From the moment Ling Yun issued the Edict of Grace.
The whole world was shocked.
The scholar-official class is one thing.
The eight hundred vassal kings of the Shang Dynasty could no longer sit still.
These feudal lords naturally understood the terror and malice of this "Decree of Grace," and they all wanted to form alliances to defy the decree.

The first decree issued by Lingyun actually achieved such an effect.
Such methods are truly terrifying.
Shang Rong couldn't help but stand up and sigh.
"It's not just about the Edict of Grace."
"That concubine, Cihang the Demon Consort... cough cough, she's the Imperial Consort, and her methods are quite sophisticated..."
"It seems we were blind!"
"I'm starting to look forward to the upcoming reforms..."
