On October 8, 10437 of the Ten Thousand Demons National Calendar, the Demon King Tai'an ascended the throne.
Different from the previous Demon Emperor who ascended the throne, Tai An is the second-generation Demon Emperor and the only successor of the first-generation Demon Emperor recognized by the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.
This is very interesting. The first generation Demon King was a big bird shining with golden light. He was good at divination and proficient in formation. The second generation Demon King was exactly the same. The former was named Tai Su and the latter was named Tai An. They were very similar.
Those who understand will understand. Those with broad vision, such as Huang Xiao, Ying Long, and Ji Huang, know clearly that Tai An and Tai Su are not of the same race. However, there are a few people with broad vision in the world. If you tell them the difference between the three-legged golden crow and the golden-winged Roc, they won’t even know what these two birds are.
Therefore, the consensus of the people in the world is that Tai An inherited Tai Su's invincible bloodline, which led to the second generation of Demon King.
The name Taiyan thus became famous throughout the world.
On that day, the phoenix flapped its wings, the mirage dragon danced, and golden light and auspiciousness continued for several days.
The Demon Emperor Tai'an and the Demon Queen Huang Yu were crowned, all the demons came to pay homage, and the human kingdom also sent envoys to congratulate them.
It was a very hurried day. Tai An seemed to have no energy and had little interest in such a big event as the coronation. Apart from the beauties sent by the human countries, which dazzled his eyes, he was sleepy the rest of the time.
The next day, Taian did not attend court, and the left prime minister Kong Ji was very busy.
At this time, the frenzied confiscation of property in Demon King City had not yet ended. More than 90% of the civil and military officials left behind by the previous Demon King, Xie Ren, were sentenced to death. Kong Ji was busy for ten days and ten nights just to formulate a new team.
The Eighth Prince tried every means to insert his own people into the court. Kong Ji made a lot of money. He was a smart peacock, so he drew up three teams and sent all the money he made to the imperial study.
Lu Bei had no interest in this, and while he was still strong, he decided on the positions of civil and military officials before Huang Yu came to power.
The Demon Queen coaxed the Demon King into sleep with all her might, and she made him sleep completely obediently. The latter was weak, and could not find a chance to sleep with the two vixens around him, so he reluctantly handed over power, and the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons officially entered the Era of the Demon Queen.
Of course, the second generation Demon King was not idle either. He issued some rather foolish decrees before handing over power.
First, there are too many empty rooms in the harem, and we must find a way to fill them up as soon as possible.
I don't mean anything else. Taian is still a child. How can a child have any bad intentions? He simply likes to be lively.
The second point is to disarm and reorganize, shrink the battle line between the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and the Kingdom of Humans. It is meaningless if it is too long. Withdraw the troops from the small border countries and concentrate them all at the gate of Jingyue Kingdom.
What is the status of the Wan Yao Kingdom? It is the number one powerful country in the Jiuzhou Continent.
Tai An was destined to be an existence comparable to the first generation Demon King. It was too cheap for him to compete with small human countries like Xuanlong, so he disdained it. All the troops were concentrated on the opposite side of Jingyue Country, general against general, king against king. When the time was right, he would lead the army in person and sweep across the continent of Kyushu.
This policy is very unreasonable. It cannot be said to be foolish, but it has risen to the level of a policy that will lead to the destruction of the country.
The long battle line is beneficial to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. Let’s take Xuanlong as an example. If it weren’t for the long-term harassment and attacks by the demon soldiers and generals, with the fortune of the Xuanlong Millennium Divine Dynasty and the rich treasury, it would have long become a great power of the human race.
It is also a waste of potential and overdraft of the future. The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons can afford it. Just throwing out a few demon kings can drag down a country's finances for a hundred years.
Being penniless and yet still waging war is not just a vicious cycle, it is a dead end. The reason why Xuanlong can survive until now is that he has acted like a gangster in front of Wu Zhou, Xiong Chu, Qi Yan and other countries, using all means of cheating and deceiving people, and even losing his face to make money.
If the national policy is suddenly changed, the national strength of a country like Xuanlong will inevitably prosper. Otherwise, it will be equivalent to the decline of the national strength of Wan Yao Country.
Third, the overall architectural layout of the Demon King City is average, and there was no planning at the beginning of its construction. The Queen Mother doesn't even have a place to climb up and look far into the distance.
This is not good. Let’s build a Star-Picking Tower first. If the Queen Mother is happy, the Demon King will be happy too. If the Demon King is happy, he will not trouble everyone in a short period of time.
