Chapter 362: Split Management! Chu Yang Returns! Two Faces of the Daxia Empress?

Central Continent, Daxia Dynasty, Imperial Capital.

In the Golden Throne Hall, Tang Huo'er was sitting on the dragon chair, rubbing her brow with some fatigue.

"Why do you have to do everything yourself?" A soft voice suddenly sounded, and then a figure appeared in the hall.

Tang Huo'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Aunt-Master, Teacher handed the entire Daxia Dynasty to me and paved the way for me, so how can I let him down?"

Yun Yun, who was dressed in white and had an elegant temperament, shook her head and smiled: "You should know very well that his mind is not on the continent."

"Whether it is helping the Yunlan Sect rise or letting you establish the Daxia Dynasty, it is all for the sake of marching into the 'Heaven Beyond Heaven' in the future."

"If you slow down your cultivation speed because of this, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"

A flash of cunning flashed in Tang Huo'er's beautiful eyes, "Aunt-Master, why don't you be the regent? Don't worry, absolutely no one will dare to say a word of 'no'!"

Yun Yun rolled her eyes and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that your teacher needed the Flower Sect to build momentum for the Daxia Dynasty, I wouldn't even have wanted to take over the position of Flower Sect Master!"

"Ever since experiencing the Yunlan Sect incident, I have lost interest in managing the sect, let alone a huge dynasty?"

Tang Huo'er pouted; ever since Chu Yang went into seclusion, she had been in close contact with Yun Yun, and although she called the other party "Aunt-Master", she regarded her as a "big sister".

Only in front of a few people did she not refer to herself as "Zhen" (the imperial "I"), but put down the airs of an empress.

Seeing Tang Huo'er's look of having bitterness she couldn't speak of, Yun Yun felt a bit unbearable in her heart. After pondering for a moment, she suddenly said: "You can consider promoting some management talents and managing the dynasty in two aspects."

"Oh?" Tang Huo'er was stunned, and then her eyes lit up: "Do you mean... separating the powerhouses in the dynasty and managing them separately?"

Yun Yun nodded; even though this was not the first time she had seen Tang Huo'er's wisdom, she couldn't help but be a little amazed.

No wonder Chu Yang let her control the Daxia Dynasty; Tang Huo'er not only had good talent, but was also delicate in mind. She had just mentioned it casually, and the other party instantly associated it with a series of things.

"This is a good way; in this way, I only need to manage the top powerhouses in the dynasty!"

Tang Huo'er's beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter, "Then pick some reliable people, devolve power to them, as long as the core power is still in my hands, the foundation of the dynasty will not be shaken!"

The more she talked, the more energetic she became, and Tang Huo'er said again: "Alchemists can also be separated and handed over to Elder Lin to manage; he is a close friend of Teacher and is trustworthy!"

"What are you so happy about?" A silver bell-like laughter suddenly sounded.

The two women looked up and saw Na Lan Yanran, who was wearing a short skirt with long legs wrapped in black silk stockings, walk in.

"Dressed in a way that is neither fish nor fowl, what does it look like?" Yun Yun frowned, only feeling that compared to Tang Huo'er, her disciple was far behind.

Na Lan Yanran stuck out her tongue and said teasingly: "This is called dressing! Teacher, don't think I don't know!"

"You have long secretly worn panties and a camisole!"

Being exposed for her little secret in front of Tang Huo'er, Yun Yun's pretty face turned red, and Tang Huo'er covered her mouth and smiled.

In this huge Daxia Dynasty, the two people closest to her were Yun Yun, who had unloaded all the power of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and became a hands-off shopkeeper, and Na Lan Yanran, who had passed the position of Sect Master to Xiaoxiao and came to Daxia to be happy.

The three women would get together every few days to watch dramas through the Black Tower.

And for some dressing, as well as novel ideas and things in the drama, they would also try them.

But Tang Huo'er was the Empress, and Yun Yun was a teacher and the Supreme Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, so both of them couldn't let go of their airs. Only Na Lan Yanran had no scruples, pondering various dressing combinations all day long.

As for her purpose, everyone knew it well...

It was just a means to "please" a certain man!

"Aunt-Master, Aunt-Grandmaster, you rest here first, I'm going to court!" Tang Huo'er was now thinking about unloading part of the burden, said to the two, and left the hall in a hurry.

…………

In the court, the civil and military officials were discussing noisily.

The Empress had just proposed a split management system, which shocked many people.

What did this mean? Devolving power!

But once power was no longer concentrated in the hands of the Empress, if someone among the power holders had two hearts, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even if it couldn't shake the foundation of the dynasty, it would cause a huge impact.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Tang Huo'er, dressed in a dragon robe, looked down at the bottom, and seeing the discussion between the supporting faction and the opposing faction becoming more and more intense, even having a posture of wanting to fight, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Waving her hand lightly, a terrifying coercion instantly shrouded the entire hall.

