Chapter 476 The Autumn Wind Still
Emperor Xin sat high on the throne. The candles on both sides of the throne flickered. The light shone on Emperor Xin's face, casting a shadow.

His voice was extremely majestic: "Gentlemen, don't blame yourselves. Anyone would lose their composure when seeing such a magical object. I don't blame you.

However, you must understand that having enough food and clothing is just a starting point for the people of our Great Shang.

If we really want the people of Dashang to live like human beings, this alone is far from enough. "

As soon as Emperor Xin said this, every courtier under the throne showed a look of shock on their faces.

Isn’t it enough to just have enough food and clothing?
As officials of the Shang Kingdom, they knew too well what kind of life the people under their rule led. They were hungry and poorly clothed, and when famine struck, everyone would eat each other.

It can be said that for most of the people of the Shang Kingdom, having a bowl of white porridge to fill their stomachs every day was already a heavenly life.

And now, the crop called sweet potato that the king has taken out, once promoted, no one will suffer from hunger anymore, even slaves will be able to have a full meal every day.

If this is not considered living like a human being, then what kind of life can be considered living like a human being?
What did Emperor Xin want to say, what did Emperor Xin want to say, what was Emperor Xin’s implied meaning?
A guess emerged in everyone's mind.

That is to disobey the gods, to disobey heaven, to disobey the dark cloud that has been hanging over the heads of the human race for tens of millions of years. It will make all human beings free from now on and no longer need to be oppressed by the gods.

This is simply a treasonous idea.

In the hearts of all the civil and military officials in this court, the gods are the heavens, the supreme existence that is above humanity. Once a decree from heaven is given, humanity has no choice but to obey.

To go against Heaven would be to drag the Shang Dynasty into an abyss of no return.

Emperor Xin then said, "I am the emperor of mankind, the leader of the human race, so I naturally have to put the interests of the human race first. Now my people are living in dire straits, so I naturally have to save my people from the dire straits.

Everyone, would you be willing to lend me a helping hand? "

When Emperor Xin said this, everyone knew clearly that he did have the intention to rebel against Heaven.

Several court officials moved their feet slightly, as if they were about to jump out of the crowd.

They planned to persuade the king not to have such rebellious thoughts.

But the step had just been taken when it was immediately retracted.

Because after taking this step, they remembered Emperor Xin’s performance that day.

With one punch, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. He was like a god or demon, as if he was a god from heaven and indestructible!
Everyone knew that admonishing the king in person after Emperor Xin had said this would surely anger the king.

Enraging the sky would certainly be a catastrophic disaster, but angering Emperor Xin and his men might not necessarily lead to a better fate.

The scene in the court suddenly became extremely quiet. Not even the slightest sound of discussion was heard. Even Prime Minister Shang Rong did not dare to open his mouth in response to the king's words.

Emperor Xin sat on the throne in silence. This was the first time that he publicly revealed his desire to defy Heaven and set the human race free from then on.

But even though he had expressed it so obscurely, he was still able to shock the ministers so much that they dared not speak out.

This shows that the fear of the sky has long been deeply engraved in the hearts of every court official who knows the existence of the gods.

Emperor Xin's fingers tapped lightly on the handle of the gilded throne. The sound of "dong dong dong" slowly rang out. The knocking became more and more urgent, making the atmosphere in the hall more and more solemn.

"Why are all of you silent? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

He was waiting for the group of courtiers under the throne to speak.

It is not terrible to have no power, what is terrible is not even having the courage to resist.

Looking at the silent courtiers below the stage, with their heads bowed and ears drooped, and some even trembling like quails, Emperor Xin felt increasingly worse.

Just when Emperor Xin was beginning to feel disappointed, Prime Minister Shang Rong slowly took a few steps forward.

“Your Majesty is right. Just having enough food and clothing is far from enough for our human race.

But my king, you know that it is not easy to achieve your vision.

There are numerous difficulties and dangers along the way. If you are not careful, you will lose everything and even risk the destruction of your country and your family. Are you ready to bear these consequences, my king? "

Emperor Xin, who was sitting on the throne, had a look of light and dark: "Ready? Of course I am ready!"

