Start with the jailer

Hearing this, Li Qingfeng's face showed no joy or anger, not even any micro-expression to indicate any emotional change.

But Shaojun and Ning Xiaoqi in front of him suddenly looked extremely shocked.

Because... they clearly felt that the Emperor and the High Priest in front of them, who were as vast and stable as the Xuanzhen Mountain, the predecessor of the fairy mountain, were now... suddenly becoming as violent as the boundless sea of ​​stars with shattered stars.

The two men didn't know why, but their faces turned pale.

Li Qingfeng was slightly stunned. He was not really very angry, but just a little dissatisfied in his heart. As for his whole mood, he went from calm to a little bit uneasy. He did not want to scare the two girls in front of him to this extent.

"Is this the effect of the change in one's mind and one's thoughts on all living things in the world after enlightenment gave birth to the Dao rhyme?"

Thinking this in his heart, Li Qingfeng quickly suppressed his inner fluctuations and blocked his mental world as much as possible. He also restrained the Dao rhyme in his every move. At the same time, he moved his mind and a wisp of true energy swept through the Hall of Ten Thousand People like a spring breeze, and also swept through Ning Xiaoqi and Shaojun.

Ning Xiaoqi and Shaojun calmed down instantly, and they both looked at Li Qingfeng in a trance, with a hint of self-doubt in their eyes.

Both of them felt a little confused at this moment, and they felt that the pressure just now was an illusion... but the illusion was so real...

After Li Qingfeng saw that the two had calmed down, he said softly, "Strike the celestial bell and earthly drum."

Upon hearing this, Shaojun and Ning Xiaoqi were even more stunned.

The Heavenly Bell and Earthly Drum are the huge bells and drums standing on the left and right of the gate of the Hall of All Peoples, with the bell on the left and the drum on the right.

If only the celestial bell is struck, it means that only court officials will participate in the following meeting. If only the terrestrial drum is struck, it means that only common people will participate. If both are struck at the same time, it will announce the convening of a meeting of all the people of Jin'an City.

Of course, participation is not mandatory. If you are really too busy, you don’t have to attend the meeting. However, you must ensure that the number of common people who cannot attend the meeting is less than 10% of the total!
Once the number of people who cannot attend the meeting exceeds 10% of the total number of common people, Xianshan will be responsible for the full investigation and will then hold the relevant personnel and forces accountable.

"Here!"

"Here!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Ning Xiaoqi and Shaojun quickly agreed and then walked out.

Immediately, the dull, heavy, solemn and dignified sounds of bells and drums rang out.

The sound of the bells and drums has a penetrating power beyond imagination, but within that extreme penetrating power there is a touch of gentleness, so as not to hurt ordinary people or low-level warriors because the sound is too strong.

Go away with the melodious bell sound.

Everyone inside and outside Jin'an City suddenly turned around in shock and looked towards the direction of the Hall of All Peoples.

Common people's academy,

Xiao Jiandun stood up suddenly: "Heavenly Bell and Earthly Drum?!"

Xin Yuan looked towards Zheng Huaizhou: "Mr. Zheng is indeed a man of prediction!"

Zheng Huaizhou just smiled lightly and said nothing more, but stood up: "Since the Heavenly Bell and Earthly Drum have sounded... let's go to the Hall of All Peoples immediately!"

……

Human ancestral hall,

That is where Niutouling is located. Even now, the huge project here has only been completed less than 5% with the concerted efforts of the Observatory, the Ministry of Works, and many warriors and civilians.

They had only just barely completed the construction of the foundation for the human race's ancestral temple; as for the countless statues of past saints and sages of the human race, construction had not really begun yet.

now,

Zhou Huanran turned around suddenly, and the worry hidden in his eyes gradually dissipated: "Sure enough... the emperor is just busy... once he has time, he is a hundred times more perceptive than me!"

With this in mind, Zhou Huanran said directly: "Three hundred and sixty people will maintain the formation... The rest of you, rush to the Hall of All Peoples immediately!"

Ji Wuchang, Jingmingnu and others quickly arranged for people to stay behind to maintain the formation, while the rest of the people quickly washed their hands and faces, and then headed towards the Hall of All Peoples in the city.

The same is true for other criminal detention centers, garrison offices, heavenly monitoring offices, and fairy mountains.

The common people in the city were shocked: "Can the celestial bells and earthly drums really be struck?"

"I thought it was just a display for people to see?"

A person beside him said indignantly, "I've said it a long time ago, His Majesty the First Emperor is definitely not the kind of person who only does superficial work!"

