Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 635: Emperor Xin leads the army in person, and the gods collectively die.
When King Wen raised his fist and went to the battlefield, the result was obvious.
The strategist Zhang Liang was chased by Fuxi who was very close to him and had no way to go to heaven or to the earth.
He had no chance to return to the interior to command the battle.
Xiao He could not hold on alone. After the four gates of east, south, west and north were destroyed by "natural disasters", he knew that Youhun Pass could no longer be defended.
Xiao He looked up at the sky and saw thunder and lightning. He sighed deeply.
"This is destiny, not the fault of war!"
"Withdraw!"
He immediately organized the remaining Shang army and evacuated Youhun Pass as quickly as possible.
I heard that when King Wen went to war, not a blade of grass grew, and even passing dogs got slapped! (Xiaotian: Woof woof~)
Now, while this gentleman is messing with Zhang Zifang, I'd better get out of here quickly.
So Xiao He ran away immediately.
Youhun Pass was captured by the coalition forces of the princes in one fell swoop.
As important gateways on the western and eastern fronts of the Shang Dynasty, Sishui Pass and Youhun Pass were successively breached, shocking the world.
When the news reached Chaoge, Emperor Xin in the Nine-Room Palace was furious.
"The two armies were defeated. Two important passes on the western battlefield were breached, and Youhun Pass on the eastern battlefield was broken. The entire Yanzhou area fell into the hands of the enemy!"
"This is the greatest defeat ever suffered by the Shang Dynasty since its founding!"
"My Lords, tell me, what should we do in the face of such national humiliation?"
Emperor Xin couldn't help but be angry. Rebellions by vassal states had occurred during the reigns of previous emperors, but which emperor didn't sweep across the world and suppress the vassal states?
How come when his son Shou came to power, the invincible Shang Dynasty suddenly became weak?
Looking at the world today, rebels are everywhere and chaos is surging. Who still remembers that this is the world of the Shang Dynasty?
Faced with the furious Emperor Xin, all the ministers were trembling with fear and remained silent.
Yabibi Gan also kept his mouth shut and did not say a word.
There was no way. It was really difficult for the wise men to explain the current situation to Emperor Xin.
Tell him that the destiny of the Shang Dynasty has come, and that Your Majesty is destined to become the king of a fallen country?
If Emperor Xin awakens the true spirits of his corpse ancestors and ministers, then everything will be easy and we can all sit down and enjoy the show together.
But the problem is, Emperor Xin hasn’t awakened yet!
I don’t know if it was because Jiang Chen was too honest and didn’t consider the problem of the “alarm clock” at all, or if he drank too much Mengpo soup when he came here and locked up his past.
In short, the current Emperor Xin is very pure.
He was an emperor who longed to recreate the great achievements of his ancestor Cheng Tang and lead the Shang Dynasty to glory.
Moreover, because he had been practicing with the high priest since he was young, Emperor Xin had reached the highest level in both the ability to govern the country and the martial arts.
He has absolutely no potential to become a tyrant or a fool.
In other words, in this time and space, Emperor Xin, who was reincarnated from a general, was a genuine wise ruler.
In essence, the "group of wise men" in Chaoge are all a group of fun-loving people.
The gods of pleasure often felt ashamed when faced with Emperor Xin, who was honest and worked hard to govern the country as a wise ruler.
"Alas~~, Your Majesty is so serious that it seems that we, a group of wise men, are out of place." Shang Rong was filled with emotion.
Yang Ren agreed: "Who says it's not true? I'm ready to sacrifice my life and become a martyr for my cause!"
"But His Majesty is not stupid at all. He didn't even give me this opportunity!"
Yabi sighed, "I can't imagine that Corpse Ancestor General Chen was born from Beast Emperor Shen Ni. Is it that the gods of the Kaitian Era are pure-minded, or is Beast Emperor Shen Ni a bit too extreme?"
"Now that His Majesty has arrived here, what can we do?"
Mei Bo grinned and said in a voice transmission, "You can't say that, Ya Xiang."
"A few days ago, Yun Zhongzi was invited by us to come to Chaoge. Under the pretext of exorcising a demon, he presented the Juque Sword to Your Majesty so that we could begin the real slaughter."
"But our Majesty Shenwei was not fooled at all!"
