Chapter 2068 2326 Dashi Guoshi
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. The Shang Dynasty had been in control of the world for eight hundred years, and its fortunes were endless, showing off the fireworks of the princes in the world.
It has been three days since King Zhou, escorted by a huge army of troops, returned to Chaoge. However, the strange thing is that, except for a few close ministers such as Bigan, King Zhou did not recruit anyone to the palace, nor did he hold a morning court. This abnormal phenomenon made many ministers feel strange, and even made many envoys from other countries feel uneasy.
"Did something really happen to the king and he couldn't take charge of the government himself?" Secretly, rumors began to spread quietly. It is said that when King Zhou was visiting the Huang family, he encountered a great disaster. Disaster came from heaven, and King Zhou was also injured...
Although this kind of thing is based on speculation, it has some basis. It also captures the superstitious characteristics of people in this era. Therefore, although it is so absurd and unruly, many people believe it. In their view, God will not punish the king without reason. It must be the king's misconduct that will cause God's wrath.
In this way, the spearhead was pointed directly at King Zhou. In this era, divination and the theory of ghosts and gods were taken seriously. Many ministers couldn't help but wanted to go to the palace to see the king after hearing such rumors that had begun to spread among the people. However, they were all rejected by King Zhou.
For a time, the ministers could not help but feel panic. They originally had great confidence in King Zhou, thinking that King Zhou might have accidentally angered God, but seeing King Zhou's attitude and not wanting to summon them, they thought that something terrible had really happened.
Therefore, rumors began to spread among the ministers.
Born with a strange phenomenon, the king avoided seeing his ministers, which made many ministers panic. What is even more strange is that many fortune tellers either had their tortoise shells cracked when they were predicting such a big event, or the fortune tellers themselves suddenly had accidents. This made the already panic-stricken ministers even more confused.
But there are no absolutes in things, everything must be reversed when it goes to extremes, but there is an exception. There are many things that the world-famous fortune tellers cannot predict, but an old fortune teller who just came to Chaoge claims to be able to divine things.
For a time, there was an endless stream of traffic in front of the fortune teller's house. What's even more amazing is that this fortune teller, in addition to receiving dignitaries, also receives ordinary people, and all the things he said are accurate and come true. In just three or two days, the fortune teller's reputation became completely famous in Chaoge.
But on the fourth day, when all the ministers were still unsure about what they were going to do today, a decree suddenly came from above, saying that the king was going to court.
All the ministers were very surprised, but they all cheered up and went to the court.
After three buckles and six bows, all the ministers stood in their respective positions.
"My dear friends, what happened to me after I've been away for the past few days?"
Listening to the voice, it was full of energy, and it didn't look like something had happened.
Minister Shang Rong was the first to step forward to start the performance. At this moment, all the ministers also raised their heads and looked at King Zhou quietly. It didn't matter, but all the ministers were surprised.
On the throne, King Zhou was sitting upright, and next to him, a Taoist priest in green clothes stood there, his expression could be said to be arrogant, but not respectful, just standing like that. The guards around King Zhou seemed not to be looking at the Taoist priest.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong in the court. But, I don't know the origin of this Taoist priest next to your Majesty?" The old minister Shang Rong also discovered this matter, but he was pretending to be confused. He had known it for a long time. Lin Tianyao's identity, this question was asked on behalf of other ministers.
When the ministers heard the voice of the old minister Shang Rong, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully. The king went out for a trip and quietly brought back such a young Taoist priest. He seemed to trust him very much. Thinking of the rumors circulating in the market about the king's misfortune, all the ministers couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
Is this the new celebrity next to the king?
"This is my new national preceptor. I was traveling to the Huang family this time. On the way, I encountered an evil heretic who wanted to kill me. I was ruined. Thanks to this immortal elder, I was able to be safe and sound. Taoist priest Tianyao , these are the noble ministers.”
King Zhou pretended to be mysterious and said. He also knew the strange atmosphere flowing in the court today, so some words had to be explained clearly.
"I don't dare to be a poor man. Your Majesty, you are the emperor's good fortune, and you are blessed with great blessings. And all the ministers are the pillars of the Shang Dynasty. I am no more than a barbarian, how dare you overstep your bounds." Lin Tianyao was very humble. He knew that it was enough for King Zhou to praise him. If he performed too eye-catchingly, he would inevitably be remembered by those who cared about him.
Although most of the people in the court were disciples of Jie Jiao, they couldn't prevent the Western Zhou Dynasty's spies among them. At this time, he was not suitable for direct confrontation with Western Zhou Dynasty.
"That's it. I just don't know what kind of magical skills the Taoist master has from the He family. Can you tell me and other mortals?" Bigan walked out at this time and blinked at Lin Tianyao and asked.
The first thing to focus on cultivating immortals is cultivation, and secondly, the sect. Hearing Bigan's question, the eyes of the court ministers couldn't help but become brighter.
Could it be that he is an expert in interception teaching again? Everyone thought this way.
"The poor Taoist master Nuwa empress. The empress thought that there was an evildoer who wanted to incite chaos in Fang Kingdom. Therefore, she specially ordered me to go down the mountain to help the king solve this disaster." Lin Tianyao clasped his hands together, lowered his head and said with a gesture.
Needless to say, everyone in the world knows about the reputation of Empress Nuwa. But now, with such a great god to rely on, the ministers in the court will naturally no longer have any doubts about him. This is also convenient for him to do things in the future.
And things turned out just as he thought. After hearing that he was from the sect of Nuwa, the ministers looked at him with a bit of respect. ....
