The style within Shenwu Hall remained unchanged.
Black stone formed the foundation, red pillars rose around it, and there was not a trace of gold ornamentation.
It was neither luxurious nor elegant, yet it possessed a solemnity that brought peace to one's heart.
Xiao Tianyang's throne was carved from obsidian.
There were no totems upon it, only a peculiar ancient pattern.
As for the officials below the steps, they wore no gaudy decorations either.
Their official robes and jade crowns were standardized, while a seal represented their rank.
Of course, female officials' robes differed somewhat from those of male officials.
The difference lay in the details of their clothing, as well as the jade crowns being replaced by hairpins.
Furthermore, the Tianwu Dynasty had no kneeling rites. Kneeling on one knee without letting it touch the ground was the highest form of etiquette.
Xiao Tianyang had personally stipulated that rule.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The Military Officials Group was now led by Yue Fei. As there was no prime minister in the Civil Official Group, Fei Yan temporarily acted as its leader.
The moment Xiao Tianyang walked toward the throne, he waved at them.
No words were needed. The gesture explained everything.
"The Tianwu Dynasty has only recently been established, and everyone is busy, so I'll keep this brief."
Leaning forward, Xiao Tianyang rested his right hand on his knee and said, "I intend to unify Douluo Continent."
"Do any of you have good ideas?"
In truth, Yue Shen had already passed his words down beforehand.
Otherwise, what good ideas could they come up with on the spot?
Pooling wisdom was certainly a good method, but intelligent people still needed sufficient time to think.
Yue Fei stepped forward on his own initiative. "Your Majesty, if possible, this general recommends peace negotiations."