Upon hearing this, Yabi Bigan, Shang Rong, Yang Ren and others twitched their lips.
yes.
Yun Zhongzi is here.
The sword was presented and the monster was discovered.
But Emperor Xin turned around and burned the Juque sword.
As for why.
All I can say is that when Emperor Xin found out that his royal wife was a nine-tailed fox, he... became even more excited!
Anyway, since that day, Su Daji not only did not fall out of favor, but became even more favored by the emperor.
What's the point of having no time to enjoy the emperor's pleasure? The emperor has a special place for you every night.
What a maidservant who helped the delicate girl up weakly, and showed her grace again and again.
cough cough~~
In short, Emperor Xin was a serious emperor who did not discriminate against fox spirits at all...
After all, in this era, the nine-tailed fox is truly a symbol of good fortune.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it."
Seeing that Emperor Xin's anger had almost been vented, Yabi Gan stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, although we have suffered defeats on the eastern and western fronts, the situation in the north and south remains stable!"
"Thanks to the tireless efforts of the two great officials, Fei Zhong and You Hun, the Northern Marquis, Chong Houhu, and the two hundred princes of the northern border did not follow the example of the traitors and rebel against Chaoge."
"In the south, Deng Jiugong is stationed at Sanshan Pass, preventing the southern rebels from advancing a single step."
Emperor Xin's expression eased slightly.
He finally heard some good news.
Emperor Xin forced a smile and said approvingly, "You are indeed a pillar of the Shang Dynasty!"
Then, he heard in detail about the battles between the north and the south, and asked, "Second Prime Minister, has Grand Tutor Wen received any recent war reports?"
Yabi laughed dryly and said, "The Grand Tutor has a letter saying that Yuan Futong and his followers in Beihai have been pacified. The remaining rebels have fled and are unlikely to make a difference. He will soon return to the capital and send troops to Xiqi to wipe out the rebellion!"
“Okay, okay!”
When Emperor Xin heard that Grand Tutor Wen was about to return to court, he laughed heartily and said, "If Grand Tutor Wen returns to court, what is there to fear from the princes' rebellion?"
The ministers also laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"The day the Grand Tutor returns to the court will be the day for revenge!"
"Once our Shang Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers arrive, the Xiqi rebels will surely surrender!"
"Then we can march our troops south and easily defeat the Nanbohou and his entourage!"
"Then march eastward to wipe out the rebellious officials of the Dongyi tribe!"
“…”
All the wise men tried to whitewash Master Wen and praised him to the sky.
Emperor Xin knew it very well, but he had suffered repeated defeats on the front line, and Master Wen was truly a tough guy of the Shang Dynasty, so he placed his hopes on Wen Zhong to quell the unrest in the world.
However.
Just as the emperor and his ministers were celebrating, a report arrived.
"His Majesty!"
"Li Jing at Chentang Pass rises up against the Shang!"
"What?"
Emperor Xin stood up immediately.
The messenger bowed his head to the ground and said sadly, "Not only has Li Jing rebelled, but Northern Marquis Chong Houhu and two hundred other lords from the northern border have also risen up in response. Together, our combined armies of two hundred thousand men have laid siege to Jizhou City."
The officials of Chaoge were shocked when they heard this: "If Jizhou is lost, the northern gate of Chaoge will be wide open. Moreover, the Grand Tutor is still in Beihai. Li Jing and Chong Houhu are trying to cut off the Grand Tutor's retreat and prevent him from returning to the court!"
"Your Majesty, I request to return to Jizhou and join forces with the Grand Tutor to attack the rebels!"
When Su Hu came to Chaoge to pay homage to the emperor, he heard that his old nest had been stolen, and he immediately requested to go into battle.
Emperor Xin was silent for a long time.
Then, he made a decision that no one expected.
"I will lead the army in person!"
"What?"
Bigan and others were stunned.
Emperor Xin solemnly said, "I will personally lead the expedition to Jizhou!"
"No!" Shang Rong immediately advised.
"Why not?" There was no expression on Emperor Xin's face.
Shang Rong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, the Great Emperor of Yin and Shang. How can such a noble body be easily put in danger?"
"Danger?"
Emperor Xin chuckled softly and suddenly took a step forward.
Boom~~
The heavens shook, the earth trembled, and the universe trembled.
A tremendous amount of blood and energy rose from the Nine-Room Hall, and Emperor Xin released his martial arts external scene.
