Chapter 152 (1/2)

Dynasty song, palace.

It is said that Lutai is three miles tall and thousands of feet high. It is very luxurious.

If Lu Chuan hears this, he will feel funny. A thousand feet is about 300 meters.

In his era with all kinds of advanced construction equipment and technology, there were not many 300 meter high buildings. How could the manpower in this era do it?

Besides, he came to Lutai.

The height of Lutai is about fifty or sixty meters, which is five times higher than the legendary three hundred meters.

rumor!

As long as some people with brains think a little, they all know that this is slander and rumor, but many ignorant people believe it.

Rumors spread more and become a fact.

However, the luxury of this Lutai is indeed rare in the world.

At this time, on the tallest building of Chaoge City, only king Zhou and Shen Gongbao stood in front of the railing.

The whole Chaoge city has a panoramic view at this time.

The bleak autumn wind blew around them, blowing their clothes and robes, looking bleak and lonely.

King Zhou turned his head and asked with a smile, ”national teacher, standing here, the whole dynasty song and even the whole world are in your eyes. How do you feel?”

Shen Gongbao thought and said slowly, ”lonely!”

”Kings are always lonely,” said King Zhou. ”Otherwise, why call themselves lonely?”

Shen Gongbao turned to him and said, ”king, you should answer my question.”

King Zhou said, ”why do you want to degenerate, indulge in wine and lust, and be cruel and unkind?”

Shen Gongbao nodded slightly.

”But Gu has never fallen.”

King Zhou asked, ”do you know what kind of country Gu took over seventeen years ago?”

”I'd like to hear it in detail!” Shen Gongbao road.

”It has lasted more than 580 years since the ancestor Tang, and it has been handed down to 30 kings.”

King Zhou said slowly, ”but have you heard of the rebellion of the ninth generation?”

Then his eyes turned to Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao was shocked when he heard the speech, and finally bowed his head and nodded gently.

The system of succession to the throne in the Shang Dynasty was a combination of ”father and son handed down” and ”brother and brother”.

That is, when the father died, the eldest son succeeded to the throne, and when the eldest son died, the second son succeeded to the throne until the youngest Prince needed to hand over the throne to the son of his eldest brother.

Because of their covetous desire for the throne, nine Shang kings refused to hand over the throne from Wang Zhongding to Yang Jia.

Therefore, in order to compete for the throne, the children of the royal families in this period launched a great civil war, which also led to the decline of the national strength of the Shang Dynasty.

So far, the princes no longer came to pay tribute to the king of Shang.

The rebellion of the ninth century lasted for nearly a hundred years, and it was not until the Shang king ”Pangeng moved to Yin” that it finally ended.

”After this hundred years of chaos, the national strength of the great merchants is not as strong as before. Although it has improved since then, the princes have paid tribute again, but in fact, there have been differences among the princes.”

King Zhou continued: ”before the tiger and wolf surrounded, what kind of country did you say Gu took over?”

Shen Gongbao was silent.

”An orphan father has three sons. An orphan is young. According to the ancestral instructions, the throne should be inherited by the eldest brother.”

King Zhou looked at Shen Gongbao and said, ”national teacher, why do you choose Gu as king even if you don't hesitate to disobey your father's teachings?”

”I see.”

Shen Gongbao gave a long sigh.

King Zhou's two brothers, the eldest brother, are weak in character. How can they keep the territory of big business under the eyes of tigers and wolves?

The second brother is brave and reckless. He is often said to have no brain. How can he fight those wily foxes?

Only the third son, the king of longevity, was talented and versatile. Therefore, Emperor B did not hesitate to disobey his ancestral teachings, but also put his hope on the third son.

”It was only after years of isolation that the power was cultivated, and only a king addicted to wine and sex would let them relax their vigilance.”
