Ye Que drew a big cake for Qi Ying, which was full of temptations. Except for the leaders of the major tribes and the kings of the major kingdoms, anyone in the world would be tempted by it.
You can choose magical weapons and weapons, you can choose princesses and young ladies, you can be given high-ranking officials and generous salaries... Qi Ying felt excited as she listened.
His heart was beating, and Qi Ying also admitted that these were very tempting, but he knew what he came to the Gilded Kingdom for. It was not to really surrender, but to gain time to grow up. He would definitely kill Tuoba Guangfeng who killed Qi Yiwu. , the promise Chu He Qu had to kill the God of War sword and help him get revenge had to be completed.
Besides, if he really killed Tuoba Yong and Tuoba Hong, he would be of no use to Tuoba Guangfeng, and the pie that Ye Que painted was just empty talk.
"We'll wait until we return to the capital to analyze the situation. The top priority is cultivation, cultivation!"
Qi Ying walked out of the secret room and felt that when she breathed the air full of death, her left hand grew again. She tried to run the technique, and the speed of practice seemed to be accelerated a little...
…
The Gilded Kingdom had just recovered from the stress, but the Yunxiao Kingdom looked majestic and high-spirited.
With a great victory over the Gilded Kingdom and the defeat of the invading powerful enemies, Ji Yingou, who was a divine, cultural and holy warrior, seemed to have the status of a rejuvenating king. He was even praised by some people in the kingdom as the greatest king since the founding of the kingdom, and he sent more powerful troops. The soldiers and armies rescued the barbarian tribes and fought against the powerful Canghai Kingdom in the southern region, which demonstrated the strength of the country and inspired the hearts of the people.
Ji Yingou's vigorous and resolute methods also shocked all the aristocratic families in the kingdom. Anyone who was dissatisfied with the governance, no matter how high his status or power, would be charged with at least 18 crimes by the civil servants and sent to prison. Unknown how many people could not bear the torture in prison and committed suicide one after another.
The strong men of the aristocratic families who were still sitting at home, the timid ones, were all terrified. In order to protect themselves, they swore allegiance and cheered for Ji Yingou; the bold ones were silent, and no matter how radical they were, Understand that the era of decentralization of power among aristocratic families is over, and the royal family, or Ji Yingou, will have to monopolize the power.
Gradually, in the eyes of many people, Ji Yingou is the god of the Yunxiao Kingdom. Everything the god says is right. Those who support the god are all good people of the Yunxiao Kingdom. Anyone who opposes the god is innocent. Forgiveness, sinners like the traitor Qi Ying must be punished with the severest punishment.
However, on the other side of the Nanman Mountains, bad news also followed.
First, nearly half of the barbarian tribe rebelled. The leader, Mantu, was attacked by traitors and died of serious injuries. Before her death, she left the leadership of the tribe to the little barbarian princess Manjiao. Soon after, more bad news came, about the two most outstanding princes in the royal family. The army was ambushed, one was killed and the other wounded.
When the news came, the royal capital was shocked!
Countless people were in an uproar. There were only two capable princes. One died, and the other's foundation was damaged, and he stayed at the elementary level of the Earth Martial Realm for the rest of his life.
It seems that the young royal family has nothing to offer, and the remaining ones are even less talented than Ji Yingou back then.
Suddenly, countless families began to make moves again. No matter how tyrannical Ji Yingou was, he would only remain in power for another thirty years. When the weak prince succeeded to the throne, they could still regain the power they had lost.
Ji Yingou was silent for a long time after hearing the news. He wandered in the imperial study room for half the night and sighed: "Who said they are my sons? They died on the battlefield and were wrapped in horse leather. They deserved to die."
Then he made a decision that stunned all the aristocratic families, families, and civil and military officials in the dynasty.
The kingdom needs to establish a heir apparent.
There is nothing surprising about the appointment of a prince. Having a prince can also reduce the royal family's partisanship. However, the problem is that the person he appointed as the prince is not any prince in the royal family, but the princess Ji Luoxue.
Wow!
When the news came, the whole country was shocked.
In addition to all the heated discussions among the major aristocratic families, the civil servants who had always followed Ji Yingou's orders came out to dissuade him without fear of death. They cited examples from various kingdoms across the continent for thousands of years, saying that no woman had ever been the crown prince. , a precedent for inheriting the throne, a king must not do this, otherwise the country will decline.
But how strong is Ji Yingou? Even though the civil servants knelt to death outside in the cold, they refused to change their minds.
Ji Yunxuan, Yan Changying and others could not sit still anymore and came to the palace one after another to talk to Ji Yingou secretly. He had great power, but he could not do whatever he wanted and did whatever he wanted.
After all, there have been many examples of kingdoms that prospered and then declined in the past. The same king worked hard for the first ten years of his reign and the kingdom was extremely powerful, but then he acted arbitrarily and consumed the national power, causing the kingdom to decline rapidly, and two generations or even one generation died.
Ji Luoxue... Although she is extremely talented, she is still a woman and has little prestige in the world. She cannot suppress the various aristocratic families below.
Everyone talked earnestly, but Ji Yingou still did not change his mind and retorted: "Can't suppress it? Only the younger generation of the seven major families, except for one or two thorns, is there anyone she can't suppress? Chu Yi saw her If Qi Feng doesn't kneel down, he won't surrender to her? If he doesn't obey, just kill him."
People continued to persuade, and Ji Yingou scolded: "Then you find me someone more suitable for the position of crown prince. Among those wastes who want talent but no talent, and no brains, who will become the king and not be deprived of power? My decades of hard work have been wasted because my successor is a waste?"
"this… "
Ji Yunxuan, Yan Changying and others looked at each other in confusion.
Yan Changying sighed: "We understand your Majesty's difficulties... But Princess Luoxue is still too unpopular as the crown prince. Even if your Majesty has made up his mind, there must be some buffer. If there is a sudden change, the kingdom will be in too much chaos. The morale of the military on the other side of the Nanman Mountains will also be affected."
Ji Yingou pondered for a long time, then Fang narrowed his eyes and said, "In that case, let her take the younger generation to the front line of the Southern Barbarians again..."
The matter of establishing the crown prince was finally put on hold. Yan Changying, Ji Yunxuan and others left with satisfaction. In the study, a graceful figure stood out from behind the bookshelf.
Ji Luoxue sighed: "My father is in trouble."
Ji Yingou shook his head: "It's nothing. What they said is indeed true. I don't give you prestige. You need to earn it yourself... Luoxue, don't worry. As long as you capture the Gilded Kingdom and use their dragon veins, I can break through to the Divine Martial Realm, I will be invincible in the world, and the unification of the continent is just around the corner! And after I leave, you will be the first queen in the history of Tianluo Continent."
