Chapter 346: The Beginning of Godhood
The disciples of the three religions could not hug the four evil gods to keep warm, but Ao Bing could.
His strength has skyrocketed recently, and he can fight even a quasi-sage for one or two rounds. It is time to find someone to test his strength.
These four evil gods are undoubtedly the best targets. However, before Ao Bing could leave, news about Chaoge came first.
“Huh?”
"Pure concubine, nine-tailed fox?"
"Yun Zhongzi failed to subjugate the demon, so he ran away from Chaoge in anger and broke with Dashang?"
A series of sudden changes made the fight Ao Bing was caught off guard. He didn't expect that Di Xin would come up with so many tricks for him just because he hadn't been staring at Chao Ge for a while.
“I thought that having the disciples of the two sects watching would prevent demons from sneaking into the palace and destroying their plans.”
“I didn’t expect that I made things simple. Two It is difficult to break through the defense of the disciples, but it is easy to break through Di Xin’s defense.”
"Under the backlash of human nature, although he has strength comparable to that of a quasi-sage, his character is not as good as that of a mortal. It is not surprising that he was taken advantage of by demons."
Ao Bing stood with his hands behind his back and passed on through Chao Ge. Incoming news, try your best to analyze the current situation.
It can be seen that Di Xin's condition has further deteriorated, and even if he has not completely become a faint king, he is probably not far away.
You have mental problems yourself, and you are deceived by the demon fox. The desires in your heart are infinitely magnified, and your degeneration will undoubtedly be faster.
At this time, under the backlash of humanity, Di Xin was afraid that he would never be able to turn back. Only by dying could he regain his consciousness.
But now that Emperor Xin is still the lord of the world, who dares to kill him? Who can kill him?
“Hey, King Zhou of Shang!”
“At this time, Emperor Xin may have embarked on the path of a cowardly king, and slowly degenerated into the King of Shang Zhou recorded in later classics. ”
Ao Bing sighed, feeling helpless. In fact, he had already anticipated all this and was prepared for it. But when it really happened, he was inevitably a little emotional.
Power is really a double-edged sword. It can not only give people supreme power, but also change them beyond recognition.
Di Xin was such a wise and powerful person before, but now he is like a different person under the backlash of humanity. It is really sad.
"Di Xin began to change towards King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, and Chanjiao also broke with the great Shang Dynasty. The story recorded in Fengshen Yanyi, starting from here, is on the right track."
"That is to say, the Conferring Gods and Measuring Tribulation is finally reaching its climax."
Thinking of the recent series of changes, Ao Bing could only lament that the situation was indeed terrible.
It is outrageous that the Fengshen Calamity Tribulation that was disrupted by him was able to get back on track under the influence of the general trend. Perhaps, this is the so-called small trend can be changed, but the big trend cannot be changed.
The so-called general trend is that the great merchants will perish, and the Jiejiao will perish. No matter what changes occur, both parties are destined to be reduced to ashes.
The small trend is the fate of an individual in a great catastrophe.
Da Shang, Zhou Dynasty, Chan Jiao, Jie Jiao, these four forces are the protagonists of the great catastrophe. Their fate has long been destined and cannot be changed.
But within the four forces, many people are insignificant. Their personal destiny, no matter how they are changed, will not affect the overall situation.
Therefore, they are in a small position and their fate can be changed at will.
Just like Daji, she was supposed to be taken away by the nine-tailed fox, enter the palace to confuse Emperor Xin, and be ruined. But he was accidentally rescued by Ao Bing and escaped from the catastrophe.
At this point, she no longer has anything to do with being a god and calamity. Even the duties that should have been performed by her have been replaced by others.
The daughter of Chun Fei and Chun Hu is Daji’s replacement.
If Daji is gone, a pure woman will immediately take her place. It can be seen that as long as it does not affect the general situation and is specific to an individual, the fate can be changed.
But when it comes to the general trend, it cannot be changed.
For example, Ao Bing wanted to use the power of Chanjiao to strengthen Dashang, but the result was that he failed to win the chicken and lost the rice. Not only did he fail to succeed, but he gave Chanjiao a reason to attack Dashang.
From now on, as long as the Chan religion kills Di Xin for colluding with demons and is a first-rate faint king, then their action of overthrowing Dashang will be just and have sufficient legal basis.
“Trouble!”
Ao Bing had a headache. Xu Shitiandao felt that he had been too smooth lately, so he suddenly gave him a lesson to let him know that the trend was irreversible.
In other words, it is not something he can change now.
"It's better to go to Chaoge first. The matter of annihilating the evil gods from all directions will be put on hold for the time being. Otherwise, if Di Xin continues to toss in Chaoge, who knows what he will do next."
