Clearly, this king was trying to drive a wedge between the dukes that Ji Chang had roped in!
Marquis of Nan Bo, E Chongyu, Wen Zhong, and the others would never have thought that if any of the dukes were to reveal the people they knew in order to protect themselves, they would definitely become enemies with each other.
At that time, even if Xi Qi still had the intention of rebelling, how could he rope in these dukes who hated each other?
"This move is really fatal!”
Jiang Huanchu, E Chongyu, and the others could not help but sigh in their hearts.
The vassals waiting outside the palace didn't see the smile on Di Xin's face.
However, when they heard his words, they understood very well that this was clearly the last chance given by King Zhou!
After all, Su Hu was in the hall. Even if King Zhou was really angered by Ji Chang and could not remember who they were, he could ask Su Hu directly.
Why did he have to ask them to remind him?
After considering the key points, a minor duke quickly made up his mind and walked out from the four rows of dukes outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, I, Marquis West Sea Yang Cheng, know some secrets.”
The smile on Di Xin's face grew wider when he saw the first person who walked out.
The vassal of the West Sea was one of the 200 vassals of the West under Ji Chang's name.
Marquis West Sea, Yang Cheng, stepped forward and began to report the people who had been roped in by Ji Chang.
Many of the dukes outside the hall immediately cursed inwardly, but at the same time, they felt nervous.
Because it wasn't hard for them to imagine that the dukes whose names were pointed out by Marquis West Sea Yang Cheng would definitely end up worse than Ji Chang!
Taking back his fief and title was a light punishment!
"West Ocean's Zhongping Marquis Ji Shukang, West Ocean's Hui Ling Wang Boya, what other excuses do you have?”
When Di Xin named the person Yang Cheng had mentioned, the two dukes immediately collapsed to the ground in fear.
As for the others whose names were not called, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
But soon, the Imperial Army dragged away the two men who had not stepped forward, their faces filled with regret. The hearts of the dukes who had been roped in by Ji Chang tightened once more.
This was because they had already realized that if someone else were to beat them to it, they would be the ones to follow in the footsteps of the two dukes of the West Sea!
Especially with Marquis of West Sea Yang Cheng, who had also been close to Ji Chang, reporting that he had done a good job and was not punished by King Zhou, the eyes of these dukes immediately flickered.
In just a few moments, several small dukes rushed forward.
Seeing this situation, E Chongyu sighed in his heart.
Under this torment, the result of his old friend Ji Chang's many years of painstaking effort was probably greatly damaged.
Although he only knew about it, he could be considered a good friend of Ji Chang. Fortunately, this king did not find trouble with him at this time.
Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, and the other ministers also looked at Di Xin in amazement.
Ever since the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Sage had saved him, this king had been doing things that were beyond his expectations.
This time, even these old officials could not help but sigh in admiration at the punishment of these hundreds of dukes!
Originally, Wen Zhong also knew that many of these small dukes had been roped in by Ji Chang.
However, in his opinion, with so many dukes being roped in by Ji Chang, even as the ruler of Great Shang, he couldn't easily make a move against these people.
The best way was to take down Marquis Xi, one of the four great dukes. At that time, the dukes that Ji Chang had roped in would naturally not dare to act rashly.
However, he didn't expect that Di Xin would use a tactic to drive a wedge between these dukes who were close to Ji Chang.
They would use the dukes who had switched sides to Great Shang to deal with another group of people.
Such an emperor's mind was truly shocking!
This caused many of the officials and dukes to look at him with a hint of respect.
Di Xin instantly sensed the changes in these officials and dukes.
This was because he realized that the merit he had obtained from the Yellow Emperor Scripture had suddenly increased by quite a bit.
"5,000 merit points!"
Sensing this, Di Xin smiled in his heart.
These dukes were all in charge of their own fiefs and subjects. The merit that their "hearts" could provide was much more than that of ordinary people.
