Mu Sheng asked, "Naqi, I've always had a question, why does this old thief keep taking his life?" Is he so greedy for everything in the world? You must know that taking away other people's bodies is to bear great karma, and if you don't do it, it will be the end of the collapse of the original spirit and the scattering of the soul, and there will be no chance to re-enter reincarnation. ”

"If a monk doesn't have a deep hatred, he usually won't do this, even if he enters the reincarnation, he will never give it up easily, hasn't he lived enough after more than seven hundred years?"

Mu Yinaqi smiled slightly and said, "When you are the emperor for a few days and feel the benefits of power, you will understand why that old ghost is obsessed with his mind and keeps taking his body to continue his life." ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he was noncommittal......

A few days after the wedding, Mu Sheng, as the 2.0 version of the Immortal Emperor, met with the city lords and tribal leaders attached to the mountain puppets in batches, and he also roughly understood what the current situation of the mountain puppets was, and the social system of this mountain puppet was still in a relatively primitive semi-slave and semi-feudal state compared to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Slavery is easy to understand, the so-called feudalism is the feudal state, the Son of Heaven is divided into princes, the princes are divided into doctors, and the doctors are divided into feuds, and the doctors are divided into feuds, and the political system of the Xia and Shang dynasties is almost the same, much like the European Middle Ages. (The feudal system here does not refer to the feudal society as defined by Western thought)

As the political center of the mountain puppet clan, before the Immortal Emperor did not usurp power, Yucheng was originally under the condominium of the nobles in the elders of various ethnic groups in the country, which was actually the original version of the aristocratic oligarchy republic.

After the Immortal Emperor officially came to power, he killed all the original noble elders, and replaced his cronies as the lords of various cities, he mainly relied on his high folk prestige and personal prestige to rule the mountain puppets for more than 300 years, but due to the limitations of the times, he did not establish a set of effective bureaucratic systems.

Besides, judging from the actual situation of the current mountain puppet society, it is not realistic at all, and the prerequisite for the establishment of a bureaucratic system is that you must have a large number of literate intellectual elites to serve the state.

And the basic operation of the Immortal Emperor after coming to power is that in addition to reusing his own cronies, the old subordinates who have fought in the army before have also enabled the monk group to escort himself, which may have something to do with the fact that he himself is a monk, which is completely different from the monk group in the Central Plains who basically stay away from politics.

And what Mu Sheng wants to do now is to re-establish the system of the presbyterian council, anyway, there is already a tradition of aristocratic republic, what he wants to do is to transform the absolute monarchy dictatorship of the Immortal Emperor in the past into a dual monarchy in which the aristocratic republic and the monarch share power.

The elders will also continue to pull the tiger skin fox fake tiger power of the Immortal Emperor, Mu Sheng is giving them these clan leaders, city lords from all over the country, and sharing part of the power of the country, they are also happy to see it, and then form a relatively mature and stable model of long-term operation.

In fact, Mu Yinaqi is right, once he leaves here for a long time, the most capable of rebelling are these city lords and clan leaders in various places, they have soldiers and territories in their hands, and they can basically be said to be potential careerists, and they are also the new aristocratic class that was re-cultivated after the Immortal Emperor killed all the original noble elders.

Especially waiting for these careerists to resist rebellion, it is better to invite them all in to share power, even if they still want to oppose themselves, it doesn't matter, there are a bunch of people in the presbytery, and not one person has the final say.

It is impossible for the interests of careerists to be consistent, and they do not have the strength to completely crush their opponents, and when they fight to the death, he will have already come back at that time, with the prestige of the Immortal Emperor in the past, it is not easy to take down a few anti-thieves?

At the same time, Mu Sheng also felt that even after they took power, they would not easily tear off the extremely deterrent tiger skin of the Immortal Emperor, and the mountain puppet was among the Southern Barbarian Lords, and the overall strength could only be regarded as above average, not to mention that there were powerful foreign enemies such as the former clan and the Taisha Dynasty, plus a Lingnan general, Lu Sheng, could be described as embattled, and the international environment was quite bad.

The mountain puppet tribe is especially feuded with the Taisha Dynasty, and it is a century-old feud, Borges, the old thief, once captured the royal capital of the Taisha Dynasty, almost led to its demise, and burned its capital after plundering countless treasures and beauties, forcing the Taisha Dynasty to move its capital far away to avoid its sharpness.

Together with the monarch of the Taisha Dynasty, he was also captured alive on the battlefield, and his head was cut off to make a drinking utensil, and now he has seen this cup made of skulls in his bedroom, this blood feud, Mu Sheng estimates that even in the next few hundred years, the rulers of the Taisha Dynasty will not forget.

With such a powerful foreign enemy, the city lord of the various tribes of the mountain puppet clan, as long as his brain is not kicked by the donkey, he will never easily tear off this layer of tiger skin, the immortal emperor is both the appeal and the deterrent, as long as he is in Yucheng for a day, the Taisha Dynasty, the overlord of southern Xinjiang with a million armor, will never dare to provoke the mountain puppet easily.

Having said that, as long as the golden sign of the Immortal Emperor is there, no matter what happens in Yucheng, he Mu Sheng can still be a fox and a tiger when he comes back, and he will respond to every call, this is influence, this is prestige.

