The imperial system of the Demon Kingdom has many similarities with that of the Shang Dynasty. It can even be said that the general system is very similar.

According to the rules, as long as the emperor is not high up in the temple but far away from the rivers and lakes, he is the prince overseeing the country. The children of the merchant emperor are collectively called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the only prince is called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The demon kingdom is collectively called the Holy Son and Saint Daughter.

, only the prince is called the crown prince.

The current leader of the Demon Kingdom, Bai Guidao, has disappeared for a long time, and the saint Bai Yueqiu, who was respectfully welcomed back by Mei Jun, has not yet lit the Eastern Emperor candle, so she should not have attended the court meeting. However, Bai Yueqiu was welcomed by the military aircraft guard after all.

Although nameless, he is polite.

In order to prevent treacherous ministers and traitors in the Demon Kingdom, the legitimacy of the emperor must meet three conditions - name, etiquette, and reality.

Name, light the Eastern Emperor's candle in the name of the Crown Prince, be welcomed by military aircraft to receive the courtesy of His Majesty, and give way to each other three times to have the real power of the emperor!

Although Bai Yueqiu is unknown, she is polite after all. Coupled with Bai Zimo's support and the current expectations of the demon people, it is not difficult to hold a court meeting.

Bai Zimo resigned as the head of the Military Machine Hall, so he was not as well-dressed as the three major county guards. But no one dared to look down on this man who was even somewhat plainly dressed. Ever since the moment he was granted a fiefdom by Bai Guidao a hundred years ago,

, this man is the most powerful person in the Demon Kingdom, and he remains so to this day.

The emperor's court meeting hall in the Zhengzi Palace is the Donghuang Hall. Today's court meeting, thousands of people weaving umbrellas line up outside the palace, leading to the Donghuang Hall. This has been a rule since ancient times, but it is rare in the Military Machine Hall.

Entered the Donghuang Palace.

The Demon Kingdom has an emperor system, and each county guard is the representative to rule the Demon Kingdom. This time, not only the three major county guards came, but also the county guards under the three major county guards. Together with the three major county guards, a total of

Sixteen people.

Originally, the court meeting was held every year or at three o'clock. One was for the emperor to show the power of the Bai family in the Zhengzi Palace to the county guards, and the other was to evaluate and assess the major county guards.

This report to the court was a complete process, making Bai Yueqiu the king of the county guards in name only.

It's just that it's not easy for Bai Zimo to summon these people. After all, Bai Zimo can take this opportunity to replace the various county guards, and I'm afraid it won't be a problem even if he kills them. Therefore, many county guards have ambiguous opinions.

Most of them were unwilling to come, and some even directly stated that they would not come.

But Bai Zimo is still Bai Zimo. Bai Zimo said directly to the three county guards, "One less county means the three of you have one less head. No matter how few there are, there will be no need for the three surnames Bu Gu, Feng and Qi."

.”

The words are so clear, do the three county guards dare to come? Do the three county guards dare to let some of their subordinates not come?

So this time everyone in the court came here. Everyone stood upright in their positions. Two Bai family members on the side monitored everyone in the court to see if they were in any way inconsistent with etiquette and law.

Soon after, the Royal Forest Army beat drums, Hongling embroidery chorus, Qianzhi Umbrella Mingdian spread out the brocade for the road, Qianzhi Umbrella Dark Hall held swords to form a guard of honor, lined up, and then came the folk opera singing troupe, singing

There were as many as a thousand people in the class, and they all sang songs that had been handed down from the legendary period.

During the grand ceremony, Bai Yueqiu walked out slowly in a phoenix robe, followed by the heirs of the three major county guards and the second and third generations of the Bai family in the side hall, including some branches of the Bai family royal family.

, formed a team of dozens of people, and walked slowly from the east gate of Zhengzi Palace to the East Emperor Palace.

After a long time, the team slowly arrived outside the Donghuang Palace. At the foot of the steps outside the Donghuang Palace, the team all stopped. Only Bai Yueqiu slowly walked towards the Donghuang Palace. When Bai Yueqiu stepped on

When he took the first step into the Donghuang Palace, all the sounds stopped. The Imperial Guards immediately shouted, "The Emperor's son Jiu, the order is to hold on to the new. Dongzun, your emperor, it is not easy to pass the throne. The emperor is like me, and the dragon returns to the emperor."

!”

