"Minister Wei, I have my own decision regarding the new laws. A discussion on the new laws will be held in seven days. I hope you will actively participate. Please share any suggestions or ideas you may have then. I will observe the reactions of everyone present and decide on the final form of the new laws on that day."
Ye Qiu said calmly.
"Very well, that's exactly right. Then this old minister will take his leave."
Wei Tong bent down and stepped back, then quickly left.
Ye Qiu slowly sat down, his face somewhat cold: "This old scoundrel really seems to thrive on chaos."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu called Xia Zu.
Xia Zu was somewhat surprised when he received Ye Qiu's call: "Are you in trouble?"
“Xia Zu, you…”
"Stop! I'm not Xia Zu. I'm just an ordinary old man. Xia Zu is you. No, you should be called Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu of Xia."
"You flatter me," Ye Qiu said with a wry smile. "I'm calling to bother you because I wanted to ask you about someone. What do you think of Wei Tong?"
“Wei Tong?” Xia Zu was slightly taken aback, then said, “This man is two-faced, shrewd, and extremely smooth.”
However, based on my long-term observation, Wei Tong is not a good person. I had already obtained some evidence and wanted to deal with him, but with the resurgence of spiritual energy, I had to give up.
"Why are you asking this person now? What happened?"
"Regarding the new law, he suggested that I should not care about the lives of ordinary people, but unconditionally cooperate with those families and sects so that the new law would not impose any restrictions on those families and sects. I cannot agree with that."
“We absolutely cannot listen to him,” Xia Zu said solemnly. “If you really do that, the consequences will be unimaginable. No matter the era, never abandon your people, otherwise the country will surely be shattered and the world turned upside down.”
This Wei Tong has definitely been bribed by some powerful force; you should be careful.
"I understand. Thank you for your explanation, Ancestor Xia. It has strengthened my resolve to deal with this person," Ye Qiu said.
"Just go ahead and do it. I believe in your abilities."
"Ancestor Xia, I have an idea. After the world is at peace and the new laws are successfully implemented, you should return and continue..."
"Hey, wait, why is there no sound all of a sudden? No signal? Ye Qiu, I can't hear you, I'm hanging up now."
Xia Zu hung up the phone quickly.
Ye Qiu was speechless.
It's obvious that Xia Zu did it on purpose!
"Someone come here."
Ye Qiu called out.
As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, a figure immediately entered the study.
The newcomer was tall and imposing, with an impressive presence.
He came from the Dragon Palace and was once an elder of the Dragon Palace. His name was Chu Xiao.
"Emperor Wu, your subordinate is here."
Chu Xiao bowed slightly.
"Go and inform Xia Chen to hurry up and prepare. On the day the New Law Discussion Conference begins, have 50,000 Kunlun troops disguised as civilians surround the square."
On the day the grand event begins, not a single person with ill intentions can be allowed to escape.
Ye Qiu said seriously.
"As you command."
Chu Xiao's expression turned solemn, sensing that something big was about to happen.
...
Three days later, news that the grand conference on the new laws would be held in the Imperial Capital's Grand Square spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, causing a sensation and attracting worldwide attention.
In fact, the new law has sparked heated debate online since its introduction.
Most people feel that the new law is good and can effectively protect the vulnerable.
However, those powerful families and sects hired online trolls or used technical means to launch a massive attack on the new law, resulting in widespread opposition.
That's why the news that Ye Qiu is going to personally convene a grand meeting to discuss the new law has generated so much buzz.
...
Finally, after several days, the day of the grand event arrived.
On this day, the Imperial Capital Square was packed with people.
But those seemingly ordinary onlookers closest to the square were actually Kunlun soldiers.
"Yunxian Palace, Yunmo has arrived."
"Wang Hua has arrived at Chang Le Palace."
"At the Gate of Immortality, Qin Lie has arrived."
"The Nangong family of Jiangbei, Nangong Lihuo arrives."
...
At the scene, the person in charge of registration kept calling out the names of the attendees.
All attendees must sign in and leave their names.
Two hours later, the list of attendees had already filled dozens of pages, totaling over a thousand people.
These people came from all over the Great Xia Dynasty, from various sects and clans, and each of them was a prominent figure.
It is no exaggeration to say that this was a grand event, bringing together the world's elite.
By this time, most of the personnel had arrived, and there were over 100,000 people watching in various ways.
The number of people watching online is in the hundreds of millions.
This grand event was unprecedented and unparalleled.
"Why hasn't Emperor Wu arrived yet?"
"Under the blazing sun, so many people are waiting for Emperor Wu. Ha, it's really hard to wait."
"Wait a moment, Emperor Wu should be here soon."
"I feel uncomfortable all over, and I don't know why."
"Me too, I always feel like there's something off about the onlookers around us."
“You’re overthinking it,” Yunmo said. “These onlookers are all ordinary people. It’s understandable that they’re looking at us with hostility, since this event will determine their fate.”
“Fellow Daoist Yun is absolutely right. What do you think Emperor Wu will ultimately decide?” an old man asked.
Yunmo smiled and said, "I have met with Emperor Wu. I can sense his meaning to some extent. I think he will not oppose so many of our immortal sects and families for the sake of those lowly people."
"I bet even Emperor Wu wouldn't dare, haha."
"That's absolutely right."
"This event is just for show, so please don't take it too seriously."
"I also think it's just going through the motions, haha."
"Let's wait patiently."
Everyone was very confident, with bright smiles.
