Chapter 306 Clan
Although he didn't know why this group of aristocratic families liked Ai so much, Lu Ang ordered Ai to reject their solicitation and drive them away. After the temporary servants finished repairing and cleaning the house, he directly chose to close the door and thank the guests.

Places like Dragon Palace and Feng Mansion must be the top secret of the royal family. There are so many people in the royal family, the Yan family, so not everyone may know it. Most likely, only some high-ranking royal elders know the exact location.

The matter was of great importance, and Lu Ang did not know much about the royal family. He planned to inquire carefully for a while and collect enough information before taking action.

After leaving enough food for Ai, Lu Ang activated the spatial phase and began to passively inquire about some inns around the palace, as well as the residences of some small families and officials.

Soon, half a month passed. After countless eavesdropping and intelligence summarization, Lu Ang finally had a certain understanding of the royal family.

The clan style of the Yan royal family was different from the dynasties he had seen in his previous life. Perhaps because of their magical powers, they did not have a stable inheritance tradition of father to son.

Every time the Dragon Palace recruits a son-in-law, all boys from the Yan clan, ranging from sixteen to twenty, need to participate. Every time the Feng Mansion chooses a bride, all girls must be recognized and learn supernatural powers to become the emperor's heirs. Bit.

Only when an entire generation fails to pass the examination of Dragon Palace and Phoenix Palace, will the heirs of the former emperor be selected to succeed the throne.

In the many years since the establishment of the Yu Dynasty, it has actually been a rare case that no one passed the examination. In most cases, someone succeeded, and only one person succeeded. These Tiangang emperors relied on their strong strength to ensure the stability of the throne. Dispelled the covetousness of others.

It may be because of this reason that no one passed the examination for two consecutive generations before, so the third-generation princes started a battle to seize the throne.

That is the generation of the current emperor himself, the generation of the current emperor's father, and the generation of the current emperor's descendants. They are only the main line, not the side branches. The others are all the same as common people. They have neither salaries nor residences, nor any preferential treatment.

Just like now, the only officially registered royal family members are an elder brother, a younger brother, a younger sister of the late emperor, several brothers and sisters of the current Emperor Feng, and some of these brothers and sisters are still there There were a few babies babbling, and there were no more than twenty people in total.

I heard that this guy took people there when the Dragon Palace recruited a son-in-law and the Feng Mansion chose a bride, so he should know where the Dragon Palace is.

It may also be because of this inheritance system that the feelings between the royal clan are extremely indifferent. As a result, there is no hereditary replacement. The princes and princesses who receive salaries from generation to generation enjoy royal offerings and enjoy the royal family in accordance with the rules of the Yan royal family. Only the three generations of direct descendants are privileged.

Among them, the elder brother of the late emperor is now Zong Zhengqing of Zongzheng Temple. He is in charge of all royal family affairs and royal assets in various places. He holds a high and powerful position.

However, I heard that these people would be assigned to work in the royal estates, as well as in some mines and salt fields, and hold management positions. They would not be rich and powerful, but they would still have food and clothing, and the emperor would feel more comfortable using his own family.

It's a pity that after a few days of observation, I found that this guy is really difficult to catch. Zongzheng Temple is in the palace. He lives in Zongzheng Temple on weekdays and rarely goes home. The entire palace is shrouded in an invisible barrier. It will be sensed upon encounter.

And Paai's plan to become a royal servant also went bankrupt.

The royal family is different from those aristocratic families. They do not recruit guests from outside. The royal family naturally has its own magical power, but they are all royal children who are accumulated from the royal resources. All of them have the surname Yan, and they are all one family. The number of this team is unknown, but it is said that there are more than a hundred people. Thanks to the royal family's thousands of years of accumulation, although they do not have the power of Gui Xiu or the power of Disha, they are also extremely powerful. They are all outstanding people below Disha and have learned magical powers. They are also different and have extraordinary uses.

This team is also directly led by Zongzhengji, but it rarely takes action. The most recent one was the battle in Qiufengyuan, which was said to have suffered heavy losses.

As for why the royal family does not recruit outsiders, the reason is also very simple. Because there is a department called the Shentong Department, which is the department where the imperial court recruits masters of casual cultivators. In essence, it serves the royal family, and there is no need to build another one.

As for why those aristocratic families like Ai so much, they still send people to keep an eye on the house for so many days and often send people to visit.

The reason is also very simple. Firstly, Ai's strength shown at the gate of the city is indeed high enough. Under the Thunder Chakra, the pure physical destructive power can be said to be the best among the Earthly Demons. Talents are rare.

Secondly, because of their appearance and skin color, they regarded him as a visitor from the Western Regions. It is said that during the heyday of the Yu Dynasty in the past, many countries in the Western Regions came to pay tribute and had close contacts. Many times, there would be supernatural powers from the Western Regions. Enter Beijing.

Many of these magical warriors from the Western Regions have been recruited by various aristocratic families as guest guests, and have excellent reputations. They are famous for being loyal, brave, not afraid of death, doing things without compromise, and not having so much greed and ambition. Easy to use.

There are even many of these magical warriors from the Western Regions who are so loyal that they risk their lives for their masters, or chase the murderers for thousands of miles, kill the enemies who murder their masters, or offer their own secret medicine to their masters, and suffer the price for themselves. Famous death stories.

These stories also mean that these aristocratic families are proud to have a magician from the Western Regions as their guest. For example, the Black King Kong who was invited by Mu Yunkuan, the master of the black market, to invite Lu Ang to the underground palace, is a serious Western Regions man. Psychic.

But now, due to going south and cutting off the trade routes with the Western Regions, no magicians from the Western Regions have appeared for a long time.

After collecting so much information and thinking about it repeatedly, Lu Ang decided to let Ai agree to the recruitment of the Shangguan family by the Imperial Guard and become a guest of the Shangguan family.

The reason is also very simple. The Shangguan family's residence is very close to the palace, only one street away. Moreover, the Shangguan family controls the imperial guards, so they don't have to go out to work. If there is a chance, Ai can even follow into the palace and observe the royal family members closely. It's very convenient for everyone.

The Shangguan family also attaches great importance to Ai, not only giving him a monthly salary of one thousand gold, but also promising him an unlimited supply of ordinary secret medicine, as well as a thunder-type [Palm Thunder] supernatural power.

This is a top-notch magical power that can release thunder in the hand and strike dozens of meters away. It is famous for its quick release and powerful power. Lu Ang feels that it is very suitable for Ai.

With Ai, who was often taken by the head of the Shangguan family as a bodyguard and showed off to his colleagues and friends, Lu Ang finally had an extra pair of eyes that could penetrate deeply into the palace.

After more than half a month of observation and determination, Lu Ang finally selected a suitable target.

It’s decided that it’s you, former Crown Prince Yan Congcan!
