Zhao Huaizhong was sitting in the grand palace, looking at the four emperors and nine surnames, a total of sixteen people.
In some families, more than one person was arrested, and there were all men, women, and old people in the house.
He didn't give any explanation as to why he captured these people and came to heaven, letting them figure it out on their own.
The mere fact that the Human Emperor appeared in the Heavenly Court, but the Heavenly Emperor did not, was enough to give rise to many doubts and speculations among these clans.
"I am summoning you all because it concerns the Four Emperors and Nine Surnames, as well as the stability of the Immortal Realm."
"The Demon Clan has retreated to the northern state to defend itself. Some of you among the Four Emperors and Nine Surnames want to be independent from the Heavenly Court after the Demon Clan retreats. Especially those who are far away from the Northern State, located in the southeast, southwest, and south of the five major states.
Several in the southern states.
Among them, the Chao family and the Dating family are responsible for connecting all the families, hoping that the four emperors and nine surnames will advance and retreat together to fight against the Heavenly Court."
Zhao Huaizhong's eyes were sharp as he scanned the houses.
Due to his evil reputation, the heads of these clans looked ugly, but no one immediately stood up to fight.
Outside the hall, Dong Lian probed his head.
He was a little at a loss. It was the Emperor of Heaven who sent a message asking him to cooperate with the Emperor of Humanity.
But when did the Emperor of Heaven come into contact with the Emperor of Humanity? Dong Lian wanted to ask but did not dare to ask. He was very confused.
"With the Chao family, you are the most active in running around, trying to unite and separate the families. Do you know how many people will die as a result?"
The leader of the Nest clan who was directly named was tall and bronze-skinned. He looked middle-aged, but was actually thousands of years old. He wore brown armor.
The Youchao clan was the leader of the tribe in ancient tribal times, and strong men emerged one after another from generation to generation.
When the first Heavenly Emperor was able to rise and establish the Heavenly Court, the Chao clan was very powerful, so the territory was divided and one side became the king. However, as time went on, the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Court gradually became separated and wanted to separate and become independent.
There are also many legends about the Chao clan circulating in the world. They are the first of the five Chinese clans and are known as one of the first ancestors of the Chinese human race.
Youchao invented the construction of houses, burial after death, stringing leaves into clothes to cover shame, etc.
The leader of the contemporary Youchao clan, he is a well-known powerhouse in the middle realm of creation in the fairy world.
Zhao Huaizhong's words made him furious, but he didn't dare to openly shave Zhao Huaizhong's eyebrows. He said angrily: "I have the Chao clan as the head of the human tribe for generations, how can I do anything harmful to the human race?
What the Emperor said makes no sense.
Moreover, my Chao clan belongs to Tianting, one of the four emperor clans, so why do you, the Human Emperor, interfere?"
"With my power, I can suppress you."
Zhao Huaizhong was neither impatient nor impatient, but one sentence almost choked Mr. Youchao half to death.
"I will only say two things today. First, the four emperors and nine surnames can leave the heaven and become independent, but they must hand over their military power and move out of their ancestral land."
Lifting the military power and moving out of the ancestral land are things that shake the foundation. How can we agree to this?
Everyone looked at each other angrily, and there was a moment of restlessness.
But in addition to Zhao Huaizhong, Lao Tzu, Sun Gongwang, and Si Ying and others who had the Immortal Killing Formation looming between their eyebrows, they all looked around.
These clans were so angry that they exploded, but no one dared to take the initiative to explode.
Zhao Huaizhong thought to himself: "I and the Emperor of Heaven have reached an agreement that during the period of dealing with the demon clan, no clan name will be allowed to cause division.
The second point I want to make is that from today on, the Four Emperors and Nine Surnames and other family heads are temporarily living in Heaven and are not allowed to leave.
The orders for the deployment of the ministries of each family were signed by the head of each family in heaven and passed on to each family."
He wants to imprison us... The heads of the four emperors and nine other clans suddenly changed their expressions.
"Human Emperor, you think no one can control you. I, the Yanzi clan, will never obey you. We want to leave, let's see who can stop us..."
The leader of the Yizi clan is a very wealthy woman, very majestic and wearing a beautiful crown.
