The real reason for this situation, coming back to the subject, is still the fault of King Feng.
There are rumors outside that Feng Wang is so beautiful and pretty, regardless of gender. Anyway, as long as she is good-looking and catches her eye, she will accept anyone who comes.
He likes the new and hates the old.
When she was in Lianzhou, the number of darlings in the imperial concubine's palace was in the three digits, but when she returned to Beijing, she didn't take any of her with her. Now, the number of darlings in the Feng Prince's palace in central Beijing has already exceeded three digits.
Finding out the preferences of the people in charge of a place is a businessman's specialty and the foundation of his foundation. In addition, Feng Wang has never concealed his preferences, so...
Each of the four current families in Niyuan Town has a male favorite of King Feng when he was in Lianzhou.
These four male darlings are amazing. At least compared to other darlings, the four of them are the ones who have been with her almost from the beginning to the end when Feng Wang was in Lianzhou. They are already at the level of confidants no matter how you look at it.
.
Naturally, the four of them and the families behind them have benefited the most, and their values have increased; for example, some members of the family can serve as managers in the silver mining area.
After King Feng returned to Beijing, he focused mainly on seizing power with her/mother, and had less energy to manage Niyuan Town. Anyway, as long as the silver from the silver mine was handed over on time, there would be no problem.
Although these four male darlings did not follow them to the capital, King Feng left the silver mine to them before leaving, which was enough to show the difference between these four people.
Therefore, in Niyuan Town, the rights of these four families in Niyuan Town are greater than those of the government affiliated to the imperial court.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
How should I put it? It seems to be related to the Phoenix King. Everything is quite unreliable, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
That's right, this person really didn't show any shame in order to achieve his goal, and even tore him apart himself.
"Wait a minute, isn't this what we should be curious about?"
Crown Prince Renyin was very puzzled and looked around to the left. He didn't quite understand why he wanted to inquire about this?
The Suzaku Country is not their country, so why should they care about this?
In other words, shouldn't they be happier as the Suzaku Kingdom becomes more chaotic?
The real purpose of their coming to Zhuque is Qidong, those unknown number of troops, one alive and one dead.
The three of them looked at each other and fell silent.
Was this person really the crown prince during his lifetime?
After a while, Eunuch Lin still had the courage to say in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the prince wants to know this because he wants to know where the living and dead army in the hands of King Feng is hidden?"
Perhaps it was because he was more emboldened now that he was more comfortable outside, and because of Qi Baoer's connivance either intentionally or unintentionally, Eunuch Lin was a little shaky at first when he spoke, but then he became more and more smooth.
"From the uninhabited villages we saw on the mountain, and from what Fat Aunt said when they arrived in Niyuan Town a few years ago, Niyuan Town was also empty, we can roughly guess that King Feng at least started with
He used the people in his fiefdom to create life and death.
Secondly, judging from the fact that King Feng was very beautiful but did not bring a beloved child back to the capital, Lianzhou was very important to King Feng, and it was not like he was not ready to come back after leaving.
In other words, there are things in Lianzhou that are very important to King Feng."
Many things on the top level cannot be seen through the superficial skills shown by the other party. Everyone knows that King Feng is beautiful and lustful, but who can guarantee that King Feng's so-called darlings are just darlings and not his subordinates or even advisers?
At least for Eunuch Lin, it is unbelievable to say that Feng Wang is so beautiful and sexy, yet he likes the new and gets tired of the old very quickly.
And the fact that each of the four families in Niyuan Town has a ‘favorite’, and each family now manages one or two mines, basically proves that those so-called ‘favorites’ are not really their favorites.
By analogy, then the question arises, why did Feng Wang, who came to Beijing to confront the Suzaku Emperor, not have any of his former ‘favorites’ with him?
There is only one possibility. Lianzhou is very important to Feng Wang. Even if it is not a base, there are also vital things hidden here.
It is not difficult to guess that it is something that is very important to the current Phoenix King but still needs to be hidden, isn't it?
Apart from money, the Phoenix King, who could compete head-to-head with the Suzaku Emperor, no longer needed to hide his military strength. The only thing left was the vital thing of a living or dead army.
Crown Prince Renyin had obviously thought of this as his eyes darkened, "If King Feng's army is in Lianzhou, it is most likely that it is hidden in some mountain."
Yuchi had different opinions on this, "When a person appeared alive and dead in Yingzhou, his subordinates also followed the emperor [who was still the prince at that time] to hang/kill a person alive and dead. It is true that some were hidden in the mountains, but there were also many who were just there.
Underground in town.”
In front of ordinary people like them, it is better to hide alive and dead than human beings.
They are inanimate, do not breathe, do not need to eat, and have no need for excretion. They are dead when no one handles them. They can just be placed in any place that is sealed tightly and dug deeply. If you leave them alone for a few years, they will be fine. You can also find them.
Less than.
This was also the troublesome part of their trip. Even for Ancestor Xuanqing and Qi Baoer, it was not easy to find a hiding place for an army of one living and one dead in the huge Suzaku Kingdom.
The three of them discussed for a while and then dispersed. Qi Bao'er put an invisibility charm on his body, and he and Ancestor Xuan Qing prepared to wander around Lianzhou.
Since they were in Niyuan Town, they simply stayed in Niyuan Town first, and the most valuable thing for them to visit in Niyuan Town was the four families who were in charge of the mines.
By coincidence, when one person floated to the Feng family, which was closest to them among the four families, the current head of the Feng family was having a secret conversation with members of the other three families in a small study room.
Ren Yipiao stood outside the window and listened for a while, and roughly came to the core content of their meeting - King Feng wanted money, but they didn't want to give it.
What's going on?
It turns out that King Feng had made an agreement with the four of them when he left. The silver mined here would be given away once every six months, and the silver earned from the coal mine would be given away once a year.
But King Feng seems to be in urgent need of money since the end of last year. They have sent money to the capital three times this year, but a few days ago King Feng came again and sent a letter to the capital asking them to send money to Beijing.
The Phoenix King holds in his hands an army of living and dead people that can fight against the Suzaku Emperor. Naturally, this army can intimidate the next person even more.
On the surface, she is just asking for mine silver, but in fact, she is asking the four people to dig into their own pockets.
The four people didn't dare to say no, so they could only endure it.
The reason why we had endured it for a year and suddenly decided to have a secret conversation together was because of the Eleventh Prince.
The Eleventh Prince's fief is right next door to King Feng's fief. In the past, when King Feng was stationed in Lianzhou, he lived a very miserable life, which was not only embarrassing in the literal sense [the common people in his own fief were tricked and taken away by King Feng]
], King Feng would also 'borrow money' from him from time to time, but he never had to pay it back.
For the same reason, King Feng had an army of people alive and dead at his disposal, and no matter how unhappy he was, he did not dare to show his displeasure.
It can be said that Phoenix King can destroy all things with one sword in his hand.
However, after King Feng left the fiefdom and returned to the capital to confront the Suzaku Emperor, the eleven princes gradually began to fight. After all, he was still a prince after all, and King Feng's absence meant that he was the biggest in both fiefdoms.
As for whether he can control the power of King Feng in Lianzhou, as long as there is food, there are really not many corners that cannot be pried among the children of Princess Suzaku.