After thinking about it, Ao Bing still felt that it was important to stabilize Di Xin first. The evil gods from all directions are being watched by the disciples of the three religions, and they can't make waves for the time being.
As for whether Chanjiao will continue to help Chanjiao deal with the evil gods from all directions after it breaks with Dashang. The answer is undoubtedly yes, and they will definitely continue to help Dashang.
Is there any doubt about this? It is the duty of Xuanmen disciples to eliminate demons. They come to eliminate demons not in response to Emperor Xin’s orders, but to fulfill their own obligations.
So, even if Chanjiao and Di Xin had a falling out, at most it would only affect the relationship between the two parties, but it would not prevent them from continuing to perform their duties.
Demons must be eradicated.
Of course the disciples of Chanjiao can leave, but once they leave, their reputation will be ruined and they will no longer be qualified to be the leader of Xuanmen.
……
…………
With just a thought, Ao Bing appeared in Chaoge City. Then, before he could see Di Xin, he learned a shocking news.
Queen Jiang ordered people to assassinate Emperor Xin but failed. The emperor was furious and threw her into the cold palace and decided to depose the queen.
At the same time, the two princes born to the queen, worried about being implicated, escaped from Chaoge with the support of the guards and wanted to defect to their grandfather Dongbohou.
“The curtain of becoming a god has indeed been opened!”
After hearing this, Ao Bing was not too surprised, because according to the general trend, this step should indeed be reached. .
As mentioned before, although the national power of Dashang has weakened and is far from its peak, it is still extremely powerful and cannot be competed by the four princes.
Such a huge force cannot be destroyed by simply destroying it, so it must be weakened first.
What is happening now is, in essence, weakening the strength of Dashang. How can we destroy the Great Shang without first letting the people of Emperor Xin betray their relatives and force everyone in the world to rebel?
"Send an order to Huanghou to lead his troops to recover the two princes. Just say that with me here, I can definitely keep them safe."
"The king only has two sons, and they are both legitimate sons. Sooner or later, the throne belongs to his two brothers. No one can kill them.”
“Who will inherit the throne in the future?”
Ao Bing did not enter the palace to meet Emperor Xin immediately. Instead, he found his officials and asked him to inform Huang Feihu to recover the two escaped princes first.
If the two princes really want to go to Dongbohou, things will be troublesome. Even if Dongbohou doesn't want to do it, he can't do it.
Di Xin only had two sons, so he could kill them if he wanted to. Even if the superiors were really tempted to kill, the civil and military officials in the court would dissuade him.
It is precisely because he only has two sons that his two sons are extremely precious. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the foundation of the country.
In this case, if the only heir of Dashang all went to Dong Bohou, he would not be able to explain clearly even if he was covered in words.
Who would believe that he had no objection?
Not to mention, it is a tradition in Kyushu to use the power of the mother clan to regain everything that belongs to oneself. During the Xia Dynasty, Taikang lost his country, and Shaokang used the power of his mother's clan to regain the Xia Dynasty.
The same is true for Di Xin. He is not the eldest brother. He has several older brothers. The reason why he can inherit the throne is because his mother's family is powerful.
Now, the two princes have taken refuge with their mother clan, and their mother clan is known as the strongest princes in the world.
It's hard not to think about whether the two princes will use the power of their mother clan to fight back to Chaoge and take the throne from Di Xin.
The probability of this happening is the lowest, but it is not impossible. Therefore, to be on the safe side, the two princes must not leave Dashang and go to Dong Bohou.
"I obey!"
After receiving the order, the official immediately ran to the camp to look for Huang Feihu. At this time, Ao Bing just straightened his clothes and walked towards the palace.
“I have met Lord Xiangbang!”
When the palace guards saw Ao Bing, they bowed and saluted, and at the same time ordered people to pass the news, their posture was very low.
Xiangbang, also known as Xiangguo, is an official position specially established by Ao Bing to further seize power. He is the head of the civil and military officials and is in charge of all government affairs. He can be called an uncrowned king.
To describe it in one sentence, apart from not having the title of co-lord of the world, Ao Bing has all the powers that Emperor Xin can exercise.
O powerful minister, Ao Bing is now. However, he is only in the primary stage of power minister, still lower than the king's power, and cannot yet abolish or establish.
“Where is the king? I want to see him!”
Ao Bing asked the hurried chamberlain unceremoniously and asked him to lead the way. He wanted to see Di Xin.
"This..."
Hearing this, the waiter looked hesitant, as if he had something to hide, and hesitated to reveal the whereabouts of Emperor Xin.
"Huh?"
Ao Bing looked displeased and looked at the chambermaid majestically. Although he didn't speak, it put a lot of pressure on him.