As she spoke, her hands suddenly glowed, and an ancient figure of a female clan leader appeared behind her. She held a stone pickaxe in her hand, emitting a dim yellow halo, and pressing towards Zhao Huaizhong like a heavy pressure like a mountain.
"What a courage!"
Zhao Huaizhong's voice was indifferent, but to Yanzi's ears it was like the roar of a dragon.
The female clan leader's Dharma that appeared behind her was instantly destroyed by the ripples of mana generated by the void, leaving no trace of her alive.
Before it was over, the leader of the Yinz family was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly fell to the ground.
The restlessness that had just arisen in the crowd was immediately suppressed.
Zhao Huaizhong didn't even make a move, he just said a word and knocked down the Yanzi family. Everyone couldn't help but be shocked and frightened.
The four emperors and nine surnames are to the heaven, what the princes of the world are to the master of a country.
Removing their authority is like cutting off a vassal state, in order to centralize power.
The Lord of Heaven has been planning in the past to strengthen the imperial power, but he is not courageous enough and dare not forcibly detain these family heads for fear of causing a mutiny and making the situation out of control.
He even lacked the confidence and strength to detain the four emperors and nine surnames together and force them to bow their heads.
Therefore, the method of the Lord of Heaven is to use the demon clan to weaken their power and plot behind their backs.
Zhao Huaizhong's method was simple and crude on the surface, and was coordinated with other arrangements.
Soft and hard, differentiated and combined.
Just grabbing the leaders of each clan from a distance is enough to explain the problem and act as a deterrent to them.
The Chao family and the Yanzi family had no contact with Zhao Huaizhong before. This time, Zhao Huaizhong suddenly launched a cold arrow and captured them from each family. They were really defenseless.
The Human Emperor imprisoned them in the Heavenly Court, which shocked the Four Emperors and Nine Surnames.
The Human Emperor was acting in the Heavenly Court, but the Heavenly Emperor did not respond and allowed the Human Emperor to do so.
What's the inside story in this is enough to make the Four Emperors and Nine Surnames want to break their heads.
The more I don't understand, the less I dare to act rashly.
I and Sun Gongwang were sitting behind a low mat on one side, with admiration in their eyes.
Zhao Huaizhong's thunderous methods did not give these clans any chance to react, and he took advantage of them without testing them.
I and Sun Gongwang both know that there are several families with the Nine Surnames of the Four Emperors who have secretly been in contact with the Human Emperor for a long time.
For example, the Luo family, the Yue family, and even the Feng family.
Zhao Huaizhong had previously killed the Demon Emperor and solved the predicament of the Feng family in Shiwencheng. He was a great favor to the Feng family.
These families can be used to internally divide the four emperors and nine surnames.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "Please come and talk to the Queen of Heaven!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen walked out of the palace wearing a crystal blue robe embroidered with gold threads and a cold face.
After she was 'targeted' by the Emperor's clone, she had some guesses about certain things, but she was not sure.
She asked the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor did not respond directly.
After the queen was angry, she had to consider practical issues such as her own and her family's interests.
Since Tianhou's father Fengmao died in the battle, the Feng family has been on the front line of the battle between the Western State and the demon clan. It has suffered heavy losses and is in a precarious situation. Otherwise, it would not have secretly contacted Zhao Huaizhong in an effort to protect itself.
The current head of the Feng family is Feng Mao's younger brother and Tian Hou's uncle, Feng Yi, but the actual person in charge is actually Tian Hou.
Feng Yi is obsessed with spiritual practice, likes to go straight, and is not good at planning.
He consulted the Queen of Heaven on everything and relied on her opinion.
So to win over the Queen of the Feng Family is to win over the Feng Family.
The Feng and Luo families hold a very important position among the Nine Surnames of the Four Emperors, so it is particularly important to win their support.
Therefore, the avatar of the Emperor of Heaven talked about it first and later, and moved it emotionally.
The queen can either choose to fight to the death or compromise.
If it really doesn't make sense, you can still use force.
At this time, she walked into the palace, looked at the heads of the four emperors and nine surnames who had been arrested, and expressed her position: "My Feng family supports the Human Emperor's decision. In the future... my Feng family will move as a family and come to the place next to the heaven."