Six-star Dou Sheng!

In just one year, Tang Huo'er's cultivation had undergone earth-shaking changes! If Chu Yang were here, he would be able to see at a glance that Tang Huo'er had completely mastered the true meaning of Tai Chi.

On the surface, Tang Huo'er's breakthrough speed was even faster than Chu Yang's.

But in reality, Chu Yang had put all his energy into refining the tree spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which delayed his cultivation.

This cultivation improvement of more than a year was entirely due to the special nature of the Source Breathing in the Source Technique, which operated on its own at all times.

Although the cultivation speed of self-operation was also very fast, after all, there was no supply of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and limited by the insufficient energy to support cultivation, Chu Yang had only broken through to the eight-star Dou Sheng.

Otherwise, let alone more than a year, Chu Yang could have broken through to Dou Di in just half a year!

The hall was instantly silent; although there were some important officials whose cultivation was stronger than Tang Huo'er's, no one dared to challenge the Empress's majesty.

"I am not discussing with you, but issuing an order!"

At this time, Tang Huo'er gave people a feeling of being dignified without being angry, and her majesty was fully displayed.

All the civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Tang Huo'er continued: "Tomorrow, the Auxiliary Cabinet will be established. From now on, all matters in the court will be decided by the Auxiliary Cabinet."

"If you encounter important major events that the Auxiliary Cabinet cannot decide, present them to me!"

"In addition, without my order, no Marquis is allowed to leave their respective fiefs; everything in the fief is decided by themselves, and at the same time, they are not under the jurisdiction of the Auxiliary Cabinet!"

"County Kings and Princes are the same, but they have the power to enter the palace to see me."

Speaking of this, Tang Huo'er paused, looked at the surprise in the eyes of those County Kings, Princes, and Marquises, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said again: "I let you be independent and not under the jurisdiction of the Auxiliary Cabinet, but it does not mean you can be lawless!"

"I will set a standard, contact the Yunlan Sect, and let them send a group of elders every year to patrol all parts of the dynasty."

"If anyone's territory does not meet the standard, or if they disobey the orders I give in the palace, their titles or kingships will be stripped!"

"In addition, don't think about bribing the elders of the Yunlan Sect; once I find out, I will implicate the nine clans!" Tang Huo'er's eyelashes fluttered, and she took out a black tower and held it in her hand.

Chu Yang also left her a black tower, which was exactly the same as the one in the Yunlan Sect.

The black tower of the Yunlan Sect was now in Xiaoxiao's hands, and it was precisely because of this that Na Lan Yanran ran to the palace to watch dramas relying on the black tower in Tang Huo'er's hands...

A moment later, Xiaoxiao's crisp voice suddenly came from the black tower.

"I am the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect. Any elder of this sect, during the patrol period, as long as they report someone trying to bribe, and the evidence is conclusive, they will be rewarded with a cultivation technique beyond the Heaven-rank!"

As the voice fell, the black tower trembled slightly and dissipated in Tang Huo'er's hand.

The hall was silent; those Marquises and Princes who had been complacent just now were now covered in cold sweat.

A technique beyond the Heaven-rank was placed there; this was a supreme treasure they could not take out no matter what!

It could be foreseen that once they tried to bribe, the elders of the Yunlan Sect would inevitably try every means to collect evidence and then present it to the Sect Master.

Then it would be transferred to the Majesty by the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, and what awaited them would be the execution of the nine clans! No one was a fool; no elder of the Yunlan Sect would choose to lose the sesame and pick up the watermelon.

This wave of operations by Tang Huo'er and Xiaoxiao undoubtedly completely eliminated the possibility of each fiefdom deceiving their superiors and hiding the truth from their subordinates.

After stating the management of alchemists and the details of the split management system one by one, Tang Huo'er directly announced the end of the court.

She had always been so vigorous and resolute, and the civil and military officials had long been used to it.

But just as all the civil and military officials knelt on one knee, and Tang Huo'er stood up and intended to leave, a figure appeared in the hall silently.

In the crowd kneeling down, this figure appeared extremely abrupt.

"Great..." Tang Huo'er's personal maid was about to open her mouth to scold, but when she saw the other party's appearance, she shivered all over and quickly covered her mouth.

Tang Huo'er was stunned in place, losing her composure in front of the civil and military officials for the first time.

After she came back to her senses, her eye sockets couldn't help but turn slightly red, and finally, she didn't care about the occasion, and between the dancing of the golden-red dragon robe, she pounced on that person like a gorgeous butterfly.

