The World of Gods, Chaoge Royal City.

The current Shang King Emperor Yi is already old and seems to have not had much time.

Although he is not a great master of his generation and cannot be called a wise ruler in the world, he is by no means an incompetent and foolish person.

He just worked diligently to do what a responsible emperor should do.

He went to court every day, read the memorials every day, pacify the ministers in the inner world, and suppressed the rebellion outside.

We strive to contribute to the storm of the great merchants, with the intention of maintaining the Tang Dynasty and passing it on safely.

He has been on the throne for twenty-six years and has done it.

At the beginning of his ascension, the national power of the Da Shang Dynasty had already declined.

During his reign, many princes in various places rebelled.

The Xiqi Ji family attacked the Da Shang Dynasty in the early days of Emperor Yi's ascension, but was defeated by Emperor Yi.

Later, the Ji family was desperate and encouraged the Kunyi tribe in Xiqi to attack the Da Shang, and was defeated by Di Yi.

After several times, I had no choice but to pay tribute to the Da Shang.

At that time, Xiqi was the most powerful prince among the eight hundred princes in the world.

Di Yi was full of fear for Xiqi.

In the following years, Di Yi built many passes between Xiqi and Chaoge to prevent the Ji family from causing chaos.

Therefore, the current seven passes including Qinglong Pass, Jiameng Pass, Tongguan gradually formed.

Due to the years of war with Xiqi, the strength of the Da Shang Dynasty was severely damaged, which led to the opportunity to grow stronger in the southern barbarians, so Emperor Yi had to send troops to quell the rebellion again.

After the rebellion of the Dongyi rebelled again and suppressed the rebellion. After this repeated, the national strength of the Da Shang Dynasty also declined in constant wars and was never restored.

The princes of all sizes have been conquering each other for years, and the war has continued to continue, with the big swallowing the small, and the small fight against the big.

This situation continued until the middle and late period of Emperor Yi's rule.

Initially, the Da Shang had more than 1,500 vassal states.

During the years of war, only the current eight hundred princes remained.

Through mutual annexation, the four largest vassal states gradually emerged, namely the four Bohous, east, west, south, and north.

At this time, the four major vassal states had become a big trend.

Di Yi had no choice but to adopt the strategy of Huairou and grant him the title of the princes in the four towns in the southeast, west and north, and to manage the world on behalf of the Da Shang.

The four town princes obtained the power, status and interests they wanted, which was constrained, and rebellions in various places were also reduced a lot.

Within their respective spheres of influence, if a small tribe rebelled, the princes of the four towns would actively suppress the rebellion by themselves.

After all, a chaotic ruling area is not in their own interests.

The Da Shang had only had a few years of stable life, but some small tribes did not obey the king's orders and also happened from time to time.

In this case, in Zishou's view, Da Shang is actually similar to a loose federal state.

The princes of all sizes in the world are equivalent to states.

Although the Shang King is respected as the emperor of the world, the princes of all regions are the real kings in their respective territories.

What happens in the territories of the princes can decide with one word, and the soldiers and generals of the princes also obey the orders of the princes.

To put it bluntly, everything in the vassal territory is actually owned by the vassals.

As long as the princes obey the royal family on the surface, pay tribute on time, and fulfill their obligations to fight with each other and defend the royal family, the Shang king has no right to interfere in the behavior of the princes.

In the past, Zishou often thought that if he ascended the throne, he would have to change this situation.

He not only wanted to destroy all the princes, but also wanted to make no princes in the world, only Da Shang.

Not only that, he also wanted to promote talents, change the sad fate of slaves, and liberate productivity.

However, what happened later made him think he was in a dream for a while.

Zishou clearly remembered that that day, he followed the Grand Tutor Wen Zhong in the palace to learn how to deal with state affairs.

But he never thought that a strong man broke into the palace and took his son away.

The subsequent experiences made me even more eye-opener and my three views were shattered.

First, I followed this strong man to visit the world and see the real world.

Only then did Zishou realize that Da Shang is just a corner of the world.

Outside the territory of the human race, there is a broader world.

There are thirty-three days of heaven, eighteen levels of hell of the Yinsi, overseas fairy islands, four seas East Palace, and saints temples above thirty-three days...etc.

It can be said that his footprints were left in every corner of the world.

