As soon as he said that.
The court immediately fell into a dead silence. Almost everyone looked at this person with surprised eyes.
F * ck, brother, when did you become so tough?
At this moment.
Three similar voices sounded in succession.
"Your Majesty, please kill the crafty minister Wen Zhong to appease the resentment of the vassals!”
Three officials walked out one after another, their faces full of righteousness.
Immediately after.
Before the ministers could react.
Among the three, an official in red shouted,"
"Your Majesty, the vassals are the foundation of Great Shang. Now that Dongyi is invading, the monarch and his subjects are fighting together against the enemy. How can we be separated from the vassals because of Wen Zhong? This subject feels that this is unwise."
"Enough!"
Diyi forcefully interrupted.
Then, he stood up from his throne and shot a cold glance at the official in red.
In an instant.
An emperor's might swept across the entire area.
The red-robed official who spoke felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His entire body trembled as he lowered his head. He did not dare to look at Diyi on the steps like a quail.
"What trash!"
Ji Chang lowered his head and glanced at the red-robed official from the corner of his eye, cursing in his heart.
"Wen Zhong."
"Your subject is here!"
Diyi turned to look at him and asked in a deep voice,""What do you think of this matter?"
Emperor B was not stupid.
He knew very well that this opening could not be opened. If he fulfilled the wishes of the dukes and killed Wen Zhong, what would happen if they continued to use this method in the future?
At that time.
Where was the Human Emperor's authority?
Wouldn't the imperial power be suppressed by the vassal states?
"Your Majesty!"
Wen Zhong stepped out of the ranks.
He cupped his hands at Diyi and then glanced at the nearby officials. He shouted loudly,
"This subject believes that Dongyi is the common enemy of Great Shang.”
"At this critical moment, the feudal lords have the country in their hearts. They will never sacrifice their righteousness because of personal grudges. They will do their best to help Your Majesty defeat the Dongyi tribes!”
F * ck! Awesome!
In an instant.
The officials in the hall looked at Wen Zhong with a hint of shock and respect.
As expected of a high-quality talent from an immortal sect.
In just two short sentences, he attributed the dukes 'memorials to personal grudges. At the same time, he used the righteous name to roast the dukes on the fire and force them to contribute.
No!
My child will also be sent to the immortal sect for further study in the future!
"Dammit!"
Ji Chang cursed in his heart.
Then, he glanced at Diyi, who was standing above him. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly shouted with a righteous expression,"I think that Sima Wen's words are reasonable!”
"Dongyi is the common enemy of Great Shang.”
"I am willing to let go of past grudges for the people of Great Shang and do my best to help Your Majesty repel the enemies!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Everyone was shocked.
Especially the few officials who were ordered by Ji Chang, they looked at him in disbelief.
Earlier, you asked us to stand up and kill Wen Zhong.
Now that he had come out to speak up for him, were you going to do this again and again?
'Damn, the clown is actually me…'
At this moment, Ji Chang seemed to have noticed the resentful gazes of the people beside him. He glanced at them indifferently from the corner of his eye, and his face looked as if he was considering the overall situation.
In his opinion.
Since Diyi was already on Wen Zhong's side, he was not afraid of him.
Since the alliance of the dukes was temporarily broken, it would be better for the werewolves to attack the villagers.
Firstly, he could gain fame. Secondly, he could ease Di Yi's suspicion. Thirdly, he could take the opportunity to sneak into the troops attacking Dongyi and act according to the situation.
Why not do three things at once?
"I am deeply gratified that Marquis of the West has such intentions.”
Looking at Ji Chang, Diyi revealed an inexplicable smile. He turned to Wen Zhong and said,""Sima Wen, I order you to lead 50,000 troops to guard the Luo River!”
"Yes!"
Wen Zhong bowed and agreed.
It was his first time leading an army in battle.
However, when he was on Golden Ao Island, his Martial Uncle Qin Ye had specially found some books on this topic for him. He also gave him a strange book, the Thirty-Six Stratagems!
Therefore, Wen Zhong was not timid. On the contrary, he was eager to try.
"Marquis of Dong Bo, Jiang Hengchu, you are in charge of commanding the grain and fodder of the various dukes.”
"Yes!"
The Marquis of Dong Bo, Jiang Hengchu, who was about thirty years old, stood out with a straight face.
Marquis Dong Bo led the 200 dukes of the eastern region and had generations of marriages with the royal family.
Therefore, Di Yi was very assured to hand over the provisions of the alliance army to Jiang Hengchu to control the various dukes so that they would not dare to mutiny.
As for the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang.
Because the previous emperor had imprisoned and killed the previous Marquis of the West.
He was already at a disadvantage in terms of benevolence and righteousness.
Thus, even if Di Yi wanted to make a move on Ji Chang, he had to find a suitable reason to do so. He couldn't just casually deal with him, or else it would easily cause the dukes to change sides.
After all, it was too much to keep two generations of Marquis of the West under house arrest.
Thinking of this.
Diyi turned to look at Ji Chang.
"Minister Ji, since you have the heart to serve the country, I will order you to lead all the reinforcements to guard Yunyang Pass. Any objections?"”
Ji Chang was widely praised among the princes.
This time, a vassal colluded with Dongyi.
Diyi had suspected that Ji Chang was the culprit, but he had no evidence.
He was sent to guard the Yunyang Pass, which was the most common route in Dongyi and the most threatening route to Chaoge, to test whether he was the one who had done it.
If that was the case.
Dongyi would not attack Yunyang Pass on a large scale, so this route would be safe and sound.
If not, they could also use this to wear down the troops of the various dukes.
As for whether he was worried that Ji Chang would collude with Dongyi and open the city gate to let them in, hehe, if that was the case, Diyi would probably wake up laughing.
The reason why he didn't dare to touch Marquis of the West was because the name of benevolence and righteousness was too strong, so it wasn't easy to make a move.
As long as Ji Chang dared to let Dongyi in, he would no doubt cut himself off from the people of Great Shang. At that time, Di Yi only needed to raise his arms and shout, and the people of the world would definitely follow him.
At that time.
Dongyi's army could be wiped out with a snap of their fingers.
"Yes!"
Ji Chang didn't show any reluctance on his face. He nodded his head and agreed to this matter with a righteous expression.
At this moment, it was as if he had hit the jackpot in his heart.
"Di Yi, your cleverness has caused you to be too clever. I will ask the immortals to contact Dongyi and march from Luo River, and I will not do anything!”
At this moment.
Ji Chang seemed to be able to foresee it.
Wen Zhong was in a sorry state as he faced the attacks of the Dongyi clans.
At that time, even if they successfully resisted Dongyi, the imperial court's military forces would be damaged. If they failed to stop them…It is the time for me, Ji Chang, to show my might!
However, what he did not know was…
Diyi had already begun to suspect his identity as a werewolf.
At the same time, there were people in the Dongyi tribe who had been planning this for hundreds of years.
Ji Chang's beautiful dream was destined to fall through…
