Chapter 343 Message
It was basically a consensus that Wen Zhong would be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, so no one had any objection.
Wen Zhong also felt that he had taken on the responsibility, so he nodded and shouted, "Your Majesty! I obey your command!"
Li Qing continued, "Shen Gongbao, listen to my orders!"
Shen Gongbao didn't expect that the king would choose him as the second person.
After being stunned for a moment, he hurried out, knelt down and loudly replied: "Your Majesty is here!"
"I appoint you as the military advisor to suppress the rebellion, the chief priest of the three armies, to assist the Grand Tutor in the Western Expedition. I order you to draft a manifesto to suppress the rebellion and distribute it throughout the country!"
Shen Gongbao trembled all over when he heard it, and then his eyes turned slightly red!
What kind of trust is this?
It has only been a little over two months since I joined the king's army.
The king entrusted him with such an important task! ?
The duty of the chief priest of the three armies and the military advisor!
This is actually the third in command of the army!
The second-in-command deputy commander must be Huang Feihu.
Because Huang Feihu was not here, Your Majesty did not order.
But being the third in command is already the highest honor!
Shang Rong, Bigan, Yang Ren and other prime ministers and senior officials, who one of them didn’t have more experience and higher reputation than him?
But Your Majesty gave the position of military advisor to me!
Even if you think you are more qualified for this position than others.
But at the same time, I was also very nervous and extremely moved!
The rest of the ministers, especially the civil officials, also showed confusion and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Although Shen Gongbao is a talented person, how long has he been in the field?
How could Your Majesty entrust him with such a heavy responsibility?
People like me have been serving as ministers for several years, more than ten years, or even decades!
Shen Gongbao suddenly raised his head and roared with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty! I obey your command! I will do my utmost! Even if I die, I will not let your Majesty down!"
Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Get up. I believe in you."
Seeing this, the civil officials had to suppress the jealousy in their hearts and try to see what Shen Gongbao could do.
Afterwards, Li Qing divided the troops one by one and selected the generals for each position, totaling 1.63 million troops, forming four armies!
Thirty days later, we will go to Sishui Pass and have a decisive battle with the bandits from Xiqi!
If we lose this battle, the Shang Dynasty's momentum will be completely suppressed. After the bandits from Xiqi break through Sishui Pass, they will attack us one by one until they reach Chaoge!
Once they win, they will switch to offense and defense, and the anti-rebel army will be able to break through the three passes and head straight for Xiqi City!
Therefore, the battle at Sishui Pass and Xiqi Pass is very important!
However, no matter how important it is, the burden in Li Qing's heart is actually not heavy.
Because as long as the saint does not take action, the paper strength of Xiqi will be very, very weak.
After he and Jiufeng are married, he will gather the hearts of all the witches in the world, and then go to the Pure Land of Paradise in the West to let Jie Yin come out to resist Yuanshi.
After the enfeoffment was completed, all the ministers withdrew from the court.
The fifty-five newly appointed immortal monks were all satisfied with their official ranks. It was obvious that His Majesty had made a careful and reasonable arrangement.
With today's grand court meeting, the entire Shang Dynasty began to operate with great strength.
All the states and counties, as well as the princes, had to mobilize their resources and gather in Chaoge, to be dispatched by Shang Rong.
Bigan handled all official affairs in detail. The war was about to begin, and stabilizing the rear was also of utmost importance!
As for Shen Gongbao, after returning to his mansion, he went into the study and began to prepare to write an anti-rebel manifesto.
"I have heard that when the world is undergoing shocking changes, there must be a great and heroic ruler to save it. This is an extraordinary ruler who will do extraordinary things and achieve extraordinary achievements."
"The ancestors of the Ji clan of Xiqi were originally grooms serving Taizu. They were greedy and active, gluttonous and unbridled, and their desires were insatiable. Later, under the pressure of the heroic Taizu, they withdrew their power and became corrupt. Taizu, the heroic Taizu, showed great mercy and pardoned them, exiling them to Zhou. His kindness is unparalleled and needs no words to describe. As a result, they have enjoyed peace and stability for 6,300 years."
