Fengshen Wendaoxing

"Meet the teacher!"

Jiang Ziya got up and went to the tent to greet him.

The arrival of Ran Deng lifted his spirits slightly.

They have all witnessed the power of Fan Tianyin with their own eyes, it is so powerful, except for his Xinghuang Qi and Yang Jian's Eighty-Nine Mysterious Kung Fu that can resist it, the others have nothing to do against it.

Yang Jian and others hurriedly saluted.

Ran Dengjin nodded: "That person is none other than Guang Chengzi's disciple."

"Senior brother's disciple? Then why would he use Fan Tianyin to deal with us?"

Jiang Ziya and the others were surprised when they heard this.

"Then do you know what his name is?"

Ran Deng looked at the crowd and asked.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

Ran Deng's eyes flickered: "His name is Yin Jiao."

Yinjiao?

Everyone was either groaning or stunned. Only Jiang Ziya thought for a while, and suddenly exclaimed, "What, Yin Jiao? Could it be that he is..."

Ran Deng nodded.

"Why did senior brother Guang Chengzi recruit Yin Jiao into my Chanjiao sect?"

Jiang Ziya sighed: "In this way, this is really an injustice."

"What Yinjiao, what injustice, heh, what are you guys talking about, I don't understand." Nezha was at a loss.

Jiang Ziya shook his head: "That Yinjiao is none other than the Crown Prince and His Highness of the Great Merchant, because at the beginning..."

He used to be a minister in Yin and Shang, so he is familiar with it, and now he will tell the past of the Yin Jiao brothers.

"So this Yin Jiao and that Yin Hong are brothers, or are they both princes of a great merchant?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Jiang Ziya said: "Then I would like to ask the teacher, how should Yin Jiao deal with the powerful seal of heaven?"

"The person who needs to tie the bell to untie it, the only way to break the Heavenly Seal is to find Guang Chengzi." Ran Deng's eyes flashed.

Jiang Ziya nodded: "Yang Jian, go to Jiuxian Mountain and get your master Guangchengzi to deal with Yin Jiao."

Yang Jian took the order and went out to defuse a gust of wind.

Taoist Ran Deng sat down cross-legged: "Then I just need to wait."

Before Sishui Pass.

Wen Taishi led the army to chase the enemy for thirty miles, won a big victory and conquered Jinjiling.

The coalition forces of the princes fled all the way, and finally camped at the foot of Qishan Mountain.

Wen Taishi led the army to win and returned to the pass.

Inside the Emperor Xin Palace.

Wen Zhong reported: "Qizou Your Majesty, our army has killed more than 80,000 enemy troops and captured more than 10,000 enemy troops in this battle. Please let Your Majesty know how to deal with it."

When he was speaking, he couldn't help but glanced at Lu Chuan a few times, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He also didn't know where Lu Chuan had recruited a group of powerful strange men and strangers. The fighting power was too strong, especially a giant man and a dragon and tiger monster.

Of the 80,000 people who killed the enemy this time, almost half of them were done by these two guys.

A fierce mess is like a god descending into the world, unstoppable, and a stone with both hands is like a shower of locusts.

The point is that a stone is as big as a millstone, and if it hits it, you will be killed or injured.

If it weren't for Nezha and others to stop them in the end, the record of these two people is estimated to be even more.

Although he is not super talented, he is also a cultivator. It is okay to kill qi refiners with Taoism, but killing mortals is still too harmful.

He generally doesn't attack mortals, so his record is far inferior to the two under Lu Chuan.

In the palace, Emperor Xin was high above him, listening to the report, Deng Jiugong, Zhang Kui, Han Rong and others were in the hall.

After hearing this, everyone gasped, and when they looked at each other, surprise flashed in their eyes.

Killing 80,000 enemies and capturing 10,000 prisoners, such casualties are equivalent to maiming one of the great princes of Kyushu's level!

"well done!"

After hearing this, Di Xin lifted his spirits: "Such a great victory was achieved on the first day of the battle. It is inseparable from the bravery of the soldiers to kill the enemy. The order will be sent down to reward the three armies."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wen Zhong said: "Then those captured enemy soldiers will be sent back to Chaoge as slaves for sale."

Lu Chuan moved his eyes from the side. The current slavery system is like this. Slavery has existed since the ancient tribal era.

Then, after hundreds of years of development of the Xia Dynasty, today's Great Shang Dynasty is in the heyday of slavery.

The slave-owner aristocracy is the ruling class, forming a huge bureaucratic governing body and army, subject to the rule of the Shang king, and ruling the lower class civilians and slaves.

After these captured enemy soldiers are sent back to Chaoge, they will be sold openly like goods, and nobles or rich people will buy them and become private property and be enslaved.

However, the status of slaves is lower than that of servants, almost like cattle and sheep, and will be used in various aspects such as production and sacrificial burial.

The money from the slave trade will be filled into the treasury, and the private property of slaves is still protected by the current law.

