#1121 - Chapter 1121 Watching the Ceremony and Sharing the Food of Fiery Marquis

"Your Majesty," said Fire Lord, "among the Nata people, there is no distinction between high and low, noble and base. Whether king, marquis, elder, priest, or commoner, all are equal. Therefore, I see nothing wrong with what I said."

"Absurd!" King Jin continued, "Under the heavens, all land belongs to the king. Within the borders, all people are the king's subjects. This world is mine; how can I give it to another?"

Fire Lord was both shocked and angered by his words.

This world was clearly passed down from his father by abdication to his father; how could it become his private property?

He was now beginning to believe Cheng Bang's words; this Jin Ji was indeed a shameless thief.

But out of consideration for the king's dignity, and to persuade Jin Ji as much as possible, he did not get angry but continued patiently:

"Your Majesty, this world belongs to the people of the world, not to the king. Your words clearly violate the ancestral precepts of the clan."

"Ancestral precepts? Since you mention them, I might as well tell you. I have already ordered the inscription of new clan rules, which will be announced to the world soon. By then, the ancestral precepts of the clan will be abolished," Jin Ji said without concealment.

"What did you say? New clan rules? No! You can't do this!" Fire Lord was startled.

The Nata clan's orthodox scriptures were the foundation of the clan's heritage, and once abolished, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Fire Lord, you must understand that I am not discussing this with you. Now, get back to Yan Territory immediately. Considering you are the leader of the Queen's clan, I will not argue with you. But if you say more, I will not spare you!" King Jin warned.

"Your Majesty, think twice! The ancestral precepts cannot be easily abolished, or the people of the world will be at a loss!" Fire Lord not only did not listen but shouted even more recklessly.

"Presumptuous! Guards! Take Fire Lord down and flog him as a warning!" King Jin had completely lost his patience and ordered sternly.

Four people immediately rushed in from outside the hall and dragged Fire Lord out.

"No! No! Jin Ji! If you do this, you will become a sinner of the Nata clan!" Fire Lord struggled, his words filled with discontent.

"Bastard! Utter bastard! Beat him! Beat him hard!" King Jin pointed at him, panting heavily.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry! Anger harms your health." Consort Yao stood up, walked to him, and gently stroked his chest.

"Yaotao, you see. It's not that I can't tolerate him, but that he insists on seeking death," King Jin said.

"Your Majesty is benevolent; your concubine sees it clearly," Yaotao replied.

"Alas! In this world, only the Queen understands me best!" King Jin sighed.

"That's because I am closest to you. I believe that as long as the people of the world understand you enough, they will understand you as I do," Yaotao comforted.

"What the Queen says is true! Therefore, the new clan rules must be promoted as soon as possible!" King Jin said after thinking.

"Your concubine has a way to promote the clan rules to all the tribes in a short time," Yaotao said.

"Oh? Queen, tell me quickly, what is the way?" King Jin asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty might as well order all the tribal leaders of the world to come to Jin Territory to witness the ceremony," Yaotao said.

"Come to Jin Territory to witness the ceremony? What ceremony?" King Jin didn't quite understand.

"Of course, it is the completion ceremony of the clan rule stone inscription," Yaotao replied.

After careful consideration, King Jin replied happily:

"The Queen's method is excellent!"

"Not only that. Your Majesty can let all the tribal leaders share Fire Lord's flesh and blood during the ceremony," Yaotao added.

"Share Fire Lord's flesh and blood? Why do that?" Jin Ji looked at Yaotao in surprise.

"Your Majesty's abolition of the old clan rules will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the tribal leaders. If there is no warning, I am afraid they will not easily submit," Yaotao explained.

"What the Queen says makes sense. It's just that Fire Lord is the leader of your clan; isn't it inappropriate to do so?" King Jin was concerned.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Since I am your wife, I should consider you. Even if Fire Lord is from my family, I cannot disregard Your Majesty's favor for my own selfish interests," Yaotao replied with "righteousness."

"I didn't expect the Queen's heart to be so broad. Well, in that case, let's do it!" King Jin finalized the matter.

Soon after, King Jin sent out a large number of messengers, rushing to the various tribes of the Nata clan.

Three months later.

Yan Territory.

"Young Master Lieyan, have you rested well during this time?" White Jade Lord went to Lieyan's residence.

Lieyan was now under strict supervision, and he could do nothing but eat and sleep.

"White Jade Lord, how dare you come to see me?" Lieyan asked unhappily.
