After the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin left Wen Zhong behind. The two came to the side hall. As soon as they sat down, Emperor Xin asked.
"Master, what do you really think of my proposal this time?"
"The merits of the present generation will be beneficial to the future!" Wen Zhong agreed very much with Emperor Xin's reduction of titles, but he was still not very happy.
"Since the fight is so utilitarian, why do you seem to be unhappy with the Grand Master?" Di Xin said.
"I think your Majesty should also know that our main focus now is on consecrating the gods, rather than starting a war with the nobles in Dashang. This will put a very heavy burden on the national strength of Dashang!!" Wen Tai is not in government affairs now.
The teacher said bluntly.
"Could it be that Grand Master couldn't figure it out? It's precisely because of this era that it's more important to stabilize the internal situation!" Di Xin said firmly.
"But, how can we cause civil strife before the war? Why not, after the war, with a huge victory, it is not too late to reduce the nobility. By then, those nobles who want to rebel will have to carefully consider the combat power of our great merchants, isn't it?
Better?" Master Wen said.
"Originally, I had the same idea as the Grand Master, but now I have a bigger idea. If it is announced after the victory, all those nobles will hide, which will also be a hidden danger to my great merchant. Why not take this opportunity to force them to rebel?
, Wouldn’t it be better to use this opportunity to deal with them all, and Dashang will usher in a prosperous future?" Di Xin said with high spirits.
"Your Majesty wants to take advantage of the three religions?" Wen Zhong suddenly understood.
"What do you mean by using this? This is called conferring the gods to measure the calamity. Let them rebel in advance. Behind them are the supporting foreign cultivators. These are all monks who can be on the list. If the three religions send them all to the list of conferring gods, you three
The pressure of teaching will be reduced a lot! This is mutual benefit, not exploitation, right?" Di Xin stared at Wen Zhong and said.
When Di Xin mentioned this matter, Wen Zhong's expression changed. He had never thought of this before. He only knew that if Di Xin forced all the princes to rebel, the Great Shang territory would destroy the Great Wall, and rebellions would break out. In the end, it would be hard to
It is still the Three Religions, and I never thought that there are also advantages to the Three Religions.
"Wen Zhong is stupid, your majesty's method is indeed powerful." Wen Zhong lowered his head, there was no way.
"As long as you understand, I hope that this time you can eradicate all the princes and bring peace to the world." Emperor Xin said loudly.
"According to the order, Your Majesty!" Wen Zhong said and left. He still needed to report this situation to the superiors for a decision!
After watching Wen Zhong leave, Di Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Why did he pull Wen Zhong over to talk? He just didn't want the people behind the Three Religions to have the same idea as Wen Zhong.
He thought that Emperor Xin would use this opportunity to bring down the three religions and use the monks of the three religions to pacify the princes in Dashang. There would be no benefit to them being used. If the three religions suffer heavy losses in another battle, and the reckoning comes, Dashang will not be easy either.
Maybe after becoming a god, if the three religions are overthrown, they will support one party to overthrow the Great Shang, but that’s not necessarily the case!
For this reason, Di Xin told the whole story, hoping that there would be no confusion in the hearts of the two parties. Now Di Xin knew that without the support of the three religions, Dashang would not be able to exist for a few years.
As soon as Di Xin's order was promulgated, the news spread throughout the world. All the princes received the news of Di Xin's reduction of titles, and they all showed their anger.
…
In Dongbo Houhou Mansion, a large number of nobles discussed Emperor Xin's latest order again.
"Dad, when that guy Di Xin issued such an order this time, doesn't he tell us to give up Donglu? How can this be done!" Before Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu could speak, his son Jiang Wenhuan said impatiently.
"Your Majesty is right, Lord Marquis. Your Majesty has gone too far. These titles and fiefdoms were obtained by our hard work and hard work every generation. Why would he want to take them back with just one mouthful? We don't accept it!" a prince said loudly.