Shang Rong's expression changed: "Are you ready? Your Majesty, are you sure?"

Emperor Xin on the throne shook his head slightly: "Of course I don't have perfect preparations.

What I want to do next has not been accomplished by any of the human race’s predecessors in the past tens of millions of years.

But what does it matter? It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace.

If I don't stand up today, it is uncertain whether anyone will be able to stand up again after me for thousands and thousands of years.

In this case, why should I be so timid? "

The Emperor Xin in another timeline dared to swing his sword towards the sky without even the slightest confidence, let alone the current Emperor Xin who has joined the chat group.

Shang Rong continued, "But your majesty, you must know that you are betting the entire Shang Dynasty for thousands of years. If you lose, will you be worthy of your ancestors?"

Emperor Xin sat high on the throne, his expression unchanged: "What if we bet on the Shang Dynasty?

If I choose to live up to my ancestors, then I will be sorry for the people of this world.

The people are the water and the king is the boat. The Shang Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years because of the people's support. Without them, there would be no thousand-year heritage of the Shang Dynasty.

If I continue to sit back and watch my people suffer even though I have the ability, how can I let the Shang Dynasty continue to be passed down? "

Shang Rong's expression also became gloomy and he stood there in silence.

As Shang Rong remained silent, the court officials behind him dared not even make a sound.

The emperor and his ministers faced off in the hall.

After a quarter of an hour, Shang Rong slowly spoke: "Your Majesty said that you have the ability, so I dare to ask Your Majesty what are your chances of winning."

Emperor Xin smiled: "If you are still as timid as you are today, and dare not say a word when something happens, then I only have a 30% chance of winning.

But if you can show the integrity of our human race and straighten your spine, then I tell you, I have at least a 70% chance of winning."

Hearing this, Shang Rong's pupils trembled greatly. When he asked Di Xin what chances of winning he had, he had actually been convinced by Di Xing.

Over the past thousands of years, all those who had any sense wanted to resist the oppression from the gods.

But this is too difficult, it is simply impossible to do. Countless heroes have shed their blood for this, and countless people of noble character and lofty ideals have spent their entire lives lamenting over this, but no one has achieved any results.

The gap between gods and humans is too big. Even the top Qigong masters of the human race can barely fight against the gods. The top Qigong masters of the human race may not appear for a hundred years, but the gods have an endless supply of masters, not to mention the mysterious and powerful heaven.

So as time went by, with the death of heroes who dared to resist the gods, the backbone of the human race was also broken.

But just now, looking at the high-spirited king on the stage, Shang Rong felt a glimmer of hope of resisting the gods for no reason.

He had just made up his mind that as long as Emperor Xin told him that he had a 10% chance of winning, he would be willing to take the gamble with Emperor Xin. Even if he became an eternal sinner and was engraved in history books, never to be able to turn over a new leaf, he would have no regrets.

Hearing that Emperor Xin was so confident, Shang Rong couldn't wait to speak.

"Seventy percent chance of winning, Your Majesty, take this seriously!

If the king can prove that we do have a chance of winning, no matter what the chance is, I, your humble servant, will accept the victory.

No matter what the outcome will be, from today on, I will follow your lead, no matter how difficult it may be, I will have no regrets."

As Shang Rong said this, some court officials and generals followed Shang Rong and took a step forward.

"I second the proposal!"

Emperor Xin smiled slightly: "If that's the case, why did you remain silent just now?"

A courtier stepped forward to explain.

"I didn't dare to speak just now because I felt that what the king said had no chance of success.

Acting rashly and launching a reckless attack will only lead to the destruction of all lives without any benefit.

But if Your Majesty is truly 70% sure, we are willing to follow Your Majesty through fire and water, even if it means death."

These court officials who dared to stand up had deep fear of the gods in their hearts, but they also had deep dissatisfaction.

The reason why they didn't dare to stand out just now was because they had already been planted with the idea that the gods were invincible.

In their view, being able to feed the people of the world is already a very remarkable thing, and they have a clear conscience if they can do this.

