"The concubine will keep it in mind. Since the emperor trusts the concubine so much, the concubine wants to disband these big families in the country. They rule almost all the counties in the country. Even if the royal management needs their consent, it is a great deal for the country. Hidden danger." Shangguan Rong leaned in Zhou An's arms and said.
"Okay, that's how it should be. But which family is the queen going to deal with first?" Zhou An asked.
"The Shangguan family is the largest family in the country. It controls half of the territory in Qianjing. Almost one-third of the country's income goes to the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family must be dissolved first, and then the Jiang family." Shangguan Rong said.
Zhou An was surprised, looked at the Queen's expression, and asked curiously: "Then you will become the object of the Shangguan family's scolding, have you thought about how to deal with it?"
"Although the concubine is the daughter of the Shangguan family, first of all the concubine is the queen of the Qianyuan Empire. The country will always come first. Joining the Imperial City Army, all the guilds formed and the random cultivators recruited will be disbanded, and the territory controlled by the family will be returned to the state, and private tax collection is no longer allowed." Shangguan Rong said seriously.
Zhou An nodded and said: "Okay, but this matter will be carried out after a year, and now I find that the battle between righteousness and evil will affect Qianjing, and even the whole country. Unmanageable situations arise.
Moreover, both Jinyiwei and Ziyiwei are currently cultivating and improving, and it will take a while to digest them. When these two organizations grow up, then we will be able to face any situation. "
"The concubine understands." Shangguan Rong secretly rejoiced. She was very happy that Zhou An agreed with her ideas, and that the two of them could maintain the same views on this aspect.
He suddenly kissed Zhou An, and said in a charming tone: "Your Majesty, my concubine wants it."
Zhou An rejoiced, hugged her and rejoiced above the lobby.
The maid immediately stepped back, lowered the curtain quietly, closed the doors and windows and stayed outside.
After this time, Shangguan Rong really returned home, and Zhou An was naturally happy. He had long wanted to attack these big families, but he just proposed it himself, which was far less effective than the queen saying it in person.
In the following time, the palace became calm, and no one in the court dared to oppose the Queen's decision. However, when Cai Xianfa was carrying out reforms, he was made things difficult by the officials below and was directly beheaded by Jin Yiwei on the spot. The high officials who tried to defend were targeted by Jin Yiwei The investigation led to ransacking of homes, and the beheading of key figures in public.
So far, no one dared to oppose the reform of the scientific examination. Even the big family could only bow their heads and admit it. Instead, they asked their sons to work hard and pass the national examination to enter the imperial court.
The queen was busy with state affairs during the day, and Zhou An taught her the art of yin and yang to practice together at night. At the same time, she began to help the queen find suitable treasures and exercises.
Practicing yin and yang techniques with Hua Wuyue and Shangguan Rong, Rang's cultivation base also began to rise.
On this day, Zhou An checked in all over the country as usual, lit up a city map, and got a spirit treasure. Although these were of little use to him, they could be used as prizes for his subordinates who made contributions.
And this trip got a lot of pills, but it's a pity that they were all used by acquired warriors.
Just as he was about to go to the nearby mountain range to sign in, Zhou Lingsha flew the sword to pass the letter, and a white light flew in front of him, and a string of words appeared.
He frowned when he saw it, and immediately flew back to the palace with Yujian.
Zhou Lingsha was already waiting in the hall of Qianyang Palace. As soon as the light flew down, she said: "Brother Emperor, a large number of deaths have suddenly occurred in Qianjing in the past three days. The demon town chief inspected and confirmed that it was caused by demons. "
"Can't the Wan Yao King handle it?" Zhou An was surprised. With the Wan Yao King's ability, even if there are monsters causing trouble, it should be easy to solve it. Now the Zhen Yao Division has eight demon kings and hundreds of big demons sitting in the town. The demon hunter among human beings.
It can be said that in Qianjing, even if hundreds of monsters are causing trouble at the same time, the town demon division can take them all in one day.
"It's already being dealt with. At the beginning, a lot of monsters were caught and thrown into the Demon Town Tower, but today the Wan Yao King suddenly came to me and said that something important happened, and asked me to report it immediately. He flew out of the city alone, feeling as if he was on the verge of death enemy.
I think that the Wan Yao King must have discovered important clues and encountered an opponent that even made him feel difficult.
Moreover, just a few days after Taizu was killed, so many monsters appeared in Ganjing to cause disaster, I guess it is very likely that the gold and silver robes did it secretly. "Zhou Lingsha analyzed.
"Understood, you continue to monitor Qianjing, I'll go and have a look." Zhou An immediately flew away from the hall, and at the same time released a flying sword to send a letter to the Four Kongling Immortals, asking them to strengthen their guard, and also told Hua Wuyue to follow him to take a look .
Chapter 69
On a mountain top in the northern suburbs of Qianjing, Zhou An and Hua Wuyue saw a mountain peak soaring to the sky from a long distance away.
They had just landed here, and saw four men with a demonic aura standing opposite the Wan Yao King.
Seeing Zhou An and Hua Wuyuelai, one of the tall black-haired men snorted disdainfully: "Old man Si Chen, you can change your name as the Ten Thousand Demon King now, as a human lackey, I think It's just you running dog king."
