The first butterfly image: the empress ascends the throne.
Because Jiang Chen rescued the two twin shark girls and the other three hundred shark girls, Princess Ping An was in a good mood.
She is so good that she is too lazy to be the emperor... Of course, she is not that material.
However, the prince refused to ascend the throne on the grounds of recuperation and insisted on giving up the throne to his sister. Princess Ping An could not refuse, so she had no choice but to ascend the throne and become the first female emperor in the history of the Huo Fen Kingdom.
Later, she named the imperial grandmother the Empress Dowager Shenwu and continued to assist the government from behind the curtain.
He also made Jiang Chen the emperor and commanded the Imperial Forest Army.
After ascending the throne, she immediately issued the first decree, which will grant monster status to monsters living in Xiyang City who have never harmed anyone, giving them the same rights as humans.
It will be piloted in Xiyang City for one year first, and if there are no special circumstances after one year, it can be gradually extended to the whole country.
Princess... No, the empress took the lead in hiring more than 300 shark maidens as maids. If there is a need for pearl fishing, additional money will be added.
Jiang Chen suspected that the princess knew that the Queen Mother was a fox demon or was possessed by a fox demon.
The Queen Mother did indeed protect the people of Xiyang City.
And after the battle to protect the city, he gave equal weight to kindness and power, with clear rewards and punishments.
Re-employ many young generals who have done meritorious service in protecting the city, and send people to kill those generals who disobey the edict.
The cooperative relationship with the Beast Control Sect has been terminated, and a friendly relationship will be established with the Qinglan Sect, and cooperation will be launched in the field of Flame Vein Casting Artifacts.
As expected of someone who has listened to politics behind the curtain for many years, he is truly a master at governing the country!
However, the empress's decree on demon status somewhat deviates from the policies of the Daqian Dynasty. It is still unclear whether it will be successful or not.
Jiang Chen felt a little unhappy because neither the empress nor the empress dowager said they would come to save him...
"These two heartless women!"
…
The second butterfly image: Xiga Jiange.
Jiange was the local administrative organization of the Daqian Dynasty.
It consists of official institutions such as the state capital, Tiancai Yuan, Yudao Army, Prison Suppression Department, and Daqian Academy.
The Sword Pavilion is a five-cornered nine-story tower that towers into the sky, like a giant sword thrust upside down.
On the top of the Sword Pavilion, there are five giant swords hanging in the air on the same plane, with the sword tips facing inward and surrounded by purple light. They face each other in a five-cornered form, forming a five-sword teleportation formation.
The Five Swords Teleportation Array can pass through a large airship that can accommodate a thousand people at a time.
In other words, it can mobilize the army faster than the Tianmo Sect can attack the city.
Unfortunately, we can only manage one state capital, Xihe City.
Nishi Heshu is too big...
No matter how many troops there are, they are not enough. We can only use the Yudao Army and the Prison Control Department to eradicate those disobedient counties, or the demon clans and demon sects that often cause trouble.
In Xihe Prefecture, the comprehensive national strength of the Fire Nation is not even ranked among the top five hundred.
Therefore, even if such a big change occurs in Xiyang City, if the news reaches Xihe City, it will be just a small incident in the long list of major events.
It was Yuwen Chan's demonic decree that slightly attracted the attention of several state deacons.
"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. These counties really don't know the heights of the world, and they know nothing about the terror of the great demon."
"This is the ninth country to grant human rights to monsters in the past ten years. Fortunately, the previous eight countries have all been destroyed."
"Unfortunately, some countries have to wait more than ten years or even decades before they are destroyed. The price of being politically incorrect is too small."
"Now, with the rise of Liyue, Chaos City is becoming more and more disobedient. Maybe these countries should be punished in advance."
"Hey, look here, a Daqian sect called the Beast Control Sect took action in advance. As a result, during the siege, Li Lingzhou killed the leader and the Beast Control Elder..."
"Is it Li Lingzhou again?"
"If I haven't heard from Li Lingzhou for three days, I have to wonder if I have been transferred to another state capital."
"Killing the head and elders of Daqian Sect is not a small matter."
"Interestingly, when Li Lingzhou was killing people, the Beast Control Sect was attacked by a demon sect, killing most of the spiritual beasts in the sect, and half of the sect members have not woken up to this day."
