After Sima Qian was convicted, he compiled a "History of History", and after The Marquis Of Xibo Jichang was trapped in the Book of Changes by the King of Shang, Sima Qian pinned the rest of his life on the "Records of History", but Ji Chang was purely scheming, and he was willing to become an "editor" of the "I Ching" just to confuse the King of Yi and get out of The Book of Qi as soon as possible, and later the King of Xi was careless and released Ji Chang back to Xiqi.
Ji Chang's return to Xiqi was not like Liu Bei leaving Cao Cao to go into the mountains and rivers and swim in the sea, his Xiqi was only subject to the small frontier state of Yin Shang, and Xi Bohou ostensibly still had to serve the King of Sui, and could only secretly accumulate strength to collect such capable people as Jiang Ziya.
Ji Chang should be old and act more "steadily", although Yin Shang has become a broken wall that can be pushed down, but he still does not dare to establish himself as king. After Ji Chang's death, Ji Fa succeeded to the throne, Ji Fa was not as timid and afraid of things as Ji Chang, he prepared to "Marquis Sheng Wang", directly self-proclaimed "King Wu of Zhou", so important that he decided to consult with his father Jiang Ziya.
If Ji Fa established himself as king, it would be equivalent to sitting on an equal footing with the King of Shang, so that the tyrant king of Shang would definitely raise troops to cut it, Ji Fa hesitated and hesitated here, Yin Shang's strength was much stronger than Xiqi's, could he withstand the attack of Yin Shang's soldiers? This is something Ji Fa must consider!
Jiang Ziya: Don't wait for Yin Shang to cut Xiqi!
Jiang Ziya, the old man who was fishing, really had the courage to say to King Wu of Zhou: "Establish yourself as king, and raise troops to cut down the silk!" "Jiang Ziya is highly intelligent here, when he established himself as king, it was the time when the "King of Wu cut the silk", even if he would wait for the king of the dragon to attack Xiqi, it was better to attack the strong first, and not give the king of the king time to breathe.
King Wu asked Tai Gong, "At the time of the Rebellion, there was no loyal servant or good soldier?" Tai Gong said, "A loyal and virtuous man, born of heaven and earth, what is nothingness?" ”
King Wu of Zhou was still not confident, so he asked Jiang Ziya, "Didn't King Huan have loyal subjects?" Jiang Ziya replied, "Of course there are loyal subjects!" Xia Jie and Shang Yi are not short of loyal subjects, and loyal ministers will have them at any time, and it can be said that there are everywhere between heaven and earth. ”
At this time, Ji Fa hesitated even more, and then asked: "The King of Sui has so many loyal and good generals, so can I still succeed in cutting the silk?" Jiang Ziya smiled hesitantly: "If you cut the silk, you will be able to succeed!" ”
Jiang Ziya said it easily, but Ji Fa listened to it in a vague way, and Jiang Ziya was even more proud to see Ji Fa like this, saying: "These loyal servants of the King of Lu will be useless, and the King of Lu will not listen to them at all, nor will he use them!" ”
Ji Fa was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it in front of Jiang Ziya, and after forcibly suppressing xi se, he pretended to have a bitter face and continued to ask, "I would like to listen to the details of Xiang Father's great plan!" ”
Jiang Ziya saw Ji Fa's thoughts, and thought that you Ji Fa can pretend so well, then I also want to express it gently, "It is the king of Lu who is cruel and unkind, and the cutting of the lu is in accordance with the will of Heaven"! Jiang Taigong's meaning is obvious, this is not your Ji Fa want to cut down the king of qiu, it is the reason for the king himself.
After some benevolence and morality, Jiang Ziya turned to the right topic, "The King of Lu Daxing Palace, the construction of the wine pond meat forest, Bi Gan and other loyal ministers have repeatedly advised, but the King of Lu still does not listen; the King of Lu is uneasy about the merits, Fei Zhong and You Hun have no merit but are rewarded a lot; the King of Lu likes treasures and jade, and skillfully robs the people, and the yin merchants have vegetables on their faces, and now the King of Lu does not need to be loyal and the people are centrifugal, at this time, the harvest is like the autumn wind rolling down the leaves, if the winter snow stretches the earth!" ”
At this moment, Ji Fa couldn't stop smiling, "So good, very good!" Jiang Ziya also smiled, "King Wu, you just wait!" Ji Fa was stunned, and immediately reacted to praise Jiang Ziya: "Or Xiang Father will do things!" So Ji Fa established himself as "King Wu of Zhou", contacted the eight hundred princes, and began to "King Wu of Wu!" ”
