With the sound of drums, hundreds of princes walked into the meeting hall under the lead of Ji Chang and Chonghou Hu.
When they arrived inside, they saw that the place was big enough to accommodate all of them!
After the 500 dukes stepped in, the doors closed.
On the high platform, Huang Feihu stood with his saber. Bi Gan and Shang Rong stood on both sides.
"The king has arrived!"
With a loud shout, everyone shut their mouths.
They all wanted to see what was different about this King Zhou who had suddenly woken up!
Then, the burly King Zhou walked out with tiger steps.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
After they sat down, the five hundred dukes greeted them.
After a few months of recuperation, all the drawbacks on King Zhou's body had been cured.
Moreover, it was even better than before.
Lin Mo had promised Di Yi that he would not harm King Zhou. Moreover, Lin Mo had grown up with him since he was young. No matter how bad King Zhou was, as long as he could wake up, Lin Mo would not give up on him.
After all, if it weren't for Di Yi, Lin Mo would have starved to death on the streets before the system was activated.
"My Great Shang has 800 vassals, but now, there are only 500 left!？”
Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent. No one dared to speak.
Only Chonghou Hu looked around and walked out with a smile.
"Reporting to the king!"
King Zhou nodded. Chong Houhu said," According to what I know, the ones who didn't come this time are mostly the dukedom kings under the jurisdiction of Marquis Dong Bo and Marquis Nan Bo."”
"Moreover, it seems that under Marquis Xi's rule, there are some dukes who have yet to come!？”
" In my opinion, we should punish him severely. This Marquis of the West is guilty, yet he doesn't respect the king's orders. This is..."
Without waiting for him to finish, King Zhou waved his hand and said,"Alright, alright. Marquis Xi can't be blamed for this. He was not far from Zhaoge, and many people came under the rule of Marquis of the West. I believe it was not easy.”
Upon hearing this, Chonghou Hu's expression froze.
This was…
Had she really changed?
King Zhou looked around and stood up."Let's cut the crap. I've gathered all of you here for only one purpose!”
"That is, to remove the status of the eight hundred dukes!”
As soon as he said this, the entire hall immediately became a buzzing sound.
Hundreds of dukes were discussing in low voices.
He said that King Zhou had woken up. Now, he was clearly even more confused.
Since he was awake, why did he do such a thing?
Originally, they were only forcing Marquis Dong and Marquis Nan to rebel. Now, they were forcing the eight hundred vassals to rebel together!？
" Quiet!" Huang Feihu frowned." Everyone, quiet!"”
Bi Gan and Shang Rong also took a step forward." Everyone, calm down. Wait for the King to finish speaking!”
Seeing the two of them appear, the several hundred dukes more or less quieted down.
King Zhou revealed a cold smile. Indeed, Lin Mo was right. None of these guys were willing!
"After the marquises are cut off, I will re-divide them according to the strength and territory of the various marquises.”
"But forget about the position of dukedom. From now on, I will implement the prefecture and county system!”
" Do any of you have any objections?!"
Hearing this, Ji Chang hesitated for a moment before walking out.
"Your Majesty, Ji Chang doesn't dare to go against your orders. However, Ji Chang wants to know what will happen to our fiefs after we remove the position of earls and marquis!？”
King Zhou smiled and said," Of course. Your fiefs will be completely under the management of Zhaoge.”
"In Zhaoge City, someone has already drawn out the territories of the eight hundred vassals of the Shang Dynasty.”
"In a short time, Bi Gan and Shang Rong will naturally give you your positions!”
" Do you still have any doubts?!"
Seeing this, Chonghou Hu took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, our fiefs were all obtained through hard work. If Chaoge were to take charge of everything now, I'm afraid there would be some troublemakers among us!”
"Why don't we discuss this matter for a long time? It won't be too late to make a decision after we appease the emotions of the dukes!”
"Causing trouble?" King Zhou said indifferently.”
"I want to know who is unwilling!？”
Hearing this, Chonghou Hu gave a slight glance. Someone among the dukes behind him shouted.
"I don't want to!"
"Yes, none of us are willing!"
"Your Majesty's actions are clearly to occupy our territory and account for our contributions!”
"Not to mention us, even our subjects will not agree!”
Hearing this, King Zhou nodded.
"Very good!"
"Now, I've finished speaking. Those who are unwilling, leave from the left. Those who are willing, leave from the right!”
A door opened on both sides of the hall.
Seeing this, someone immediately rushed towards the door on the left.
However, just as he rushed out, a miserable cry was heard.
King Zhou sat on the high platform without any reaction in his eyes.
This was all Lin Mo's arrangement. If the 500 vassals didn't agree, even if the 800 vassals didn't agree, they would all be killed!
Some things had to be done quickly!
Whoever doesn't accept it, I'll beat them until they do.
If you're still not convinced, I'll destroy you!
For a time, all the dukes in the hall were dumbfounded.
"Bi Gan, Shang Rong, this King Zhou has no morals. Are you going to watch him mess around?？”
Someone in the crowd shouted, but Bi Gan and Shang Rong didn't say anything.
Before they came, they had already been called away by Lin Mo for a lecture.
As long as the feudal lords had power, Chaoge couldn't rest easy!
For Yinshang, Chaoge was worth all this trouble!
Without that change, there was no need to bleed to complete it!
And this was just the beginning!
