Journey to the West: From the Primordial Era

"Hahaha, isn't this just perfect!"

Emperor Xin laughed heartily and said, "The Shang dynasty has ruled for thousands of years, and the destiny is in my hands. If these traitors dare to stir up trouble, I will send my generals to wipe them out!"

"Thunderbolts sweep the cave, cleansing away the filth. From now on, the Shang Empire is stable, and I have nothing to worry about!"

Du Yuanxun was stunned at first, then his face became filled with anger.

"Your Majesty, do you regard your subjects as enemies?"

"Or did Your Majesty build the Lutai just for pleasure? The so-called consolidation of the foundation and accumulation of wealth is nothing but a sham! If so, Your Majesty, by killing loyal and righteous men, will inevitably lead to public resentment and hatred. Your reckless construction will harm the people! Haven't you heard of the story of Xia Jie building the Qiong Palace?"

The more he spoke, the more stern he looked.

There is even a feeling of being harsh and aggressive.

Du Yuanxun was a veteran of three dynasties and unconsciously put himself into the role of a teacher. Seeing that Emperor Xin acted so stubbornly and was unwilling to accept advice and repent even though he knew that it would shake the Shang Dynasty, he felt heartbroken.

However, in the Shang Dynasty, only Master Wen was qualified to say such words that were meant to teach the Human Emperor a lesson.

His behavior of treating Emperor Xin like an ignorant child and teaching him a lesson immediately angered the other party completely.

boom!

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's anger, which he had just been suppressing, suddenly erupted.

He suddenly stood up and kicked the jade table in front of him over, and all kinds of objects fell to the ground with a crash.

"Grand Master Du, are you trying to gain fame and sell your loyalty by slandering the emperor like this, huh?"

Emperor Xin gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.

His eyes were filled with coldness as he stared at Du Yuanxun who was sitting below him.

"I dare not! I have been blessed by three generations of kings, so I must be unwavering and risk my life to make this appeal. If Your Majesty insists on his own way and acts stubbornly, I fear that the Shang Empire will be in jeopardy. If that happens, even if I were to die, I would never be able to say goodbye to my ancestors!"

Du Yuanxun took a step back, but there was no fear on his face.

"it is good!"

Emperor Xin shouted, "Grand Master Du, since you are so loyal to our late emperor, I will grant your wish. Come! Du Yuanxian has slandered the emperor and cursed the fate of the nation. Take him away and behead him to enforce the law!"

Outside the hall, the Golden Gourd Guard suddenly walked in, grabbed Du Yuanxun's arms, and prepared to pull him out.

Du Yuanxuan's eyes were dim and he sighed deeply, seeming a little disheartened and without any resistance.

"Your Majesty, please wait!"

Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes flickered. She didn't want to cause any innocent killing in front of her, as this would affect her luck, so she quickly asked the guards to stop and said, "I heard that Grand Tutor Du is a veteran of three dynasties and a well-known loyal minister of the Shang Dynasty!"

"How could you kill such a loyal minister? If the other ministers knew about this, they would think that the king was a tyrant who murdered loyal ministers!"

Emperor Xin's face was still brimming with anger as he asked, "Are you, my beloved concubine, pleading for mercy on behalf of this guilty minister?"

"I dare not? I am only thinking about the king!"

The nine-tailed fox kept an eye on Emperor Xin's expression and said, "Your Majesty is a wise and enlightened ruler, so you should be open-minded. However, Grand Tutor Du did seem to be slandering His Majesty!"

"How about, Your Majesty, reward Grand Tutor Du generously? Give him some money and release him, but never employ him again!"

"A generous reward? To reward Grand Tutor Du for his loyalty to the Shang Dynasty. Expelling him from the court and never employing him again? To punish him for slandering the king! This way, people will know the king's heart and serve as a warning to the ministers..."

Emperor Xin pondered for a moment.

"My beloved concubine, this makes sense!"

His gaze fell on Du Yuanxian and he said in a cold voice, "If it weren't for my beloved concubine's plea, I would never have spared you! My friends, expel Du Yuanxian from the palace!"

Du Yuanxuan said nothing, bowed to the nine-tailed fox, and then turned around and strode away without waiting for the golden-gourd guards on his left and right to catch him.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Emperor Xin was furious again. "You are taking advantage of your age and are so pedantic!"

Du Yuanxian left the palace. Two figures immediately approached him.

The two people were Abigail Gan and Doctor Mei Bo.

"Master Du, what are you doing?"

The two men saw that Du Yuanxian's official uniform had been stripped away, leaving only his casual clothes. They couldn't help but step forward to ask.

