Chapter 561 Chapter 561
In order to be safe, Lin Xi asked Gong'e to go to the previous court to invite Jiang Ziya to accompany her.Jiang Ziya is not allowed to enter the inner court in terms of his official position, but considering that he is over 70 years old, there is no hindrance to entering the inner court.Then he sent Gong'e to invite Concubine Huang to hold Lei Zhenzi and Concubine Yang to bring Nezha to the palace, and they accompanied her to receive the visiting guests.
The two Taoist maids who went to the central palace to meet the empress are the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit and the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit from the Biyou Palace in the East China Sea. There is also a companion who is dressed as an attendant fairy. For congratulations.
The Holy Mother of Guiling and the Holy Mother of Jinling came from the sect of the leader of Jiejiao Tongtian, and they had an inexplicable disagreement with Jiang Ziya, who was born in Chanjiao, but Empress Jiang was very hospitable to guests. I was promoted, so I received the teacher training today to give a congratulatory gift.
Fairy Bixia from Nuwa Palace also said the same thing.
Lin Xi didn't want to reveal her identity, so she thanked a few people for their kindness with a smile, and then pretended not to know which fairy Jiang Ziya knew was promoted last night.
Jiang Ziya's divination skills are excellent, he pinched his fingers and calculated that it was Empress Jiang in the seat, but Empress Jiang said that obviously to hide herself.Jiang Ziya practiced Taoism for 40 years and finally became an extremely human minister. Naturally, he was not a purely foolish person.
"Going back to Empress, I couldn't figure it out. Presumably the person who was promoted last night didn't want outsiders to know the inside story."
Except for Fairy Bixia who was a bit short on calculations, the Holy Mother of Guiling and the Holy Mother of Jinling were basically sure that the empress in front of them was the one promoted last night.
The Holy Mother of Jinling smiled and took out a Qiankun bag from her sleeve pocket, "If Jiang Shaojian can't figure it out, then I will treat it as a visit to the Empress Empress, and I hope that the empress will not be too polite and accept it for the sake of Biyou Palace." .”
The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit also took out another Qiankun bag and put it together.
"Empress Empress, after the master's deduction last night, he said that Empress Empress has a relationship with Biyou Palace, so he specially ordered the poor Taoist priest to come and see her."
Fairy Bixia was passive.She stood up and saluted Queen Jiang, "Empress Empress, my Empress Nuwa ordered Bixia to give a gift to the promoted fairy, and I asked Empress to pass it on to her."
Empress Jiang smiled and said, "Thank you two Taoists. The gifts from Nuwa Palace are temporarily stored in the Central Palace. If no one comes to pick up gifts from this palace, Nuwa Palace is not far from Chaoge. I will send someone to give it to you." Go back."
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit saw that Nezha and Lei Zhenzi were very good-natured, and was very interested. When she asked that they hadn't entered the Taoist sect yet, she smiled and wanted to accept disciples.
Empress Jiang shied away, "There are many decent officials in the court, and this is His Majesty's adoptive son. It's better to wait for His Majesty to come back and discuss it."
The Holy Mother of Guiling and the Holy Mother of Jinling understood what Jiang Hou meant, left gifts and left the house, and Fairy Bixia also left together.
After everyone had left, Lin Xi looked at the three Qiankun bags on the table, eager to see what they were.In the end, I suppressed my curiosity and went to meditate to consolidate my realm.
Di Xin and the important ministers in the court discussed the matter of Dongyi for a day, but they only decided on a strategy to conquer Dongyi.It is the strategy of using troops gently, slowly encroaching, and assimilating as Lin Xi mentioned before.Originally, the large army preparing for the Eastern Expedition still had to march over in batches, fighting while stationing troops, and occupying an area consolidated it.
Di Xin's proposal to prohibit the capture of "savages" as slaves was opposed by courtiers.Just like what he encountered in his previous life, the nobleman turned the "savage" into a slave, which was to increase his private property.His prohibition is a hindrance to people's wealth, and his compatriot brother Wei Ziqi led the opposition.
Wei Ziqi not only opposes the prohibition of arresting "savages", but also opposes the emperor's strategy of "only using talents" to recommend talents, and believes that only nobles can be officials.
The court meeting was noisy until sunset, Di Xin held back his breath, and went back to the Zhonggong wearily.
"Zitong, these people are too stubborn. After all, it's not as easy to manage as your big scene." Although Di Xin had seen Wei Ziqi against him in his previous life, he was even more annoyed when he saw Wei Ziqi against him in this life.
"Your Majesty, this is not a matter that can be resolved in a short while. Take your time." Lin Xi paused and said, "Under the sky, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. The emperor of Yin and Shang said that the land under the jurisdiction , are all His Majesty's subjects, and the 'savage' that Wei Zi took the lead in looting is also His Majesty's subjects, and he is robbing His Majesty's property."
Di Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what Lin Xi meant.
"But the 'savages' can't be said to be my 'property', they don't obey education."
"That is to ask His Majesty to send someone to 'educate'. If you obey His Majesty's 'education', you will become a commoner. Those who disobey are also slaves of 'Your Majesty'. It is not up to the nobles to catch them everywhere."
The problem of slavery was very common at the end of the Shang Dynasty. If Di Xin could not solve the problem of more and more slaves, his regime would not have enough popular support.
