Then, look at Shen Gongpao!
Shen Gongpao looked dejected and dispirited. He was no longer as imposing as before.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and everything returned to normal. Only the stone table seemed to be somewhat damaged under the bombardment of the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire. The divine brick in the middle did not seem to be damaged at all.
Everyone looked at each other with an indescribable feeling on their faces!
This time, Shen Gongpao was going all out to break the divine brick. Although they did not say anything, most of them did not have confidence in the divine brick. However, no one expected that this seemingly ordinary broken brick would be so strong! Even Shen Gongpao's full-powered attack and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder were not damaged at all. Could it be that this was really made of a strange stone from the ancient times?
"Daoist Priest Shen, what other tricks do you have? Feel free to try them out and let us broaden our horizons.”Liu Anlang laughed.
Shen Gongpao shook his head in shame." I'm useless. I can't break this divine brick. But I will keep my promise and serve Great Shang for ten years."”
Liu An was happy to see Shen Gongpao suffer. It was like he had picked up a free labor.
Logically speaking, Shen Gongpao should have been working for Great Shang, so Liu An should not have made any losses or profits. However, it was much easier to do so willingly than to give orders. This was also Liu An's first victory in Great Shang.
"Daoist Priest Shen, don't be too bothered. This king is also a reasonable person. You still enjoy the treatment of a minister in Great Shang, and your status is similar to Fei Zhong.”Liu An said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Gongbao bowed and said," If you were reasonable, you could have completely canceled the bet just now and let me not have to suffer for ten years.
Although Shen Gongpao came here to use Great Shang to stop Jiang Ziya's great cause, even though winning or losing would not affect his plan, he was still a little unhappy.
Everyone returned to the main hall and continued to discuss the Western Expedition.
"Daoist Priest Shen has just arrived and isn't familiar with our Great Shang army. It's better to leave the great task of conquering the west to other generals.”Liu An said indifferently.
At this moment, no one dared to raise any objections.
Although Liu An had only taken out a brick before, this brick had already changed everyone's impression of Liu An. This was really a magical brick.
Huang Feihu and Chonghou Hu looked on with anticipation. Shen Gongpao, the most promising candidate, had been defeated. The final Great General of the Western Expedition would definitely be one of them.
"King Wucheng is leading the three armies and guarding Zhaoge. He really can't get away. I think it's better to leave the crusade against Xiqi to Hou Hu, Marquis Chong of the North.”Liu An asked the ministers after thinking about it.
Huang Feihu looked disappointed, while Chonghou Hu was happy.
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful. Marquis of the North is the best choice in terms of reputation and status.”Fei Zhong was the first to jump out and agree.
"Grand Preceptor Wen, what do you think?" Liu An asked.
Grand Preceptor Wen was an elder of the three dynasties and had an extremely high status. The most important thing was that he held the King Striking Whip in his hand. Liu An had just arrived, so it was inevitable that he had to give this old fellow some face.
"Marquis of North Bo is indeed a good candidate. This old minister has no objections.”Grand Preceptor Wen said honestly.
In fact, Grand Preceptor Wen was still leaning towards Huang Feihu. After all, Huang Feihu was an internal official and had a righteous aura. His political views were similar to his. However, since Liu An had made such a decision, he could not disobey.
Even Grand Preceptor Wen had agreed, and none of the officials dared to offend Liu An and Chonghou Hu. Everyone immediately agreed.
Therefore, Chonghou Hu became the Great General of the Western Expedition. He would lead the Zhaoge Army and his subordinates to attack Xiqi!
"If this matter can be properly resolved, the war will be resolved sooner and the lives of the people will be reduced. This is really a blessing for Great Shang, haha.”Liu Anlang laughed.
He smiled happily. He was relieved that the first court meeting he presided over had been successfully resolved. Moreover, Shen Gongpao had been his official for ten years. With Shen Gongpao's ability, he could easily resolve many of Liu An's problems.
Chonghou Hu and Liu An had carefully considered this choice.
Huang Feihu was loyal and loyal, but according to the historical plot, he still went to Xi Qi in the end. Although the plot had changed slightly, it was hard to guarantee that Huang Feihu would not be roped in by the old fox Ji Chang. At that time, not only would he lose Huang Feihu, but he would also lose his 100,000-strong army. It would be a double loss.
Although Chonghou Hu was not loyal to him, he was still loyal to him. Compared to Huang Feihu, Chonghou Hu was definitely more reliable.
However, Chonghou Hu had a younger brother, Chong Heihu. He had to be wary of this person. Not only did Chong Heihu kill his brother, but he also sought refuge in Xi Qi. However, now that the two brothers had a harmonious relationship, Liu An could not find an excuse to separate them. He could not tell Chonghou Hu that his brother was suspicious and would kill him in the future, right? In this way, people would not say anything because of their status, but they would also call him brainless and retarded in private.
The chaos in Xiqi had been temporarily resolved, and the atmosphere of the court meeting was much more relaxed. Seeing that Liu An was in a good mood, everyone spoke more boldly.
"Great King." An official boldly walked out.
"What's the matter?" Liu An didn't know this person, but he couldn't ask for his name directly, so he could only reply like this.
" Hehe, there was a rumor in Chaoge that Your Majesty got a divine brick by accident. It's really extraordinary. Your Majesty's divine brick is so powerful, but I don't know its name.”the minister asked.
Liu An shook his head and smiled." I only call it a brick. I really didn't give it a name. When I got this, the immortal didn't tell me its name. He just told me to ponder over it."”
"Your Majesty, why don't you give this divine brick a resounding name?”Huang Feihu laughed.
"That's right, Great King. It is a blessing for the people that our Great Shang obtained this divine brick. If we don't have a resounding name, it would be a waste of the divine brick.”Even the old Prime Minister Shang Rong came to join in the fun.
"Alright, then I'll give it a name.”Liu An replied immediately. He pondered for a moment and then made a decision,"Why don't we call it the Great Strength Invincible Salvation Divine Brick!”
