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

Chapter 36 Using force to suppress others
This matter is really difficult to resolve.

As a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor, many people watched Ji Chang's performance.

But now that Ji Chang wants to follow the path of a sage, he is destined not to oppose Emperor Xin's political correctness.

Otherwise, there is no doubt that the landslide and tsunami will rush towards Ji Chang.

Then, the long-planned plan of the Chan Sect would be in vain.

You have to go, and you have to agree!
Nanji Xianweng pondered for a long time and said slowly, "This matter is complicated, and we must not act rashly. Since Emperor Xin dared to do this, he must have something to rely on. Regardless, your status as Xibo Hou cannot be refused. In my opinion, you can first respond to Emperor Xin's edict and go to Chaoge on time. During the sacrifice, observe his words and actions and act accordingly. Do not rashly oppose him!"

Ji Chang looked troubled and said, "Master, if Emperor Xin really does something treasonous, are we just going to stand by and watch?"

Nanji Xianweng shook his head and said, "You have now comprehended the mysteries of the sixty-four hexagrams. Once you go, you must follow this great principle. Since you cannot object, you can take the initiative to request a sacrifice to the ancient heroic spirits. In this way, the other princes will also agree with you, and then you can take the initiative!"

After hearing this, Ji Chang pondered for a moment and nodded, "Master, what you said is quite right. In that case, I will take the initiative to propose it."

Nanji Xianweng nodded in agreement. "Very good! This will further enhance your reputation and win praise from the world. Remember, to protect your reputation, you must be mindful of the fact that silence is worse than words. Think twice before you act."

"Ji Chang understands. Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

"."

After another round of deduction, Ji Chang took Bo Yikao and personally led 800 princes to Chaoge.

Among the princes from all directions, Dongbo Hou Jiang Hengchu formed a community of interests with Emperor Xin because his daughter became the queen, and his grandson would become the emperor of mankind in the future.

You have to know that Cheng Tang had no background among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so he could only rely on Fuxi.

Once Jiang Hengchu's grandson becomes the Human Emperor, Shennong will regain his influence over the human race.

So, no matter what, Jiang Hengchu unconditionally supports Emperor Xin.

The other princes would follow Ji Chang's lead.

Because Emperor Xin offered sacrifices to ancient heroes, the ones who suffered were the vast descendants of Emperor Huang.

At this moment, all parties of the human race began to take action and gathered in Chaoge.

The journeys were some long and some short, but at this time, there were basically no mortals among the princes from all sides.

The current situation of the human race, due to the improvement of luck, has actually begun to approach that of the ancient human race, and the proportion of mortals is also decreasing.

Over the course of several months, princes from all sides arrived in Chaoge one after another.

Outside Chaoge City, dust and smoke billowed as the four vassal states, led by their eight hundred lesser vassal states, arrived in a mighty procession, their momentum magnificent. Along the road, flags fluttered, and various banners rustled in the wind, demonstrating the majesty and strength of each vassal state.

Chonghouhu, the Marquis of Beibo, was a man of great stature and build, with a complexion as dark as iron. He wore black iron armor and rode majestically on a tall horse. He had been in the north for a long time and looked very aggressive.

Nanbo Hou E Chongyu, with a slender figure and a stern face, wore silver armor that gleamed in the sunlight. He led his subordinates to Chaoge.

After arriving in Chaoge, the two did not stop but went straight to Ji Chang's residence.

Ji Chang had been waiting outside the tent for a long time. When he saw the two men coming, he hurried forward to greet them. The three of them saluted each other, their expressions somewhat solemn.

Chong Houhu spoke first, his voice deep, "Lord Xibo, Emperor Xin's actions are truly puzzling. He's offering sacrifices to the Holy Mother with such fanfare. In my opinion, as part of his ascension to the throne, he's very likely also offering sacrifices to ancient heroes. This action will inevitably impact the fortunes of Emperor Xuanyuan. We must be on guard and devise a countermeasure as soon as possible. This time, Emperor Xin is summoning the princes from all directions under the guise of offering sacrifices to the Holy Mother. This is a truly ruthless move, and we simply cannot refuse."

E Chongyu nodded slightly and continued, "Brother Chong, you're absolutely right. The new emperor has been on the throne for only a year, but he's already showing his ambition. He's married into the Duke of Dongbo, providing opportunities for the myriad tribes of the prehistoric world. He's even gone so far as to rename the fortified cities of foreign tribes, forcing their entire clans to serve him. This is depriving the bloodline of our race of purity. In my opinion, Emperor Xin is planning to reduce the power of our descendants of the Xuanyuan Saint Queen."

Although the Xia and Shang dynasties had long since replaced each other and King Tang seized the throne, it was also a product of compromise.

Today, three of the four princes are descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and this innate situation of the human race has already become apparent.

Therefore, after discussion, Marquis Nanbo came to the conclusion that Emperor Xin wanted to reduce the power of the princes. Of course, this was also reasonable.

No human emperor can tolerate the unlimited expansion of a race, as this will inevitably lead to destruction.

Ji Chang's face remained calm as he slowly nodded, saying, "What you two say is reasonable. We, the descendants of the Xuanyuan Saint Queen, now constitute the majority among the princes. It is understandable that Emperor Xin is unwilling to tolerate this any longer. However, we cannot rashly oppose Emperor Xin's sacrifice this time."

After hearing this, Chong Houhu and E Chongyu were both stunned and looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Ji Chang continued, "Don't worry, both of you. Listen carefully to me. This sacrifice is of great importance. If we openly oppose it, we might give Emperor Xin an opportunity to attack us. In my opinion, you two should just work with me. The three of us command a total of 2,400 minor princes, which is the majority of the princes. As long as we, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, are united and act cautiously in Chaoge, we will be able to deal with it calmly. Since Emperor Xin wants to reduce the power of the vassal states, perhaps we can work together to show him that the descendants of the Xuanyuan Saint Queen are not so easily bullied by Emperor Xin."

After hearing this, the two nodded in agreement.

Chonghouhu asked quickly: "Please give me some advice, Lord Xibo!"

Ji Chang paused, "No matter what, this time, we are demonstrating our power. Emperor Xin wants to offer sacrifices to the ancient heroes, and we cannot object. Since we cannot object, we will take the initiative to propose the sacrifice, and all descendants of the Xuanyuan Saint Queen meet the requirements, so we can use our power to suppress others!"

After hearing this, both of them were greatly surprised.

After a little thought, he immediately realized that this was indeed a good strategy to deal with Emperor Xin's plan!

Chong Houhu burst into laughter. "Great! If that's the case, the 2,400 princes and descendants of the Xuanyuan Saint Queen can lead the sacrifices and remember the ancient heroes. But the responsibility falls on the head of Xibo Hou. This makes it difficult for Emperor Xin to make a decision!"

Ji Chang looked at the two of them and said, "Since Emperor Xin wants to use the sacrifice to the Holy Mother as an excuse, then after the sacrifice to the Holy Mother, you two brothers will join me in proposing to sacrifice to the ancient heroic spirits. We must mention it before Emperor Xin, and ensure that control falls to our direct line of the Holy Emperor. This will also help to suppress the prestige of the new Human Emperor."
