Renbo who was at the side also frowned, bowing slightly, "Ruler please reconsider! You can't destroy this good governance because of a moment of anger! "
Someone started, and it was the most famous prime minister in Gantian Mountain City, Renbo. The hundreds of speechless members of the Senate immediately burst into tears and begged for mercy.
Chai Yuan sneakily used the garlic liquid in his sleeves to wipe his eyes. Instantly his eyes turned red, tears flowing down his old face as he said sincerely, "Ruler! Today we were disrespectful and offended the ruler's prestige, we deserve to die! However, you must not abolish the best policy in all of history just because of us! Ruler is wise and knows that governance can't be easily destroyed, laws can't be easily changed! "
Hu Qianqiu knelt at the side, mocking in his heart.
The first time he met in the meeting hall, the first time he knew about the power and responsibility of this meeting.
That Chai Yuan even personally told him that the ruler was too young. Jun Shang is really too young, this move is stupid beyond compare.
What did he say at the start? He nodded his head in agreement. No! At that time, he scolded him! Hu Qianqiu was able to see the benefits of participating in the political discussion at first glance.
At this moment, he couldn't cry and couldn't lower his face to learn from Chai Yuan. He could only say unhappily, "Your highness, although Chai Yuan and I often fight, the moment we leave the meeting hall, we are good brothers who carry knives together. Moreover, all of us didn't mess up the governance matters. Today's tariff was because Chai Yuan bullied us too much! If it was a good governance that was beneficial to the people, there would be no stopping it. Wasn't the budget that prime minister took out this year the same? "
Chai Yuan's expression changed as he stared viciously at Hu Qianqiu, like he wanted to turn his gaze into a knife to slice this fellow into thousands of pieces. How did he look like a life and death brother at all?
Behind the 2 of them was a human race scholarly dressed middle-aged man, "Minister Xushu, 2 years ago I was lucky enough to be chosen as a meeting member. At that time I didn't understand, but now I respect the ruler. This meeting hall is similar to what the ancient saint emperor did! Our human race lives under Gantian Mountain rule and has always had a nervous heart. Only in recent years did I know that the ruler treats us all equally! Therefore, I beg the ruler to show mercy and take back the order! "
As his voice fell, he actually kowtowed three times in a row. His expression was solemn, and his forehead was already bleeding.
Zong Shou's expression also softened. He didn't really want to abolish the council system in the first place. He just wanted to regain some face. Now that there was a way out, he naturally took advantage of it. He said coldly, "Fine! I will keep this meeting hall for the time being. However, he had to be punished for his mistake in front of the palace. Look at all of you, you're all disheveled. You're all old people, but today you look like three-year-old children. What do you look like? Since you're not afraid of losing face, then I'll let you lose as much face as you want. Today, go back and reflect on your mistakes. Think carefully. Tomorrow morning, all of you will scram to the streets and clean one street each. You are not allowed to use spiritual techniques for half a year! "
Hu Qianqiu, Chai Yuan and the others first relaxed, but then they were startled, their faces bitter.
What were their identities? How could he sweep the streets? Wouldn't they lose all their face?
They really wanted Zong Shou to hit them dozens of times to make them feel better.
Following which Zong Shou's gaze shifted to Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou.
"The two of you are the most bold! Each of you will be hit 80 times and be punished for a month! I want ten thousand kilograms of it … "
After saying that, Zong Shou still felt hatred. He had an idea and said, "After being shown to the public, go clean the sewers for me for 3 years! You are not allowed to ask others to help! "
Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou didn't mind at the start. Instead, they were secretly delighted. Anyways, their skin was thick and they weren't afraid. As for ten thousand kilograms of it, although it was tough, it wasn't too tough.
However, when they heard the latter half, their faces were ashen white. The sewers were such a dirty place. Wouldn't that be asking for their lives?
Three years, not being able to use true qi or spiritual techniques, not being able to ask others to help. Their bodies would probably be unbearably smelly. They wouldn't be able to enter the 3 brothels and wouldn't have the face to find those girls they were familiar with.
After Zong Shou dealt with them, his face was cold as he walked towards the door with two pieces of eggshell.
However, just as he took a step, he heard several anxious voices ring out.
"Ruler! Ruler, you can't! Today, we have a proposal. Our Qianxue City wants to be directly ruled by Gantian Mountain! Ruler, please discuss this matter before you leave! "
That voice spread out from the upper left corner of the viewing area. It was a fatty whose face was filled with anxiousness.
Beside him, a blue-robed middle-aged man was also complaining, "My side is returning to the city and admires the ruler. The entire city is willing to be your people!"
Zong Shou was startled, sweeping around the hall. Then, his brows furrowed. It was so messy, how was he going to discuss?
"Let's forget about today. We can discuss these two proposals in seven days. It will only delay them for seven days … "
Just as he said that, Hu Qianqiu and Chai Yuan's expressions changed, frowning.
On the other hand, Ren Bo's eyes revealed a hint of hidden joy.
Zong Shou instantly understood. Hu Qianqiu and Chai Yuan weren't willing to do this.
