Chapter 218 Chaos in the Royal Family
The Dali Dynasty is not peaceful, and the outside of Dali is also not peaceful.

The reappearance of the Canglong Order made everyone Yinxiu understand that someone was behind the scenes.

Although they had guessed that the new Canglong Token was fake, they still didn't let it go.

They had just finished tossing about the Great Jin Dynasty, and went to the Great Zhou Dynasty again.

Needless to say, after a lot of trouble, they got another fake brand.

However, the matter was not over yet. A few days later, news of the Canglong Order appeared in the Dali Dynasty, the Western Buddhist Kingdom, the Dongying Dynasty, the Northwest Grassland, and all the Wuman tribes.

This made the major hermit sects extremely annoyed, and they all gritted their teeth and wanted to find out who was behind the scenes.

But the real behind-the-scenes person, Zheng Ming, was listening to Yuhuatian's report in the palace.

"Your Majesty, we have found information on twenty Grand Masters in total, including four from Beisheng Palace, three from Nansheng Palace, three from Xisheng Palace, two from Wuji Palace, two from Tianwaizong, two from Misty City, and Tianqiong. There are two sects, and two imperial sects. Except for Tianqiongzong and Yufazong, the residences of other hermit sects have been ascertained."

Yuhuatian said slowly.

Zheng Ming looked at the information in the book, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Although there was no real gain this time, there was a lot of intelligence gain.

The top ten hermit sects, twenty great masters, and the unexpected appearance of Ling Yuanzi, these information gave him a general understanding of hermit, and he was no longer as confused as before.

"Let's file this information, and stop the investigation of the Yinxiu sect. Apart from keeping in touch with Xunxian Temple, don't meddle in the affairs of the Yinxiu sect." Zheng Ming ordered.

At present, Zheng Ming's focus is still within the imperial dynasty, and it is not yet time to intervene in the hermit sect.

For him, the most important thing is to develop the Dali Dynasty, win the hearts of the people, and accumulate luck.

As for the others, we will wait until the Fairy Spirit Palace is born.

And because of the appearance of the Canglong Order, the situation among the hermit sects became turbulent, and a battle might break out next.

Zheng Ming didn't want Dali to participate in the struggle of the hermit sect.

"Your servant understands. But do you want to get back the real Canglong Token?" Yu Huatian asked.

Zheng Ming thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's put it in Dongying Dynasty first, maybe it will be used in the future."

Although there are many secret methods of the Four Spirits Sacred Palace in the Canglong Order, they are not very attractive to him.

In contrast, Zheng Ming wanted to use the Canglong Token to trick the hidden sect again.

After a while, throwing out the real Canglong Token will definitely cause a bigger storm.

……

The turmoil between the hidden sects has gradually subsided, but the turmoil within Dali has just started.

The new tax system has violated the interests of too many people, and no one is willing to hand over their interests to others.

But first of all, it was the royal family who couldn't hold back.

The royal family is the largest family in the Dali Dynasty, and it is also the biggest exploiter in the Dali Dynasty.

The royal family is divided into Mingmai and Yinmai. Yinmai lives in the imperial mausoleum and focuses on cultivation. It consumes a lot of resources every year, and these must be provided by the court.

But compared to the hidden veins, the bright veins are the biggest moth on the Dali dynasty. The Dali inheritance has been passed down for 500 years, and the number of Mingmaids in the royal family has exceeded 200,000. Tian, ​​and is still eating away at the court's tax revenue.

To be honest, the royal family is no less harmful to Dali than the Bailianzong.

The lobby of the clan mansion.

If someone is here at this time, they will find that this usually leisurely clan mansion has gathered a lot of dignitaries of the royal family.

For a long time, the royal family has been entrusted in various parts of the dynasty, and they rarely come to the capital, but this time the situation is different. They actually gathered in the capital in just a few days, obviously already in a hurry.

At this time, the clan mansion was very lively.

The princes and county kings sat in the hall and told their grievances. They looked so angry that they thought they had been cheated.

However, Zheng Ziyuan, the Zongling Li Wang of the Clan Mansion, was sitting on the main seat, his old face was calm, and he was enjoying the sweet tea leisurely.

"Uncle Emperor, we brothers have always kept to ourselves and have never had any disagreements, but His Majesty's behavior is really against the emperor's demeanor."

"That's right, when the first emperor personally conquered the Bailianzong, we also contributed a lot of money, but now that the Bailianzong has just been destroyed, His Majesty is so mean, how should we deal with it?"

"We, the royal family, are born noble, how can we pay taxes like the pariah? Doesn't this mean that we are no different from the pariah?"

"Uncle Huang, is Your Majesty being deceived by others? Your Majesty shouldn't be harshly criticizing the same clan."

Everyone opened their mouths and chattered endlessly.

Zheng Ziyuan sat firmly on the throne, as if nothing had happened.

"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang~~" Someone shouted impatiently.

"Ah! King Lu, what's the matter?"

Zheng Ziyuan seemed to have just woken up from deafness, and looked at King Lu in amazement.

"Uncle Huang, you have to decide for us!" King Lu said.

Zheng Ziyuan looked at him in confusion, and said, "What did you say?"

