When Lu Chong quickly came to the front hall of the imperial city's inner court, not only were there many of the Grand Tutors in the imperial city already coming, but also seven middle-aged men in different clothes sat at the dark purple table, including Chu Shixiong from Greater Jeju. I believe these were the state leaders of the major states.

After Lu Chong walked to his seat, he saw Wei Fu and Bai Jianfei coming to the front hall to sit down. The king sitting at the huge long and short table saw that everyone had arrived, so he spoke: "This time we called everyone to come because of the re-selecting of the state lords in our Chang State every fifty years. Since there are three new Grand Tutors, I would like to explain to you the regulations on selecting the state lords."

"The selection of state leaders in Changguo and Ningguo is different every hundred years. We hold it once every fifty years, and the selection method is also different. We compete with the newly promoted Taishi and the seven states ranked last. The winner will become the new round of state leaders. In the past, one state leader was replaced. This time there were three state leaders. Therefore, three state leaders ranked behind in the seven states must be decided first, and then the three state leaders ranked last, and then the final competition with the three new states will be held."

"The competition method has not changed. The first round is the ranking of the spirit of the seven major states. The three ranked in the back are determined. Then the draw with the new Grand Master in the second round is to determine the situation of the matchup. The competition is scheduled to officially start in Chenshi and time after three days."

"If anyone in your seven states has reached the middle level of the martial arts realm, then you don't have to participate in the selection of the state lords. You can go directly to the imperial city to become the Grand Tutor. If not, then all of them will participate in the selection of the state lords. Tomorrow, you will follow me to the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city to see the country protector."

After saying that, the king looked at everyone and said, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

Seeing that everyone was not speaking, the king continued, "While the selection of state lords this time, we must also decide on the inheritance of the state lords, so after the selection of state lords, everyone will also participate in the ceremony of the inheritance of the state lords."

At this time, the old manager came over and distributed a document to each person. The document indicated some simple records of the names, ages, state cities and governance conditions of the seven prefectures and prefectures, mainly to allow the newly promoted Taishi to have a preliminary understanding of the seven prefectures.

The king said loudly again: "All the Grand Tutors and the state masters here are all masters of martial arts who are in charge of supervision and governance in Changguo. In order to cooperate more harmoniously in the future, I will introduce them to you and report my names in the order of left and right downwards."

"The ones leaning against my right hand are Li Taishi, Zhou Taishi, Bai Taishi, Lu Taishi, Xuanhuangzhou Jinzhou, Qianfanzhou Dingzhou and Baiguizhou Tangzhou. On my left hand are Wu Taishi, Cai Taishi, Wei Taishi, Hui Yanzhou Xuezhou, Dajizhou Chuzhou, Ziweizhou Linzhou and Chongmingzhou Yezhou. I hope you have the opportunity to communicate more."

After the king finished speaking, he slowly left the front hall of the inner court. The Grand Tutor and the State Lord were also dispersed by each other's smiles. After Lu Chong carefully watched the situation of several state masters, he returned to the villa where he lived with Bai Jianfei.

In the living room of the inner courtyard of "Fenglinyuan", Lu Chong and Bai Jianfei sat opposite each other. Lu Chong said: "It is indeed a complicated situation. There should be a lot of disputes and changes this time."

Bai Jianfei nodded and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a situation of three New State masters fighting for this time. It seems that the country-protecting envoy behind him also wants to disrupt the current situation of the entire Changguo. But this is good, everyone has a chance, which seems fair. The Master Lu should be sure to win a state master."

Lu Zong said calmly: "It's not a big problem for a state lord, but you also know that I don't want to go to the prefecture city near the border of Ningguo."

Bai Jianfei said: "Yes, it's just that in a country, the lord has the final say. The lord can not only adjust the appointments of the lords of the state and the city lords, but also decide the appointments of senior officials in the lords of the state and the city."

Lu Chong couldn't help but wonder: "In this way, the king can use his power to plunder the resources of the state and city lords?"

Bai Jianfei said appreciatively: "You are so smart. The king of state does not usually participate in the agreement and division between states and cities. However, he will send his own family members to operate some huge profitable businesses in the states and cities. The king of states not only needs strong support, but also secretly allocate some rare resources to the king of states."

Lu Chong thought for a while and said, "Will there be no state master to rise up to fight?"

Bai Jianfei shook his head and said, "The power of a state master is too weak. Even if there are several states and cities that are united, and there are more powerful people coming out to interfere, so it is useless."

Lu Chong looked at Bai Jianfei for a while and said, "How could Deputy Sect Master Bai be so clear about these secrets of the country? Could it be that your family has become the state leader before, or has a higher status?"

Bai Jianfei said slowly: "To be honest with the leader of Lu, the Bai family was a giant family in Changguo a thousand years ago. After the transfer, the family weakened."

Lu Chong suddenly realized and couldn't help but say: "The family's transfer is a rule to prevent the dominance of the family. Deputy Sect Master Bai has pulled the Bai family to an upward trend. If you are so young, maybe there is still a chance to compete for forty-five years?"

Bai Jianfei's eyes flashed and said, "If Master Lu has this intention and we will support each other, we will have a great chance."

Lu Chong nodded and said, "Okay, the family takes turns to take over the banker. Let's take more resources together, develop and strengthen ourselves faster, and make great achievements."

After Lu Chong said that, he looked at Bai Jianfei, and both of them laughed heartily.

On the afternoon of the next day, Chu Shixiong came to the inner courtyard of Lutong. After taking a sip of "Suqing" from Qingfeng Town, Chu Shixiong slowly said: "The review of the forbidden area in the imperial city has been completed. I didn't expect that Xue Min, who returned to Yanzhou, was ranked first in martial arts and was about to reach the middle level of martial arts."

Lu Chong said calmly: "Brother is talking about the thin and short middle-aged man. I wonder what the strength of Jin Qingkunzhou, the master of Xuanhuangzhou?"

Chu Shixiong immediately said, "It's still the same as before, following Xue Minke. What do you think about the selection of state leaders this time?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chong said, "Although the whole situation is a bit complicated, it does not have much impact on us. I can get one of the three New South Wales masters. If Master Bai Jianfei can also succeed, we will occupy more than half of the resources. Master Bai Jianfei is now the deputy leader of my Shenmu Sect, and his foundation is quite good.

Chu Shixiong nodded and said, "That's good, you should also see that the two sects of the imperial city control two strength combinations, including Li Tai Shi, Zhou Tai Shi, Qianfanzhou Dingzhou, Baiguizhou Tangzhou, and Wu Tai Shi and Cai Tai Shi hugged Hui Yanzhou Xuezhou, Ziweizhou Linzhou, and Chongmingzhou Yezhou. I and Xuanhuangzhou Jinzhou were one of their own. In general, the strength of Wu Tai Shi was superior in the past, but now there is finally a change."

Lu Chong smiled and said, "Brother, no matter how much you have, after the selection, we will have a good drink and ask you to give me more advice."

Chu Shixiong replied: "Okay, I will definitely give you all my gifts by brother, and we must make a good arrangement."