"But you just don't believe it!"

The people around were silent.

letter?
How to believe it?
The price of faith...is higher than you can imagine!
……

Time passes slowly,

Li Qingfeng was sitting quietly at the entrance of the Hall of All People. Shaojun and Ning Xiaoqi looked at the back of the former high priest and the current Emperor with admiration and awe.

If it were in the past... when Li Qingfeng was just the chief priest of the Commoners' Academy, they would not be so fearful and stay away from Li Qingfeng.

All I can say is... no matter how the name of the supreme position is changed, no matter how much its lifelong power is restricted... the person sitting on that position will still be like the emperors of the past, and will become the lofty, sacred and inviolable lonely person in the hearts of other people.

Li Qingfeng also felt this clearly.

This is part of overall cognition.

But it is also a link that cannot be corrected.

The king must not lose his prestige!
The role of the king is to choose a path directly and arbitrarily with great wisdom and courage when the entire race is facing a life or death decision, and to lead the entire race to achieve it at all costs.

Therefore, the king must not lose his prestige!
Only with the existence of authority can the king's words have the effect of absolute authority. Otherwise... when the entire race faces life and death, the entire race will have difficulty making choices due to the lack of the king's authority, until there is no room for choice, until the entire race is extinct because of indecision and the bickering between each other...

The king's authority... is the reason why the king must endure being alone, which is the so-called 'to bear the disgrace of the country is to be the master of the country, to bear the misfortune of the country is to be the king of the world'.

It was also at this time,

The sound of footsteps approached like a mountain torrent and a galloping horse. The bustling voices of people also resounded completely, and then mixed into a buzzing sound that did not require any confusion.

Li Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes.

Warriors above the Spirit Transformation Realm flying in the sky, and low-level warriors and common people walking on the ground.

The dense crowd came like a tide.

When Shaojun and Ning Xiaoqi saw the overwhelming crowd coming like a tidal wave, their faces turned slightly pale and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

This is the time when everyone gathers together...the aura that can move even the strongest!
This is the source of the power of millions that can go against the will of heaven!
But in essence... it is actually the aura of the ultimate power after the Xuanzhen Fire Seed that was distributed to all the witch clans by the ancestor witches after Wuzu's fall was reunited. The aura and energy of the fire seed were scattered in every witch clan and the human race today because of the witch clan's act of dividing the fire seed, and as the bloodline dispersed and divided bit by bit...

The Xuanzhen fire that once suppressed all the monsters for countless years has disappeared from now on, but... as long as everyone gathers together as one... the power and strength of the Xuanzhen fire will be displayed again!

At this moment... everyone in the imperial capital is almost united as one. The extremely weak aura of the Mysterious Fire in their bodies, to a certain extent, or in other words, under the unity of their spiritual thoughts, has been re-fused beyond form and substance, thus forming the overwhelming and powerful aura that is covering the world before their eyes!
This can suppress the breath that frightens the soul of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and can even forcibly suppress and interrupt the breath of the strong men in the Tongtian Realm and Tianyao Realm!

But while Shaojun and Ning Xiaoqi were frightened, Li Qingfeng looked calmly at the sea of ​​people in front of him that was rushing towards him like a tide.

“Xuanzhen Fire Seed…”

He originally wanted to obtain the means to fuse the Xuanzhen fire from the imprisoned Witch Ancestor, or even recreate the real [World-Destroying Glazed Fire] as another trump card of his own.

But at this moment...

But he suddenly felt that the Xuanzhen fire should actually be dispersed into the bodies of all human beings, so that all human beings would have a trace of the weak and tiny Xuanzhen fire that was meaningless and useless.

This is better than having a Xuanzhen fire for all human beings to live and survive around!

Because this way... it will allow all human beings to know that the common spiritual will can reproduce this powerful force to a greater extent... and promote the unity of the human race as much as possible!

This means that Datong has been provided with a basic guarantee of external strength!

As long as everyone still has a trace of the mysterious fire... then the unity of the human race will always have the power to resist everything!

No need to seek the immortal mountain...

After all...the five boundaries established by Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi actually had the same function as the fairy mountain back then, but later on, the five boundaries had nothing to do with the people, and even became a tool to suppress the people.

The Immortal Mountain... might be much more powerful than the Five Departments, but after eternity... whether the Immortal Mountain would in turn suppress the common people, Li Qingfeng couldn't be sure, or rather... he was unwilling to believe that the immortal mountain that he had created as the backer of the human race... would also deteriorate and decay with the passage of time.

