The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 275 I didn’t expect it
After a while, Wen Tai Shi entered the palace, and Emperor Xin ran to greet him happily.

"Master Wen, you are finally back!"

"Come back? If I don't come back, the Shang Dynasty will be destroyed! How can I face the late king then?" Wen Zhong said sternly.

Emperor Xin was slightly stunned.

Then he saw the people who had made the complaint and immediately understood everything.

"You...you actually dare to complain!"

"Your Majesty, they are not complaining, but what you have done really disappoints me! I have only been away for four years, and you actually favored evil spirits, changed the ancestral system, and disrupted the order of our dynasty!" Wen Zhong groaned.

As soon as he finished speaking, his brows cracked, and a divine light burst out from his heavenly eye, shining directly on Su Hong and others.

"Hmph! A fox, a pheasant, and a jade pipa, they are truly evil!" Wen Zhong was furious to the extreme.

There are witnesses and evidence, there is nothing more to say!
When the ministers heard Wen Zhong point out that Su Hong and others were monsters, they were all shocked, and Huang Feihu also picked up his weapons and prepared to fight.

"Monster, die!" Wen Zhong, wearing armor and holding a pair of male and female whips, attacked Su Hong and others.

However, at this moment, a figure blocked Wen Zhong's way.

Wen Zhong froze in his tracks. "My Lord, what are you doing? These demons all deserve to die!"

Emperor Xin stood in front of Su Hong and the others and said, "Grand Master, you can't kill Prime Minister Su!"

"Prime Minister Su, damn Prime Minister Su, your Majesty has been bewitched by a demon. I'm going to beat her to death." Wen Zhong scolded.

"If you want to kill them, kill me first!" said Emperor Xin.

The three demons looked at each other.

This human king is pretty good.

Even though I know they are monsters, I can still protect them.

In fact, if Su Hong and others were not willing to let Wen Zhong see his true form, Wen Zhong would not have this ability even if he had the third eye.

"Your Majesty, you..." Wen Zhong had a headache.

"Master Wen, if there is anything, can't we just talk about it in a nice tone?" Su Hong asked.

"Demon, there is nothing to talk about. Unless I die, I will kill you! King Wucheng, prepare to eliminate the monster!" Wen Zhong said.

"Yes!" Huang Feihu shouted.

"Friend Wen, why bother with this? If there's any conflict, sit down and talk."

Suddenly, a voice came.

When Wen Zhong heard the voice, he looked over and saw Jiang Ziya.

Wen Zhong is the disciple of the second-generation disciple of Jiejiao, Jin Ling Shengmu, and the third-generation disciple of Jiejiao. He should be the nephew of Jiang Ziya.

However, the relationship between the Chan and Jie sects was not very good, so Jiang Ziya did not dare to be arrogant and called him a fellow Taoist.

"You are Jiang Ziya of the Xianjiao Sect!" Wen Zhong said coldly, "How dare you, a Xianjiao Sect member, send people to disrupt the Shang Dynasty? You will not succeed!"

Wen Zhong became even more excited.

"I will call my fellow teachers here right now."

Jiang Ziya: "..."

I was ready to disobey the order of the Chan Sect, and yet you still treated me like this.

"Ahem, Grand Tutor, please sit down and talk first!" Shang Rong said.

Wen Zhong was stunned.

He can ignore these evil spirits and Jiang Ziya's words.

But he couldn't ignore Shang Rong's words.

"Prime Minister Shang, what do you want to say? Could it be that these evil spirits and Jiang Ziya have done something even more outrageous? I'll beat them to death!" Wen Zhong said in a deep voice.

The eyes of those who filed the complaint suddenly lit up.

Prime Minister Shang, you are a good man!
Even if their relatives were killed, it was Prime Minister Shang who argued for their rights.

When those people died, they were still saying that they would listen to Prime Minister Shang!

Prime Minister Shang is their backbone!
Prime Minister Shang said that even if the king tried to stop him, Master Wen would kill these monsters to avenge them.

"Master Wen, you misunderstood. I don't know whether Su Xiang is a demon or not, but Su Xiang and others have indeed done great favors for our Shang Dynasty. If Master Wen kills them, he will regret it for the rest of his life." Shang Rong said.

Wen Zhong: "???"

what's the situation?
The person making the complaint: “???”

what happened?

Isn't Prime Minister Shang their backbone? Why would he say such a thing?