Because the Queen Mother had many adopted sons and daughters, the Eight Princes all had a share in the inheritance. Tai An did not want to enjoy the reputation of being a filial son alone, so he took the Queen Mother out for everyone to share, so the money to build the Zhaixing Tower was paid by the Eight Princes.
Seventy percent went into the Demon King's pocket, twenty percent was divided between the Queen Mother and the Demon Queen, and ten percent was used to build a building. The Phoenix clan, the in-laws, were responsible for the construction. It didn't matter if there was not enough money, because the Eighth Prince had some at home, so he could find a way out for himself.
The Phoenix clan is eloquent, and all the birds are well versed in general principles. They will definitely be able to convince the Eight Kings to pay the money.
Article 4. Tai An is not interested in money or beauty, and among his few interests, bullying the weak ranks first. He orders the Eight Kings to gather enough manpower as soon as possible, to gather 365 Mahayana Demon Kings, to reside in the Demon King City permanently, and to master the power of the Star Array.
This move caused unanimous opposition from the Eight Kings. With 365 Mahayana masters spread out, the Eight King Cities would have no generals to defend. Some time ago, the Luwu clan was crushed by a mysterious human being. At this time, the Zheng Yaos were in a panic and would not agree even if they were killed.
Tai An thought that what the Eighth King said made sense. As a generation of the Lord of the Underworld, he sympathized with the difficulties of the Eighth King. In order to let them concentrate on forming the Star Array, he sent strong men from the Phoenix clan to the Eighth King Cities.
With strong men from the Phoenix clan in charge of the defense of the royal city, do you still have any concerns, my dear ministers
All the beloved ministers dared to be angry but not to speak out.
Article 5. All the blood source left by the first generation Demon King must be handed over. Anyone who keeps it privately will be deprived of the throne of the Eighth King.
Article 6: Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Tai An is an ambitious demon king. He does not want to be a tyrant. His early governing philosophy revolves around military reorganization and financial management. He wants to do both well.
The military reorganization is underway, and financial management must also start simultaneously. The so-called increasing revenue and reducing expenditure can be broken down into increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
Saving money is very simple. There are a lot of ways to save money, such as reducing the title of "Demon King". The current title of Demon King in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is too low. If you have a good background, you can get the title of Demon King and enjoy salary and various benefits every month every year.
Is this ok
This is not good, it’s not like the Kingdom of Monsters at all.
In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, the strong are respected. From now on, only those in the Mahayana stage can obtain the title of Demon King and the salary. The rest, regardless of their background, even the in-laws of the Emperor Phoenix, are no exception.
As for opening up source, it is even simpler. The second generation Demon King has a birthday every month. He is a frugal Demon King, so everything is kept simple on his birthday. The eight kings just pay directly, and he won't invite everyone to dinner.
Article 7…
There were nine orders in total, big and small. Tai'an called them "Nine Strategies for a Strong Country" and ordered the left prime minister Kong Ji to brag about them to death. He was very proud of the strategies he had formulated for governing the country.
In the Eighth King’s opinion, this was clearly a complete plan of nine strategies for the destruction of a nation, and contained a high amount of the influence of the First Generation Demon Emperor.
For example, the patriarch of the Bai Ze clan, now the right prime minister Bai Zhui, took the lead in banging his head against the pillar in the court, and begged Tai An to revoke his order. Because he broke the pillar, all the demons turned right when they went out and paid the fine in anger.
By the way, the Luwu clan suffered a disastrous defeat which damaged the national prestige. Although they still have the title of the Eight Kings, they are already in name only. There is no place for them among the civil and military officials, and all of them have been occupied by the Bai Ze clan.
Even the harem, palaces and secret realms representing the Luwu clan were taken away by the Bai Ze clan.
The Luwu clan was completely squeezed out of the center of power. Any beautiful demon from the Eight Kings could ride on the Demon King, but they had no chance. This alone made it impossible for them to turn things around.
The principle of "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it" is the same everywhere. The Eighth King suffered injustice at the hands of the Demon King, but dared not vent their anger. Instead, they formed a team and used the Luwu clan as a punching bag, intending to force them to surrender to the human race.
Lu Bei did it on purpose. The Luwu clan is too loyal to the Demon King, which is not good. When they can no longer tolerate it and are ready to rebel, Lu Bei will consider letting them return to the center of power.
The other eight kings are the same. Hurry up and brag all day long that they are the worms in His Majesty's stomach, but they don't even know what the Demon King wants.
Imperial study.
The Demon King drank delicious medicinal food, flanked by fox spirits who massaged his shoulders and legs. The Demon Queen worked hard among the pile of memorials. Everyone got the happiness they wanted.