As for going further, that is just a fantasy.

How can humans be true to God?

If we really do this, we will ruin the good situation of being able to feed the people of the world.

But at this moment, seeing the words and actions of the man on the throne, and seeing Prime Minister Shang Rong taking the lead, their thoughts were also shaken.

Seeing that after Shang Rong took the lead, half of the court officials followed Shang Rong and stood up, Emperor Xin smiled.

"Good, very good, very good!
What I fear most is that all the civil and military officials in the court are cowards. If that is the case, no matter how extraordinary my abilities are, I will be unable to display them when I am with a bunch of rats and dogs.

Now it seems that you still have ambition. As long as your backbone is not broken, I have the confidence to lead you to achieve great things.

Come with me, I will show you what I am confident of and what our chances of winning are."

As he spoke, Emperor Xin stepped down from the throne and walked straight towards the training ground behind the palace.

The civil and military officials of His Highness looked at each other, confused, not knowing what the king was going to do.

Soon, all the civil and military officials came to the martial arts field under the leadership of Emperor Xin.

Emperor Xin opened the chat group panel.

Emperor Xin (Great Merchant Emperor): "Jun Bao, I am ready to receive the people here, please send back the people you have selected earlier!"

Zhang Junbao (Lord of the New Dynasty): “I have already prepared everything here, just waiting for you to open the portal.

By the way, I see that the civil and military officials under your command don't trust you very much. Do you want me to organize a big event to help you support the party?"

Emperor Xin (Great Merchant Emperor): "Of course, but Junbao, be careful and don't make too much noise. I'm afraid of alerting the gods."

There were a hundred people standing around Zhang Junbao. These hundred people were the talents sent by Emperor Xin to the Xin Dynasty to support Zhang Junbao.

During this period, the talents supported by Hong Yi and Di Xin played a huge role in the establishment of the Xin Dynasty. It was precisely because of the existence of these people that Zhang Junbao was able to complete the construction of the Xin Dynasty's political system in such a short time.

Now that they are about to return, these one hundred people have a deep reluctance in their eyes.

God knows what kind of a wonderful life they lived during this period. Although they were very busy with government affairs every day and were often busy like a top, Master Zhang would take out one or two hours every night to preach to them.

Not only that, during the Xin Dynasty, their three meals a day were specially provided by Emperor Xin, and even rare delicacies such as the ancient dragon tooth rice were provided for them.

With such benefits, even though they have not been exposed to Jindan martial arts for a long time, each of them has developed a terrifying Jindan internal force, which can be regarded as a minor master in the current world of Yitian.

When they were told a few days ago that they were about to be sent back to Dashang, almost everyone who received the notice felt like the sky was falling.

Although they also understood that Emperor Xin called them back at this time because he must have an important task to assign to them, they were still reluctant to give up such a fairy-like life.

However, no matter how reluctant they were, this group of people still did not feel any dissatisfaction in their hearts.

After all, when Emperor Xin was selecting people to support the new dynasty, the most important criterion was loyalty. Only the most loyal people would get the opportunity to go to the new dynasty.

Zhang Junbao certainly knew what the mood of the hundred people in front of him was, but he didn't say much, just waved his hand.

A giant hand made of black and white appeared out of thin air, holding the hundred people in its palm.

Then a huge portal appeared out of nowhere in the void.

This portal can only be seen by members of the chat group. Zhang Junbao waved his giant hand through the portal and sent these hundred people back to Wu Geng's world.

The moment the giant hand passed through the portal, the situation in Wu Geng's world suddenly changed.

At the portal in the sky that no one could see, a Tai Chi diagram suddenly appeared out of thin air.

This Tai Chi diagram occupied a very large area, almost covering half of the palace, and then a giant hand holding up the sky stretched out from the Tai Chi diagram out of thin air.

The giant hand is as big as a mountain, and one of its fingers is larger than an entire palace. Black and white colors flow on the giant hand, revealing an extremely mysterious aura.

And on the giant hand stood a hundred beings with extremely powerful auras.

The terrifying aura of these beings is even more terrifying than that of mountain tigers or water dragons.
