410 A Different Emperor Xin
At Great Shang’s capital…

Although you’ve become the Deputy Sect Master of the Buddhist League, you were not bald. At this time, they didn’t have such strict rules.

The two Saints did not stop you from leaving.

They believed that you had already been enlightened by the Grade-12 golden lotus and were completely devoted to Buddhism.

“Greetings, General Zhao!”

You had been away for more than a year, but you were still very famous in the capital.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw you, they immediately knelt down and paid their respects.

You pointed at the tall building beside the palace hall and asked in confusion, “Get up. Let me ask you, when was that tall building built?”

“My Lord, that’s the Star-Picking Tower that Emperor Xin ordered to be built last year. Immortals often come down to the mortal world to drink and have fun with the emperor.

You instantly frowned.

Since even a Star-Picking Tower had been built, there was indeed a problem.

“Are all the ministers still around?” you asked the soldiers again.

“My Lord, Prime Minister Shang died of illness not long after you left last year. The barbarians of West-Hill rebelled and Grand Preceptor Wen led troops to quell the rebellion. Now, there are only four officials in the court, Prime Minister Bi Gan, Wei Ziqi, Fei Zhong, and You Hun.”

When you heard this, you nodded slowly. You finally understood where the problem was.

The world’s inertia was still very large.

It would be fine if he paid attention to it, but if he was not careful, the plot would be corrected from another direction.

There was no rebellion in the North Sea and no rebellion in the West-Hill.

Shang Rong had died long ago, and he was more loyal than Wei Zirui, but if Emperor Xin wanted to do something, they could not stop him.

After you gathered enough information, you immediately flew into the palace.

In the palace…

Emperor Xin had not attended court for almost half a year.

“Come on, hit the Dengwen Drum for me,” you directly ordered the soldiers of the palace.

The Dengwen Drum was the signal to the officials to announce the start of the dynasty.

In the past, the morning song would often be sounded, but now, it had not been sounded for a long time.

“General Zhao…”

The few soldiers were a little hesitant.

Yet, you directly said in a cold voice, “If anything happens, this general will bear the responsibility alone.”

Under your domineering aura, the drum that had been silent for half a year reverberated throughout the entire capital.

The officials were all stunned when they heard the drum. No matter what they were doing, they quickly packed up and headed to the palace.

The Dengwen Drum sounded, and those who did not arrive before the third drumming would be beheaded.

Soon, a large number of officials entered the palace.

When they saw you standing in the center, some were surprised, while others were terrified.

You didn’t pay any attention to these ministers, but quietly waited for Emperor Xin.

You had thought a lot during this time.

If Di Xin could be saved, you would do your best since you were from the same hometown.

But if it really can’t be done, then you are planning to take over the fate of the human race and lead Great Shang to fight against Western Qi.

Soon, after the second drum beat, all of the officials had arrived. The only one who had yet to arrive was the Human Emperor, Di Xin.

Doctor Shang, with his big belly, stood out and asked you, “My Lord, why did you sound the drums to gather the officials.”

During this period, he had been in charge of the political affairs of Great Shang as an assistant minister, and he had indeed gained a lot. Moreover, as a person in a high position, he had also developed a habit of looking down on everyone.

Even when he was facing you, he was still very arrogant.

“Doctor Shang?” you asked with some uncertainty.

The change was too great. Doctor Shang was at most 150 to 160 pounds before, but now he was at least 400 pounds.

“Wrong! It’s Deputy Prime Minister, You Hun,” Doctor Shang corrected him in dissatisfaction.

Of course, you controlled the strength of your punch and only managed to severely injure him.

“Aiya. It hurts so much. Men, someone is committing a crime in front of the palace, arrest him.”

You Hun spat out blood as he lay on the ground.

Immediately, a large number of soldiers rushed into the hall. However, after realizing that they were going to capture you, all the soldiers consciously retreated.

Your mighty name had spread throughout the entire Shang army.

“General Zhao, you beat up the Deputy Prime Minister the moment you returned. It’ll be hard to explain to His Majesty when he comes later.”

Just then, a very invisible voice came from your side.

When you turned around, you saw Fei Zhong, who was in charge of the Delinquents.

Your eyes immediately narrowed.

Although Fei Zhong was a cultivator, he had not even reached the Immortal realm previously.

However, Fei Zhong now had the cultivation base of a peak-stage Heaven Immortal.

After a year of practice, how could Fei Zhong have cultivated at such a godly speed?

“Hmph, I’ll wait for the emperor to decide what to do with me. All of you, stand still. Great Shang has fallen to this state in just a year. I’ll settle the score with you when the time comes,” you said with a cold snort.
All of the officials were embarrassed.

Bi Gan and Wei Ziqi had no choice but to talk.

They didn’t want to see Great Shang continue to decline, but they couldn’t change the current situation by following the path of officials.

When the third drum beat was heard, Emperor Xin brought a woman into the hall.

“Oh, it’s General Zhao. I was wondering why someone would give the order to beat the drum.”

Emperor Xin was casually lying on his throne, and his tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

You were only guessing at first, but you were only sure after hearing Di Xin’s tone.

The Emperor Xin in front of him was no longer the Emperor Xin He used to be.

Otherwise, according to that transmigrator’s personality, the first thing he would do when he saw you was to call you Big Brother and then tell you all the grievances he had suffered.

‘Is he dead? Or is he sealed?’

You looked at Emperor Xin for a long time, but you still couldn’t tell if he was dead or alive.

“I heard that the emperor has taken in a concubine. She is very beautiful. Since this general has returned, I naturally have to take a look,” you said contemptuously.

In an instant, all the ministers in the palace were shocked. Everyone knew that Emperor Xin was obedient to Su Daji and loved her very much.

But now that you directly said such frivolous words, how could Di Xin take it?

As expected, Emperor Xin immediately stood up and snarled, “How dare you, you traitor!? You dare to take advantage of my concubine? Men, take him down!”
