1044 Prepare for a Rainy Day
A total of 80,000 iron cavalry, lined up in a neat line, guarding the chariot drawn by twelve dragon horses, entered the spacious street.
Then the entire Qiantian Mountain City began to make noise. Countless flower petals were sprinkled on both sides of the street, and almost everyone fell into a carnival.
The voices of discussion all over the entire giant city disappeared instantly, replaced by endless cheers.
"Is it really Your Majesty?"
"The king is finally back!"
"Your Majesty has not been here for the past few years, and I always feel uneasy in my heart—"
"Your Majesty returns, I will definitely sweep the world and dominate the cloud world!"
"Unify you big-headed ghost! When the monarch returns, those people will be honest."
Zong Shou's eyes flickered strangely, but he was a little ashamed. In ten years, he has done very little for his people.
However, besides the chariot at this time, the reverence of these high-ranking people for him comes from the heart.
But then again. He personally intervened in more government affairs, but he might not be as prosperous as he is today.
Then he remembered just now, Zong Shou gritted his teeth again, and smashed the armrest beside him into pieces!
It's really unreasonable!
Xuanyuan Yiren was beside her, covering her lips with her hands, suppressing her laughter.
Zong Shou didn't hide it from her when he gathered the sound with his soul, so he could find out.
At that time, Xuanyuan Yiren almost had cramps from laughing, and the image of the mother of the country was gone.
Immediately after hearing Zong Shou's "hey hey" smile, he looked over with gloomy eyes.
Xuanyuan Yiren's breath was suffocated, and he remembered the weak water Kong Yao, who was not in the sky at this time.
If this guy catches her and messes around, I can't bear it alone.
The power of the sky fox can make people feel immortal and die. It makes her want to stop, but she can't get it. Instead, she will actively crave until she is exhausted and can't continue.
Immediately he looked serious, and said apologetically: "I just remembered, after I go back, there is still a furnace of alchemy to be refined. After a few days, I will be able to spend my time with my husband."
Then she squinted at Chuxue next to her, and a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes: "My husband, if you feel lonely and uncomfortable, why don't you take Xue'er away? You can also put it in the mouth of my senior citizen Youyou."
"Eh?" Chuxue exclaimed, she was also shot while lying down. Chi Chun also knew the meaning of the word "receive" in Xuanyuanyi's mouth, and shook his head like a rattle, his delicate face flushed.
Zong Shou snorted coldly, noncommittal. But in his heart, he has made up his mind, this time when he returns to the palace, he must punish this girl well to boost his power. The excuse of alchemy is useless to him this time.
At this moment, Zong Shou suddenly felt something in his heart, and looked out of the translucent curtain with a serious expression.
A dozen figures in Confucian uniforms suddenly stopped in front of the queue, in 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 are a tyrant and Confucian enemy, you must die!"
"Evil heretics, the king of the monster clan, how can he be the king of a country!"
"Didn't you say you're going to burn a lot of Confucian scholars? If you have the ability, kill us!"
"Kill you, you foolish king!"
"The Central Great Shang Dynasty's crusade is imminent, how long can you be proud? Gan Tianshan will surely perish in one generation!"
"This person is an evil spirit! Everyone in the world can be punished, and everyone can take his place!"
"Zong Weiran is also considered a wise gentleman, and if he has a son like you, he must hate Jiuquan!?"
He swears, almost without choice, but he is mostly suppressed by the cheers nearby. Those vegetable leaves and bamboo slips have not reached hundreds of feet around the chariot. He was chopped into pieces by the guards who were protecting him nearby.
The dozen Confucian scholars in front were also forcibly captured and pulled away from the imperial path.
It was just a small disturbance, which subsided 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 chilling.
This time, he was really angry. A flame of ignorance, silently, scorched his chest.
"All the participants, etc., will be imprisoned by Gu in the Ministry of Punishment. No torture or embarrassment will be used. After one month, we will deal with it!
I really wish I could kill these people at this moment, but I know that if I am self-willed at this moment, it will make those Confucian scholars even more joyful and more plausible.
At that time, he, Zong Shou, even confirmed his reputation as a tyrant. And these Confucian scholars who blocked the way and cursed must be regarded as heroes.
Zong Shou is by no means a magnanimous person, but even if these people are to die, he must be beheaded in a legitimate manner after their ruin.
Die badly? The king of the demon clan? I have to admit that these people really pissed him off,
Zong Lan, as one of the checkpoints of the five armies, is in charge of all the guards except the blood cloud cavalry and the Xuanhu iron cavalry. At this time, he is accompanying the chariot and riding the horse
After hearing the words, he was startled, a little surprised, and then he rode away bitterly to deliver Zong Shou's edict.
As for Ren Bo, upon hearing this, he smiled in relief. Your Majesty, he has grown up.
Not happy with things, not sad with oneself, the city is deep. Still calm, not overwhelmed by anger, and made the most sensible decision.
Surrounded the entire Qiantian Mountain, and cruised a full circle. After four full hours, the chariot entered Qiantian Mountain under the guard of 20,000 Blood Cloud Riders.