Du Yuanxuan's face was bitter as he recounted what had just happened.

"Give him gold and release him, but never employ him again? How dare Your Majesty treat such an important official so poorly? Grand Tutor Du is a loyal and virtuous minister, how can he be sent back to the countryside? Please wait a moment, I will go and persuade Your Majesty!"

Mei Bo frowned and immediately prepared to break into the palace.

Bigan grabbed the man and said in a hoarse voice, "Doctor, wait a minute. Grand Tutor Du's tone is indeed inappropriate. If you force your remonstrance, you will only provoke the king's wrath!"

Mei Bo said angrily, "Your Majesty has acted on your own will, embarking on massive construction projects. Now you're dismissing loyal ministers. Without admonition, how can the Shang Dynasty be stable?"

He shook off Bigan's hand and strode towards the palace.

It didn't take long.

Along with Emperor Xin's furious roar, Mei Bo was also stripped of his official uniform. Two golden-gourd guards forcibly dragged him by the shoulders, stuffed his mouth with sackcloth, and threw him out of the palace gate.

"This……"

Du Yuanxuan and Bigan were stunned when they saw this scene.

The doctor Mei Bo and the Grand Tutor Du Yuanxian, both important officials in the imperial court, were banished to the countryside one day, causing a stir in the imperial court.

All the officials in Chaoge understood the meaning of granting gold and exiling him. It was just an exile with a better reputation.

After this incident, Emperor Xin's reputation for being stubborn and willful spread.

At the same time, the ministers also knew that Concubine Su in the harem had advised the emperor to save the lives of loyal ministers.

This earned the Nine-Tailed Fox the title of Virtuous Consort.

No one in the court stopped him, and Emperor Xin began to use his fierce methods.

Except for the homeland of Shang Dynasty, among the princes in all directions, except for the Duke of Jiuzhou and some powerful vassal states, such as the Four Great Dukes, some princes in important locations and princes closely connected with Chaoge, were all secretly suppressed.

……

In the blink of an eye, time flies.

More than half a year has passed since the Xuan clan took over Jishan Yuanzhou.

The spies left by the Xuan clan in Chaoge continuously reported what happened in Chaoge to Qingzhou.

Qin Hua's divine clone Xuankong was in seclusion, and Qin Hua's son Xuanzong secretly set up miniature aerial void-breaking formations at several spiritual vein nodes in several cities in the mainland of Da Shang.

Qin Hua continued to comprehend this formation and made significant improvements.

Although the miniature Void-Breaking Array he set up could not normally transport Qi Refiners, it could easily transport some jade slips.

This kind of method also existed within the Shang Dynasty.

However, this method consumes a lot of energy and can only be used in emergency situations. It is far inferior to the micro-void-breaking formation that can transmit information continuously.

With such help, the delay of information transmitted from Chaoge will not exceed half a month.

"Du Yuanxian, Mei Bo... In the original plot, Du Yuanxian was beheaded and displayed publicly, and Mei Bo was subjected to the torture of burning with fire! Unexpectedly, the Nine-Tailed Fox actually listened to my warning and didn't act rashly. Instead, it interceded for mercy, allowing the two to escape their original fate!"

Qin Hua's divine clone Xuankong sighed inwardly.

However, Du Yuanxun and Mei Bo were both loyal ministers of the three dynasties of the Shang Dynasty, and were closely connected with the fate of the Shang Dynasty. When the catastrophe broke out and the energy was pulled, if the two did not surrender to the next generation of the Human Emperor, they would inevitably be implicated by fate and die in the future.

Whether Du Yuanxun and Mei Bo live or die is just a minor matter and will not affect the overall situation.

Even if Emperor Xin changed his mind at this time and prepared to strengthen his roots and stop acting drastically, it would be difficult for him to escape the fate of the destruction of the Shang Dynasty.

"Emperor Xin has offended the Saint. The outcome is set and cannot be changed!"

If this world were a lower realm devoid of immortals and gods, Emperor Xin might still be able to defy fate with his own abilities. But in the Conferred Gods world, sages adhered to the Way of Heaven, and with a single thought, they could shake the will of Heaven.

No one has ever offended a saint and still lived in peace.

Of course, the Human Emperor gathers the power of humanity, and if a saint wants to kill the Human Emperor, he himself will also be contaminated with great karma.

But after all, Nuwa is the Holy Mother of the human race, and her brother Fuxi is the leader of the Three Sovereigns of the human race...

Qin Hua's divine clone suddenly came out and stood on Jishan.