But in the vast universe, there is a martial arts spirit sitting high in the center, the nine orifices and internal organs under its body are transformed into the heavens, and the 365 acupoints interpret the universe.
In this world, there seems to be no distinction between front and back, left and right, and no distinction between past and future.
Suddenly, Emperor Xin raised his hand, and from the sky, the universe shattered and returned to nothingness!
The sense of vastness and enormity is mixed with the feeling of horror and destruction, and the inside and outside are integrated and indistinguishable from each other!
"To me, where in the world can be called a dangerous place?"
Emperor Xin's voice rang in the ears of the wise men, like rolling spring thunder, and a vast and ancient aura came to their faces, as if the supreme demon god from the ancient times had resurrected, shocking all the officials in Chaoge.
"Your Majesty? You..."
Senior official Yang Ren looked at the invincible Emperor Xin with trembling eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.
Didn’t you say that your true spirit hasn’t been awakened?
So what's going on?
Shang Rong, Mei Bo and other ministers also looked panicked.
If His Majesty had recovered long ago, then wouldn't their previous actions be dancing in the face of death?
At this moment, all the wise men of the Shang Dynasty were panicked.
It was Yabi Gan who first regained his composure. After a brief moment of panic, he immediately reacted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on achieving mastery of martial arts!"
Bi Gan bowed his hands and lowered his eyebrows, with full posture.
The courtiers quickly reacted and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on achieving mastery of martial arts!"
"This is the manifestation of our ancestors, and it is God's blessing on the Shang Dynasty!"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. Your martial arts have been further improved. This is truly a blessing for the Shang Dynasty!"
“…”
The gods of fun are very panicked at this moment.
But they didn't dare to reveal any of his thoughts.
Today, Emperor Xin must be a martial arts god even if he is not.
Otherwise, we will all die socially!
Having treated Hunyuan Supreme as a fool for so long, if this Supreme had already come to his senses, then...
sky!
I dare not even think about it!
I thought it was a victory for the God of Fun, but it turned out that the honest man quietly walked behind the scenes and watched their performance?
So, after all this fuss, I turned out to be the clown?
The wise men could not and were unwilling to accept such an outcome.
Even if the other party is the Emperor of Shang Dynasty or Hunyuan Daluo!
After seeing the congratulations from his ministers, Emperor Xin had no other reaction except for enjoying the vanity.
Oh, that’s not right.
After showing off his military power, Emperor Xin proposed the idea of leading the army in person.
"I owe my current military strength entirely to the guidance of my former teacher."
"And you have seen that there is no place in this world that is dangerous to me. It is not impossible for me to lead the army in person!"
Emperor Xin said, "Besides, I am not going to Dongyi or Xiqi, but Jizhou."
"Now that Jizhou has not been lost, and Grand Tutor Wen is in Beihai, I am personally leading the expedition this time to escort Grand Tutor back to the capital!"
Yabi seemed to have ignored the previous incident and continued talking naturally.
"If Your Majesty wishes to escort the Grand Tutor back to the court, there is no need to go in person."
"The Grand Master is the pillar of the Shang Dynasty. He and his plans can be completely trusted. Even if Li Jing joins forces with Chong Houhu and others to besiege Jizhou, it will be impossible to capture it in a short period of time!
"This amount of time is enough for the Grand Tutor to react. He will definitely go all out to attack the allied forces of the princes in the south."
"At this moment, Chaoge only needs to send General Su Hu back to Jizhou to cooperate with the Grand Tutor, and we can defeat them so badly that they can't even take care of themselves!"
"Therefore, Your Majesty, please do not mention the matter of the Emperor personally leading the army again."
No matter what, even if Qunxianshe died in Jiujian Palace, Emperor Xin could not leave Chaoge at this time.
Otherwise, things may turn in an unpredictable direction.
Bigan glanced at Su Hu, who immediately advised: "Your Majesty, the lives of the people and the people of the country depend on you alone. If you leave Chaoge easily, your subjects will be in a state of panic and confusion, which will inevitably give the rebels an opportunity to take advantage!"
Facing the two people's advice, Emperor Xin pondered for a long time and said, "What you said makes sense."
"But I still intend to lead the army myself!"
Qunxian's heart was lifted again.
"Your Majesty, you can't go!"
