In the Fire Cloud Cave, the Flame Emperor Shennong looked at the human world with a sentimental expression. Ever since they obtained the fruit position, they were not qualified to participate in the world's general trend even though they were the Three Holy Emperors of the human race.
Only Nüwa had dealings with them. The other innate gods looked down on them and even ostracized them.
Even Xuanyuan felt extremely regretful now. He felt that he shouldn't have schemed against the Flame Emperor.
However, the Flame Emperor did not care about these things. He was unwilling to let the humans become pawns that the mighty figures could control at will. He could not even control his own future.
Therefore, when a voice told him to stop the trend of becoming a god and lead the human race to independence and prosperity, the Flame Emperor created a clone and gave it to him without thinking.
Although the connection between him and this clone was cut off after that, he could still vaguely sense what his clone was doing.
This made him feel at ease.
He didn't tell Xuanyuan about this matter. Xuanyuan was too materialistic. If he knew, he might not do anything.
Ji Chang, Marquis of the West, received news that Marquis Hu, Marquis Chong of the North, had been stripped of his title. Furthermore, King Zhou did not appoint a successor and even threw out the system of prefectures and counties.
This made him realize that King Zhou might want to make some major changes. If this step was successful, the next step would probably be to remove his and the other two dukes 'titles.
"We must not let King Zhou succeed." This was the only thought in Marquis of the West's mind.
Marquis of the West was an extremely hypocritical person. The so-called prison was just a law that he implemented. If one person was guilty, it would bring disaster to the entire family. Therefore, those who committed crimes would not leave easily.
Otherwise, no one would be so stupid as to draw a circle and stand still.
Moreover, if Yin Shou didn't come to this world and Bo Yikao didn't come to save him, and Bo Yikao was made into a meatball by King Zhou for Ji Chang to eat, Ji Chang was proficient in the Eight Trigrams and had deduced the sixty-four hexagrams from the Eight Trigrams, how could he not know that he was eating his own son?
However, in order to survive, he could eat it without changing his expression.
Just as Ji Chang was thinking about how to deal with this, Jiang Huanchu, Marquis of Dong Bo, and E Chongyu, Marquis of Nan Bo, arrived together.
"Marquis of the West, we can't just sit and wait for death.”
E Chongyu said anxiously.
"Yes, King Zhou wants to take away our titles. We definitely can't let him implement the county system.”Jiang Huanchu said solemnly.
"We can test King Zhou's attitude first. If it doesn't work, we have to make plans early.”
Ji Chang said after some consideration.
This matter was not a bad thing for him. He had long been disloyal. If this matter could be confirmed, he could pull E Chongyu and Jiang Huanchu to rightfully rebel.
Yin Shou and Shang Rong Bigan were discussing the specific implementation method of the prefecture and county system. These two people clearly had more experience in this aspect.
"Your Majesty, Marquis of the West, Marquis of the South, and Marquis of the East have come to request an audience.”
"What should have come has come." Bi Gan said with a frown.
"They will have to face it sooner or later. They can't just sit and wait for death.”As an old fox, Shang Rong naturally knew what these people were thinking.
"Let them in." Yinshou said as he put away the map in front of him and sat on the throne. Shang Rong and Bi Gan retreated to the ground and stood respectfully.
"Your Majesty, please retract your order. Although Hou Hu and Hou Chong were in the wrong, they can find someone to replace them. Why would Your Majesty implement the so-called county system? Isn't this a waste of money and manpower?"
E Chongyu said righteously.
"Oh? Why was it a waste of manpower and money? I want to hear it." Yinshou said nonchalantly as he looked at the three people below who were charging with imposing auras.
"This…" E Chongyu didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, the title of nobility is hereditary. How can Your Majesty take it away just like that? What will the other dukes think? His Majesty's actions would definitely cause panic and the entire Great Shang would not be at peace.”
Jiang Huanchu threatened.
"Are you threatening me?" Yinshou sneered.
"I dare not." Although Jiang Huanchu said that, his tone was firm.
"Your Majesty, although the prefecture and county system is good, it doesn't conform to the current situation. I hope Your Majesty can retract your order.”
Ji Chang finally spoke.
"Look, this is the Marquis of the West who loves his people like his own children. He keeps saying that he is doing it for the people, but now that the prefecture system is implemented, he no longer cares about his people.”
Yinshou pointed at Ji Chang and mocked.
Shang Rong and Bi Gan also looked at Ji Chang when they heard this. In their eyes, Ji Chang was a truly benevolent person. They thought that among the three of them, only Ji Chang would support the prefecture and county system. They didn't expect that they were jackals of the same feather.
Ji Chang's position in Shang Rong and Bi Gan's hearts dropped rapidly.
Yin Shou knew that he had achieved his goal when he saw their expressions. Otherwise, his minister would have been confused by Ji Chang's benevolence and righteousness on the surface. In the future, when he dealt with matters, his hands would be tied.
At this moment, Ji Chang could not care so much. At this moment, he had to stand up. Firstly, it would be best if he could stop King Zhou from implementing the prefecture and county system.
Even if he couldn't stop them, he would at least stand up and express his stance. At that time, he would have a reason to pull E Chongyu and Jiang Huanchu together to rebel.
Ji Chang was extremely crafty. Every decision he made would benefit him the most.
