401 Fight to the End
Seeing that none of the officials had any objections, Di Xin nodded his head in satisfaction and immediately decided to say, “Alright, the decree has been issued. The cabinet system will begin tomorrow. Grand Preceptor Wen, you’ll be the first Grand Secretary of the cabinet, so you must handle the state affairs well on my behalf.”
Wen Zhong could only helplessly sigh and cupped his fists at Emperor Xin. “This old official will obey.”
On the other side, in Western Qi City…
Di Xin’s order spread in Western Qi.
The Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, was ordered by the emperor to lead a 100,000-strong army to the North Sea and suppress the rebellion. The entire court was thrown into chaos.
The ministers all wrote to Ji Chang that he could not fall for Di Xin’s tricks, and they also scolded Di Xin for hiding evil intentions.
After Ji Chang appeased the officials, he decided to go with the army personally.
“After this Prince goes to war, Great Physician San Yisheng will assist Kao’er in the country governor examination! I’ve read my fortune, and I’ll be able to return to my country in a few months at the latest.”
After Ji Chang arranged everything properly, he began to mobilize the troops.
Outside Western Qi City…
The army of 100,000 was awe-inspiring, and their killing intent soared into the sky.
The great general Nangong Shi led the army, while the Second Young Master, Ji Fa, and Zhou Gongdan followed the army!
Ji Chang sat on a mystical chariot in the middle of the army.
This carriage didn’t have a shaft nor was it pulled by a horse, but it moved freely.
“My Lord has brought the Seven Fragrance Carriage. Young Master, you don’t need to worry. This chariot was left behind by Emperor Xuanyuan in the North Sea. When a person sits on it, they can move east and west without a guide. It is comparable to an eight-person chariot.”
On the city wall, the Great Physician, San Yisheng, saw Ji Kao’s worried face and came forward to comfort him.
Ji Kao sighed with worry.
“That Di Xin schemed against my Western Qi. Father’s trip will be very dangerous.”
Very quickly, the army set out.
Zhao Hao was riding on the Five-Colored Divine Ox, silently watching from the sky.
It wasn’t until the army of Western Qi had traversed more than 100 miles that he rode the Five-Colored Divine Ox and rushed toward the capital.
The news of Western Qi’s army marching to the North Sea immediately spread throughout the world!
At the capital, in the palace…
Zhao Hao had just returned when he heard the news. He was shocked.
He had never thought that Emperor Xin would actually implement a cabinet system in the Shang dynasty, where the emperor’s power was greater than the heavens.
However, the cabinet system was much better than the feudal slavery system of the Shang dynasty.
Zhao Hao didn’t have any objections to this.
After Zhao Hao returned, he went straight to the imperial study, where Emperor Xin was reviewing the imperial memorials.
“Big Brother, you’re back. How’s the matter? Anything wrong?” Di Xin asked in surprise.
“The Marquis of the West has already sent out his troops. I think the rebellion in the North Sea will not be a problem.”
Emperor Xin was also overjoyed, and he pulled Zhao Hao to drink.
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly ordered someone to call Fei Zhong over.
Di Xin asked directly after Fei Zhong entered the imperial study, “Where are Yuan Futong’s rebel soldiers?”
“Your Majesty, they are almost at Chongzhou.”
Di Xin raised his head in surprise. He had not expected Yuan Futong’s rebel army to strike so quickly, and he had also forgotten about the Marquis of the North, Hou Chonghu.
Zhao Hao’s eyes instantly narrowed as he spoke.
“Your Majesty, I remember that the Marquis of the North, Hou Chonghu, should be in charge of the 72 Dukes of the North Sea, right?”
In theory, the 72 Dukes of the North Sea were all under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of the North.
However, this good-for-nothing couldn’t even take down Su Hu, the small Duke in his jurisdiction. He was pressed to the ground and beaten up by Su Hu’s son.
In the end, it was his younger brother, Chong Heihu, who came down the mountain and helped him regain his face.
“That’s right. This guy is not Yuan Futong’s opponent,” Di Xin also said worriedly.
Yuan Futong’s true battle record was that he had fought with Master Wen Zhong in the North Sea for more than ten years.
Before Di Xin and Zhao Hao could discuss further, a Delinquent spy came to report.
“The Marquis of the North, Hou Chonghu, sent a letter saying that the rebel army of Yuan Futong from the North Sea had killed their way to his city walls and were requesting the emperor to send troops to suppress the rebellion.”
“Let him wait. Tell him that the reinforcements have already left.”
Although Hou Chonghu’s strength wasn’t much, he was still the Marquis of the North. He still had some foundation. It wouldn’t be a problem for him to hold off Yuan Futong for a while. When Ji Chang arrived, all the problems would naturally be solved.
Zhao Hao didn’t care about that anymore.
All he wanted to do now was to stabilize his cultivation base and find time to cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysteries and improve his combat strength as much as possible.
However, when Zhao Hao saw a memorial written in red on the table, his eyes turned serious.
Although Zhao Hao had only heard about the cabinet system, he understood it very well.
The importance of the memorials could be divided into blue, yellow, orange, and red.
They corresponded to general, relatively important, very important, and especially important.
Red memorials meant that they were especially important. The cabinet system had just been implemented, and a red memorial had already appeared. How could Zhao Hao not be surprised?
“Big brother, just in time. Help me take a look. I’m really annoyed to death by these bunch of gods.”
When Emperor Xin saw Zhao Hao looking at the memorial, he suddenly thought of his own dilemma.
Hence, he directly handed the memorial to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately opened it to watch.
This memorial was Wen Zhong’s note, and it came from the various generals of Great Shang.
Ever since Great Shang conferred gods, those gods who were willing to submit to Great Shang were frequently attacked by demons and suffered heavy losses. Many of the gods who originally submitted were forced to escape.
Without the control of the gods, natural disasters continued to occur in all parts of Great Shang, and the people were full of complaints.
…
After Zhao Hao read through it, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
The Shang dynasty had already formed a feud with the Heavenly Court because of the matter of the gods.
It was obvious that the Jade Emperor was the mastermind behind all this.
It wasn’t a simple matter to break out of this situation.
Zhao Hao didn’t answer directly, but asked Emperor Xin instead, “Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?”
Di Xin did not hide anything and said directly, “Since they’re forcing me, I’ll just make it bigger. I’ll set up a God-Naming Platform in the capital and use my Human Emperor Constitution to confer Shang gods. I’ll tie these gods to the fate of Great Shang and let them exist with the dynasty.”
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky above the capital.
Suddenly, the entire human race’s fortune swept across the entire human world with Emperor Xin’s words.
Countless mighty figures were startled awake.
No one knew what had happened.
Zhao Hao was shocked by what he heard.
He did have a solution in mind.
However, compared to what Di Xin had done, it was inevitable that he would fall behind.
He would set up the God-Naming Platform and use the Human Emperor Constitution to seal the gods, binding the fate of great Shang.
‘This Emperor Xin is really determined to fight the Heavenly Court to the end!’
