I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 612 Let the Lord of the World Be a Tool Man

1594 BC.

April.

Xia Houjie, the former co-lord of the Divine Land, brought his wife, concubine and children to Haiyang City.

Jie is not Xia Houjie's original destiny.

He was the surname of Si, first name Gui, the son of Emperor Fa, and Jie was his posthumous title, so he was called Xia Jie in history.

After Emperor Fa's death, Jie succeeded to the throne of the Xia Dynasty.

He is the first subjugated king in history who bears the name of mediocrity, and his concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, Meixi, is also the first queen to bear the name of beauty and disaster.

It is of course nonsense to say that Xia Jie is a faint king and Meixi is a confidante.

Xia Jie's guilt is that he lost the battle with Cheng Tang for supremacy.

As a loser and the former co-lord of the world, if Xia Jie was not a sinful and stupid person, Cheng Tang would have no valid reason to seize hegemony.

After all, Xia Jie is the co-lord of the world, Cheng Tang is Xia Jie's subject, and Cheng Tang's resistance to Xia Jie belongs to the following.

Today Cheng Tang can defeat Xia Jie, and tomorrow other princes can defeat Cheng Tang and his descendants.

Therefore, in order to have the legitimacy of the following restraints, Cheng Tang must belittle and smear Xia Jie, so that he has the legitimacy to replace Xia Jie.

It is also for the same reason that King Zhou became the second king of subjugation to bear the name of fatuousness, and Daji became the second queen to bear the name of beauty and trouble.

If King Zhou was not fatuous and innocent, there would be no justification for Western Zhou's subjugation of the emperor, and other princes could also subdue the emperor of Zhou.

When Jie was in power, the princes no longer came to congratulate him.

Xia Wang's internal affairs were not repaired, and foreign troubles continued.

As the co-lord of the world, in order to consolidate his authority, Xia Jie had to crusade against those princes who opposed him.

The Mengshan Kingdom with the Shi clan is a big tribe against Xia Houjie, and Meixi is the princess with the Shi clan.

Xia Jie conquered the Youshi clan, not only made the Youshi clan surrender, but also got the princess Meixi of the Youshi clan as his concubine.

There are poems praising Yuxi's beauty - there is Shi Yuxi, with clear eyebrows.Dressed in colorful clothes, graceful and graceful.Crystal rain and dew, the pity of people.

Judging from the first half of Xia Jie's life, he is undoubtedly a hero who expanded his territory and embraced beautiful women.

It's a pity that Xia Jie met Cheng Tang who was stronger than him in the second half of his life.

While Xia Jie conquered the princes to expand the territory, Cheng Tang also annexed the princes to strengthen himself.

Moreover, Xia Jie is the co-lord of the world. In order to suppress the resistance of the princes, Xia Jie's attitude is naturally hostile to the princes.

Therefore, Cheng Tang can unite with other princes to attack Xia Jie.

Finally, in the Battle of Mingtiao, Xia Jie became a lost dog who fled in a hurry, and came to Youchao Country to live a life under the fence of others.

The temporary palace of Haiyang City.

Athenian style banquet hall.

Luo Yi sat on a wooden throne and summoned Xia Houjie and his family.

Xia Houjie walked into the hall with a group of his wives, concubines and children, and Luo Yi immediately widened his eyes in surprise.

Because Xia Houjie, who appeared in front of Luo Yi, was clearly a middle-aged man, but his appearance was already that of a terminally ill old man with gray hair.

Looks like the walking dead.

Although Xia Houjie's body is still alive, his heart is already dead.

Xia Houjie's wife, Meixi, lived up to her reputation as a confidante.

Although she is over 30 years old, she still has the beauty and charm of a peerless beauty.

Xia Houjie's concubines are also rare beauties.

Xia Houjie has more than a dozen children, and the daughter who is by Meixi's side is the most beautiful, inheriting Meixi's charming figure and face, and is obviously the daughter of Xia Houjie and Meixi.

Seeing that Xia Houjie and his family did not intend to salute him, Luo Yi took the initiative to tease.