Di Xin pondered for a moment, then waved his hands: "There is no rush, let's wait two days!"

Wen Zhong was startled, and nodded.

Di Xin waved his hand: "You step back first, and prepare to reward the three armies. Lu Qing, you stay here. I have one thing I want to discuss with you."

Lu Chuan was slightly stunned and said: "Yes!"

Everyone also said yes, and retreated from the palace.

For a while, only Lu Chuan and Di Xin were left in the palace.

Lu Chuan tentatively asked: "Your Majesty wants to discuss with your ministers how to deal with the princes?"

"Not this, but another."

Di Xin said seriously: "Lu Qing, I'm just asking you, what do you think of these slaves...?"

"What do you think?" Lu Chuan's eyes flickered.

Having been with Di Xin for a long time, he knew that Di Xin would definitely not ask this for no reason.

Di Xin stood up, walked to the gate of the palace and looked at the sky outside: "It's because you think slavery..."

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to move... slavery?" Lu Chuan suddenly answered.

Legend has it that in the official history, this guy wanted to liberate slavery, so he carried out a reform and liberated the slaves.

It's just that at that time, the Western Zhou Dynasty was gradually prospering, and he always fought against the Dongyi tribe, resorting to military force, and finally in the Battle of Muye, the slaves liberated by him betrayed and lost to the Western Zhou Dynasty together with the nobles.

In fact, thinking about his failure is inevitable.

It is not difficult to understand that slavery has existed for too long, from the ancient tribes to the Xia Dynasty, I do not know how many years.

During these times, slaves have long been cultivated with servility, rooted in their hearts and blood.

This is like a bird that has been kept in a cage since childhood.

Its owner feeds it every day, but when you let it fly away one day, it may not come out.

Because it has adapted to life in a cage, it doesn't know what freedom is, let alone survive in a free world.

The same is true for Di Xin's reform.

The shackles on slaves are easy to remove, but the servility rooted in the heart is hard to remove, and it cannot be done overnight.

It was useless for Di Xin to untie the shackles on them. They were better adapted to the life of slaves, so the Western Zhou Dynasty continued to use slavery for a long time after the Great Shang Dynasty.

On the other hand, these slaves also belonged to the private property of those nobles. Would they be willing to use their interests?

Internal conflicts intensified, and their betrayal became inevitable.

Di Xin was startled, then smiled again, looked at the sky and said lonelyly: "Gu knows it, you are the only one who understands Gu best in this world."

Lu Chuan scratched his head.

Wait, I just said that if you want to start slavery, you understand you?

Seeing his appearance, Di Xin smiled and said, "Only you can know what Gu is going to say after listening to the first half of his sentence, the others, heh!"

He smiled dismissively.

Lu Chuan was speechless, but it was true. In this world, the royal family and nobles, the common people and slaves have adapted to the pyramid-like slavery system.

So who would have thought that a person at the top of the pyramid was thinking about freeing the slaves at the bottom?

This is the foundation of the Shang Dynasty's rule.

Anyone in this world can start slavery, except Di Xin.

Because he himself is the biggest beneficiary of this system and the man at the top of the pyramid.

As for his vision of Lu Chuan, it is much higher than this slavery system, so there is no taboo.

Di Xin said: "In ancient times, alien races enslaved the human race, and demons oppressed the human race, but now it's human beings themselves enslaving and oppressing the same race. Oh, don't you think this is ridiculous?"

Lu Chuan didn't say anything about it.

These words are nice to hear, but they are by no means Di Xin's original intention.

Di Xin had no choice but to say again: "Look at the hereditary officials and generals in the court, which one has real skills? On the contrary, they are real talents. For example, Yi Yin, the lonely ancestor Cheng Tang met, was born as a slave. For example, Lu Qing, you... "

Lu Chuan coughed dryly.

My father wasn't a slave before, he was just a servant, and everyone was just eating!

"It has been 600 years since the founding of Dashang. It is like growing into a big tree, but now the roots of the tree have rotted a lot. Those hereditary officials are so incompetent. You can only count on them to govern the country. Bang?" Di Xin said.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly.

This is impossible without even thinking about it. Di Xin's abolition of slavery was also for the sake of big business.

Those hereditary officials are different from those selected by Emperor Xin. They rely on their own abilities, while those people rely on their ancestors.

Their ancestors were also from grassroots background. They were capable and followed the right people, conquered the world with Cheng Tang, or made great contributions to the big merchants, so their descendants can always inherit the titles, fiefdoms and official positions.

As a result, the inside of Dashang is indeed like Di Xin said, the roots of a big tree are rotten and rotten.

There are still Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu, and a group of people promoted by Emperor Xin to support them, but not too many, otherwise the conflict will be intensified and the nobles will be dissatisfied.

Without these people, Dashang would be able to perish by itself without elaborating and teaching.

Every dynasty, from its birth, will grow up a little bit like a human being, grow old, and finally enter the grave.

