Chapter 31 The Imperial City
Phoenix City is the imperial city of Fengyan Kingdom. It is rumored that a phoenix was reborn here in ancient times, so it was named Phoenix City. The territory under the jurisdiction of Phoenix City is next to another empire. The Great Yan Dynasty ruled over half of the Tianyuan Continent. Territory, and Fengyan Kingdom is just one of the dependent countries.

Yan Jiuyang, the emperor of Fengyan Kingdom, had a certain idea of ​​rooting the imperial city here, and such an idea can only be guessed by those princes and ministers, and ordinary people don't care about it.

As an imperial city, Phoenix City connects the major traffic routes to various counties, so it can be described as extending in all directions and extremely prosperous.
Looking from a distance, the entire imperial city is filled with a phoenix energy, like a phoenix, which will spread its wings and fly high at any time. Looking closely, it is ancient, majestic, and magnificent. It makes people feel daunting.

Xiao Yuan asked the people of the Nanbarbarian and Ma'an tribes to change into ordinary clothes, because their tall bodies were too obvious, so they could only be allowed to enter the city in batches.

Not long after everyone entered the city, a guard with a knife came to the place where Xiao Yuan and the others stayed: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Xiao Yuan?"

Xiao Yuan was still puzzled at first, but as soon as he settled down, someone came to them, and then he was relieved after thinking about it. As a princess, Yan Xigui must have a lot of eyeliners in the imperial city. But Yanxi knew that he would come to the imperial city in two days, so he decided to send more people to watch the place where he entered the city.
The person who came was indeed Princess Yanxi's bodyguard, and he saluted Xiao Yuan: "Princess Yanxi welcomes you!"

It's just that the salute didn't show any respect, and there was even disdain in his eyes. He presumably saw that Xiao Yuan was so thin and had no spiritual power, so he had such an idea. For a while, he couldn't figure it out, why? Princess Yanxi would receive such a person!

Seeing the guard's expression, Xiao Yuan was not angry at all. He strode forward and punched the guard without any warning, knocking back the terrified guard several feet away.

The guard's face was full of unbelievable expressions, but the facts pulled him back from the shock, and then half-kneeled down: "Damn it, I didn't know you are so powerful! I hope you will forgive me!"

The guards believed that the previous Xiao Yuan just punched casually, if he used all his strength, his life might be lost.

At this time, Pan Huang and the others who were in the house also came out...
After seeing the sturdy bodies of Pan Huang and the others and sensing the terrifying power contained in the muscles, the guard's entire body trembled involuntarily.
Led by the guards, Xiao Yuan and the others walked towards the west of the city to meet Princess Yanxi. Xiao Yuan didn't bring many people with him, he only stayed in Panhuang and Yuelan, and it would be more conspicuous if he brought more people.

After walking for half an hour, they came to a magnificent mansion, "Tiance Mansion"

What a domineering name, when I saw the three characters on the horizontal plaque, Xiao Yuan admired it. I didn't expect that the domineering in Yanxi's heart was not inferior to that of a man. Just looking at the name of this mansion, you can tell that the ambition in her heart is strong. how big.

As soon as you enter the mansion, there are pearl curtains and jasper, green water and rockery, small bridges and rivers with pavilions, and even vermilion green tiles and glazed walls!This cannot be described as luxurious at all, it is simply a mountain of gold, and the construction of this mansion alone probably cost tens of millions of taels of gold.

But at this moment, Yan Xi, who was wearing a thin green shirt, was standing in front of the main hall, as if he had been waiting here.

Seeing such a scene, even if he knew that Yanxi was just trying to buy him off, Xiao Yuan felt that Yanxi was indeed extraordinary, as a princess of a dynasty, she could live in such a low posture. Yuan favorability increased greatly.

"Young Master Xiao! Yan Xi misses you very much after three days of farewell! As soon as I heard that you were coming today, I immediately sent someone to contact you, and prepared a sumptuous dinner for you!" Seeing Xiao from a distance, Yuan, Yanxi smiled pretty, and strode forward to welcome her.

"Princess, you're welcome!" Xiao Yuan just said a few words, and didn't say too many polite words.

"What's the matter, Mr. Xiao? Now that you and I are cooperating, Yanxi has to express his sincerity, right? Now the brothers in the city have a lot of eyeliners, so Yanxi is going to give this Tiance Mansion to Mr. Xiao."

Tiance Mansion has a full radius of three hundred feet. It is very easy to accommodate a hundred people like Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan also knows what Yan Xi means. People from the Southern Barbarians and the Ma'an Clan can have such a hiding place It could not be better!
"Then thank you princess!" Xiao Yuan saluted.

Yan Xi waved her hand lightly, without any airs or shyness as a woman, she directly took Xiao Yuan's hand and walked into the main hall, where she sat on the table that had already been prepared with sumptuous food and drinks.

After pouring Xiao Yuan a glass of wine, he said again: "There are a full 1000 million taels of gold in the treasury of Tiance Mansion for Young Master Xiao to arrange. If it is not enough, Young Master Xiao will just open his mouth!"

Yanxi knew that if Xiao Yuan planned to cooperate with her, he would have to spend a lot of money, so he prepared his belongings early.

Rao Xiao Yuan brought back a lot of gems and other things from the Southern Barbarians, and he was choked by this figure. Not to mention how much the Tiance Mansion is worth, the 1000 million taels of gold alone can almost buy half of the emperor. Cheng, Princess Yanxi is really rich and incomparable!
Seeing that Xiao Yuan was choked, Yan Xi smiled lightly, and then described the current situation in the imperial city.

A few months ago, the emperor Yan Jiuyang eradicated the three major forces, and the prestige of the royal family rose to an unprecedented height. It was originally made of bones, and the death of a few soldiers is nothing to Fengyan Kingdom.

Although the Fengyan Kingdom is unified, the Chao Gang has become disorganized. Perhaps Yan Jiuyang was unable to clean up the Chao Gang due to the pressure from the three major forces. Some useless people were expelled from the court.

But Yan Jiuyang knows that the cleanup should be done slowly, and it cannot be done in one pot, otherwise the world will be in chaos, because these officials all rely on their own relationships to sit in some positions and have no real ability at all. Xiangwei, if they are investigated at once, it will cause dissatisfaction among the civil and military officials. If something happens again, it will not be worth the loss.

And right now, it is time for Yan Jiuyang to plan this big event, but the civil and military officials below have already received the news, and they are all in a state of fear, for fear that it will hurt themselves, because they all know clearly whether they are the material or not. How did you get the job.

Therefore, these officials, big and small, began to give gifts to those real princes, ministers, and relatives of the royal family in order to win over their relationships in order to keep their positions
Although these officials were extremely worried, those who had real abilities but were covered up, and those who were suppressed saw hope, and praised Yan Jiuyang as a wise king, a holy king, and a good emperor.

It can be said that Yan Jiuyang won the hearts of the people for a while. This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone. It not only suppresses those corrupt officials and incompetent people, but also wins the hearts of the people, and can even dig out real useful talents.

Among these useful talents, there are literary talents who have read poetry and books, warriors who practice martial arts, and even puppet masters, soul masters, illusionists, etc.
And although the several princes seem to be united to suppress Yanxi on the surface, they are all on their own defenses, there is no real unity at all, and they each draw useful talents from all directions in this undercurrent.
Of course, this also includes Princess Yanxi.
