Entering the Investiture of the Gods, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thund
Chapter 266 Deep Gratitude, Self-Immolation at the Star-Picking Tower!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
"We are three demons from the Xuanyuan Tomb in Chaoge. We were sent by the Goddess Nuwa to wreak havoc on the Shang Dynasty. We have kept this a secret for a long time and beg for forgiveness!"
Hu Yu'er recounted her origins, saying that everyone's heart is made of flesh and blood, and that the word "love" is the hardest to sever in this world.
Di Xin treated them very well. They spent every day together, and even though the three of them were as hard as iron, he warmed their hearts.
"The Goddess Nuwa?"
"Alas, lust is a knife hanging over one's head!"
Upon hearing this, Di Xin's face darkened. The reason for everything stemmed from offering incense at the Nuwa Temple.
"The three of you have already fulfilled your destiny; now is the time to retire gracefully. Why do you still venture here alone into danger?"
After a moment of silence, Di Xin looked at the three demons.
Unexpectedly, his bedmate turned out to be an enemy spy, and Di Xin was now truly surrounded by enemies.
"Your Majesty is a ruler, and a true hero!"
"If you perish on the battlefield, the three of us will not live on in disgrace either. That is why we have come here to assist Your Majesty."
Hu Yu'er and the others did not have a change of heart; they were simply following the orders of the Goddess Nuwa, and dared not disobey.
The three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb had no choice.
"Why are you doing this!"
"You three must leave this place immediately!"
"Once this matter is resolved, you three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb will also be able to attain the golden body and true enlightenment!"
"This is all my own fault!"
"I do hope that the three of you will leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, so that we may not have to meet again!"
Di Xin waved his hand and then spoke to the three demons.
"Your Majesty!"
"How could I bear to leave you!"
"Your Majesty has always treated us with deep affection and loyalty; how could the three of us bear to leave you now!"
"We, the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, have no right to refuse the imperial decree of the Goddess Nuwa!"
"However, the three of us have the right to choose death, and we are willing to live and die with Your Majesty!"
The three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb have fallen in love, and now they are willing to die for Emperor Xin!
The three of them were deeply moved and burst into tears again.
"Ah, the kindness of a beautiful woman is immense!"
"Now that the Shang dynasty is doomed, I am powerless to reverse its fate. So be it, I shall relinquish this kingdom!"
"The kindness shown to me by this beauty is immense; I cannot leave it unreturned!"
"If the three of you flee to Chaoge and leave this place of trouble, I might fight a desperate battle!"
"Even an emperor has his own way of dying!"
"To die on the battlefield is the highest honor for a king. Even in death, I, the king, will die standing!"
"Even if you're a cornered beast fighting desperately, if you want to destroy the Shang Dynasty, I will kill you until you tremble with fear!"
At this moment, Di Xin was extremely unrestrained, and he had no more scruples. In the end, he would only face death.
Unexpectedly, his words terrified the allied forces of the feudal lords, demonstrating his terrifying nature.
"Ji Fa, you brat!"
"This ancestral legacy, I'll let you have it all!"
"However, even an emperor has his own way of dying!"
"How can I, the king, be subjected to swords and spears before my death? Know that being decapitated is not in accordance with the dignity of an emperor."
"This empire of Cheng Tang, I hereby bestow upon you!"
"I will accompany my three beloved concubines to the Star-Picking Tower in Chaoge, where I will find a more dignified way to die."
After Emperor Xin finished speaking, he led his army to retreat.
In Chaoge City, atop the Star-Picking Tower.
Emperor Xin, accompanied by three demons, attended the event in full regalia. Emperor Xin was dressed in a royal robe and held a jade tablet, sitting upright in the building.
The three demons standing to the side were also dressed in their finest attire.
At the foot of the Star-Picking Tower, Zhu Sheng piled up firewood, then tearfully bid farewell, bowing deeply to Di Xin and the others.
"Your subject, Zhu Sheng, bids farewell to Your Majesty!"
But we see:
Fires begin to rise beneath the Star-Picking Tower, while smoke billows like dark clouds in the wind.
Today, the Shang dynasty collapsed, and Zhu Shengyuan committed suicide out of unwavering loyalty.
Zhu Sheng lit a fire and set off the dry firewood downstairs.
In an instant, smoke and clouds filled the sky, the wind howled and the fire raged, and everyone in the six palaces screamed, and the world was plunged into darkness.
When Zhu Sheng saw the Star-Picking Tower ablaze, he threw himself into the fire; Di Xin, accompanied by three demons, sat upright on the Star-Picking Tower.
