Chao Ge Chapter 20 Ji Chang’s Name as a Sage(2/2)
"Father is more worried. If the king gets drunk and suddenly convicts them."
Ji Fa muttered: "This is too much of a waste of food...but the king is a king, so he can definitely drink enough if he wants to."
He also smacked his lips.
"That thing is harmful to your health." Li Ping'an shook his head and looked at the pile of bamboo slips behind him. "Let's arrange for someone to burn all the things I wrote."
"Ah? Burned?"
"Otherwise?" Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, "I just want to give myself some encouragement. I'm writing a book now. What will I do when I get old?"
Ji Fa nodded.
The fourth child is right.
"I'll go find a yard for you right now!"
"Hey, just find me an ordinary place to live in the downtown area."
"Why?"
"I want to observe the common people and find ways to govern the herdsmen," Li Ping'an said nonsense seriously, "so that I can better assist my brother later."
Ji Fa couldn't help but be in awe, turned around and started busy.
Li Ping'an stared at the air in a daze for a while, then stretched out, waiting for a heavy rain and thunderstorm.
Ji Chang's good days in Chaoge City are probably coming to an end.
The game between Zhou and Shang seems to be a game between ministers and kings, but it is actually a game between the newly rising Fang State and the old Fang State, and it is also the collision between the culture of Zhou State and the culture of Shang State.
Of course, the culture of these days is mainly reflected in sacrifices.
Mortals are not enlightened and the spread of books is limited, so everything must be done step by step.
Another half month has passed.
During a thunderstorm, Li Ping'an left the dungeon under Ji Fa's arrangement.
He was thin and had too fair skin. He was lying in the pavilion, dressed in rich clothes, with a rosy complexion and a few Ganoderma lucidum flowers appearing around him - which were actually obtained by Ji Fa secretly.
When the guards in the mansion discovered Ji Dan, they were shocked and ran around shouting, and the whole Xibohou Mansion immediately became lively.
Half a day later, rumors spread in Xiqi City that Ji Dan, the fourth son of Xibohou, had returned from heaven.
Under Ji Chang's instruction, Li Ping'an also personally told the ministers of Zhou about the situation in the heaven. The point is that most of the gods in the heaven no longer care about the affairs of the lower world. They like to drink, have fun, and gradually integrate with the heaven and earth.
This is actually Ji Chang using Ji Dan's words to try to shake the foundation of the Shang Kingdom's sacrificial culture.
Li Ping'an didn't speculate on what ripples this matter would cause in the future;
Anyway, he did as Ji Chang said, did what Ji Chang arranged, and completed Ji Dan's 'mission'.
In fact, Li Pingan can guess it with his toes.
After entering Chaoge City and carefully observing the Shang royal family, Ji Chang gradually lost the fear he had at the beginning. He began to think and plan how to avenge his father's murder and how to let the Zhou Kingdom replace the Shang Kingdom.
The fire of strategy hidden in the sixty-four hexagrams has now begun to burn continuously.
as expected.
Ji Dan's incident spread throughout half of the Shang Kingdom within three months. Almost everyone in the western princes knew about it, and all the princes in the south and north heard about it.
'Most of the gods in the heaven are enjoying themselves and don't care much about what happens in the world. After they enter the heaven, they won't care much about their descendants. Instead, they will control wind, rain, thunder and lightning as gods.'
"God is impersonal and will not be happy or angry because of human emotions."
"What the gods care about is not how many things or people are worshipped. No matter how many people and sacrifices are worshipped, disasters will happen when disasters are due. What the gods care about is just how to make the four seasons rotate and the sun and moon alternate."
These views were all "set up" by Ji Chang, allowing Ji Dan to quietly mix them in when describing his experiences in the God Realm.
Li Pingan is very happy to do this.
What's this?
The theoretical basis for destroying business.
The sacrifices of the Shang Kingdom have been repeatedly emphasized. The Shang Kingdom has continued to pass on the sacrifices for many years. Each generation of Shang kings has become a god to serve God and a minister of God.
If the vassal states do not respect the King of Shang, God will punish them.
At this point, although Ji Chang's motives were not pure, he became a 'progressive' person for social change.
Li Pingan is very happy to see this development.
About half a year had passed since he came out of the dungeon, and the princes in the western part of the Great Shang Dynasty began to spread the praises that Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, was a born sage.
This was due to Ji Chang's reputation accumulated over the years, and the second was due to Zhou Guo's increasingly expanding strength that he tried his best to hide;
The third reason is because of Ji Dan's return from heaven.
The hearts of princes from all walks of life are eager to move;
There was singing and dancing in Chaoge City.
However, the fire could not be suppressed. This matter spread in Chaoge City, and businessmen began to discuss Ji Chang's reputation as a "sage". All kinds of exaggerated rumors were told.
Ji Chang was keenly aware of an unusual smell.
He declined guests and hid in his mansion to excuse himself from illness.
This matter soon reached Di Xin's ears, and Di Xin directly smashed a wine jar, injuring two beauties who were waiting nearby.
He cursed loudly.
But he is wondering why the name of the sage is not that of the king, but that of his ministers.
Under Ji Chang's butt, there was a small flame again.
However, this matter itself was done by Ji Chang himself, and Li Ping'an executed it perfectly.
In a small courtyard near the downtown area of Xiqi City.
Li Ping'an and the old guards lived in seclusion here, just like in the dungeon, reading, eating, and meditating every day.
On weekdays, he does not need to worry about matters in heaven. Yaochi, Dongwang and his father Li Dazhi can easily handle them.
He can concentrate on enlightenment here.
The East China Sea has always been calm, and Huo Zha has not had any conflicts with the Dragon King of the Dragon Palace.
After eating the cakes drawn by Li Ping'an last time, the Dragon Clan is now focused on improving their moral character. The Dragon King is actively engaged in building the Dragon Clan's customs, and even takes the initiative to send troops to the coast of the East China Sea to eliminate those shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
It seems that the conflict between Dragon Palace and Chentangguan will not arise.
Under the supervision of Master Huanglong, Master Taiyi also restrained himself a lot. When teaching his disciples, he would also teach them to behave in a low-key manner and do things in a high-profile manner, and so on.
The two sects of Chanjie are still secretly active in the Shang Kingdom.
They will not blatantly make friends with the princes like they did before, and they are not in the mood to preach. Instead, they will find those disciples with qualifications and backgrounds, accept them as registered disciples, and leave some treasures behind.
The thinking mode of these two religions is still that of ‘playing chess’.
Li Ping'an was too lazy to care about it and couldn't care about it. After all, both saints wanted to save face. They both wanted to win in the fight to become gods and didn't want to lose.
He just wanted to keep the conflict from getting too intense.
Just as Li Ping'an was thinking whether Ji Chang was imprisoned or whether the Dongyi tribe's comeback broke out beforehand, an unexpected "guest" asked for a meeting outside the Heavenly Palace.
The person who came was not an outsider, it was his adopted sister Yao Ji.
'Didn't she escape the disaster?'
When Li Ping'an saw Yao Ji's frowning expression, he was a little confused. He made some calculations with his fingers and mobilized the power of heaven.
