Wu Yi wanted to hold a big sacrifice and pray to God, so that after his death he could serve the God of God like the previous monarchs of the Shang Dynasty. He wanted enough sacrifices.

Human sacrifice has developed more rules after experiencing the depression during the period of "Black Turtle God" and the subsequent counterattack after Fu Hao's death.

The more noble a person, such as the lord or prince of the Fang Kingdom, is sacrificed as a human animal, the more pleased God will be.

The businessman's underlying logic is that God's servants have such a high status in the world. How can God - that is, Li Ping'an - be unhappy?

Li Ping'an could only say that these ancient religions are really ignorant.

He didn't see a single servant up there!

Ahem, let’s get down to business.

Just when Wu Yi needed sacrifices, Ji Li led the Zhou army to attack the Guirong, a large tribal alliance in the west, and captured twelve tribal leaders as sacrifices to Wu Yi.

King Wu Yi of Shang Dynasty was very happy, and Ji Li received a heavy reward for this.

With the prestige and power established by Ji Li in Chaoge, Zhou State transformed from a small country and began to merge and expand.

After the death of King Wu Yi of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Ding (grandfather of Emperor Xin of King Zhou) succeeded to the throne of Shang Dynasty. Ji Li continued to represent the Shang Kingdom in foreign campaigns, and Ji Li continued to represent the Shang Kingdom in foreign campaigns, and finally became one of the three nobles, and also earned the title of 'priest'.

What is a pastor?

The word "mu" means "herdsman".

To put it simply, Ji Li became the shepherd of the more than two hundred Shang princes in the west. If the western princes did not follow Ji Li's teachings, the Zhou state could attack them at any time without reporting to the King of Shang.

The Zhou Kingdom thus entered a stage of rapid expansion.

There were also many talented people within the Zhou Kingdom, and it still had a dual-agricultural development model. While raising cattle and sheep, they also promoted farm tools for farming, and the national power expanded rapidly.

Then comes the drama of great achievements that shock the master.

Wen Ding was afraid of the rapidly developing Zhou State, so he killed Ji Li and sinned against Zhou ministers.

The Kingdom of Zhou was booming, but its momentum was easily snuffed out by King Wen Ding of Shang. This was also considered as the routine rule of King Shang as the mortal lord of Nanzhou.

After Ji Li's death, Ji Chang succeeded to the throne of Xibohou.

Ji Chang donated a large amount of treasures to the King of Shang, almost wiping out the wealth of Zhou State. Zhou State took the initiative to give up about one-third of the power it had expanded, thus gaining Wen Ding's 'trust' again.

Even so, Zhou is still the strongest vassal state in the west.

Most of the civil servants and veterans who followed Ji Li in the war survived and continued to train soldiers and horses for the Zhou Kingdom. Ji Chang had a reputation as a virtuous man when he was young and attracted many talents from various places.

Ji Chang took the initiative to take on the family mission of capturing the Qiang people and sending them to Chaoge, thus stabilizing his position as Xibohou.

Si Xin was born beautiful, and she also represented a force. The union between Ji Chang and her was a political marriage, which could be regarded as Ji Chang's self-rescue at the most dangerous moment of Xibohou Mansion.

Si Xin was virtuous and imitated the virtuous mothers of ancient times. She took the female family members of the Xibohou Mansion to weave and sew clothes, and she also gave birth to four sons for Xibohou.

True · the Holy Body of the Innate Son.

Since Ji Li's death, Ji Chang has become extremely cautious.

That's why Ji Chang said this when the couple talked at night.

Ji Chang didn't show any disrespect to King Wen Ding of the Shang Kingdom, but as for what Ji Chang was thinking in his heart...

That's really unknown.

Li Ping'an was a young master in the Xibohou Mansion, and gradually discovered some of Ji Chang's secrets.

That was because his fourth son, Ji Dan, had just celebrated his first birthday and was already able to go for a walk.

Li Ping'an has his own old servant, and Si Xin is pregnant and has stopped breastfeeding early, which makes him live on rice porridge and minced meat every day.

