Chapter 49: Weakening the Princes Abolition of human sacrifice

"Impulsive!"

Seeing Shang Rong and Bigan with most of the courtiers standing up against it, Di Xin immediately reacted.

He had miscalculated the situation, and the success of the plan to weaken the princes of the Quartet just now made him feel a little relaxed in his heart, and without careful consideration, he rashly said the strategy in his heart.

However, although Di Xin had some regrets in his heart, when he saw Shang Rong and Bigan standing up against almost half of his courtiers, a wave of anger suddenly welled up in his chest.

He is the emperor of the people, the lord of the Great Shang Dynasty! Even if he loses his words for a while, as a courtier, he should not react so violently. Even most of the courtiers followed Shang Rong and Bigan to oppose it.

How can you accept this situation as a human master?

"Your Majesty......"

The ministers below were still shouting, and the court was noisy. The stronger the opposition from below, the more ugly Di Xin's face became.

Bigan noticed Di Xin's face and was shocked.

He hurriedly pulled Shang Rong's sleeve, ready to calm the emotions of the courtiers, as for the advice, after the next court, it is not too late to advise His Majesty.

However, as soon as Bigan grabbed Shang Rong, Di Xin broke out above.

"That's it!"

Di Xin suddenly shouted angrily, and a powerful force suddenly swept through the hall, and the ministers who were making noise had to stop their voices, and then the ministers realized that their reaction was a little too aggressive.

"Shelve this matter and discuss it again, retreat from the dynasty!"

Di Xin waved his sleeves, turned around and strode away, leaving his ministers behind and staying in the main hall.

"Prime Minister, we reacted too violently just now, although Your Majesty is wise and martial, but after all, the succession time is too short, and he is still young, and he has little experience in governing the country!"

"If we were kind enough to persuade each other, Your Majesty would probably not insist on your own opinions, but now that Your Majesty is provoked, things will end a little badly!"

Bigan sighed.

"It's not that I'm reacting violently, it's that Your Majesty is acting too impulsively!"

Shang Rong smiled bitterly and said: "The law of sacrifice and the law of dividing the princes has not been changed since ancient times, if it can be changed, many sages in ancient times, including many famous ministers of the previous dynasty, they have already reformed, do you have to wait until us?"

"Dividing the feudal and sacrificing! It is the foundation of the Terran Dynasty, and rash changes will inevitably shake the fortunes of the country, and even shake the entire Terran Qi for it, this price, the big merchants can't afford it, and Your Majesty can't afford it!"

When Bigan heard this, he was also a little speechless.

After a while, the ministers began to disperse, and today's affairs in the court will not be long before the news will spread throughout the court, and everyone will know Di Xin's thoughts.

......

Bang!

After going down to the court, Di Xin's face was pale, and he swept the wine bottle on the wooden table in front of him to the ground with a wave of his sleeves, and the palace maids serving around him didn't dare to raise their heads when they saw him with anger on his face.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Fei Zhong asks to see you!"

The guards were outside to report.

"Let him go!"

Di Xin shouted impatiently, but after the words came out, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and changed his words and said, "Forget it, let him get in!"

Soon, Fei Zhong came to the hall respectfully.

"What's the matter, you're also here to advise Gu?" Di Xin's gaze fell on Fei Zhong, and his gaze was a little cold.

Fei Zhong knew that Di Xin's anger was not aimed at him, so he didn't worry too much.

He said respectfully: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, whether it is to recover the territory of the princes, consolidate the roots and cultivate the yuan, or abolish human sacrifice, it is an excellent policy!

"Oh? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all against Gu, saying that Gu is too impulsive, but you say that these are all excellent strategies, aren't you flattering?"

Di Xin's expression was cold, and he said: "You can tell me, what is the wisdom of Lone's strategy? If you can't say it, Lone will treat you as a deliberate flatterer and cure you of the crime of bullying the king!"

When Fei Zhong heard this, his heart felt cold.

He knows Di Xin's character, although Di Xin is both civil and military, wise and martial, but after all, he is too young and a little impulsive, if he really can't say it, the other party will really put him in prison.

This is the Lord of Man!

"Your Majesty weakens the princes, solidifies the roots, and can make the local expansion of the Great Shang, the local is the foundation of the Great Shang, and the local expansion is equal to the growth of the Great Shang!"

"In this way, the power of the Great Merchants continues to rise, and the power of the princes of the Quartet continues to weaken, and the national fortune will be able to last for a long time!"

"And the abolition of human sacrifice can subdue the hearts of tens of millions of slaves and a large number of prisoners of war around Chaoge, and sacrifice the gods with living people, which is too brutal, and abolishing it can also show His Majesty's benevolence to the outside world!"

"Whether it is to weaken the princes or abolish human sacrifice, it is an excellent strategy that is beneficial to the great merchants, but it is a pity that the prime minister and the sub-prime minister are too stubborn and unwilling to change ......"

Fei Zhong said at the end, and shook his head, as if he was really feeling sorry for Di Xin.

"Alas!"

Hearing Fei Zhong's words, Di Xin's originally blue face suddenly soothed, and he let out a long sigh.

He said hatefully: "Or Aiqing knows Lone's mind!"

"The prime minister is old after all! I only know how to govern the world according to my previous experience, you must know that the sky is changing, and people are also changing.

Fei Zhong should be again and again.

"What Your Majesty said makes sense, the prime minister is too old, and he has already had the heart to return to his hometown, and he doesn't want to do this kind of troublesome thing that offends people, and he can understand it!"

"However, if Your Majesty wants to abolish human sacrifice, it is best to think about it in the long run! After all, changing the method of sacrifice can easily cause dissatisfaction among the gods!"

After some flattery from Fei Zhong, Di Xin's anger subsided a lot.

But hearing the other party's last words, Di Xin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he shouted: "Lone is the emperor of people, the emperor of heaven is in charge of the heavenly realm, and Lone rules the world, what kind of god can be honored by the emperor of people?"

"This ......"

Fei Zhong was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and what Di Xin said was difficult to refute.

Indeed, after the rise of the human race, the human emperor is the chief of all the spirits in the world, and his status can be on par with the heavenly emperor who is in charge of the heavenly court, and any god must be under the human emperor.

It's just that when the human race was struggling to survive in ancient times, it received the help of many innate gods, and in order to thank these innate sacred, the human race set up temples and sacrificed to the gods with the blood of the enemy, so that the gods could bless themselves.

Even the emperor of the people, during the big sacrifice, he had to bring his ministers to worship.

This is gratitude to the ancient gods, and has nothing to do with status.

If Di Xin didn't want to sacrifice, those gods couldn't help the human emperor. At most, it no longer protects the Terrans.

In fact, Fei Zhong was also muttering in his heart, the slaves used to sacrifice to the gods were basically enemies and prisoners of war that had been defeated by the Great Shang, and using them to sacrifice to the gods was nothing more than waste utilization. There is no need to care about the lives of these slaves.

Offending the gods because of these slaves is entirely a small loss.

Of course, in front of Di Xin, Fei Zhong didn't dare to show his true thoughts.