And on his grave, another dynasty will rise.

Di Xin looked at Lu Chuan: "The roots of the big tree are rotten. If you don't make changes and fight to the death, then it's only a matter of time before you die..."

Lu Chuan continued to nod.

Di Xin's expression darkened: "Can you stop nodding all the time? Just say whether Gu's reform is feasible?"

Lu Chuan nodded habitually, then quickly shook his head.

Di Xin: "..."

Seeing that Di Xin's face darkened, Lu Chuan hurriedly said: "It is possible to do it, but not now. Now that the fortunes of the big merchants and the country are unstable, they cannot support reform at all."

The reform must be combined with reality. Now that the big merchants are changing, the nobles will be forced to go to the princes. The key point is that the slaves are also unreliable.

They may long for freedom, but the slavishness and fear of the nobility run deep in their hearts, and they are counted on to...

Oh, in the official history, Emperor Xin was not wronged.

"This is also the last fight that Gu will make when he has to, but it seems that we have not reached that step yet."

Today's victory made Di Xin a little excited, and shook his head again: "It's just that I don't have time to complete this important event that is beneficial to the human race."

Lu Chuan said: "Then..."

Di Xin said earnestly: "Then I will entrust this task to you, Lu Qing."

Lu Chuan's expression froze: "???"

I just want to say that, let’s just forget about it, and I don’t want to spend so much energy doing it.

But what do you mean by giving me?

"Lu Qing, you are the person who understands loneliness best when I meet him."

Di Xin looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, feeling a little lost and said, "I have two great ambitions in this life, the first is to unify Kyushu, and the second is this matter."

Although the starting point is the big business, but they have made great contributions to the human race, but now I can only entrust you, a confidant. "

Lu Chuan petrified a little bit.

One becomes two?

Boss, we don't bring such fun, is it easy for me to do so many things with your salary.

Suddenly Lu Chuan looked at the lonely figure, was slightly startled and then fell silent.

Di Xin had great ambitions, but he took over a mess and caused many murders later.

In Lu Chuan's eyes, this guy with blood on his hands is definitely not a good person.

It's just that he also has a convincing temperament, and I don't know if it's because of his qi control effect, but as a man, seeing him face death so calmly, Lu Chuan admires him.

At least he can be regarded as a real man who dares to act.

Whether it's the calmness in the face of death this time, or the peaceful self-immolation in the Zhaixing Building in order to preserve the dignity of the emperor, it can be seen.

Di Xin turned around suddenly, and said with a lonely and lonely smile: "Forget it, even Gu didn't do it, and I didn't ask to put it on you."

"No!"

Lu Chuan looked at it and bowed seriously: "Minister, obey!"

In this era, if you want to free the slaves, you can imagine that no one except him can understand Di Xin.

It was destined to be a kind of loneliness that no one understood, but the future proved that Dixin was right, and slavery disappeared.

This is a big step forward for the human race.

Regardless of whether Di Xin's original intention of this move is for the great merchants or the human race, the human race will also benefit in the end.

As long as he, Lu, doesn't die this time, and the great business is not destroyed, then why not do something for the human race?

As for dying, don't worry about it.

Di Xin grabbed Lu Chuan's arms with some emotion, and said, "Since this is the case, Lu Qing, then I will tell Lu Qing a secret that the royal family has guarded for generations."

Master Lu was about to cry right now.

But not touched: "Your Majesty, forget about such an important secret, and tell His Highness Wu Geng as well."

His intuition told him that the secret that Di Xin wanted to tell was absolutely nothing good.

Di Xin didn't care whether he listened or not, and said in a deep voice: "Those alien races who were driven out of the Central Plains by the human race are not dead. They lurk in the dangerous mountains and rivers, all over China, and they will return one day sooner or later. Remember, the Kyushu is unified. It must be done."

Lu Chuan: "..."

Your Majesty, I am tired!

...

After Yang Jian left for half a day, he returned to Xiqi Camp in the evening.

When he came, he was accompanied by Guang Chengzi.

As soon as he entered, Guang Chengzi sighed and said: "It's strange that the poor Taoist doesn't know people well, so he gave him all the treasures in the cave. How could Yin Jiao change his mind and cause today's disaster, which is the crime of the poor Taoist!"

Everyone quickly relieved.

Jiang Ziya said: "Brother, you don't have to worry about it. It's just that Yinjiao has the Fantian Seal in his hand and no one can beat him. I ask you to teach me how to surrender."

Guang Chengzi said: "Forget it, I will go out to find this little bastard tomorrow morning, and I will meet him, since this matter is caused by me, I will give an explanation to Junior Brother Ziya."

"So good!"

A ray of light flashed in the eyes of Taoist Ran Deng.

In the evening, Emperor Xin had a big banquet to reward the three armies, and the Sishui Pass was very lively.

When Lu Chuan returned to the other courtyard, he suddenly saw Yin Jiao looking up at the moon sadly.
