Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 224 Distributing the spoils

Su Hou was not surprised that Ao Bing had a prejudice against You Su, and even thought it was natural.

Because Ao Bing was the descendant of Emperor Yu, and You Su had attacked the descendants of Emperor Yu and almost stopped the worship of Emperor Yu.

It was normal for Ao Bing to have prejudice against Yousu after he made such a big mistake. Su Hou was powerless to refute, and he could not refute it. He could only use facts to prove that Yousu and Youhu were different.

All the mistakes that Yousu had made before were Youhu's fault. Without Youhu, Yousu is no different from the other princes!

Su Hou left angrily. Since Ao Bing's approach was not feasible, there was still Huang Feihu as a backup. He was a close minister of Emperor Xin and could also send Daji into the palace.

Even though his sister is the princess, it would not be easy to get him to agree to send Daji into the palace.

"Hey, if Daji enters the palace, how can I control Marquis Su with Emperor Xin as my backer?"

After Su Hou left, Ao Bing frowned and thought. It must be said that Su Hou's move was really powerful and completely disrupted his deployment.

No matter how powerful one's background is, one has to give some respect to Emperor Xin. If he has his backing, it will be difficult for Marquis Su to move. Many official means will lose their effectiveness.

"Hey, trouble!"

Frowning and sighing, Ao Bing was ready to return to Chaoge and immediately join forces with ministers such as Bigan and Shang Rong to try their best to prevent Daji from entering the palace.

For the sake of the country, loyal ministers like Bigan and Shang Rong will definitely stand on his side.

……

…………

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, March has passed. The rebellion in the Su Kingdom is also coming to an end at this moment.

It took three months, and Ao Bing finally counted all the spoils from the attack on Su City.

There were twelve billion slaves, millions of nobles, and countless elixirs, elixirs, and divine iron ores.

Even though a lot of resources in Sucheng City were consumed because of defending the city, there were still a lot of resources left, which could at least cultivate tens of thousands of celestial beings if added together.

However, Ao Bing's vision was too high, and he didn't care about these resources at all. The only thing he cared about was the 12 billion slaves.

After leaving behind a few avatars to manage the slaves, Ao Bing, Huang Feihu and other soldiers, escorted the captured Sucheng nobles and the counted resources, boarded the dragon boat and headed towards Tongtianze.

It was not Chaoge, but Tongtianze, because the meeting of princes had not yet ended, and Emperor Xin and the princes of the world were still in Tongtianze and had not left.

Ao Bing did what he said. Before the end of the meeting of princes, he destroyed the Yousu State with lightning speed and suppressed the rebellion.

Yes, the Soviet Union has been destroyed.

Just as Ao Bing was counting the harvest in Sucheng, other cities of Su State were also declared to have been conquered, starting with Baici City and then the nine major cities.

The State of Su was composed of Su City, nine major cities, and a hundred minor cities. The remaining thousands of small cities were just extras and were of little use.

After the loss of these cities, the national fortune of Yousu State completely collapsed and could no longer bring any blessing to Yousu.

Qian Xiaoyi was not strong to begin with, and now without the blessing of national destiny, even if no one came to attack, it would not exist for long. Any passing beasts or wandering savages could kill them.

The State of Su has become history. All its resources, even its population, have been packed up and taken away by the armies of various princes, and then transported to Tongtianze to be distributed by Emperor Xin and the princes.

Originally, the meeting of princes was a place for everyone to discuss the affairs of the world, but now, with the destruction of the State of Su, the meeting of princes suddenly turned into a meeting to divide the spoils.

Almost all the princes were waiting silently for the soldiers on the front line to transport the resources looted from the State of Yousu.

It is true that the land belongs to the Shang Dynasty, but half of the resources snatched from the Su State belong to them.

The dragon boat was moving very fast, and Ao Bing was the first to break into the city, so he was also the first to return to Tongtianze.

When Ao Bing drove the dragon boat to Tongtianze, he could see from afar that Emperor Xin and all the princes present at the meeting came out to greet him in person.

This was a very grand ceremony, from which we can see that Emperor Xin valued Ao Bing so much that he treated him beyond the courtesy of a subject and regarded him as a guest.

"Long Bo has worked hard. He defeated You Su in one battle, which really shocked the world. It is no exaggeration to say that from now on, with Long Bo in charge of Jiuzhou, how many people in the world dare to cause chaos?"

When Ao Bing got off the dragon boat, Emperor Xin hurried forward and grabbed him, praising him excitedly.

This battle of Ao Bing not only demonstrated the power of the Shang Dynasty, but also greatly intimidated the group of restless princes.

Among the eight hundred vassal states in the world, I wonder if there are ten that are stronger than the Su State. Even such a powerful vassal state was defeated by Ao Bing in one battle.

