Chapter 2038 2296 The Ministers’ Dream Interpretations (Part 1)
The winged tiger turned into a streak of light and landed directly in a house. King Zhou looked carefully and could faintly see that house. There was a big "yellow-character handsome flag" hanging in the house.
While he was thinking about it, the mountain shook suddenly, and then he suddenly woke up. King Zhou hurriedly summoned his servants, and when he asked about the time, he realized that it was almost time for the morning court.
King Zhou was not originally a king who was particularly keen on going to the early dynasty. Especially in recent years, the country had become stronger and the politics were clear. Except for the Dongyi people who continued to cause chaos, there were no major events. But thinking of last night's dream, King Zhou felt cold in his heart, and thought to himself:
"I don't know what kind of god entrusted me with a dream. I saw in my dream that my empire was almost overturned. Thanks to the help of the giant god and the golden flying tiger god, I was able to be safe. I just didn't know, I still have to ask many of my subordinates what this dream means."
He made up his mind and asked his servants to wait for him to finish grooming. His temper was a little irritable, and he knew that it was no trivial matter for the gods to entrust their dreams to him, so he hurriedly walked towards the palace.
After the ministers kowtowed, King Zhou couldn't wait to tell many ministers his dream.
The Shang Dynasty believed deeply in divination and had no doubts about such things as gods entrusting them with dreams. Therefore, when they heard that the gods were entrusting a dream to King Zhou, all the ministers who dared to doubt it pricked up their ears and listened.
"The big golden tiger ignored my words, pointed at a house, turned into a golden light and got in. I followed, but saw a handsome flag with big yellow characters hanging on the house. I dreamed After I woke up, I couldn't think of any explanation, so I thought of asking you, my dear friends, to help me interpret my dream. This is a serious matter, so I ask you all to do your best."
King Zhou recounted the dream he had had yesterday, and when His Highness and other ministers heard that King Zhou had such a dream, they all looked at each other.
King Zhou was impatient at the moment, and this dream was really scary. At this moment, a minister stood up, came to His Highness and said:
"For your information, your Majesty, the veteran Shang Rong may be able to interpret one or two points of your dream."
"My dear, please speak quickly! I am here to listen!" King Zhou was overjoyed when he saw that it was Shang Rong, a veteran of three dynasties, who came out to speak.
"I don't know the art of Xuanhuang, nor do I know how to interpret dreams. But from the king's dreams, we can guess a bit of what the gods want to tell the king."
Shang Rong kowtowed. After hearing the dream that King Zhou had, he felt uneasy inside. He was the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty and had a distinguished official rank. Naturally, he knew that the world today was far from as peaceful as King Zhou thought.
"My dear, it's okay, I forgive you." King Zhou also knew that dreams are difficult to interpret, especially such a big thing, so he comforted Shang Rong so that he would have no worries.
"The king dreamed that there was a big mountain in the west, but suddenly many strong soldiers emerged and rebelled. In today's world, the four great uncles each control one side. Do you still remember, my king, who is guarding the west?"
This dream was so obvious that King Zhou was not without doubts, but he needed someone to stand up and give him firm confidence.
"Ai Qing, are you talking about Xibo Hou Jichang? I ordered him to guard the west, how dare he do such a rebellious thing!" King Zhou was not without doubts, but when he heard that even Shang Rong, the old prime minister of the three dynasties, said this, he felt in his heart He was furious and said this.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me. Xibohou Jichang has always been wise and respected by people all over the world. Is it too arbitrary to conclude that he is rebellious and disobedient based on just a dream?" On the other side? , King Zhou’s uncle Bigan also came out and said to King Zhou.
King Zhou was furious and was about to send troops to capture Ji Chang, but after hearing Bigan's words, he felt that it was somewhat reasonable. He couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, not knowing what to do.
"Your Majesty, I think what Uncle Bigan said makes sense. But the gods told me in my dream that there is no truth in it. Your Majesty, you also knew in your dream that endless powerful soldiers came from Xiqi, and there were countless powerful Taoists. I just heard a few days ago that a master of teaching and Ji Chang met in Xiqi, so that Fengming Qishan. Thinking about it this way, who else could be the rebel in the king's dream other than Xibo Hou Jichang? "
But on the other side, there was Wang Shuweizi who came forward to show off. When many ministers heard this, they also echoed the words.
King Zhou had already made a decision in his mind, but it was not a trivial matter to attack Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, so he was still hesitant.
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate. I have heard that since Xibohou Jichang took charge of Xiqi, he has been courteous to the virtuous and corporal, respected his teachers, and established his own set of laws, which are different from other places. In recent years, Dongyi has been in rebellion, and Master Wang has The battles are immortal, so that today Taishi Wen Zhong is still fighting endlessly. However, the weather in the Western Zhou Dynasty is good every year, and the people are prosperous. If things continue like this, even if Xibohou Jichang does not rebel, there will be no villains around him. "
The old minister Shang Rong stepped forward again and said. But these words directly spoke to King Zhou's heart.
"It makes some sense, but he is still an uncle after all... I wonder what the two uncles Bigan and Weizi think?" Maybe the dreams are false, but the Wang Army has been constantly going out over the years, which has consumed a lot of money, and However, the Western Zhou Dynasty continued to develop, and the strength of both sides had changed, perhaps unconsciously.
Although there are many ministers in the court, he can only rely on some veterans for such matters.
Bigan and Weizi looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. Then, Bigan said:
"I think what Prime Minister Shang Rong said makes sense."
Wei Zi spoke in the same way, but King Zhou himself was still uneasy, but suddenly he saw Bigan and Wei Zi winking at him at the same time.
He was a smart man and immediately understood what his two uncles meant. ....
