"The royal families? Just leave it alone for now—"
Zong Shou only had a flash of thought and knew that it was Feng Taiji and why he was looking for it.
Looking behind this person, he saw that Zhao Yanran was also there, but there was a solemn look on his face.
At the moment, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Brother Feng came to see me specially, maybe it's just for this reason?"
I don't know that he has been released from seclusion, but he still comes to disturb me, which shows that the matter is serious.
"That's what I say, but it would be better to confirm the throne of the Seven Kingdoms as soon as possible. Stabilize the situation and avoid people's panic. As far as I know, many people in the Seven Kingdoms have been thought to have two minds recently. . It’s just that I was frightened by the layman Jiujing and lost his life at our hands. I couldn’t see clearly for a while, so I had some scruples—”
Speaking of this, Feng Taiji said solemnly: "Furthermore, if it is not certain, no one will pay the taxes of the seven countries and the offerings in previous years."
Zong Shou looked at Zhao Yanran again and saw that this person also had a normal expression. Liu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes full of displeasure.
The person in charge of the three religions this time was the one whose performance was the most unsatisfactory.
Maybe it’s because I’ve never been in charge and it’s okay to be on a boat. But as soon as they arrived at Yuanlian Realm, they seemed a little at a loss, which made the Cangsheng Dao disciples complain everywhere, which can be said to be a loss of face.
His face is not very pretty, which is understandable.
This crazy woman, can she finally understand this time the hardships of ruling a country
That's fine, so as not to spend the whole day sarcastic in his ears.
Feng Taiji's first sentence makes sense, but the key point is at the end.
Both of them were a little dissatisfied with the chaos below. The situation is chaotic. Not only will it affect their foothold in the Yuanlian world, but it will also reduce their harvest.
"I'm aware of this matter and will deal with it later!"
Zong Shou nodded slightly, it was indeed time for these matters to be resolved.
He had some idea of where to start.
"This is best. We'll just leave it to your convenience."
That Feng Taiji finished speaking. But someone changed his voice and said with slight hesitation: "I heard that the layman Jiujing arranges the thrones of the kings. He never selects the talented, but only selects those who are willing to obey. I thought about this method carefully, and it makes some sense. Or maybe You can simply choose from among the officers and men under your command. This is my humble opinion. Please think twice, your Majesty—"
Zong Shou smiled and said nothing this time, making no comment. Generally speaking, this method is the safest.
However, he has his own arrangements for this matter.
Zong Shou chose the main hall of Yuanjing Palace as the place to receive the Lords of the Seven Kingdoms.
There is no doubt that this is the most magnificent place in Yuanjing Palace.
Four hundred feet north and south are made of red sandalwood and agarwood. The fragrance spreads thousands of miles, and it is magnificent.
I don't know how much better it is than Zong Shou's Chongzheng Hall.
A man sat on the temple floor and looked down. I just feel that an army of ten thousand people can be easily accommodated.
At this time, the heads of the seven kingdoms, together with the royal family, were trembling slightly and bowed to his throne.
In fact, it’s not just the royal family. Seen at the same time this time. There are also ministers and generals from the seven countries who have a little bit of power, all of them are here.
It was bustling with people, including thousands of people. The expression was one of awe, curiosity, or sarcasm. Some may be indifferent, but everyone bows down and bows with utmost respect.
Zong Shou glanced casually and frowned when he saw the dozens of people at the front.
He was a lifelong hero. Even when he was bullied in Linhai Academy, he never bowed down to others. Even if he dies, his back will still be strong.
Therefore, the most despised thing is such mud-like characters.
Just think about what Jiu Jing did before. Just choose to be obedient. Those who are truly talented are only used, but they are never placed in important positions.
Looking at everyone in the hall, they all looked like it had nothing to do with them, or they had expected it.
Some have indifferent expressions, some have flattering expressions, and some have cold eyes, trying their best to hide the hatred in their eyes.
Zong Shou smiled and looked away.
"Where is the Lord of Daxuan?"
After the words fell, after a long time, a middle-aged man stood up with a pale face and came to worship Zong Shou.
"The little king Duyi has met His Majesty the Immortal Lord!"
Zong Shou didn't even look at it.
"You were granted the title by Jiujing. It is said that for the past twenty years, you have been following his orders to oppress the people and plunder without restraint, so that there are countless hungry people in the country, and the Yizi cannibalize each other?"
Na Duyi smiled bitterly, everything was explained by Jiu Jing, how dare he disobey
If he disobeys his orders, he may lose his life.
But before he could say any words to defend himself, Zong Shou waved his sleeves and said.
"Today, the Immortal Dynasty is changing. Jiujing is dead. You should get rid of the country! After handing over to the new king, you can take your whole family and children to leave the world of Yuanlian. And remember, during the period of leaving office, remember to help the new king and stabilize the country. . If not, my words may not be retorted—"
After saying these words, Na Duyi was first surprised and then happy. He was able to escape safely without being buried for Jiujing. This result made him overjoyed!
As for the subsequent explanation, it should be known that this is the price of survival.
At this time, even the remaining lords of the country also had the look of death in their eyes receding, and they had some hope.
Zong Shou then asked: "Who is He Daoren, the governor of Kunnan Province in Daxuan?"