When the princes of the world see this, who would not be afraid?
If Ao Bing could destroy the Yousu Kingdom so easily, he could naturally destroy them easily as well.

After realizing this, those restless princes quickly put away their inappropriate thoughts and continued to maintain their image as loyal ministers.

At the same time, they did not dare to say much about Ao Bing's plan to build a void channel in their country, because Ao Bing really had the power to easily destroy them.

Against Ao Bing?

They don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Yousu family.

"As for Su Xiaoguo, he can be destroyed in a snap of a finger!"

Ao Bing was not modest. He just smiled and accepted Emperor Xin's praise directly.

What Emperor Xin said was all true, so why should he be modest? He had won the war, frightened the princes, and shaken the world. If he was modest again, he would be considered hypocritical in the eyes of others.

“Long Bo is mighty, and You Su is nothing to Long Bo.”

Behind Emperor Xin, all the princes saw this and praised him. Then, after praising each other, they returned to Emperor Xin's palace.

Inside the hall, everyone sat down in turn. First, they continued to praise Ao Bing, and then summoned Su Hou into the hall for an audience.

Although Su Hou had made great contributions, in fact, because Emperor Xin had not yet issued the decree to pardon him, he was still a criminal and a traitor.

This time Emperor Xin summoned him in order to pardon his sins in front of all the princes.

This was a favor, and at the same time, it was also a test for the other princes. As long as they were willing to submit to the Shang Dynasty, even the serious crime of treason would be pardoned.

When the princes saw this, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they would definitely praise Emperor Xin's benevolence and use their mouths to spread the matter.

After hearing this, the other forces that are still rebelling against the Shang Dynasty will most likely consider surrendering instead of continuing to resist.

There are no die-hards. The forces that insist on not surrendering are just worried that they will be liquidated by the Shang Dynasty after surrendering. In this case, it is better to resist to the end than to die in liquidation after surrendering.

But once they learn that they can save their lives, or even their status, by turning back in time, it will be difficult for them to have the intention of refusing to surrender even to the death.

Maybe when he sees that the situation is disadvantageous, he will surrender immediately.

Emperor Xin pardoned Su Hou's crime in public for this purpose, leaving a way out for the rebels to avoid them from resisting stubbornly and jumping off the wall. This method was suggested by Ao Bing to Emperor Xin. There were two purposes: to help Emperor Xin and to show favor to Su Hou.

As long as Emperor Xin listened to Ao Bing's advice and treated Su Hou well, he would have to accept Ao Bing's favor. After that, Ao Bing could repay the favor.

It’s a pity that Marquis Su directly offered his daughter for fame and fortune, which disrupted Ao Bing’s plan.

"The guilty minister Su Hu pays homage to the king!"

Su Hou came to the hall in white clothes and bowed deeply, prostrating himself on the ground with his whole body, in a very humble manner. Everyone who saw him was moved and could feel his remorse.

"Don't be like this. Long Bo has already made it clear that Youhu is to blame for Yousu's matter. Yousu was just coerced by Youhu and had to betray Da Shang. He can't be considered the mastermind, but only an accomplice."

"Moreover, the fact that you were able to turn the tables at the critical moment and cooperate with Long Bo to take over Su City is enough to prove your loyalty to Su."

"There is the rebellion in the Su Kingdom this time. Although Su has made mistakes, they are only minor ones. They will not harm the country or the ancestral temple."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xin quickly spoke.

Just as he said, although Yousu had faults, he also had merits. When the merits and demerits offset each other, Yousu's faults were not big, but only minor.

They would not destroy Yousu's country, nor would they cut off Yousu's ancestral temple, thus cutting off its inheritance.

"Your Majesty is as holy as heaven. I am ashamed to accept your kindness. I have a daughter and I wish to offer her to Your Majesty."

Upon hearing that Emperor Xin had pardoned his sins, Marquis Su behaved in an exaggerated manner. First, his pupils began to run, and then he suddenly opened his mouth and offered to offer his daughter to Emperor Xin.

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.

They knew very well who the daughter of Marquis Su was. They had all asked Su Daji to marry their offspring to them, so they were naturally familiar with her and knew very well the benefits of marrying her.

After coming to their senses, all the princes cursed Su Hou in their hearts for being shameless, and how he could come up with such an idea to turn the tables.

If Daji had been taken into the king's harem, Marquis Su's father would have been able to get a good fiefdom because of his daughter's status.

The princes present all understood the meaning of Emperor Xin's words. Although there was no major fault, there was a minor fault. Although the country would not be destroyed, nor would the ancestral temple be destroyed, it did not mean that there would be no punishment.

It is necessary to change Su Hou's fiefdom and let him choose another place to build the ancestral temple and inherit the country.