Are you speaking sarcastically?
Correct!
That's for sure!
"Prime Minister Shang, please be clear. Can these few monsters make any contribution to our Great Shang? I don't believe it!" Wen Zhong said.

"Friend Wen, what if you really made a mistake?" Jiang Ziya suddenly interrupted.

"Shut up. People from the Chan sect have no right to speak." Wen Zhong retorted.

Jiang Ziya: "..."

"Prime Minister Shang, please continue." Wen Zhong said.

Those who filed the complaint were also looking forward to it.

It would be best to just kill all these goblins and compensate them for their losses.

"Master Wen, I won't say anything else. Why do you think you were able to return to the court so quickly?" Shang Rong asked.

Wen Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, according to my estimation, this war would have lasted at least seven or eight years, but because the rear had sufficient food and weapons, the war was ended early."

Then he frowned.

"From what I understand, Chaoge's grain reserves are low due to the previous king's campaigns. Where does all that food come from? Did they increase taxes? That wouldn't work! It would incite public outrage."

"We planted those grains later. It was Dean Yu who cultivated new seeds. The yield of those seeds can be tripled or quadrupled, so we have extra food to supply the front line." Emperor Xin said.

"Three or four times? Who is Dean Yu?" Wen Zhong frowned again.

The era of the Five Emperors ended, and immortals and mortals were separated forever.

Even if we take out immortal seeds, we cannot grow them on the barren land of the human race.

Seeds that can triple or quadruple grain production are truly divine objects for the human race.

"This is true. Dean Yu is Dean Yu Xianer." Bigan said.

After getting Bigan's confirmation, Wen Zhong was slightly stunned.

"Let me also say here that all the defenders in Chaoge City have now changed into new weapons, so the old weapons have been sent to the front line. These new weapons were forged by people sent by Dean Yang." Huang Feihu said.

Although Wen Zhong reminded Su Hong and others that they were monsters.

However, Huang Feihu believed that he could not speak against his conscience.

"Then what's the matter with the sudden appearance of so many doctors in our army? Because of their appearance, our army's casualties have been reduced by at least 30%. This is a great achievement." Wen Zhong continued.

In ancient times, soldiers would indeed die on the battlefield, but a large number of them also died in the barracks.

Those people were all wounded soldiers. With enough doctors, the death rate was reduced.

"The Imperial Physician's Chief Hu compiled the pharmacopoeia and passed it on to all those who were willing to learn medicine in the Shang Dynasty. Naturally, there were more doctors." Mei Bo said.

At the beginning, Mei Bo and others did hate Su Hong and others, but four years have passed.

Mei Bo was not stupid, so he naturally knew that Su Hong and others were benefiting the business.

In fact, he had long since given up wanting to oppose Prime Minister Su.

But with Prime Minister Shang taking the lead, he had no choice but to continue to oppose.

At this time, of course he had to speak up and say something fair.

Wen Zhong was silent for a while. It was true that he came to eliminate the monsters, but he didn't expect that these monsters would make such a great contribution to the Shang Dynasty. He sighed.

"But why did the king kill these meritorious officials? Even if they did something excessive, considering the merits of their ancestors, and the fact that there are many relatives among them, it shouldn't be..."

After hearing what Bigan and the others said, the guys who filed the complaint also knew that the situation had changed.

But we can't lose our composure now.

Prime Minister Shang is still planning a big move, so they still have hope.

"Our ancestors shed blood for the Shang Dynasty and were its heroes!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, this is unfair to us!"

"..."

"You guys are really amazing! Master Wen, it's true that their ancestors made great achievements, but that doesn't mean they can make big mistakes!" Emperor Xin said sternly, pointing at someone.

"Liu Mingcheng, tell me, what did your Liu family do?"

The person being pointed at shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.

"Master Wen, the current head of the Liu family is also a senior official in our Shang Dynasty, a high-ranking official. He deceives his superiors and subordinates, occupies fertile land without reporting it, and evades taxes by nearly 70% by exercising his power..." Emperor Xin said angrily.

"Is this true?" Wen Zhong's face immediately turned gloomy.

"Seriously!" said Bigan and others.

"And the Wu family, the He family..." Emperor Xin pointed them out one by one and talked about the good things they had done.

With the testimony of Bigan and the others, Wen Zhong gripped the male and female whips tighter and tighter, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"You all think that I, Wen Zhong, am old and blind, and you're using me as a pawn?"

