59. Chapter 59

Come to think of it, if you become a king, you will have to deal with a lot of political affairs, and the time you spend on cultivation will be greatly reduced. Moreover, even if you are not a king, as long as you have that strength, any king, nobleman or something like that will obediently take the initiative to hand over a large amount of wealth!

And it's not a dream, it's a fact!

Because a true samurai pursues the pinnacle of martial arts, not the so-called secular power! Moreover, after his own cultivation reaches the level of a martial king, the binding force of imperial power on people is almost zero.

To put it mildly, the so-called king is just a puppet in the hands of some people, and the so-called kingdom is, for some, just a tool for them to accumulate wealth!

Take the Green Forest Kingdom as an example, the reason why the Sikong family can sit on the throne for so long is because there are some forces behind it to protect it. And in this regard, the price paid by Sikong is sixty percent of the annual income of the national treasury!

And the reason why Sikong Hao attacked the Red Leaf Kingdom was to expand the territory of the Green Forest Kingdom and increase the treasury revenue! In addition, Sikong Hao also had an ambition, that is, to develop the Green Forest Kingdom into an empire!

In the Cloud Sky Continent, the kingdom is just the smallest state unit, and above the kingdom, there are also principalities and empires!

Under the name of a principality, there are about fifty kingdom-sized subordinate cities, and the empire has at least a hundred kingdom-level subordinate cities! And only the empire has the capital to sit on an equal footing with the top martial arts forces and have the right to speak on an equal footing!

It can be said that the kingdoms and principalities below the empire are completely dependent on the martial arts forces and exist!

And the force that the Red Leaf Kingdom has relied on for many years is the Beigong family! It can be said that as long as the Beigong family does not fall, the Red Leaf Kingdom will always exist!

But now, the king's first smile is obviously that he doesn't want to be attached to the Beigong family anymore. The repeated defeats with the Green Forest Kingdom made First Smile lose his trust and awe to the Beigong family!

......

"The seventh prince is frail and sickly, and he is not suitable to be a king, and the other princes have mediocre qualifications, let's just pick a cowardly character to sit on the throne!"

"That's right, just listen to Xue'er! Why don't you choose the fifth prince, doesn't he like Lan'er?

The others nodded their heads, thinking it was wonderful.

"I'll go back and rest first if there's nothing to do!Big brother, come with me!" Beigong Xue looked at Beigong Lingzhi, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Beigong Lingzhi could have gotten up a long time ago, but he was afraid that the clan elders would accuse him of not knowing the etiquette and being angry at Beigong Xue, so he kept kneeling.

But he never thought that Beigong Xue's status in the Beigong family was already equivalent to that of the head of the family!

Standing up, Beigong Ling Zhi straightened his back and walked to Beigong Xue's side, his face full of pride.

He was proud to have such a sister!

The next day, the king had a sudden illness, and the news of passing the throne to the fifth prince before his death came out. At this time, the crown prince Yijing was still fighting against the Green Forest Kingdom on the front line!

Beigong Lian came to Beigong Aotian angrily, originally, she would be the queen of the Red Leaf Kingdom, but the crown prince was deposed, and she became a princess. The status of the princess is more than one grade worse than that of the queen.

"Father, what's going on?Why is it that the fifth prince who has ascended to the throne?!" Beigong Lian was very angry.

When she thought of Beigong Lan's slut in front of her today, she couldn't wait to tear her face!