But as long as the Xuanzhen fire is still there, as long as the common people can still gather together with the same Datong spirit and belief after endless years, they will still have the power to turn over, still have the power to resist everything, and still have the power to eliminate all injustices!

Thinking about these,

Li Qingfeng stood up slowly, calmly, clasped his hands together, overlapped his palms, raised his thumbs, and bowed solemnly to the sea of ​​people in front of him with the most standard empty-handed salute.

"Everyone, be well!"

The crowd suddenly stopped.

From the master of the Fairy Mountain, Wang Sasa, the master of the Xinglou, Xiao Jiangshan, the chief of the Human Clan Ancestral Hall, Zhou Huanran, the dean of the Jiantian Academy, Ming Yayin, the attendants of the Common People's Academy, Zheng Huaizhou and Xin Yuan, and the dean of the Jiutian Academy, Ji Yanwei...

Then there were Qin Wen, Tie Sanwen, Gao Dengjia, Long Siyu... and so on, and then there were the common people and warriors.

All of them bowed to Li Qingfeng with empty hands, solemnly and respectfully: "Emperor Hou, rest in peace!"

The First Emperor is just a honorific title among the people.

In formal occasions, no one would flatter Li Qingfeng by calling him the First Emperor, in order to elevate Li Qingfeng, the Emperor, from all the later Emperors.

Li Qingfeng nodded: "Gentlemen, please enter the hall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingfeng dodged.

All parties looked at each other, somewhat confused, but they also understood... this was not the time for His Majesty the Later Emperor to test whether they understood respect for hierarchy, or whether they knew how to let His Majesty the Later Emperor enter the Hall of the People first.

His Majesty the Later Emperor...never cared about these things, and was even opposed to them from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Huanran: "Civilians go first! Warriors stay behind!"

The sound spread out along with the true energy, and the common people walked slowly and nervously towards the Hall of All Peoples.

At this time,

Ji Yanwei and Ming Yayin flashed to Li Qingfeng's side.

There was a look of longing in the eyes of both women, and a hint of extreme longing.

The other twelve of the Fourteen Immortals of the Immortal Mountain also flashed over.

Xiao Jiandun also squeezed over.

Zhang Ting came over inconspicuously, but she did not engage in any jealous behavior or assertion of sovereignty. Instead, she said, "These things... everyone knows about them, but no one can come forward to do anything..."

As Zhang Ting spoke, Ming Yayin, Ji Yanwei, Xiao Jiandun and Xin Yuan who had just walked over all fell silent.

Xiao Jiangshan said, "The garrison is too strict... Even Zhou Tangling and I were stopped when we went there together. They said that no one can enter the prison without your order..."

Li Qingfeng nodded and said calmly: "Then tell us your thoughts and plans!"

The establishment of Datong was destined not to be smooth sailing and was bound to encounter various problems.

For example, the biggest problem at the moment... the common people, and even the people of the world, still have the same understanding of Datong as the imperial court in the past.

Therefore, when the people have problems, they still have to swallow their anger and choose to endure it. They dare not go to the authorities, let alone come to the Hall of All Peoples to appeal after they have problems.

Xiao Jiangshan said: "What you are doing now is very good."

Zhou Huanran, who had just flashed over at this time, also nodded and said, "I think so too. Let's just hold a real People's Conference and let the common people experience the true meaning of the People's Hall. Only in this way... can we break the impasse!"

"It's just that if we were to do this kind of thing, it would easily cause people's hearts to change, so... since you are not here these few days, we can only watch."

Li Qingfeng nodded.

The so-called change in people's hearts means that if this matter is handed over to others, the common people and warriors will probably think that there will be internal strife and power struggle within Datong, and they may even associate it with more things.

By then, people will be in a panic..., and after the imperial capital has set an example that deputies can take over other people's business... then if the imperial capital is a little rotten, the whole world will be rotten!
By then, the world will become even more difficult to govern, and may even reach a point where it is difficult to reverse the situation.

After all, the human race numbers tens of billions!
The size of the planet Houtuzhou alone is so huge...it is beyond imagination!

Therefore, this is the true way of governing a big country, which requires taking it slow like cooking a small fish, and not being impatient at all.

Ji Yanwei said: "I think... the crown prince may start planning right away!"

Zhou Huanran, Xiao Jiangshan, Ming Yayin, Wang Sasa and others were all shocked, and looked at Ji Yanwei with inexplicable surprise.

Crown Prince?

How many days has it been?
Are you now anxious to train a crown prince? (End of this chapter)