"No...we dare not..." Everyone looked at Shang Rong.

Today's action is actually led by Shang Rong.

It was because he said that he had dealt with Master Wen that they all stood up to block his way and complain.

But what to do now?
Under their gaze, Shang Rong slowly walked out and looked at Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin was also stunned. What did this old guy want to do?
Shang Rong then said to Emperor Xin, "I was once your teacher, and today I will teach you a lesson again."

Emperor Xin was full of questions, and those who had filed the complaint were also full of confusion, feeling that something was wrong.

"Master Wen, everything the king said is true. In the past few years, I have been hiding among the ministers and using strategies to destroy those treacherous ministers one by one. It has been four years, and the court should be cleaned up. I have also been waiting for Master Wen to return." Shang Rong said.

Everyone: "???"

what's the situation?
Can anyone tell me what is happening?
"Minister Shang...you...didn't you say you would help us get justice?" someone said tremblingly.

"Are you qualified to uphold justice? As an official, you don't care about the suffering of the people, but only think about pleasure and profit. You deserve to die!" Shang Rong said coldly.

"Prime Minister Shang...this, this, this..." At this moment, everyone's faces looked ashen.

Shang Rong is their recognized leader and their pillar.

As a result, this pillar turned out to be the biggest traitor?

My mentality is broken!
God!

Emperor Xin was also confused.

What is this old guy doing?

Sneak in among the ministers and help him behead them?
No wonder!
No wonder!

Then he looked at Su Hong and the others and found that they all looked like they had known about it for a long time.

Emperor Xin sighed deeply.

So, I'm the only one who doesn't know?

"My lord, this is the plan set by Grandpa Sun. He is afraid that it will be ineffective after you know about it! Besides, we are the only ones who know about it." Su Hong said.

Emperor Xin didn't pursue the matter any further and let it go.

I feel balanced.

In fact, Jiang Ziya on the side was also shocked.

Prime Minister Shang is actually from Prime Minister Su’s faction?

The two of them fought to the death, just like the real thing.

high!
It's really amazing! A few people plotted against the entire court of the Shang Dynasty.

The most important Shang Rong even became the leader of that faction.

At the same time, Bigan and the others were also shocked.

"I'm not deliberately deceiving you. I simply can't expose this until the treacherous ministers are removed." Shang Rong bowed and continued to address those who had filed complaints, "I know you're resentful of the king, but have you ever considered what your families have done?"

"The king, mindful of the contributions of your ancestors, spared us all our lives. How dare you all still dream of turning the tables?"

"Today, I want to tell the king that as a ruler, you must not be soft-hearted!"

The group of people were very panicked.

That’s not what I said before.

"Shang... Shang Xiang..."

"Alright, shut up!" Shang Rong said to Emperor Xin, "Your Majesty, these people harbor resentment. If a war breaks out, they will definitely rebel against the Shang Dynasty. I suggest killing them!"

"Kill them!" Wen Zhong waved his hand and said, "Come, drag these people out and chop them up."

"No...no..." Those people all knelt down and begged for mercy.

They would never have thought until their death that Shang Rong was the man behind the scenes.

"I was impulsive just now. I apologize to you all." Wen Zhong cupped his hands and then glanced at him: "Jiang Ziya, you have no achievements for our Shang Dynasty. I think you are a traitor."

Jiang Ziya: "???"

No, why are you staring at me?
"Master Wen, Jiang Ziya has no special ability and can't make any waves." Emperor Xin waved his hand.

Jiang Ziya was silent.

"Your Majesty, I want to talk to Master Wen." Shang Rong said.

"Go!" Emperor Xin was really tired.

I fought with Shang Rong for four years, but it was all in vain.

In a side hall, Wen Zhong said with emotion: "I have been away from Shang for four years. It is all thanks to Prime Minister Shang's support."

"I don't deserve this credit. I only played a small role. The main credit goes to Prime Minister Su and the others." Shang Rong said sincerely.

He said this from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Su Hong and others, the Shang Dynasty would not have become so good.

"Prime Minister Su, that vixen?" Wen Zhong asked in confusion.

"Whether Prime Minister Su is a demon or a human, he is better than those immortals who want to destroy our Shang Dynasty." Shang Rong said with a smile, and at the same time looked at Wen Zhong meaningfully.

Master Wen has much more to shoulder than I do.

"You know?" Wen Zhong was slightly surprised.

