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

Chapter 43 On merit
If the dust settles this time in the hall, then the Ji family will truly be considered a distant branch.

After hearing this, Emperor Xin said, "What the Marquis of Beibo said is correct. In this sense, the Chong family should be the direct bloodline of the Holy Emperor. Today, the two ginseng fruits should be given based on bloodline and merit. The one with the best bloodline will enjoy one ginseng fruit regardless of merit."

After Emperor Xin finished speaking, he looked at the various princes and asked, "What do you think?"

After hearing what Emperor Xin said, everyone started talking about it.

First of all, the princes of the northern lineage naturally recognized it.

"My Lord, you are absolutely right. It is perfectly normal to determine the closeness of kinship based on the inheritance of the Human Emperor. It is impossible for this lineage to be the main branch without the Human Emperor. The branch closest to the Human Emperor should be the main branch. We, the northern princes, are all descendants of Queen Dayu, so we should be the closest bloodline!"

"Yes, although Ji is the Holy Emperor's surname, it is a descendant of Emperor Ku, which is too far away, so it is slightly inferior!"

"Xia Qi is now the brother of our ancestor. Xia Qi's lineage has withered, while our ancestor's lineage is the most prosperous. He should be the closest bloodline of Emperor Xuanyuan."

"I agree with your majesty. As the first of the bloodline, the Marquis deserves a ginseng fruit!"

"."

For a time, all the princes in the north were happy and agreed that Chonghouhu should eat a ginseng fruit.

At this moment, Yin Ziyu was secretly laughing in his heart. Everything was going according to the script he had set.

This time, Yin Ziyu weighed the pros and cons again and again and decided that Ji Chang would have no way to break the impasse with this strategy.

Yin Ziyu, the majestic young priestess of Luoshen, looked at all the princes for this, and suddenly his beautiful eyes were filled with surprise.

Then, Luo Shen looked at Yin Ziyu again: "Daoist Ziyu, this..."

Yin Ziyu said calmly: "It doesn't matter. To get the ginseng fruit back, we need this result. Otherwise, if the three families work together, it will be difficult for us to deal with them."

After hearing this, Luo Shen was extremely amazed at the moment. The methods of this high priest were so profound.

The entire huge Xuanyuan tribe actually started fighting over two ginseng fruits.

Compared with the smiling faces of the princes in the northern border, the princes in the southern border had completely gloomy faces at the moment, because no matter what, the princes in the southern border were the farthest branch, and it was definitely not the turn of the southern princes to get the ginseng fruit.

If it is not the turn of the southern princes, then the entire southern princes will become the most distant descendants of the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor.

"How can we say that? Our three families all have their bloodlines descended from the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor. How can we be closer just because they produced the Human Emperor, while we are farther away? Is it wrong for us to follow the Saint Emperor's will, guard the southern border, and prevent a counterattack from the Jiuli?"

"Were we to guard against the Jiuli instead of fighting for the throne of the Human Emperor? Yet now you are arguing that we in the south are the furthest from the Holy Emperor's bloodline. Such a judgment is unfair!"

"The E family should not be looked down upon or alienated. It is so unfair."

"."

For a time, all the princes in the south were indignant and passionate.

If this line of reasoning continues, the southern princes will not even be as good as the King of Xibo. How can we accept this result!

At this time, Ji Chang was even more anxious.

Now Ji Chang wanted to scold Chong Houhu and E Chongyu for their stupidity. Emperor Xin clearly wanted to divide and disintegrate us and defeat us one by one, but you are so stupid that you were completely taken advantage of by him.

If the fight continues, the three warlords will inevitably become a loose sand. What should we do?
But Ji Chang also had to fight. At this point, if Ji Chang did not fight and let Chong Houhu become the direct descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan, then Ji Chang would lose his position as the leader of Xuanyuan's direct descendant.

If this happens, if a rebellion breaks out in the future, the northern princes will use bloodline as an argument, saying that Xibo Hou is unworthy. Now he is facing the problem that if he does not fight, once the decision is made in this golden palace, Emperor Xin will definitely pursue the victory, which is what worries Ji Chang.

If Ji Chang did not fight, then Emperor Xin would continue to respect the Chong family even more. If so, Ji Chang would not be able to accept it.

However, if he fought desperately, he would lose his image as a great sage, which was what Ji Chang considered.

Now, Ji Chang represents not only his own interests, but the interests of everyone in the Xiqi Group, and he cannot afford to lose.

At this moment, Ji Chang was sweating coldly, and he had absolutely no way to deal with this matter.

The princes of the Xibohou lineage immediately started arguing.

"The Ji surname has always been the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor's original surname. He has never changed it and has always been the direct descendant. How can it be weaker than someone with a different surname? This is unreasonable!"

"That's right. If the Ji family is not considered a direct descendant, how can this be possible? The Ji family should be the first in the direct descendant."

"Your Majesty, please reconsider. The Holy Emperor's surname is Ji, and everyone knows it. You cannot despise the Ji family and favor someone with a different surname!"

"."

The discussion of the Xibohou family immediately gave Ji Chang a rebuttal.

Ji Chang quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have argued for it. However, the Ji surname is the Holy Emperor's original surname. The Ji family has always carried on the Holy Emperor's surname. If someone else's surname becomes the Holy Emperor's direct descendant, it would be illogical!"

Emperor Xin couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "What the Duke of Xibo said is also polite. What should we do now?"

Chong Houhu immediately shouted, "Lord Xibo, my Chong ancestor was the son of Emperor Dayu and the younger brother of Emperor Qi. Emperor Dayu did not originally have the surname Ji. Could it be that Lord Xibo also believes that Emperor Dayu's bloodline is not as pure as Lord Xibo's?"

Chonghouhu's words immediately attracted the support of all the northern princes.

"Yes, Emperor Dayu is the great-great-grandson of the Holy Emperor, and his surname is Si. Could it be that he is not a direct descendant?"

"Marquis Xibo is too biased. Judging from the situation now, the direct line should belong to Marquis Beibo!"

"."

Now, the whole situation has evolved into a dispute between the Western Marquis and the Northern Marquis, and no one cares about the Southern Marquis at all.

This made Nanbo Hou E Chongyu look solemn and depressed. Once the result came out, it would be a huge blow to the entire southern princes.

At present, Beibohou and Xibohou don’t care about E Chongyu at all. This is complete contempt and they don’t take it seriously.

This made E Chongyu suddenly angry.

"Marquis Xibo and Marquis Beibo, I believe we are both descendants of the Holy Emperor. How can we judge our blood relationship in this way? My ancestors have always lived in the South, guarding against the Jiuli. They failed to become the Human Emperor, but today, you two look down on them? During my time as Marquis Nanbo, I guarded the southern border and guarded against the Jiuli. The Jiuli's physical strength is unparalleled. I don't know how many of them die in battle in the southern border every year. Your Majesty, please understand!"

After E Chongyu finished speaking, he bowed to Emperor Xin.

E Chongyu knew that the competition was far-reaching and he was not capable of it, so he could only be judged by merit.

Speaking of merit, Beibohou also spoke.

"Speaking of merit, my Chong family and the eight hundred princes have been guarding the north, defending against the northern demon tribe, and fighting against them for years. Don't you know?"
