Chapter 725

Although the kingdom of clouds is the supremacy of imperial power, in fact, the City owners are inherited by their families and succeeded by their descendants, consolidating the strength of the family in a region from generation to generation.

For hundreds of years, the city masters were almost the same as the earth emperors.

The so-called imperial power is only a nominal title.

According to the history of China, it is almost a replica of the emperor and princes of Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that the princes are replaced by the city masters here.

Among them, the city masters were assigned by different departments, and the relationship was very complex. Even if the emperor of the cloud kingdom wanted to change, it was difficult to start.

But now, the life of the city masters who used to be domineering in the cloud country is very difficult.

Especially in the cities on the front line of Dayao army, most of the original owners of the cities now don't know which random stone hill to throw.

There are a very few people who throw everything away and run away in time before they escape.

Now the erosion of the war situation has surprised everyone.

The officials in the remaining cities were also terrified.

In particular, two of the city leaders who almost faced the big Yaobing front had already run away, and the rest sent their families and children away.

However, the city Lord who lost the city is no different from the drowning dog. Just holding a glimmer of hope and running back to Wangjing, Prime Minister Zheng chengmian found a way to cut off his head.

There is a strong army outside, but there is such a prime minister who is eyeing many city masters.

Even recently, Zheng chengmian finally believed that Dayao was ready to perish and fight to death with the last force, but he was still not soft on the city master who gave up the city and fled.

Running back is dead.

Don't run, it's also death.

Nearly half of the 200 cities are now in the hands of Dayao.

Even the most optimistic people have a very sad attitude towards the war.

Not to mention these city masters who know the military strength of both sides.

Now some city leaders have started drinking and drinking every day. They are unscrupulous and ready to enjoy the last period. The cities are covered with dark clouds, and the atmosphere of despair is filled at will.

Just then a man appeared.

Lin Mengsheng, a young scholar in his thirties.

He persuaded many city masters to surrender to Dayao.

A total of 47 cities are located between Dayao Bingfeng and Wangjing.

It can be said that once the 47 cities are opened, there will be no barrier in Wangjing except the three Acropolis.

Compared with the current situation, surrender seems to be a wise choice, but in fact it is not.

I don't know how many people had such an idea, but they didn't implement it in the end.

For one thing, the reputation of the ancient nationality is really bad in the cloud country.

Second, surrender to a foreign nation. This is a matter that will last forever. Future generations can't lift their heads.

Second, someone wanted to surrender before the battle, but at that time, when the army was under the city, how could Zidong accept it? He was directly cut off.

Fourth, even if they can surrender, they have to consider those domestic experts.

Now in war, those people don't know where to hide.

But if you surrender and curse, those experts will come out of nowhere and kill the city Lord's house. They can also spread the name of chivalry among the people.

In this way, the idea of surrender can only be thought of in some people's minds.

However, Lin Mengsheng didn't know where to get some information about Dayao's current prisoner of war camp, so as to infer the changes of the ancient nationality, and persuaded dozens of City owners to go to the front of the battle to see Zidong in person.

After listening to the female emperor, Ren 8000 asked, "what's his purpose?"

Hearing Ren 8000's inquiry, the empress looked strange immediately: "it is said that his teacher and several classmates were assassinated by Zheng chengmian on the way to Beijing..."

Ren 8000:

If you remember correctly, did the people in Duwei mansion do that?

If this is true, the people in Duwei mansion will really make great contributions.

Whether this person's words are true or false, as long as these people's surrender is true.

Even if this person wants to take this credit as his way into the body, so what? Dayao really lacks such talents.

In this regard, the female emperor had similar ideas: "I'm afraid this person has other plans. I don't like such a person."

For the female emperor's preference, Ren 8000 feels very normal.

No one likes traitors.

"An official who is loyal but can't bring benefits to the people, and an official who has his own careful thinking but can do things, which does your majesty want to use?" Ren 8000 raised this question.

In fact, this is a problem that the female emperor has to face sooner or later.

In the past, there were only ancient people in the dynasty, and no other people could use it. The Female Emperor didn't consider this problem.

It is said that the ancient people are simple, on the one hand, because the ancient people are straight, on the other hand, Dayao is really poor, and there are not many colorful things for them to be baptized.

But people always change.

So did the ancient people.

With a little change in Dayao, every ancient official should also be tested by this baptism.

Not to mention the Yunren and Jingren, the female emperor will use it sooner or later.

It is not a good thing for an ancient race to stand on top of other races.

Ren 8000 simply took this opportunity to raise this question.

The female emperor was thoughtful when she heard Ren 8000's question.

"Of course I like loyalty. But if I can't get it both ways, I'll use the second one. Do you mean this?" The female emperor thought carefully and said.

Ren 8000 clapped his hands and said, "it's your majesty. I understand at a glance."

"You seem to like using these people very much? It's like this since the king family!" The female emperor looked at him and said.

"Your Majesty, although the ancient people are loyal, they are really powerless in many things. Moreover, we have no spare for such powerless officials! We can't send ordinary people to be officials? In that case, we must create a mess. Your Majesty must use these people! Whether for the sake of glory or for the sake of the people!" Ren 8000 said immediately.

To be fair, he really likes to use people outside the ancient family.

Although the ancient people are really powerful.

But this powerful construction! It's destruction!

What he wants to do is build. Those who are not strong but have a good mind make it better for many Jing families and people in the cloud country.

But in this way, non ancient people will gradually enter the court, and they will hold together in the face of powerful ancient people.

This result makes him easy to be suspected, because he is not an ancient people, and he contributed to that situation.

This is what he has long wanted to understand.

"I understand. I won't doubt you." The female emperor sighed.

She doesn't understand.

But Dayao has always been the Dayao of the ancient people.

Such days seem to be changing.

Ren 8000 held the palm of the empress's hand and passed on his temperature.

The female emperor's palm was small and soft. It made him feel very comfortable every time he held it.