"Your Majesty, you can't go!"
All the wise men in Chaoge bowed down in unison and tried their best to stop Emperor Xin from leading the army in person.
Emperor Xin looked at his kneeling ministers, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, but he chose to go against the opinions of his ministers.
"I have made up my mind. Please stop trying to persuade me." Emperor Xin flicked his sleeves and stood up to leave.
Seeing this, Shang Rong took a step forward and grabbed Emperor Xin's sleeve.
"Your Majesty, if you don't listen to my advice, I will die in this palace!"
Wow~~
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin had no reaction, and all the wise men looked up.
Their eyes lit up as they looked at Shang Rong, who was ready to sacrifice himself heroically.
Here it comes!!
After going around in circles, everything is finally back on track!
There are no immortals in the Nine-Room Palace. How can this be called deification?
If this head crashes down, it will not only create a god, but may also create a "tyrant"!
So, a group of fun gods were eager to try. They set their sights on Shang Rong's position and planned to take over immediately after he was killed.
It is bound to splash blood on Emperor Xin’s face!
Anyway, now I am treated like a monkey. If I lose to an honest person, I am basically socially dead.
Let’s do something extreme!
However, their wish to die did not come true. Emperor Xin grabbed Shang Rong's body with one hand, making it impossible for him to die.
"Ministers die admonishing their subjects. This is a scene that only occurs when a foolish monarch takes the throne in the last days of a dynasty."
"Although I am not as virtuous a ruler as Emperor Cheng Tang or Emperor Wu Ding, I am definitely not a tyrant who disregards the lives of his ministers."
Emperor Xin took Shang Rong's hand, helped him up, and sighed, "The Grand Master is threatening me with death. Could it be that he wants me to bear eternal infamy?"
Shang Rong was stopped by this last sentence before he could even open his mouth.
Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead and his heart was in his throat.
'How did you know?'
Shang Rong's scalp tingled.
He looked at Emperor Xin, who had a face full of sorrow but a half-smile, and forced a smile through his throat. "Your Majesty, you worry too much."
"How could I, an old minister, have dared to threaten you in a moment of impatience?"
"It's just that I'm a supreme being. It's really inconvenient for me to lead the expedition in person!"
"Is that so?" Emperor Xin smiled noncommittally. "The Vice Prime Minister has already advised me against it, but I am determined to go. Besides the death penalty, does the Grand Master have any other wise suggestions?"
At this time, Shang Rong was firmly held by Emperor Xin's hands, unable to move at all.
I really want to die, but I can't.
Emperor Xin glanced at the group of wise men in the hall.
The wise men felt guilty and lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Your Majesty, you still can't go now!"
At this moment, a clear voice appeared in the Jiujian Hall.
"Royal Wife?"
Emperor Xin looked at Su Daji who was walking towards him in surprise.
"You're going to stop me too?"
Daji shook her head.
She walked quickly to Emperor Xin and rescued Shang Rong.
Then Daji gently held Emperor Xin's hand, looked up at him, her eyes full of charm, and said tenderly: "Your Majesty, you may go to war, but the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. If you must go, please leave an heir for the Shang Dynasty!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers' eyes lit up and they were so excited that they almost jumped up from their seats.
"The Emperor and Empress are wise!"
Yabi Bigan almost laughed himself crazy, this was a god-like assist!
He immediately stood up and said fiercely: "The country cannot be without a leader for a day!"
"If Your Majesty insists on doing what he wants, this old minister will not stop you."
"But please, Your Majesty, leave behind a heir for the foundation of the Yin Shang Dynasty and confirm him as the crown prince of the Yin Shang Dynasty!"
"Right!" Yang Ren also jumped out and said, "The crown prince is the foundation of the country. Only when the foundation is solid can the country be at peace!"
"If Your Majesty wishes to lead the army in person, please appoint a crown prince first!"
Now Emperor Xin and Daji have no children at all, let alone a crown prince.
The ministers decisively changed their minds and asked Emperor Xin to appoint a crown prince.
Want to go out and have fun?
sure!
Let’s talk about it after the baby is born!
A group of fun gods finally found a breakthrough.
No matter whether the current Emperor Xin is Hunyuan Daluo or a corpse-ancestor general.
Let us just say this: even if you cross to the other side right now, you still have to have a child first!
