Chapter 258 A poem written by King Zhou of Nuwa Temple

Emperor Yi died after reigning for thirty years and was passed down to his third son, King Shou. King Shou was Emperor Xin. After becoming king, he became King Zhou.

Emperor Xin was the king, Wen Zhong had the Taishi Wen Zhong, and Huang Feihu was the king of Wu. Wen was enough to stabilize the country, and Wu was enough to rule the country. King Zhou was enjoying peace, and all eight hundred princes in the world returned to Shang. There are also four major princes who command eight hundred small princes: Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, Nanbohou E Chongyu, Xibohou Jichang, and Beibeihou Chonghu.

One day, the emperor came to the main hall early. The civil and military ministers below stood on both sides. The officer next to King Zhou asked: "If you have something to report, please leave the court if there is nothing!"

Before he finished speaking, someone came out of the queue, bowed his head and said, "My lord, Shang Rong, please tell me if you have anything to say!"

The first king, King Zhou, was curious. Shang Rong was the prime minister and a veteran of the previous dynasty. He had always been highly virtuous and respected. When he saw him talking, King Zhou was very curious and replied: "I love you, but it doesn't matter!"

"I would like to report to your majesty that March 15th, half a month later, is the Christmas Eve of Empress Nuwa. Please come to Nuwa Palace to offer incense."

King Zhou asked out of curiosity: "What merits does Nuwa have that makes King Gu go and offer incense in person?"

Shang Rong said quickly: "Nuwa is the great ancient goddess who personally created human beings and is the Holy Mother of the human race. The human race is grateful, so she sacrifices to repay her. Today, the people are blessed and the country is prosperous. It is precisely because of the blessing of the righteous god. Your Majesty is currently The fragrance goes up.”

King Zhou thought for a while and felt that there was no problem, so he said: "It's accurate!"

Half a month later, King Zhou led all the officials from the court to Nuwa Temple to offer incense.

When he arrived at the Nuwa Temple, King Zhou began to look at the gorgeous palace and saw the colorful gold decorations in front of the palace. The golden boys hold banners and flags to each other, and the beautiful girls hold wishful things in both hands. The jade hook hangs diagonally, and half of the crescent moon hangs in the sky; the treasure tent is whirling, and thousands of pairs of colorful luan are fighting each other. Beside the blue bed, there are dancing cranes and flying luan; the agarwood throne creates flying dragons and flying phoenixes. The fluttering colors are extraordinary, the golden furnace is filled with auspicious mist; the curling purple mist is auspicious, and the silver candle is brilliant.

Under the leadership of a group of ministers, King Zhou completed the sacrificial activities, burned incense into the furnace, and worshiped Nuwa.

After worshiping, King Zhou carefully looked at everything in the hall. He looked at the statue of Nuwa standing there quietly. There seemed to be a layer of gauze blocking the statue in front of it, making it difficult for people to enjoy the sight. I just feel that the goddess is hazy, the fairy is graceful, the appearance is beautiful, the auspicious colors are graceful, the beauty of the country is like the fairy descending to the earth, and the moon palace Chang'e descends to the world.

At this moment, a gust of dark wind blew into the depths of King Zhou's mind, magnifying the desire in King Zhou's heart a thousand times in an instant. At the same time, the Shang Dynasty's national destiny dragon suddenly roared in the direction of Nuwa Temple. The roar was astonishing, but ordinary people could not hear it.

At this time, King Zhou looked at the statue of Nuwa again, but he felt that his soul was wandering, and he suddenly became lustful. He thought to himself: "The lonely king is the emperor, and he is rich all over the world. Even though he has six courtyards and three palaces, he is not so beautiful."

He immediately ordered people to fetch the four treasures of the study. The emperor deeply moistened the purple hair, and wrote a poem on the pink wall of the palace:

"The Feng Luan Bao tent is very beautiful, full of gold and gold.

The distant mountains are green, and the sleeves are dancing gracefully to reflect the clouds.

The pear blossoms are blooming in the rain, and the peony cage is full of smoke.

But Jiaorao can act and take back Changle to serve the king. "

When Prime Minister Shang Rong saw this, he was shocked and quickly admonished: "Nu Wa is the ancient god and the blessing of the world. I asked your Majesty to come here to pray for virtue. Now that your Majesty has written a poem that is blasphemous and devoid of piety, you will definitely be punished." It is sacred and not a gift from the emperor. I hope your majesty will wash this poem away with water. I am afraid that when the people in the world see this poem, they will spread rumors that your majesty is immoral!"

"snort!"

