Zhaoge City.
In the main hall of the palace.
Wen Zhong coldly glanced at Ji Chang and decided to continue persuading His Majesty to carry out the Decree of Grace.
In his opinion.
It is imperative to push the order of grace.
Emperor B had no reason to refuse.
The reason was simple.
As the emperor of the four seas.
Who would want to see the power of their subjects grow until they became a threat to themselves?
And the reason why Diyi went back to consider.
It was nothing more than an excuse.
He had to weigh whether he should act now or later.
After all, the vassal states were quite powerful. If they rashly implemented it, it might arouse the heart of resistance. At that time, it was inevitable that they would fight with some vassal states.
"Humph, crafty villain!"
Ji Chang coldly glanced at Wen Zhong, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The Badge of Grace was like candy dipped in a slow-acting poison. It tasted good when he looked at it and ate it, but it was deadly and made his heart palpitate.
Fortunately, White Crane Boy came last night.
After a night of discussion.
He had already prepared an excuse to persuade His Majesty and to kill Wen Zhong's prestige at the same time, or to directly eliminate the root of the problem and kill this bastard in one fell swoop to set the record straight!
At this moment.
A sharp voice rang out.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
In the next moment.
Di Yi was wearing a black robe and a crown as he walked towards the throne.
He had just sat down.
A voice rang out.
"Your Majesty!"
Wen Zhong stood up and went straight to the point."I have something to report!"
"I already understand Wen Zhong's intentions.”
Di Yi waved his hand and looked at Ji Chang, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs. He said indifferently,
"The matter of the Decree of Grace is to save the feelings of the officials and make the sons of the princes no longer have to fight with each other for the title. It is truly an act of benevolence and filial piety.”
"Therefore, I have decided to spread my kindness and carry out this plan!”
The voice fell.
In an instant.
The hall fell into silence.
The faces of the dukes led by Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, instantly darkened.
"Dammit!"
"Di Yi, if you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!”
"One day, I, Ji Chang, will definitely destroy your country and your ancestral temple!”
Ji Chang lowered his head and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. In his heart, he thought about how he would lead the western vassals to destroy the entire Yinshang Dynasty in the future!
Suddenly.
An urgent shout entered the hall.
"Human Emperor, you can't!"
He looked in the direction of the voice.
A white crane flew into the hall and landed on the ground, turning into a delicate boy.
The boy was surrounded by immortal energy and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like an expert.
He introduced himself." I'm White Crane Boy, the disciple of the South Pole Immortal Weng of the Jade Mirage Palace on Kunlun Mountain. I happened to pass by and heard what the Human Emperor said. I felt that there were many inappropriate things, so I came to persuade Your Majesty."”
A good show was about to begin.
In the court.
The officials all looked at White Crane Boy, wanting to see what he was up to.
"Oh ~"
Diyi narrowed his eyes." May I ask what's wrong?"”
To be able to become the emperor of the human race.
Diyi naturally understood that this was definitely a helper invited by the feudal lords.
It was just that the other party came from a great sect. As the Human Emperor, he could not not give him any face. Therefore, he planned to listen to his explanation and treat it as a form of entertainment.
As for whether he would change his mind.
These few days.
Diyi thought for a long time.
He spoke his mind.
Ever since his father's generation, he had been wary of those vassal states that had their own troops.
Especially Marquis of the West.
All these years, he had been trying to rope in the other princes.
He also used the name of resisting Xirong to recruit soldiers and expand his territory.
It was also because of this.
Di Yicai had specially summoned Ji Chang into Zhaoge and placed him under surveillance.
As for the Order of Grace that Wen Zhong mentioned…
It had to be said that it was indeed a sharp blade that pierced through the hearts of the dukes.
Diyi pondered for a long time.
He felt that it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so he took advantage of the fact that he was still in power and the vassal states were not fully fledged.
According to Wen Zhong's plan, he would eliminate the hidden dangers in one fell swoop and strive not to cause trouble for future generations. At the same time, he would allow the position of the Human Emperor to be passed down for thousands of years.
Therefore…
Let's not talk about White Crane Boy's persuasion later.
Di Yi would issue a token of gratitude and completely disintegrate those powerful dukes!
"In my opinion, there are two things that are inappropriate.”
"Firstly, Your Majesty needs to rely on the vassal states to resist the foreign enemies. If you divide it into small countries, you might not be able to work together. When the foreign enemies invade, the country will definitely be shaken!”
"Secondly, the Token of Grace seems to be promoting benevolence and righteousness, but it actually harbors evil intentions.”
"May I ask Your Majesty, if the person who holds the military power of the capital takes the opportunity to rebel, what should we do? At that time, even if the vassal states wanted to, they might not be able to send troops to support!”
White Crane Boy's words are really heart-breaking.
The person who holds the military power of the capital.
It was none other than the Great Sima Wen Zhong who had proposed the Decree of Grace.
The meaning behind his words was obvious.
It was to remind His Majesty to keep his eyes open. The person who proposed the Proclamation of Grace might be waiting to divide the forces of the vassals to snatch your position as the Human Emperor!
It had to be said.
This move was indeed vicious.
Since there was no way to deny the benefits of the token of grace.
Then he might as well directly attack Wen Zhong, who proposed this plan, and make Emperor B wary of him.
For a moment.
Everyone looked at Wen Zhong.
In their eyes.
As the target of criticism, Wen Zhong had to stand up for himself.
Otherwise…
Regardless of whether the Decree of Grace was carried out or not, because of White Crane Boy's words, Wen Zhong would definitely be suspected by the Human Emperor. At that time, his fate could be imagined.
Thinking of this…
Ji Chang was delighted.
He stared at Wen Zhong coldly as if he was looking at a corpse.
At this moment.
Diyi, who sat on the throne, spoke.
"Wen Zhong, you're the one who proposed this plan. What do you have to say about White Crane Boy's words?”
To be honest.
During these few days.
Di Yi had already thought of this, but he rejected it in the end.
The reason was simple.
It is said that Zhong is different from the princes and countries.
The military power in Wen Zhong's hands was given by him and could be taken back at any time.
However, whether it was military power, taxation, or finance, they were all under their own jurisdiction. Between the two, it was self-evident who was more harmful.
Moreover…
Diyi had already decided.
After the execution of the order of grace.
He then began to divide the power of the Great Sima's position, so that the military power was firmly in his hands!
"Your Majesty! I think…"
Wen Zhong seemed to be brewing.
After pausing for two to three seconds, he turned to look at White Crane Boy and shouted angrily,
"This is a matter for the human race! Since when was it the time for this mixed-hair beast to be so impudent!”
