Chapter 266 Is it a human?
The entire Wanshou Hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly!
Being pointed at in the nose and scolded by Shen Gongbao, Ji Chang's old face suddenly turned red!
How dare a nobody, a lucky guy who got promoted, speak so arrogantly?
Taking a deep breath, Ji Chang looked at Shen Gongbao and asked, "What do you mean, Your Excellency? Are you saying that I am plotting rebellion?"
"Whether it's treason or not, don't you know better than anyone else? What a fucking bastard..."
Li Qing was on the high platform, but he snorted inwardly when he heard it.
Shen Gongbao suddenly laughed heartily and said, "No, no, no! Marquis Xibo guards the western border and commands two hundred princes. He has served with great diligence and merit. How dare I accuse you of plotting rebellion? I'm simply curious: could it be that Marquis Xibo's methods of persuasion have no effect on the Xiliang barbarians?"
Ji Chang frowned and looked at Shen Gongbao, not knowing what he meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have already persuaded most of the Xiliang barbarians to surrender. As for the remaining few, they should all be assimilated within a hundred years."
"Amazing, amazing! The way Xibo Hou converted people is truly amazing. If that's the case, then there's no need for Your Majesty to suppress the Southern Wilderness and the Western Desert."
Shen Gongbao nodded, then suddenly shouted to Li Qing, "Your Majesty! I advise that the Xibohou clan be relocated to the border of the Southern Wilds! We must let Xibohou's benevolence and kindness influence the Southern Wilds barbarians! As for the land of Xiqi, please order the princes to guard it!"
“Asshole!!”
When Ji Chang heard this, he was stunned on the spot, then raised his hand and shouted at Shen Gongbao!
Li Qing raised his eyebrows immediately, and was so happy that he was about to speak.
This was not a bad idea. Although Li Qing knew in his heart that the King of Xibo would not agree, if he disagreed, it would be tantamount to rebellion.
Morally, he cannot stand.
However, Ji Chang glanced at Shen Gongbao with hatred, then turned to Li Qing and said, "Your Majesty! This evil villain is trying to sow discord!"
"What do you mean, Lord Xibo? I think what Lord Shen said is quite right. Lord Xibo, since you have the ability to influence people, what's wrong with moving from Xiqi to the Southern Wilds? I'm not going to demote you. If the barbarians in the Southern Wilds are causing chaos, and you say it's unkind of me to send an army to suppress them, then you can go."
Li Qing looked calm, but he waved his hand and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty! I have spent over fifty years using kindness to influence the barbarians of Xiliang! Now that Your Majesty suddenly demands that my clan leave Xiqi, I'm afraid the Xiliang barbarians will rebel again, and I won't be able to influence the barbarians of the Southern Wilderness anytime soon, ultimately leading to a situation where both sides rebel!"
Ji Chang was furious, but he couldn't show it, so he could only growl at Li Qing with gritted teeth.
"Yeah?"
Li Qing replied calmly, his face full of disbelief.
Ji Chang shouted again: "Your Majesty! What I said is true!"
"The barbarians in the Southern Wilds and Western Desert are causing chaos. How do you think we should deal with this?"
It was Shen Gongbao who asked again with a faint smile.
Ji Chang turned to look at Shen Gongbao, staring at him for a long moment before choosing his words carefully: "Your Majesty's divine power has already terrified the barbarians. Now that they have retreated, I still suggest that you use kindness to persuade them, rather than suppress them and slaughter them all."
"Oh, so, Lord Xibo, you mean that the people of the Shang Dynasty who were killed by the barbarians will not be avenged?"
Shen Gongbao's smile disappeared and he asked slowly.
"Although the barbarians are evil, they have not committed any serious offenses. If Your Majesty overlooks their faults and shows mercy, they will surely be grateful and never rebel again!"
"Oh, Lord Xibo, you mean to say that you won't avenge the people of the Shang Dynasty who were killed by the barbarians?"
Shen Gongbao asked the same question again.
Ji Chang frowned and looked at Shen Gongbao and said, "Isn't what I said clear enough?"
"I have a question for you! Revenge or not?"
Shen Gongbao's voice suddenly became stern again.
"The barbarians are uncivilized! How can we, the people of the Shang Dynasty, be compared to them? It is better to repay evil with kindness, and they will be influenced!"
Ji Chang's eyebrows twitched, and he shouted slowly.
"What a way to repay evil with kindness."
Shen Gongbao whispered something and then burst into laughter.
Shen Gongbao laughed heartily, then knelt down and shouted at Li Qing, "Your Majesty, I, Shen Gongbao, beg you to print out the words of the Marquis of Xibo and have them distributed throughout the world! Let the people of Dashang take a good look at our Marquis of Xibo and his method of repaying grievances with kindness! Especially along the southern border, the northern border, and the western desert border, this should be spread more widely! The people should learn this method of repaying grievances with kindness! Let the people know! The barbarians are coming! Just stick your head out and let them be killed! If there is a grudge, we won't seek revenge! After all, we are educated people! We can't be compared with those barbarians!"
When Ji Chang heard this, his face changed drastically!
I feel guilty even when I say this, let alone spreading it to the whole world?
If hundreds of millions of people in Da Shang saw this, I would probably never be able to recover!
"Your Majesty! Didn't I say that the people should just throw their heads out and be killed?"
At that moment, Ji Chang suddenly knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly to Li Qing.
His voice trembled for a moment.
Li Qing blinked, looked at the two people kneeling below, and laughed: "Lord Shen, Lord Xibo, you two should stand up first."
Shen Gongbao stood up first.
But Ji Chang continued to kneel and shouted, "Your Majesty, you must not accept the words of this treacherous minister! He is slandering me! I only want Your Majesty to show your benevolence and use it to improve the people, not to ask them to endure humiliation as he said!"
"It's a joke."
Shen Gongbao waved his sleeves, stood with his hands behind his back, lowered his head slightly, looked at Ji Chang and said coldly, "The barbarians of the North Sea invade our borders year after year. Over the past hundred years, they have killed and injured no fewer than millions of our people! The barbarians of the Southern Wilderness rebel every few years! Over the past few hundred years, they have killed and injured more than a million of our people and plundered countless treasures! The barbarians of the Western Desert are the same! And yet, my great king, with his divine power, swept away his early depression and personally led the army to fight! With only 500,000 tigers and wolves, he wiped out millions of evil bandits in the North Sea! But when it comes to you, Your Majesty, you are considered unkind! I ask you, how is killing barbarians unkind? You are a man of the Great Shang, a marquis of the Great Shang! Instead of seeking justice for our people, you speak for the barbarians! Even the most ignorant men and women in the streets know that family members should not turn their elbows outward! If they turn their elbows outward, are they still human?!"
Shen Gongbao's voice was like thunder, one after another, hitting Ji Chang's face, which was red with anger, and quickly turned yellow, and then white!
Ji Chang was seen kneeling on the ground, his whole body shaking slightly, and suddenly he let out a scream.
A mouthful of blood spurted directly onto the golden palace.
