On this day, two pieces of news spread like wildfire throughout the Shang Dynasty, from the capital city of Chaoge.
The first message.
The Great Shang Dynasty's Holy Ancestor Yin Zicheng will hold his wedding in Chaoge nine days from now.
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the Dashang family was overjoyed.
Millions of ordinary people were genuinely happy, as if they were getting married themselves.
Please be aware.
In the hearts of the hundreds of millions of people in the Shang Dynasty, Yin Zi made a great sacrifice to become the Shang Dynasty.
They believe that Yin Zicheng has never married since the founding of the Shang Dynasty, entirely for the sake of the millions of people of the Shang Dynasty.
Now, their idol, Yin Zicheng, the pillar of the Shang Dynasty who has guarded the land for six hundred years, is finally about to do something good: get married and have children.
In the eyes of the common people of Dashang.
This is not only a joyous occasion for Yin Zicheng, but also for the entire Shang Dynasty!
In a short time.
Throughout the various prefectures and counties of the Great Shang Dynasty, every citizen celebrated as if it were a joyous occasion in their own home, with every household adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations, and displaying auspicious double happiness characters.
At first glance, it seems as if millions of ordinary people from the Great Shang Dynasty are all preparing for a happy occasion on the same day.
in.
Wealthy people from all over the country brought carefully prepared gifts and traveled to Chaoge via teleportation arrays.
They hoped to have the opportunity to congratulate Yin Zicheng on his wedding!
......
The Great Shang Ancestor is about to get married; this is a joyous occasion.
When this news spread, the entire Dashang region was filled with joy.
However, the second piece of news shocked everyone!
Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, who was regarded as a virtuous man and called the Sage of Xiqi, was actually a wolf with ambitions and attempted to overthrow the Shang Dynasty. He will be executed by slow slicing in Chaoge in three days!
The news sent shockwaves through the nation.
"My God! Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, is a traitor who has brought chaos to the country. The Holy Ancestor has ordered him to be executed by slow slicing? This... is truly unbelievable! Isn't Ji Chang the sage of Xiqi praised by everyone?"
"That's why they say you can know a person's face but not their heart. If it weren't for the return of the Holy Ancestor, we would all have been fooled by that traitor Ji Chang!"
"How could the Holy Ancestor's order be wrong? I never expected this! Ji Chang looks like he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and seems kind and benevolent, but it turns out it was all an act! This two-faced fellow is really good at hiding his true colors!"
"Thanks to the return of the Holy Ancestor! Otherwise, that traitor Ji Chang might have succeeded, and our peaceful Shang Dynasty would have been thrown into chaos!"
......
Ji Chang was of extremely high status and was skilled at disguise. His past reputation in the Shang Dynasty was second to none.
only.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
Ji Chang's reputation was good, but it couldn't compare to Yin Zicheng's immense prestige accumulated over six hundred years!
The founding emperor!
Establish various rules and regulations to put major businesses on the right track!
He made countless inventions, covering all aspects of life in the Shang Dynasty, especially in terms of grain, which increased the Shang Dynasty's grain production by more than tenfold, ensuring that hundreds of millions of people in the Shang Dynasty could have enough to eat!
Punish corrupt officials and local bullies, and stand up for the people!
All these achievements make Yin Zicheng's accomplishments unparalleled, even by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, let alone a mere Ji Chang.
Therefore.
Even though Ji Chang had a good reputation, the people of Shang still trusted Yin Zicheng more!
They believed that Yin Zicheng would never wrong Ji Chang.
He said Ji Chang was a traitor who brought chaos to the country, then he must be one!
......
The Black Bird Guard's Prison.
Ji Chang has been imprisoned for some time now.
He originally thought that as one of the four great marquises who governed two hundred vassal states in the west, he held a high position and great power in the Shang Dynasty.
Yin Zicheng must take me very seriously and will interrogate me immediately.
He had been very careful in his preparations for the uprising, and Yin Zicheng had only been back for a few days, so it was impossible for him to find conclusive evidence to convict him.
He was just waiting for Yin Zicheng to interrogate him, and if he performed well, he could leave this damned prison!
However.
Ji Chang waited and waited, but Yin Zicheng never came to interrogate him.
After waiting for a while, Ji Chang became restless and spoke to the jailer not far away:
"Brother, why have I been imprisoned here without anyone interrogating me?"
"I wish to see the Holy Ancestor and explain the situation to him. I am innocent!"
......
Given Ji Chang's status, the jailer would have been overjoyed to hear him call him "brother."
But things are different now.
Now, who doesn't know that Ji Chang is a traitor who brought chaos to the country? He is about to be executed by slow slicing and his name will be engraved on the Stele of Treacherous Officials, where he will be cursed for all eternity?
The jailer was immediately displeased when he heard Ji Chang address him as a brother:
"Brother? Who is your brother, you traitor who has brought chaos to the country?"
"I hate treacherous scoundrels like you more than anything in my life. I wish I could beat you up. Brother? Bah!"
The jailer showed Ji Chang no respect whatsoever, spitting directly in his face.
Immediately, the jailer, with an air of utter disdain for a dead man, coldly said:
"Ji Chang, then don't even think about causing any trouble. Your crime was decreed by the Holy Ancestor, and no one can change it!"
"Let me tell you, the Holy Ancestor has decreed that you, this traitor, will be executed by slow slicing in three days!"
"You're about to die!"
"Hmph! Why should I waste my breath on a dying traitor like you? Bah, bah, bah, what bad luck!"
As they spoke, the jailer kept a safe distance from Ji Chang, as if afraid of getting tainted by some bad luck.
......
In prison.
I... am dying?
Upon hearing the jailer's words, Ji Chang was struck dumb, as if by lightning.
