According to the lineage of the Shang Dynasty, Shang Rong was not an outsider, but a descendant of Cheng Tang, a member of the nobility and an important minister among the elders of the Three Dynasties. He is highly respected and acts calmly.

Throughout the entire big business empire in Zhou Wang's period, only Shang Rong and Wen Taishi were able to hold the title of three dynasties elders. Of course, although Shang Rong is the aura of princes and nobles, he is a veteran of the three dynasties, but his position in the palace of the big business empire is not less than that of Wen Taishi, who is known as the anchor of the sea. Therefore, every time he sees Master Wen, he calls himself "humble", which is really not modest and low-key!

Although I can't compare with Master Wen, Shang Rong's talent has been recognized by his grandfather Zhou Wang, his father Zhou Wang and Zhou Wang, who just took charge of the world. Coupled with his advanced age, he finally ascended the throne of the prime minister of the great commercial empire, in charge of the rites and music of the great commercial empire.

Although Zhou Wang inherited a great position, he became the king of a big business empire. It seems that no one in the world can compare with him. But Shang Rong knew that at this time, Zhou Wang was trapped by the troubles of being king.

What's bothering Zhou Wang? What bothers me is "I hear that there is a teacher, and the martial arts are yellow." Ladies and gentlemen, let's not take this sentence as a compliment to Master Wen and Huang's literary talent and martial arts. That's because he lamented that although he was the king, he had no real power in his hand and euphemistically expressed his inner dissatisfaction.

So let's see if Zhou Wang is the nominal king of Shang at this time. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, how to understand "the great event of a country lies in respect and honor"?

During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the major policies at the national level were actually two things: one was foreign war, and the other was offering sacrifices to the gods. Under normal circumstances, it must be the head of a country, that is, Zhou Wang, to dominate these two things. If you can't dominate, you will become the puppet king of the big business empire.

But Zhou Wang had little to do with these two things during his first seven years in charge of this big business empire. In terms of "sacrifice", Zhou Wang, who claims to be the god of the world, has no interest in sacrificing other gods at all; And "Rong" in this respect, Zhou Wang is very interested, but the basic deployment of the Shang Dynasty war has nothing to do with him, and all this is decided by Arvin's surname!

Do you still remember when the Chinese mage appeared for the first time in Romance of the Gods? After leading the troops to the North Sea to put down the rebellion, the winning team returned to North Korea.

Later, King Ping Ling of the East China Sea rebelled, Master Wen exchanged views with Huang, and then went out to work, making him look like an outsider.

But there was nothing Zhou Wang could do. After all, Wen Shi is a client-servant left by Dad and his teacher. Therefore, even if Wen monopolizes the state affairs in the name of a surname, although there are flaws in the process, people are also trying to stabilize the country with a big business empire, and it is not good to fight with him for a while.

There is a good saying: the yellow emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry. This "eunuch" is the official in charge of rites and music. Chun Yuwen didn't hand over the national government to him, but he was anxious.

Why is Shang Rong in a hurry? Because Shang Tang's blood, just like Zhou Wang's, flows in his body. There is not a saying that "the emperor is close to the country." Since it belongs to your own family, you can't turn your elbows out.

So Shang Yang began to think of ways to help Zhou Wang become the real king of this big business empire. After some thinking, Shang Rong decided not to start with "honor" and set an example with the "sacrifice" he was in charge of.

When Master Wen led the army to counter the rebellion, Shang Rong kindly advised him to go to the Nuwa Palace to worship, thus completing the task of returning the right to sacrifice. I have to say, Shang Rong wanted to take advantage of Wenzhong's departure from the DPRK to return to Zhou Wang, to transfer the right to sacrifice to reality, and to push Zhou Wang to the position of the real Shang king step by step. With this good intention, he is worthy of the title of "Great Sage in the Last Years of Shang Dynasty"!

Why did Shang Yang choose Zhou Wang to worship Nuwa? Because Nu Wa Niangniang is not only the "God of protecting the country and benefiting the people", but also the patron saint of the great business empire when Zhou Wang didn't desecrate her.

Zhou Wang also knew that Shang Rong's move was a transfer of power, so he adopted Shang Rong's suggestion. As a result, at the time of worship, Zhou Wang made a big mistake that he regretted, that is, on the painted wall of Nuwa Palace, he personally wrote obscene poems that desecrated and angered Nuwa Empress, and later clash of the titans.

It was this unforgivable mistake that led to the instant collapse of the great business empire!

I wonder if Shang Rong, as the initiator, ever regretted it. It was his own kindness that turned it into a bad thing, triggered the organs of the Shang Dynasty and destroyed the ancestral business of the great commercial empire for more than 500 years!

Later, Shang Rong saw Zhou Wang's debauchery and cruelty, and for the sake of the stability of the big business empire, he exhorted Zhou Wang. However, Zhou Wang not only disliked him, but also offered himself the post of Prime Minister.

Shang Rong saw that Zhou Wang was so enterprising that he didn't listen to his old man's house, but his painstaking efforts had no effect. Seeing Zhou Wang hopeless and disheartened, Shang Rong resigned and hid in Taihang Mountain to avoid disaster.

What was the final outcome of Shang Rong? The answer given in The Romance of Gods is that because Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were sent by Zhou Wang to kill them, Shang Rong, who was indignant, came out of the mountain and returned to Chao Ge to give an account to the two princes.

As a result, Zhou Wang still didn't listen to him, but in anger, he chose to hit the dragon column and die.

Is the real ending of Shang Rong like that described in The Romance of Gods? The answer is no. Although Shang Rong was not respected and valued by Zhou Wang, he was a rare treasure in the world in the eyes of the King of Western Qi.

So, after Wu Wang destroyed Shang Jianzhou, he wanted to invite Shang to melt out of the mountain and make him three fairs. However, Shang Rong did not accept the kindness of King Wu and continued to choose to live in seclusion in Taihang Mountain. ...

Although he didn't ask for business ability, King Wu won the reputation of "Business Ability of King Wu"!
