After Fang Tianhua returned to the Eastern Hua Prefecture, he immediately contacted the nobles of the various prefectures to gather.
There were only four Immortal Kings among the nine marquises in the Eastern Nine States. The other five were all Immortal Lords, but each marquis had considerable power in their state.
Even if they didn't have the strength of an Immortal King, the families behind them were all giants in the state.
The establishment of the Six Fan School had given these local aristocratic families a huge impact. Their style was extremely tough. Once they found evidence, they would directly arrest and punish them without any mercy.
The eastern part was where Xianling Sect was located, so the local forces of the Nine Provinces did not have the capital to fight openly. They could only make moves in the dark.
The fall of the old forces would inevitably be replaced by new forces. These new forces were supported by the court and the Six Fan School, which had a huge impact on the division of local forces.
If these forces wanted to develop and grow, they had to follow in the footsteps of the court and the Six Fan School to annex other aristocratic families. Otherwise, they would also be suppressed by the court and the Six Fan School.
Under the guidance of Xianling Sect, the sects and powers joined forces with the imperial court and began to suppress the local powers in the east. These local powers were suffering.
Now that Fang Tianhua had contacted the other marquises to gather, the other marquises were excited and moved.
At the same time, the Immortal King experts of the sects and powers also secretly gathered in the Hua Prefecture along with the actions of these Nobles.
Several days later, these Nobles hurried through the night and arrived at Fang Tianhua's residence.
In the huge reception hall, the nine marquises sat on both sides, while Fang Tianhua sat high up in the main seat.
Fang Tianhua sighed in his heart as he looked at the excited marquises.
"A wise man understands the times. Don't blame me!”
"Everyone, I'm sure everyone is clear that I've gathered everyone here today to discuss how to resolve our current unfavorable situation!”Fang Tianhua shouted at the crowd.
"Yes, our situation is getting more and more difficult now. We have to think of a way, or we won't be able to survive!”Fang Tianhua's words immediately received a response.
"Brother Fang, what solution do you have?”The Celestial King sitting on the first seat on the left pondered for a moment before asking Fang Tianhua, who was sitting on the first seat.
"There is a way, but I don't know if everyone can accept it!”Fang Tianhua smiled faintly. His smile was like a calming pill, giving the others great confidence.
"Brother Fang, just say it. As long as we can solve the current difficulties, what else is there that we can't accept?”The other five Celestial Lords and Marquises said.
The other three Celestial Kings and Nobles were bewildered.
They had thought hard about the current situation for many days, but they still could not think of any effective solution. Fang Tianhua actually thought of it?
It was said that Fang Tianhua had gone to Xianling Sect not long ago and then to the Imperial City. After he returned, he gathered them. He wondered if it was related.
"There is only one way to solve the current predicament, and that is to plead guilty and pledge loyalty to the Emperor!”Fang Tianhua's expression was solemn as he swept his gaze across the crowd and spoke in a deep voice.
His words made the other eight marquises 'faces stiffen. They looked at Fang Tianhua stiffly, their hearts churning.
"Fang Tianhua, are you sure you're not joking?”The immortal king sitting on the first seat on the left swallowed a mouthful of water and said in a trembling voice.
"Fang Tianhua, this joke is not funny at all!”The other two Immortal Kings also said in a low voice.
"Yes, I am!" The other five High Immortals echoed.
They had never even thought of pledging their loyalty to the Emperor.
In the past, these nobles had seized power from the Emperor and had done many things that were not beneficial to the Emperor and the court. They had also experienced power for who knew how long. Now, they were asking them to plead guilty and pledge their loyalty to the Emperor. Was this not a joke?
"I'm not joking with you because I've already made a trip to the Imperial City and met the Emperor. I've also asked for forgiveness in person!”Fang Tianhua sneered and said seriously.
"Then you can still come back alive?" A marquis exclaimed.
In his opinion, asking for forgiveness from the Emperor was like handing the blade of death to the Emperor. They had done so many things that were detrimental to the Emperor and the court. How could the Emperor let them off?
"It's because I came back alive that I gathered all of you here to give you directions. You should be able to see the current Emperor's abilities through the recent actions of the royal court. The Emperor wants to regain control of Great Qin, and now is the time to use people. If we plead for forgiveness and pledge our loyalty now, even though we will be punished, we will be able to survive. Otherwise, when the Emperor truly acts against us, we will definitely die!”
Fang Tianhua said to everyone. He used himself as an example to convince everyone.
The five Immortal Lords and Marquises were immediately tempted. They didn't have the strength of an Immortal King. Now that the Six Fan School was advancing and they had the cooperation of the sects, they couldn't defeat the imperial court in the Eastern Nine Prefectures. Sooner or later, they would die. Even their families would be destroyed.
Now that Fang Tianhua was using him as an example, he could plead guilty and pledge allegiance without death. Moreover, his family could also be preserved. How could they not be tempted?
"Of course, after we plead guilty and pledge our loyalty, we can forget about our power. Moreover, we are still sinners. If we want to regain control of power, we have to make contributions again!”Fang Tianhua spoke again.
"If what Brother Fang said is true, it's not impossible for us to plead guilty and pledge allegiance. At least we can still live and our families can be preserved. As for atoning for our sins and making contributions, it's not a problem at all.”After thinking for a while, the five Celestial Lords and Marquises had basically made up their minds.
The main reason was that Fang Tianhua had set a precedent and given them hope. Otherwise, even if they wanted to, they wouldn't dare.
Fang Tianhua smiled when he saw that the five marquises were completely moved.
Half of the mission given by the Emperor was completed.
Then, Fang Tianhua looked at the other three Celestial Kings and Nobles. They didn't look too good. Fang Tianhua could understand that the more power one had, the more unwilling they were to give up. If he hadn't gone to Xianling Sect and heard the words of Xianling Patriarch, he wouldn't have thought of making this choice.
