"King Zhou's Hidden Brick"
This was a new story in Zhaoge.
It was mainly about King Zhou's visit to his beloved concubine, Daji. The two of them hugged each other. Daji asked, Why was there a red brick of extremely poor quality hidden at the king's waist?，King Zhou replied,"This is a gift from heaven. The gods have sent me a message to cherish it more and not lose it." Daji asked again, If that was the case, why didn't he hide the red brick? Instead, he carried it around his waist. Wasn't it too tacky for a king to carry a red brick around his waist without any gold, silver, jade, or silk? King Zhou replied,"The common people in the world never despise dirty clothes when farming every day, let alone poor families and ugly mothers. I only carry a brick with me. What's so tacky about it?" Daji immediately bowed and apologized to King Zhou.
The story spread like wildfire in Zhaoge, and the people of Zhaoge were deeply gratified. What a good king!
Although the commoners were extremely happy, the ministers who knew King Zhou's character scoffed.
In the Grand Preceptor Residence, a black-haired, old-fashioned old man with wrinkled skin was laughing loudly.
This person was Grand Preceptor Wen! He was the minister of the Shang Dynasty.
Grand Preceptor Wen laughed and shook his head. He said in a questioning tone,""If Your Majesty could understand the sufferings of the people, why would you indulge in wine and women, ignore political affairs, and even build a palace and Deer Terrace! When the court meets in the future, I will definitely ask the king.”
In this world, only Grand Preceptor Wen dared to speak bluntly about King Zhou without fear.
Although Bi Gan was King Zhou's uncle, he did not have a good impression of King Zhou. He was even a little disappointed.
At this moment, he was on a distant mountain peak. At a glance, he could see the dark clouds covering the sky. Although there was no lightning or thunder, nor was there any rain, it was extremely dark.
"If Your Majesty is concerned about the suffering of the dawn, that is naturally good. I am afraid that this matter is a piece of confusing news from the palace.”Bi Gan smiled bitterly and sighed.
Although he said it vaguely, he did not believe King Zhou or this story.
"Looking at the sky, Great Shang is in danger.”Bi Gan's expression was somewhat disappointed.
At this moment, Bi Gan's heart suddenly beat faster. He had the Seven Skills Exquisite Heart, which was a gift from the heavens. He was born with an abnormal ability and possessed extraordinary abilities.
"Why is there a powerful light that wants to break through the encirclement in this sky full of dark clouds? Why was this? Could it be that Great Shang had a benefactor helping them? That's right, how could our hundreds of years of foundation be destroyed in a day and night? "Bi Gan suddenly said in ecstasy.
….
Liu An summoned Wang Fugui and learned about the recent changes in the Shang Dynasty from him. Although Wang Fugui was puzzled, he told Liu An everything.
Only now did Liu An realize that this World of Gods was very different from his previous life. First of all, Daji was not dead. Empress Jiang would not be forced to dig out her eyes, Uncle Mei would not be branded, Prime Minister Shang Rong would not retire, and Marquis Dong Bo would not rebel!
King Zhou's writing of obscene poems for Nüwa was the fuse. Since then, the world has changed greatly.
The biggest change was Marquis of the West, Ji Chang!
It was rumored that Marquis of the West was well-loved by the people and was praised by the outside world. Two years ago, he led an army to rebel in the name of King Zhou's fatuity, blasphemy against the gods, and causing resentment among the people.
Several years had passed. Because King Zhou was arrogant and didn't take the rebellion of Xiqi seriously, Xiqi had become more and more powerful and threatened the foundation of the Shang Dynasty!
It was precisely because Xiqi's wings were gradually growing and he had beaten the generals of Great Shang to a pulp that Grand Preceptor Wen came to see King Zhou.
"The situation is much better than I imagined.”Liu An let out a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, Xiqi's army is pressing on our border. They even want to join forces with Dongyi to attack Zhaoge.”Wang Fugui dared to mock him.
It was precisely because Liu An seemed to be in a good mood today and was chatting with a eunuch that Wang Fugui had the courage to take the initiative to speak. Otherwise, if it were the previous King Zhou, he would not have dared to speak out loud even if he had a hundred guts!
"Right now, Xi Qi is not strong enough to shake the foundation of our Shang Dynasty. Just wait and see how I will settle this mess.”Liu An said with certainty.
Compared to his previous life, the Shang Dynasty was much better. At least King Zhou was not deserted and the imperial court was stable. Although there were many criticisms from the civil and military officials, it was still under control. Liu An only needed to stabilize Chaoge and not do any more shocking disasters, and he would be able to sit firmly on Mount Tai.
Court assembly!
The civil and military officials all took their positions, Great Shang was still filled with talents!
Grand Preceptor Wen, Shang Rong, Bigan, Huang Feihu…All the officials were gathered. Someone asked, why was Li Jing not here?
As the commander of Chentang Pass, Li Jing had to guard the city pass. Compared to Grand Preceptor Wen and Shang Rong, he was not a top-level official. He was also a dispensable figure in such a meeting.
The officials had different expressions. Grand Preceptor Wen was calm and steady in the front row. Shang Rong was discussing with Bi Gan in a low voice. Huang Feihu looked extraordinary and stood there calmly.
Everyone was waiting for one person, King Zhou and Liu An…
Liu An was walking over! At this moment, he was a little nervous.
"Is he finally going to step onto the stage of history? The plot of I Am King Zhou in the Investiture of the Gods officially begins. How am I going to deal with the questions of those old foxes?”
Liu An's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. With a shout, Liu An knew that there was no time to consider.
"The king has arrived!"
As a eunuch shouted, the pomfret family led the eunuchs over.
Liu An swept his gaze across the crowd, and all the faces with different appearances came into view. A powerful force swept over, shocking everyone. However, just as it was about to reach Liu An's side, it was blocked by a magical force.
Liu An stroked his pants slightly and sat on the throne naturally. He immediately realized that he had become different. Even his temperament, thoughts, and spirit had changed. He was full of energy and there was an indescribable power supporting him. Was this the power of the royal family? No wonder King Zhou could sit on the river for decades with his physique. The power of the royal family alone was enough to make those who intended to rebel tremble in fear.
However, at this moment, Liu An, who was carrying a brick, did not look like an emperor at all…
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Except for Grand Preceptor Wen, Shang Rong, and the other old ministers who bowed, the other civil and military officials all knelt down in unison. The shock that Liu An felt at this moment was truly satisfying. This was a true Emperor!
"Everyone, please rise." Liu An waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The ministers stood in a row respectfully, not daring to look directly at Liu An. It was unknown who was the first to notice the brick beside Liu An, but their expressions suddenly became strange.
Was the story of King Zhou's Hidden Brick true? Although the news had already spread in the palace, the ministers still did not believe it. They decided to find an opportunity to ask.
"What do you have to report today?" Liu An took the initiative to speak as usual.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Grand Preceptor Wen stepped forward decisively.# Date:07 11 2019 7:00PM
