Chapter 1035: Qin Emperor Tomb appearing

“This is a great matter. Your Majesty, please gather the troops of the various countries under you and personally attack Great Gan!”

Yinyu’s eyes lit up as he looked towards Zuoxin with deep meaning.

This method was great, he would be able to kill two birds with one stone. Both solving the problems of sending a large number of troops to battle and also reducing the strength of the various vassal states.

The latter’s expression was really respectfully, “Our Great Shang has the moral high ground and also had the decree from Saint Zhu Zi. Your Majesty just needs to send one decree and the aristocratic families like Yang Family and Zhu Family wouldn’t dare to reject.”

If one wanted the throne, one needed the support of the Confucian Faction. If they tried to oppose, then they would not only be going against Great Shang, they would have offended the entire Confucian Faction and Zhu Zi.

Great Shang had already bled during the Common People’s Vast Habitat battle and they had done work. Now, it was time for these aristocrats...

“Even if these rebels aren’t afraid of Zhu Zi and reject you, you can also ask from help from the Taoist Faction. The Saint Venerables from Demon Path and Taoist Faction would gladly help.”

Yinyu was tempted. If he was to personally attack Great Gan, this might be the only way to protect the foundations of Great Shang. However, at this moment, he was still really hesitant.

“As expected from an important official of mine! This plan is great but I still need to consider it, you can back down first!”

Hanlin Academy Secretary Zuoxin raised his head and was slightly surprised. Ever since Yuanchen Emperor took over the throne, he was really decisive and quick-witted. He ruled for hundreds of years and made all decisions on his own. No matter if the decisions were right or wrong he would go through with them firmly. He was a rare intelligent Ruler.

Why did he hesitate today?

Did he say something wrong just now? However, no matter how he thought about it, it seemed like the only logical strategy.

He didn’t say anything, silently bowing and then he backed out of the hall.

A moment later, only Emperor Yuanchen, Gao Ruo, and Zhongxuan were left. action

After some silence, Yinyu asked, “What does Grand Teacher think?”

“It is a great strategy! The current Great Gan is a huge problem for our dynasty and we have to clear them out!”

Yinyu frowned. What Zuoxin spoke about was naturally a good plan however what he was asking about was not that.

“If it was a month ago, Your Majesty could reject it, but now Great Shang has no room for rejection.”

Zhongxuan’s expression was solemn, his face was really serious.

“One Confucian Faction, one Taoist Faction can decide on the rise and fall of a country. They can also decide who is in power.”

The last sentence was really rude but within this hall it was like thunder, causing the faces of the other two to turn ashen white.

Zhongxuan’s words were straight to the point.

Yinyu kept silent for a long while before continuing to ask, “I am unwilling to be restricted by them, does Grand Teacher have any plans for me?”

Zhongxuan smiled and said without thinking, “Thinking about it, only the 12 Copper Men left by the Qin Emperor can help you suppress the chaos. I have already found the location of the main tomb and not long later it would be able to appear in the world. Our Great Shang can head in earlier to take the items...”

Yinyu suddenly stood up, his face was filled with inexpressible joy. The depression and rage from the bad news today was reduced by a large amount.

With the 12 Copper Men, 12 Copper Puppets able to fight against peak Saint Realm Venerables and the legacy and equipment left by the Qin Emperor, Great Shang would be able to stand on their own and wouldn’t need to rely on those End Realm Saint Venerables.

“If we can take it out, then that would be great. I will depend on the Grand Teacher!”

He relaxed a little, a smile finally appearing on his face.

“Grand Teacher, do you think I will win or lose when I head over to Great Gan?”

“That Great Gan Ruler has become the enemy of the Confucian Faction! Everyone in the world can kill him. Even if Great Gan was a barbarian country, there are many people who learn and are affected by religion there. With Zhu Zi’s decree, this country has lost its rights and people will not be united. It will be unavoidable for their troops’ morale to be low! Our Great Shang has ten million troops and many sects working together. We can take out 200 Dao Soldiers. The three factions also can’t sit still and not do anything.”

Zhongxuan hesitated slightly before saying, “With Kong Rui there, I won’t be able to accurately predict the outcome of this battle, I can only do so through logic. We have around a 90% and above chance of winning, the last 10% depends on what methods Zong Shou has to face us. However, to Your Majesty whether we win or lose, is temporarily not a good thing for you. If we win, the various powers will become stronger. If we lose, then Your Majesty will lose your honor.”

Yinyu smiled when he heard this and said confidently, “I think it is better that we win then!”

Thinking to himself that they were cultivators and weren’t able to know the exact details within.

Great Gan’s Donglin and Huizhou Island definitely wasn’t a desolate land but was famous for being rich.

It was said that not only were there many mines there, but there were also large amounts of fertile land. As long as some normal people were more hardworking, they would be able to be well-fed and wear nice clothes.

Once they won and this big piece of dog bone was tossed out, there would be numerous aristocratic families and sects fighting for it.

They could even think of a way to shift out the aristocratic families over and temporarily solve their internal problems. 10 years later, they would be able to go all out to fight the outside enemy.

They were killing two words with one stone...

He felt slightly uneasy like this, it was the same time after time. Every time they felt that Zong Shou was forced into despair that person was able to use unexpected methods to turn the situation around.

Would it be the same again this time?

Then, he shook his head and broke into a laugh. He had no choice in this battle. To use strong to bully the weak, on rough estimation he had close to six times the troops of Zong Shou.

As long as the general wasn’t too useless, it was enough to suppress him!

Moreover, those few End Realm Saint Venerables wouldn’t allow a second failure.

Since that was the case, then what did he have to worry about?

As for Zong Shou, he was now the enemy of the Confucians? How pitiful...

At this point, Yinyu felt pity for him as they were both suffering from the same problems.

As a Ruler, no one understood how annoying the Confucian Faction was than him.

As long as one offended them and didn’t do things their way, even a Ruler would be scolded and chided.

Since they decided that he was a lousy Ruler, then he was probably stuck with that forever. ※※※※

At this point, Zong Shou was still within the Common People’s Vast Habitat and in his hand was that Blood Moon Crescent Blade.

It was from the Sky Burning Lu Family and after the person using it died, then naturally it fell to his hands.

It was actually not man-made but forged from a natural Heaven Grade God Metal, and inside it was a naturally formed formation. Before this Blood Moon Blade was refined, it was already a God Weapon.

“Natural God Artifact, how amazing.”

The person who held this sword was able to hide their aura far better than normal cultivators.

Due to the ability of this blade, that person was able to avoid Xiguan and the few End Realm Saint Venerables, using the tribulation power to attack the enemy.

Zong Shou didn’t worry about this blade. With the God Refined Sword, he had no need for anything else.

What he cared about were the laws hidden within the weapon.