"The king was assassinated earlier, and Concubine Chun was frightened by this. The king is now stabilizing Concubine Chun, and specifically ordered no one to disturb him."
The chamberlain was startled and replied quickly. He knew in his heart that Ao Bing wanted to kill him, it was just a matter of words, so when Ao Bing was unhappy, he didn't dare to hide it.
“Absurd!”
“I’m already in a hurry, and I’m still addicted to beauty.”
“Lead the way!”
"I want to ask him carefully, whether he wants to put the country at risk for a woman?"
Ao Bing snorted coldly and motioned to the chamberlain to lead the way.
“Yes!”
Seeing Ao Bing’s anger, the chamberlain did not dare to refuse at all, and walked cautiously in front to lead the way for him.
Not long after, a few people arrived in front of a gorgeous palace, and heard the chamberlain shout, "Your Majesty..."
However, before he finished speaking, an angry voice came from the hall, interrupting his words: "Didn't I tell you everything? Don't let anyone disturb me!"
The voice was full of anger. , like thunder roaring in the sky, shocking people.
"Your Majesty, I have something to come to see you!"
At this time, Ao Bing said expressionlessly.
As if he heard his voice, the restless atmosphere in the hall immediately calmed down.
Then, I heard Di Xin say hesitantly: "The Prime Minister is back. If you have something to see me, just ask someone to tell you. Why bother to go there in person?"
"Such a big thing happened. , I have to go back!" Ao Bing's tone remained unchanged and he was determined to see Di Xin.
"The Prime Minister will wait for a moment, I will get up now."
Thinking of his recent actions, Emperor Xin couldn't help but feel guilty, and he couldn't comfort Concubine Chun, so he straightened his clothes. , and wanted to go out to meet Ao Bing.
The nobles of the state, even if they are monarchs, should treat each other with courtesy.
"Your Majesty, you are the master of the world. He is just a minister. How can there be any reason in the world for a monarch to welcome his ministers?"
Seeing Emperor Xin being so solemn, Concubine Chun, who felt she was being ignored, said somewhat unhappy.
"The Prime Minister has made great contributions to the great merchants, and no courtesy can be too much. Therefore, my beloved concubine, please do not say these words again, and let outsiders hear them. Even I will not be able to protect you."
Di Xin seemed to be startled and quickly warned. Ao Bing revived Tongtianze, and this achievement was so great that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would lead to the establishment of another great business.
So throughout the country, I don’t know how many people respected him. Even he, a monarch, did not dare to treat Ao Bing poorly, lest he offend the people of the country.
Even if he is like this, what's more, his status and authority all come from his pure concubine.
Ao Bing is really determined to kill Chun Fei. Unless he and Ao Bing are willing to lose both sides, he really can't protect Chun Fei.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I didn't know that the status of the Prime Minister was so high that I almost harmed your Majesty."
When Concubine Chun saw Emperor Xin acting like this, she immediately knew that now was not the time to sow discord. So he quickly asked for help.
"My beloved, there is no need to worry, the Prime Minister has always been generous and will not care about these trivial matters."
At this moment, Emperor Xin's mind was filled with Ao Bing's purpose for seeing him, whether to scold him harshly or reprimand him. He had no intention of talking to Concubine Chun. He hurriedly exchanged a few words and left the hall to greet Ao Bing.
Not long after, Di Xinping, who had already welcomed Ao Bing into the main hall, stepped back and began to discuss business with him.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Queen Jiang ordered someone to assassinate you. Is this true?"
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Ao Bing stopped being polite and asked directly.
“It’s not that Yu was assassinated, it was just a coincidence that the queen felt jealous when she saw that Yu doted on Concubine Chun, so she ordered someone to assassinate Concubine Chun.”
"I never thought that Yu was also present at that time, and the matter suddenly became a big deal, and the queen wanted to assassinate Yu."
Di Xin explained with some embarrassment. He didn't want to tell the truth, but he knew in his heart that the queen The lies about assassinating him could not fool Ao Bing at all.
With the atmosphere of Dashang, if he died, how could the queen live alone? I must die for him and ascend with him!
So, the queen had no reason at all and it was impossible to assassinate him.
"Assassination of Concubine Chun..."
"Your Majesty, don't be joking. Queen Jiang is the master of the harem and the mother of the world. She can kill Concubine Chun openly. Why should she do such a shameful thing?"
" Therefore, there is something wrong with this matter. Queen Jiang must have been wronged. Please let the king release Queen Jiang as soon as possible to calm the world."
Seeing that Di Xin was still avoiding the easy matter, Ao Bing couldn't help but increase his tone.
Don't say that it is impossible for Queen Jiang to assassinate Concubine Chun. Even if she does, the matter can only be reduced to a major issue. It should be resolved as privately as possible instead of making a big deal out of it.