In the afternoon, Mu Sheng, accompanied by Mu Yinaqi, walked to the ruins of the former Yucheng Minister's Meeting, a hall that could accommodate hundreds of people.

After all, no one has taken care of it for more than 200 years, and even the roof is leaking, and when the old thief was in power, it was used as a warehouse.

Now the city lords of all the ministers have been called here by the emperor, everyone is a little unclear, in fact, it is okay to hold a meeting in the castle, and they are called here to announce the good news of the re-establishment of the presbyterian council, which is of special significance, and after the official announcement, it will be renovated here with funds, and this will be one of the power cores of Yucheng in the future.

When all the city lords saw the arrival of the second generation of the Immortal Emperor, they all prostrated at the mouth of the ground and said Long live the Emperor! He didn't dare to look up at the emperor, Mu Sheng glanced at the mountain puppet nobles who were crawling at his feet, and at this time he really had a feeling of being in control of everything.

Is this what a king feels like? Is this what power feels like? No wonder the old thief of the Immortal Emperor was reluctant to let go of all this now, and he didn't hesitate to scatter his soul to keep giving up his life.

Mu Sheng slowly walked down, took the jade hand of Emperor Mu Yinaqi and sat on the main seat of the hall, and with a slight wave of his hand, everyone stood up and sat back in their positions.

Mu Sheng took off his mask and put it aside, and met with the local leaders of them, of course, he had to let them know what he looked like now, and what kind of skin he had changed after being reborn.

Mu Sheng glanced to the side, and the attendant who came with him bowed, turned around, took out the edict and read it on the spot.

When the waiter finished reading the edict, the scene was almost audible, everyone looked at each other, and some people even plucked out their ears to see if they had auditory hallucinations......

It's been more than two hundred years, and the Emperor wants to re-establish the Council of Elders? What kind of international joke is this? It's you who kills all the elders, or you, it's you who reopen the Council of Elders, what about playing? Are you looking for an opportunity to slaughter us people by lifting us up? We haven't lived long enough......

Mu Sheng saw that their faces changed slightly, their eyes and noses, their mouths and hearts, each of them like an old monk in a fixed state, without saying a word.

Mu Sheng had no choice but to open his mouth first to set the tone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, although we can speak freely about what we are discussing today, the old man will never ruin people because of his words. ”

After waiting for a long time, these old fritters still looked at each other, no one dared to come forward to speak, Mu Sheng saw this situation, and he couldn't cry or laugh, this old thief was actually very good to the people under his rule when he was in power, and often showed kindness to maintain his glorious image of the Immortal Emperor in the people, and the old thief was also a national hero before he usurped the throne.

But these city lords and leaders have never had a good face, and if they have a little suspicion, they will be wiped out, and the three protectors of Borlangtai under him before him are the three executioners he trusts the most, and it can be said that they are full of blood.

The emperor has an excellent reputation among the people, and his reign is super long, and in the eyes of the common people, it is not much different from a living immortal.

Although these city lords have very great power in the local area, almost equal to the emperor of the soil, it is very difficult to incite the soldiers and the common people to rebel against the immortal emperor, and it is still in the conspiracy stage, and the second day it was reported by the masses, and on the third day, the three protectors led the troops out, and the heads of the city lord himself and the whole family were hung on the Yucheng Square to show the public.

Mu Sheng's current image in their eyes is actually not much different from that of the living Hades, no wonder these people are scared like little chickens when they see themselves.

When Mu Sheng met them in batches before, he chewed the words one by one, and spoke cautiously, for fear of upsetting him.

Which of the city lords who have been lucky enough to survive until now is not a human spirit who has been tempered for thousands of years? I don't want to go up and touch the emperor's mold head first.

Seeing this situation, Mu Sheng really didn't expect that the ruling foundation of this old thief would be so unbreakable, seeing that they still didn't say a word, he had to pretend to sweep them around with cold eyes, and snorted coldly!

Finally, these old fritters turned pale and couldn't sit still, and they knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said in unison: "Long live the emperor, re-establishing the Council of Elders is a disaster for the country, and I ask the emperor to take back his life." ”

Seeing this situation, Mu Sheng was extremely helpless, he didn't go around in circles with them, no matter how he went down, he would definitely be so scared that he didn't dare to speak like a little chicken, so he simply picked out the words and said them clearly.

Mu Sheng learned the tone of the old thief and said: "The old man has something important to take his wife to the Central Plains in a few months, the long is ten years, the short is five years, so the big and small things in Yucheng are basically no one to deal with, Borlangtai, Huktila, these traitors actually dare to oppose me, you have also seen what happened to them." ”

"So the old man thinks about it, after this posthumous matter, the old man wants to entrust it to all of you here, this reopening of the ministerial meeting is also to let everyone come together to discuss state affairs, and keep this city in order, the old man is also relieved to take his wife to travel to the Central Plains, you Aiqing is a loyal person who has been tested, and I can still trust the old man. Calling everyone here today, the old man really sincerely wants to discuss the rules and regulations with you, and you can rest assured to speak freely and boldly. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, the city lords finally understood what was going on, it seemed that the living king of Hades was afraid that after he left his homeland, the backyard would catch fire.

The city lords of all places raised their heads slightly and cautiously glanced at the emperor's face, as if it did not seem to be a fake, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were also lowered slightly.
