Jiang Ziya is in charge of conferring gods, so why did he confer the title of "Broom Star" on his wife?

Jiang Ziya (1156 BC ~ 1017 BC) was the strategist of King Wen and King Wu of Zhou who destroyed Shang Zhou. He was a famous military strategist in history and was known as the originator of military strategists. Because the fiefdom was in Ludi (now west of Nanyang, Henan), he was also called Lushang.

Jiang Ziya was a late bloomer. When he was fishing on the Weishui River at the age of 72, he was discovered by King Wen of Zhou who was thirsty for talents. By talking about the current situation, King Wen discovered that Jiang Shang had unique insights and a keen perspective. So I developed a feeling of admiration for him.

King Wen asked Jiang Ziya to help him. The two cherished each other and regretted meeting each other so late, just like Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang in history.

The 72-year-old Jiang Ziya asked the 68-year-old King Wen of Zhou to carry him on his back. Ziya put him down when he said he couldn’t carry it anymore, and then asked his son (King Wu of Zhou) to pull him away in a cart until he pulled him away. Until it stops.

King Wen of Zhou carried Jiang Ziya for 48 steps, and his son pulled Jiang Ziya in a cart for 808 steps. Jiang Ziya said to King Wen: "Your Zhou Dynasty can only produce 48 emperors, and it has a power of 808 years." ?Of course these are all legends, but from the side it shows that Jiang Ziya is a great person.

Since Jiang Ziya is so awesome, why did he remain silent and even a little embarrassed when he was young? It turns out that it was his wife Ma Zhaodi who killed Kefu.

Jiang Ziya’s wife’s name is Ma Zhaodi, who is 5 years younger than Ziya. The person looks pretty good. When Ziya was young, he killed pigs, slaughtered cattle, did business, and farmed. Let's put it this way: I did all the seventy-two things, but I lost money every time I did them.

For example, he bought a group of sheep and planned to make money when the market went up. As a result, the market for cattle increased and the market for sheep fell.

Ziya hurriedly sold the sheep at a loss and used the funds to buy cattle. Unexpectedly, after buying the cattle, the sheep market picked up again. After repeating this several times, Jiang Ziya finally ended up losing money and making a profit. Jiang Ziya left a joke when doing business: sheep and cattle are more expensive, cattle and sheep are more expensive, cattle and sheep are more expensive than chickens?

Ziya lost everything in business, and his wife Ma Zhaodi said: "You are not made for business, why don't you go farming?" Don't think that Ziya can make money by farming. Crops grow well in other people's fields, but no seedlings grow in his fields.

Mr. Ma saw that it was impossible to live this life. When will it stop following the poor man? Ma forced Ziya to write a letter of divorce and divorce herself. Ziya tried his best to save the marriage and said to Ma: "Honey, don't leave me, I will give you glory and wealth."

Ma said disdainfully: "You are almost 70, do you still have a chance of prosperity?" ?.

Ma Shi ignored Ziya’s plea and left without looking back.

The second year after Ma left Ziya, Ziya was worshiped as marshal of the three armies by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. From then on, he embarked on a smooth career.

After years of hard work and countless hardships, Ziya helped King Wen to conquer merchants and King Wu to destroy Zhou, establishing the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for more than 800 years.

Ziya was named the Crown Prince and Grand Master for his meritorious service, and his position of high authority reached the pinnacle of his life.

One day, his ex-wife Ma suddenly came to the door, crying and wanting to remarry Ziya. It turned out that Mrs. Ma had been having a hard time in recent years. After leaving Ziya, she married a wealthy businessman. Who knew that not long after she married, the businessman's investment business failed one after another, and he was heavily in debt and finally hanged himself.

As you can see, whoever Ma marries will be unlucky. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a lost star.

Jiang Ziya thought to himself: "You didn't accompany me when I was down and out, but now that I am prosperous and rich, you are here? If I had known now, why bother at the beginning!"

Ziya wanted to reject Ma directly, but thinking that Ma was very mean to her in the past and wanted to humiliate her, she picked up a basin of water and poured it on the ground. He said to Ma: "If you can put away the water, we will remarry." Ma lay down and hurriedly collected it into the basin with his hands. As you can imagine, what else did he collect besides collecting some mud?

Mr. Ma was so ashamed that she walked away in despair.

What this incident tells us: Don’t bully young people into being poor. Being poor is not a problem. What is wrong is not working hard. For Ziya, who has lived for 139 years, turning 70 has just begun.

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was given new responsibilities by Yuanshi Tianzun? Responsible for the affairs of conferring gods, and he was given a whip to beat the gods.

Ziya only conferred the title of god on his behalf. Yuanshi Tianzun once said to him: "You are not lucky enough to have a short life. You can only enjoy the wealth and honor of the world, but you cannot become an immortal or a god."

It turned out that Ziya still wanted to be the Jade Emperor, but when his master told him, he gave up the idea, and then made Zhang Youren the Jade Emperor.

Seeing that the Conferring of Gods was coming to an end, a burst of crying suddenly came. Ziya looked around and saw that it was Ma's soul that came to the door. It turned out that Mr. Ma's proposal to remarry was unsuccessful. When he returned home and faced the deserted surroundings, he felt that life was boring, so he committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam like her husband.

Mr. Ma begged Ziya to give her a title for the sake of the couple’s friendship. She also wanted to be a god. When Ziya checked the roster, she found that “Broom Star” had not been given the title yet. , so he made his ex-wife Ma Zhaodi the broom star. From then on, all bad things happened to the Ma family, and she became a veritable "Mourning Star".
