"En! " That's right. Continue to work hard. After you become the king, you should try to bring out the knowledge that I have taught you.”Zheng Lei said.
"Yes, teacher." Di Xing said excitedly.
Being appointed as the Crown Prince meant that he had a high chance of becoming the ruler of Great Shang in the future.
And this position was the position that the three brothers had dreamed of reaching. Now, he was one step ahead of them…
"Young Master! The palace's chamberlain sent a message. He said that His Majesty invited you to the palace."
Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Zheng Lei had just finished cultivating when Butler Qingyao rushed in.
"Hmm?"
Zheng Lei was a little puzzled. Why did Diyi want him to go to the palace? Although he was the state preceptor, the number of times he went to the palace could be counted on one hand.
However, as an immortal, he already had simple divination skills. He pinched his fingers and immediately calculated that Diyi's lifespan was over and he would ride a crane to the west today.
After all, when Di Yi met him, he was already in his forties. Now, ten years had passed, and Di Yi was already over fifty years old.
In ancient times, people who were below the average age were considered to have lived a long life.
"Prepare the carriage! Head to the Thearch Palace." Zheng Lei instructed Qingyao.
"Yes, Young Master." Qingyao agreed and went out to prepare.
By the time Zheng Lei walked out of the manor, a large carriage pulled by four fine horses was already waiting at the entrance of Jun Xian Manor.
Great Shang had strict rules regarding the horses that were pulled by the palace. The king, who was also the monarch, had five horses. The Imperial Preceptor, the three dukes, and the princes all had four horses. The officials at the bottom level had three horses, followed by two horses and one horse.
When Zheng Lei arrived at Di Yi's bedroom, he realized that many officials were waiting outside.
"The king invites the state preceptor in!"
There were already servants waiting at the door. When they saw Zheng Lei arrive, they shouted.
Zheng Lei followed the chamberlain into Di Yi's bedroom and found that the palace was filled with imperial physicians and busy chamberlains.
In front of Diyi's bed, the three Diyi brothers were kneeling with gloomy expressions.
"Wuuu…Wuuu…Wuuu!”
Lying on the bed, the white-haired Diyi's face was deathly pale. When he saw Zheng Lei, his expression became excited. He wanted to say something, but his face was filled with pain and he couldn't say anything.
"Preceptor! Last night, the king suddenly fell ill! Under the circumstances, he couldn't even speak.”
At this moment, an imperial physician walked over and explained to Zheng Lei.
In the past ten years, Zheng Lei had not done anything out of line. Not only did he teach the three princes in peace, but he had also shown his mystical abilities several times. Now, all the officials of the Great Shang Dynasty recognized the existence of Zheng Lei, the State Preceptor.
"Go, give this pill to the king.”
A palm-sized green and white jade bottle suddenly appeared in Zheng Lei's hand. Zheng Lei took out a jade-white pill from the jade bottle. It was the size of a finger and had a strange fragrance. He handed it to the imperial physician.
This was a Tier 2 immortal pill that Zheng Lei had just concocted. It was called the Life Recovery Pill, and it had the miraculous effect of resurrecting a person and bringing flesh to bones.
However, even the Life Recovery Pill, which was regarded as a priceless treasure by cultivators, could only protect Di Yi for a few more days. This was because Di Yi was a Renhuang, the source of all tribulations, and was taboo by the Heavenly Dao. Anything related to the Immortal Dao had little effect on Renhuang.
Over the years, Zheng Lei had also shown his skills in pill concoction. The spirit pills that Zheng Lei gave almost cured his illness, so no one suspected that there was something wrong with the pills. The imperial physician immediately caught the pills and ordered the servants to bring some water for Diyi to consume.
Not long after taking it, Diyi, who had been pale and could not even speak clearly, suddenly blushed and his body regained strength. He spoke clearly, but his voice was hoarse."Help me up."
Di Xing reacted quickly and stood up from the ground, helping Di Yi up from the bed.
Seeing Di Xing's quick reaction, Diyi could not help but nod his head, sighing that he had made the right choice in choosing the Crown Prince.
"Sir! How many days do I have left?" Di Yi asked Zheng Lei as he leaned against the bed.
"About three to five days!" Zheng Lei said with mixed emotions.”
"Three to five days is enough!" Di Yi muttered to himself.”
Then, Diyi looked at Zheng Lei, his eyes flashing with a dazzling light.""Sir! Do you know what the best thing I've done in my life is?”
"What is it?" Zheng Lei asked with interest.”
"Yes, sir!" Di Yi said. Persuade Teacher to be willing to become our Great Shang Imperial Preceptor. I, Di Yi, attacked Dongyi first and then the human side, but none of them were as important as inviting you back.”
Zheng Lei shook his head when he saw how important Di Yi was to him.""Your Majesty, you think too highly of me.”
"It's not heavy, it's not heavy," Di Yi said. Not to mention that you are an immortal who knows alchemy and has saved my life several times, just the knowledge of governing the world that you gave to Di Xing is enough to deserve such an evaluation.”
"Sir! I don't have much time left. I don't know if I can climb up and call you brother.”
All these years, Zheng Lei had watched Emperor Yi treat the people under his rule with virtue, but he personally led the army to fight against the enemy country. This was very in line with Zheng Lei's policy of governing the country with tyranny as the main and the king path as the supplement.
"Of course." Zheng Lei nodded.”
Seeing Zheng Lei agree, Di Yi smiled and said," I know that you are an immortal and are much older than me. Therefore, you should be the elder brother and I should be the younger brother." What do you think?"
Zheng Lei nodded.
It could be considered as an agreement.
However, even if Diyi had a whimsical idea and wanted to be his elder brother, Zheng Lei would not agree. The Great Yu who had left his name in history was awesome enough, right? He was still his underling.
Diyi looked at his three sons who were kneeling on the ground."You must have heard it? Hurry up and call for help!"
"Uncle Wang!"
"Uncle Wang!"
"Uncle Wang!"
Seeing that their father actually wanted them to call a young man who looked almost the same age as them Uncle Wang, the three of them couldn't help but grimace.
Among them, Di Xing was the fastest to adapt and address him as Uncle Wang. After all, he truly acknowledged Zheng Lei as his teacher, so it was fine for him to address him as Uncle Wang.
Then, it was the stupid Wei Zhongyan.
The last one was Wei Ziqi, who couldn't stand Zheng Lei.
Diyi was a little disappointed by Wei Zhongyan and Wei Ziqi's reaction, but he thought about how they wouldn't be the ones in charge of the country in the future, so he thought it through.
Diyi clasped his hands together and said," Elder brother, I will hand the fortune of the emperor and Great Shang to you in the future.”
Zheng Lei hesitated for a moment before nodding and promising,""Don't worry, I'll help take care of him.”
This promise should not be underestimated. If Zheng Lei could still cut ties with Great Shang before the God Deification War, then after making this promise, Zheng Lei had already tied his own luck with Great Shang's luck.
Just now, he was also hesitant whether he should agree to Di Yi's request. However, at the last moment, after agreeing, Zheng Lei's heart calmed down.
He had stayed in Great Shang for ten years and at least felt that this country was not bad. The ruler was a wise ruler and the country was a good country.
Since that was the case, so what if it was the immortals, buddhas, saints, and the Heavenly Dao?
He would protect this country!
Without his consent, no one could shake the foundation of this country.