These words were what the new emperor must say at the first court meeting after he ascended the throne. The folk opera troupe looked at Bai Yueqiu's slender and determined figure and listened to the loud voice of the Imperial Guards. They actually shouted excitedly with the Imperial Guards.

.

The momentum increased for a while, and after hearing the sound, the military aircraft guards in the palace also shouted together. In an instant, the whole Zhengzi Palace was filled with shouts.

Bai Yueqiu listened to this voice and looked towards the Liyuan Opera Troupe, which was composed of thousands of people with the loudest voice, and saw a few old people singing passionately while crying. Bai Yueqiu looked at the group of people who were not popular at all.

, with a moving expression. This was Bai Zimo's message: "Don't look back, go straight into the hall, and then take your seat."

Bai Yueqiu nodded slightly, and then tried to calm herself down, listening to the words "I am the emperor, the dragon returns to the emperor!" that kept echoing in her ears. During Bai Yueqiu's time in the Demon Kingdom, she already knew what these words meant.

The Emperor Jiuzi Jiu tells the story of the eight generals in the rebellion of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the nine legitimate sons. The eight generals rebelled and the nine disciples competed for the position of the legitimate son. After these two events, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi completely took charge of the wilderness.

And established the emperor system of the Demon Kingdom. Although the later Qin Emperor Ying Zheng did not know about the emperor system of Donghuang Taiyi, their thoughts were unexpectedly consistent. From then on, the orders became new orders. Everything changed.

Weather. And Taiyi Donghuang set the capital of the country in the east, so he would say Dongzun Erhuang. As for the difficulty of passing the throne, it means that the inheritance of the Bai family will last forever. The last sentence means that the newly enthroned emperor wants to

I showed his rights and let me know that Long Chu, who sent the old emperor away, would return to the world again and return to the new emperor.

Bai Yueqiu felt very unreal in the cheers, but recalling the tears of the old man from the troupe, she gained the courage to go on. Bai Yueqiu didn't know why, but she didn't see the old man's face clearly at all.

, but the old man's tears conveyed the hot feelings extremely truly. It was a feeling that Bai Yueqiu couldn't describe, as if he was them, was them? - was their hope?...Bai Yueqiu didn't know,

A little confused, but very determined.

The sixteen county guards stared at Bai Yueqiu, the Bai family's branch looked at Bai Yueqiu, the Bai family in the side hall stared at Bai Yueqiu...

They all only saw a woman who was as graceful as an orchid and came to the seat gracefully. They might want to see something else, but they couldn't.

At this time, Bai Zimo was still the first to kneel down, saying "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!!" Everyone shouted perfunctorily in unison.

Bai Yueqiu looked in the direction outside the hall and did not speak for a long time. After recalling the old man's excited voice, Bai Yueqiu was sure how perfunctory the person in front of him was.

Bai Zimo was kneeling, and everyone was kneeling. After a while, Bai Yueqiu looked at the theater troupe and said lightly, "No courtesy. Stay flat."

Only then did everyone slowly stand up.

Looking at Bai Yueqiu, some of the county guards seemed to see the former Demon Queen, while some only saw the calm and composed new emperor.

Bai Fengli stared at Bai Yueqiu, smiled sarcastically, and sighed, "Why? It looks like you... Yu..."

Bai Fengli then looked at his father, watching him come to Bai Yueqiu and take the lead in telling Bai Yueqiu about the harvest of Zhongdu County in the past year. After Bai Zimo finished telling everything about that year, other counties followed.

Shou reported to Bai Yueqiu everything that happened in the county during the year.

Bai Yueqiu couldn't understand it at all.

However, Bai Yueqiu is taciturn, but as attentive as her mother. She can't understand what the county guards are saying, but she can see, she can tell which county guards show displeasure and which ones are perfunctory.

, some were explained seriously, and some were slightly respectful. She saw all of this. Therefore, although Bai Yueqiu did not understand, she still listened and watched extremely seriously.

Bai Yueqiu knew that her absurd wish of boating her whole life would never come true, so now she just wanted to survive and find the meaning of her life.

Finally, after a long time, the sixteen county guards told Bai Yueqiu all the situation. According to the usual practice, the emperor evaluated each county and decided who should be rewarded and who should be punished.

Bai Yueqiu didn't understand the current demon country, so naturally she couldn't make her own assessment.