"Now there is the evil thief Ji Chang, who does not consider the kindness of Taizu, nor the benevolence of the great ruler of the time. He crawls with Xiqi and has evil thoughts of swallowing up the sky. He is cruel and harms the people, fooling the people, and truly does not know how to die."
"His father, Jizi, was lustful and promiscuous, and possessed an insatiable love of money. He was already over sixty, yet he had more than three hundred wives and concubines. He also stole from the Dingsi, played with valuable artifacts, and stole valuables. He was truly as greedy as a dog and as vicious as a wolf."
"His son, Ji Fa, was a sinister and ruthless person, using any means necessary to achieve his goals. His brother, Ji Kao, fell for his scheme and attacked his own heart meridian, ultimately suffocating and dying! Furthermore, he inherited his grandfather's lewd ways. Before he reached the age of thirty, he had no fewer than five hundred wives and concubines. He was truly as lewd as a snake and as poisonous as a scorpion."
…
"The consequences of his crimes are incalculable and cannot be fully estimated!"
"In Xiqi there is a man of insight and ambition. He should behead the leader of the evil bandits, be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and be rewarded with three hundred million silver coins. He should share the same fate with the country and be called a national hero."
"Hereby, the Greatest Supreme Being of the Human World, the Emperor of Heaven and Earth, decrees a pardon, which shall be issued throughout the world. All the people of the same race shall see clearly the evil and cruelty of the Ji family and shall not aid the Zhou in its atrocities. I hereby decree this."
The next morning, when the sun was rising, Shen Gongbao finally let out a long breath and finished writing the two words "Qinci".
I only saw the silk cloth in front of me.
The more than 3,000 words refuted the Xiqi Ji family completely, and it also occupied the righteousness of heaven and earth!
Nodding with satisfaction, Shen Gongbao carefully put away the silk cloth and stood up, saying, "Come here! Prepare the carriage! I want to go to the palace!"
"Yes, sir!"
With a promise, Shen Gongbao's carriage quickly headed towards the royal city.
Not to mention that Shen Gongbao is writing a manifesto, which will soon be distributed throughout the world.
In Xiqi, the situation eased after a few days, and the sadness in the hearts of the people was mostly dissipated.
Now, there are no righteous men storming the government office, demanding that troops be sent immediately to attack the Human Emperor and avenge the Second Sage.
But overall, Xiqi was still filled with a strong sense of despair, and almost everyone had resentment towards the Shang Dynasty.
This is also what Ji Chang wanted.
The entire city of Xiqi was dressed in mourning, and Ji Chang stood on the city wall with an expressionless face.
"My Lord, it's cold up there, are you going to come down?"
It was already autumn, and the wind was blowing coldly. Wu Ji saw Ji Chang standing there in the cold wind, wondering what he was thinking about. He was a little worried about his health, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Have you spotted any strange people along the Wei River these days?"
After looking inside the city, Ji Chang turned around and looked outside the city. Looking at the wide Wei River dozens of miles away, he asked slowly.
"My Lord... The Wei River stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and countless people cross it every day to fish and wash clothes. As for that strange person, he has yet to be discovered..."
When Wu Ji heard Ji Chang's question, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Um……"
Ji Chang nodded and sighed softly.
How to distinguish between a wise man and an extraordinary person?
It would be easy for the Immortal of the South Pole to just move his mouth, but it was quite troublesome for me to find it these days.
"Father!"
But suddenly, a group of people came running from the distant Wei River outside the city, and Ji Chang was leading the charge.
Although Ji Chang wore a mourning scarf on his head and a mourning cloth around his waist, his whole body was filled with joy!
"My son has found that wise man!"
Following closely behind was Ji Chang's excited shout.
