{A book friend has a birthday today, so I would like to extend my congratulations! There is a birthday celebration event at YY38072 at 8 o'clock, everyone has time to support it! By the way, please collect it}
Yang Zhan proposed to proclaim himself king and ennoble wealthy nobles of all sizes as princes. Naturally, this was not acceptable to the wealthy families.
Because their status is certain, these wealthy nobles accept the canonization, which means they are willing to accept the Yang family as their masters. They will find it difficult to resist if they are snatched away by life and death in the future.
This is equivalent to being a minister.
A small court.
At least first, the troops of the major wealthy families will be unified and controlled by the Yang family. Second, the taxes, grain, weapons, and elixirs of all the wealthy families will be accepted by the court, and the court will send officials to manage various places.
In the past, each of the major wealthy families had their own territory, and they could do whatever they wanted on their territory. What does it mean to be an emperor of one side, and now he suddenly needs to be controlled by the court
The Holy Ancestor Dynasty was just a shelf, and now it has declined. Thousands of city lords and aristocratic families on the Fertile Continent manage their own places. Some cities have already established states and appointed officials.
Now, it is finally the turn of the Yang family in Yandu City to carry out this important event.
In the past, the Yan family had long wanted to carry out such a great undertaking, but they were driven away by the Yang family. They took over the Yang family in the capital of Yan, established a court, and appointed hundreds of civil and military officials. It was inevitable that the wealthy families would surrender.
If you don't do this, then the entire Yandu City, which is thousands of miles in radius, will have no meaning. Government orders are not unified, the major wealthy families still have real power, and there is no point in being a city lord.
When other forces come to attack, it is still a mess, and the major wealthy families will even hold back.
If a court is established, these wealthy families are transformed into civil and military officials, laws and regulations are established, everything is controlled by the court, and the soldiers and horses are unified, it will immediately be different. The entire "Yan Kingdom" with a radius of thousands of miles around the capital of Yan will immediately explode. Ten times the power.
However, there were many obstacles to establishing the imperial court.
All the wealthy families are firmly opposed.
Yang Zhan saw that as soon as his remarks were made, he was met with fierce opposition from many family heads, and he sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that this matter was not easy. If Yan Gufeng, the lord of Yandu City, had done this, he must have been part of the opposition. .
"City Lord Yang, we serve you as the city lord with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. However, you established the imperial court and wanted to turn the entire thousands of miles of Yandu City into the private land of the Yang family. Do you want to kill us all? We are determined not to Agreed, this is the bottom line. Our wealthy families can attack you every year for all kinds of treasures, but it is absolutely impossible to surrender to you and control all the power of life and death in your hands." A family head shouted excitedly.
"Yes, City Lord Yang, although your son is a student of Tianwei Academy, there is also the power of Bailongmen behind our Bai family. Don't bully others too much. Otherwise, the Yang family may not be able to please him."
"Yes, if we really want to establish a court, we will be enemies of all our wealthy families. Even if the Yang family becomes the city lord now, they may not be able to sit down."
"Hmph! The Yan family was planning to do this at first, but our wealthy families did not take action. We watched helplessly as your Yang family overthrew the Yan family. Now I don't expect that your Yang family is also ambitious."
"No matter what, if the Yang family cannot succeed this time, can it be that the Yang family wants to establish a country?"...
Many family heads became more and more fierce in their rhetoric, and they all opposed it fiercely, and even became tense.
There are some Qigong elders in the family who are secretly working on their Qigong and are ready to take action. If they disagree, they will be killed.
Yang Yunchong and Yang Hualong both saw their palms sweating.
At the beginning, the Yang family got help to overthrow the Yan family. It was the cooperation of more than 30 airbenders and hundreds of eighth-level airbender masters. Now that the Yunhai Kingdom has calmed down, these masters have been ordered to go back by the family. It is somewhat impossible to suppress all the wealthy and aristocratic families with the Yang family's own strength.
"Then what do you want to do?" Yang Zhan said calmly: "Are we going to maintain the status quo? Wait for the enemy to come and destroy our entire family, and even the ancestral tablets cannot be saved?"
"For this matter, we can form an alliance. When the time comes to discuss joint resistance, we will form a court. That will deprive us of our power. Even if it means death, our family will never agree."
An airbender elder stood up.
Just as the entire council hall was struggling fiercely, suddenly countless swishing sounds fell from outside the city lord's mansion.
Many family masters and elders who were arguing were startled and rushed out of the door. They saw rows of airbending masters and masked men in black standing in the courtyard of the mansion.
These masked men in black clothes all have profound qigong skills. Looking at this group of family heads and elders, they are simply looking at a group of "country bumpkin".
They are all masters who came from the capital city of the Holy Ancestor Dynasty. Compared with the capital city, Yandu City is really too behind.
However, when they saw Yang Zhan coming out, things changed immediately. A sense of respect emanated from his body.
One of the tallest airbenders tore off the mask on his head and strode towards Yang Zhan: "Master Yang Zhan, I'm here to pay my respects."
"It turns out to be the gold and stone soul chaser, Mr. Hua Gang." Yang Zhan knew that this Qibong was the master of the Hua family who helped him drive away the Yan family to defend against the invasion of the Yunhai Kingdom.