However, Bai Zimo visited all major counties when Bai Yueqiu was training in Liuchi, so now Bai Yueqiu only needs to read according to Bai Zimo's prepared decree.

So Bai Yueqiu announced Bai Zimo's will according to the script. The general content was that the county governor who did well would be rewarded, and those who did poorly would not be severely punished.

Bai Zimo looked at a group of punished county guards without any sign of solemnity or change of attitude. In other words, the current county guards were not afraid of Bai Yueqiu's punishment at all.

If it's not good, it will make those county guards sweat in cold sweat, and they are all afraid that Lord Bai will depose him. Bai Zimo made a decision in his heart. He still needs to beat these people, but these things can no longer be done in his own identity, but must use Bai Yueqiu's identity.

Do it. Only in this way can you establish Bai Yueqiu's majesty.

After Bai Yueqiu finished reading the imperial edict, there were no eunuchs saying anything about "retiring from the court without incident." Instead, two women with thousands of umbrellas came forward and asked everyone if they had anything important to report. But no one responded.

Bai Yueqiu then followed Bai Zimo's reminder and waved to summon a woman with a thousand weaving umbrellas, asking her to bring another imperial edict.

"The lonely young man held hostage to another country, and the three ruins were impoverished..."

After reading the imperial edict, the most important points are only two points. One is that Bai Yueqiu will go to Fu Zhong Tower, one of the three ruins, to practice until the East Emperor Candle is lit, and during this period, he will lead the military machine guards there. As for the other thing

The thing was to make Bai Zimo commit a crime and perform meritorious service, repay the crime of causing the saint to flee to another country, serve as the acting head of the Military Machine Hall, and reduce the Bai family's fiefdom.

In this way, Bai Yueqiu holds the real power in the hands of the military aircraft guards, while Bai Zimo holds the title of master of punishments and rewards in the military aircraft palace, which facilitates Bai Zimo's legitimate management and orders to the major county guards.

After Bai Yueqiu announced all this, there was a garden tour after the court meeting. This was also a traditional rule. First, it showed the harmony between the monarch and his ministers. Secondly, it still emphasized and demonstrated the power of the Bai family.

But for Bai Yueqiu, all she can do is remember who these people are. And this time, Bai Yueqiu did not choose to walk in the park with the governors like the previous kings, but chose to sit

On top of Longhu.

Bai Yueqiu was sitting on the luxurious dragon bench, leaning against the curtain, with the "Han Feizi" brought from Liu Pavilion beside her hand.

Everyone was accompanying the people walking behind the dragon. Bai Yueqiu generously opened the curtain. He could clearly see the expressions of the major county guards at that time. Most of the major county guards were disapproving of Bai Yueqiu's behavior.

Sniffing, there were only one or two with different expressions. When everyone was suddenly exposed to Bai Yueqiu's sight, their attitudes were also clearly seen by Bai Yueqiu.

What impressed Bai Yueqiu the most was the performance of the three county guards. Bu Guren actually smiled and saluted himself as a courtier. Bai Yueqiu saw it, but had no reaction. Qi Yunhai was actually a little frightened.

Performance. As for Feng Jingliu, he was just pretending to be calm despite being strong.

When everyone saw Bai Yueqiu's expression of admiring the scenery, they couldn't help showing contempt. Bai Yueqiu could feel all this, but Bai Yueqiu didn't react at all, as if he was really enjoying the scenery.

Bai Huangshu, who was following the team, felt something was wrong. After all, the Bai Yueqiu she knew was definitely not the kind of person who would do such a thing in front of everyone.

While Bai Yueqiu looked at the scenery, he remembered four people - the four county guards of Fuyang, Chang Shi, Chen Ding and Jincheng.

Bai Yueqiu then closed the curtain.

At this time, the Bu Gu family outside Long Zhu was a little impatient. Bu Gu Ren glared at his son Bu Gu Tuo, and then signaled to everyone in the Bu Gu family, and then the Bu Gu family stayed.

Unlike the Bu Gu family who were impatient, the Qi family behaved very quietly and followed Long Hu. As for the Feng family, they chose to stay after seeing the Bu Gu family's reaction.

It wasn't until Long Chu walked around the amusement park that the court meeting truly ended.

Next, Bai Yueqiu will go to Fu Zhong Tower, one of the three ruins, to practice until Bai Yueqiu can light the Donghuang Candle.
Chapter completed!