There are seven countries in the southwest of Yuanlian Realm. Each country is equivalent to half a state and governs five provinces.
The governor of Kunnan Province is the smallest and the poorest in the country.
However, because they are on the border, their military strength is strong.
The governor of Kunnan Province, He Daoren, was a majestic young man in his thirties.
Hearing this at this moment, it was clear that he had never expected that Zong Shou would call him, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Then he looked solemn and stood up.
"He Daoren, the young minister of Xuan Kingdom, has met the Immortal Lord!"
Zong Shou smiled slightly and looked at this person carefully, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Even under the vague pressure of his soul power, he can be neither arrogant nor humble, which is quite a character.
No wonder several of the secret guards under the weak sailor admired this person quite a lot.
"I heard that you have resisted taxes three times during your tenure. Is this true?"
He Daoren didn't answer in silence. This was indeed true, but those three times were unavoidable.
Kunnan Province is too poor to support itself.
In fact, in my heart, I really don't want to put myself in danger.
In short, he has a clear conscience, just like this immortal king. If you really want to establish authority over others, there is nothing you can say.
"He has a lot of political skills. At least in the past three years. The number of people starving to death in Kunnan Province is the least among the eight provinces of Xuanguo."
Speaking of this, Zong Shou's expression and tone. It suddenly became solemn.
"Your character and character are both excellent. After today, you can succeed as the leader of the Xuan Kingdom! I would like to ask, would you like He Daoren to serve the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty?"
He Daoren was not the only one who was stunned when he said this. Everyone in the palace was shocked.
Those who were secretly gloating about the misfortune almost bit their tongues.
In his eyes, this is the person with the least ability to succeed to the throne.
Feng Taiji and Zhao Yanran also stood up suddenly. His brows furrowed tightly.
They had also heard about the governor of Kunnan Province.
It is said that he is very opinionated. Once he succeeds to the throne, he may not be able to obey the advice of Da Qian and Zong Shou.
He Daoren was stunned for a moment. In the end, his brows also condensed. Finally, he sighed slightly and leaned down to worship: "How dare you disobey me, my servant? Thank you, Immortal Lord, for your kindness."
Zong Shou smiled, knowing what He Daoren was worried about.
I'm afraid this one values reputation more than power. I am also worried about how to satisfy the demands of Immortal Court in the future.
Ignore it for now. Continue to deal with the remaining six kings. As if cutting through the mess with a sharp knife, the candidate was quickly finalized.
If we talk about it before, Feng Taiji thought that this person was just a special case.
Later, every successive king was a capable person in his country.
Although there is no such outstanding figure as He Daoren, each of them is extraordinary.
Either he is famous for his political ability and has a reputation for benevolence among the people, or he is in charge of the military power of a party and has a brilliant record.
The nearly a thousand people in the hall were all silent.
At the end of the day, Zong Shou did not give up, and said leisurely: "I, the Daqian Immortal Dynasty, are different from Jiujing, and do not like to force others. If you, the seven countries, are willing to be protected by Gu Yin, you can pay 20% of the national tax to the Immortal Court. If If you don’t want to, it’s okay not to be friends! Naturally, if something happens in the future, I will never come back to protect you! Just treat it as being removed from the Daqian vassal—"
Feng Taiji listened, and his hands were already making a banging sound.
This Zong Shou is so generous!
Even if there is no need to pay 50% of the national tax like Jiujing layman, there is no reason to reduce it to 20%.
You actually want to see these people volunteer
Could this Blood Sword Demon Lord be crazy
There was also a buzzing sound in the hall, and everyone looked at each other in shock. Some are unbelievable and some are inexplicably surprised.
A brilliant light flashed in He Daoren's eyes.
Zong Shou's words continued: "If you, the mortal people, have found something rare, you can bring it to my Yuanjing Palace, and I will send someone to trade it for something of equal value. Spiritual Stones and Spiritual Weapons , it’s all about martial arts and spiritual skills. I will tell the world about this matter—"
Feng Taiji was angry at first, but now he has calmed down. What is this Zong Shou up to
What is the intention behind such a promise
Zong Shouze smiled half-heartedly, but suddenly looked at someone in the hall with a deep meaning.
He is a middle-aged man in his forties with a handsome face and a beautiful beard in front of his chin.
At this time, he was trying his best to hide his figure among the crowd, and he looked nothing out of the ordinary.
But just now, the fluctuation of thoughts in that moment revealed this person's background.
"Is this the person Zuoshui mentioned? It's indeed interesting!"
Zong Shou burst out laughing, maybe he really thought that. Can you hide from him? He is not Jiujing.
If that Taoist man is said to be a benevolent person, then this person is a real hero.
"Besides, there is one more thing! The Guhui will select brave men from the seven countries to join the Immortal Court Army. If you feel you are qualified to practice martial arts and practice Taoism, you can also come to Yuanjing Palace. There are three major sects this time, and they will follow I came alone. The Cangsheng Dao, Sword Sect, and Buddhism all have the method of immortality. Regardless of the martial arts or spiritual method, they are all at the pinnacle. People from the Yuanlian Realm can worship at its door—"
Feng Taiji's face was twisted, and he couldn't help but crush the bronze cup in his hand into pieces. (To be continued)RQ