Returning to Hanyan Palace, Zong Shou temporarily suppressed the desire that had accumulated for a long time, and recruited all the important officials to the Hall of Participating in Political Affairs.
However, the first topic discussed was not a major national event. Instead, he canonized Zong Ruoshui as his concubine and issued an edict to the people of Dagan.
Who said that Zong Shou has only had one empress and one concubine in recent years?
The ministers have no objection to this matter, but are happy to see it succeed. Zong Weiran's lineage, since before the Five Dynasties, has been passed down in a single lineage.
If something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to find a suitable heir.
Relatives beyond five generations, after all, are still too far away,
Your Majesty is now enlightened, and finally willing to spread its branches and leaves, that is the best.
It's just that it's a happy event to be a concubine, why does your majesty look so bitter and bitter?
However, it seemed that Zong Shou was not affected too much by being blocked and scolded. Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the second thing discussed was that Zong Shou was going to issue an imperial edict, forbidding the subjects of Daqian to discuss the monarch arbitrarily.
Ren Bo was slightly surprised, and thought to himself, his lord, could he still be angered by those Confucian scholars?
But this matter, no need to think about it, knows that it must be resolutely opposed.
"This matter is not allowed! The ancients said that the mouth of the people is better than the mouth of the river! It can only be sparse, not blocked—"
The generals next to him are all indispensable. Several civil servants objected in unison.
Xu Shu, who is already the right counselor of the council hall, that is, the vice chairman of the council, also bowed down to remonstrate: "Your Majesty also said at the beginning that no one in our country can be accused of sinning. How can you go back on your word at this time? If your majesty is annoyed by those Confucian scholars, there is no need to do so. I am punished by the law of the country, disturbing the emperor, intending to assassinate, and insulting the emperor, and I deserve to be punished!"
Zong Shou was speechless, he couldn't tell these people. What really annoyed him was that some people talked about how many concubines he had, whether he was 'incompetent'?
Seeing these civil servants, they all have a firm attitude, and I am a little bit wronged. After a little argument, Zong Shou had no choice but to give up.
Then the third thing, it was the turn of Zhu Zi, the sage of Confucianism, to regard his sect as an enemy of Confucianism.
"Zhu Zi's intentions are sinister, and he announced to the whole world with the law of reaching the heavens. He wanted to stir up civil strife in Dagan. It made Dagan breed ambitions in various feudal clans and towns, and he wanted to take Dagan and replace him."
At the beginning of the big work, although it was a unified east. But it also left a lot of tails, and many city lords still maintain autonomy, but they are just subordinates and vassals.
Fortunately, in the past few years, many towns and cities have taken the initiative to become cities directly under the central government.
And those private soldiers under the jurisdiction of the city lords were also cut by Qiu as a soft knife, and most of them were reduced.
At this time, even if there is a heart of disobedience, it will not be able to exert strength for a while.
It will take some time to expand the army and prepare for war.
"I don't need to pay attention to those city lords on the east side of Yunlu. The real worry is the sects of the Demon Sect. Those disciples of the Demon Sect will inevitably make trouble everywhere. Within half a day, only around the Tianshan Mountains, there will be four sects of the Demon Sect. People, murder cases using insidious secret techniques, the casualties are as high as a hundred people. If you can't stop the momentum, if it goes on for a long time, people will be panic!"
Hu Qianqiu was worried, he belonged to the Tiger Clan, because of this demon sect, more than 20 disciples died. Although it is not from the Iron Tiger family, the Yaozu population is precious, but it is also heartbreaking.
These Tiger Clan children did not die on the battlefield, but died in the schemes of the Demon Sect.
Zong Shou frowned, knowing that the chaos caused by the demon sect could not be completely suppressed by a few vassal sects and some casual cultivators.
"I will inform Cangsheng Dao Jianzong about this matter, and ask these two sects to help."
Without any hesitation, this is one of the conditions for the agreement to open up the outer domain together and allow Cang Sheng Dao Jianzong to establish an academy martial arts school in Daqian. Afterwards, there is no need to feel that you owe these two teachers anything, it is time for them to contribute.
"Donglin and Huizhou should be stable in this way. Only Nanfeng Yunlu has settled down not long ago. After this turmoil, there may be chaos. Heavy troops are needed to suppress it."
This time, it was Qiu Wei, the envoy of the Privy Council who spoke out, still calm and indifferent, with the air of a general.
"At least 300,000 third-tier elite soldiers are needed to ensure the stability of Nanfeng Yunlu. However, this force can only last for three months at most!"
Zong Shou looked dignified, three hundred thousand third-tier elite soldiers, this is not a small force.
In the cloud world at this time, it is naturally nothing. But before the spiritual tide, it is enough to sweep across a piece of cloud land,
"Besides, one of the keys to this battle is the naval division. I wonder if your lord can send some empty ships back? Gu Liekong alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to support!"
Daqian is in the central cloud land, and the foundation is shallow.
All supplies and fodder need to be transported from Huizhou by cloud ship.
It seems troublesome, but the supply is actually much more convenient than the big business. In Dagan country, the roads extend in all directions, and the cloud-turning car can travel thousands of miles in a day. The cloud ship is even faster.
But the foundation of all this is built on the ship division.
