However, since he had already done it, there was no way he would back down just because of those words.
It was still Duan Wang who spoke. "This subject and the rest of the officials naturally do not mean that, what they mean is, Your Majesty, you can first find a suitable candidate, and once you find a suitable candidate, after cultivating for a while, you can let them go train. But before that, if they do not understand anything, they can just rush up, and then disappear one by one. What would others think of His Majesty and the Heavenly Court Army?
Could it be that a bunch of Heavenly Kings couldn't handle a single rebel, and were instead killed a large number of Heavenly Kings?" If word of this got out, wouldn't it become a joke? As for the vacant position of Heavenly King, everyone present can help to manage it for now. Once His Majesty finds a suitable candidate, he can directly hand it over to them for transfer.
As he finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes that were atop the Main Hall of the Heavenly Palace had already completely narrowed. He stared fixedly at Duan Wang, and then, swept his gaze across Chen Xiao and the rest one by one.
Finally, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Is this what all my dear sirs mean?"
Only Chen Xiao and the other three people cupped their fists and said: "What Duan Wang said is all for the sake of the Heavenly Court. We naturally agree with what he said, and like what he said, if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to sit in this position, and not long after going up, you would be killed by the rebel bandits. At that time, you would lose our Heavenly Court's face as well!"
Seeing their orderly reactions, the Heavenly Emperor immediately understood that these people must have communicated with each other in private before they dared to say such words.
He wanted to retort, but the words of the old man were accurate. If those fellows were experienced enough, why would they have lost five Heavenly Kings consecutively?
This was an unbelievable situation, no matter where it was placed.
However, the Celestial Emperor was displeased.
Duan Wang and the others had joined forces to defeat him!
Why did he want to split the four great Heavenly Kings into sixteen Heavenly Kings?
Wasn't it because he didn't want to see such a huge thing happen?
However, how long have these guys been in office? Less than a hundred years?
There was actually a scene of a joint execution!
If he did not agree today, and if there were to be any more raids against the other Heavenly Kings, when word got out, how could he, the Heavenly Emperor, show his face?
But if he agreed, wouldn't he compromise with Duan Wang and the others?
This was the same as him personally helping these guys gain power!
If so, would others follow suit?
As his eyes sparkled, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly looked towards the other five Heavenly Kings, who had been standing at the side the entire time not daring to make a sound, and asked in a deep voice, "Honorable Sisters, what do you think?"
The Heavenly Emperor's gaze sent chills down their spines, but they understood what he meant.
In the end one of the men stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is important that we think things through for a long time, not something that we can decide with just a few words. After all, this is a matter that concerns the lives of all the people in the world, so we can't let any harm come to us just because of our selfishness!"
The moment he said that, Duan Wang's expression changed as he angrily rebuked, "Ridiculous! Could it be that I am saying these words for my own sake? When did you hear that I was demanding authority from His Majesty? Besides, am I not telling the truth? If you were strong enough, would I say so? Even though we have the protection of an army of a million soldiers, we were still able to become like this. As Heavenly Kings like them, I feel ashamed! Shame! "
As soon as he said that, the Heavenly King's expression froze.
He wanted to retort, but he didn't have the slightest opportunity, nor was he able to find an excuse to do so.
Is what Lord Duan said wrong?
No!
Did Duan Wang fight for power for him?
Neither did I.
Even until now, he had yet to mention the issue of ownership, and had only said that he would give it to the other Heavenly Kings to replace him temporarily!
The Heavenly King did not speak further. A haze flashed across the Heavenly Emperor's eyes as he glanced at Duan Wang and continued, "Then what do you think of my beloved official? After losing five Heavenly Kings, who would be more suitable to be the representative for these five Heavenly Kings? "
This subject feels that Chen Wang, Xiang Wang, Wen Wang, Meng Wang, Yue Wang, and the other two aren't considered suitable candidates. During the reign of these five, they have already made many meritorious deeds for the extermination of the rebels, and have already gained the experience of managing a large number of troops, so they have a lot of experience dealing with the rebels as well as being responsible for acting on one side. There is absolutely no problem with that. Duan Wang said in a deep voice.
As these words rang out, Chen Wang and the rest fell silent. At the same time, the expressions of the other five Heavenly Kings started to change.
In five huge territories, none of them were able to get any of them?
Even if it was just a proxy, they would definitely be able to reap great benefits from it.
Besides, who knew how long this agent would act?
It might take a year, two years, ten years, or even a hundred years. It all depended on luck.
No wonder Duan Wang and the others dared to go against the Emperor. Their feelings were for the five Heavenly Kings to use their power!
If they could succeed, they would be willing to do it. Although it would be hated by the king, sooner or later, he would have a chance to improve it. He might even become a soldier from then on, and even if the king was disgusted, he wouldn't dare to do anything to them!
The expressions of the five of them changed, causing the expression of the Celestial Emperor to darken even more.
Ni Li glanced at Duan Wang and the others before waving his hand and saying, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided with just a few words. It is best to wait until the next day when the court officially opens before reporting again. We will see what other people have in mind. If no one has any objections, then it is decided!"
If he were to continue, it would definitely backfire. He could only clasp his hands and say, "Yes, Your Majesty is wise, we will definitely discuss this matter with the ministers before requesting for Your Majesty to decide it. After all, it is no small matter, and we must treat it with extreme caution."
"Mm, since that's the case, then disperse!" The Celestial Emperor waved his hand.
Seeing this, everyone quickly cupped their hands in response, and one by one, they quickly turned around and walked out of the great hall of the Heavenly Palace.
