Only then did Shang Rong feel relieved, "That's good, that's good."

Soon, the Human Emperor left Nuwa Palace in his chariot and returned to Longde Palace again.

At the same time, in the west, at Mount Sumeru, next to the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Zhunti's face suddenly turned ugly and turned into the color of pig liver.

"Brother, the situation is not good. My Bodhisattva seems to be imprisoned."

It turns out that going to Nuwa Palace to offer incense has been something that emperors of all ages have done.

Going there every ten years, I had already expected that Di Xin would go to Nuwa Palace to offer incense this time, so I made preparations in advance.

The two brothers discussed it and decided that Zhunti would refine his supreme spiritual power into the Bodhi Seed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Xin to offer incense, the Bodhi Son was penetrated into Emperor Xin's true spirit.

The Bodhi seed contains the Brahma light of cessation, which has the effect of beguiling people's hearts.

Di Xin was bewitched by Brahma Light, and when the time comes, the Western Sect's chances of winning will be even greater.

But just now, Zhunti only felt a surge of supreme luck, which forcibly cut off the connection between him and Bodhisattva. Even with his ability as a saint, he was unable to recover.

Jie Yin also frowned, a little puzzled, "How is it possible? That Bodhi Seed contains a touch of the power of a saint. What can cut off the connection between you and the Bodhi Seed?"

Zhunti still shook his head, "It's a powerful destiny, so terrifying that it can't be stopped by my bodhi seed."

Zhunti sighed, "Brother, what should we do next?"

"Let's just wait and see for the time being and see the evolution trend of the calamity. Judging from the current situation, Dashang is probably going to change again."

"Yes, senior brother."

The two brothers stopped talking, sat cross-legged by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and began to practice.

Time flies, and another three years have passed. Emperor Xinxiong has a great strategy and works hard to govern.

He changed the indulgence of his predecessor, Emperor B, and made rewards and punishments clear and the law strict.

Within the great merchants, it is becoming increasingly clear that before the Qingming Festival comes, officials will have a clean breeze, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. They will know etiquette if they have enough food and clothing, and they will know honor and disgrace if they have enough food and clothing.

On this day, Emperor Xin went to court as usual, and when everything was completed, he was preparing to go down to court.

Grand Master Wen Zhong stood up and spoke righteously.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Emperor Xin was stunned, "If Grand Master has something to do, just tell me."

"I would like to invite your Majesty to select a concubine from within the Great Shang."

"Concubine?"

Di Xin was even more confused, and even suspected that he had heard wrongly.

All the civil and military officials were also stunned. The Grand Master was a very correct person and had a strong character. He usually hated people who were addicted to alcohol and sex.

When the Emperor Yi Renhuang was in power, he indulged in wine and sex, and had many concubines, but he was thwarted many times by the Grand Master.

But now His Majesty is extremely powerful, has great talents and strategies, and is politically clear.

It’s too late for the grand master to be happy, so how can he let the king accept a concubine?

I heard Wen Zhong continue to say, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for decades and has worked hard to govern. The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the Great Shang is prosperous everywhere. However, the king has only two sons. How can he stabilize the eternal foundation of the Great Shang in the future? Therefore, veteran minister, please do it."

Your Majesty accepts concubines to stabilize the country."

"So that's it."

Only then did all the civil and military officials realize that the emperors of Dashang would all be crowned princes and kings in the future.

The previous generation, Emperor B, was greedy for pleasure, lived in wine pools and meat forests, and didn't have many heirs, so he didn't say anything.

But now that His Majesty has been on the throne for decades and has created great governance, it is almost certain that great businessmen will prosper in the future.

If there were only two heirs, it would indeed be a bit missing.

Nowadays, there is no one else in the Great Shang harem except the Empress Jiang of the Central Palace, the Concubine Huang of the West Palace, and the Concubine Yang of the Xinqing Palace.

Compared with the number of concubines of Emperor Yi Renhuang, the number of concubines is not even a tiny bit less.

Therefore, the Grand Master implores His Majesty to accept the concubine. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Emperor Xin is now devoted to governing the Great Shang, and wants to eliminate the powerful princes and kings, leaving a great Shang with a peaceful country and a peaceful people for future generations of emperors.