Seeing the fire raging downstairs, flames shooting into the sky, he couldn't help but exclaim, "How can one not yearn for such a land!"
"I deeply regret my past actions; I did not heed loyal advice. Now, I have burned myself to death at the Star-Picking Tower, and my death is not worth regretting!"
"It's a pity that after my death, I will have no face to meet the late king in the afterlife!"
"The Shang dynasty fell into my hands!"
Eight hundred feudal lords paid homage to Zhou, and the fate of the world turned westward. The Great Zhou Dynasty was promoted to imperial power, and the Great Shang Dynasty had no chance of recovery.
Of course, Di Xin was also aware of this!
The Great Shang Dynasty still has 200,000 soldiers ready to fight, but this battle is destined to be lost!
Continuing the fight will only add to the bloodshed!
Human dynasties are founded on destiny and vie for legitimacy. Now that destiny has been lost, defeat is only a matter of time.
At that time, the three demons attached themselves to him, and Emperor Xin had nowhere to turn.
Only then did he willingly withdraw his troops, handing over the Shang dynasty to King Wu Ji Fa, and then immolating himself on the Zhaixing Tower.
"Your Majesty!"
"Since things have come to this, try to calm down for now!"
The three demons offered words of comfort, and after listening, Di Xin embraced them again, cuddling them tenderly for a long time.
"He loved beauty more than power!"
"In this life, I, the lonely king, am fortunate to have won the favor of three beauties. Even if I die, I will have no regrets in this life!"
"In the next life, I will surely not let you three down!"
The four looked at each other and held hands, tears welling up in their eyes.
In their youth, on the Star-Picking Tower, flames roared and endless fire erupted, and the four of them immediately perished together.
On the Star-Picking Tower, flames soared into the sky, and four spirits went straight to the Investiture of the Gods.
When Di Xin saw that all was lost, he set himself on fire at the Zhaixing Tower and surrendered the vast empire of the Shang Dynasty.
After Emperor Xin set himself on fire, Ziya led a million-strong allied army to attack Chaoge. Soon after, the city gates of Chaoge were opened wide.
Fei Lian and E Lai present the military tally and the imperial seal!
Then, imperial guards offered water, flowers, and incense to welcome him. King Wu's carriage led the way and entered the Nine-Room Hall.
Seeing that the palace was ablaze, Jiang Ziya ordered his generals and soldiers: "After you enter Chaoge, extinguish the fires in the city first, and do not wantonly commit further killings!"
"Good, good, good!"
"King Zhou was tyrannical and cruel to all living beings!"
"Now that the army has entered the city, we must not harm the innocent, lest we tarnish the reputation of this million-strong allied army!"
King Wu, Ji Fa, spoke and issued his orders.
Without further ado, the group arrived at the foot of the Star-Picking Tower.
The Star-Picking Tower before us has long since turned into scorched earth, with embers still burning and smoke yet to be extinguished.
"All the palaces and mansions have turned to dust!"
"When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer. When a dynasty falls, the people suffer."
Seeing this scene, Xin Huan couldn't help but sigh.
Throughout history, the rise and fall of dynasties has always been marked by the endless corpses that pave the way to the throne.
"The remains in the palace must be buried immediately. If left exposed in the open, they may breed plague and endanger the people!"
King Wu, Ji Fa, pointed to the corpses scattered all over the ground and gave orders to his generals to give them a proper burial.
"Your Majesty!"
"What should be done with King Zhou's remains?"
Ziya looked at Ji Fa. Now that Ji Fa had ascended to the throne, how to properly bury King Zhou was also a major matter!
"I have acquired this empire, and I am bound by its destiny!"
"Emperor Xin was a great merchant king in life, and even in death he is known as a valiant ghost. How can his remains be left exposed in the wilderness!"
"Even an emperor has his own way of dying!"
"Even in his death, King Zhou possessed such integrity!"
"How could I, the king, be outdone by Emperor Xin!"
"By my decree, Emperor Xin shall be buried with the rites due to an emperor. Under no circumstances shall the propriety of an emperor be neglected!"
Ji Fa inherited the Shang dynasty from Emperor Xin and, seeing such integrity, treated him with courtesy.
not to mention!
Although Emperor Xin is dead, his spirit is on the list!
When Ziya bestows titles upon the gods and Di Xin receives a divine position, who knows, one day they might come to him for help.
For both reason and emotion, Ji Fa dared not be disrespectful!
