Chapter 1015: The Great King is Awesome!

"Relocating the capital is a good idea. Mount Buzhou is the center of the Primordial Continent; the capital of our Great Shang Celestial Dynasty should naturally be stationed at the center of the Primordial, standing tall upon Mount Buzhou, overlooking the Primordial."

"Our Zhaoge is too close to the East Sea. Although we have the Forbidden Air Array, it would take less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea for a Quasi-Saint to launch a surprise attack. This defensive loophole is too dangerous."

"The summit of Mount Buzhou is the ridge of the Primordial; it should be the only choice for our Great Shang capital."

"Moving the whole city is better; it saves time and effort."

"Inappropriate! Inappropriate! Our Great Shang Celestial Dynasty has already unified the Primordial Continent, something never seen throughout history. Although our Zhaoge has developed well, it was ultimately developed from an old city and lacks grandeur."

"A new capital brings a new atmosphere. The Heavenly Court is far weaker than us; our new capital should certainly not be inferior to the Heavenly Court."

……

The officials discussed it heatedly.

Naturally, no one opposed the act of relocating the capital.

A very realistic problem was that Zhaoge was too close to the East Sea, less than twenty million li away.

If the Good Corpse of the Sages were to launch a surprise attack and carry out a decapitation strike on Zhaoge, they would have no time to react at all, because twenty million li is only a matter of minutes for a Peak Quasi-Saint.

It was just that they were arguing neck and neck over how to move.

The benefit of moving the whole city is that the cost is low, and it would not affect the operation of government affairs; of course, the most important thing is that it would not affect the interests of the officials.

Although the Great Shang pays high salaries and the Great King often bestows rewards.

It still cannot withstand the fact that they have large families and big businesses.

Which of the ministers in the court and their relatives does not have a large amount of real estate and shops in Zhaoge!

If a new city were built, it would mean the value of these properties and shops would plummet.

Naturally, they were unwilling.

However, although Zhaoge is prosperous, its overall style is not high enough to reflect the current atmosphere of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty, so building a new city is naturally an imperative matter.

"Quiet!"

Watching the endlessly debating officials, the attendant beside Yin Qi shouted coldly in time.

The officials then quieted down.

Yin Qi looked at the officials and naturally understood their thoughts, so he looked at the Three Sovereigns and said, "Three Saint Emperors, what do you think?"

Fuxi thought for a moment and said, "A new dynasty brings a new atmosphere; naturally, we should rebuild a new capital."

Shennong nodded and said, "Mount Buzhou is the backbone of the Primordial World and also the Sacred Land in the hearts of us cultivators. Zhaoge is ultimately a bit small-minded; moving the whole city over would likely make people laugh."

The Yellow Emperor also echoed, "My two brothers are right. Our Great Shang has created something unprecedented in history and should have a new look and a new atmosphere to meet the challenges ahead. In addition, rebuilding a new capital can also better arrange the City Protection Array."

The Three Sovereigns all agreed to rebuild the new capital, so those who advocated moving the whole city, though unwilling, could only shut their mouths.

The prestige of the Three Sovereigns was too high; who would dare to stand up and oppose them!

What's more, the Great King asked for the opinions of the Three Sovereigns, which clearly favored rebuilding the new capital. After all, the Three Sovereigns are all solitary individuals with no interests in Zhaoge, so they naturally preferred building a new capital.

Yin Qi nodded and said, "Since the three Saint Emperors all approve of building a new capital, then let us build the new city on the summit of Mount Buzhou. I will arrange this matter; there is no need for the Ministry of Works."

According to his plan, the new capital would be divided into a main city and an outer city.

The main city would be a Spirit Treasure-type city, refined by the Immortal Court, including the Imperial Palace, the Imperial City, and the Inner City, possessing powerful defensive capabilities and various functions.

As for the outer city, it would be expanded by the Ministry of Works.

The reason for dividing it into a main city and an outer city is that as time develops, the city is also constantly expanding in scale.

Just like the current Zhaoge, it has expanded a thousand times since he ascended the throne.

