A total of 80,000 cavalry lined up in a neat queue, guarding the chariot pulled by twelve dragons and horses as it entered the spacious street.
Then the whole Qiantian Mountain City started to become noisy. Countless flower petals were sprinkled on both sides of the street, and almost everyone was caught up in the carnival.
The discussion that spread throughout the giant city was instantly eliminated, and was replaced by endless cheers.
"Really your Majesty?"
"The king is finally back!"
"In your absence these past few years, I always feel uneasy—"
"When Your Majesty returns, I, Da Qian, will surely sweep across Liuhe and unify the Yun Realm!"
"Unify, you big-headed devil! When the king returns, those people will be honest."
Zong Shou's eyes flashed with strange light, but he felt a little guilty. In the past ten years, he has actually done very little for his people. However, at this time, outside the chariot, the respect for him by these large numbers of people comes from the bottom of their hearts.
But then again. He has personally dealt with more government affairs, but Daqian may not be as prosperous as it is today.
Then thinking of just now, Zong Shou gritted his teeth and clenched the armrest beside him into pieces!
This is really unreasonable!
Xuanyuan Yi was beside him, covering his lips with his hands and suppressing his laughter.
Zong Shou didn't hide it from her when he gathered the sound with his soul thoughts, so he could find out.
At that time, Xuanyuan Yiren almost had cramps from laughing, and her image as the mother of the country was gone.
Then Zong Shou smiled "hehe" and looked over with a sinister look.
Xuanyuan Yiren's breath suddenly suffocated, and he thought of Ruoshui Kong Yao, who was no longer in Qiantian at this time.
If this guy catches her acting recklessly, she won't be able to bear it alone.
The power of the Sky Fox can make people desire immortality and death. She couldn't stop even if she wanted to. Instead, she would take the initiative to crave it until she was exhausted and couldn't continue. She quickly looked solemn and said apologetically: "I remember, after I go back, I still have a pot of pills to refine. After a while, you can spend some time with your husband."
Then he glanced sideways at Chu Xue next to him, and a smile flashed in his beautiful eyes: "If my husband feels lonely and uncomfortable, why don't you take Xue'er in? You can also put it in the mouths of all my people."
"Eh?" Chuxue exclaimed, she was shot while lying down. Chi Chun also knew what the word "shou" in Xuanyuan Yi's mouth meant, and he shook his head like a rattle, his pretty face turning red.
Zong Shou snorted coldly and was noncommittal. But he had already made up his mind that when he returned to the palace this time, he would punish this girl well and boost her power. The excuse of making alchemy was of no use to him this time.
At this moment, Zong Shou suddenly felt something in his heart and looked outside the translucent curtain with a solemn expression.
A dozen figures in Confucian uniforms suddenly stopped in front of the queue and blocked the middle of the street.
Surrounded by hundreds of rotten vegetable leaves and bamboo slips and scrolls, they were all thrown over.
"Zong Shou, you, a tyrant and a Confucian enemy, will not die a happy death!"
"How can the evil heretic and the king of the demon clan be the leader of a country!"
"Didn't you say that you are going to burn a few people to embarrass the Confucians? If you have the ability, kill us!"
"Kill you, this ignorant and foolish king!"
"The central Shang Dynasty is about to attack the Celestial Empire. How long can you be proud of it? Qian Tianshan will surely perish in one generation!"
"This person is an evil spirit! Everyone in the world can kill him, and everyone can take his place!"
"Zong Weiran is considered a wise king. If he has a son like you, he will definitely hate Jiuquan!?"
He cursed almost arbitrarily, but was mostly suppressed by the cheers nearby. Those vegetable leaves and bamboo slips are not even a hundred feet away from the chariot. He was cut into pieces by the guards who were guarding him nearby.
The dozen or so Confucian scholars in front were also forcibly captured and pulled away from the royal road.
It was just a small storm, and it calmed down in an instant.
Zong Shou sat quietly on the throne in the car without saying a word. The murderous intent in his eyes was even more cold and threatening.
This time, he was truly angry. A fire of ignorance burned my chest silently.
"All the participants will be detained in solitary confinement in the Ministry of Punishment. They will not be tortured or embarrassed. They will be dealt with after one month!
I really wanted to kill these people right now, but I knew that if I were willful at this moment, it would make those Confucian scholars even more happy and more eloquent.
At that time, Zong Shou had established himself as a tyrant. And these Confucian scholars who blocked the road and cursed will definitely be regarded as heroes.
Zong Shou is by no means a magnanimous person, but even if he wants these people to die, he must kill them legitimately after their reputation is ruined.
Do you want to die a good death? The king of demon clan? I have to admit that these people really pissed him off. Zong Lan, as one of the five military commanders, was in charge of all the guards except the Blood Cloud Cavalry and the Black Fox Iron Cavalry. At this time, he was accompanying the chariot on the side, planning After hearing the words, Ma Erxing was stunned, a little surprised, and then he drove away bitterly to convey Zong Shou's edict.
As for Ren Bo, he smiled with relief when he heard this. Lord, he has finally grown up.
Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, the city is deep. Still calm, not dazzled by anger, and made the wisest decision.
Toured around the entire Qiantian Mountain for a full circle. A full four hours later, the chariot entered Qiantian Mountain under the escort of 20,000 blood cloud riders.
