Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 18 Two Imperial Edicts
Shang Rong's voice echoed in the empty hall, his words were sincere and clear.

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court whispered to each other and discussed in low voices, each with their own thoughts on this proposal.

After hearing this, Yin Ziyu paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that we grant a portion of our fortune to recruit talented individuals from the three realms, allowing outstanding individuals from all quarters to serve as officials in our Great Shang and protect the four corners. This will not only mitigate the danger of our fortune being coveted, but also provide additional support for our Great Shang, stabilizing our country."

In fact, this strategy will appear in the future even if Yin Ziyu does not mention it.

As luck improves, if you cannot bring some benefits to the creatures in the prehistoric world, then the entire prehistoric world will be your enemy.

This question is a compulsory question.

Emperor Xin frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he raised his head, his gaze piercing with a flicker of approval. He said in a deep voice, "Uncle, you are absolutely right. Our Great Shang is now at its peak, and we need to recruit talented individuals to strengthen our prestige. I will leave this matter to you, Uncle. You must ensure fairness and justice, so that talented individuals from all three realms can serve our Great Shang."

Yin Ziyu was responsible for sacrifices and also for managing the fortune of the Shang Dynasty. Only Yin Ziyu could do this.

In this way, Yin Ziyu can also use this opportunity to support some newcomers from the Three Realms.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Yin Ziyu's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the hall, as if foreshadowing that Da Shang was about to usher in a new transformation.

Emperor Xin nodded slightly, then glanced at the ministers in the hall with a dignified look, as if announcing to the world the determination of the Shang Dynasty to embrace all rivers and seas.

It should be noted that at this time in the ancient times, the liches had long since disappeared, and at the same time, all the races had almost all declined with the defeat of the demon race.

The human race is now at its peak. Although it cannot be said to be on par with the former Lich and Lich races, at this stage, the human race is definitely the most prosperous place in the entire Three Realms!

As Yin Ziyu finished speaking, Shang Rong raised his ivory tablet high in both hands, bowed deeply to Emperor Xin, and spoke in a steady voice, "Your Majesty, the current situation in the world is turbulent. Although our Shang Dynasty is prosperous, we must also consolidate the forces of all parties to ensure the long-term stability of the country. I, this old minister, believe that Your Majesty's wedding cannot be delayed."

Emperor Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he leaned forward slightly, motioning Shang Rong to continue.

Seeing this, Shang Rong continued, "I've heard that the daughter of Dongbo Hou Jiang Huanchu is gentle, virtuous, and well-educated. Furthermore, the Jiang family is descended from the Earth Emperor Shennong, and their heritage is ancient and long-standing. If Your Majesty were to marry a Jiang daughter as your empress and forge a kinship with the Jiang family, it would not only demonstrate the Shang Dynasty's respect for its ancient heritage, but also leverage the Jiang family's influence in the East to further consolidate the Shang Dynasty's foundation and earn the loyalty of the vassal states."

Shang Rong's words echoed in the hall, causing the ministers to murmur.

Everyone was whispering to each other, thinking about this proposal secretly.

Some nodded slightly, showing approval; others frowned, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After listening to this, Emperor Xin did not express his opinion immediately, but slowly turned his gaze to Yin Ziyu with a questioning look in his eyes.

Yin Ziyu knew that at this time, the human race, whether in the north, west or south, were all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and the Shang Dynasty gained the world because of the Jiejiao. Shennong was inactive, so marrying into the Jiang family was the best option.

At the same time, it can also stabilize the rear of Da Shang!
During the Conferred God Ceremony, the nine-tailed fox bewitched Emperor Xin to kill Queen Jiang, and then killed the four marquises and Jiang Hengchu, causing Jiang Hengchu in the east of the Shang Dynasty to rebel first.

The Chan sect was also vicious and directly accepted the two sons of Queen Jiang as disciples.

This made Shennong directly stand on the side of Xiqi.

