Chapter 31: The Imperial City
Phoenix City is the imperial city of Fengyan Kingdom, it is rumored that in ancient times, there was a phoenix reborn in Nirvana, so it was named Phoenix City, and the territory under the jurisdiction of Phoenix City is next to another empire, the Great Yan Dynasty, which is the **** Shangbang that rules most of the territory of the Tianyuan Continent, and Fengyan Country is not one of the vassal countries.
Emperor Yan Jiuyang of Fengyan Kingdom has a certain idea of rooting the imperial city here, and such an idea can only be guessed by those princes and ministers, and ordinary ordinary people don't care about this.
As an imperial city, Phoenix is connected to the transportation arteries to reach various counties, which can be described as extending in all directions and is extremely prosperous
Looking from afar, the whole imperial city is filled with a phoenix atmosphere, like a phoenix, it will spread its wings and fly high at any time, and watch the ancient, magnificent, atmospheric, the towering city wall is full of a hundred zhang high, inserting the clouds, which makes people have a feeling of daunting.
Xiao Yuan asked the people of the Southern Barbarian Clan and the Saddle Clan to change into their usual clothes, because their Gundam body was too obvious, so they could only let them enter the city in batches.
Not long after everyone entered the city, a guard with a knife came to the place where Xiao Yuan and the others stayed: "May I ask if it is Xiao Yuan's son?"
Originally, Xiao Yuan was still puzzled, as soon as he landed, someone came to him, and then he was relieved after thinking about it, Yan Xigui must have a lot of eyeliner in the imperial city for the princess, although he entered the city in batches of the people of the Southern Barbarian Clan, but Yan Xi knew that he would come to the imperial city in the next two days, and he would definitely send more people to keep an eye on the entrance to the city
The person who came was indeed Princess Yanxi's guard, and saluted Xiao Yuan: "Princess Yanxi is invited!"
It's just that the appearance of the salute didn't have a half-respectful look, and there was even disdain in his eyes, thinking that he saw Xiao Yuan so thin and weak, and he didn't have any spiritual power, so he had such an idea, and for a while he couldn't understand why Princess Yanxi would receive such a person!
Seeing the guard's expression, Xiao Yuan was not angry, strode forward, and threw a punch without warning, directly knocking the frightened guard back a few feet, and the tiger's mouth cracked, and his arms were numb.
The guard's face was full of disbelief, but the fact pulled him back from shock, and then half knelt down: "Damn it, I don't know that the adult is so powerful!
The guards believed that Xiao Yuan before just threw a punch at random, and if he used all his strength, he was afraid that his life would be gone.
And at this time, Pan Huang and others in the house also came out
After seeing the sturdy bodies of Pan Huang and the others again and perceiving the terrifying power contained in the muscles, the guard's entire body trembled involuntarily
Led by the guards, Xiao Yuan and a few people walked towards the west of the city to see Princess Yanxi, Xiao Yuan did not bring many people, only stayed in Panhuang and Yuelan, and brought more people but was conspicuous.
After walking for half an hour, I came to a magnificent mansion, "Tiance Mansion"
What a domineering name, seeing the three words on the plaque, Xiao Yuan admired it, but he didn't expect that the domineering in Yanxi's heart was not inferior to a man at all, just looking at the name of this mansion, he knew how ambitious she was in her heart.
As soon as you enter the mansion, the bead curtain jasper, the green water rockery, the small bridge and the river with the pavilion, and even the vermilion and blue tiles, the glaze is the wall! This is not at all luxurious can be described, it is simply a mountain of gold, and the construction of this mansion alone may cost tens of millions of taels of gold.
And at this moment, Yan Xi, who was dressed in a thin green shirt, was standing in front of the door of the main hall, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing such a scene, even if he knew that Yan Xi just wanted to buy himself, Xiao Yuan also felt that this Yan Xi was indeed extraordinary, as a princess of the past, she could actually put down her body like this, just this behavior made Xiao Yuan feel good.