Returning to Hanyan Palace, Zong Shou temporarily suppressed his long-held desire and summoned all the important ministers to the Shenzhen Palace.
However, the first topic discussed was not a national event. Instead, she canonized Zong Ruoshui as a concubine and issued an edict to the people of Daqian.
Who said Zong Shou has only had one concubine and one concubine in recent years
The ministers had no objections to this matter, but were happy to see it succeed. Zong Weiran's lineage has been a single lineage since the Five Dynasties ago.
If something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to find a suitable heir.
Relatives beyond five generations are still too far away after all. Your Majesty is now enlightened and is finally willing to spread the branches. That would be great.
It's just that the canonization of a concubine is a happy event, but why does your Majesty look so bitter and hateful
However, it seemed that Zong Shou was not affected too much by being blocked and scolded on the road. Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
The second thing that was discussed was that Zong Shou was about to issue an edict, prohibiting the subjects of Daqian's country from making irresponsible remarks about the king. Ren Bo was slightly surprised, and secretly thought to himself, could it be that his king was still angered by those Confucian scholars
However, one does not need to think too deeply about this matter to know that it must be firmly opposed.
"This is not allowed! As the ancients said, it is better to guard against the people's mouth than to guard against the river! We can only open it up, not block it -"
The few generals next to him are all capable. Several civil servants opposed it in unison.
Xu Shu, who was already the Right Envoy of the Senate Hall and the Deputy President of the Senate, also bowed and admonished: "Your Majesty also said at the beginning that in our country, we must not let others sin by talking to others. How can we go back on our word now? If your Majesty is angry with those Confucian scholars, there is no need to do this. I, Da Qian, have my own national laws to punish him. If he disturbs the emperor, intends to assassinate, and insults the king, he should be punished!"
Zong Shou was speechless, he couldn't talk to these people. What really annoyed him was the discussion about how many concubines he had in his clan, and whether he was 'incompetent'
Seeing that these civil servants were all firm in attitude, I felt a little unreasonable. After a brief argument, Zong Shou had no choice but to give up.
Then the third thing happened, it was the turn of Zhu Zi, the first Confucian sage, to label his sect as an enemy of Confucianism.
"Zhu Zi has sinister intentions and announces the whole world with the law that reaches the sky. He wants to provoke civil strife in our Dagan. He will breed ambitions in the vassals and towns of our Dagan and want to take my Dagan and replace him."
At the beginning of the Great Qian Dynasty, although they were unified in the east. But it also left a lot of tails. Many city lords still maintained their autonomy and were just vassals.
Fortunately, in the past few years, many towns have taken the initiative to become cities directly under the jurisdiction of Daqian.
The private soldiers under the control of the city lords were also cut by Qiu Wei's soft knife, and most of them were reduced. At this time, even if they had a disobedient heart, they were unable to exert their strength for a while.
It will take some time to expand the army and prepare for war. "There is no need to pay attention to those city lords in Yunlu in the east. What really worries people are the demon sects. Those demon disciples are bound to cause chaos everywhere. In this half day, only Tianshan Around us, there are four murder cases involving members of the Demon Sect using sinister and secret techniques, with hundreds of people killed and injured. If we cannot curb its momentum, people will be in panic for a long time!"
Hu Qianqiu was very worried. More than twenty of his disciples from the Tiger clan had died because of this demon sect. Although they are not from the Iron Tiger lineage, the demon clan's population is precious, but it is also heartbreaking.
These tiger clan children did not die on the battlefield, but died in the devil's plan.
Zong Shou frowned, knowing that the demon sect's rebellion could not be completely suppressed by a few vassal sects and some casual cultivators from Daqian.
"This matter will be reported to the Cangshengdao Sword Sect and asked for help from these two sects."
There was no hesitation. This was one of the conditions for the agreement to jointly explore the outer lands and allow the Cangshengdao Sword Sect to establish an academy martial arts hall in Daqian. There is no need to feel that one owes these two religions anything afterward, it is time for them to contribute.
"In this way, Donglin and Huizhou should be stable. Only Nanfeng Yunlu has been calmed down not long ago. After this storm, chaos may break out. Heavy troops will be needed to suppress it."
The person who spoke this time was the Privy Council envoy Qiu Wei, who was still calm and indifferent, with the air of a general.
"At least 300,000 third-level elite troops are needed to ensure the stability of Nanfeng Yunlu. However, this amount of troops can only last for three months at most!"
Zong Shou looked solemn. Three hundred thousand third-level elite soldiers were already a considerable force.
In the cloud world at this time, it was naturally nothing. But before the spiritual tide, it is enough to sweep across a cloud continent. "In addition, one of the keys to this battle is the naval commander. I wonder if your Majesty, can you send some empty ships back? Gu Liekong alone, I'm afraid. It’s unbearable!”
Daqian is in the central cloud land and has a shallow foundation.
All supplies and grain need to be transferred from Huizhou by cloud ships.
It seems troublesome, but supplies are actually much more convenient than Dashang. In the country of Daqian, roads extend in all directions, and a Fanyun car can travel thousands of miles in a day. The cloud ship is even faster.
But the foundation of all this is based on the ship division.