King Zhou snorted coldly and said displeasedly: "The solitary king saw that Nuwa's beauty was unparalleled, so he wrote a poem to praise her. What's the point? There is no need for the Qing family to say more. The solitary king is the lord of ten thousand chariots, so he left this poem for everyone. When the people see it, they can see the peerless beauty of Nuwa, and they can also see the legacy of the lonely king!"

"His Majesty……"

Shang Rong still wanted to say something, but King Zhou interrupted him and said, "Okay, no need to say more, go back to the palace!"

Seeing this, all the civil and military officials were silent and did not dare to contradict the king, so they followed King Zhou back.

After King Zhou left, a gray-robed Taoist appeared in the void of Nuwa Temple, with faint traces of blood on the corners of his mouth. After watching King Zhou leave, he whispered: "As expected of the king of the human race, with profound luck, the poor Taoist just used some tricks, but the fate of the country backfired, and he was slightly injured. However, everything was worth it. For the turmoil in the east, I have to bear all the hardships." It’s all worth it.”

The Taoist remained silent for a long time. He used his means to cover up all traces of this and then turned around and left.

The moment the Taoist left, several holy thoughts scanned over. After scanning many times and seeing no one, they dispersed.

In the palace of Wa, Nuwa felt something. She calculated it with her hands and swept her holy thoughts to know what happened. After seeing the poem on the pink wall of the temple, she immediately became angry and cursed:

"How brave! This ignorant and ignorant king doesn't want to cultivate his moral integrity to protect the world, but he dares to write obscene poems to insult me. How abominable! Cheng Tang has enjoyed the destiny of the country for more than 600 years, and now he is about to expire, with 28 years to go. , If I don’t give him retribution, he doesn’t know my anger!”

Nuwa was extremely dissatisfied, so she took the demon summoning banner left by the demon clan's heaven and summoned all the demons to come. After a while, the dark wind blew, the mist shrouded, and all the monsters from the world came to the palace to listen to Queen Nuwa's orders.

Nuwa ordered Caiyun Boy: "Let all the demons retreat, leaving only the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb to serve."

The three demons are a thousand-year-old fox spirit, a nine-headed pheasant spirit, and a jade pipa spirit. The three demons entered the palace and paid homage to Nuwa. But the empress said: "Shang Tang's energy has been exhausted, the phoenix sings in Xiqi, and the Holy Lord has been born in the Western Zhou Dynasty. You three demons can hide their demonic forms, entrust them into the court songs, cause trouble to the emperor, and help King Wu defeat Zhou. After the event is completed, you can help You will achieve the right result."

Naturally, the three demons did not dare to disobey Saint Nuwa's will. After thanking her, they went to the human world and tried to find a way to worship her.

At the same time, Nuwa felt that this was not enough. After thinking about it, she also dropped her spiritual beads into the lower world, and reincarnated to bring trouble to the world.

At the same time, in the Yuxu Palace, Yuan Shi was thoughtful. The contrast between King Zhou's attitude was really great. Before, he was a wise king who governed the country, but since entering the incense, he has become a lawless and ignorant king. How can there be such a strange thing in the world? There must be someone behind this.

"Who is it? Only saints can hide it from all the saints. Naturally, Nuwa will not defile herself. Of course, this possibility is not ruled out. So, there are two saints from the West, are they them?" Yuanshi thought silently.

"Or is this a sign of the coming catastrophe of heaven and earth, and the aura of calamity is affecting King Zhou?"

Yuan Shi was not sure, so he could only take one step at a time. Conferring the gods to measure calamity might be an opportunity. After all, the Three Realms had been comfortable for too long.

"I hope something interesting will happen during this calamity." Yuan Shi said silently.

In the song of the court, after King Zhou offered incense and saw Nuwa's beauty, he thought about the tomb and forgot to eat and sleep. Every time he saw the three palaces and six courtyards, he felt uninterested.

One day, King Zhou called Fei Zhong, the senior official to admonish him. This person was a lucky minister of King Zhou. He often made slanderous remarks to King Zhou, and King Zhou followed him all the time.

When he saw Fei Zhong, King Zhou did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose. After Fei Zhong heard this, he directly remonstrated: "Your Majesty is the Supreme Being, and the whole world belongs to your Majesty. What is the difficulty for your Majesty in this matter? Your Majesty only needs to pass down a decree tomorrow and promulgate the four princes to choose the world." If you have beautiful women in the palace and harem, why should you worry that the most beautiful women in the world will not be able to catch the eye of the king?"

After hearing this, King Zhou was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to issue an order to select beauties from all over the world and send them as tribute to the dynasty to fill the harem.

The promulgation of King Zhou's order directly led to the crisis of the Shang Dynasty and accelerated the demise of the dynasty.
