The Phoenix Spirit Race also had a tradition of holding court assemblies.
The Phoenix Spirit Race had originated from the primordial human race, so its state structure and many other things had been modeled after Great Zhou.
It was only that the Phoenix Spirit Race had a smaller population and had made certain changes in some respects.
With fewer people, there were also fewer officials. Thus, there was no distinction between major and minor court assemblies; court was held once every five days.
Whenever court was held, any official who had reached the eighth rank could go to Phoenix Spirit Palace to attend.
The main reason was simply that the Phoenix Spirit Race had too small a population, and there were not many officials.
Within the Phoenix Spirit Realm, even including the vast number of slaves, the total population was only a little over ten million. There were not many officials to begin with, and even fewer lived within Phoenix City and were qualified to attend court.
Even counting them all, there were only a little over a thousand officials and nobles within Phoenix City qualified to attend court.
In the military, one gained the qualifications to attend court upon reaching the rank of Millennial Commander. Naturally, Ye Zhen, a temporary Millennial Commander, did not qualify.
Therefore, the officials attending court in the Phoenix Spirit Race were unlike those of Great Zhou, where only truly high-ranking officials were qualified to participate.
The Phoenix Spirit Race's court assemblies actually encompassed a very broad group. Officials such as Millennial Commanders and even minor city gate guards were qualified to attend.
The Phoenix Spirit Race's court assembly was set for when sunlight reached halfway up Phoenix Spirit Palace's mountain—in other words, near the end of the Hour of the Dragon.