As soon as I heard that you were here today, I immediately sent someone to contact you, and prepared a sumptuous dinner party to catch the wind and wash the dust for you!" Seeing Xiao Yuan from a distance, Yan Xi smiled prettyly, and strode forward to greet you.
"You're welcome, princess!" Xiao Yuan just said lightly, and didn't say too many polite words.
"Where is Xiao Gongzi? Now that you and I are cooperating, Yan Xi has to express his sincerity, right? Now there are many eyeliners of several brothers in the city, so Yan Xi is ready to give this Tiance Mansion to Xiao Gongzi. ”
Tiance Mansion has a radius of 300 zhang, it is very easy to accommodate Xiao Yuan's hundreds of people, Xiao Yuan also knows the meaning of Yanxi, it is good that the people of the Southern Barbarian Clan and the Saddle Clan can have such a hiding place!
"Thank you, princess, over there!" Xiao Yuan saluted.
Yan Xi waved his hand lightly, without the slightest shelf, nor the slightest shyness as a woman, he directly took Xiao Yuan's hand and walked into the main hall, sitting on the table where he had already prepared sumptuous wine and food.
After pouring Xiao Yuan a glass of wine, he said again: "There are 10 million taels of gold in the treasury of Tiance Mansion for Xiao Gongzi to arrange, if it is not enough, Xiao Gongzi will speak!"
Yan Xi knew that if Xiao Yuan wanted to plan to cooperate with her, he would definitely have a lot of expenses, so he prepared his belongings early.
Rao is Xiao Yuan brought back a lot of gems and other things from the Southern Barbarian Clan, and he was also choked by this number, not to mention how much this Tiance Mansion is worth, just this 10 million taels of gold can almost buy most of the imperial city, this Princess Yanxi is really rich and rivals the country
Seeing that Xiao Yuan was choked, Yan Xi smiled lightly, and then told the current form in the imperial city.
A few months ago, Emperor Yan Jiuyang eradicated the three major forces, and the prestige of the imperial family rose to an unprecedented height, although he lost a lot of troops in this strangulation of the three major forces, but he was truly unified, and the world was originally made of white bones, and a little soldier died was nothing to Feng Yanguo.
Although the Fengyan Kingdom is unified, but the Chaogang is scattered, perhaps due to the pressure of the three major forces before, Yan Jiuyang has no way to clean up the Chaogang, but now that the three major forces have been destroyed, the next step is to rectify the Chaogang and expel some useless people from the court.
However, Yan Jiuyang knows that the clean-up must be done slowly, and it can't be served in one pot, otherwise the world will be in chaos, because these officials are all relying on their own relationships and sitting in some positions, and they have no real ability at all, and the officials and officials defend each other, if they are investigated and dealt with at one time, it will cause dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials, and if there is any rebellion, it will outweigh the losses.
And right now, it is the time when Yan Jiuyang is planning this big event, but the civil and military officials below have already received the news and are sincerely afraid, for fear that it will harm them, because they all clearly know whether they are the material and how they got their positions.
Therefore, these officials, big and small, began to frantically give gifts to those real princes and ministers, royal relatives and relatives, and win over relationships in order to keep their positions
Although these officials are extremely worried, those who have real skills but are covered up and suppressed, see hope, and praise Yan Jiuyang as a Ming Jun and a good emperor.
Yan Jiuyang can be said to have won the hearts of the people for a while, this is simply a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only suppressing those corrupt officials and incompetents, but also winning the hearts of the people, and even being able to tap out real useful talents.
Among these useful talents, there are literary talents who read poetry and books, martial artists who practice martial arts, and even puppeteers, soul masters, illusionists, etc
And although several princes seem to be united to suppress Yanxi on the surface, they are all on their own embankments, and there is no real alliance at all, and they are each pulling in the useful talents of the Quartet in this undercurrent
Of course, this also includes Princess Yanxi.
