Chapter 1108 Rules rely on power
Jiang Ding followed King Shenshan and walked towards the imperial palace step by step, as if walking into the bloody mouth of an ancient beast.
This imperial palace, said to be an imperial palace, is actually an extremely vast and majestic palace complex. Many high-ranking kings of the Yanshi family, as well as many blood relatives of the emperor, live here.
This place has the best spiritual energy concentration in the Flame Stone Star Region and the most excellent body training treasure land. Countless strong men from the Flame Stone Star Region spent their youth here.
As for the Great Emperor, he is not here. The Small Thousand World is too small for him. Although it is bearable, it is not a suitable place to live.
The emperor's true residence is in the starry sky.
After walking for a moment, Jiang Ding showed a look of surprise.
"This direction doesn't seem to be where the Prince's Palace of the Flame Emperor's son is located?"
he said unexpectedly.
"King of Blood River, you should call the emperor your lord."
The Demon Mountain King didn't know when he would arrive, so he said coldly: "The Emperor doesn't want to see you right now. You have been arranged in the Hudian, waiting for the time when the Emperor wants to summon you."
"As for the time, it depends on the emperor's mood."
"Really?"
The Blood River King smiled.
The kings were very fast, and in just a moment, they arrived at a small, cramped, and very old palace. It was called a palace, but it was actually a small three-story building. It looked very shabby in every aspect.
This is the household hall of the Yanshi family, an organization in charge of the financial and taxation management of more than ten small worlds. It has great powers and responsibilities, but at the same time, its status is low and it has been artificially suppressed, forming a certain balance.
The main personnel of the Hudian are all slaves of the seventh, eighth or ninth grade. The members of the Yanshi family are only supervisors and have no actual duties.
This was a change brought about by King Blood River when he was in charge of the Zhenghu Palace. The reason was that only slaves would be absolutely loyal to the emperor. The sons and daughters of the emperor would not be corrupt and could create the most benefits for the emperor.
The result was indeed as he expected.
The slaves have the slave mark and can be killed at any time. Unlike the members of the Yanshi family who hold themselves to the emperor's relatives and have the confidence to use their hands, resulting in low efficiency and a lot of waste.
During the reign of King Blood River, various industries of the entire Yanshi family flourished, and taxes soared by 30%.
This is 30% of the eleven small thousand worlds!
This was a huge amount of wealth, and the Blood River King rose to prominence because of it, being promoted to a god, and even reached the peak of god transformation.
The price is to offend all the kings of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan, and the king of the Slave Clan is a true lone minister.
The Blood River King's fake death that year was not only because he really wanted to spy on the emperor's territory, but also the crazy plotting by many kings of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan and the kings of the Slave Clan. It can be said that the world is full of enemies.
Now, it is appropriate for a Blood River King to be placed in a narrow and cramped household hall.
For an invincible king in the Flame Stone Star Territory, being placed here is obviously humiliating and does not suit his status.
"Hudian..."
Jiang Ding showed a nostalgic look, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he found that many of the office staff inside had become members of the Horned Demon Emperor clan. The slave clan was just serving people and did not participate in tax work. There was some kind of counterattack by the old forces. , couldn't help but smile: "My reform has been abolished?"
"Relying on blood relatives and cultivating blood relatives is the way to go."
King Shenshan sneered and said: "You evil devil, you just succeeded with your treachery for a while, but you still want to continue to bewitch the emperor?"
"Haha, that's true."
Jiang Ding laughed: "However, based on my calculations, this should be just a temporary compromise for Emperor Yanliu to appease him. When he gets a firm footing, he will probably restart my reforms. You are so righteous." Empty words about righteousness are of no use.”
"No matter how upright and majestic it is, it is too vain compared with the watery spirit stone."
"Besides, you are weak and unable to stop us."
The so-called constraints of the bureaucracy are of no use to a strong man who possesses great power. If a group of people refuses to obey, just kill a group of them. It is really too much to think about using seniority and righteousness to suppress the other party.
There was a reason why the Blood River King was able to successfully reform back then.
"You are a slave and short-sighted, how can you guess the emperor's thoughts?" King Shenshan scolded with a gloomy face.
At some point, after entering this palace, he became more and more courageous, and even dared to scold the Blood River King, even though he had always been cautious outside the palace.
"Haha! Interesting!"
Jiang Ding laughed louder and louder.
"The Blood River King."
"The Emperor orders you to hand over the Emperor Cangkong, hand it over immediately!"
King Shen Shan became impatient, and said in a commanding tone with a sullen face, "No more politeness, why bother?"
The Cangkong Emperor's son is still captured by the Blood River King. It is impossible for him to die, because he has the protection method of the Cangyan Ancient Emperor and cannot be killed by any living being other than the emperor's son.
The Blood River King can seal, humiliate, defeat Emperor Cangkong, and even cut off his arm, it doesn't matter. In the eyes of the Emperor, this is all necessary training and he won't care about anything.
But this does not include the life of Emperor Cangkong.
Only the emperor's son can kill the emperor's son.
The Emperor of the Blue Sky is now sealed and not dead yet, which means that the battle between the Emperor and the Son is not over yet, and the Emperor of Flame Stream cannot truly take the crown of the Emperor.
"What if I don't pay?"
Jiang Ding asked.
Wisps of murderous intent bloomed unknowingly.
King Shenshan and King Demonic Mountain shuddered subconsciously, their hearts surrounded by fear and waves of blood, just like mortals facing a fierce tiger, as if they were about to die in the next moment, without any resistance.
The gap between them is so terrifying!
After truly facing an invincible king, a king comparable to a king-level emperor, the two of them knew in their hearts how those dozens of kings of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan died.
"You can give it a try."
King Shen Shan said in a cold tone, word by word.
Even in this situation, he still dared to threaten, so forcefully.
"...Is that so?"
Jiang Ding was silent, understanding something.
In the battle between emperors and sons, the emperor will not intervene, and many emperor-level formations will not appear. This is the rule of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan.
However, there are no rules in the world that are ironclad and can never be shaken.
The implementation of all rules and laws must be supported by force, otherwise they will be just words written on paper without any meaning.
The same is true for this battle between emperor and son.
The smooth progress of the Emperor-Son War depends entirely on the mutual confrontation and balance between Cang Yan Ancient Emperor and Flame Stone Emperor, as well as the tradition of the Horned Demon Emperor Clan, and political correctness. Only in this way can the Emperor-Son War proceed fairly.
They are the makers and leaders of the rules, not the ones who follow them.
In this case, a slave wants to rely on so-called rules to fight against and restrain the emperor?
What a joke.
If you want the emperor to abide by the rules, you must have an emperor to support you!
But now, it is impossible for the Ancient Cangyan Emperor behind Emperor Cangkong to support the Blood River King, so the so-called rules are no longer rules.
This is not a program, it can be exploited as long as it has loopholes.
"Take it."
Jiang Ding smiled, took out a blood cocoon of equal height and handed it to the two kings.
The Blood River King's only chance of survival from beginning to end is his own value, and he may become the slave emperor of the Yanshi family.
That's it, nothing more.
