270, divided into cities
Nine out of ten of the world's heroes have come to the imperial city, and the heroes of the world also know the grand event of the Forbidden City, and this time to see the Son of Heaven, each city lord has brought the strongest warriors in the city, and more than 2,000 people are waiting in the guest house outside the gate of heaven.
When Li Kongkong proposed the palace battle, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but be moved, this was Cai Jinyan's plan, and Li Kongkong had built momentum in the Ascending Tower before, although the two masters folded their wings in Xiao Fei's hands, but they laid the groundwork for martial arts.
"Hmph, how can you compete in martial arts and swords above the palace? City Lord Li, don't you take Your Majesty in your eyes. Cai Qianzhou naturally didn't want to decide the ownership of the city in this way.
And Cai Qianzhou also said that before the Son of Heaven, he made his position clear.
If you want peace in the world, the Son of Heaven must rely on Cai Qianzhou, which is understandable, so the Son of Heaven will not have a stalemate with Cai Qianzhou.
Li Kongkong said: "The founding of the Great Yuan was originally to destroy the country with force, and then it rebuilt the seventy-two city defenses and garrisoned the armor to resist the rebels. If there is no martial arts, how can there be peace today? Could it be that City Lord Cai is unwilling, or does he not take His Majesty in his eyes?"
Cai Qianzhou waved his hand and said: "It's useless to say more, everything is up to Your Majesty, the city belongs to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty can only obey orders!"
Cai Qianzhou knew that Li Kongkong had also gathered a group of city lords, and sincerely opposed him at the grand ceremony, intending to redistribute the city, but he threw the problem to the Son of Heaven, which was much better than what he said.
Finally, at the critical moment, the Son of Heaven seemed a little nervous, after all, the game has reached the present, and this decision is the most critical. But this sentence is not easy to say, if Li Kongkong's proposal is approved, it will inevitably cause Cai Qianzhou to be dissatisfied, and at the moment of interest, he will definitely not back down, and it is not even necessary to lead troops to rebel.
However, if this proposal is refuted, then where will there be such a good opportunity in the future, and the redistribution of the city is tantamount to disrupting the pattern, so that the Son of Heaven can be more promising, and the overall situation in the future will be basically laid.
At this moment, Cai Jinyan bowed forward and bowed to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has something to say." ”
The Son of Heaven suddenly frowned, and said with a hint of imperceptible joy: "Cai Aiqing, you can tell me about it." ”
Cai Jinyan stood up, faced Cai Qianzhou and said: "Lord Cai takes Nanze Eight Cities as his home, and it is naturally a good thing to take the great cause of the society as his own responsibility, but after being in one place for a long time, he will naturally plant a heart of disobedience, and most cases of corruption originate from this. That's why I suggest that if you should rotate, you have to rotate, which is also for the needs of the world's major events. ”
Cai Qianzhou raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to reprimand angrily, but heard Cai Jinyan continue: "But after all, these cities were captured by the city lord Cai, and there are seventy-two cities in the world, and there are only thirty-eight city lords, so how to distribute them is a difficult problem." ”
Speaking of this, Cai Jinyan bowed to the Son of Heaven and said, "So Weichen suggested that the number of major city lords should not move, but the cities need to be redistributed!"
As soon as this suggestion came out, the city lords all whispered, this is still a big reshuffle, but the number remains the same, so the fundamental interests of a big city lord will not be harmed much.
But Cai Qianzhou didn't think so, his eight cities of Nanze had been connected, and the passages between them had been opened up and perfected, just like a country within a country, similar to the king of Mobei.
Now, if he reshuffles, his pattern will be broken, and his power will plummet. But there is nothing wrong with this proposal, and if he insists, he will be disobedient, and he will become the target of public criticism at that time.
You must know that the strength of Huang Chongsheng and Shi Hua should not be underestimated, and he Cai Qianzhou became the target of public criticism, and the gains outweighed the losses for himself.
At this moment, the court was silent, and the Son of Heaven knew that it was time for him to make a decision, and all the roads were paved, and it was up to him to step on it.
"All of you are right, but I believe that the city is the defense of the country, and it is necessary to garrison heavy troops and appoint sages to manage it. You are all the pillars of the country, and you have no distinction between each other, but how to divide the city under heaven is indeed a difficult matter. Therefore, I decided to divide the seventy-two cities in the world into three classes according to their geography and wealth, and redistribute them, but the number of cities under the lords of each city remained the same, and the cities with similar ones continued to be managed. ”
The decision of the Son of Heaven is even more on the basis of Cai Jinyan, that is, it will be redistributed according to the third-class standard, and it will be distributed together with the adjacent cities, so that it is convenient for the new city lord to take care of it. In this way, the power of the original city lord is still relatively concentrated, and there will be no empty power.
This decision is very important, at least Cai Qianzhou will no longer have an opinion.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the standard of this distribution?" asked Shi Hua at this time.
He didn't really want to redistribute the city, because he was based on Whitehorse, and if he wanted to leave Whitehorse, he wouldn't want to do anything about it.
Now Shi Hua mentioned what the criteria for distribution are, and this is the next highlight, because it is related to who can get the important city.
"Since the world is determined by force, it is naturally necessary to seize the city by force, I dare to propose to Your Majesty, how about our palace battle?"
Li Kongkong brought up the old matter again, this time Cai Qianzhou was no longer polite, and angrily reprimanded: "Li Kongkong, do you think that Wule City is invincible in the world? Let me tell you, Nanze is a vast people, and the Lord of Huangcheng is a native of Nanze, are you afraid of you?"
Li Kongkong smiled disdainfully: "You are naturally not afraid of me, so how about a fight, and I will play in person?"
Cai Qianzhou also said disdainfully: "A martial artist, let you be the lord of the city, it's just a monkey and a crown." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was getting stiffer and stiffer, Huang Chongsheng walked over, pressed the wrists of the two and said, "Since the two city lords agree to the proposal of the palace battle, then I will ask Your Majesty to redistribute the city according to this rule, I don't know if it's okay?"
Martial arts is the idea of the Son of Heaven, as the saying goes, there is no first, there is no second, this method is the most convincing to the public, and their plan is also the most implemented.
"Surrender the fate of a city to the competition, Your Majesty, Your Majesty feels a bit of a joke. Shi Hua objected.
His Majesty had a disagreement, and the Son of Heaven could weigh it, so he only heard him say slowly: "The city is divided into three classes, who occupies the first class, who takes care of the third class, although they are all loyal to the country, but the difficulty is different, I thought about it again and again, and decided to agree to Li Aiqing's suggestion, the palace battle will be the palace battle, and my hall will be a battlefield, you Aiqing will give it a go." ”
After Chinese New Year's Eve, each city will send experts to fight to fight at the beginning of the new year, and as for the victory or defeat, it will be handed over to the Son of Heaven.
With the Son of Heaven as the referee and the world as the bet, this palace battle must be unprecedented, not to be said to be the last one.
Almost at the same time, there was an endless stream of people coming and going in the Ascending Tower, and many merchants saw the business opportunity and hired martial artists with high gold, and those small cities could not find masters who could do it, so they would naturally come here to hire, so it would be profitable.
The Imperial City gambling stall also ushered in its first peak on this night, and it is still talked about many years later.
