Chaiyuan scolded out when he heard that, every time he returned, he was the happiest person seeing all the mess.
If ruler really couldn’t stand anymore and wanted to stop them, who would dare to act like this in front of him?
Be it him acting himself or calling the guards outside in, he would be able to stop this mess.
He had seen through that Zong Shou was allowing the meeting hall fighting to continue.
Even Chuxue glanced at the side, looking at her young master with disdain.
Zong Shou didn’t notice that he was being despised by the 2 of them. He sighed with a headache, “How preposterous! Aren’t we afraid of becoming a laughing stock? If you have such strength to fight here why not use it on the battlefield! Uncle Chai’s cultivation method is amazing.”
The 2 people at the side looked over eagerly and their brows rose. Only to see Chaiyuan go crazy, smashing the tables and chairs beside him. That person who snuck attacked him was kicked away. Apart from his eyes looking a little dizzy, his entire body was unharmed.
At this moment not only those participating in the meeting but even those listening on were also tempted to participate in the battle.
On the watching platform on the side, the faces of the silver armored teen and the Li surnamed commander seemed weird.
“Are those 2 people the race leaders of the wind bear and iron tiger race? Scoff, how can they be important officials of the dynasty? Fighting in public, what is different from them and those savages in the villages? Is there a system? As expected from a barbaric land!”
That silver armored teen frowned as she looked carefully towards Zong Shou, shaking her head.
“This Zong Shou doesn’t look like a ruler…”
Just as she said that similar words sounded out from the side.
“This person doesn’t seem like a ruler! What rights does he have to rule the 13 provinces of Donglin? Yue Guanyun and Xiong Ba being useless caused this kid to be so famous.”
That silver armored teen looked towards the side curiously. Only to see that it was that young master that she saw in the restaurant. However, the one who spoke was the blue shirt middle-aged man by his side.
That young master shook his head, not giving his opinion, only saying flatly, “Yue Guanyun, Xiong Ba and Feng Nu all have some skill. This monster king’s actions 2 years ago were really intelligent and heroic. To be able to join the dragon shadow old man, these talents were top class. However today…”
He wasn’t able to continue his words. That teen young master stopped, glancing over and looking over warily towards that direction.
The silver armored teen smiled and retracted her gaze. Her body had special abilities, even with spells it would be unable to be hidden from her ears.
Although eavesdropping wasn’t right, she had no choice in their proximity.
Following which that Li surnamed capital commander frowned, his face with a bitter smile, “Governor commander! I am still doubting your judgment. This kid is so preposterous, even with our Great Shang supporting it wouldn’t be much help. Why not be head to that Longxiang City to take a look. Although that person has ambitions, it is still better than Gantian Mountain.”
That silver armored teen nodded her head but didn’t answer. She looked at the so called meeting that was just a chaotic fight, and she felt that it wasn’t right.
In heart, she agreed with such a situation but thinking about it she couldn’t think of a reason to do that.
Thinking about it for a moment, she said in deep thought, “Gantian Mountain is established through martial arts. Everyone can. They have some sharpness and grit to them. The barbarian races all over are much stronger than the people of our Great Shang. There is a reason for that.”
At the elevated platform of the meeting hall, underneath the table, Zong Shou knew nothing at all. He didn’t know that the people below saw him as an incapable leader.
He still shook his head, “I am a little worried. If this meeting hall situation continues, how are we going to be gentle and disciplined? Was it a right decision that year to set up this meeting system…”
That Renbo said seriously when he heard that, “Why did the ruler say that? Last time I didn’t see it carefully but now I think that your highness was intelligent to do that!”
Seeing Zong Shou turn his head with a weird expression on his face, Renbo smiled before continuing, “Even the smartest ruler will make mistakes. History books recorded that those rulers who were at the throne for long, as time goes on or as they become old slowly become rulers who fail their jobs. Often those rulers who start the country are talented and intelligent. Those people who succeed the throne often don’t put in the effort. However, as people are greedy, rulers often don’t restrict their powers as ruler did…”
He also said, “By holding such meetings, many matters of Gantian Mountain can be discussed on the surface and many battles of interests can be solved in a logical way. The nobles in the city can all be at ease and not worry about matters all day long, about their things being stolen and taken away for no reason. Although the ruler reduced your power, many things are unrelated to the ruler and have to be solved by the meetings. Within the meeting hall, every 3-5 days there would be a fight, although it is for their family interests, many times it is for the people. Official system? Decency? Hehe! If we can let the Gantian Mountain people rich and peaceful then what is the use of all this? Those civil servants of Great Shang are indeed decent and have a system! But often they don’t care about their people. Often it is those people who look decent, but in the dark, they harm the heavens and the land. Anyways just thinking carefully about it there are too many benefits to it! Sometimes I thought to myself if those emperors of the cloud desolate era ruled the world like this? Were my Confucian scriptures wrong by itself or was it misunderstood by people?”
