Chapter 35: Gentleness
Izumo Empire, Izumo Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Izumo Prefecture, in the name of the prefecture, is actually the center of power of the entire Izumo Empire, which is also known as the national capital.
The Izumo Empire is located in the southeast of Genrasu, a continent of three continents, thousands of miles away from east to west, but only a thousand miles from north to south, and the territory is long and narrow. In order to facilitate the rule, the royal family adopted the system of dividing the huge territory into nine counties and nine prefectures.
The county is governed by moderation, and the government is controlled by the royal family to play a balancing role. Of course, the royal family here, except for the Izumo Mansion, most of the other eight prefectures are princes from the royal family.
As for the Son of Heaven, he naturally sat in the capital Izumo Mansion in person.
As the capital of a country, the area of Izumo Prefecture is not as large as that of a county, but it is far larger than the other eight prefectures. And in terms of population and economy, it far exceeds the nine counties and eight prefectures.
Izumo Mansion doesn't have a city wall, which seems like a strange setting, but if you think about it, you can be relieved. If the Izumo Prefecture, which is located in the center of the empire, is under the city with soldiers, then there are no walls or not, and what difference does it make?
Although there are no city walls, the armament of Izumo Prefecture is not to be underestimated, gathering almost half of the country's troops, plus the large and small gate valve sects that exist in the national capital, unless there is a national war, otherwise, it will be difficult to be breached.
On this day, in a huge mansion in the Xicheng District of Izumo Prefecture, Shi Shiran walked out of a man and a woman.
The man was dressed in scholarly green clothes, and with a delicate and bookish face, he was easily recognized as a student of Hongwen Academy. And the woman next to her, dressed in a white pleated long skirt, has a graceful posture and elegant temperament, although she wears a veil, it is not difficult to believe that she is definitely a rare beauty.
"Butterfly-clothed girl, it seems that you are not here for the first time." Men and women walked side by side, as it was just getting light and there weren't too many pedestrians on the streets.
There are many rules in Izumo Prefecture, and not only is there a curfew in the evening, but there are also clear rules for getting up in the morning to go out or opening shops. This kind of regulation may be just a piece of waste paper for the powerful, but it is a red line that cannot be stepped on to ordinary people or people without deep backgrounds.
The men and women on this road are naturally white and butterfly clothes.
In order to bring down some of the old immortals in the Wanhuayuan Worship Hall, the two of them took great pains, not only in Liuzhou, which was about to be used as a battlefield, but even the Sword Prison Villa and Wanhuayuan were also carefully arranged.
And now, there is still one last link left, and that is the Izumo Imperial Family.
"I still can't believe it. The Izumo Imperial Family, why did they suddenly become puppets of the Sword Hell Villa and Wanhuaen? And just by virtue of a woman? Although there are not many people on the street, after all, the wall has ears, and if it is heard by someone who cares, it will add a lot of trouble.
"What's so unexpected about this, to borrow a sentence from Ning Xiaoning, men conquer the world, while women only need to conquer men. The saints all say that it is also sexual. The king of the Izumo Empire is also a human being, and he calls himself a hero, and if he is a hero, he will be sad to pass the beauty pass. Dieyi also replied with a secret voice, and the words were relaxed, but they really worked, and it was obviously not something that could be said clearly in one or two sentences.
"I really don't have time to explain the details to you right now. You just need to know that it's all the merit of the flowers. Gathering the resources of Sword Prison Villa and Wanhuayuan, he spent a lot of money to cultivate a stunning fox, and then created an opportunity to meet by chance, so that the king who likes to pay private visits to micro-services has a good time returning to the scene of heroes saving beauty. Heroes and beauties, concubines, naturally come to fruition. When the fox entered the palace, with his own means and some medicines, he slowly created a merry king who wanted beauties and didn't want the country. From the beginning of the plan to the final success, it only took ten years. ”
Dieyi's simple explanation made Zhanbai feel cold.
Although the Izumo Empire's imperial family is not a powerful force, it is definitely among the best in the Izumo Empire at least in the three continents. But who would have thought that it would be defeated at the hands of a woman.
This is the reality of disaster for the country and the people.
