Chapter 140: A few struggles for power
The nobles, princes, and the divine power represented by the temple and the royal family formed a balance in this land and jointly controlled the authority. Although there were struggles, it was peaceful on the surface.
People call it the "Republic period", but this is undoubtedly a fragile peace, and this fragile balance is clearly manifested in the king-
After more than three months of trekking, Jingluo finally returned to the capital. The starting point along the way was to set out alone from Luoyu City, with one man, one sword and one shield on his way back.
This is also a tradition among the great martial arts nobles.
Just as the ruling class of Dayun was divided into three directions, the seemingly one-piece nobles actually had divisions. The simplest way to divide them is to use the dragon nobles, the literary nobles and the martial nobles.
The dragon's name shows its characteristics. This is the first time to send troops with the Great Fall Taizu, which was the dragon's merit. A large part of them were mine slaves who were slaves in the mine cave with the Great Fall Taizu Bianshu.
In the end, Taizu succeeded, and these mine slaves also suffered a lot, but the rest of the people, as well as the descendants of the injured, were treated well by Taizu and given fiefs, forming the original nobles, and this was the Dragons Group.
These initial nobles had the greatest power. Even after several generations of suppression and division, they still had considerable power. In theory, they could organize their own troops, appoint officials, and collect taxes on their own fiefdoms.
However, during these three hundred years, several foreign invasions forced many princes to seek help from outside. As the central government coordinated, the emperor and royal family undoubtedly had the opportunity to intervene in local affairs. In addition, the ruling Duke's recommendation also invisibly condensed the power of the nobles. Although they increased their voice in the royal capital, they were greatly weakened individually. Many of the powers were reduced, which was not obvious from the Dragon Noble. In comparison, the martial nobles were most affected.
Compared with the aristocrats, these martial nobles made contributions mainly by relying on external and civil wars, and then were granted titles, inherited and replaced, becoming the aristocratic class.
This kind of aristocrat has not had high independence and has also had fiefs, but after years of development, the dynasty's ruling structure has gradually improved, so they were subject to many restrictions. In addition, the two ruling officials later integrated the power of many aristocrats, which made them suffer a lot of losses, which was already limited autonomy.
However, the Martial Aristocrats themselves started with Martial Aristocrats. Although many later generations evolved into pure gentry, many traditions were passed down after all, and their descendants were more honored by their ancestors' martial arts. They were often proud of them, and of course, the children of the martial arts family must also follow the tradition.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, go out to temper the training. Then you will cross the vast land alone, go to or return to the capital, and join an army. It is the fate of Wuxun's children.
It was precisely because of this tradition that he came to Luoyu City for trial. Now that the time limit has come, he has just set off to return to the capital, but the road is not peaceful.
The place of the remains at this time has long been beyond recognition compared to before. Even if it is not inferior to the Eastern Continent, it is not inferior to that of the Eastern Continent. However, the development of humanity is still at a relatively primitive level. Not to mention anything else, the complex and changeable road alone is enough to make people feel troublesome - there is no unified dynasty here, and no emperor can mobilize countless manpower and material resources to establish a road, so it is definitely not an easy task to go from one city to another.
Not to mention, along the way, we often encounter ferocious beasts and strong men who robbed the Tao. Even if we are a martial arts disciple, we have martial arts skills, but we can't beat four hands with two fists, and we can't avoid hidden arrows and we can almost hit the Tao several times during this period, and we can only break free from the predicament at the critical moment.
In this process, Qiu Yan, who was dependent on him, did not take action, as if he was just a pure spectator, watching this plot of life, and exploring and examining his heart and qualities.
It has to be said that this plot does not lack courage and firm will, but also has urgent wisdom and wisdom to stay calm in the face of the enemy. It is accompanied by some luck. This plot itself is a low-lying place, which can gather some luck. All these things, coupled with his own struggle and courage, have allowed him to break through many dangers.
But in addition to the rugged road ahead and the dangers on the road, there is another thing that bothers him - that is to distinguish the direction.
In addition to the loneliness of walking alone, how to determine your own direction and ensure the correct way forward is also a big problem. Although I was prepared for it, I still inevitably exposed some problems when I was alone for the first time and I was lost several times.
At this time, Ziluo was not anxious or panicked because of his loss, but moved forward firmly, overcoming obstacles, and moving forward firmly until he found the traces, immediately asked, and then took out the map on his body, determined the direction, and embarked on the road again.
In this way, I decided to move forward in twists and turns, stop and walk, and finally return to the capital.
