On Xiqi's side, Bo Yikao and Ji Fa were planning to go to Zhaoge to show their misery.
The order to abolish all rituals that used living people as sacrifices had also spread to all corners of the world.
This was…
It directly caused the world to boil!
It caused…
The various dukes unanimously objected!
"The Shang King is digging his own grave!”
The above words were played out in the various dukes.
"What does this move of the Shang King place us dukes in?”
The matter of human sacrifice was a symbol of their status.
It meant that after death, there would be a large number of people to serve.
Now, he wanted to cripple her?
Get lost!
No one died.
Wouldn't that mean that we nobles are the same as those commoners?
How could this be tolerated!
After the various dukes received the order, they immediately exploded!
Most dukes were cursing and swearing.
Some of the more thoughtful dukes realized the deeper meaning behind the abolition of the sacrifice of living people.
The Marquis of Nanbo lives in the territory.
After receiving the order, E Chongyu did not roar like the other dukes. Instead, he pondered for a while…
He sighed and said,
"The Shang King's actions…It's beneficial to future generations!"
"I did not expect him to think so far ahead…"
"I thought that he was a person who only knew how to use brute force, but now it seems…I underestimated him!"
E Chongyu sighed.
This caused the officials under his command to be puzzled.
"Lord Marquis, isn't the Shang Prince trying to find trouble with the various dukes? How could he have a long-term vision and benefit future generations?”
An official asked in confusion.
E Chongyu glanced at him and closed his eyes helplessly.
How could there be such an idiot in his own account?
He explained helplessly,"
"The saying of human sacrifice has been passed down for a long time and has now become an important part of the competition between the various feudal vassals. The Shang King has ordered the abolition of human sacrifice and all other rituals that use living people as sacrifices.”
"The dukes won't obey because they have absolute authority in their territories. No one dares to disobey them!”
" But Chaoge is different…"
As E Chongyu said this, his expression became much more serious.
"Chaoge is under the absolute control of the Shang King!”
"In Zhaoge Land, all rituals such as human sacrifice will be banned. No one will dare to disobey!”
"If a slave with a low status is in a miserable situation and is in a precarious situation, give him two choices.”
" One is to continue living in the territory of the vassals, where he could lose his life at any time. The other is to go to Zhaoge. There are no sacrifices, no sacrifices, and no sacrifices.”
"But…But my life is not in danger!"
"How will he choose?"
As E Chongyu said this, he looked around the hall.
"Of course I choose to go to Zhaoge!"
The official below replied without thinking.
Was there a need to choose?
There's no need for that!
"Yeah... Go to Zhaoge!"
"This... This is the scheme of the Shang King."
"He never thought that the dukes would obey his orders. In fact, he even wished that the dukes would continue to use the system of human sacrifice after receiving the order!”
"In this way, the territories of the various vassals have become... Purgatory, and Chaoge was heaven in their eyes!”
"There are countless slaves in the world who will try their best to survive in Zhaoge!”
" Zhaoge is located in the Central Plains. The land is fertile, and the population it can support is far from the limit. At this moment…It was only comparable to the population of Marquis Dong Bo's territory!”
" In this way, all the slaves in the world will come to Zhaoge. In a short time, they won't…There's too much chaos!"
"In this way, as long as we have sufficient military supplies, that Shang King…There are countless armies!"
"With this, how can the princes compete with the King of Shang?”
At this point, E Chongyu looked in Chaoge's direction and said with a sigh and fear,""This... It was the Shang King's plan to abolish the human sacrifice and other measures. The benefits were... The future!"
"Thinking back, I once wanted to rebel and seize the throne. Now that I think about it, how laughable…"
After E Chongyu finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
After hearing E Chongyu's detailed analysis, the officials felt a chill down their spines.
The Shang King's scheme…
Such foresight!
His foresight was terrifying.
Do you think he is here to make the dukes unhappy?
He wasn't interested.
I've already started to set up and find trouble with you!
"Lord Marquis, then we…How should I deal with myself?"
An official opened his mouth and could not help but ask.
"How about... We can learn from the Shang King and abolish the act of human sacrifice, right?”
"Other than Chaoge, the slaves in the world can also choose us!”
An official said.
"Ha…"
"That will only hasten our demise!”
E Chongyu laughed coldly.
"The various dukes did not abolish the system of human sacrifice. Only my Marquis of Nan Bo's territory abolished it. What would the various dukes think?”
"In the eyes of the various dukes, our actions will be seen as defecting to the Shang King.”
"In this way, the various dukes will definitely be against us.”
"At that time…The vassals will be happy to see Zhaoge send troops to the south. You can imagine!"
"Shang King's plan…There's no solution!"
E Chongyu shook his head and sighed.
You can't do this, you can't do that!
It really made one feel helpless…
"Then we... What should we do?"
The officials below also realized the horror of Zi Shou's plan and asked weakly.
The Shang King's scheme was unbreakable…
If you abolished human sacrifice, you would attract the hostility of all the vassals. They would think that you were the lackey of the Shang King.
If that was the case, the vassals would abandon you. How could a single vassal resist Chaoge?
What the Shang King feared was the alliance of all the vassals, not just one vassal!
However, if you don't abolish human sacrifice, as the other party grows stronger and stronger, you will become weaker and weaker. In the end…
It was still inevitable that they would be destroyed!
No matter what he did, he would not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed.
What the f * ck!
" Let's wait and see. If we abolish all rituals that use living people as sacrifices, the greatest resistance we will face will not be from the dukes, but Wuzu!”
" If the Shang King can perfectly resolve the turmoil caused by Wuzu, then I…" It's not impossible for me to submit!”
E Chongyu sighed faintly.