Zhanbai couldn't help but think of Yin'er, and couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart, but he wanted to see this daughter who was at the helm of the Izumo Empire's royal family, what kind of elegance it was.
The two of them walked through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the imperial city.
Izumo Prefecture is very large, and it is precisely because it is so big, like the metropolis of the previous life, there are settings like the first ring and the second ring, which are the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city. One ring after another, from the outside to the inside, is also a symbol of status.
The outer city is the most dilapidated, mainly inhabited by civilians and low-level people with no power background. The inner city is the sphere of influence of the powerful sect lords and even sect gangs. As for the innermost imperial city, it is naturally the territory dominated by the kings of the Izumo Empire.
The vermilion city wall is tall, with corner towers every mile, guarded by the Praetorian Guard.
Zhanbai's cultivation has reached the cultivation of the Nine-Rank Taixuan Realm, and Dieyi also has the Seven-Rank Taixuan Realm, whether it is cultivation or combat power, it is enough to walk sideways in the entire three continents, and it is only a city wall, which is naturally difficult for the two of them.
However, the two did not jump over the wall, but walked leisurely towards the back door under the leadership of Dieyi.
At this time, there were two eunuchs in green robes at the back door, holding floating dust in their hands and waiting for something with low eyebrows.
Seeing Zhan Bai and the two coming, the two eunuchs' eyes lit up and they hurriedly greeted them.
"I don't know if the two of you are the guests of the noble concubine?" One of the eunuchs, who was a little older, asked with a flattering face.
Dieyi didn't speak, but just showed a jade plaque to the two eunuchs.
"Two nobles, please come with the miscellaneous family, the concubine has been waiting for a long time." Seeing the jade plate, the middle-aged eunuch's expression became more and more respectful, he bowed and turned around, and after making a gesture of invitation, he immediately took the lead and walked in through the back door.
The imperial city is very large, and the layout inside is also quite exquisite, and the magnificent palaces form a group, showing the royal style.
In order to hide people's eyes, the eunuch specially prepared a carriage. After all, the Imperial City is a royal land, and ordinary people can enter it at will.
Zhanbai and Dieyi sat in the carriage, and the two eunuchs sat on the wheels, galloping all the way, and there were no less than a dozen teams of forbidden troops on patrol alone, so it was not difficult to see the strictness of the guards inside.
Fortunately, these two carriages were equipped with Fengluan honor guards, and no one dared to stop the search.
In this way, the carriage galloped for half an hour before entering the harem, and finally stopped in front of a fragrant garden.
"Pixia Palace" is the concubine's bedroom.
As the king of the Izumo Empire, although there may not be 3,000 beauties in the harem, there will be no less than 100 people, plus the palace maids who serve are too many to guard and guard, I am afraid that there will be no less than 10,000 people.
With so many people, it is natural that there must be strict rules to control them. So don't underestimate this harem, the hierarchy in it is strict, no less than the court.
As a result, the king's concubines also had ranks. From high to low, they are queens, concubines, concubines, concubines, Zhaoyi, Xiuyuan, etc., which are fully divided into ten grades.
Generally speaking, the queen rules the harem and the mother is the world. It's just that, as the king's early wife, she is often prematurely old and decrepit. Therefore, when leading the harem, it is inevitable to be timid, once you provoke the concubine who is in full bloom, not only will you not get benefits, but you will also be deposed or even sent to the cold palace.
In this way, on the contrary, the rights of the second-in-command concubine are much greater.
Generally speaking, the concubines are promoted by the most favored concubines, and the saints are strong, and when they act, they will naturally be willful, even if they do something wrong, the king generally just laughs it off, but pursues it.
From the current position of the fox in the consequences, it is not difficult to see how favored she is, otherwise, who would dare to bring someone into the harem without permission?
As the king's backyard, you need to know that even if you are an adult prince, you can't enter it without a will, so as not to **** the harem.
……
Finally, in a gorgeous hall, Zhanbai saw the expected fox girl.
After retiring from the palace maid and eunuch, I saw a graceful and luxurious concubine dressed in gorgeous clothes, but she walked in front of Dieyi and Zhanbai very respectfully, knelt down slowly, and bowed.
"The disciple gently greets the sect master and the nine girls."
