Dragon bone wine tastes very good.
Cup after cup, the billowing heat rippled through his body, and the colorful flames beat rapidly. Ji Hao was sweating profusely, his pores were opened by the heat, and wisps of white air spurted out from his pores, condensing into a small white cloud above his head.
His physical strength was soaring. After Ji Hao swallowed a jar of dragon bone wine, his physical strength more than doubled.
Like Ji Hao, Di Shun and others were also drinking heavily, drinking until the corners of Si Xi's eyes twitched, and her heart ached so much that she almost screamed - the main ingredient for this dragon bone wine was hard to find, and he didn't have it on hand. How many altars are left
Are you all here to discuss important matters? Why have you become an alcoholic and only focus on filling your stomach with alcohol
"Hey, Uncle Chong... No, this 'tiger bone wine' from Chonghou's family is indeed a first-class product." Di Shun took a long-handled bamboo spoon and scooped out the last spoonful of dragon bone wine from the wine jar. , pour it into the wine glass and savor it happily.
While sipping his wine, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's discuss, how should we deal with these people and these things?"
Discuss? How to discuss
Two maids brought a large earthen jar filled with snake soup. The meat of the five-flowered viper is tender, plump and juicy. It is cooked with dozens of rare herbs. The snake soup is rich in fragrance and has great nourishing effect.
Ji Hao picked up a big bowl, filled himself a bowl of snake soup first, buried his head in the big bowl and ate it in large gulps. While eating, he was full of praise for the deliciousness of the snake soup. Si Xi's two maids were very good at craftsmanship, and the food they made was very beautiful. The milky white soup and white and tender snake meat were trembling like translucent crystal. It looks appetizing.
The food made by that guy Yu Mu tastes great, but the presentation is far inferior to this bowl of snake soup. Ji Hao has seen the snake soup made by Yu Mu, the colorful soup, the whole big snake and centipede soaked in the soup like a living thing, and timid people would not dare to eat it.
Everyone feasted to their heart's content, ate the snake soup and the fish meat made from two large white fishes, wiped the juice from their faces, and then exhaled with satisfaction.
They looked at each other, everyone laughed in unison, and then Si Wenming suddenly said: "Those elders Ying Yunpeng have committed serious crimes and must be killed. Not only them, but also their relatives must be demoted to slaves."
"Then, where are the soldiers?" Emperor Shun said solemnly: "They counterattacked at Evil Dragon Bay, almost destroying the defense line of Akasaka Mountain, and almost putting our human race into catastrophe. These soldiers...their crimes..."
"How can we convict them?" Si Wenming looked at Di Shun, smiled bitterly, and spread his hands helplessly.
Emperor Shun gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time.
The human tribe alliance is just a tribal alliance. Emperor Shun was named the King of Humans, but in fact he was the leader of the tribal alliance. Tens of thousands of human tribes, large and small clans and tribes unite together and elect a person who is virtuous, reputable, and everyone can trust to be the human king, who can adjudicate and resolve disputes of all kinds for each tribe.
However, the human king's binding force is limited, and the human king's power is not as supreme as imagined.
Many times, some powerful tribal forces were unwilling to obey the orders of the human king for their own benefit, and Emperor Shun had no good way to deal with them.
Just like praying without branches.
Emperor Shun punished him with a hundred years of house arrest and was not allowed to be born again, but he jumped out in a majestic way during the battle at Akasaka Mountain. Afterward, he boasted about how many military exploits he had made, which were enough to offset all his previous sins. What could Emperor Shun do to him
"Those tribal warriors..." Si Xi muttered hesitantly.
Those tribal warriors were betrayed by Ying Yunpeng and other elders, and they turned against the enemy at the first order. From the perspective of the entire human race, these tribal warriors have committed a serious crime and must all be shown their heads in public. The best outcome is that they should all be demoted as slaves.
But from the standpoint of their tribe, they made no mistakes at all.
Ying Yunpeng and others are their elders. They must obey any orders of Ying Yunpeng and others on the battlefield. So Ying Yunpeng asked them to turn their guns and attack the human warriors of other tribes. They obeyed Ying Yunpeng's orders. They did nothing wrong!
On the battlefield, if these tribal warriors disobey the orders of their elders, then they have committed a heinous crime. They and their relatives will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the tribe, and will inevitably receive the most cruel punishment from the tribe.
"Delegate them all to slaves?" Ji Hao said hesitantly, holding up the big bowl.
"Their clan chiefs and elders will never agree." Di Shun shook his head helplessly: "I have argued with them many times about this matter. But... so many tribes have joined forces to resist... Those warriors are all from different countries. If the elites of the tribe are demoted to slaves, it will also greatly weaken the strength of their tribes, and they will never agree."
Emperor Shun was helpless, and Ji Hao also felt helpless when he looked at the helpless Emperor Shun.
If it was a mistake committed by a tribe, for example, the Mo Yuan tribe made a stupid move by robbing prisoners, and Emperor Shun gave an order, hundreds of thousands of Mo Yuan tribe soldiers would be demoted as slaves. Emperor Shun had the power to do this.
Because the Black Monkey Tribe violated the interests of all tribes, all tribes would support Emperor Shun. Faced with the pressure from all tribes, even Gonggong Wuyou could not save the fate of the Black Monkey Tribe warriors being demoted as slaves.
But those warriors who rebelled against the enemy all came from various powerful tribes in Puban. Their tribes were extremely powerful. Emperor Shun wanted to punish these rebel warriors. With so many tribes joining forces, even Emperor Shun could not suppress them.
Moreover, the clan leaders and elders of each tribe also have their own reasons. These warriors obey the orders of their elders on the battlefield. What is wrong with this
Ying Yunpeng and the other elders rebelled. They ordered the soldiers under their command to rebel. The soldiers just acted according to the orders. It was Ying Yunpeng and the other elders who were at fault - but these elders, the tribes were also willing to hand them over for severe punishment!
Now that these culprits have been punished, these warriors should go back to their respective homes!
"I don't necessarily want to punish these warriors." Emperor Shun frowned and said solemnly: "I just want to set a rule. There must be a rule... Our human race is a human race. Soldiers from all tribes cannot just obey The words of their tribal elders.”
Ji Hao gently twirled the pottery bowl in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Shun, then at Si Wenming.
"Then, learn from those foreign races. Didn't they build a Yu Dynasty? A unified, highly centralized... country!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into silence.
Cold sweat continued to flow from Emperor Shun's forehead.
Like the Yu Dynasty established by the Yu tribe, a unified dynasty with highly centralized power? Let the king become a real 'king', not just the leader of a tribal alliance
Seize the authority of the patriarchs and elders of large tribes and concentrate most of the power in the hands of one person
Emperor Shun was covered in cold sweat, which was caused by Ji Hao's words.
