The seventy-eighth emperor of the Shang Dynasty, the end of the second year of the first year
By mid-October, although the sky was getting colder, the locust plague was still fierce, ravaging the countryside in the prefectures, but a large number of young and strong men were released back to their hometowns and finally collected some of the food, but they could only use the people and the military rations were completely gone.
But strangely, there were few locusts in the two prefectures of Jibing and Bing, and most of the autumn grains were harvested. The locusts seemed to be raging only in the Central Plains of Henan, and they were tossing back and forth.
The worst of these is that the former Shang Kingdom territory around Bodu was not only unrecovered, but even the grass and trees in the mountains were eaten by locusts. Fortunately, the Fangfeng family in Jiangdong transported grain to provide assistance. Otherwise, the surrounding people would have almost changed their children and eaten. This is how Shang Tang also changed from the richest princes to the poor.
On October 16th, Qihou and the more than 30 kingdoms of Guanzhong first entered Yang from the Wei River to persuade Cheng Tang. Cheng Tang refused to accept it. The next day, the princes of Jizhou crossed south and gathered in Bodu. Then the Chujiang clan and Fangfeng clan all gathered in Bodu.
More than 30 princes including Taikang from Shandong also gathered in Bodu. Then, Zhang Jia, who was heading for Yunzhong in Bingzhou, divorced and persuaded him to go forward. More than 30 princes of Henan Road personally built ceremonies to Yangqu to welcome Shang Hou.
Cheng Tang could not refuse this time and was forced to be welcomed to Bodu by the princes, leaving only the right prime minister Yi Yin to stay in Yangqu, Ji Yu and others to accompany him.
The whole way was beaten and beaten, and the drums were loud. The people along the way were knelt down to the emperor, and walked by land to the Wuguan River and took a boat down the Yellow River. They walked for seven days and entered Bo at noon on the 24th.
The capital of Bo gathered hundreds of princes of all sizes. The left-behind Zuo Zheng Zhongxian had already arranged it and set up an altar in the west of the city to the palace of Bodu.
Hundreds of princes knelt in the hall, and worshiped the king with great gifts. They persuaded Cheng Tang to enter. Cheng Tang said three words and three times. Cheng Tang first said that Xiqi's head defeated Yang Qu and expelled Xia, and he should be the common ruler of the princes. Qihou hurriedly choked on his head and knocked it out, indicating that Cheng Tang was the true master. He should sit in the world as the common ruler, and persuade the princes to advance again.
Cheng Tang refuted again, saying that Taikang's first counter-Shan Xia, and his ancestor Houyi also had great virtues. He gave way to Lubo, and Lubo also bowed to the ground to show his surrender to Shang Tang. Lubo did not hesitate to say, "My Taikang was originally a descendant of Dongyi, and only factors admired the Central Plains civilization, so he transformed into Xia. How could he use barbarians to rule the world? He also asked Shang to be the emperor, and our Dongyi tribes will always be the Pingfan of Shang."
Then Cheng Tang gave way to the Chujiang clan E Yunlu, and the Jizhou Hou Chongwenli. Both of them refused. They said three times and three times to tease each other. Everyone shouted long live. There was a historian on the side that Cheng Tang had good deeds, and said three times and three times, and the princes forced Cheng Tang to take the throne.
Seeing that the historian had recorded the documents, Cheng Tang finally responded to the request of the princes and was supported by the princes to sit down. Hundreds of princes squeezed them all over the place. They bowed to the ground again and bowed their heads for three rounds, and shouted loudly for the mountain to live.
More than 100,000 Guizhou heads in the city also yelled loudly, Cheng Tang, long live... Long live, the sound of praise and cheers resounded throughout the sky.
Then the emperor and the princes moved west of the city to worship the sky. The altar had been set up, and all the people outside followed and watched, crowding the crowds of people in the west of the city. Cheng Tang raised his hand and the whole scene suddenly became silent. Tens of thousands of people knelt on the emperor.
