Chapter 49: After Chi You, Emperor Yu's Retainers(2/2)
"Before I came here, I had issued an edict to confer the title of God to the Great Shang in the Qishui River, and made me the patron saint of the Great Shang."
"But Chongzhou is fighting the rebels, and the flag officers are blocked outside the city."
"Now, you have accepted this decree."
Bei Bohou quickly knelt down to receive the decree, and the flag officer read it loudly.
A moment later, the edict was read, and the entire hall became eerily quiet.
Ministers from all walks of life in Chongzhou, including elders of the Chong clan, and generals present... It was like thunder was ringing in their ears, and their eyes were full of disbelief, and they were stunned on the spot.
After a long while, Chong Hou Hu came back to his senses and quickly accepted the imperial edict, but his heart was filled with huge waves.
The king is serious about conferring the title of god this time.
It is not just casual talk to build a altar for the conferment of gods, set up a superintendent for the gods, and list the laws and regulations for the conferment of gods.
Could it be that... after King Qishui killed the gods, he issued three imperial edicts in succession, just to test?
Now I have finally taken this step.
After a few springs and autumns, one can become a heavenly being.
What is an immortal?
Chonghouhu didn't know.
But he knows.
Those monsters flying into the sky and escaping to the ground, one head capable of blocking thousands of armies, are just monsters.
His younger brother, Chong Heihu, relied on his magical skills to break the rule of not becoming a second prince. He was granted the title of Marquis of Caozhou and was not worthy of being called an immortal.
If there is a guardian deity stationed in Chongzhou City during this war, why should they fear monsters causing trouble?
"I accept the decree!"
Chonghou Hu put away the imperial edict and returned to his seat. His mood could not calm down for a long time.
He knew that this war was far from over.
This great merchant’s edict to confer gods was the real beginning.
Zi Shou nodded and said:
"Everyone, get up."
"This is a long-term plan, and we need to plan it slowly."
"You can post a list of gods in Chongzhou City. The person who revealed the list will give him a clearance certificate and ask him to go to Chaoge to ask for the title."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he saw a skinny old man in the palace, who was even more excited than Chonghou Hu.
The old man had a head full of withered hair and was wearing a thin green linen cloth, revealing a torso that was only skin and bones.
His face was droopy, his sunken eyes were turbid, his toothless mouth opened and closed, he knelt tremblingly in front of Zishou and said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, my old minister Wu Chong wants to ask for a title from your Majesty."
puff……
The millet wine that Chonghou Hu had just drank spurted out, and he stared dumbly at the old wizard who was about to be buried.
Chong Houhu thought he was crazy.
Zi Shou looked at him curiously. Although the old man was as skinny as a stick, there was an aura about him that no mortal could have.
This aura is very similar to his human-immortal essence and blood.
However, it's far from it.
Zi Shou asked: "Who are you?"
The old man raised his head and said dryly:
