In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

Xuanzheng Palace!

Emperor Tailong was sitting upright behind his imperial desk, closing his eyes and meditating.

Suddenly, there was an almost inaudible sound of the door opening, which made him frown, opened his eyes with some displeasure, and glanced slightly towards the entrance of the hall.

I saw a young eunuch who was usually responsible for delivering orders, tiptoeing into the hall.

Seeing Emperor Tailong's glance, the little eunuch hurriedly took two steps forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the Zuo Zong of the Zongren Palace, Yang Luo, wants to see you!"

"Yang Luo?"

When Emperor Tailong heard this name, he couldn't help but be startled. The displeasure on his face also dissipated, and he said solemnly: "Let him come in!"

Yang Luo is the younger brother of Emperor Tailong.

It's just that his younger brother's fate was not good. Before he reached adulthood, Emperor Tailong had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

After Emperor Tailong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Yang Luo moved from the palace to the Zongren Mansion. When he came of age, he refused to join the vassal family and chose to serve in the Zongren Mansion. Now he serves as Zuo Zongling of the Daqian Zongren Mansion.

The Zongren Mansion was the institution that managed royal clan affairs during the Daqian Dynasty. It had a clan roster that was in charge of the nine clans of the emperor. It compiled jade certificates on time and recorded the descendants, names, titles, birth and death dates, marriages, posthumous titles, burials, etc. of the clan's children. thing.

There is mainly one person named Da Zongzheng, one person each from left and right Zongzheng, and one person each from left and right Zongling.

There are also official officials such as clan members, principals, directors, school secretaries, and decrees.

The Zongren Palace mentioned by the young eunuch is a subordinate organization of the Zongren Palace. It is located in the Daqian Palace and is mainly responsible for recording and protecting the affairs of the concubines, princes, princesses and other royal personnel in the palace.

To put it simply, the Zongren Mansion dealt with all the royal family and clan members of the Daqian Dynasty.

The Zongren Hall was dedicated to serving the emperor's family.

"My brother Yang Luo, please see your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!"

Soon, Zuo Zong ordered Yang Luo to enter the main hall under the guidance of the eunuch who passed the order, and saluted Emperor Tailong respectfully.

Seeing this, Emperor Tailong shook his head helplessly and said, "Xiao Qi, when did you become so old-fashioned?"

Zuo Zong ordered Yang Luo to say solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, the order of elders and younger ones, and etiquette cannot be abolished."

"Okay, there is no need to be polite between you and me, brothers."

Emperor Tailong waved his hand and said.

After saying that, he seemed to be making up his own business and said teasingly: "Besides, what kind of wind brought you, a busy man, here today?"

Zuo Zongling Yang Luo also smiled bitterly when he heard Emperor Tailong's slightly resentful words: "Your Majesty, not long ago, my brother's cultivation really reached a critical point and he had to retreat, so he missed the Cold Food Festival."

He didn't expect Emperor Tailong to be so petty.

He only missed the Cold Food Festival once, and was remembered by Emperor Tailong.

Seeing the nervous look on Yang Luo's face, Emperor Tailong couldn't help but shake his head: "Okay, no need to explain. I was just joking with you. I'll scare you."

"After all, you came to me today because those little brats in my family caused some trouble again?"

As he spoke, Emperor Tailong was also full of helplessness, feeling a headache for his children.

He was young, relying on his status to be lawless, fooling around all day long, and not studying and practicing hard.

The older ones are either forming various cliques and fighting openly and secretly for the position of prince; or they are messing around in their own fiefdoms and misbehaving.

Each and every one of them made Emperor Tailong heartbroken.

But as an emperor, he couldn't show it yet, lest the people below him would over-interpret it and cause all kinds of trouble.

This gave Emperor Tailong an even greater headache.

Now Yang Luo, Zuo Zongling of the Zongren Hall, is here.

Emperor Tailong's first thought was that Yang Luo had come to complain, and that some of his own gangsters had caused trouble.

Unexpectedly, after Zuo Zong ordered Yang Luo to listen to Emperor Tailong's complaint, he shook his head and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I am here not because of some trivial matter, but because I have something important to report."

"Oh, big deal, what big deal?" Emperor Tailong asked curiously.

Yang Luo said solemnly: "Your Majesty, not long ago, the Thirteenth Prince Yang An went to the Zongren Hall to apply for the opening of the Daqian Prince Assessment. I dare not make the decision privately, so I came to report to Your Majesty."

"Little Thirteen, Prince Daqian's assessment?"

Emperor Tailong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but frown and asked: "Are you sure you are applying for the prince's assessment, not the county king's assessment?"

"Return to Your Majesty, my brother is sure."

Yang Luo said with certainty: "Moreover, my brother has sent someone to verify the situation of the Thirteenth Prince, and he fully meets the conditions for applying for the Prince Daqian examination."

The so-called assessment conditions are whether the martial arts cultivation has broken through the innate realm.

After hearing this, Emperor Tailong was silent for a long time, his heart extremely complicated.

It wasn't until a long time later that he said quietly: "Xiao Shisan applied for the prince's assessment. Which Daozhou did he choose as his fiefdom?"

According to the regulations of the Daqian royal family, which continent and county the prince applied for will be assessed. After the assessment is completed, he will be canonized as the vassal king of that continent and county.

Therefore, Emperor Tailong was not wrong when he asked which Daozhou Yang An had chosen as his fiefdom.

Of course, the prince has the right to choose the location of his fiefdom.

But whether it can be allowed depends on the emperor's will.

If the emperor does not allow it, he can only change other provinces and counties.

Even if the emperor does not want his son to be canonized, he can also set an impossible test question and make him fail the test directly.

This reflects the importance of the Zongren Mansion.

In the prince's assessment, the emperor certainly has the right to veto and set questions, but the clan house also has the right to supervise and record.

If the emperor goes too far.

The clan house can also directly intervene in the prince's assessment, and even directly intervene in the imperial power.

This sounds incredible.

In fact, it is very normal.

After all, this is the Xianwu extraordinary world, and the clan house represents the fundamental power of the Daqian royal family.

Even after the emperors of all dynasties abdicated, they would go to the clan house to practice in seclusion.

In ancient dynasty society, to put it bluntly, one family and one surname rule the world.

If the Daqian emperor is the patriarch of the Daqian royal family, then the royal elders of the clan house are the elders of the family.

Once the patriarch of the family damages the interests and foundation of the family.

The elders of the family naturally have the right to sanction and dismiss the patriarch.

Of course, in this extraordinary world.

No matter how much you say, no matter how perfect the system you formulate is.

Generally speaking, it is the fist that can determine the final outcome of things.

As long as your fist is big enough, hard enough, and powerful enough.

What clan house, elders' council.

All of them should stand aside.

Zuo Zong Ling Yang Luoke had no idea how complicated Emperor Tailong's heart was.

Hearing Emperor Tailong's question, he answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Prince has chosen Haizhou as his assessment site. Please make your decision, Your Majesty!"