Because Ji Yu could write a jade book on Zifu, Ji Yu was the presidency of the sacrifice. Cheng Tang slowly climbed the bluestone steps amid the cheers of countless princes and officials, and stood on the nine-meter-high platform.
On the altar, there are ancient god tablets such as Wa Emperor, Houtu, Gonggong, Zhurong, etc., and on both sides, the Suiren clan, and the Chao clan and other ancestors. The center is for the three emperors of the heaven, Emperor, Emperor of the Heaven, Emperor of the Earth, and Emperor of the Human Emperor. The top of the emperor is the present Emperor of Heaven, and the title is: the general of the heavens and all worlds, the saints and gods in the sky.
Ji Yu used the Zifu Talisman to use golden silk and bamboo slips, calligraphy, painting, bird Talisman and insect text, words:
There is currently a native of Bodu, the lower realm, the surname is Lu and the name is Cheng Tang, and he was elected by all spirits in the lower realm, honored as the king of the king of the king of the country, respected by the Emperor Haotian and the saints of the past, asked God to give blessings, enjoy the worship of the Shang Dynasty for all generations, and ensure peace for all generations of the Shang Dynasty, begging God to be kind and take back the pests and plagues, and the weather is good. The descendants of Cheng Tang will respect God for generations...——The king of the lower realm, Cheng Tang, prays to worship the god king of the upper realm...
Ji Yu recited and nodded to Cheng Tang. Cheng Tang lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the ground. Ji Yu also worshiped the god three times and threw the golden silk bamboo slips into the cauldron.
The flames in the cauldron burned the bamboo slips to ashes in a moment. Cheng Tang prayed silently for a while. Just as he got up, a thunderclap in the clear sky scared everyone.
In a moment, the fire in the cauldron was so strong that the cloudy clouds that were originally cloudy dissipated instantly. Thunder in the sky resounded, but no rain fell. After a while, the clear sky appeared and all the clouds disappeared completely.
A beam of sunlight slowly shone, Cheng Tang on the high platform looked like a heavenly being, with golden light scattered all over his body. The princes of the people quickly knelt down and bowed. Only Cheng Tang murmured, "I feel it, it is the God of Haotian, the Sun is the Emperor of Ancient Heaven, Taiyi, the Emperor of Ancient Heaven, and the Emperor of Nuwa in the sky, they are all talking to Gu... But Gu can't hear it clearly..."
The voice was very small. If Ji Yu hadn't stood beside him and heard Cheng Tang whisper, he would have really not known that the sage had descended. After a while, Cheng Tang stood up happily and announced the first edict, "The palace of the Emperor Wa, the palace of the Emperor of Heaven and the palace of the ancient saints were set up to worship it."
After the craftsman made the order, he saw everyone confused Cheng Tang smiled and said, "I have spoken in heaven and said that the locust plague is not afraid of worrying. It is caused by the remnants of demons outside the world. God will condemn the gods and conquering the gods and immortals. There will be a result within three days. God regards me as the master of all things in the world. He wants me to govern the country well, and dare not slacke in civil and military affairs. He will open up the wisdom of the people and rest the people, admire the Tao, respect the truth of the saints, and wait for me to bring blessings down a hundred years later..."
All the civil and military officials were very happy and cheered to welcome Cheng Tang back to the palace. Then there was no military man or other people. After discussion, the civil officials and wise men would have deposed the current year of the 25th year of Xia Ji Sikui. After a few months, they directly changed to the end of the first year of Cheng Tang, Emperor Shang.
The news of the emperor of Chengtang was spread throughout the world as the princes returned to the country. The common people praised the merits. The princes and nobles changed their flags and banners. The civil residences changed the country's name and year number. The army's orders were even more important in the first year of Chengtang in Shang Dynasty, and the reign of the Si Kui's name was abolished one after another.
There is no need to mention the banquet and celebration of the founding of the country in Bodu. The Queen of Xia, who was drowning with Zhang Jia in Bingzhou, was so angry that she slapped the table and cursed:
"Chengtang Dog Thief is shameless. His ancestor son Qiben is a man of a man. Xuanniao family was blessed by the grace of the Xia Dynasty in the past. He was trusted by the Xia Dynasty in all generations. He was crowned Shang Bohou and ruled the princes of Henan. Even his ancestors were respectful to me and offered sacrifices every year. Shi Kui was also a virtuous king.