Of course, it was back for Jingluan, but for Qiu Yan, it was his first time to set foot on this land.
As the center of the entire dynasty, the capital is much more prosperous than Luoyu City. There are many obvious stone houses in the city, and they look grand and grand, making people feel open-minded at first glance.
The pedestrians walking on this street are also dressed in different ways. Some of them can be clearly seen as not being the people from the Yuanhe River Basin. They don’t know whether they are from the frontier or from the foreign tribes on all sides, but they are all gathered in a city. Although they can see the barriers between them, they all live in a city on the surface, forming a strange harmony and revealing a compatible atmosphere.
"Although this city is inferior to any city in the Darui Dynasty, there is a considerable gap in scale and population, it is far beyond the will and demeanor of the city, and it is even inferior to Xingjing, and it has a rough smell."
Qiu Yan's inner demon body slowly expanded the moment he planned to set foot in the royal city, and gathered along several low-lying places in the city.
Along the way, many people with the blood of the mind demon were captured by his perception, and a lot of information came from him, which made Qiu Yan have an extensive understanding of the entire royal city in an instant and continue to deepen.
But the next moment, Qiu Yan's heart suddenly moved, and his thoughts contracted and returned to Jingluo's body.
"Sure enough, there is a problem. It seems that someone was scanning the city with his divine thoughts and noticed my consciousness fluctuations. I just don't know if the other party has a clear feeling. However, this method of using divine thoughts is definitely not something that the locals in the ruins can use. From this point of view, there is indeed an external force behind this, and this royal city is not peaceful..."
Just as Qiu Yan was feeling, he could clearly notice that the fortune in this city fluctuated rapidly, like a stream that was originally flowing peacefully, being smashed into it by a big rock, rippling with layers of waves.
"The other party really discovered me, but I don't know what methods I will use..."
Qiu Yan felt a sense of hostility from the rapidly fluctuating luck. Obviously, the other party could not let the luck be interfered with by others. This kind of competition involved many concepts, and once it unfolded, it would not be easily calmed down.
……………………
At the same time, in the center of this royal city, in the tall building similar to a pyramid, the Great Fallen King wearing a crown and holding a scepter was looking down at the entire city-
The top of the building is not sealed, but is supported by nine and a half-giant pillars, transparent in all directions, and a throne is located on the central platform.
"You say that my king's power is under threat?"
The contemporary Great Moon King has bright eyes, but it reveals indifference and coldness, as if sitting in the nine heavens, looking down at the gods of all living beings. There was no expression on that handsome face, and it looked like there was no wave in the ancient well.
His body is very tall and strong. He sits on a huge throne, but he is taller than ordinary people.
The king whispered, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his words: "If you say that threatening the royal power is nothing more dangerous than your temple, do you want to reveal the secrets in the temple to this king to know?"
His words were passed peacefully and entered the steps of the high platform, and a man wearing silk was heard.
The man looked about thirty years old, and the silk was covered half of his body, fixed by a crystal gem on his shoulder.
"My king," the man smiled calmly after hearing this, "It was not the temple that threatened the royal power, but the two ruling officials and the gentry behind them."
"Oh?" The Great Flying King on the throne looked motionless, but shook his head, "The ruling Duke may have the intention to fight for power, but their foundation is the orthodox of my Great Flying Royal Family. As long as the royal family does not lose their power, there is no reason to be abandoned by them."
"Of course they will not abandon the royal family," the man at the stairs smiled, "but he intends to make the royal family a god in the temple and be worshipped high, but he cannot reach out to the mortal world."
"Huh?" The king finally had a little fluctuation in his expression, "How can I explain this? I know that the temple has great magical powers and ears and ears are everywhere. Is there any news that I don't know?"
"That's true," the men at the ranks did not avoid the hidden meaning in the king's words. "The ruling Duke and the gentry have been constantly eroding the king's power in the past hundred years, which has made the current genius. The government orders and the ten laws are all from the ruling Pavilion, but after all, the reputation is not right. Therefore, they intend to turn this ruling Pavilion into substance and formally establish an organization elected by the genius. Exercise power with a righteous and open manner. Once the matter is done, can the king know the interests?"
"You want to make a name clear?" A little bit of lust burst out from the indifferent eyes of the Great Moon King. "This appetite is really great, but how can you know it's not the temple's nonsense?"
The man below the steps shook his head and said, "There is a clue in this matter. Do you still remember what you meant to say at the banquet three days ago?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