Not only did the Eighth Prince complain about the new policy, Huang Yu also felt that Tai'an's moves were simply bad. She had just gained power and did not dare to go against Tai'an's wishes. She knew it was wrong, but she still insisted on doing so.
However, Huang Yu was very satisfied with Tai'an's preference for his in-laws, and regarded it as Tai'an's favor to her. When there were no monsters around, she put aside her dignity as the mother of the country and became as clingy as she could be.
First love is always like this. You are coaxed around by a scumbag and really think you have the whole world.
"Little Yellow Croaker, do you have anything important to report today?"
Lu Bei hummed twice in a pretentious manner. As the lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, he delegated power to Huang Yu and his daily life was very relaxed.
Every day, apart from thinking about the beauties in the harem and asking the Eighth Prince to send his concubines to the Demon King's Palace as soon as possible, he spent the rest of his time pampering the Demon Queen.
Cheating on one side and doting on the other side made the already possessive Huang Yu explode. She was so worried about gains and losses that her mentality became unbalanced and she might go into a rampage mode at any time.
Huang Yu knew that she was no match for Tai An by force, and if they really fought, she would be the only one to lose favor. In order to prevent her beloved bird from being tempted by other women, she kept a tight guard and pressed forward step by step, and so far, she had not given Tai An a chance to lose his virginity.
God's will, I am the highest.
The great gods of the Phoenix clan used it in palace fighting, with outstanding results. Except for the first phoenix dying with its eyes open, there was nothing wrong with the others.
Huang Yu has already figured out Tai An's stupidity. Family and national affairs are trivial in the eyes of the latter. If you insist on saying what's the important matter...
She flipped through the memorial and said reluctantly: "Jingyue Kingdom sent a hundred beautiful pictures, hoping..."
The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom withdrew its frontline forces and assembled a strong army to station itself at the gates of the Jingyue Kingdom. Another 365 Mahayana Demon Kings gathered in the Demon King City, making it look like a national war, which really scared the Jingyue Emperor.
Not to mention that the second generation Demon Emperor defeated one emperor and eight kings, and his own strength is extremely powerful. The 365 Mahayana Demon Kings alone are enough to sweep across Jingyue. If they send out troops on the first day, they can push the battle line to the Kunlun Mountains on the second day.
Who can stand this!
Emperor Jingyue couldn't stand it anyway, and there were even surrender factions in the court, who refuted the militant faction with reason and evidence, leaving them speechless.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Jingyue catered to his wishes, collected beauties and presented hundreds of beautiful pictures, placing their hopes on this. They did not seek to tire the Second Generation Demon King to death, but wanted to delay it for as long as possible.
Apart from Jingyue Kingdom, all the human countries, big and small, were secretly planning. What would they do if the demons arrived at the city
It is impossible to surrender. There is no such thing as surrender in a racial war. With the example of Jingyue Kingdom, everyone is following suit and working on their own Hundred Beauty Pictures.
Lu Bei's eyes lit up. It was time to establish his character. He patted his butt, asked his left and right maids, Xian'an and Xian'an, to stand aside, and took out the Hundred Beauties Picture to examine it carefully.
On the side, Xian'an and Xian'er lowered their heads and looked submissive, facing the Queen Demon's fiery gaze, not saying a word and being exceptionally well-behaved.
With Huang Yu's petty mind, she should not tolerate two vixen. But the Queen Mother was also a vixen. The two fox girls were given to the Demon King by the Queen Mother. She was unwilling but had no way to deal with them.
I can only push harder.
"All of these beauties are of top-notch appearance. Jingyue country has shown its affection, which makes me very happy." Lu Bei said with a laugh, his teeth showing.
His acting skills are excellent, and he has captured the image of a tyrant ruler very well, and he has imitated the voice, appearance and smile of the first generation Demon King vividly.
Huang Yu snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, there are already many beauties in the palace."
"No human race."
"Yes."
"What? There is such a thing. How come I don't know about it?"
"… "
Huang Yu shut up, annoyed at herself for speaking too quickly.
Seeing his beloved bird eager to try and taste the human beauty, he sneered in his heart and waved his hand to let Xian'an and Xian'er stand outside the door.
"Your Majesty~~"
Huang Yu's eyes were as charming as silk, and her fingertips brushed across the bright yellow phoenix robe of the Mother of the Country, revealing her graceful figure with amazing curves.
In just a few days, under the tremendous pressure of palace fighting, she even learned how to wear uniforms.
"… "
Lu Bei's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly remembered a line of poetry: "My clothes are getting looser and looser, but I will never regret it. I am becoming haggard for her."
Mr. Liu, are you serious