King Lu was slightly stunned, but he repeated: "Uncle Huang, your Majesty treats your fellow clan so harshly, you have to be the master for us."

Zheng Ziyuan was stunned, and said: "Your Majesty wants to accept a concubine! You want me to present the gift!"

"I said, why are you all here today? It turns out that His Majesty is overjoyed!"

"..."

Everyone was speechless and looked at him inexplicably together.

This is all a mess.

Zheng Ziyuan said to himself: "It's strange, Your Majesty is overjoyed, why didn't the empress dowager inform the king in advance?"

"Song'er, Song'er, go to the palace and ask, how are your majesty's wedding preparations going?"

Outside the hall, a young man walked to the door, looked at Zheng Ziyuan and scratched his head.

But he quickly said: "Grandson will go now."

"Go, go, don't delay your majesty's happy event." Zheng Ziyuan waved his hand.

Everyone in the hall was very annoyed watching their grandparents acting.

"Uncle Huang, now is not the time to joke around." King Lu said angrily.

"Ah, you want to go together!" Zheng Ziyuan looked at him and said.

"Uncle Emperor, you~~" King Lu was anxious, pointing at Zheng Ziyuan.

However, Zheng Ziyuan pretended not to see it, picked up the tea and took a sip.

Seeing this, King Lu was furious, but he had nothing to do with Zheng Ziyuan.

Angrily, he flicked his sleeves, and said: "The royal family pays taxes, and you will not be able to avoid paying tribute to the palace. When the time comes, the emperor must not regret it."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Seeing this, other people in the hall couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

The leader is gone, and it doesn't seem interesting for them to stay here.

So, after a while, the lively lobby became quiet.

After they all left, Zheng Song emerged from the corridor next to him.

"Grandpa, the palace said that His Majesty has no concubines." He said with a smile.

"Go, I don't know if there is your grandfather." Zheng Ziyuan stopped pretending to be deaf and said angrily.

"Hey, grandpa, you've offended all the uncles badly now." Zheng Song laughed.

Zheng Ziyuan said nonchalantly: "Offending them is better than offending His Majesty. These bastards actually want me, an old man, to stand out. I really think I'm a fool."

Zheng Songdao: "But I'm afraid this matter is not over yet. If Grandpa doesn't show up, they will probably think of other ways."

"Never mind them, from now on, your grandpa and I are sick, so we will close the door to thank you, and we won't see anyone." Zheng Ziyuan said.

"Where's Your Majesty?" Zheng Song blinked.

"You brat!" Zheng Ziyuan slapped him angrily.

……

Guiyun Province, Bailian City.

Since the fall of Bailianzong, this place has been blocked by the imperial guards. Du Ruhui led the officials of the household department to check the inheritance of Bailianzong.

After several months, although the gold and silver of Bailianzong have been checked and sent to the capital, there are still many classics and collections that have not been counted yet.

And the three Zheng Ziming brothers have been guarding here to prevent Xiao Xiaoxiao from coming to make trouble.

At this time, the three of them were in a courtyard.

Old tree, stone table, clear tea, three old men are drinking tea together.

"Tsk tsk, within two days, more than a dozen letters have been sent, all of which have the same meaning, asking us to be the masters of the royal family, hehe, it's really interesting."

Zheng Zimu looked at the letter in his hand and smiled disdainfully.

Zheng Zishan also picked up a letter and read it. After reading it, he couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty's move is likely to cause big trouble."

"What's wrong?" Zheng Ziming said softly while drinking tea leisurely.

Zheng Zishan said: "The royal family will be dissatisfied with this, and noble princes, aristocratic families, and sect forces will all be dissatisfied with this. Is this not chaotic enough?"

"You, you really lived more than 100 years in vain, and you haven't seen through it at all." Zheng Ziming said.

Zheng Zishan looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Which point?"

"Whether the world is chaotic or not, His Majesty has the final say, whoever is dissatisfied and whoever stands out will be unlucky." Zheng Ziming said.

Zheng Zimu nodded, and said: "With His Majesty's temperament, whoever jumps out at this time will definitely seek death."

All three of them had contact with Zheng Ming and knew Zheng Ming's character very well.

On the surface, Zheng Ming looked like a gentle and elegant son of a family, but they all knew that Zheng Ming was full of imperial domineering in his heart.

Zheng Zishan frowned slightly, and said: "I still feel that His Majesty is a little anxious. Now that the world has just stabilized, and the Governor's Mansion and the military are still undergoing restructuring, His Majesty is so eager to promote the new tax system, which will inevitably cause turmoil."

Zheng Ziming said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty has decided to act, he will naturally be fully prepared."

"This matter has nothing to do with us, we don't need to worry about it."

They are the hidden veins of the royal family, and they only pay attention to cultivation.

Even if they pay taxes, they are deducted from their salary. It doesn't matter if their salary is less, after all, they live in the imperial tomb and don't need much money.

"What if His Majesty cuts off our cultivation resources?" Zheng Zishan said after a moment of hesitation.

Zheng Ziming looked up at him, like looking at a fool.

"Why does Your Majesty want to cut off our cultivation resources?"

Zheng Zishan thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

He seemed to be asking a silly question.