No matter how large the main city he refines is, it will eventually fail to meet the housing and production needs of the capital's people, and future expansion is certain; at the same time, the real estate within the main city he refines cannot be distributed to the people for free.

Any set of properties inside would be unaffordable for the lower-middle-class people, which is why an outer city is needed to accommodate them.

Yin Qi looked at the officials and smiled gently: "The new capital will be divided into a main city and an outer city. The main city will be refined according to a Post-Heaven Spirit Treasure, and the properties inside will be distributed for free according to the level of the officials.

As for the outer city, it will be built by the Ministry of Works to accommodate ordinary people. In principle, the new capital will give priority to accepting the people of Zhaoge."

"The Great King is wise!"

Although some among the officials still felt a sting in their hearts, they could only echo the sentiment.

At least their mansions were free.

Yin Qi continued, "As for the third matter, this is a joyous occasion. Nuwa, Changxi, and I are of one mind, and I plan to officially marry them into the palace after moving the capital. The specific details will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and must be grand."

In the great hall, there was a deathly silence.

The officials opened their mouths, looking at Yin Qi in unison, their minds ringing like thunder.

The Great King is actually going to marry the Saint Mother!

The Saint Mother is a Saint!

Everything below the Saint is an ant; this is not just talk.

Even if their own Great King is very powerful, a Peak Quasi-Saint, in the eyes of a Saint, he is just a slightly larger ant. How could the Saint Mother be of one mind with the Great King?

The key is that they had not heard a single whisper of news.

And there is Changxi.

Please... you... bookmark... the... book...!

That is the Lunar Star Lord, the famous cold and beautiful goddess of the Primordial, one of the four great goddesses of the Primordial back then.

Doesn't she spend her years in the Guanghan Palace? How did she also become of one mind with the Great King?

Fuxi smiled and nodded slightly.

At first, he was very unhappy, but over these years, he had slowly accepted Yin Qi as his brother-in-law.

This time, Yin Qi wanted to hold a grand ceremony, which could be considered having some conscience.

Shennong and the Yellow Emperor looked at each other in dismay.

The Great King is awesome!

Gulp!

Minister of Rites Chen Xu swallowed his saliva secretly and said cautiously, "Great King, does the Saint Mother know about this matter?"

Back then, when the Great King offered incense at Nuwa Palace, a lewd poem provoked the Saint Mother's great fury.

If not for the Great King being more skilled, Great Shang would have been gone long ago.

Now that the Great King actually wants to marry the Saint Mother, he needs to confirm the authenticity of this matter; it must not be the Great King's wishful thinking, forcing the Saint Mother to the side of the Anti-Shang Alliance.

Yin Qi nodded and said, "Of course she knows. Concubine Feng of Chenxi Palace is actually the Nuwa Good Corpse. It is just that back then, Great Shang's wings were not yet full, and my cultivation was not yet complete, so I did not announce her identity, which wronged her. This time, taking advantage of the joy of moving the capital, I will hold a make-up wedding for Nuwa, which counts as a small compensation for her."

Whoosh!

The assembled officials were in an uproar once again.

The Saint Mother had actually entered the palace long ago!

The Great King is awesome!

Apart from this sentence, they could not think of any other words in their minds.

No wonder the Nuwa Saint would support the Great King so strongly back then and stand on the side of Great Shang; it turns out she had long been "convinced" by the Great King.

"Congratulations, Great King!"

The assembled officials shouted in unison, feeling extremely excited and honored.

………

After the meeting adjourned.

Wen Zhong returned to the office of the Military Affairs Department and immediately set about deploying troops and generals to encircle and suppress the six sects.

At the same time, Shang Rong personally drafted an announcement.

After the announcement was written, he had people announce it to the outside world through channels such as the official Douyin account and the Yin Shang Express, proclaiming it to the world.

In an instant, Honghuang shook, and it shook people to the point of being dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, what is the situation? Has Great Shang gone crazy to dare to blaspheme Saint Mother Nuwa like this! Could it be that someone is being controlled by the various Saints and deliberately issued this announcement to sow discord between Great Shang and Saint Mother Nuwa?"