Another cold-haired man followed suit: "Si Chen, you were the most respected by the eldest brother back then. If the eldest brother knew what you did today, he would have killed you first. It is a shame to the demon world."
The white-haired woman in white also had a frosty face, gritted her teeth and said, "Si Chen, go back to your Ten Thousand Demon Forest now, otherwise don't blame us for disregarding our past friendship today."
The glamorous woman in colorful clothes also said: "Brother Si Chen, my younger sister doesn't want to do this, but what you did today really insulted my brother's reputation, do you know that now the demon world is talking about you.
As long as you join hands with us to kill this emperor, you will still be the Wan Yao King, and the demon world will not pursue it any longer. Otherwise, if the Qianyuan demon world strikes, you will never escape death. "
"It's the emperor, I'll kill him first."
When the blue-haired man finished speaking, he suddenly appeared behind Zhou An, and stabbed him in the back of the head with a dagger glowing blue.
Zhou An released the Sun Qiankun Bead, and a mask of real sun fire appeared all over his body. The dagger pierced it, which made the mask vibrate, and the blue light on the blade hit the mask.
The black-haired man stretched out his right hand, and a purple-black tiger-headed broadsword appeared. With a loud roar, he jumped up and swung the knife with both hands.
The tiger-headed broadsword turned into a light blade more than ten meters long and slashed down, with the sound of a tiger roaring. The momentum felt that this mountain could hardly bear it.
Nine white fox tails rushed out from behind the woman in white, and pierced Zhou An's body like nine spiral awls with majestic monster aura.
The woman in colorful clothes waved her hands, and colorful mist floated out of her colorful sleeves, forming thousands of colorful butterflies flying towards her.
"Stop!" Wan Yao King exclaimed, but the attack speed of the four people was too fast. When he shouted, the four attacks hit Zhou An at the same time.
The first time the defense of the Sun Universe Bead collapsed, Hua Wuyue raised his left hand, the Moon Universe Bead was released, the power of the sun and the moon merged, and the two opposite and homologous true fires of the Taiyin and Sun merged to form a mask.
No matter how difficult it was for the four people to attack him this time, the black-haired man gritted his teeth and unleashed all his demon power, and the tiger-headed knife could not fall any more. He shouted unwillingly: "Si Chen, you old bastard, hurry up and help, kill You'll be fine with him."
"The Sun Moon Cosmic Pearl is a fairy treasure, and the combination of the sun and the moon cannot be broken by a monk. Let's combine our strength and try." The green-haired man said coldly.
The four were about to attack again, and the Wan Yao King shouted: "Stop the fuck, he is the reincarnation of the eldest brother."
"I don't care whose reincarnation he is, the reincarnation of Da Luo Jinxian is useless." The black-haired man roared, but after a few seconds, the four of them stopped suddenly, their demon power dissipated, and they looked at the Wan Yao King at the same time, their eyes widening.
The woman in colorful clothes asked excitedly: "Brother Si Chen, tell me again, whose reincarnation is he?"
"Except for the eldest brother, the Seven Illusory Demon Lords, who else can let me, the Wan Yao King, recognize me as the eldest brother? Old Hei is reckless, Ajiu, you just do it without asking? Caiyi, you dare to beat the eldest brother? Qingling, how can you compare?" The old black is still a tiger!" The Wan Yao King cried out.
The witch in white immediately looked at Zhou An and asked, "Are you really the reincarnation of Big Brother?"
"What evidence is there? If you are really the reincarnation of the eldest brother, I, Old Hei, will immediately kneel down and kowtow to make amends." The male demon in black stabbed his sword into the ground and yelled.
Zhou An released his psychic demon pupils, his eyes turned purple, looked at the four people and said, "I don't know, I don't have the memory of my previous life, and the Wan Yao King said that I am the reincarnation of the Seven Illusory Demon Lords."
"It's indeed a magical pupil, but how did it turn purple?" Caiyi was pleasantly surprised, but still asked suspiciously.
"It was originally blue, but after I absorbed the magic energy, these eyes also absorbed the magic energy, and it became like this." Zhou An said.
"I can prove this point. At the beginning when the eldest brother first arrived in Wanyao Forest, he was indeed blue. I suspected it at first, and kept checking secretly. Later, he and Hua Wuyue absorbed the devilish energy of Zihe Demon Lord together, and then there was a change. And It is stronger than before, and can control all my demon kings at a glance." Wan Yaowang said.
"It's really big brother!" Fairy Caiyi put away her demonic aura immediately, threw herself on Zhou An, hugged him with a very excited look, shed tears.
Zhou An stretched out his hands, not touching her body, and looked at Hanazuki next to him with an embarrassed face, not knowing whether to push her away, but in fact, he still really likes to be hugged by beautiful women in his heart, as long as she looks good, it doesn't matter if she is human It's a demon.
Hua Wuyue rolled her eyes and snorted, Zhou An stepped back and said, "I'm not sure if this is your big brother's reincarnation."
The green-haired man said: "Brother, I am the Qingling Demon Sage. You were the one who saved me back then, taught me how to cultivate, avenged my Qingpyg clan, and fought with the old demon Tianjue. In the end, you took serious injuries to avenge me. At that time, I told you that I will be your shadow in the future."
