A total of 80,000 cavalrymen 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 began to become noisy. Countless flower petals were sprinkled on both sides of the street, and almost everyone fell into a carnival.
The discussion that spread throughout the huge 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 ghost! When the king returns, those people will be honest."
Zong Shou's eyes flickered, but he felt a little guilty. In the past ten years, he had actually done very little for his people.
However, at this moment, outside the chariot, the people of Daqian respected him from the bottom of their hearts.
But having said that, he has personally dealt with more government affairs, but it may not be as prosperous and prosperous as Daqian is today.
Then thinking of what he had just said, Zong Shou gritted his teeth again and clenched the handrail 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 sinister eyes.
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. Even if she wants to stop, she will not stop. Instead, she will take the initiative to desire it until she is exhausted and can no longer continue.
He quickly looked solemn and said apologetically: "I remember, after I go back, I still have a furnace of pills to refine. After a while, I can spend some time with my 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."
"Huh?" Chuxue exclaimed, she was shot even while she was lying down. Chi Chun also knew what the word "shou" in Xuanyuan Yi's mouth meant, so she shook her head like a rattle, her pretty face turned red. .
Zong Shou snorted coldly and was noncommittal. But he had already made up his mind in his heart. This time when he returned to the palace, he would punish this girl well and strengthen her husband. 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 demons 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, you can kill us!"
"Kill you, you idiot!"
"The central Shang Dynasty is about to attack the Celestial Empire. I wonder how long you can be proud of it? Qian Tianshan will surely perish in one generation!"
"This man is an evil spirit! Everyone in the world can kill him, and everyone can take his place!"
"Zong Weiran is also considered a wise king. If he has a son like you, he will definitely hate Jiuquan!?"
He cursed almost arbitrarily, but most of it was suppressed by the cheers nearby. Those vegetable leaves and bamboo slips were cut into pieces by the guards who were guarding him nearby before they reached a hundred feet around the chariot.
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 compelling.
This time, he was truly angry. A fire of ignorance burned his chest silently.
"All 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 him would 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.
Don't you want to die a good death? Lord of the demon clan? I have to admit that these people really angered him.
As one of the five military commanders, Zong Lan is in charge of all the guards except the Blood Cloud Cavalry and the Black Fox Cavalry. At this time, he is accompanying the chariot on its side, riding on horseback.
After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and then he drove off bitterly to convey Zong Shou's edict.
Ren Bo, on the other hand, smiled with relief when he heard this. Your Majesty, he has grown up after all.
Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, have a deep city. Still calm, not blinded by anger, make the wisest decision.
After cruising around the entire Qiantian Mountain for a full four hours, the chariot entered the 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 of discussion was not some national event. It was about canonizing Zong Ruoshui as a concubine and issuing 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 come to fruition. Zong Weiran's lineage had been passed down by a single line since the Five Dynasties ago.
If something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to find a suitable heir.
Relatives five generations away 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 is your Majesty so bitter and resentful?
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.
Then the second thing discussed was that Zong Shou was about to issue an edict, prohibiting the subjects in Da Qian's country from making unreasonable remarks about the king.
Ren Bo was slightly surprised, and secretly thought to himself, could it be that his Majesty was still angered by those Confucian scholars?
However, it doesn’t take much thinking about this matter to know that it must be firmly opposed.
"This cannot be done! As the ancients said, it is better to guard against the people's mouth than against the river! You can only open it up, not block it -"
The few generals next to him were all capable. However, the few 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, people will never 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 monarch, 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 Zong Shou had and whether they were "incompetent"?
Seeing that these civil servants were all firm in attitude, he 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 sage of Confucianism, to label his sect as an enemy of Confucianism.
"Zhu Zi had sinister intentions and announced the whole world with the law that reaches the sky. He wanted to stir up civil strife in my Daqian. He wanted to breed ambitions in the vassals and towns in my Daqian and wanted to take my Daqian and replace him."
At the beginning of the Great Qian Dynasty, although they unified the east, they also left many 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.
And the private soldiers under the control of the city lords were cut into pieces by Qiu Wei's soft knife, and most of them were reduced.
Even if you have a disobedient heart at this time, you will not be able to exert your strength for a while.
Expanding the military and preparing for war will eventually take some time.
"There is no need to pay attention to the city lords of Yunlu in the east. What really worries people are the demon sects. Those demon disciples are bound to cause chaos everywhere. In the past half day, there have been four demon sects around the Tianshan Mountains. Humans who use sinister and secret techniques have killed and injured hundreds of people. If we can't curb its momentum, people will be in panic for a long time!"
Hu Qianqiu is very worried. More than twenty of his disciples from the Tiger clan have died because of this demon sect. Although they are not from the Iron Tiger clan, the population of the demon clan is precious, but it is still 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 of Daqian and some casual cultivators.
"This matter will be reported to the common people, Taoist Sword Sect, and please help these two sects."
There was no hesitation. This was one of the conditions for the agreement to jointly explore the outer regions and allow the Cangshengdao Sword Sect to establish an academy martial arts hall in Daqian. There was no need to feel that one owed the two sects anything afterward, it was 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, there may be chaos. 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 nothing. But before the spiritual tide, it was enough to sweep across a cloud continent.
"In addition, one of the keys to this battle is the fleet commander. I wonder if your Majesty, can you send some empty ships back? Gu Liekong alone may not be able to support him!"
Daqian is in the central Yunlu, and its foundation is shallow.
All supplies and grain must be transferred from Huizhou via cloud ships.
It may seem troublesome, but supplies are actually much more convenient than those of Dashang. In Daqian, roads extend in all directions, and the Cloud Cart can travel thousands of miles in a day. The Cloud Ship is even faster.
However, the foundation of all this is built on the ship division. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site) and give rewards. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