But the way he saw this was beyond his expectations.

The mysterious man didn't know who the sacred man was, and he took him to travel around the world along the way, no matter how strict the place was, it was unobstructed.

Afterwards, he was handed over to six teachers to learn various magical abilities from them.

Following Teacher Zhao Ling'er, Zishu learned human martial arts; following Teacher Fang Yun, he learned talent;

Following Teacher Han Li, he learned the art of alchemy; following Teacher Wan Biyao, he learned the way of creation;

Following Teacher Ying Zheng, he learned the way to govern the country; following Teacher Wang Chao, he learned the art of slaying dragons.

After completing his studies, Zi was tested by six teachers in a battle with one world and passed the test perfectly.

Then, he traveled around the heavens and the worlds, met the teachers' requests to become an immortal, and returned after becoming an immortal.

After this adventure, Zishou grew from a ignorant royal family to a knowledgeable gentleman.

With the previous hundred years of experience as an emperor, Zishou has already had a comprehensive plan for how to change the pattern of the Da Shang Dynasty.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available!

This east wind will come soon!

After returning, Zishou did not make any statement and told anyone about the adventure.

Still as before, he is openly respectful and polite, and is eager to learn and brave.

In secret, the strong men in the Qiankun Continent world gathered together and were always ready to summon them.

People would not have thought that this inconspicuous third prince of Da Shang had completed a gorgeous turn and would burst out in the future.

Time flies very quickly, and half a year has passed since Zishou returned.

On this day, the waiter came to report and the King of Shang summoned him.

Upon hearing this news, Zi Su's thoughts moved, and his spiritual consciousness came out of his body and scanned the entire palace.

"Lead the way!"

After a while, Zishu's face slightly sank and he said to the waiter.

He already knew what was going on.

Soon, under the guidance of the waiter, Zishou arrived at the bedroom of Emperor Yi of Shang.

At this time, Di Yi was bedridden, his obviously thin face was covered with haggardness and darkness.

It makes people feel that the life of a generation of emperors is coming to an end.

After a while, Bigan, Wen Zhong, Shang Rong and other important officials of the Shang Dynasty also arrived.

Although I had expected it, when I saw Di Yi's appearance, everyone was also quite sad.

Seeing everyone coming, Di Yi immediately ordered someone to sit down, waved his hand, and called Zishou to the bed.

"Since he ascended the throne, he dared not slackew for a day. However, the princes are powerful and rebelled at times. Fortunately, with the help of you and others, they can make peace. Now I die in the morning and night, and only my son is young, so I still rely on you for your assistance."

He raised his head and Di Yi spoke to everyone.

"I will do my best."

Bi Gan, Wen Zhong, Shang Rong and others had their eyes red and responded.

"I accept my son, and I hope to remember my words: Compared to the emperor, I am loyal to the emperor and patriotism, ask for the people, dare to speak out for the frankness, and be named "Asiafu". You should serve him as a father."

After a break, Di Yi was reminded to his son.

"The Grand Tutor, who is upright and has great skills, can be entrusted to foreign affairs. You should serve him as a teacher and give him the 'King Jin Whip', and beat the foolish monarch and give him a slander. You should warn him."

"The prime minister Shangrong, an old minister of two dynasties, a capable man in the world, can be entrusted with internal affairs, and you should believe it."

This is an arrangement to entrust Gu Laochen to assist the next Shang king.

"The child will not forget the teachings of the father."

Zishou replied in a low voice.

Even if he was given a strange adventure, as the next king of Da Shang, he was still a son.

As a son, he felt so upset that his father was about to die.

"Let's leave, I will stay."

After arranging the funeral, Di Yi waved his hand and asked Wen Zhong and others to retreat.

"I'm going to leave!"

When everyone heard this, they bowed and stood outside and waited.

In the bedroom, only Di Yi was left, and the son was father and son.

Looking at Zishou, Di Yi said slowly: "There is no outsider at this moment. I still have a few instructions. You should keep them in mind."

"Bigan is my brother, and he is a concubine with Jizi! My great Shang ancestor system, and my brother finally comes to him. However, this method has hidden dangers and conflicts arise, which is not conducive to the continuation! Now my teachings are located in you, and he must have resentment in his heart. Now he is named his father to show honor. However, he does not know what he thinks, so you must not guard against it."
