Chapter 34: Dongjun

According to Starember, she has undergone great changes, and her excessive use of her Origin Talent has caused her soul to be severely damaged, and even people are stupid, and she only has the memory of one day.

After two years of confusion, it was not easy for the master to cure Tian Chong and Linghuiluo, who were in charge of thought and wisdom, but Liluo did not fully recover, and it stands to reason that she would be in this weak state for the rest of her life, but if she became a source master, she could make up for the lack of soul through acquired practice.

Xi Huanyan sat on the horse and read the book for a while, and soon yawned sleepily, emptiness is really emptiness, awake for a long time, tired for a long time.

Ember jumped on her horse and took her in her arms, she had become accustomed to Ember's behavior over the past few days.

When she is awake, Starember will lead the horse slowly, talk to her, look at the scenery along the road, when she is sleepy, Starember will ride the horse and hurry, she is protected by Starember but does not feel the bumps at all.

The farther west she went, the more the sun grew, the hotter the weather became, and she slept longer and longer, as if she had lost her strength.

When she woke up one day, Ma had already entered a mountain city, and Starember told her that she had entered the territory of the same state of the Heavenly Fire Dao, and after another twenty miles, she would see the new capital of the same state.

Xi Huanyan looked at the scene along the way, all of them were adobe buildings, with light blue or light red mud on the outside, the streets were very narrow, there were few pedestrians, and there was a sense of fatigue and laziness, and even the shouts of the peddlers' pawns were perfunctory.

The people here are also poorly dressed, and most of them are bare-armed, bare-legged, with wheat-colored skin exposed.

Starember stopped in front of a shop called Babaolou and said to Xi Huanyan, "You wait for me here, I'll go buy something inside." ”

Xi Huanyan nodded, looking very well-behaved.

She was in a daze, a little bit of a slumber of sleep, and woke herself up.

The mud-brick buildings in the same state are very short, and the people in the same state are also very lazy, and the pedestrians on the roads are sparse and sparse, and there is nothing outstanding about it.

She looked at it, infected by the lazy atmosphere, and nodded her head one by one.

"Sleep when you get to where you stay. ”

Xi Huanyan looked at the source of the sound, and the star embers had already come out, holding a big bag of things in his hand.

She took the reins and said, "Tongzhou is the only place in the Heavenly Fire Dao that has not been touched by the Western Regions Combined Army, and it is quite safe. ”

"Is it because it's close to the interior?"

"No, it's vast and has few people, and the supplies are poor, so it can't be looked down on over there for the time being. ”

“......”

"But with the fall of other states in the Heavenly Fire Dao, sooner or later it will be lined up. ”

Xi Huanyan said suspiciously, "You said you were going to take me to a safe place." ”

Starember didn't care, very atmospheric, "Where I am, it will be very stable." ”

...... Xing Horn is worthy of being the daughter of the founding emperor.

Immediately after that, Starember said something that made people choke, "The main thing is that this is my fiefdom. ”

She took it by the way to popularize the sub-feudal system of the Ronghua Empire to Xi Huanyan.

The Ronghua Empire has the title of Marquis Bo, who bestows meritorious heroes and high-star source divisions, on behalf of the emperor to sit on one side, and the uncle rules a town, and can raise 500 private soldiers to lead a division, and Hou rules a county, and can recruit 1,000 private soldiers to lead two divisions.

There are nearly 10,000 people in the first division, and three divisions form an army.

The duke has the greatest power, rules a state, is qualified to build a capital, is equivalent to the lord of a country, in addition to recruiting 5,000 private soldiers, but also under the authorization of the emperor, can form three armies, and hold the power of conquest.

The source of the title is based on personal strength, ability, and contribution, so it cannot be inherited, and at the end of one generation, the empire will take back the fief, but it will give its direct relatives a fortune to support him until he is old.

"In addition, the empire's division of provinces, states, counties, and towns is based on the size of the land and the size of the population, and if it exceeds the comprehensive upper limit, it will be upgraded, and if it is lower than the comprehensive lower limit, it will be downgraded.

