Chapter 296: The Final Result: Emperor Xin Takes Concubine

This is an open conspiracy, an open conspiracy, even a shrewd man like Xibo Hou Jichang would never think of a way to crack it.

Jichang's face was covered with beads of sweat, and he answered reluctantly.

"This matter is of great importance, involving hundreds of vassal states. I think we should discuss it again."

"Yes, my king, this Enfeoffment Order is of great importance, let's discuss it later."

Beibo Hou Chonghouhu showed a murderous look on his face, pointing at Fei Zhong and You Hun.

"Your Majesty, the eldest son's succession is an ancient system. Fei Zhong and You Hun submitted this Enfeoffment Order to oppose the rule of Da Shangtong and overthrow the ancient system, which has divided our vassal kingdoms into pieces. What should we do if the foreign barbarians invade and we cannot resist them and attack Chaoge?"

Chonghouhu's words were harsh and murderous.

In the Longde Hall, the other 800 vassal states also looked at the two angrily, frightening Fei Zhong and You Hun to death.

If the king had not ordered them to take this job, they really didn't want to take it.

Now it's good, they have offended all the princes at once. If they don't have the king's protection anymore, their future life will be miserable.

Prime Minister Bi Gan stepped out and smiled to ease the atmosphere.

"The Enfeoffment Order is the king's favor to the princes. In the future, the descendants and all branches will enjoy wealth and honor forever. Isn't it wonderful? The princes should take it."

Wen Zhong stood up from the Taishi chair with the Golden Whip in his hand, full of heroic spirit.

"My Great Shang is rich and powerful, and we are united. What are the foreign barbarians? This Taishi leads a million Great Shang cavalry, ready to fight at any time."

Seeing Bi Gan, Wen Zhong spoke at the same time, and a trace of fear flashed across the faces of the princes.

Bi Gan is the younger brother of the previous king Di Yi and the uncle of Di Xin.

Wen Zhong, not to mention, was a veteran of three dynasties, the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty, and a trusted minister. He was the first person under the Shang Dynasty King.

Under normal circumstances, when these two people spoke, the four great princes would have to give in.

But this Enfeoffment Order was a huge blow to the power of the princes, and it could be called destruction. Once they accepted this Enfeoffment Order, hundreds of years of foundation would be destroyed, and the princes' kingdoms would be torn apart.

Just when the four great barons spoke and prepared to fight for it.

In the Longde Hall, Emperor Xin spoke, "By the way, I forgot to tell you barons that the Enfeoffment Order has been sent from Chaoge to the east, west, south, and north. It is estimated that it will spread throughout the Shang Dynasty in two or three days. This matter is a foregone conclusion. Please don't refuse it."

"What? The Enfeoffment Order has been sent to the east, west, south, and north?"

The four great barons and the eight hundred town princes only felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads, and they felt a little dizzy.

Emperor Xin's face became a little colder, "Are you still unwilling to obey the king's order?"

But at this point, the barons were helpless and looked at each other, "We obey the order."

Among the barons, only Xibo Hou Jichang's face became a little deeper.

After hearing that the Enfeoffment Order was a done deal, he was not depressed, but a little crazy in his heart!

No matter how powerful the Enfeoffment Order was, it would be the next generation's business.

And if Xiqi replaced the Shang Dynasty in this generation

Ji Chang's heart ignited a raging fire of desire.

Thinking back then, when Cheng Tang established the Shang Dynasty, if it weren't for his Ji family ancestor who went into fire and came out of water, how could there be the Shang Dynasty today?

The wind and water have turned, and the blood of Cheng Tang has been sitting on the world for such a long time. It's time for him to sit on the Ji family!

The Enfeoffment Order is bound to lead to the separation of the princes from the Shang Dynasty.

And this is the perfect time for him to take action in Xiqi.

In the Longde Hall, as the Enfeoffment Order was settled, the atmosphere seemed to be cheerful again.

Emperor Xin said calmly, "The banquet is over. If you have nothing to report, please leave the court."

After Emperor Xin finished speaking, he winked at Fei Zhong and You Hun.

Fei Zhong and You Hun immediately understood what Emperor Xin meant. They looked bitter, but they had to stand up.

"Your Majesty, we have something to report."

Instantly, the eyes of the whole audience focused on Fei Zhong and You Hun.

Ji Chang and Bo Yikao trembled, and a bad feeling appeared in their hearts.

It's Fei Zhong and You Hun again. What are they going to do?

"Oh? Tell me."

On the throne, Emperor Xin waved his hand, signaling Fei Zhong and You Hun to speak freely.

Fei Zhong and You Hun choked up with emotion and said, "Since you ascended the throne, your Majesty has worked hard day and night to make the Shang Dynasty a new one. However, your Majesty has paid too much attention to the government affairs of the previous dynasty and neglected the harem. Only the two princes Yin Jiao and Yin Hong have few children and it is difficult to support the foundation of the Shang Dynasty. We two, please take a concubine and prepare for the inheritance of the Shang Dynasty for generations."

"Take a concubine?"

Emperor Xin shook his head and said seriously.

"The prosperity of the Shang Dynasty is far less than that of the ancestor Cheng Tang. My achievements are not even one percent of those of my ancestors. How can I have the face to take a concubine?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun said seriously, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. You have been on the throne for ten years, and the four barbarians have bowed their hands and the eight directions have been submissive. Your achievements are obvious to all. Taking a concubine now and expanding the Shang Dynasty is the kingly way."

"This"

Emperor Xin was still a little hesitant.

Wu Chengwang Jiang Feihu's eyes lit up.

Fei Zhong and You Hun are usually unreliable, flattering and greedy, but what they said today makes a lot of sense.

Now the king's harem only has the first wife of the Central Palace, Jiang, the concubine of Xinqing Palace, Yang, and the concubine of the West Palace, Huang, who is his own sister.

All together, there are only three people, which is far less than the three palaces and six courtyards of the previous kings.

Two sons are also a bit too few. Don’t you see that the four great marquises in the east, west, south and north have dozens of sons each.

And that old shady Ji Chang even has more than a hundred sons. The matter of taking a concubine seems to make some sense.

As for taking a new concubine, it will damage the favor of his sister Huang, but Huang Feihu doesn’t care at all.

His sister and the king have a deep relationship, and the king is not a person who loves new things and hates old things.

Of course, the most important point is that he, Huang Feihu, is a minister of the Shang Dynasty, and everything he does must be considered from the standpoint of the Shang Dynasty.

Huang Feihu thought of this and stepped out of the line, bowed and said, "I second the motion."

Grand Master Wen Zhong stroked his long beard and nodded, "It is the king's responsibility to expand the branches and leaves of the Shang Dynasty. I second the motion on the matter of taking a concubine."

Emperor Xin sighed, "What you said makes sense. Although I don't want to take a concubine, for the sake of my Shang Dynasty, I have to take this concubine!"

After that, he looked at Fei Zhong and You Hun with interest, "You two should have a plan in mind, right? Tell me about it?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun had already made up their minds and said, "Your Majesty, I have a suitable candidate in mind, but I don't know if they agree."

Jizhou Hou Su Hu couldn't wait to stand up and show himself.

"To be the king's favorite concubine is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. How could I not be willing?" (End of this chapter)