Therefore, he is not interested in having concubines, but since the Grand Master has already said it, it makes sense that Emperor Xin doesn't care about having more concubines.

On the throne of the Human Emperor, Emperor Xin nodded slowly and made a decision.

"What the Grand Master said makes sense. Let Fei Zhong and Youhun handle this matter."

Fei Zhong, You Hun, Emperor Xin's chamberlain, although these two people are not good in nature, it depends on who uses them.

If the human emperor is fatuous and incompetent and indulges his subordinates, then these two men will be extremely traitorous officials who will flatter themselves, confuse right and wrong, flatter and flatter, and can do anything.

But if the Human Emperor is wise, has tough methods, and has piercing eyes, and cannot hide anything from him, then these two people can be regarded as very capable ministers.

Emperor Xin has been in power for a long time, so he has naturally seen through the nature of Fei Zhong and Youhun.

Despite his frequent knocks, Fei Zhong and You Hun were usually honest, capable of doing things well, and used them very smoothly.

Fei Zhong and You Hun stood up quickly with smiles on their faces.

"I obey the decree."

Soon, under the auspices of Fei Zhong and You Hun.

From all over the Shang Dynasty, three thousand beautiful women were selected.

Among these three thousand beautiful women, we need to carefully select them.

After going through several rounds in terms of etiquette, posture, height, appearance, etc., a total of 300 beautiful women were selected to meet the Emperor.

Then the Human Emperor would select thirty people and include them in the harem before they could become the Human Emperor's concubines.

Selecting 30 people out of 3,000 people seems to be one out of a hundred, but that doesn’t include selecting the losers out of 3,000 beautiful women. If you add them all together, it’s not an exaggeration to select one out of thousands.

In Fei Zhong's mansion, You Hun looked at the names of the beautiful ladies on the roster and felt something was wrong.

"Old Fei, look at these three thousand beautiful women. Is there anything wrong with them?"

Fei Zhong said, "What's wrong? His Majesty the Human Emperor is as powerful as a prison. These beauties are all carefully selected from innocent families. They have been screened round after round before selecting these. They are all top-notch."

My beautiful lady, what else is wrong?"

"It's not about whether she's beautiful or not."

You Hun waved his hand and said thoughtfully, "I mean, is there a finale-level player missing here?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun have similar natures, and they were officials in the court together. They can almost wear the same pants.

Fei Zhong immediately understood what You Hun meant.

"Then you have someone in mind. Our list will be handed over to His Majesty soon. If we make any changes without permission then, it will be a crime of beheading."

You Hun said categorically, "I think Su Daji, the daughter of Hou Suhu of Jizhou, is pretty good. What do you think, Fei?"

"The daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou?"

Fei Zhong was a little surprised, "That is the daughter of a prince, and I heard that our Xibohou's eldest son Boyikao fell in love with Su Daji. By doing this, wouldn't we have offended Xibohou?"

"So Boyikao and Su Daji are already engaged?"

Youhun asks again.

"Not yet."

Fei Zhong shook his head.

You Hun snorted softly and said with sharp eyes, "Old Fei, why haven't you seen the situation clearly yet?"

"Our king, we have worked hard to govern and have the style of the first generation of human emperors. Now the four princes cannot lose their royal tails, and they will definitely be cut off in the future."

"Jizhou is an important place. If Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo, marries the Marquis of Jizhou, it will be a greater threat to our big merchants."

"But if the king marries that Su Daji, the situation will be different. At that time, Jizhou may still be used by our big merchants. Once that happens, do you think the king will use us more?"

Fei Zhong figured out all the ditches inside in an instant, his eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

"Old Hun, I really have you, okay, then I'll do as you say."

Fei Zhong picked up his writing brush and added Su Daji's name to the roster.

Early the next morning, Fei Zhong and You Hun went to Longde Hall and personally handed the roster to Di Xin.

When I saw the three words Jizhou Hou specially marked on the last page, I showed a satisfied smile.

"Okay, this list is very good, let's do it like this. As for the Marquis of Jizhou, you can go there in person."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fei Zhong and You Hun were grateful and escaped from Longde Hall.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
