Chapter 1169 - - New Grand Teacher (2/2)

These requirements were really strict and Yinyu probably just wanted to insult Zong Shou and vent his frustration. Thinking about it, it wasn’t much.

If Great Gan really agreed, the one that lost face would just be Zong Shou and Great Gan.

Shiyue understood something. Was this because Yinyu had swallowed the Qin Emperor’s Dragon Energy and True Spirit?

The history books said the Qin Emperor was violent. Although the King Path Martial Arts that Yinyu learnt was strong, after all his Martial Path foundations were weak and he was influenced by the true spirit. So that was to be expected.

Legend had it that a dragon had one scale that was opposite from the rest, if it was touched, the dragon would die!

Zong Shou was a true dragon. Yinyu did two things today that touched his bottom line. Who knew how Zong Shou was going to react?

Shiyue shook his head and felt that Jin Buhui’s words were right, that Yinyu lost his bearings to protect Great Shang.

To appease the masses, he tried to draw in the aristocratic families and Confucian Faction, causing corruption to rise. He was unable to see himself clearly and didn’t know what was going on in his land.

Even if he had the twelve Copper Men on hand, he lost the hearts of all his people. There was chaos all around, the only few peaceful lands were squeezed dry by high taxes and the people there couldn’t take it anymore.

Without dozens of years of good rule, it would be tough to calm them all.

In just half a year, they wanted to start war once more. To Shiyue, it was too crazy.

As for Great Gan, they had fewer land than Great Shang. If they really fought, they might not really be weaker. When they were forced, they could gather 100% more troops when they wanted.

If Zong Shou used Saint King identity to call men to fight against the Night Demons, the world would definitely follow him. His aura would definitely be stronger than before.

Anyone with a brain would know that Night Demon arriving would be a huge calamity for the Cloud World.

Wouldn’t Yinyu be too arrogant just by thinking that he was perfectly fine with twelve Copper Men at hand?

His foundations were unstable and even with this Country Protecting Weapon, he wouldn’t be able to protect the luck of the country.

However, at the moment, Yinyu did have the ability to not be afraid. Unless Zong Shou was able to chase the Night Demons away or if he stepped into End Realm, there was nothing he could do about Yinyu.

Just as he was deep in thought, another person among the officials spoke, “During the Dragon Falling Plains battle, Zong Shou was despicable! Such that 90% of our Great Shang elites were wiped out. Please rebuild the Imperial Guards! Train a million Dao Soldiers!”

Immediately, people opposed it, “A million Dao Soldiers? However, where will our Great Shang have so much money? The land is facing disasters and requires funds. The chaos all around needs to be suppressed. The spiritual wave has been rising and it isn’t going to dry up. There are floods all around and the dams aren’t repaired, all these need money…”

“During the battle in the south, we needed to provide the army rations for the Hundred Victory Pass. We have used up all our stored rations and we can’t do anymore!”

“Those words aren’t true! With our taxes, we still have some extra. It is okay if we increase taxes. The people would be willing to help the country. At most in two to three years, we could reduce the taxes, allowing the people to rest up!”

“There is actually no need to increase the taxes. We have many mines. Recently, we have failed to find them and many fell into the pockets of the aristocratic families. There are also many corrupted officials who pocketed the mines. As long as we investigate, naturally we will have the funds to raise an army!”

Shiyue listened on quietly and glanced at Emperor Yuanchen. He was listening expressionlessly, his eyes were filled with a mocking expression.

Shiyue had an idea, was everything purposely planned by him?

His heart sank once more as he shook his head. No matter if it was or not, this meant that Yinyu was prepared to work on the various officials who were rewarded with land.

It was a right decision but he was too anxious and he didn’t have a close look at himself.

However, this matter didn’t concern him, so he wouldn’t say anything to oppose.

Since things had reached such a state, he had gotten dispirited. To say that he was loyal would be him lying to himself.

Only after another hour of meeting did the discussion stop.

Then, they discussed Yinhan. He had disappeared for seven days and no one knew whether he was dead or alive. They only knew that this person entered the Qin Emperor Tomb a few days ago.

Yinyu’s expression was filled with sadness and anxiousness.

However, for some reason, Shiyue felt that Yinyu didn’t bother about the life and death of Yinhan and was instead happy if he died.

Thinking about it, one knew about the reason. Swallowing Qin Emperor Dragon Energy and the True Spirit, Yinyu’s lifespan had extended and could rule for another 200 years. So, why did he need a crown prince?

The officials were discussing but Shiyue suddenly felt something. He used his spirit eye to look into the distance.

Only to see a black robed male who gave off a special charm standing there.

“I am Li Biexue! I am willing to become the new Grand Teacher of Great Shang…”

Shiyue’s pupils constricted and then he broke into a laugh. So, it was the Wushang Yuan Demon, no wonder! This was the reason why Yinyu didn’t fear the aristocratic family and was so arrogant.