At present, Tongzhou has jurisdiction over 14 counties, and there are 5 to 7 towns under each county, a total of 84 cities and towns, with a land area of 160 million hectares, which is equivalent to the size of two ordinary prefectures, but the population is only more than 5 million, which is only 10% of the average prefecture. ”

Starember said this, there was confidence between his eyebrows, "But this is all temporary, I will give up other counties and towns, build a new capital, gather most of the human races in the same state, and seek development first." ”

Why is this place, it's kind of in the middle of it, isn't it?

Xi Huanyan felt that it was a bit unlucky for Starember to be assigned to such a state, but looking at Starember who had no dissatisfaction, maybe this was the luck of the same state.

Out of the small mountain city, the weather seems to be refreshing, showing a vast grassland in front of you, the star embers say that this is called the meteor grassland, every year Zhu Ming stands here and looks up at the sky, you can see the meteor crossing, and the more you go west, the more abundant the grassland, when you see the herds of cattle, sheep and horses, there is a high mountain standing in the distance, and the top is snow-capped.

Ember said, "In the trajectory of the sun's setting, there is exactly a point that coincides with the top of the mountain, and at that time the sun is like being held on the top of the mountain, and the entire top of the mountain will be dyed red, so it is called Hongding Mountain, and over Hongding Mountain, it is Hakushu." ”

She pointed to the south, "We're going in this direction, and we'll see the first level later." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a huge black stone gatehouse to appear on the vast grassland, engraved with "a heavy pass".

The horse walked slowly through the doorway and continued to walk forward, Xi Huanyan turned his head and looked at the black behemoth again, it was like a door open in the hole between heaven and earth, not afraid of anyone's prying eyes.

"Is there no one to guard here?"

"Let them come. ”

After three miles, the grassland transitions to the oasis mountain forest, the tall vegetation gradually increases, a city appears in the distance, the black city wall seems to stretch endlessly, and the central city tower hangs a plaque engraved with "double pass".

At the gate of the city, the soldiers wearing black iron armor stood with spears, and the sun shone on the tip of the spear, and there was no warmth at all, and the forest was unusually cold.

The soldiers guarding the city saw the two of them on their faces in disbelief, and there was a great surprise in this disbelief, and the city and the city knelt down on one knee in unison, and the sound was loud and loud, and the sound was loud and loud -

"Welcome back to the capital!"

Xi Huanyan looked up at the star ember behind her, she looked down and glanced at her, and when she looked up again, there was a hint of wildness in her cold expression, "This is the daughter of the star ember, from now on, she is Zhu Mingdongjun of the same state!"

There are four hours in the sky, and the order of the four hours - Qingyang, Zhu Ming, Baizang, Xuanying, Ronghua uses the four times to symbolize the inheritors of emperors, dukes, marquises, and earls.

Although the title cannot be inherited, those who occupy the title are generally high-star source masters who are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the inheritors they receive should be superior in talent and strength, so in order to envelop these inheritors, Ronghua will crown them as Dongjun.

Dong means the first inheritor of the prince, Jun, which means the status and glory officially recognized by the empire, and the east monarch does not need to bear the responsibility of the empire, but can enjoy the imperial fortune.

In addition, there is a customary rule in the imperial human race, if the Eastern Monarch can accumulate enough strength and merit before the death of the Prince, then the Eastern Monarch will most likely be sealed in the same place and indirectly inherit the power of the predecessor.

To a certain extent, this is also the appeasement and compromise of the empire to the princes.

Starember didn't care what kind of earth-shattering words she left behind, even though she was the first duke in the history of the empire to establish himself as the king of the East shortly after his accession to the throne.

She was only sixty-nine years old, she was in her youth, and she was the youngest Seven Star Source Master in the Eastern Regions, and even in the modern era of Split Star!

Life can be 700 years or more!

But her soldiers would not question her orders, and as soon as the words fell, the earth-shattering voice sounded again, "Meet Dongjun!"

Xi Huanyan was stunned, his heart was as calm as water, and he even had time to deduce from Starember's words that Starember might not have disclosed his existence before.

So is she living with her father?

The serious injury is also related to the father's side?

With a touch of warmth above her head, she heard Starember say, "You don't have to be stressed, you deserve the best." ”

Xi Huanyan calmly straightened her frizzy hair, "I don't necessarily deserve the best, but I will be qualified to pick all the good." ”

Starember's chest trembled, and she laughed loudly, and rode into the city gates.