The real culprit was most likely Renbo. The reason why he caused such a huge commotion wasn't because of the xuanxing bamboo tax but to prevent Qianxue and Fanghui from being directly ruled by Gantian Mountain.
He couldn't help but sigh. Politics was really complicated and unpredictable. He had to stay far away from it!
At this moment, on the viewing platform, the silver-armored teen was totally startled.
Zong Shou wanted to abolish the meeting hall. It wasn't surprising for the nobles of Gantian Mountain to go all out to stop him. With power in their hands, naturally they wouldn't easily hand it back.
However, the words of the Confucian scholar called Xu Shu caused waves to rise in her heart.
Was this meeting hall really imitating the ancient saint emperor? How was that possible?
Since this person was a Confucian, how could he say such rebellious words?
Looking at the scene, be it those meeting halls or the people listening in, their respect for the monster king came from the bottom of their hearts and wasn't fake at all.
She couldn't help but look at Zong Shou. The two eggshells on his head were still there, making him look a little amusing.
As for Qianxue and Fanghui, she heard the people beside her say that they were both city lords. The city lord was really strong and held the power of life and death.
At this moment, it seemed like they were crying and begging to be directly ruled by Gantian Mountain to be someone else's subject.
If it was their Taishang, it was still okay. However, this Gantian Mountain was just a small country. In her eyes, it was in a precarious situation and could be destroyed at any moment. She didn't understand.
The silver-armored teen only felt that there was a thick layer of mist on the body of the teen such that she couldn't see clearly.
Thinking about it for a moment, she scoffed coldly, "Although he is a preposterous ruler, the hearts of the people are still there. He can still be used … "

Coming out from the meeting hall, the first thing Zong Shou did was to return to the Hanyan Palace on Gantian Peak. He took a comfortable bath, washing his entire body clean and white, feeling really comfortable. Then, he brought Renbo and Chu Xue to the north of the city.
120 miles outside of the city was a giant army camp, occupying close to 300 miles. It encompassed the entire mountain range.
The defense was really tight, a full 400 thousand troops were stationed here. To say that there was a sentry every 10 steps and a sentry every 5 steps wasn't an exaggeration.
The moment Zong Shou arrived, there were dozens of intents that injected in from within. When they noticed that it was Zong Shou, they all retreated. Not long later, the gates of the camp opened to the outside.
A bunch of soldiers lined up in an orderly manner and welcomed them from within, weirdly lining up on both sides. The one at the front was left pillar general Qiu Wei. Behind him were dozens of commander level generals, all at the Xuanwu ancestor realm.
Zong Shou's eyes lit up. Qiu Wei's army was starting to show results.
Who knows what grade these soldiers were in the Gantian Mountain army. Anyways, compared to the elite troops under the Han king, they were a little stronger.
After meeting Qiu Wei, the dozen of them gathered together and headed straight for the core region of the camp.
Zong Shou rode his horse swiftly while looking around. As expected from a general who followed Zong Weiran who won every battle. The arrangement of the camp was really logical.
Along the way, the soldiers and generals all had their own plans. They didn't make any weird movements because of his arrival.
He couldn't help but turn his head and smile towards Qiu Wei, "Uncle Qiu, a similar standard military town. How many are there in our Gantian Mountain? "
Qiu Wei thought about it seriously before shaking his head, "The 40 towns here are actually the weakest! The truly strong armies are at the border. Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountains have recovered. They also have the support of the Thousand City Alliance and Donglin Sect. Now they are ready to make a move. Just 3 days ago, there were 10 conflicts at the border. Our Gantian Mountain needs to go all out to suppress them! "
Zong Shou couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself that they were so quick! Qiu Wei continued, "In my eyes, it is best to add another 40 ten thousand man towns to deal with them. Prime minister Ren told me that we just need to take in a few less cities under our jurisdiction and we can handle it! "
Zong Shou was startled, looking at Ren Bo once more. Only to see that the latter was really calm, without any expression at all. He couldn't help but shake his head. He even had a motive. The mastermind behind the battle in the meeting hall was definitely this traitorous official!
"I will think about this matter!"
40 towns, not only did they need 400 thousand elite martial cultivators, but they also needed the corresponding equipment, spending no less than 100 million.
Zong Shou didn't agree nor disagree. Looking at the place where the Blood Cloud Cavalry was hiding, they were about to arrive. Suddenly a person appeared in front of them, blocking in front of them.
"Qiao Han?"
Zong Shou was startled, looking towards Ren Bo with a questioning gaze. Only to see the latter smile helplessly, "Close to 30% of the spiritual weapons and armor that our Gantian Mountain bought were bought from Kongqi Sect. We need their help so naturally we can't stop them from entering. We can only try our best not to let them come into contact with that important place … "
The so-called important place naturally referred to where the Blood Cloud Cavalry was housed. Zong Shou nodded slightly. However, just as he got close, he heard Qiao Han laugh coldly, "Ruler rushed here to see the Blood Cloud Cavalry?" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
