The empress reigned for ten years, and the Wutang Kingdom destroyed more than a dozen sects, the number is not much, but it is not small, after all, the current Changfeng Continent will not be destroyed, especially not by the state, the country generally needs to rely on the support of the sect.

But the empress doesn't take the usual path, if there is a sect that provokes the empress, especially when the empress threatens the empress with the people, the empress will directly kill the sect alone, and the grass and root out are very thorough.

The empress has always been accustomed to those sects that are not satisfied, either obey the empress's words, hello, hello, hello, everyone, if you are not obedient, then leave Wutang or be destroyed.

At first, some sects were not convinced, but they were destroyed, and later various sects also learned to be obedient, and they did not dare to blatantly resist the empress, but there were many sects that were uncomfortable in their hearts.

The empress's strength has covered up the crisis, and some sects in the Wutang and Tang dynasties have been waiting for an opportunity to overthrow the empress's rule, slowly looking for an opportunity.

In addition to the sect, there are also some people in the royal family who are also acting secretly, they are not convinced, thinking that the throne should have been in their line, and now that the empress is sitting on the throne, some people are not convinced.

After the empress ascended to the throne, she did not marry and had no children, which made some people nervous, and some people felt that they or their children might have a chance to compete for the throne. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, there is a lot of wind surging under it, and many people are making their own calculations.

Wu Mingliang is Wu Siyan's father, the originally ordinary Wu Mingliang family, after the empress ascended the throne, it became hot all of a sudden, Wu Mingliang, as Wu Mingyue's brother, is now also a general.

Wu Mingyue has five brothers and sisters, Wu Mingyue is the youngest, three older brothers, one sister, the eldest brother Wu Mingyao, the second brother Wu Mingshan, the third brother Wu Mingming, and the fourth sister Wu Mingli.

Wu Mingyue's parents are still alive, and her father, Wu Shisong, was originally a marginal figure in the royal family, and was named the king of Qingzhou County, with no power or power.

When Wu Mingyue sat on the throne, several of her older brothers and sisters had already married and had children, and the children of the eldest brother's family were all teenagers.

The Samurai Song family, who originally wanted to be a rich man, did not expect to ascend to the sky in one step, and the sons of the family are now regarded as real power figures in the court, although they do not control the most important positions, but Wu Mingyue did not treat his brothers and sisters badly, and gave them good official positions according to their talents.

At first, Wu Shisong felt that his daughter was on the throne, and he planned to shake his spirits and want to sit on the throne himself, but he was suppressed by Wu Mingyue.

Although Wu Mingyue treats her family well, she also knows the depth of her family, but appoints people on the basis of merit, even if she is her father, she is not used to it, for her father's unreasonable request, Wu Mingyue directly refused, and now Wu Shisong is still staying in his hometown.

Now that Wu Mingyue is not married, this makes her brothers a little excited, they feel that their sister has no heirs, so it may be themselves or their children who will inherit the throne in the future.

Now the empress is not very old, only thirty years old, and some people want to win the heart of the empress, and some outstanding disciples of the sect always try their best to come to the empress, hoping to get the empress's favor.

Wu Siyan is Wu Mingliang's daughter, and there is an elder brother Wu Huaping above, the two of them are compatriots, and Wu Siyan's mother is the main room.

In the past, Wu Siyan's family was happy, the family did not fight or rob, and it was very good, but now that the empress has ascended the throne, their identities have changed, and the family is no longer what it used to be, and it began to be filled with the atmosphere of officialdom.

Wu Siyan dislikes this atmosphere very much, she hates to fight for power, how she wants to be like before, but unfortunately everything can't go back to before, so Wu Siyan began to escape, in addition to escaping the nasty atmosphere, she is also deliberately avoiding to prevent herself from being involved, she always mentions in her mother's mouth that the child of an official's family intends to marry her own family.

In addition to the main room, Wu Mingliang also has several concubines, and now the tide is also rising, and his status has increased a lot, and his sister, who is older than Wu Siyan, has married into the family of a certain official in the court.

Ye Xu and his entourage said as they walked, and came to the gate of the inner city, there were no shops in the inner city, and all the officials and dignitaries living in the inner city were living in it, and there was an imperial city in the inner city.

Entering the inner city also needs to be checked, Wu Siyan took out a jade plate, and the soldiers defending the city respectfully sent Wu Siyan and the others into the city.

There were very few people in the inner city, and those officials would not wander around the streets with their own identities, Ye Xu and the others, under the leadership of Wu Siyan, came to a mansion.

Although he is Wu Mingyue's elder brother, Wu Mingliang was not crowned king, but only made him a general, with certain rights, and he also controlled some soldiers and horses in his hands.

The vermilion gate, the golden plaque, two tall stone lions stood in front of the mansion, and two soldiers stood at the door.

"Brother Ye, this is my home!" Wu Siyan said to Ye Xu.

"Oh, yes, the door is big!" Ye Xu said with a smile.

"Brother Ye, you can follow me into the mansion!" Wu Siyan began to invite Ye Xu and a few others.