The Hua family in Beijing is a huge family like a giant.
Hua Yinhu is one of the young masters.
And this Hua Gang is a slave of the Hua family. The ninth-level airbender is a slave!
"I wonder why Mr. Huagang came here?" Yang Zhan asked in surprise.
"Congratulations to City Master Yang, congratulations to City Master Yang." Hua Gang bowed immediately after hearing this question. Immediately all the masked Qi Sect men bowed towards Yang Zhan.
"Don't, don't be like this, how can Yang Zhan afford it?" Yang Zhan was stunned, and other wealthy nobles were also stunned. They didn't know why these big shots from the capital were so polite to Yang Zhan.
"It's natural that a father is more valuable than a son." Hua Gang quickly supported Yang Zhan, who was about to repay the gift, and said anxiously: "A month ago, your son Yang Qi was promoted to the life-threatening realm in Tianwei Academy and became an incomparable person. At the same time, he was recognized by Tianwei Academy and became an elite student after examination. My young master Hua Yinhu and Yang Qi are sworn brothers and asked us to deliver the good news immediately. "
"What? What did you say?"
When Yang Zhan heard the news, he was almost so excited that he couldn't stand still.
"Qi'er was promoted to the fatal realm and became an elite student!" Although he had known for a long time that his son Yang Qi had had an adventure and far surpassed him, the news that his son had become successful was still like good news. I can't do it myself, even my years of qigong cultivation can't suppress it.
"What? Death-killing realm, elite student..."
This news was no less than a bolt from the blue to the nobles and elders of various wealthy families present.
They may not know the status of the elite students of Tianwei Academy, but they know the words "death-killing realm" like thunder.
In their eyes, the "death-taking realm" is a god, invincible, no one can compete. A strong man in the life-taking realm can destroy cities and kill thousands of armies.
"This matter is absolutely true. It won't be long before the Holy Ancestor Dynasty will also know about it. They will come down and canonize it. Now we have received the news in advance. Our four major families, the Hua family, the Li family, the He family, and the Liang family The heads of the family also knew about this incident, and they all sent letters of condolences and some small gifts, asking Brother Yang Zhan to accept them. In addition, the heads of the family also ordered us to follow Brother Yang Zhan's dispatch and achieve a great career. "
"Yes, now Young Master Yang Qi is assisting our Young Master, and he will be promoted to the life-threatening realm. Once successful, the Yang family will be the benefactors of our major families. We will definitely assist the Yang family and become the supreme overlord of this area. Status." Another Qi Zong said.
"Heaven wants to prosper my Yang family..." Yang Zhan murmured.
"My Wang family is willing to obey the Yang family's command and establish a court." Suddenly, the head of the Wang family knelt down on one knee and saluted Yang Zhan. The speed of change is simply incredible.
"Damn it, the Wang family has changed its attitude so quickly. It's really unprepared." Some of the heads of the family who just spoke uprightly knew at this moment that if they didn't obey, they would be in great trouble. They secretly scolded the head of the Wang family for his change of attitude. Quick, grab the soup. But they no longer hesitated and immediately knelt down.
Immediately afterwards, almost all the family heads knelt down. The strong rebuttal just now and the obedience now formed a sharp contrast.
This was all brought about by the news that Yang Qi had been promoted to the fatal realm.
A person in the life-threatening realm is enough to sweep through all the wealthy families without having to waste any effort.
Some airbenders have been practicing for hundreds of years and have never even seen what a master in the life-threatening realm looks like.
"Okay, everyone, since you regard me as king and establish a small court, then I, Yang Zhan, will do my part. Now everyone, come in and discuss important matters together. In these days, we will take over the civil and military officials, military power, financial power, and land power. On average, settle them one by one." Yang Zhan Leili was very popular and was about to prepare for big things immediately.
One month passed in a row, and the weather gradually became hotter. It was already late spring, and summer would begin in one month. Yang Qi stood on the roof of his castle, letting the warm spring breeze blow, and opened a letter.
This letter records in detail the changes that have taken place in Yang Jiayan's capital this month. His father, Yang Zhan, established a small court, proclaimed himself king, gathered all the private soldiers of the major wealthy families, and established court laws.
Almost all of the thousands of miles around Yandu City is under the control of the Yang family. Each county, town, and village has appointed officials to manage it, and the government orders have been unified, and it has become a country.
This is a letter from Yang Zhan, saying that he plans to establish a country in a few months. He also wants to ask Yang Qi what he thinks about the name of the country.
At the end of this letter, Yang Zhan finally wrote out the secret of Yang Qi's mother.
"Qi'er, your mother comes from the Holy Land of the Monster Clan, Xuankong Mountain, which belongs to the Divine Mountain outside the world, and is in another time and space. Your mother is also extraordinary. She is a noble saint with a very high status in the Monster Clan. I don't know your mother's identity yet. The only name I know is that her nickname is Qing Luo. It is said that she and I have a destined relationship. When she left me that day, she left me a message: "When will you become the master of the entire Fenghuo Continent, and I will be able to return to my homeland again?" Appearing in front of you', I always thought it was goodbye forever. Now with a son as promising as you, there may be a glimmer of hope..."
