"Okay," Zhou Wan'er smiled, "I will sit on the throne of the Great Zhou Empire!"

The eyes of the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Empire were all on Zhou Wan'er, some were surprised, some were disdainful, and some were even angry, but none of them showed a look of approval in their eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A moment later, there was a lot of chatter in the crowd.

"The Great Zhou Empire has never had an empress!"

"Not only the Great Zhou Empire, but also the entire Xuanhuang Continent, for 100,000 years, I have never heard of any empire ruled by the empress!"

"Yes, how can a woman rule an empire?"

"I will never bow down to a woman and call her Your Majesty!"

......

The discussion of the civil and military officials became more and more noisy, and even among the two hundred gold-armored warriors and the thousands of palace guards, some people began to discuss.

There are more and more voices of discontent.

Zhou Wan'er looked at Wang Yu and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Enough!"

Wang Yu suddenly shouted.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Wang Yu glanced at everyone and said in a loud voice: "One hundred thousand years ago, after the Demon Emperor led hundreds of millions of demon soldiers to sweep the Xuanhuang Continent, the Xuanhuang Continent fell apart and established hundreds of large and small empires one after another.

The empires attack each other, compete for land and people, in order to obtain more resources, which are used to fund the cultivation of the royal family and the strong people in the imperial sect, enhance their own strength, and after the strength increases, they will carry out larger-scale attacks on each other.

At the beginning, this kind of mutual attack and merger did promote the progress of the Xuanhuang Continent and restore some of the strength of the Xuanhuang Continent, but it soon revealed its shortcomings.

The reason is that the Xuanhuang Continent has a vast territory, and several large empires have risen at the same time in the melee, and these large empires have vast territories and close strengths, and no one can annex anyone again, often in order to compete for a city, each investing millions of troops, killing and wounding hundreds of thousands of people.

The external conquest for many years, the internal conquest of the tyrannical conquest, made the people miserable, the entire Xuanhuang Continent continued to suffer internal friction, countless strong people died in the mutual attack, the Xuanhuang Continent was poor and weak, and now it is far behind the dark continent of the Demon Emperor.

Now that the entire Xuanhuang Continent is unified into one empire, and worldly power is concentrated in the hands of one person, this internal friction can be eliminated, and a more fair and effective cultivation and support system can be established.

In this case, the emperor of the empire does not need to be strong, all he needs is diligence, love for the people and fairness, why not a woman as the emperor of the empire?"

Everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a while.

After a while, someone couldn't help but ask, "How can we establish a more fair and effective cultivation offering system?"

Wang Yu said: "From now on, those who are interested in martial arts cultivation in the Xuanhuang Continent can accept the cultivation assessment of the empire, and according to the level of assessment, the empire will provide the corresponding offerings and obtain the corresponding cultivation resources." ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately resounded with a lot of discussions.

"The cultivation of martial artists is very different, how does the empire evaluate their cultivation?"

"Yes! It is difficult to achieve fairness and justice in artificial assessment, and there will inevitably be fraud for personal gain, resulting in unfair assessment!"

"Even if the assessment is fair and just, how high can the empire provide offerings? Compared to those who are not rich or noble, I am afraid that it is not as small as the resources provided by their families, right?"

Wang Yu turned his head to look and saw that the person who spoke just now was an ordinary palace guard, and it seemed that he should be from a civilian family.

In the Xuanhuang Continent, there are many teenagers from civilian families who have good talents and could have cultivated to a higher level, but because they can't get enough cultivation resources, they give up cultivation prematurely and start to make a living, such as entering the army to serve in the army, serving as a guard of the royal family or a wealthy family, acting as a personal teacher for the children of a wealthy family, and so on.

Although after receiving the reward, you can use these rewards to buy the corresponding resources and continue to cultivate, compared to those who can concentrate on cultivation, there is no doubt that the progress of cultivation is much slower, and the achievement is much lower.

Wang Yu looked at the palace guard and said: "Now that the Xuanhuang Continent is unified and internal friction has been eliminated, as long as the governance is good and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the empire will be able to obtain enough resources to support the cultivation of martial artists, although it may not be comparable to those children of families who are either rich or noble, but it is definitely enough for normal cultivation! As for how to achieve fairness and justice in the evaluation of martial artists' cultivation......

He frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then continued: "I haven't come up with a better way yet, but as long as I do my best, I should be able to be fair and just in general!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large bird with a length of 100 feet and brilliant feathers flew quickly from the southern sky, and landed on the square in front of the palace hall in the blink of an eye.

On the back of the big bird sat an old man cross-legged, dressed in a green cloth robe, with crane hair and a childish face, and fairy wind bones.

"Master Zu!"

Zhou Wan'er screamed in surprise and hurriedly walked down the steps to greet her.

Zhou Chang also hurriedly followed behind Zhou Wan'er.

Wang Yu turned around and saw that the old man was Zhou Tongtian, the cave master of Nanming Giant Spirit Island, and the big bird under the seat was the bare-topped three-legged luan he raised.

Wang Yu and You Jiuniang had been to his Tongtian Cave, and they were old acquaintances with him, so they hurriedly walked down the steps in front of the main hall and quickly greeted him.

Zhou Sheng and Zhou Wen had already heard Zhou Chang talk about this Tongtian Patriarch, and knew that he was the successor to the throne of the Great Zhou Empire tens of thousands of years ago, and because he was committed to cultivation, he gave up the throne and went to the Giant Spirit Island in Nanming.

This Tongtian Patriarch can be regarded as one of their ancestors.

The two of them didn't dare to slack off, and they hurried up to meet them.

The six of them arrived in front of Zhou Tongtian and bowed down together: "Meet the Tongtian Patriarch!"

Zhou Tongtian sat on the back of the bare-topped three-legged luan, and said lightly: "No need to be polite, I have expected today's events, I came this time for two things, the first is to give you the Tongtian list." ”

"Babel?"

Except for You Jiuniang, the other five people were all stunned.

They had never heard of the Tongtian List, and You Jiuniang looked indifferent, as if she had heard of the Tongtian List a long time ago, and knew that the Tongtian List was in Zhou Tongtian's hands.

Zhou Tongtian reached into his arms and took out a palm-sized piece of white jade.

This piece of white jade is half an inch thick, rectangular, six inches long, three inches wide, blank in the middle, surrounded by golden runes, and it does look like a blank list.

He held this piece of white jade in the palm of his right hand and gently threw it upward.

The white jade flew into the air, and the runes around it flowed, and suddenly the golden light flashed, turning into a huge piece of white jade.

The proportions of white jade have not changed, six zhang long, three zhang wide, and half a zhang thick.

This huge piece of white jade fell with a bang and was erected in the center of the square, facing the door of the palace hall.
