Chapter 3 Morning Meeting
On October 2, 9003 in the continental calendar, Chu Heng held the first imperial court meeting in the Chu Zheng Palace.
After Chu Heng's deliberations with Kai Ligan, Morgana, Sandra Victor and others, the candidates for the governors of the 11 provinces and the county guards of the 130 counties had been finalized, and most of them were people who were both nobles and followers of the Kosmos Cult. Today, because of Chu Heng's accession to the throne, all the officials have already arrived in Dulaiyin, and now they are all allowed by Chu Heng to participate in the first court meeting of the Great Chu Empire.
After the Chu Zheng Hall was rebuilt, it was extremely wide, 11 governors, 130 county guards and 16 lords, 2 empresses, plus more than 50 halberders in front of the palace stood in the hall at the same time, but it was not crowded at all. And because of Chu Heng's ascension to the throne, the city lords of more than 900 cities in the empire also gathered outside the Chu Zheng Palace, but because of the low official rank, they could only kneel on the square outside the palace.
These city lords are also composed of nobles and believers who have defected to the Zerg and have been parasitized, and once the court meeting is over today, they will go to their posts to manage their respective cities. It is important to know that most of the cities of the Great Chu Empire are still under military management and curfew, which is extremely unfavorable to Chu Heng's rapid stabilization of the country.
In the Chu Zheng Palace, Chu Heng sat on the dragon chair designed by him with a frosty face, and now the good mood of ascending the throne and canonizing the queen and concubine has been completely destroyed.
The ministers below were all clear about why the Imperial Emperor Chu Heng was so angry, and now even those Chu Heng's cronies, the Zerg lords and empresses, stood there and didn't dare to say anything.
"I know that Kai Ligan has just quelled the rebellion of the creatures underground, and the entire Great Chu Empire has not yet stabilized, but what I want to know now is how long it will take for my Great Chu Empire to be truly stable?" Chu Heng said with anger in his endurance.
Hearing Chu Heng's words, everyone had already figured out what Chu Heng meant, he was going to move troops.
"What? Don't talk anymore? Chu Heng asked with a cold face.
Hearing this, Naxi, who had just taken over the position of governor of Victor St. Ulan Province, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, because St. Ulan Province was the first to submit to His Majesty, and now that all the people are subservient, the entire St. Ulan Province only needs to leave a small number of troops to ensure that there will be no chaos." Even if there is a rebellion, devout believers will help His Majesty clear all obstacles. ”
"I know the situation in St. Ulan's province, but what about the others?" Chu Heng glanced at the remaining governors.
"Your Majesty, the subjects of the Red Dragon Province have all surrendered because of the indoctrination of the Chosen People, and only 200,000 troops need to be left to ensure that there will be no chaos." Al said, the governor of the Red Dragon Province.
The Red Dragon Province is also the eastern part of Rigard, which contains more than a dozen counties such as the Red Dragon Plain, and is the first territory of the Rigard Kingdom to fall. When the Zerg first invaded Rigard, the resistance here was the most fierce, and now it has been killed by Morgana, and it can be said that those who have the heart of resistance have been slaughtered, and those who are left are either scared stupid or soft eggs who dare not rebel.
With the statements of Naxi and several others, the remaining governors came out one after another. However, the strange thing is that although everyone knows that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time. But no one dared to jump out and go against Chu Heng. This is the charm of absolute dictatorship, the courtiers can only follow Chu Heng's will to find a way to pave the way for him, no matter how ridiculous his ideas are, they dare not disobey.
"Okay, I understand your situation. The provinces of St. Ulan, Jace, Silias, and the Red Dragon can only garrison a small number of troops, while the other provinces must ensure that they have more than 500,000 troops. The rest of the forces were all under the command of Kelly Gan. You can go south to clear the North Whispering Jungle. Morgana, on the other hand, commanded the forces of the empire and suppressed all resistance. Those who dare to make trouble for me at this time will be killed. Chu Heng said.
"The ministers obey." Together with the two empresses, there was no room for resistance. After Chu Heng made a decision, he had to comply. However, among all of them, I am afraid that only Morgana is unhappy, because this time Chu Heng actually personally ordered Kai Ligan to go on the expedition, but left himself in the country.
"Another point, after you go back, you must carry forward the Kosmos Cult well, and the number of believers in the development of the Kosmos Cult in the future will account for half of your performance." Chu Heng glanced at all the ministers and said, "The governor who develops the slowest every month can have a demerit punishment, and he can be demoted after three times." And the fastest governor can be directly promoted in three months. I know that the situation is different in each province. But that in no way justifies you. ”
After everyone heard this, a sense of imminence arose.
In fact, this is also Chu Heng's last resort, because Chu Heng urgently needs a large amount of faith power to increase his energy income, as long as he can reconnect with the elf clan, these faith powers can be turned into energy.
Although Chu Heng has stored a lot of energy in his hands now. But this time I don't know what kind of things will happen to Lu Dao when I go south, only more energy can bring Chu Heng a sense of security.
"Sandra, your assassination intelligence work is good, I have decided to increase the investment in assassination." Chu Heng's sudden words made Sandra ecstatic, but Morgana, who was also engaged in intelligence work but did not have Sandra's remarkable effect, was a little unhappy. Of course, she was just unhappy with Sandra, and she couldn't afford that kind of thought about Chu Heng at all.
"Retreat." After giving these orders, Chu Heng waved his hand impatiently.
Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, the various officials bowed and bowed before exiting the Chu Zheng Hall in an orderly manner, but Morgana and Kai Ligan, who had been contacted by Chu Heng's spirit, did not leave directly after exiting the Chu Zheng Palace, but slowly waited at the door for the ministers to slowly retreat.
Sure enough, after a while, a palace maid walked out of the hall, saluted the two of them, and said, "Your Majesty, announce the two empresses." ”
Although Kailina still manages the entire palace after being canonized as the imperial concubine by Chu Heng, she no longer shows up easily. It is worth mentioning that Chu Heng ascended the throne this time and canonized Tiliana as the queen, and Lilian and Kailina were both canonized as the imperial concubines.
Under the guidance of the palace maids, the two empresses entered the Chu Zheng Hall again, and at this time, in addition to Chu Heng and the two empresses, there were only more than fifty assassins who acted as halberds.
"Morgana and Kelligan have seen their masters." The two empresses saluted and said. In private, they preferred to call Chu Heng the master, and only in public did they call him the master or majesty.
"The Zerg's strength is still too small now, leaving six million Zerg troops to guard all parts of the empire, Kelligan only has 10 million troops, you must know that this time I went south not only to let you clear the demonic beasts in the Northern Whispering Jungle, your final enemies may be the four major empires in the south and even elves and krakens." Chu Heng stared at them and said, he knew that the two empresses would understand his thoughts, because only the two empresses understood him best. (To be continued.) )