"Have you seen me?" Zhan Bai looked down at the gentleness, she was really as good as her name, a gentle woman with a blue heart, although her appearance was still slightly inferior to that of Dieyi, but her weak and quiet temperament was very easy to arouse men's desire to protect.
"Giggles. Back then, I used gentleness, but with the consent of your demon clone, I naturally saw you. Dieyi on the side explained.
"Hmm." Zhan Bai nodded, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, the time when he was a puppet in his demon body did make him miss too many things.
"Hehe, gentleness, are you from Sword Prison Mountain Villa or Wanhuayuan?" Zhan Bai asked.
Hua Manlou nominally belonged to Sword Prison Villa, but Zhan Bai knew that in fact, a large part of the women inside were from Wanhuayuan.
"Sect Master, the disciple was originally born in the Wanhuayuan Dressing Pavilion, and because his qualifications are not high, he does not have much achievements in Xuan Xiu. Thanks to the nine girls, they transferred their disciples to Huamenlou and spent a lot of resources to cultivate them, so that they have today's scenery. Gently replied.
"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Dieyi is not only the first seat of the Tulip Pavilion now, but also the sect master of Wanhuayuan, so remember to change your words in the future." Zhan Bai couldn't help but tease.
"The disciple knows his mistakes, and he hopes that the Butterfly Yi Sect Master will forgive his sins." This gentleness gave birth to a seven-pronged exquisite heart, and in front of Zhanbai, he was very thoughtful about the name of Dieyi, so as to distinguish it from himself.
As mentioned earlier, Hua Manlou nominally belongs to Sword Prison Villa, not Wanhuayuan.
"Yes, you're good. Time is urgent, and I ask you, how much control do you have over that king at present? Zhan Bai didn't dwell on it anymore, but went straight to the point.
"Sect Master, the disciple has fulfilled his mission, and now that waste has reached the point of obeying the disciple." Gentleness is not without confidence.
"Very good, but you still have to pay attention to proportion, although this Izumo Empire is headed by the king, and because of this, it must have concentrated the attention of countless people, and if there is a slight flaw, it is very likely to set yourself on fire and endanger your own safety." Zhan Bai said worriedly.
"Sect Master, rest assured. The disciple knows the measure, so he only uses enchantment and a little medicine to control the waste, and he does not lose his mind, and it is difficult for outsiders to see the flaws. And for so many years, the disciples have never been involved in politics, so there is no need for those courtiers and magnates. The gentle words made Zhanbai completely relieved.
"In this matter, you have made a great contribution to the sect, let's say, what reward do you want." Whether it is clear rewards and punishments, or gentle loyalty, Zhanbai needs to show something now.
"Disciples don't dare to ......"
"Can't refuse." Zhan Bai pretended to be stern.
The gentle expression changed slightly, and after muttering for a while, he mustered up great courage to speak: "In order to consolidate his position and to block the mouth of Youyou, the disciple had no choice but to have a son with that waste, nicknamed Guo'er. Now I am seven years old and have just laid the foundation. Among the many princes, he ranked twenty-four. Although the disciples are favored, whether they are powerful or courtiers, they are more optimistic about the crown prince. Inheriting the unification of the Izumo Empire, the disciples still can't look down on it, so they beg the sect master to take the fruit into his knees. ”
This request of gentleness is undoubtedly excessive.
Don't look at Wen Rou, as the concubine of the Izumo Empire, her status is unspeakably expensive, but she knows that in front of the two people in front of her, she is really nothing. And as a disciple of Hua Manlou, her request is undoubtedly a bit excessive.
It's just that the heart was full of apprehension, and in the end, he couldn't suppress the motherly love of Jackie Chan.
The so-called opportunity must not be lost and never come again, since Zhanbai has spoken, if Gentle does not bring it up again, she believes that she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
"Fruit? Does he have a big name? Zhan Bai's forehead wrinkled slightly, making Wen Wen's heart even more uneasy.
"Yes, however, the disciple would prefer the sect master to rename him." Gently replied.
"Well, since I just said everything, if I don't agree, I'll be beating myself up. In that case, when we leave Izumo, we will take him away. Use this time to prepare. Zhanbai finally nodded in agreement.
"Hey, I'll talk about you two, shouldn't we get down to business?" Dieyi on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted the two of them.