Chu Yang hugged Tang Huo'er, looked at the grievance and fatigue on this girl's face, and said softly like coaxing a child: "Teacher has only been gone for more than a year, it can't be counted as a long-awaited reunion yet. You look like this, don't let people think that there is any relationship between us that violates common ethics..."

Tang Huo'er raised her head slightly with red and swollen eyes, glanced at the civil and military officials, "Who dares?"

The civil and military officials all shivered and buried their heads lower.

"Come and tell Teacher, who made you suffer such a great grievance that you came to cry to me as soon as we met?"

Chu Yang's gaze turned cold, and a terrifying momentum instantly shrouded the entire hall!

Everyone in the hall turned pale, and the original kneeling on one knee became prostrating, trembling uncontrollably.

Tang Huo'er laughed through her tears: "Teacher... don't scare them!"

"My beloved subjects, get up! I have seen your past actions in my eyes!"

"Don't fail my expectations in the future, otherwise don't blame me for not being sentimental about the past!"

Her words were clearly referring to those Marquises, County Kings, and Princes.

Seeing Chu Yang appear, and just his aura alone made the several peak Dou Sheng powerhouses in the hall tremble, who would dare to hide any careful thoughts? "Your Majesty! Chu Emperor! Your subjects take their leave!" After Chu Yang restrained his aura, they stood up in a hurry one by one and retreated from the hall bowing.

Tang Huo'er let go of the hand holding Chu Yang, looked at his soaked lapel, and couldn't help but blush.

The maid had already retreated very sensibly, and only the two of them, master and apprentice, were left in the hall.

Looking at the Empress who was full of demeanor and vigorous just a moment ago, but now was like a little girl who had suffered a grievance and was pear blossoms with rain, Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"Before coming, I went around the Daxia Dynasty, and you did a good job, even better than I expected."

Rubbing Tang Huo'er's head, Chu Yang teased: "When you were emotionally agitated, you didn't forget to borrow my momentum to beat those ministers; you really have the appearance that an Empress should have."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Tang Huo'er's face, and she lowered her head and said: "Teacher, don't tease me. Even if I am the Daxia Empress, I am still the apprentice who washes your feet, rubs your back, and serves you tea and water..."

Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, his face darkened, and he said angrily: "When did I let you wash my feet and rub my back?"

Saying that, he glanced at the entrance of the hall and said angrily: "Since you are here, why are you hiding?"

Na Lan Yanran walked into the door and said playfully: "Wow! Little Junior Brother! Using the Junior Niece as a maid!"

Tang Huo'er covered her mouth and smiled; where was the grievance and pitiful look from just now?

However, Chu Yang showed a smile instead; Tang Huo'er's growth made him quite gratified.

…………

At night, in front of the Golden Throne Hall.

The maids and guards looked at the barbecue grill set up in front of the hall and the six people eating with oily mouths, all looking like they didn't know where to put their eyes.

If they saw such a scene, would they be silenced?

The people sitting around the barbecue grill at this time were the existences representing the peak of strength and power on the continent!

Aside from Chu Yang's master and apprentice and Yun Yun's master and apprentice, Xiaoxiao and Dantong also ran over to join in the fun.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaoxiao's cultivation had now reached the peak of Dou Sheng, and her strength was even comparable to a "Half-Emperor".

In fact, by comparison, the cultivation improvement speed of Yun Yun, Na Lan Yanran, and Tang Huo'er was slower than most of the high-level officials of the Daxia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect.

This was not because their talent was insufficient, nor was it because their cultivation techniques were inferior to others, but because they all took a different path.

For others, Dou Di was the peak, and even if the Great Thousand World and the Douqi Continent were connected, it would be lucky to break through to Di Zhizun in their lifetime, but for the three women, Dou Di was just the beginning! Before breaking through to Dou Di, that is, condensing the Supreme Sea, they needed to be steady and solid, and firm their foundation.

In contrast, Xiaoxiao and Dantong, one was a super magical beast that had been upgraded to a fourth-generation peak beast body and had undergone bloodline transformation.

The other was a medicinal pill itself, and there was no need to consider the problem of foundation at all.

"You go down first!"

Looking at the uneasy guards and maids, Tang Huo'er waved her hand with a smile.

Since the Majesty was smiling so happily, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and then hurriedly responded and retreated.

In fact, even setting aside the strength of Chu Yang and the others, in this palace, there was no need for protection at all, because no one dared to come to the Daxia Palace to run wild.

The reason why these people were left behind earlier was entirely because Na Lan Yanran and Tang Huo'er wanted to "show off" to Chu Yang, letting the guards and maids help... (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 363 =====