Zong Shou’s brows rose. He didn’t think that this Renbo would rattle on so much and say so much. To praise this meeting system so much. He seems to have huge grievances towards the central dynasty.
It seems like this prime minister also came from the central continent. Before meeting his father he had a bad experience.
He didn’t think too much before he set up this Meeting Hall. Most of the time it was for there to be some meetings when he was not here to restrict the cabinet.
It was solely so he could be lazy. So that even without him here, administrative matters could run smoothly.
He felt a little awkward being praised like that, Zong Shou felt delighted in his heart but his face seemed awkward, “Prime minister has praised me too much. What ability do I have, I don’t dare to be compared to those saint emperors of the cloud desolate era.”
Renbo shook his head seriously, “I didn’t praise you too much. For me, to be able to support your father and you are my good fortune! Even if I was born again, I would be willing to be a lackey under you then work for Great Shang!”
Zong Shou was startled and looked carefully at Renbo. His gaze dimming, feeling hurt. This old prime minister looked young but he was quite old. Martial ancestor realm, the lifespan could be increased by 80 years. At most he could live for 40-50 years…
Just as he was distracted, suddenly an exclamation spread out from Chuxue, “Young master, be careful!”
Zong Shou was at a loss as he looked at the 10 over eggs in front of him, flying over at the same time right for the area beneath the table.
He didn’t notice it before but now it was extremely close. He frantically dodged but it was too late as he was hit in the head by 2 eggs. “Pa da”, the egg white and egg yolk splattered all over his head and face.
Zong Shou’s face instantly turned ashen white as he stood up, smashing the table into pieces.
Chuxue was originally trying her best not to laugh. At this moment she was also frightened, hiding far away. In case she was dragged down by this young master who already became a human-shaped storm.
On the side of Renbo, he was expressionless, silently pulling open the distance between them.
The entire meeting hall, those people who were currently in the chaotic battle all felt that something was not right. They only felt a cold and dark aura covering the entire meeting hall.
They all stopped, turning around and looking at the elevated portion of the hall. When they looked up and saw 2 broken eggshells on Zong Shou, they were astonished, cold sweat all over their heads.
Even Hu Qianqiu and Chaiyuan felt a chill down their spines. In their hearts, they scolded out at who was the person without eyes. It was okay to throw it at them but why throw it at the ruler?
Zong Shou swept the hall coldly, following which he looked at where the eggs flew from.
Following which he was startled, only to see Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou tangled up with one another.
Apart from the 2 of them, there was no one else besides them.
He remembered that those 2 were originally sitting on the viewer stand. Who knows when but they jumped down to help their fathers, following which they got into a chaotic mess.
Zong Shou’s face became darker and darker, “Which one of you did this?”
Chai Zhou and Hu Zhongyuan were originally in an intense battle. However, he felt that things weren’t right. After they heard it, they looked around and were frightened, and their faces devoid of blood. They all jumped away, without a hesitation they pointed to one another.
“Him!”
Zong Shou scoffed coldly, his gaze was dark as he looked at the people below, his gaze like that of a knife.
Where his gaze passed, those people who saw him in meetings before, or those who had attacked the cities together with him, sweeping past numerous provinces, or those who had gone down the cloud ocean with him, they felt their legs turn soft as they knelt onto the ground.
In their hearts they thought to themselves: it has been half a year since meeting the ruler, but he’s becoming more and more scary?
He had reduced his power and hadn’t dealt with administrative affairs for the year. But for some reason, they were more respectful to this teen monster king.
“Well done! I built this Meeting Hall so that you all could keep an eye on the cabinet and help me run the city! However, every day you all don’t do anything properly, just disputing and fighting here. You all have grown! If this goes on there is no need for this Meeting Hall to continue, let’s just remove it…”
Hu Qianqiu and Chaiyuan were instantly anxious. The people who joined in the meeting were quickly paling.
Renbo’s brows furrowed, bowing slightly, “Ruler please think about it! Don’t remove such a great policy can’t be removed due to a moment of rage!”