"Perhaps by restricting the rights of the nobles, the generation of slaves can be reduced." The small tribes attached to the nobles of the big tribes are actually slaves in disguise.The tribal owners of those big tribes, when they were entrusted to the princes at the beginning of Chengtang, they regarded the small tribes in the area they were allocated as property.
Difficult, difficult! For 500 years, it has been used as property in his own pocket, and now it is going to be taken away by the emperor, so how can it not arouse the opposition of the nobles.
Di Xin rubbed the center of his brows. When he returned from the conquest of Xiqi, those talents he brought back have been gradually released to suitable positions in the past six months.He didn't know how many other talents like this were lost among the slaves, struggling for food and clothing.
"Zitong, let's put this question aside for now and discuss it tomorrow. I heard that Jiejiao Biyou Palace sent people to give gifts, and Nuwa Palace also sent people to give gifts." Di Xin was a little tired.
"Here, those three are." Lin Xi pointed to the Qiankun bag on the table.
"What kind of good things are they? Intercepting education has taken advantage of it. If you don't send some good things, it won't be justified."
Di Xin, who was taken by Lin Xi, also began to pay attention to things outside of him.
"I haven't opened it yet. Your Majesty can help me take a look first?" Lin Xi smiled and asked Di Xin to read it first.
"it is good."
Di Xin focused his consciousness on the Qiankun bag, looked at it for a while, then untied the Qiankun bag in the middle, and took out a bead the size of a baby's fist.
Di Xin took the orb in his hand, twirled the bead and thought about a stick of incense, Fang said, "Zi Tong, this may be a water-repellent bead obtained from the dragon clan of the East China Sea. It seems that the bead should be the eye of a dragon."
"This bead is useful to you, try it sometime. I want to keep it well."
As he spoke, he handed the beads to Lin Xi, picked up another cosmic bag, and took out a phoenix crown from it. It was exquisitely crafted, inlaid with various gemstones, dazzling, and looked like a fairy.
Lin Xi took the heavy jeweled phoenix crown, and said with a smile: "If you wear it on your head for a long time, it will break your neck. I guess this should be sent by Nuwa Palace."
Di Xin nodded. It is very possible that this phoenix crown looks good, but it is actually useless to cultivators.
"It looks pretty. Zitong will look great if you bring it with you. There is no such exquisite thing in the palace."
Lin Xi shook her head with a smile, and put it back on the table in noncommittal.
From the last Qiankun bag, he took out a dagger, with a leather scabbard, plain and simple.Di Xin drew out his dagger, which was dull and dull, as if it hadn't been sharpened.With a little mana injected, the short sword grew several times in an instant.
"Zitong, this is a good thing. It's best for you to keep it for self-defense."
Lin Xi also liked the dagger when she saw it, and took it from Di Xin with a smile. Following Di Xin's appearance, she poured mana into it, and the blade immediately grew, and the sword glow shot out instantly.
"It's really a good thing. I don't know what level of treasure this fairy sword is."
"The ones sent by the leader of Jiejiao will not be ordinary. Lin Xi, you said, how about I make an extra copy of "Fengshen Yanyi" and give it to the leader of Tongtian who is Jiejiao?"
Lin Xi thought about it and said, "The Master Tongtian, who cuts off the religion, knows about the matter of conferring the gods. I'm afraid that after he reads "Fengshen Yanyi", he will know that his disciples and the believers who cut off the religion have been basically killed. Unwilling to have such an ending, on the contrary, I will provoke the battle with the teaching of interpretation first.”
"Isn't that very good? Intercepting the teachings is powerful and there are many teachings. They are prepared to find troubles for explaining the teachings, so that I can avenge my revenge for being played by the gods."
As Di Xin spoke, he began to imagine how to persuade Master Tongtian to kill those disciples of Chanjiao.
"There is also the Chang-eared Dingguang Immortal who betrayed the Jujiao. It would be good for the Master Tongtian to guard against him."
"Your Majesty, there is another key point. If there is no killing, then the twelve disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun in Kunlun Mountain will not be able to take their positions, and Yuanshi Tianzun will not be able to resume lectures. The number of disciples who explain the teachings will not increase. Yo, there are not many people under his command. Your Majesty has already broken the killing between Xiqi and the merchants. There is no possibility of conferring gods, so it is not easy to give those people in Kunlun Mountain a chance. Even the conquest of barbarians should be avoided as much as possible Large-scale wars, lest those who explain the teachings get mixed in and take the opportunity to complete the necessary calamities, Yuan Shitian respects the opening of the lectures, so that his twelve disciples can continue to practice."
Di Xin thought for a while, and struggled for a long time between encouraging the leader of Tongtian to come forward and explaining the possibility of seizing the opportunity to complete the killing.
"Lin Xi, did you say Chan would help Dongyi?"
"It's hard to say. Without Xiqi, if Dongyi is willing to take Xiqi's role, His Majesty will be in trouble. After all, merchants used to be considered as a branch of Dongyi."
Di Xin frowned and fell into deep thought. There are a lot of Dongyi people, and the harassment over the years has been annoying and hard to guard against.How to silently eliminate the killing and robbery, without giving the opportunity to explain and teach, is really something that needs to be carefully considered.
