Just as Ling Yun had thought.
In less than three days.
The news of the Shang Dynasty's transformation had already spread throughout the entire world.
Countless humans were in uproar!
In their view.
The Shang Dynasty is now thriving and is showing signs of a revival.
It was undoubtedly unwise for the Shang king to undertake reforms at such a time.
If the reform is unwise.
Allowing five concubines, including Daji and Cihang, to participate in politics and even lead this reform was a mistake on top of a mistake.
This goes beyond mere stupidity.
They're completely blinded by greed!
If the Shang king is allowed to act so recklessly...
The glorious empire of the Shang Dynasty was likely doomed to perish...
Unlike ordinary people.
The reactions of the Shang Dynasty's feudal lords varied...
......
The Shang Dynasty was said to have eight hundred vassal states.
Among them, the four most powerful vassal states were Jiang Huanchu, the Eastern Marquis; E Chongyu, the Southern Marquis; Ji Chang, the Western Marquis; and Chonghouhu, the Northern Marquis.
After hearing the news that the Shang king was going to implement reforms.
Marquis E Chongyu of the South and Marquis Chonghou Hu of the North were naturally very worried and rushed to Chaoge overnight, just to stop the reform.
Marquis Jiang Huanchu of Dongbo remained inactive, seemingly lost in thought.
As for Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, his story is even more remarkable...
......
Inside the main hall of Xiqi.
Ji Chang looked at the restless ministers below and said in a deep voice.
"Now the King of Shang wants to implement reforms."
"Does anyone have any thoughts?"
These words were spoken.
Ji Chang's eleventh son, Gao Shu, could no longer hold back and stood up, saying...
"Father!"
"King Shang listened to the slander of a wicked woman and became a foolish and incompetent ruler."
"Isn't this the opportunity we've been waiting for in Xiqi?"
"Father, for the sake of all the people, please overthrow the Shang and establish the Zhou!"
These words were spoken.
Many of Xiqi's officials spoke up to persuade him, their expressions invigorated.
Bo Yikao's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said...
"Our Xiqi has been a place of virtue and goodness for generations. How could we commit such a heinous act?"
"Uncle Gao!"
"Don't talk nonsense and tarnish the wisdom of our Xiqi era."
He was sternly rebuked by Boyi Kao.
Uncle Gao was equally blunt and immediately retorted.
“Bo Yikao”.
"You keep calling it utterly rebellious."
"I think you're just a coward, unworthy of being our elder brother!"
Uncle Gao said that.
Bo Yikao was so angry that his face turned pale and he couldn't say a word.
But strangely...
Ji Chang did not speak to stop him, but looked at Ji Fa and said.
"My son, Ji Fa."
Do you have any thoughts?
A strange glint flashed in Ji Fa's eyes, but he quickly returned to his submissive demeanor...
"Father."
"The time is not right."
"Even if we want to save the people from suffering, now is not the time."
"Father must go to Chaoge as soon as possible to dissuade King Shang from implementing the reforms..."
Upon hearing Ji Fa say this...
Ji Chang finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Hahahaha...
He paused for a moment.
Ji Chang suddenly stood up from his throne and said loudly.
"Ready to go!"
"Set off for Chaoge immediately!"
And shortly after Ji Chang set off.
Marquis Jiang Huanchu of Dongbo finally drove to Chaoge...
......
The four major feudal lords were the leaders.
Eight hundred feudal lords of the Shang Dynasty all went to Chaoge, ostensibly to stop the reforms.
That's not all!
Countless aristocratic families from all over the Shang Dynasty also flocked to Chaoge.
Their goal was the same as that of the eight hundred feudal lords: to prevent the reforms.
In a short time.
Countless heroes of the Shang Dynasty converged on Chaoge City.
"roar!"
The golden dragon of the Shang Dynasty's destiny suddenly became restless.
......
The main hall of Chaoge City.
Ling Yun could clearly sense the unusual movement of the Golden Dragon of Fortune, and he also understood the reason behind it.
In response to this.
Ling Yun showed no concern whatsoever; instead, a faint smile appeared on his face.
This current situation was entirely his doing.
Since he wants to make changes, he can't just make small-scale changes, much less slowly boil the frog in water.
Let's go for something big then.
Cut the Gordian knot!
The momentum of this movement is now gradually taking shape.
However, a catalyst is needed to fully ignite this wildfire.
This opportunity, however, fell to Grand Tutor Wen, who was about to return in triumph...
......
Ten days later.
Outside Chaoge City.
An army slowly approached Chaoge City.
Leading the group was a burly general riding a black Qilin and wielding a pair of whips.
Although the burly general had a full head of white hair, his face was ruddy and he was full of energy!
This white-haired general is none other than Grand Tutor Wen, a pillar of the Shang Dynasty for two generations!
Grand Tutor Wen's victorious return from his fifteen-year expedition to the North Sea should have been a joyous occasion for the entire nation.
However.
Grand Tutor Wen's face showed no joy whatsoever, only suppressed anger.
Writing obscene poems on the birthday of Nuwa is one thing, but it's another.
Taking five women as concubines is one thing.
Emperor Xin actually wanted to reform the Shang Dynasty, even allowing the five women to participate in politics and preside over this reform...
Grand Tutor Wen never expected that Emperor Xin would do something so absurd.
If Di Xin cannot provide a reasonable explanation.
Grand Tutor Wen might have to use the "King-Beating Golden Whip" bestowed by the late emperor to teach this tyrant a lesson!
Just as Grand Tutor Wen was pondering...