"Queen Xia! I am the emperor of the Athens Empire. Even if you are still the co-lord of the Kyushu, you are only the lord of a small country in front of me. Now you are neither the co-lord of the world, nor do you have your own territory and subjects. Why are you here?" So rude in front of me? Do you still think you are the co-lord of the world?"

Xia Jie looked at Luo Yi on the throne calmly and said.

"If you want to kill, kill."

It's okay to die, but not polite-this is Xia Jie's attitude.

As the co-lord of the world, only others have ever saluted Xia Jie, and Xia Jie has never saluted others.

If Xia Jie is willing to let go of his pride as the co-lord of the world and submit to Cheng Tang, he will never end up in the current situation.

In the war between Xia Jie and Cheng Tang, Xia Jie also defeated Cheng Tang and imprisoned Cheng Tang in Xiatai.

Cheng Tang swears in front of Xia Jie that he sincerely repents and swears to be loyal to Xia Jie to the death, and Xia Jie gives Cheng Tang a chance to be a new man.

With this past incident, as long as Xia Jie submits to Cheng Tang, Cheng Tang will definitely allow Xia Jie to sit in the kingdom of princes to repay Xia Jie's past kindness.

Even if Cheng Tang wanted to kill Xia Jie in his heart, he had to show it to the princes of the world.

After all, if Cheng Tang didn't even repay Xia Jie for his life-saving grace, it would definitely make the princes renounced.

After Xia Jie fled to Youchao country with his family, Cheng Tang didn't pursue Xia Jie because he didn't want to face Xia Jie.

If Cheng Tang wanted to kill them all, Youchao would neither have the strength to fight against Cheng Tang, nor would he make huge sacrifices for Jie Xia.

Of course, Luo Yi had no intention of humiliating Xia Jie.

Xia Jie's reluctance to bow his head to Luo Yi did not affect Luo Yi's use of Xia Jie.

"Queen Xia! Your country of Xia worships the goddess of the earth, and our Athenian empire also worships the goddess of the earth. This shows that the Athenian empire and the country of Xia have the same ancestors. Now the kingdom of Shang, who worships the sun god, has stolen the power of the world's co-lord. I want to defeat Shang. China conquers Kyushu, are you willing to help me?"

help you?
Xia Jie rolled his eyes directly.

For Xia Jie, he is the master of the world.

Cheng Tang is a traitor and traitor, and Luo Yi, who wants to replace Cheng Tang, is of course a traitor.

But compared with Cheng Tang, Luo Yi is obviously not the mortal enemy in Xia Jie's eyes.

If Roy can be used to break the dream of becoming the co-lord of the Tang Dynasty——

Thinking of the scene where Cheng Tang lost everything like himself, Xia Jie felt that he could wake up from a dream with a smile.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Cheng Tang has now taken away Dayu Jiuding and become the co-lord of the world! If I conquer Kyushu as a foreign invader, Cheng Tang can call on the princes to unite against me and increase the casualties of Athens soldiers. So in order to weaken Cheng Tang's strength , I plan to use your former co-lord of the world to attack Chengtang. This war has become a battle for hegemony between the former co-lord of the world and the current co-lord of the world. The princes will definitely not want to be involved in this war. Whether Hou Jie became the co-lord of the world, or Cheng Tang became the co-lord of the world, the power of the co-lord of the world does not fall to other princes."

"You want me to be your puppet—"

Xia Jie suppressed his anger and asked.

"I helped you become the co-lord of the world, how do you plan to repay me? My request is not high, as long as you can restore me to Xiaguo—"

"no!"

Roy shook his head and said.

"I will not help you restore the Xia Kingdom! Because under the rule of the Athens Empire, the vassal states and nobles in the mainland of China will disappear, and the slavery system will also be abolished. Everyone will become citizens of the Athens Empire and enjoy equal status and that power."

"How is this possible?"

Xia Houjie said in disbelief.

"The princes and nobles are all descendants of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Without them to assist you, how can you defeat Cheng Tang, and how can you make the princes of the world return to their hearts?"
