In Great Shang Royal City, the Concubine Concubine Plan was proceeding in an orderly manner.
On the third day, Fei Zhong and You Hun led the grand bridal procession out of the capital.
Time passed.
Three months later, in Grand Preceptor Wen's army tent.
"Reporting, Grand Preceptor…"
"Someone from the palace. The army of Wucheng Prince Huang Feihu is about to arrive at our encampment to join forces with the Grand Preceptor.”
A soldier stood at the entrance of the tent and shouted.
Wen Zhong: ???
King Wucheng's army?
Grand Preceptor Wen was stunned when he heard the report, and his expression turned grave.
"Could it be that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with this old subject's speed of conquest? Are you sending Huang Feihu to replace me now?”
With a face full of doubt, Grand Preceptor Wen walked out of the tent.
"How long until King Wucheng's army arrives?”
Grand Preceptor Wen immediately asked.
"Reporting to Grand Preceptor, King Wucheng's army has arrived, just outside the garrison camp.”
The soldier immediately responded.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and let King Wucheng in…"
Grand Preceptor Wen snorted and immediately gave the order.
Not long after, Prince Wucheng arrived in front of Grand Preceptor Wen under the lead of the soldiers.
"It's been seven years since we last met.”
Huang Feihu was the first to speak.
"As officials, we can solve the king's worries and pacify the rebellion for Great Shang, so how can we say that it's hard?”
"As for King Wucheng, why did you lead the army here today?”
"Could it be that the king is dissatisfied with the speed of this old minister's crusade against the rebels and specially asked you to replace this old minister?”
Grand Preceptor Wen immediately asked.
"No, no."
"I don't have the ability to take over the Grand Preceptor's command.”
"To be honest, I have another plan for leading the army here.”
"Your Majesty wants to quickly quell the chaos in the North Sea. I, Huang, am only here to put on a show.”
Huang Feihu said immediately.
"Other plans? For show?"
Grand Preceptor Wen was stunned.
After all, Huang Feihu had brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers with him.
Almost half of the capital's military strength had been used.
Even if he was really here to replace Grand Preceptor Wen in conquering the 72 vassals of the North Sea, the ability of Huang Feihu, the Prince of Wucheng, was enough.
But now, he heard that the other party was only here to sit down, so he was a little confused.
However, even though he was extremely puzzled.
What Huang Feihu said next was an eye-opener for Grand Preceptor Wen.
It turned out that Huang Feihu's purpose in leading the army here was only to deter the rebellion and show the 72 feudal vassals their determination to quell the chaos.
The real intention was to use the name of taking concubines to rope in these rebellious dukes.
Once they succeeded, the seventy-two dukes would become relatives of the royal family, and naturally, they would no longer have any disloyalty.
Moreover, the greatest benefit of doing so was that it would allow the other dukes who already had disloyalty to reconsider.
It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
This was…
After understanding Di Xin's intentions, Grand Preceptor Wen's solemn expression eased.
"Kindness…"
"Your Majesty's plan is brilliant."
"If we really use this opportunity to make the most difficult seventy-two dukes submit, it will undoubtedly serve as a warning to the tigers.”
"At that time, even if other dukes have rebellious thoughts, the seventy-two dukes can make use of them and let them attack.”
"However, with the system of our Great Shang Palace, Sovereign Cheng Tang only has thirty-nine wives and concubines. If you want to rope in all seventy-two dukes, it won't be easy, right?”
Grand Preceptor Wen immediately asked.
"Grand Preceptor, you worry too much."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive.”
"If Your Majesty can break the palace system and pacify the various vassals of the North Sea, and restore peace to the world, this will undoubtedly be a matter that will benefit the common people.”
"May I ask, compared to such achievements, what is the Great Shang Palace system?”
"Moreover, this way, we can also add a lot of blood to the Tang royal family. It's really a plan to kill many birds with one stone.”
It had to be said.
Even though this plan was originally proposed by Fei Zhong and You Hun.
However, at this moment, Huang Feihu, the Prince of Wucheng, had given all the credit to Di Xin.
Upon hearing this, Grand Preceptor Wen couldn't help but take a deep breath.
On one side was the achievement of pacifying the war and benefiting the common people.
On the other side were the rules set by the previous kings.
Although both were extremely important, it was obvious that the former was more suitable.
"My lord, this old minister has finally seen the king grow.”
Grand Preceptor Wen was a little excited at this moment.
In his opinion.
Di Xin's plan was undoubtedly sacrificing himself for the peace of the world.
After all, the royal bloodline was extremely precious, and it was the most respected position in the world.
It was almost impossible for ordinary women, even the children of the seventy-two dukes, to marry into the palace.
Only the four great dukes of Great Shang, those who had a connection with the Three Royals and Five Emperors, were qualified.
Now, Di Xin was willing to sacrifice the royal bloodline for the sake of the people of Great Shang.
Although this would allow Cheng Tang to continue his bloodline, the descendants he gave birth to might not be recognized by the Three Royals and Five Emperors.
After all, the position of Human King was no small matter. It was the gathering of the fate of the human race. If one's fate was slightly weaker, they would not be able to withstand its weight.
