Divine Brilliance - Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055: In Unison

“That kid actually wrote a letter to ask us to stop the battle. He said that Zong Shou was a wise Ruler and if we fight, we will return defeated.”

“Jin Buhui? That Censorate Minister who once handed up three documents to blame the nobles for not following rules, suggesting to change the imperial exam system and title giving requirements?”

Zhongxuan’s brow rose up. He found it really weird. This Censorate Minister’s letters always came at the perfect time.

No, he should have been called the ex-Censorate Minister. Yinyu had originally wanted to change some things but in these few years the aristocrats were unstable. Because of the mind stone mine disputes in the country, battles and fights rose up all around.

Helplessly, Yinyu could only send Jin Buhui to an outer land to become a Rank Seven County Magistrate.

By doing this, he was also trying to keep him alive. Those three documents offended all the Great Shang aristocrats to death.

He really didn’t expect that he wouldn’t be willing to live peacefully at the border lands, his latest document was directly aimed at the Emperor.

Did this person think that a Haoxuan Sect would be able to protect him?

He was really silent, Zhongxuan bowed and took the document over from his table.

He looked at it for a moment and also felt speechless.

Jin Buhui mentioned within that they couldn’t send troops because of rage and they couldn’t fight such a meaningless battle.

Due to the Saint Zhu’s anger, invading Great Gan was wrong. Great Gan didn’t do anything and now, they were attacking them.

His points were preposterous and amusing to him. However, there were some details behind which made sense.

He said that Great Gan Ruler Zong Shou was a rare talent, not only was he good in the martial path, being invincible in the Cloud World, but his governance and military ruling methods were top class, so it would be tough to beat him on the battlefield.

At this moment, Great Shang was really strong and prosperous, their ocean trade was well developed. The network they laid out in the south was really interconnected.

Great Gan army would be able to get convenient replenishments of resources and they also had the geographical advantage. If they dragged out the battle but didn’t fight, the 10 million Great Shang Army would collapse.

Even if Great Shang forced Zong Shou to a fight, they would be falling into a trap.

Anyway, the letter only had one meaning in it which was that the moment Great Shang entered the south, they were definitely going to lose.

What Great Shang needed to do now was to calm down their own country and fix their politics, not giving Great Gan any excuse to invade them. Then, they could try to expand to the outer region. They shouldn’t have been trying to become enemies with Great Gan.

Using the strength of the 52 states in the Central Cloud Continent, their speed of expansion would be faster than Great Gan Celestial Dynasty.

He did sound knowledgeable but he made things out to be too easy. It was because Great Gan was strong that they had to wipe them out now, to crush their foundations in the Cloud World.

This was the best chance…

Zhongxuan shook his head and placed it down.

“It really doesn’t make sense, he actually dared to scold the Saint for turning the facts around, for holding you hostage, and interfering in governance. He really is bold. What is Your Majesty planning to do about it?”

“Anyone who messes troop morale, kill!”

Yinyu was still furious, his eyes filled with killing intent, “Before attacking the south, using him to sacrifice our flags seems good too!”

To say that Zong Shou was a wise Ruler, then Yinyu was definitely an ignorant Ruler in Jin Buhui’s eyes.

He said that Zhu Zi held him hostage, so as a Ruler what was he?

He originally thought that Jin Buhui was a usable official which was why he doted on him. Now looking at it, he was truly a heartless traitor.

Just one look and Zhongxuan knew that Jin Buhui planned to toss out Jin Buhui to gain the hearts of the aristocrats and vassal states. If Jin Buhui died, the relationship between the Imperial Court and the aristocrats would become much better.

However, then he thought back to few years ago, about what Zong Shou said to him before he left the Cloud World.

If anything happened to Jin Buhui, he would stop at nothing to take revenge!

His words were really firm, not to be doubted.

At that time, Zong Shou wiped out 37 Taoist Faction Sects all by himself, and his reputation was the strongest.

“We can’t do that! That person is a close friend of Zong Shou’s and even if we want to deal with him, it is best if we wait until the war ends. At that time, he won’t be able to say anything…”

“Zong Shou’s good friend? Then, all the more he must die!”

Killing Intent grew stronger in Zong Shou’s eyes. Zong Shou was the one who killed 300,000 of his Dao Soldiers outside of the Vast Habitat.

Such that his Great Gan lost their trump card to wipe out the aristocratic families and vassal states.

It was tough for him to suppress the rage in his heart, but in the end, he was still able to do so.

“Forget it, send someone to lock him up and send him to the jail of the Ministry of Justice. We will deal with him after this war!”

He scoffed coldly and took out another document. Moments later he frowned, and his expression turned solemn.

Zhongxuan didn’t know what was going on, thinking to himself who was it? What was the content within to make His Majesty so serious?

Before he opened his mouth and asked, Yinyu said solemnly, “It is Shi Yue, he said that the Great Gan Navy is really strong, our navy can’t win and can’t cut off their naval path. Great Gan only has three million troops but can block 10 million. Sooner or later, we will be crushed in the south. We also can’t force them to have a final battle. Kong Yao is the top Commander now and Zong Shou’s commanding ability is also really good. He wouldn’t fight us in the wilderness unless he has confidence. We have to be really careful.”

Zhongxuan was silent. He knew the foundations of Shi Yue, a late bloomer in the Central Cloud Continent. He had also heard of the great achievements of the Shi Family in the outer region.

His ability to use troops was no weaker than any famous general.

His thoughts were actually similar to Jin Buhui’s which was quite shocking.

“Shi Family…”

Yinyu subconsciously clenched that wolf fur brush tightly. Cracks formed but even then he didn’t notice.

A moment later, he sighed and tossed the document to the side.

Shi Yue wasn’t Jin Buhui and he couldn’t control him that easily, he also couldn’t deal with him as how he wanted.

The contents within were only telling them to be careful and didn’t say that he was wrong.

Zhongxuan’s brow rose up as he saw how much Yinyu feared the Shi Family.

If before, the five families with the Yang Family at the helm was the nail in Yinyu’s heart, then at this moment, the Shi Family was what Emperor Yuanchen feared the most.

The third one was the one that made his mood slightly better.

Feiyin, who commanded three million troops to the south, said that he would be able to break through Jade Straits in 10 days.

In other words, in just 10 days, they would be able to pass Henglian Mountain Range.

There were only five people in Great Shang who held the Great General Seal, and all of them had been through thousands of battles. They had huge merits and contributed greatly to the country. Their commanding abilities were top class. Feiyin was one of them.

“Speaking of which, Feiyin is one out of the five Title Generals who firmly believes that Kong Yao has only average talent…:”