"Forget it, we won't go in, Yu Ning, you can go in! After you go in, you have to see your elders, I'm a little unaccustomed, let Sister Wenjun follow you in, let's go out to find the best inn to live in, you look at the situation at home, if there is anything, you can let Sister Wenjun help deal with it. "Ye Xu really wants to deal with the people of the government, he sent Wu Siyan back before, he was afraid that Wu Siyan would be forced to make peace or something, but now with Xiang Wenjun, he should not be afraid, after all, Xiang Wenjun is a strong man who can break through to the Immortal Xuan Realm immediately.

"Then it's troublesome Sister Wenjun!" Now that Li Yuning and Xiang Wenjun are following, Wu Siyan is no longer worried.

"It doesn't matter." Xiang Wenjun doesn't care, they are all disciples of their own sect, and they should help.

"Sister Wenjun, Siyan will be handed over to you to take care of!" Ye Xu instructed Xiang Wenjun again.

Ye Xu and the others recognized Wu Siyan's door, and then turned around and walked out of the inner city, Condensation Yan and Ziying were not interested in the inner city, and now the two of them were still thinking about shopping, Taiping City was too big, and they hadn't gone around enough.

As soon as Ye Xu and the others left, the door of the General's Mansion opened, and a group of people walked out of it, led by a middle-aged woman, dressed in a brocade flower dress, graceful and luxurious, with a look of anticipation, followed by several maids, and two young women in gorgeous costumes.

"My Yeon'er! You're finally back and want to die! When the lady saw Wu Siyan, she immediately trotted to Wu Siyan, took Wu Siyan in her arms, and began to wipe her tears.

"Alright, mother! Don't cry, it won't be long! Wu Siyan said helplessly, her mother You Shi likes this more exaggerated behavior, more than three months, she went to school in Taiping Academy, and the longest one came back for half a year, and she didn't see her mother how.

"What a short time! It's been more than three months! But I want to die for my mother, you say that you are a little conscienceless, so you ran to the area over there, if there are three long and two short, let Wei Niang how to live! You began to cry again.

"Auntie, aren't they all back! Don't cry, how unlucky! Li Yuning spoke, she knew that if she didn't speak, her aunt would be able to perform this bitter drama for a day.

"Xiao Ning! Thanks to you for getting this dead girl back, let me see, have you lost weight? You Shi took Li Yuning in his arms again and looked at it.

"I've seen Aunt Wang and Aunt Xue!" Wu Siyan, who escaped from her mother's jaw, saluted the two ladies in fancy costumes.

"It's good to be back!" Aunt Wang Xue is Wu Mingming's side room, smiling and holding one of Wu Siyan's hands.

You Shi pulled Li Yuning, Wang Shi and Xue Shi pulled Wu Siyan, and the group entered the mansion.

Ye Xu and the others went out of the inner city and began to wander around, until it was getting dark, they were ready to find an inn to live in, and after inquiry, they came to Yingxian Tower, the largest inn in the outer city.

This inn has two buildings, the front is a restaurant, the back is an inn, called Yingxian Building, as soon as you hear the name, you know that there should always be monks staying here.

There is no curfew in the outer city of Taiping, but the city gates are closed, and now the lights are on, and the colorful lanterns begin to compete, and the pedestrians on the street at night have no goods with them, all of them travel lightly and enjoy themselves in the city.

There are foreign merchants on the street, there are also children in the city, and there are children in the inner city who don't want to go home, and the places where Taiping City eats, drinks and has fun are all in the outer city.

Now there are only three people left, Ye Xu Ziying and Condensation Yan, but Ziying and Condensation Yan still keep talking, although they have eaten a lot of snacks, Ziying still has great expectations for the big restaurant.

Yingxian Lou Restaurant is seven floors high, standing on the top of the seventh floor, you can have an unobstructed view of the surrounding environment, but the height of Yingxian Tower is still very inferior to the tall city wall.

Ziying led the way directly to the seventh floor, which is full of private rooms, each private room has a window facing the street, standing by the window and looking at the colorful lights all over the street, the crowd of people playing around, drinking wine and eating food, very comfortable and comfortable.

Yingxian Lou is brightly lit, a big lotus-shaped headlamp on the top of each floor, the headlamp exudes dazzling light, this is a unique lighting tool in the world of cultivating immortals, the fairy lamp, similar to the electric lamp, is a kind of magic weapon, many rich and noble people use this kind of fairy lamp, and there is also a small fairy lamp in the private room.

The furnishings in the private room are also heroic, with good solid wood tables and chairs, and various decorations, which look luxurious at a glance.

Ye Xu and the three of them began to order, and when they saw the menu, Ye Xu knew why it looked so luxurious here, these dishes were actually settled with spirit coins, and many dishes were cooked with elixir.

Ye Xu is not bad for money, the three of them ordered a table of dishes, it was the first time he had eaten these dishes, and he wanted to try these dishes that he could only see in novels before.

As the dishes were served, Ye Xu finally knew the taste of these dishes, which were indeed delicious and worthy of the price of these dishes.

"I heard that Taiping Academy is going to have a big exam this year, and those who pass the exam will be received by Her Majesty the Empress!" Someone in the private room next to him chatted and said.
