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

Chapter 46 E Chongyu commits suicide

Ji Chang instantly realized that if he continued to fight, he would directly attack the roots of the Xuanyuan lineage.

But now there is no turning back in this fight for credit.

At this moment, Ji Chang realized that all this was due to the young emperor's ruthless political skills.

Emperor Xin looked at the princes below who were completely torn apart, and the mountain pressing on their heads seemed to be moved away in an instant.

A black bird descended from the sky and gave birth to the Shang Dynasty.

Even if Cheng Tang gained the world, he still had to face the huge Xuanyuan clan since the Xia Dynasty. This was the Shang Dynasty that was formed through compromise.

Among the four great princes, three were from the Xuanyuan faction, and in fact, they were in a state of complete competition with the Shang Dynasty.

If the ironclad Xuanyuan clique cannot be defeated, the Shang Empire will inevitably be destroyed. It is only a matter of time.

Yin Ziyu's grandfather Pan Geng had a problem with his foundation and had to move the capital to Chaoge to get rid of the control of the Xuanyuan lineage. This was the reason why Wu Ding's luck improved and why Emperor Yi entrusted his son to Yin Ziyu.

There is a prerequisite for Yin Ziyu to change the legal system, and that is the huge threat posed by the Xuanyuan faction.

At this moment, Emperor Xin did not expect that his uncle's strategy would force the three princes to this point and successfully lead them to deny the justice of the battle for hegemony.

Moreover, this denial came from the internal strife within the Xuanyuan clan, and Emperor Xin only needed to give some guidance to allow the fire to spread.

As long as Ji Chang ate the ginseng fruit, the battle for the throne would be negated. The political value contained in this is simply immeasurable.

At this moment, Yin Ciyu also showed a smile on his face.

It was basically done, which naturally made Yin Ziyu very happy.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and the voices of the princes were intertwined.

"Expanding territory is expanding the foundation of the human race. This kind of achievement is indeed superior."

"Yes, the South has resisted the Jiuli for many years. It was hard work, but it ultimately did not allow the human race to expand its territory in any substantial way. Besides, the Jiuli are indeed part of the human race."

Various opinions agreeing that expanding territory had greater merits were heard one after another.

Emperor Xin sat high on the dragon throne, taking in all of this.

Emperor Xin nodded slightly, glanced at the crowd, and said loudly: "Since all the princes agree, then the princes from all four directions will vote to determine the ownership of the ginseng fruit."

After that, the princes took action one after another, raising their hands one after another, agreeing that the merit of expanding the territory was more important than guarding against the Jiuli, and the majority of them occupied the court.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and then he said in a loud voice: "In this case, this ginseng fruit should be rewarded to the Duke of Xibo. Please eat it to honor his merits." The voice echoed in the hall with unquestionable majesty.

Ji Chang felt helpless, knowing that he had been pushed to the forefront of the storm.

This ginseng fruit seems to be a supreme reward, but it is actually extremely hot.

Ji Chang raised his head and his eyes met Di Xin's. He seemed to catch a hint of deep meaning in Di Xin's eyes.

Ji Chang sighed slightly, took a step forward, took the ginseng fruit with both hands, stared at the fruit that exuded infinite spiritual power, with mixed feelings in his heart, but finally put it in his mouth and swallowed it slowly.

E Chongyu, who was standing by, watched Ji Chang eat the ginseng fruit. He felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, and the blood in his body seemed to boil instantly.

E Chongyu's eyes widened as he stared at Ji Chang. The anger on his face had reached its peak, and even his body was trembling slightly with extreme anger.

This person is straightforward, impatient and irritable.

"Okay, okay, okay!" E Chongyu said "Okay" three times in a row, his voice shrill and full of anger!
"Ji Chang, you are truly foolish. Do you think that the southern lords are insignificant now? If so, I, E Chongyu, have no face to face the southern border tribes. Today, I will die to prove my resolve!"

After hearing this, Ji Chang immediately shouted: "Nanbo Hou, don't do this."

However, just as he finished speaking, E Chongyu suddenly raised his right hand, gathered all his spiritual power, and slapped his own spiritual platform heavily with one palm.

There was a dull thud, and E Chongyu's body fell to the ground.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of E Chongyu's mouth, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair, as well as anger towards Ji Chang.

In an instant, the entire hall seemed to be cast under a spell, and everyone stood there in a daze, with shock and disbelief written all over their faces.

The court, which was bustling with activity and discussion just now, now fell into a dead silence. Only the sound of E Chongyu falling down seemed to still echo in everyone's ears for a long time.

"Wow!"

As E Chongyu fell to the ground with a loud bang, the eight hundred princes in the south were instantly in an uproar, like a group of enraged beasts.

Their faces were filled with grief, anger and shock, their eyes were wide open, and some even had tears in their eyes.

E Chongyu died to show his determination. This time he came to make his bloodline inferior to Chonghouhu and Ji Chang, and to make the glory of guarding the south for generations become worthless.

E Chongyu was speechless facing the elders of Jiangdong. He was immediately furious and decided to die to show his determination.

"My Lord!" "My Lord!"

The cries of grief echoed in the hall one after another.

Witnessing this sudden change, Emperor Xin's face flickered with regret. He frowned slightly, sighed deeply, and said with a heavy tone, "My dear Lord E Chongyu, you have such a strong character that you have resorted to such extreme measures. This is truly a loss for the Shang Dynasty, and I, too, am deeply saddened."

"Now that Lord E has passed away, it is not appropriate to argue about right and wrong. You are all deeply saddened. I have specially allowed the close princes in the south to leave first and return to southern Xinjiang to handle Lord E's funeral. I hope you will accept my condolences and continue to serve our Great Shang wholeheartedly in the future."

The southern princes immediately expressed their gratitude.

Immediately, several burly southern princes rushed forward and carefully lifted E Chongyu's body.

"Let's go! Let's get out of here!"

The leading prince roared with his eyes wide open in anger.

Some close princes in the south surrounded E Chongyu's body and walked out of the hall in a mighty procession, their steps hurried and heavy.

During the evacuation, the southern princes could no longer suppress their anger and turned their spearheads towards Ji Chang and Chong Houhu.

"Ji Chang, you despicable villain! You killed my master for a ginseng fruit. How despicable and shameless!"

"Chonghouhu, you are such a profit-seeking traitor! For a ginseng fruit, you disregarded our years of friendship, colluded with Ji Chang, and betrayed our southern region!"

These hateful words were like sharp blades, cutting through the originally solemn atmosphere in the hall.

Everyone felt a buzzing in their ears and was shocked by the fierce reaction of the southern princes.

Ji Chang's face turned pale in an instant, and his lips trembled slightly. He seemed to want to explain, but was speechless for a moment.

Chonghouhu also looked embarrassed, his eyes flickering, and he did not dare to look directly into the angry eyes of the southern princes.