When Lu Yue poisoned Xiqi, Shennong came to his aid.

This also led to Shennong standing on Xuanyuan's side in the entire battle of Huoyun Cave, causing Fuxi and the Human Emperor of Cheng Tang's faction to be defeated.

If Yin Jiao, Yin Hong, or the Jiang family bloodline were the crown prince, Shennong would not easily take sides. The entire Conferred Gods Contest was not just a struggle between the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

But it spreads from top to bottom.

First, there was the dispute between the saints of Chan and Jie, then the dispute between the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors for destiny, and finally the dispute between Shang and Zhou.

This is the Trinity's catastrophe, and now every strategy can affect the chess game of the entire Three Realms.

However, no matter what, it is indeed time to take the Jiang family as the queen.

The queen of the Shang Dynasty was not just a lady who lived in seclusion in the boudoir, but she really had the military power that belonged to a queen.

The queen can lead the troops into battle personally.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, all rules have been the Zhou Li, and the Three Obediences and Four Virtues also gradually emerged from the Zhou Li.

However, Shang Ke really did not have the concept of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, nor did he have the idea that women were subordinate to men.

The licentious King Zhou had one wife, two concubines, and three sons.

The great sage King Wen of Zhou had more than a hundred sons!
Now, if Emperor Xin were to choose a queen, the Jiang family would be the best choice no matter what.

Yin Ziyu understood immediately and stepped forward, bowing. "Your Majesty, the Shang Prime Minister is absolutely right. The Earth Emperor Shennong brought great benefits to the people, and his descendants, the Jiang family, are quite prestigious among the human race. Marrying into the Jiang family is indeed a good strategy to consolidate the rule of the Shang Dynasty and enhance its fortune. I hope Your Majesty will consider this."

Emperor Xin pondered for a moment, his gaze firm, and he nodded solemnly, saying in a deep voice, "Alright! Since both of you agree, let's proceed accordingly. Immediately issue an edict to the Duke of Dongbo, requesting the daughter of Jiang Huanchu as empress."

Two things were basically decided at this court meeting: one was to recruit talents, and the other was to select a queen.

Soon, two imperial edicts were issued from Chaoge, one of which was spread throughout the three realms.

The Great Shang people issued an imperial edict: I have ascended the throne and ruled the world. Now our Great Shang country is prosperous and peaceful. However, if we want to achieve long-term peace and security and lay the foundation for eternity, we need to recruit talented people to join us in this great undertaking.

I have heard that the Three Realms are vast, and that talented individuals abound. Some possess the power to rule the world, hidden in the mountains and forests, while others possess the ambition to uphold the nation and society, trapped in the weeds. I hereby declare to the world that no matter whether they are immortals, mortals, demons, or spirits, anyone with true talent and knowledge, a desire to contribute to the well-being of mankind, and a loyalty to the Great Shang, may join us and realize our ambitions.

Those who enter the court as officials will be entrusted with important tasks according to their talents, achievements, and will enjoy the blessing of the great business fortune and be rewarded with wealth and honor. I will treat them as my right-hand men and trust them as my confidants, so that their talents can be put to good use and their aspirations can be fulfilled.

The task of selecting talented people was entrusted to the chief priest Bigan.

Bigan is loyal to his country and has great virtue. He will certainly be able to uphold justice, have a discerning eye for talent, select the elites from the three realms, and enrich the court of our Great Shang.

I hope that talented individuals from all corners of the country will join me in joining forces to create a prosperous and glorious future for the Shang Dynasty. From the date of this decree, you may proceed to Chaoge and submit your application to the High Priest.

This edict was like a thunderclap, instantly causing a sensation throughout the three realms.

Chaoge itself is the largest city in the Three Realms, and there are many people from various races who come here to seek opportunities.

At the same time, the heaven was also recruiting people, but the heaven had no luck and no one went there.

All of a sudden, talented people from all three realms came to Yin Ziyu's sacrificial department to take the exam.
