Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Xiqi.

Xibohou Mansion.

When the battle report came, everyone in Xiqi was stunned.

Jin Ning, who was at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, was unexpectedly captured alive, and the Fengyun Sect was annihilated in a battle array by the national master Yang Daoren.

This reversal came too suddenly.

Some time ago, the national teacher Yang Daoren was beaten so badly that he had to hide in the city, but in the blink of an eye, Jin Ning was captured alive.

More importantly, Zhao Gongming took action.

Zhao Gongming is a senior outer sect disciple of Jiejiao and can represent Jiejiao to some extent.

This means that Jiejiao has decided to intervene in the Battle of the Gods.

Thinking of the behemoth Jiejiao, not to mention Ji Chang and others, even Jiang Ziya felt tremendous pressure.

The Shang Dynasty already had a Golden Immortal. If Jiejiao were to fall at any time, then when they raise an army next time, they would need at least a few of the 'Twelve Golden Immortals' to take charge.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya said loudly: "Don't worry too much, everyone. Jiejiao is very strong, but my Chanjiao is not weak either. Let me call a few brothers and ask them to come and take charge."

Ji Chang and others nodded, and felt a little relieved.

San Yisheng sighed and said, "The fate of Qingzhou is already decided. I'm afraid Donglu and Beihai won't be able to hold out for much longer."

……

Youzhou.

Youzhou Hou Mansion.

Upon receiving the news from Qingzhou, Yuan Futong was also horrified. He quickly invited two Western Sect Xuanxians and said in a panic: "Two Immortals, Qingzhou just received news that Jin Ning was captured alive and Fengyun Sect was killed."

"what!"

The two Western religious immortals were also confused.

Jin Ning, she is a goddess from the Phoenix clan and a peak Golden Immortal, how could she be defeated so miserably?

They looked at each other and saw each other's timidity.

They were already exhausted from dealing with Wen Zhong alone, let alone the national teacher Yang Daoren. Once he pacified Dong Lu and left for Youzhou, they would be doomed.

Yuan Futong lowered his status and begged, "I know that you two immortals have extraordinary origins. I hope you can ask for help from the forces behind you. If I can become the emperor of mankind in the future, I will give you five million slaves as blood food every year."

He thought that the force behind the two people was some powerful demon clan.

For the sake of ambition, he stopped pretending.

If five million slaves are not enough, then fifty million will be fine.

Anyway, the prehistoric world is so vast and there are countless human beings, so there is no need to worry about not being able to capture enough slaves.

"Cough cough!"

One of the Xuanxian coughed lightly and pretended to be calm, saying, "My Lord, we will report your request to the higher-ups, but I'm afraid we can't influence their decision."

Yuan Futong nodded repeatedly: "I know this. You can tell them that if they have any requests, just ask. Everything can be discussed."

"Okay. Let's go back first then."

The other Xuanxian nodded, and the two of them bowed to each other and turned to say goodbye.

After leaving Youzhou Marquis' Mansion, the two cast an invisibility spell and soared into the sky, leaving Youzhou without looking back.

As for the monsters they brought with them, of course they just abandoned them.

It is impossible to report it. Escaping is the most important thing because the Western Church cannot send out Golden Immortals, as they will be completely dragged into the Battle of the Gods. How could the two saints agree to this?

Anyway, their mission has been completed long ago and they can report back.

According to the intelligence they collected, the Chan sect has chosen Xiqi. At the same time, Xiqi has been expanding its military and preparing for war in recent years. Now there are signs that it is about to launch an uprising.

The main event in the Battle of Conferred Gods is the dispute between the orthodox sect and the unorthodox sect.

Their assistance to Youzhou was just an appetizer, including the rebellions in Qingzhou and Donglu.

.........

"This is Chaoge!"

Walking on the streets of Chaoge, Zhunti Taoist couldn't help but marvel at the busy streets, with tall buildings on both sides, most of which were over 30 stories high. The streets were spotless, the pedestrians were dressed in bright clothes, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Looking around, there are cultivators everywhere, and immortal cultivators can be seen everywhere.

