In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
During these seven days, Martial Spirit City was still bustling with noise and excitement. Lu Yuan's coronation and marriage had been ongoing.
The hotels in Martial Spirit City entertained guests for free, and there was an endless stream of guests.
The people in Martial Spirit City only slowly dispersed after the twelfth.
In a pavilion in the imperial garden of Martial Spirit Palace, Lu Yuan and the others appeared.
Lu Yuan and Bibidon sat together, while Ning Fengzhi, Yan Shaozhe, and the others sat opposite them.
Ning Rongrong and the other girls were enjoying the flowers and playing in the imperial garden.
Lu Yuan took a sip of tea and looked at Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting opposite him, with a calm expression.
"Long time no see, Uncle Ning. How have you been recently?" Lu Yuan asked indifferently.
"Thanks to you, I've been pretty good!" Ning Fengzhi laughed softly.
"That's good. Do you need any help with the development of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect? If so, just tell me, "Lu Yuan said calmly.
He still remembered what he had promised Ning Fengzhi back then.
"Not yet. The Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is developing very well," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
"Well, if you need any help, just let me know. Don't stand on ceremony."
Lu Yuan said indifferently.
"I will!" Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile.
"By the way, Sacred Emperor, I have something to ask. Do you have any arrangements for your marriage with Rongrong?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Lu Yuan and asked.
"The wedding date is set by me on the 25th of November," Lu Yuan said indifferently.
"25th of November? Two months later? " Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with joy. If Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong were to get married, then his relationship with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect would be even closer.
To the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, this was truly a strong and unshakeable backer.
"Uncle Ning, do you have any objections to the wedding date?" Lu Yuan looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked faintly.
"No problem. Two months later is pretty good, pretty good!" Ning Fengzhi said.
"If Uncle Ning doesn't have any objections, then we'll set the date for two months later." Lu Yuan made the final decision.
Lu Yuan tapped the table lightly with his finger. His eyes flickered slightly. He and Bibidon looked at each other, and a bright light flashed in their eyes at the same time.
"Uncle Ning, what do you think of the current Douluo Continent?" Lu Yuan asked softly.
"Very good. After the Martial Soul Empire was unified, the entire continent was purged. There were no more conflicts, and the continent became peaceful." Ning Fengzhi said.
"Oh? Then, Uncle Ning, do you really think that the mainland has been unified? "Lu Yuan asked with a meaningful tone.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered as he speculated, "Sage Emperor, what do you mean?"
"The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have indeed been destroyed, but there are still many kingdoms and duchies on the continent. With these kingdoms within kingdoms, can the continent really be considered unified?" Lu Yuan's gaze was cold as he spoke plainly.
The two empires originally had many kingdoms and duchies. The Seonra Empire had been completely conquered, so there were fewer kingdoms and duchies left. However, the Heaven Dou Empire had been conquered through conciliation. Only some members of the royal family had died, and the kingdoms and duchies were still intact.
These kingdoms and duchies still had complete autonomy. They had both administrative and military authority. Even if the empire's orders were passed down to these kingdoms and duchies, it was unknown how much authority they had.
With Lu Yuan's temper, how could he allow such a situation to exist?
"Then, Sage Emperor, are you planning to …?" Ning Fengzhi was shocked. He felt that Lu Yuan was about to play a big game.
"I am planning to abolish the feudal system and establish a provincial system. I will allow the existence of monarchs, but I will take away their administrative and military authority.
"Every province will have a provincial lord who will be in charge of provincial affairs. There will also be a palace guard who will lead local military affairs. The provincial lord and palace guard will be personally appointed by me. The Martial Soul Palace will be in charge of supervising the work of the provincial lord and palace guard. They can be directly sent to me.
"As for the cities and counties under the provinces, it will be the same. There will be a city lord, a county lord, and so on. They will be directly in charge of the county.
"Uncle Ning, what do you think of this system?"
Lu Yuan asked with a faint smile.
"This …" Ning Fengzhi's heart was in a perilous situation. This was to completely remove the obstacles of kingdoms and duchies, and completely centralize power in the center.
"As expected of you!" Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed. He was still that Lu Yuan. It was fine if he didn't do anything, but when he did, it was a big move.
"Uncle Ning, why aren't you answering my question?" Lu Yuan asked faintly.
As a person with a strong personality, he naturally wouldn't be satisfied with a feudal system that was similar to a compromise. It was in line with his personality to have all the power in his hands.
Furthermore, moving from a feudal system to a provincial system and the creation of a centralized system was also a huge improvement for Douluo. It was in line with the trend of progress in history.
"I think it's very good!" Ning Fengzhi said softly.
Faced with Lu Yuan's threatening gaze, he couldn't raise any thoughts of objecting. Furthermore, he changed the way he addressed Lu Yuan from "I" to "I".
This was because he suddenly realized that the current Lu Yuan was no longer the Lu Yuan of the past. He was now an emperor, a true emperor.
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Lu Yuan smiled faintly. His eyes shone with a bright divine light.
… …
"It seems like this Ning Fengzhi is quite sensible."
On a quiet path, Lu Yuan and Bibidon were quietly strolling hand in hand. A crisp and pleasant voice came from Bibidon's mouth.
"He can only stand on my side!" Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said faintly.
"When are you going to make this decision?" Bibidon asked gently.
"Of course it's going to be immediately!" Lu Yuan said softly. There was a trace of unquestionable firmness in his tone.
"Fortunately, this is a world where the strong are respected." Lu Yuan suddenly smiled and said.
"What do you mean?" Bibidon looked at Lu Yuan and asked.
"If I have enough power, I only need to say a word to abolish the feudal system." Lu Yuan smiled faintly.
"I'm afraid many people will die if you say that!" Bibidon shook his head and said.
"You're also afraid of killing people? I remember that you were the one who suggested it first. "
Lu Yuan looked at Bibidon with a smile that didn't seem like a smile.
"I only said it casually. I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly." Bibidon rolled his eyes at Lu Yuan and said.
"A nation within a nation cannot be allowed to exist. This is detrimental to the stability of the Martial Soul Empire. When a new empire is established, these old and rotten powers must all be removed. Since they're going to be removed sooner or later, why don't we be more direct? It's better to destroy them all."