Due to the effect of this ray of spiritual power, he is already quite handsome at just one year old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a pouted mouth, and the flesh on his face can produce water when pinched.

Among the generally unattractive men of the Ji family, suddenly there was such a lovely young master, which easily earned Li Ping'an more love than the eldest, second, and third children combined.

This young master never cries or makes a fuss every day, and is very lovable, which makes his adventures in the mansion a lot easier.

On this day, Li Pingan was strolling and entered Ji Chang's study, and then bumped into Ji Chang coming out of the secret room.

The so-called secret room is actually a cellar.

Li Pingan's celestial consciousness had long seen this place. It was filled with topographical maps, and turtle shells and ancient shell coins were placed everywhere. However, Li Pingan didn't recognize the symbols and characters on them, and he hadn't paid much attention to them before.

Which prince hasn't ordered the secret room yet?

——Although some of the secret rooms of the great princes are used to play some perverted games.

The entrance and exit of the cellar is in the corner of the study room. A large wooden board is the door, and there are sloping stone steps below it.

The little Li Ping'an Ji Dan looked into Ji Chang's eyes.

Li Ping'an subconsciously turned around and ran away, but before he could make any move, he immediately remembered that he was a one-year-old baby and could only call out "daddy" a few times. In the eyes of adults, he was not sensible.

He deliberately touched his back foot with his left foot and fell flat on his butt.

Li Ping'an snorted twice.

Ji Chang's laughter came from behind.

Ji Chang walked out of the cellar, turned around and carefully closed the wooden board, put on a chair, walked up behind Li Pingan, and picked him up from the ground.

Li Ping'an immediately stopped complaining.

"Why are Dan'er here?" Ji Chang asked softly.

Li Ping'an couldn't say a word, he just lay on Ji Chang's shoulder and hummed twice.

Ji Chang looked at the old slave not far from the door, carried Li Ping'an out of the study, and nodded to the few guards guarding the door.

The guard bowed his head and accepted the order, took two steps forward, covered the old slave's mouth, and dragged him directly outside the courtyard gate.

Ji Chang held Ji Dan in his arms and did not let Ji Dan see the bloody scene that followed.

Afterwards, Ji Chang carried Li Ping'an to Si Xin's house as if nothing was wrong, and asked Si Xin to arrange two younger servants for Ji Dan.

Si Xin didn't ask any questions, but when she took Ji Dan, her hands shook unconsciously.

That night, Xiao Jidan fell into a deep sleep.

Li Ping'an woke up from his dormitory in heaven, raised his hand and touched his chin, and carefully considered the things hidden in Ji Chang's cellar.

Ji Chang had hatred for the Shang Dynasty royal family, so the things in the cellar were obviously very important.

The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable.

The Zhou Kingdom had been weakened a dozen years ago and now it had to keep a low profile for development, so Ji Chang could only endure it.

Good guy, the Shang Dynasty of Zhou Dynasty is really not a historical accident.

For the rise of a power, Zhou State has almost all the factors that need to be present.

A virtuous and ruthless monarch, diligent and honest ministers, soldiers who are good at recruiting and fighting, firm control over the surrounding small countries, and vigorous development of productivity.

Although relative to the three directions of east, north and south, Zhou State is now the weakest in strength and prestige among the four princes.

But decades later, that may not necessarily be what it will be like.

Li Ping'an sat there and began to think about whether he should increase his 'investment' in the State of Zhou and arrange for a few confidants to join the State of Zhou as ministers, so that he could control the State of Zhou from all aspects later.

By controlling the Kingdom of Zhou, the lifeline of the Taoist Immortal's Conferred God Tribulation will be strangled.

Yes, the future King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, is the key.

As the fourth child, he must have a good relationship with the boss and the second child. If there is any drama between the boss and the second child, he must stand unswervingly on the side of Ji Fa, the second child.

After all, the boss is Boyikao... In the Fengshen script, his end is a miserable one...