He was dazzled by all kinds of novel things. Since he was born, he had no idea how many cities he had visited. There were all kinds of races, including dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, wizards, liches, etc., but no city could compare with Chaoge.

Those cities are all the same, only Chaoge is refreshing and full of vitality.

He did not forget his purpose and went to a mobile phone store and bought a top-grade spiritual weapon-level mobile phone.

It’s not that I don’t want to buy the fairy-level ones, but the specialty store is out of stock.

After quickly reading the instruction manual, Zhunti Taoist started to operate the mobile phone. He soon became familiar with it and found that the various applications in the mobile phone were very helpful for cultivation, but that was all.

This made him frown. How could mobile phones be related to the rise and fall of Western religions?
Maybe the time is too short.

Taoist Zhunti finally comforted himself that after all, he had just bought this phone and it would definitely take some time to fully familiarize himself with and understand it.

He planned to stay in Chaoge for a few days until he had thoroughly studied the mobile phone.

……

The submission of surrender from Dong Lu to the capital made all civil and military officials excited.

Unexpectedly, the battle of Qingyang City not only completely defeated the Qingzhou rebels, but also frightened Dong Lu into surrendering directly.

Zichen Palace.

Yin Qi convened a small court meeting, including ministers from the cabinet, the Grand Council, the five ministries, the Censorate and other departments, to discuss how to deal with Dong Lu and the various princes.

As the mastermind, Jiang Huanchu must be sentenced to death.

Although Yin Shou was an accomplice, as the protagonist of the rebellion, some people suggested that he be executed, some suggested that he be demoted to a commoner, and some suggested that he be placed under house arrest in the clan office.

As for the various princes, their fiefs were reduced according to convention.

Of course, the newly vacant fiefdoms must be promptly distributed to princes, nobles and meritorious people.

Yin Qi sat upright and listened quietly.

As the ministers were arguing, they suddenly noticed that Yin Qi had a blank expression on his face, so they were all startled and quickly quieted down.

Everyone knew that their proposal was not approved by the king.

But which suggestion was it?

Seeing that all the ministers had quieted down, Yin Qicai said calmly: "Jiang Huanchu will be sentenced to death, and the fiefdom of Donglu will be taken back. The entire Jiang family will be demoted to civilians and dispersed for resettlement. The Ministry of Revenue will come up with a specific plan."

The Minister of Revenue quickly agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"As for Yin Shou, he was demoted to a commoner, expelled from the family tree, and is not allowed to return to Chaoge in this lifetime."

At this point, Yin Qi paused, looked at Shang Rong and said, "Prime Minister, how do you think we should deal with the various princes?"

Swish!

Everyone looked at Shang Rong.

Everyone was smart and soon realized that Yin Qi was dissatisfied with the proposal to reduce his fiefdom.

But, this is just customary.

Shang Rong's expression became solemn, he bowed and said: "Replying to the king, treason is an unforgivable crime, how can we just reduce the fiefdom. In my opinion, in order to deter people, we should take back the fiefdoms of all the princes.

In addition, the old ministers suggested that all the recovered fiefs should be nationalized and no longer divided up.

The practice of feudal fiefdom was implemented in the past because the territory was too large to be effectively managed.

But now that there are teleportation arrays everywhere, travel is extremely convenient, so there is no need to divide them up, so as to prevent today's incident from happening again in the future and repeating the same mistakes. "

Shang Rong knew about Yin Qi's desire for centralization of power.

When Youzhou, Qingzhou and Donglu rebelled, Yin Qi did not suppress them immediately, but delayed the rebellion for three years in order to thoroughly muddy the situation, drag all the princes into the rebellion, and then take the opportunity to take back all the fiefdoms.

Therefore, when faced with Yin Qi's question for advice, he would of course take the initiative to offer suggestions and share the pressure with Yin Qi.

The idea of ​​feudalization has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

He knew that his suggestion would surely cause an uproar in the world, and even lead to countless people attacking him. Even the reputation he had accumulated over half a lifetime would be destroyed.

But for the future of the Shang Dynasty, he had to do it. (End of this chapter)
