Early the next morning, the ministers gathered in the king's tent to discuss the decision of Helian City yesterday. Helian Cheng sat on the throne at the moment, and without saying a word, he glanced at everyone, who was originally surging and wanted to overturn this decision, but when they saw Helian Cheng's gaze, they all lowered their heads nervously.

Everyone didn't speak, and the atmosphere was very cold, but Ablon opened his mouth first: "Great Khan, can you think about yesterday's decision?" "Helian City is different from Wuli, he is more like a monarch than a tribal leader, these old ministers used to dare to speak casually in front of Wuli, but in front of Helian City, they have a natural jealousy, and they dare not be presumptuous.

"If you have any objections, you might as well say so." Helian Cheng said lightly.

"Great Khan, this slave burial has been the custom of our ancestors for many years, in order to ensure the glory of the master, it is a symbol of status, if there is no slave to accompany the burial, it will bring bad luck to our children and grandchildren!" It was Tata's richest family elder who spoke, and when he heard the news yesterday, he almost didn't get angry, such a traditional old nobleman was naturally the most opposed to it.

"Yes, such a sudden abolition will definitely cause strong opposition from all families, and King Wuli has never made such a decision when he was alive." Some people also echoed the words, and Wuli was also mentioned in the words, which meant that Helian City was not as popular as Wuli.

Several other ministers also stood up and chimed in, saying that it was inappropriate to do so, and saying that it had always been good, so why cause such a riot now. The people below nodded their heads in agreement, whispering about how free their days were when Wu Li was there, Helian Cheng listened to it, but he didn't have a seizure, and the archmage looked at Helian Cheng's face on the side, secretly frightened.

Helian Cheng didn't speak all the time, just watched the people below gossip, and finally, when everyone was quiet, he spoke again: "What do you think, how is Tata now?" ”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Helian City would suddenly ask such a thing.

"The Tata are now the most powerful tribe of the Xiongnu, and all the tribes must submit to us, which is all the credit of the Great Khan." Or Abron, he said this sincerely, Helian City's ability is indeed much higher than Wuli, which he never denies.

"So, what do you think is the difference between us and the Great Zhou?"

No one spoke, in fact, all the Xiongnu have paid attention to in recent years is their own food and clothing, snatching some grain, gold and silver from the hands of the Great Zhou to live a full and warm life has been satisfying, these old Xiongnu nobles also think so, they have never had any greater ambition in their minds.

"Forgive me for being foolish and not knowing what the Great Khan means?" Abron bowed his head and asked.

"It's edification. We have always lived on nomadic herding, and a strong nation will not only be satisfied with food and clothing, but will get rid of the old and innovate, so that the mind is enlightened, and those old traditions and old customs, which are not conducive to our stability of the people's mind, must all be abolished, what do you think? Helian Cheng said loudly, and everyone was stunned at the moment, this is something they have never thought of, and it is still a little difficult to accept it for a while.

"But the Great Khan, if such an old custom is suddenly abolished, I am afraid it will invite protests." A minister reminded from the side.

"Then it depends on the efforts of everyone here, you are all the pillars of Tata and even the entire Huns, I think everyone I said today can understand that if we Huns want to be strong or even compete in the Central Plains, we can't stick to the old rules, what do you think?" The words made those old nobles dizzy, so they no longer refutated, and turned their guns one after another and said that the Great Khan is really far-sighted, and it will definitely make our Huns better and better.

Helian Cheng is very satisfied, today's purpose has been achieved, his original intention was to abolish the old custom of burial of the living, but he didn't plan to implement it now, Chu Xiangwan had an accident and let him announce this decision in advance, so it's okay, you can try the attitude of these important ministers, this decision allows them to accept it clearly, and it will be much easier for him to implement the new policy in the future.

Just when the ministers were already preparing to leave, someone suddenly asked: "Dare to ask the Great Khan, where did the woman you saved yesterday come from?" As soon as they heard this, the important ministers all raised their eyes to look at Helian City, and they also heard about it, as if this woman was still a child of the Great Zhou.

"It's a slave girl who cooks for Ben Khan." Helian replied calmly.

"Great Khan, I heard that this woman is from the Great Zhou?"

"So what?"

"The Zhou people don't share the sky with us, is there any special reason for the Great Khan to do this?"

"This woman is Ben Khan's concubine, and she has not been canonized because of her status, do you understand?" After Helian Cheng finished speaking, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he thought that he had made up a lie very well, which not only blocked the mouths of these old guys, but also made Chu Xiangwan "his woman", thinking that Chu Xiangwan heard the news, I don't know what his face would look ugly like.

The minister in the tent looked clear, and now he finally understood why the Great Khan rushed back to save the slave girl, but there were still people who were not afraid of death and said that it was the Great Mage, he said: "Great Khan, this woman is a person from the Great Zhou after all, we don't know anything about her identity and background, in case she is a spy sent by the Great Zhou to confuse the Great Khan······"

"Archmage is worried, isn't he? Ben Khan has already sent someone to check her details, there is no problem, and she is not the Ben Khan who came directly to find her, if she wants to design the Huns, she will do it early in the morning, and she will not joke with her life, archmage, do you say yes? Helian asked rhetorically.

"Yes, since the Great Khan said so, there must be no problem." The archmage didn't dare to refute it again, in fact, he had already sent people to Donghu and the Central Plains, if there was really a problem, after a long time, he would definitely find out the clues.

Helian Cheng got up and coughed and said, "Do you guys have anything else?" If not, you can go back. ”

Everyone got up, but the archmage was about to go out when he was stopped by Helian Cheng, so he leaned over and asked, "Does the Great Khan have any other orders?" ”

"Archmage, I know that you are an old man who followed the king of Wuli, so you are loyal to Concubine Khan," after a pause, Helian Cheng continued, "However, if you say some unfounded nonsense in front of Concubine Khan, Ben Khan will not let it go. ”

"Yes, I understand what the Great Khan means, I am loyal to the Khan Concubine and also loyal to the Huns, please don't doubt my loyalty."

"Yes. By the way, you can go and check the pulse of the late slave again today to see if her health is better. Remember, if Concubine Khan asks, you don't have to say anything, just reply truthfully. ”

"Yes." The archmage slowly retreated.