He did know that the Shang Dynasty was going to perish, but he just didn't want to put pressure on others.

So he just asked for help from Jiejiao, but his master did not allow it.

In the end, he only found a few disciples of the Jiejiao sect who he had good personal relationships with, and those people also said that they would help if Wen Zhong needed help.

To this day, Wen Zhong is still trying to find a solution.

However, he didn't expect that Shang Rong also knew about this.

"Not only do I know about this, in fact, the king should know it as well. How weak is human power compared to that of immortals and gods, and compared to heaven? However, I don't believe that man cannot defeat heaven! Even if I die, I will poke a hole in the sky!" Shang Rong said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

At this moment, Wen Zhong's heart trembled violently.

He seemed to have seen something gathering above Shang Rong's head, but it quickly dissipated.

"It's difficult, too difficult!" Wen Zhong shook his head helplessly.

"Even if the Shang Dynasty prospers, it relies on a few mortals..."

It is difficult to fight against immortals and gods, let alone fight against the sky?
"No, we still have hope. There is a senior who is willing to help us fight against the sky. He told me that the sky is going to destroy Shang, and he was also the one who sent Su Xiang and the others here." Shang Rong said.

"Senior!?" Wen Zhong was slightly surprised.

As a person who has embarked on the path of immortality, he thinks more than Shang Rong.

There is no such thing as giving without reason in this world!

Why did that person help the Shang Dynasty?

Shang Rong, perhaps noticing Wen Zhong's doubts, said, "Master Wen, please ask for the details yourself! I don't know what that person's intentions are, but... we have no choice. The Shang Dynasty is growing stronger, and that's a fact."

"Where to find him?" Wen Zhong asked.

"Huichuntang! If he wants to see you, he will see you. If he doesn't want to..." Shang Rong replied.

Wen Zhong turned and left.

At the palace, Su Hong smiled and said to Jiang Ziya, "Mr. Jiang, Grandpa said that he will tell you who he is today."

Jiang Ziya's body trembled slightly.

Initially, because of this doubt, I was tricked into the business world.

Now, although the answer to this riddle is not that important, Jiang Ziya still wants to know.

In front of Huichun Hall.

Wen Zhong stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Shang Rong, he probably couldn't change anything, but he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

However, at this moment, another figure appeared.

"Jiang Ziya, what are you doing here?" Wen Zhong asked unhappily.

"You can come, but I can't?" Jiang Ziya was annoyed.

He didn't expect to meet Wen Zhong, but this road was not owned by his family.

It’s okay to confront me in the court, but I can’t tolerate it here!

"Hmph!" Wen Zhong grunted and prepared to go in, and Jiang Ziya was also about to step in.

The two looked at each other, and their expressions froze instantly.

"Why are you following me? Does your Chan sect have any new conspiracy?" Wen Zhong asked angrily.

"Why should I follow you? It's obviously you who followed me!" Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth.

It seemed as if the two were about to fight at the next moment.

"Hey, these two guys are fighting before they even enter the door." Sun Wukong in the house smiled.

Kong Xuan waved his hand and the two of them appeared in the lobby in an instant.

Wen Zhong and Jiang Ziya looked at each other again, then turned their heads away.

"Hello, senior." Jiang Ziya bowed.

Wen Zhong finally bowed, but when he looked up at Kong Xuan, he was also stunned: "General Kong?"

Kong Xuan was in charge of Sanshan Pass. He was a general of the Shang Dynasty and had dealt with Wen Zhong before.

But why is General Kong here?

And judging from his posture, General Kong respected the old man at the top.

"Master Wen!" Kong Xuan also responded.

"Wen Zhong, you clearly know that Heaven wants to destroy Shang, so why are you so stubborn?" Sun Wukong asked with a smile.

"Senior, are you here to persuade me? If so, there is no need to do so." Wen Zhong said in a muffled voice.

He has been practicing Taoism for fifty years and has actually become an immortal.

His master, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, actually said that as long as Wen Zhong returned to Jiejiao, she could ensure Wen Zhong's safety.

But can Wen Zhong let go of the Shang Dynasty?

Can't let go!
So even if his strength is low, he has to give it a try!

"I'm not trying to persuade you, I just want to see how determined you are. Besides, you can't win." Sun Wukong said.

"I know, but I, Wen Zhong, am the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty. As long as I am alive, I will protect the Shang Dynasty." Wen Zhong said word by word.