"right!"
"that is!"
The princes' words were the opinions of the princes who came to discuss the situation. They all disagreed with Emperor Xin's instructions and made rude remarks one after another.
"What can I do if I don't agree? Now His Majesty has issued an order. The news I got is that many ministers objected during the court meeting, but His Majesty has made up his mind to reduce his rank. Even if he opposes it, it is useless!" Jiang Hengchu was said by them.
Distraught, he roared angrily.
Hearing Jiang Hengchu's roar, all the princes calmed down. Now everyone was at a loss and looked at Jiang Hengchu, hoping that he would come up with a charter.
As for whether Jiang Hengchu would agree to Di Xin's order, they all knew that this was impossible. Even if Jiang Hengchu agreed, Jiang Wenhuan would not. They didn't see that Jiang Hengchu didn't speak at first, but Jiang Wenhuan was the first to speak rudely.
Your Majesty didn't even say anything, and directly called Di Xin's name.
However, they were also a little worried. After all, Jiang Hengchu's daughter was the queen of Dashang. They were also afraid that Jiang Hengchu would fall to Dashang, and then their situation would become even more difficult.
"Master Marquis, how about we inform the late Emperor of the Secret Realm about this matter and ask them to make the decision for us!?" one of the princes said.
"Yes, yes, the late emperor and others will definitely not agree with your majesty's doing this!" All the princes seemed to have found a solution and said excitedly.
"It's useless. When I got the order, before you came, I had already sent a message to the secret realm, but no news came back from the secret realm. It means that the secret realm also supports Di Xin's order, or it is not necessarily that this order was issued by them.
!" Jiang Hengchu said with a solemn expression.
"How could this happen?" All the princes who were just excited stopped eating.
"In this case, father, why don't we unite with several major princes and rebel against the great merchants!" Jiang Wenhuan said bitterly.
As soon as Jiang Wenhuan's proposal came out, the eyes of all the princes lit up and they regained their energy. They all agreed to Jiang Wenhuan's proposal and looked at Jiang Hengchu with bright eyes.
"You evil beast, how dare you say this? You know your sister's children are in the palace, and we are rebelling against the great merchants. What will your sister do?" Jiang Hengchu slapped Jiang Wenhuan and said angrily.
"But if we don't rebel, what will we do?" Jiang Wenhuan also said stubbornly!
"Get out, get out of here!" Upon hearing his son's words, Jiang Hengchu shouted angrily again.
Jiang Wenhuan has been afraid of his father since he was a child. Hearing Jiang Hengchu's angry shouts, he quickly left the hall.
However, his proposal also made all the princes take it to heart, and one prince stepped forward and said.
"Master Marquis, I think what the young Marquis said is right. Since there is no other way, and we don't want to hand over the territory that our ancestors have gained for generations, the only thing we can do is to rebel against the big merchants. Only in this way can we have a way to survive!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis, Dashang has been on the throne for a long time now. Why don't we take this opportunity to pull Dashang down? If you do it, Lord Marquis, you can accomplish some good things!" one of the princes said.
Then all the princes came out to accuse Jiang Hengchu of rebelling against the Great Shang. They did not want Jiang Hengchu to surrender to the Great Shang, which would be a huge blow to them.
There is no good life!
"Okay, that's it for now, you can go back first." Jiang Hengchu did not make up his mind and let these princes go back first.
However, these princes all know that Jiang Hengchu will not be willing to give up his fiefdom. Even if he refuses to rebel against the Great Shang, he will not fall to the Great Shang. Unless the Great Shang is really invincible and destroys other princes, Jiang Hengchu will
Will surrender, after all, he has a way out, his daughter is still in the palace!!
After the princes retreated, a figure appeared in the hall and appeared in front of Jiang Hengchu. The two were discussing something. This figure could not be seen clearly because it hid its identity. All that was seen was that this figure had horns on its head!
