King Zhou's killing of Daji and Pipa Spirit, which was very satisfying to the people, stirred up waves. Before the people in Chaoge City could calm down, an even more shocking news came to Chaoge City.
"Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, rebelled!"
Ji Shan swaggered around the city in his ceremonial robes. Too many people saw him and he couldn't hide it. However, as the news spread, it became more and more chaotic. Ji Shan's rebellion became Marquis of the West, Ji Chang's rebellion.
"Great! Marquis of the West is the king. We can live a peaceful life in the future."
"Marquis of the West is wise. King Zhou is a tyrant. Marquis of the West is the king."
"Support Marquis of the West and overthrow King Zhou's rule."
… …
Although King Zhou's negative emotions were eliminated by Sect Leader Tongtian with the expiation scripture and he was ready to make great efforts, it was too short. Only a few people were affected, including Wen Zhong, Bi Gan, and King Wucheng.
In the eyes of the people and feudal lords, King Zhou was still a fatuous ruler who favored Daji and wronged upright officials. He was fatuous and tyrannical. Now hearing that the wise Marquis of the West was going to overthrow King Zhou's rule, many people in Xiqi applauded.
In other feudal lords' territories, they thought King Zhou was a fatuous ruler. However, Yin Shang had ruled the world for 600 years, which had formed a deep-rooted view in the minds of the people and feudal lords.
If the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, were to rise in rebellion under the banner of purging the Emperor, he might win the support of some of the feudal vassals. However, in the hearts of the feudal vassals, Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, was an ambitious and rebellious subject.
"Your Majesty, the son of Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, walked in the downtown area in a royal robe. This is a crime of rebellion. Your Majesty, please make a decision."
In Chaoge City, all the civil and military officials gathered in the palace hall to discuss the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang. Wen Zhong stepped out and said expressionlessly.
Marquis of the West was one of the four feudal lords in the world. His every move was under the supervision of Chaoge City. What happened in Xiqi was immediately reported to Chaoge City.
As soon as Wen Zhong finished speaking, a clamor of discussion arose in the royal palace. Most of the civil and military officials had received the news that the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, was rebelling. Now, from Wen Zhong's explanation, it was actually a son of the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of the West did not teach his son well, so he should be punished severely. However, his wisdom has spread far and wide, and the people of Xiqi live and work in peace and contentment. He has worked hard and made great contributions.
Bi Gan's expression was solemn and his voice was slightly agitated.
Whether it was Marquis Ji Chang's rebellion or Marquis Ji Chang's son's rebellion, there was not much difference.
The ceremonial robe was the exclusive clothing of the Emperor. Regardless of whether it was a feudal vassal or a commoner, once they wore the ceremonial robe, it was a crime of treason. The offender's property could be confiscated, and even their entire clan could be exterminated.
However, Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, had always been wise. If his family was exterminated, it would definitely have a negative impact on King Zhou.
"Your Majesty, you can't. The son of the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, is wearing an imperial robe. This is an act of treason. According to the law, his three clans must be exterminated."
An official stood out and said with a solemn face.
Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, was wise. Why was his son so rebellious? He obviously did not live up to his name. If Ji Chang was not punished severely, what would happen if someone else imitated him in the future?
"Your Majesty, this matter might be framed by others. Who would dare to openly wear the ceremonial robe and walk in the downtown area?"
There were also officials who spoke up for Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West. Ji Shan's behavior was too absurd and somewhat retarded.
Although the current Yinshang had lost some people's support because of some tyrannical behavior of King Zhou, the vitality of Yinshang was not damaged at all.
Although Xiqi was one of the four feudal vassals in the world, compared with the strength of Yinshang, it was not at the same level.
Rebelling at this time was simply courting death.
"Your Majesty, you must punish Ji Chang severely."
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of the West is innocent."
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of the West is loyal to Your Majesty. He is wise and loves the people. Your Majesty, please forgive him."
… …
Sitting in the throne room, King Zhou glanced at the officials below. Listening to the endless quarrels of the officials below, he made a decision in his heart.
"Ahem, the son of the Marquis of the West wore the ceremonial robe, which is really rebellious. He should be beheaded. The Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, did not teach his son well. He should be demoted to a commoner."
King Zhou coughed slightly and said slowly.
"In addition, the Prime Minister Shang Rong died in the palace because of my mistake. It is my fault. I will grant the title of Marquis of the West to Shang Rong's son. In addition, Abian is conscientious and conscientious and is promoted to be the Prime Minister."
"When commoner Ji Chang governed Xiqi, he was benevolent and loved his country and people. He was promoted to be the Prime Minister."
King Zhou thought for a moment and said.
Although King Zhou's negative emotions were eliminated by Sect Master Tongtian, the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang was too famous. The people and feudal vassals only knew the Marquis of the West, but they did not know King Zhou.
If this continued, the rule of Yinshang might be affected. Therefore, King Zhou took this opportunity to transfer Ji Chang to the court without hesitation.
If Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, was really loyal to the emperor and the country, then he would put Ji Chang in an important position to govern the world.
If Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, had the intention to rebel, it would be difficult for him to do anything under King Zhou's eyes.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Wen Zhong, Bi Gan, and Huang Feihu, the Marquis of Wucheng, stepped out and bowed together.
Although the other officials were jealous that the Marquis of the West got a blessing in disguise and was promoted to the Prime Minister, they had no choice but to agree when they saw King Zhou's decision.
With King Zhou's order, Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, who was escorting Ji Shan to Chaoge City, was stunned when he heard King Zhou's order. King Zhou did not kill him but promoted him to the Prime Minister.
Although he was one of the four feudal vassals, his status was not as good as the Prime Minister. King Zhou could kill him or even destroy Xiqi for his crimes. However, King Zhou forgave his crimes and arranged him to be the Prime Minister. He was really a wise emperor.
Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, was promoted to the Prime Minister. It was so big that it not only shocked the world but also alarmed Guangchengzi.
As the head of the 12 Golden Immortals and the direct disciple of the Honoured Lord of the Origin, he had always been monitoring the situation in the world to prevent any accidents.
Guangchengzi could not see through King Zhou's sudden action. King Zhou seemed to become wise and wise all of a sudden, becoming a wise emperor.
"Is Ji Chang's tribulation about to begin?"
Guangchengzi thought to himself. Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, was destined to be imprisoned once in his life. Perhaps the promotion of Ji Chang to the Prime Minister was just a plot by King Zhou to deceive him into entering Chaoge City.
"Let's wait and see."
Guangchengzi said after a moment of silence.
However, Guangchengzi was soon stunned.
Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, was highly regarded by King Zhou. More importantly, the Jade Emperor Rice that King Zhou asked the people to plant was almost ripe in just one month.
Moreover, although there were still a few days before the Jade Emperor Rice matured, the ordinary people could see from the Jade Emperor Rice that they were going to have a bumper harvest, and it was an unimaginable bumper harvest.
The harvest of the same piece of land was probably ten times that of the original.
With such a big gap, Guangchengzi naturally understood what it meant. Moreover, the Jade Emperor Rice was not an ordinary grain, but an elixir that contained Spiritual Qi.
If the people in the world ate it, what would happen to them?
Everyone would become immortals?
He absolutely would not allow it. Humans had the worst background, even worse than the Demon Clan. In their eyes, the Demon Clan was a bunch of people with fur and horns, not to mention the lowly Human Clan.
Guangchengzi's face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold. He was lost in thought. After a long time, he flew to a holy mountain full of Spiritual Qi.
"It's finally starting."