"Wait a minute, the Demon Sect doesn't eat people?"
"This Demon Sect is called the Heavenly Demon Sect. Maybe there are some Heavenly Demons."
"Will Li Lingzhou collude with the Demon Sect?"
"She must have this kind of calculation so that she won't lose every bet."
"However, we can charge her with this crime and lock her up, so that the state can calm down for a while."
"This person is a treasure of the Prison Department, why would he be willing to lock it up and not use it?"
“One time, the jail officer locked her up and gave her alcohol to drink because he was afraid that she would cause trouble in the prison... As a result, she stayed in the prison and refused to leave. Finally, she was released from prison after he advanced the money for alcohol for the next ten years. "
"So, she has someone in court?"
"No...she is just simply strong."
"It doesn't matter, you can get rid of this kind of people with money, but within a year, a big demon must appear in the Burning Country."
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
The dignified Jiange Prefecture neither held Yushou Sect responsible for attacking Xiyang City nor cared about Tianmo Sect's sneak attack on Yushou Sect. They were all focused on the princess's demonic decree.
It seems that no matter what world or era we are in, maintaining stability is the most important thing.
…
The third butterfly image: Li Lingzhou.
In addition to getting more than 20,000 spiritual stones, Li Lingzhou also weighed a lot of elixirs and equipment and sold more than 10,000 spiritual stones.
With 30,000 spirit stones in hand, she suddenly felt a little dizzy, and actually wanted to go out and have fun in Chaos City.
Moreover, in order to save money, he actually wanted to use the Five Swords Teleportation Formation of Jiange Pavilion at public expense, and was caught on the spot.
Although Li Lingzhou once served as a special prison envoy, he repeatedly redeemed himself for his crimes and was demoted to a second-class prison envoy.
Her immediate boss, named Zhang Jiyuan, is a first-class prison envoy of Xihezhou. He is a middle-aged man with thin hair, a hunched back, a wrinkled face, and an old age.
With a subordinate like Li Lingzhou, Zhang Jiyuan's work pressure was too great. His hairline was so high that he couldn't even tie it into a bun, so he had to wear a high hat to cover it up all year round.
"Li Lingzhou, you have an affair with the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Fire Burning Kingdom and massacred the leader and elders of the Beast Control Sect. What crime should you be guilty of!"
Li Lingzhou was not timid at all. He was thinking about which casino to go to tonight to be cool. He raised the wine jar, took a sip of wine, and said with a straight face:
"Where's the evidence?"
Over the years, Zhang Jiyuan gradually mastered the method of treating Li Lingzhou.
"The 80,000 spiritual stones you owe me will be deducted from your salary for the next three years."
When Li Lingzhou heard this, he said impatiently:
"Okay, okay, it's all my doing."
Zhang Jiyuan sighed, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely:
"Don't rush to confess, it may not all be your fault.
The truth is sometimes not that important.
Now, the above gives you two options:
First, lead the team to kill the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Second, serve three years in prison.
It’s your choice.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Li Lingzhou.
Li Lingzhou has long disappeared.
When I asked the other prison guards nearby, they all shook their heads and said they didn't see it.
The spirit stone has already fallen down.
Zhang Jiyuan continued drinking tea and said:
"It doesn't matter, she will return in three days."
He still underestimated Li Lingzhou's luck.
That night, Li Lingzhou lost all 30,000 spiritual stones and returned to the Prison Suppression Department empty-handed. He found him and asked:
"Tell me again, what are the two options?"
Zhang Jiyuan's tea was still warm.
He took the trouble to say it again:
"First, lead the team to kill the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Second, serve three years in prison.
You choose whatever you want."
Li Lingzhou snorted coldly.
"Only children make choices, I want them all!"
"Um?"
Zhang Jiyuan had never seen such a request.
Li Lingzhou smelled of alcohol and said with a determined expression:
"By the time the old guys above are on their mission, the Demon Sect has long been at large and has moved to another state. I have already placed chess pieces in the Heavenly Demon Sect. You can just send someone to cooperate with him inside and outside."
Zhang Jiyuan frowned.
"What about you?"
Li Lingzhou shook the wine jar up and down, making sure he drank the last drop of wine, and then said in a serious voice:
"My crime is unforgivable and I am willing to serve three years in prison."