But he gave birth to such an ambitious son Lu, not only secretly joining the princes, but also inciting the princes to rebel and expel me from Yangqu, but now he has to deprive me of the emperor. He really doesn't want to be a son of man. His son Lu is not as good as a king and father.
Seeing that Si Kui ignored the image of the emperor and cursed wildly, Li Wu said in his heart, "Sure enough, Cheng Tang has ascended the position of the emperor without caring about his face. Then Si Kui, the abandoned emperor, is useless, but the Lishu of Bingzhou is still submissive. Our troops are still useful in stalking him in the hands of Zhuxia Zheng Zhan..."
Li Wu was planning in his heart, and seeing Si Kui jumping his feet and cursing, the old man smiled and comforted him, "Don't be angry, Cheng Tang is just stealing the emperor. On behalf of the old minister, he wiped out Zhang Jia, and all the cavalry troops crossed the river and destroyed Shang, and took back the Central Plains for the emperor."
Seeing that Li Wu and the leaders of the Jiuyi tribes looked like loyal ministers, Si Kui was a little relaxed and thanked everyone, she said she was tired and went to the Hou Court to rest first.
As soon as Si Kui left, the leaders of the Jiuyi tribes cursed in a low voice, "What a bullshit emperor, he is such a waste, even the ancestors passed down to Cheng Tang."
"Just... I was so scared that I was trembling when I was fighting. Zhang Jia's army was at the city. He still had the intention to go to the harem to have fun. This kind of waste is worthy of enjoying this beautiful country... I bah..."
Li Wu also smiled and stopped everyone's words, and his face turned gloomy and said, "Send someone to replace the palace guards with ours, take strict care of Si Kui, and only let him be the emperor of his harem. He is not allowed to contact the court officials when leaving the palace. He dragged all the useless and stubborn Xia Dynasty doctors to bury them alive. The matter has been eliminated. We will take full control of Bingzhou first."
Seeing everyone responding, Li Wu stood up and looked at Zhang Jia's army outside the camp, with a dark face and sneered, "It seems that the locust plague is not helpful. You will go to find the pure Yin Virgin Sacrifice again. I want to ask the gods and demons to possess them directly, first break through Zhang Jia, take all the Jiqing prefectures eastward, and then cross Henan and destroy Shang..."
———
A few days later, at the west altar of Anyi City, Li Wu was dancing wildly, singing spells, and then threw the blood pool of thousands of virgins in Bingzhou to boil completely, and bubbling. Li Wu shouted loudly, waved his head and staff and recited the spell wildly.
A ray of divine light flew out of the blood pool and penetrated into Li Wu's eyebrows. After a while, Li Wu opened his eyes and showed his bloody red eyes. He smiled coldly and opened his blood slightly. The blood in the blood pool turned into red lines and penetrated into Li Wu's mouth, and in a moment, he sucked a pool of blood.
Li Wu snatched a staff on the ground, grabbed two armored soldiers out of thin air, and his thin five fingers burst out with infinite force, tearing the two armored soldiers in half, and took out their hearts and lungs to eat. Li Wu took a few bites of his eyes and shouted at the surroundings, "Not enough...not enough...I'll prepare for the virgin..."
The soldiers around him were stunned when they heard this, their faces showed fear, and they rolled and crawled, and they took their orders to disperse. Li Wu put aside the two hearts and lungs in his hand, waved his staff and turned into a giant with a hundred feet of 100 feet in a moment. He had a green face and a fang. His eyes were red.
The giant took a few steps, slashed a piece of mountain top, and turned the red light into normal size. Li Wu nodded with great satisfaction, raised his staff and laughed, "Zhang Jia... This time you are dead. I want to dig your heart and eat you raw, and your tens of thousands of troops fill me into the pond for me to devour, hahaha..."
