"Your Majesty, if this plan is implemented before Grand Preceptor Wen goes out, it can indeed have the effect of roping in and deterring.”
"But now, the Grand Preceptor has already been on the Northern Sea for seven years. Our Great Shang's royal army and the 72 vassals of the Northern Sea have suffered countless casualties. This subject believes that the matter of taking a concubine won't be so easy.”
"We still have to think about this matter carefully.”
At this moment, a civil official braced himself and spoke.
"That's right, Great King…"
"The fact that the seventy-two feudal vassals were able to fight against the Grand Preceptor for so long shows that they have a strong foundation. Now that the two sides have been fighting for seven years, this hatred is not so easy to resolve.”
"Moreover, our Great Shang Palace only has thirty-nine people. Now that the King has four people in his harem, there are only thirty-five people left. Even if we have a chance to convince the other party, how can we stop the mouths of the seventy-two dukes?”
Prime Minister Bi Gan also opened his mouth.
The meaning was very obvious. If he really used this method to rope in the seventy-two dukes, then…The number of palace systems in the Shang Dynasty was definitely not enough.
However, just as Prime Minister Bi Gan finished speaking, Fei Zhong stood up again.
"Your Majesty has the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with the previous king, but at the same time, you have the heart to surpass the previous king.”
"As subjects, we assist the king. Why can't we let the king do as he pleases?”
"Furthermore, although the rules of the Great Shang Palace have been set since the beginning of the dynasty, if the king can use the concubines to quell the chaos, this will undoubtedly benefit the people of the world. With such a meritorious deed, can't the rules of the Great Shang Palace be re-set?”
The moment Fei Zhong spoke, the expressions of all the officials present changed subtly once again.
After all, these words had already risen to the level of a Human King's achievement.
To quell the war and bring benefits to the people of the world.
In front of such achievements, the rules of the Great Shang Palace were nothing.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Not to mention the fact that Di Xin wanted to take in 72 concubines, as long as the war could be quelled and the world could be at peace.
Even if he gathered the concubines of eight hundred dukes, it was nothing.
At this moment.
Hearing Fei Zhong's words, Di Xin's face revealed a look of admiration.
Although this guy was a treacherous official, he was really handy at times.
"Lord Fei, according to what you said, the king is planning to take in seventy-two concubines?”
Huang Feihu, the Prince of Wucheng, frowned and said with an unfriendly expression.
After all, his sister was Imperial Concubine Huang. If Di Xin really took seventy-two imperial concubines at once, he would most likely neglect his sister.
"King Wucheng is right."
"This subject believes that Your Majesty not only wants to bless the 72 dukes of the North Sea, but also the four largest dukes of Yinshang.”
"Only in this way can they form a bond and be used by our Great Shang for generations to come.”
With Emperor Xin backing him, Fei Zhong naturally wouldn't be afraid of Huang Feihu.
"You…"
Huang Feihu glared at him, not knowing how to respond.
"Alright, dear ministers."
"Although there are still many unsatisfactory aspects to this plan, I believe that it is indeed a rare good plan.”
"I can quickly quell the chaos and bring peace to the world, bringing benefits to the people of Great Shang.”
"For personal reasons, it can also increase my bloodline as a descendant of the Tang imperial family…"
"As for Grand Preceptor Wen's deep enmity with the seventy-two dukes during his seven years of conquest, you can discuss a countermeasure.”
"However, since the matter of taking in a concubine can stop the war and bring benefits to the people, it needs to be carried out.”
"Do you understand what I mean?”
Finally, when Di Xin saw the officials arguing, he had achieved his goal.
Therefore, it was also time for him, the Human King, to make a decision.
He would leave the rest to these guys. He did not have to worry about it at all.
"We will obey your orders."
Soon, after Di Xin made his decision, the ministers below responded.
"Mm, if there's nothing else, then let's withdraw.”
Di Xin nodded.
Then, he slowly left the hall under the escort of the palace maids.
.............
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
After the plan was finalized, Prime Minister Bi Gan and the other ministers finally came up with a feasible plan.
Prince Wucheng, Huang Feihu, would lead hundreds of thousands of troops to the North Sea and pretend to help Grand Preceptor Wen attack the various vassals.
In reality, it was just a shock.
Other than that, he let Fei Zhong and You Hun bring the betrothal gifts and personally go from house to house to propose marriage.
The reason for this was simple.
After all, Huang Feihu and Grand Preceptor Wen represented the peak of Great Shang.
The gathering of this power was undoubtedly proving to the outside world that the Human King was determined to quell the war.
Fei Zhong and You Hun went door-to-door to propose marriage. The signal to the outside world was also to give these rebellious dukes a way out.
Or, he could become a relative of the royal family and tie himself to the chariot of Great Shang.
Otherwise, there was only death.
After all, although the 72 dukes were strong, they were still not enough to fight against Grand Preceptor Wen and Huang Feihu.
Of course, the concubines could only be the direct descendants of the seventy-two dukes.