But now, land resources are scarce, and there are no good places for Su Hou to choose. It can be foreseen that the fiefdom he is given in exchange for will definitely be far inferior to You Su.

No one had any objection to this result. After all, Su Hou had committed the great crime of treason, and being able to keep his title was already a great blessing, so how could he ask for more?

But Su Hou himself was obviously dissatisfied, so he offered his daughter to Emperor Xin in order to ask for mercy.

If nothing unexpected happens, if Emperor Xin accepts Daji, he cannot just find a place to confer the title of Marquis Su on her, he must find a good place.

The princes present saw through Su Hou's thoughts and called him shameless, selling his daughter for fame and not having any integrity of a prince.

"Cough cough!"

"First discuss the crime, then the merit."

"Right now, there is a group of Su City nobles waiting to be tried outside the palace. Let's discuss their crimes first, and then we can judge their merits."

"We will talk about Su Hou's affairs when we discuss his merits."

Seeing that Emperor Xin was interested, Ao Bing coughed twice and interrupted him. He did not object, but just postponed the matter and talked about it later.

"What Long Bo said is very true. We will first discuss You Su's crime, then discuss the merits of the princes, and finally, select a fiefdom for Su Hou to worship the ancestral temple."

Uncle Wang Bigan stepped forward and seconded the proposal. He was also an intelligent man and knew the dangers of Daji entering the palace, so how could he dare to agree with this matter?

"What Long Bo said makes sense..."

After Bigan, the ministers of the Shang Dynasty and the princes of the world all spoke up to agree. Even though they knew that Daji's entry into the palace would harm the Shang Dynasty and benefit them, these princes could not openly support this matter.

Because in the corners of the hall, there are many historians, silently recording everything in the hall.

It doesn't matter if you support Daji entering the palace today, but if Daji causes trouble in the future, then everyone who supports her entering the palace now will be labeled as a treacherous minister in the future.

At this moment, these princes realized that the deterrent power of Ao Bing's proposal to establish historians was indeed too strong. It easily made them learn to be cautious in their words and actions and no longer dared to speak carelessly.

Without historians, they could say whatever they wanted and were not responsible for their words. But with historians, things were different. Every word they said in formal occasions would be recorded.

This means that they need to be responsible for what they say.

In this case, who would dare to speak nonsense?

"it is good!"

Emperor Xin was a very smart man. Seeing everyone like this, he knew what they were worried about. He smiled and nodded, skipping the matter.

Then, he asked Su Hou to stand aside and began to judge the nobles of Su City who were brought by Ao Bing. It can be said that except for the nobles of Su Hou's line, all the other nobles of Su City were captured by Ao Bing.

Treason is a serious crime, and only those who turn the tables in time and make great contributions can be exempted from punishment. The rest will be sentenced to death for serious crimes or hanging for minor crimes, and their families and relatives will all be reduced to slavery.

According to the agreement between Emperor Xin and Ao Bing, the nobles belonged to him and the slaves to Ao Bing. Therefore, Ao Bing did not express his opinion on how to deal with the nobles, but let the ministers of the Shang Dynasty make the decision.

Actually, it’s nothing. Those who are guilty of heinous crimes will be beheaded, those who are at the innate realm and above will be pardoned and sent into the army to serve the Shang Dynasty, and the rest will be demoted to slaves.

The nobles and their descendants are all monks who possess great power and are the best source of soldiers. It is easy to imagine that it is impossible to demote them all into slaves. Only by making them serve as soldiers for the Shang Dynasty can their value be maximized.

Of course, in the past, most of them would be taken as sacrifices and offered to the gods and ghosts of the four directions.

As sacrifices, nobles were much more valuable than slaves. During every grand sacrifice, nobles were the main sacrificers, and slaves were just supporting roles.

As for now, influenced by the fact that Emperor Yu sent all the ghosts and gods from all directions to the List of Gods, the Shang Dynasty temporarily stopped the sacrifices, and the ghosts and gods from all directions did not dare to continue accepting sacrifices for a while.

Therefore, these Suzhou nobles were able to escape disaster and had the opportunity to be exiled.

After Ao Bing, the generals of the other princes also sent the spoils one after another. For the next period of time, Emperor Xin and the princes were busy cleaning up the spoils and temporarily ignored Ao Bing.

Ao Bing also had a share of these spoils, but he had said before that he only wanted slaves and nothing else.

Among these spoils of war, the least valuable were slaves. Seeing that Ao Bing insisted on doing so, all the princes happily agreed.

　At two or three o'clock, there are still...

　　Socializing really costs money.

　　Getting married, having children, joining the army, going to school, moving to a new house, and passing away
　　Hey, it’s all about money…
