Di Xin was filled with trepidation and somewhat dared not go to see Yin Zicheng.
However, when Yin Zicheng called him to go out, he dared not disobey.
Faced with the urging of the court officials, Emperor Xin nodded and said:
"My beloved ministers, come with me to meet the Holy Ancestor!"
soon.
All the civil and military officials in the Longde Hall followed Emperor Xin and ran out of the hall.
We arrived outside the palace.
Seeing Yin Zicheng and the Three Immortals standing in mid-air, Di Xin exclaimed in amazement:
"Truly worthy of being called the Holy Ancestor, the holy aura emanating from him alone makes me want to worship him!"
"The fairy beside him is truly beautiful, surpassing even the concubines in my harem a thousand times over! Alas, such a fairy is beyond my reach..."
When Emperor Xin saw the unparalleled beauty of the Three Immortals, he dared not make a move on them.
After all, she was the woman of the Great Shang Ancestor; he didn't even dare to think about it!
......
Yin Zicheng's imposing presence and the unparalleled beauty of the Three Immortals stunned Emperor Xin and all the civil and military officials who emerged from the Longde Palace.
immediately.
Di Xin knelt and bowed to Yin Zicheng:
"Your unworthy descendant, Di Xin, pays respects to our ancestor!"
Shang Rong, Bi Gan, Huang Feihu, Du Yuanxian, and others followed suit and knelt down:
"Your subjects Shang Rong/Bi Gan/Huang Feihu... pay respects to the Holy Ancestor who protects the nation!"
Yin Zicheng stood in mid-air, looking at a group of people who were extremely familiar from the Investiture of the Gods stories, kneeling at his feet.
Emperor Xin, the ruler of the Shang Dynasty, whose status was equal to that of the Heavenly Emperor;
Shang Rong, prime minister of the Shang Dynasty and a veteran of three dynasties;
Bi Gan, the Grand Chancellor of the Shang Dynasty, possessed a brilliant and insightful mind.
King Wu Cheng of the Shang Dynasty, later Emperor Huang Feihu of the Eastern Peak...
All the top nobles who once held immense power in the Great Shang Dynasty showed utmost humility before Yin Zicheng.
......
Yin Zicheng glanced at everyone and said:
"Di Xin, Fei Zhong, and You Hun, please remain kneeling. Everyone else, please rise..."
Hearing Yin Zicheng's words.
Shang Rong, Bi Gan, Huang Feihu, and others felt it was inappropriate for Di Xin to still be kneeling while they, as his subjects, stood up.
But since the Holy Ancestor of the Nation had spoken, they dared not disobey.
then.
Shang Rong, Bi Gan, and Huang Feihu hesitated for a moment before thanking them and getting up.
After getting up.
Looking at Di Xin, Fei Zhong, and You Hun, who were being punished by Yin Zicheng to kneel, Shang Rong, Bigan, and the others thought to themselves:
"The Holy Ancestor only made the King, Fei Zhong, and You Hun kneel, which must be because he knew that His Majesty had written a poem in the Nuwa Palace, which was a desecration of the Goddess Nuwa, and that he had favored the two treacherous ministers Fei Zhong and You Hun."
"According to legend, the Holy Ancestor will punish the King and eliminate the treacherous ministers, so that the King will repent and return to his former diligent state! With the Holy Ancestor's intervention, the Shang Dynasty will be secure!"
......
There are more than one story about Yin Zicheng punishing the emperor and eliminating treacherous officials.
Shang Rong, Bigan, and others were very familiar with this, and they had a strong sense that they were about to witness history.
They watched expectantly, all their previous worries gone.
Please be aware.
Recently, Emperor Xin first wrote a poem at the Nuwa Palace, showing disrespect for the Holy Mother of Humanity and the Sage of Heaven.
Then, he favored Fei Zhong and You Hun and wanted to select concubines from all over the country.
Despite Shang Rong and others' various attempts to dissuade him, Emperor Xin remained obstinate and insisted that the Marquis of Ji Province offer up his daughter, Daji.
Shang Rong and Bigan were deeply worried about Di Xin's changes and autocratic rule.
Now it's all right.
With the return of the Holy Ancestor who protects the nation, the Shang Dynasty will have a bright and prosperous future!
......
Shang Rong, Bi Gan, and Huang Feihu were happy.
Di Xin, Fei Zhong, and You Hun knelt on the ground, trembling with fear and feeling extremely distressed.
"What a miserable situation! I just wanted to enjoy myself for a bit, how come my ancestor, who disappeared for sixty years, has returned?"
"I wonder how the Ancestor will punish me... I hope he'll go easy on me..."
Di Xin felt uneasy.
Fei Zhong and You Hun, who were standing next to him, were so frightened that they were trembling all over and their teeth were chattering.
"Why is this happening? Wasn't it said that the Holy Ancestor who protects the nation is focused on cultivation and doesn't care about these things?"
"There were so many treacherous officials in the previous dynasty, and he didn't come back to do anything about it... How come he just happened to come back when it's my turn? I'm so unlucky!"
Fei Zhong and You Hun were terrified.
They had heard of Yin Zicheng's formidable reputation.
If Yin Zicheng were to return to the Shang Dynasty from time to time to reorganize the government, they certainly wouldn't dare to cause trouble. However, Yin Zicheng had been blinded by the will of Heaven and hadn't returned for too long, leading Fei Zhong and You Hun to believe that Yin Zicheng was no longer the same as before and would no longer take strong action against the treacherous officials of the Shang Dynasty.
Thus, in their pursuit of power and wealth, they embarked on the path of sycophants.
Who would have thought that they had only been favored for a short time before Yin Zicheng returned?
......
The thought that he had gone to great lengths to please Emperor Xin to ascend the throne, only to fall into Yin Zicheng's hands and be killed by cruel means before he could enjoy the fruits of his labor, becoming an example of how Yin Zicheng eliminated treacherous officials, and being remembered by countless people of the Shang Dynasty for his infamy for eternity, was deeply troubling.
Fei Zhong and You Hun felt both bitter and afraid.
Before Yin Zicheng could speak, they questioned them.
"Bang...bang...bang..."
Fei Zhong and You Hun kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy in trembling voices:
"Holy Ancestor, I know I was wrong! I beg you, Holy Ancestor, to consider this my first offense and give me a chance to reform..."