Live in Central Yunxiao City.
From now on, all the generals and ministers appointed by our Feng family will be appointed by His Majesty."
Youchao and other families were greatly shocked.
By doing this, the Feng family handed over most of their power to heaven and lost the power to station outside.
However, I think the Emperor of Heaven will make some compensation, and the Feng family can still retain its status as the Four Emperors clan.
"Okay, all the heads of the family go down and think about it. Who is willing to be like the Feng family and let people pass it on to the Emperor of Heaven or me."
It was enough to meet the four emperors and nine surnames for the first time.
Zhao Huaizhong waved his hand.
Several leaders including the Four Emperors and Nine Surnames felt that the power in their bodies was suppressed at the same time, and they could only mobilize weak immortal power.
"Take them down and arrange a place to live."
Someone came in from outside and left with the four emperors and nine surnames.
They were quickly arranged to stay in several palaces in heaven, next to each other, and were not restricted from communicating with each other.
People from each family immediately gathered together to discuss:
"How dare the Human Emperor dare to be so lawless, detain us, and commit crimes?"
"With his strength, what should he have to worry about, not to mention the support of the two sects of Chan and Jie..."
"More than the two teachings of interpretation and interception, didn't you hear what the Queen of the Feng family said?
And...why didn’t the Emperor of Heaven show up during the whole process?”
"The Emperor of Heaven regards the Emperor of Humanity as his enemy, why would they join forces?
This thing is full of weirdness."
"If we are detained here, I am afraid that the families will cause trouble soon." The leader of the Youchao clan frowned.
"The Human Emperor has always been ruthless in his methods. At this time, whichever of the four emperors and nine surnames makes trouble first will definitely become an excuse for him to deal with him."
This is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and everyone understands the truth.
The quick slip that the owner of the Youchao clan had connected with his family had not been confiscated. He thought for a moment and then sent a message to the Youchao clan to avoid chaos. He decided to wait and see before talking.
"Why the Emperor of Humanity and the Emperor of Heaven unite is not actually important. What is important is how we should respond?"
"In my estimation, the Human Emperor wants to split our four emperors and nine surnames. The sooner anyone like the Feng family can stand up and talk to the Human Emperor, the greater the room for mediation."
The person who spoke was the head of the Luo family. He glanced at everyone and said, "When we get to the last few families, they want to hand over their authority, but they don't want it."
The head of the Luo family is a spy of Zhao Huaizhong, who secretly stirs up trouble.
The head of the Da Ting clan sneered: "Your Luo family has long been tabooed by the Emperor of Heaven, and your military power has been weakened over the years. You have nothing to lose. I am afraid that your Luo family is most willing to see the current situation."
When the four emperors and nine surnames met, various speculations arose spontaneously.
In another palace, the Queen of Heaven looked at Zhao Huaizhong coldly:
"Did His Majesty fall into your scheme? Is His Majesty you now...or himself?"
He died so early that his body and soul disappeared. Even his body was mended and rebuilt by me... Zhao Huai thought to himself.
But he couldn't say that.
Regarding the clone of the Emperor of Heaven, we can handle it flexibly in the future. If necessary, we can also follow the Queen of Heaven to withdraw from the core of power in the Heavenly Court.
As for the mystery of the Emperor's life and death, Zhao Huaizhong himself will not tell it. As long as it is not exposed, the true story of the Emperor's life and death will be buried, and everyone can guess as much as they like.
Using a clone of the Heavenly Emperor to exchange for the support of the Feng family at this time will be of great benefit to the stability of the Four Emperors and Nine Surnames, and is obviously worth it.
"The Queen of Heaven can ask the Emperor of Heaven on her own."
Zhao Huaizhong kicked the ball back and said: "The follow-up plan can begin, and we will cooperate with the detainment of these family heads." After saying this, he stood up and left the heaven.
He followed Siying and teleported back to the eastern state.
All forces are currently preparing to pursue and attack the demon clan without giving them a chance to breathe.
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong returned to Xianyang.
As soon as I returned to the palace, I had a feeling, and I couldn't help but think: I'm quite persistent, and it's so fast...