"Not bad!" Sun Wukong nodded. "The Shang Dynasty still has some outstanding people."

"That's right, Master, you don't even look at who founded the Shang Dynasty." Kong Xuan said with a smile.

"Look at you, your tail is raised. Do you have the guts to protect the Shang Dynasty?" Sun Wukong glanced at Kong Xuan.

"No, no, Master, I was just joking." Kong Xuan said hurriedly.

It was their conversation that startled Wen Zhong.

"General Kong, you founded the Shang Dynasty? You are... Kong Xuan!"

Wen Zhong certainly knew that the general of Sanshan Pass was called Kong Xuan, but having the same name was not uncommon.

He only thought Kong Xuan was that fierce general, but at this moment...

"Kong Xuan? The son of Yuan Feng, the black bird gave birth to the Shang Dynasty!?" Jiang Ziya also lost his composure instantly. This is a weird person who respects the elderly!
Kong Xuan was a low-key person in the prehistoric world and rarely made moves. However, as the son of Yuan Feng and a quasi-sage, he was still very famous.

Moreover, Kong Xuan also participated in the establishment of the Shang Dynasty.

At this time, there was more respect in Wen Zhong's eyes when he looked at Kong Xuan, and he was no longer so wary of Sun Wukong.

If you really want to count, Kong Xuan is the ancestor of everyone in the Shang Dynasty.

"The Shang Dynasty can get help from my master. That is an opportunity for the Shang Dynasty. We must seize it." Kong Xuan suggested.

Whether it was Wen Zhong or Jiang Ziya, they were both extremely curious about Sun Wukong's identity at this moment.

Who is this person? Even Kong Xuan calls him Master. Could he be a saint?

But they also heard that Kong Xuan was proud and arrogant, and he might not bow down even if a saint appeared before him!
"I don't want to say more. It's been four years. The Shang Dynasty, or the current court of Chaoge, should have been cleared out by Shang Rong." Sun Wukong said lightly.

"Senior, Prime Minister Shang has stated that the court has been cleared." Wen Zhong said.

"Four years, it's just in time for you, Wen Zhong, to come back." Sun Wukong continued.

Wen Zhong was a little confused, but Sun Wukong didn't take over the conversation. He looked directly at Jiang Ziya: "The four years are up, and Cihang has also entered Chaoge. Have you made up your mind?"

Jiang Ziya's face turned serious: "Senior, no matter whether I, Jiang Ziya, become an immortal or a god, I will always put humanity first..."

"Even if you don't obey the orders of the Chan Sect, you still don't care? Yuanshi is not a big-minded person. If you don't listen to him, there will be no place for you in the Chan Sect." Sun Wukong smiled.

"Senior, this Jiang Ziya is a useless thing. He has practiced Taoism for forty years but hasn't even reached the immortal path. What's the point?" Wen Zhong glanced at Jiang Ziya with disdain in his eyes.

"Asshole! I haven't become an immortal for forty years because I don't have the talent. Otherwise..." Jiang Ziya blushed.

"Okay, okay, there's no point in explaining to me." Wen Zhong waved his hand.

Jiang Ziya was almost angry to death.

"Although Zi Ya failed to become an immortal, he has both literary and military skills and is a talented physiognomist. Moreover, he was born with special abilities and can be in charge of the List of Gods. It would be beneficial for the Shang Dynasty if he joined the Shang Dynasty," said Sun Wukong.

Jiang Ziya glanced at Wen Zhong and snorted coldly.

Wen Zhong stopped arguing.

There are conflicts between the two sects of Chan and Jie, so he can't stand Jiang Ziya.

He still knows the big things.

"Then Wen Zhong dares to ask, why does the senior want to help Shang?" Wen Zhong bowed.

Then he looked at Kong Xuan again.

Is it because of General Kong?

Kong Xuan laughed and said, "I'm not that bold. Some people want to use a mortal war to determine the change of human nature. If Zhou wins this battle, not only will the Shang Dynasty be destroyed, but it will also mean that the way of heaven has completely suppressed human nature. Humans will become playthings of immortals and gods."

Wen Zhong and Jiang Ziya's hearts sank suddenly.

The two men belonged to the Chan and Jie sects respectively, both of which had saints in charge and knew more secrets.

They still know about the three paths of heaven, earth and man.

But they only knew that Heaven wanted to destroy Shang, but they didn't expect that it was Heaven's will to suppress humanity.
