With the Five Venoms Rebellion around, Bai Musheng could completely seize Bai Muyun's family, but it wouldn't be of much use if he only wanted to eliminate King An's influence.
What truly made Bai Musheng feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat was the aristocratic families that supported King An, led by the crown princess consort's family.
For thousands of years, these aristocratic families had taken over countless lands and enslaved countless innocent people.
He raised private soldiers to resist the court, openly obeying and secretly disobeying, deceiving his superiors and subordinates.
The emperors of past dynasties wished to eradicate all these aristocratic families. Unfortunately, they were too powerful. Most importantly, most of the officials in the world were from aristocratic families.
Bai Musheng knew that even if he could use this opportunity to deal with the aristocratic families, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to uproot them.
Everything would have to wait until Bai Musheng reformed the directorate and established a brand new education system, allowing a large number of officials who were absolutely loyal to the emperor to enter the local government.
This incident gave Bai Musheng the best excuse to make a move on the directorate.
It would be fine if they were tactful and obediently backed down. Bai Musheng could just kill some of the people who were jumping around too happily. But if they didn't know what was good for them, the imperial court would definitely shed a lot of blood.
At the thought of this, Bai Musheng couldn't help but sigh.
When he ascended the throne, a strange phenomenon descended from the sky. It was a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing was that he had supreme prestige, and many things were much easier to do. Even if he killed a large number of people this time, he could forcefully suppress the turmoil.
The bad thing was that this prestige and the divine power when he ascended the throne made some people cautious and hide it even deeper.
It would really take a lot of effort to lure them out.
On the other side.
Zhu Menghuang found an uninhabited hill.
"Let's do it here…"
Standing on the hill, he could see the entire Chang 'an Fortress.
There was a hint of worry in her eyes. For some reason, she was always worried.
Did something happen to the young paparazzo…
What am I thinking? Gou 'zi can fight me to a standstill. Who in the world can touch him now?
It was better to quickly go through nirvana.
With this thought in mind, Zhu Menghuang immediately sat down cross-legged.
In his dantian, the Nine Phoenix True Essence that he had cultivated over the past few days was mobilized and circulated around his body like a raging fire.
Zhu Menghuang's originally fair and clear skin gradually turned red.
Gradually, the surrounding temperature increased. At a certain moment, a small flame suddenly appeared on the grass beside Zhu Menghuang.
As if it was a signal, the flame instantly expanded into a ball of fire, forming a ring of fire around Zhu Menghuang's body.
The flames rose and engulfed Zhu Menghuang's body.
Zhu Menghuang didn't feel any pain even though she was enveloped by the flames. Instead, it felt as if her entire body had been submerged in warm spring water. It was warm and comfortable.
Zhu Menghuang's figure gradually distorted in the golden flames. Through the flames, one could only vaguely see an extremely elegant and noble bird.
In the forest in the eastern suburbs.
Bai Mucheng suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the hill where Zhu Menghuang was.
Although he couldn't see anything, he could sense that something big was happening.
At this time, Ji Gang had already brought a large number of Embroidered Uniform Guards out of the city.
After arriving in front of Bai Musheng, Ji Gang immediately dismounted and ran to Bai Musheng to kneel down.
"This subject, Jinyiwei commander Ji Gang greets Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Eternal Joy!"
Bai Musheng opened his mouth. After a while, he spoke in a strangely accented voice.
"Rise."
As soon as this voice was heard, the surrounding kneeling people trembled as if their hearts had been struck.
The voice seemed to come from the top of the nine heavens.
Ji Gang got up and raised his head slightly, but his pupils constricted.
Tian Zi's eyes were golden!
Not only that, a sun mark also appeared on Tian Zi's forehead, and his entire body was faintly emitting a layer of golden light.
"Your Majesty…you…"
His throat was extremely dry, but Ji Gang couldn't even say a complete sentence.
" Your Majesty…Your…Your eyes have turned golden…"
Bai Musheng was stunned for a moment before he understood.
Looking down, he could see a faint layer of light on the surface of his body.
Somehow, Bai Musheng seemed to have understood something, but he couldn't find any clues.
His gaze swept across everyone present. Everyone who was in his line of sight felt as if they had been seen through.
Suddenly, he had a thought.
"Xiong Fei."
"Your subject is here!"
Zhan Zhao shuddered and quickly went forward.
"I once…said that you are a royal cat, right?”
This was Bai Musheng's joke. Even if it was a joke, as long as he said Zhan Zhao was a royal cat, Zhan Zhao was a royal cat.
This was also why Ai Ning had addressed Zhan Zhao as 'Your Excellency the Imperial Cat'.
Zhan Zhao nodded.
Bai Musheng laughed.
"Today, I will officially confer you the title of…Imperial Cat. In this world, no one can escape your discerning eyes.”
In that instant, Bai Musheng suddenly saw a flash of light on Zhan Zhao's body.
The light came and went even faster. Other than Bai Musheng, no one else noticed it.
Bai Musheng suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his body.
Cat Royalty…was done!
This wasn't the royal cat that he had made up in the past, but the royal cat that Bai Musheng had personally named in his current mystical state.
It was…the imperial cat recognized by the emperor's dragon energy.
From now on, as long as Bai Musheng and Da Qi were still around, Zhan Zhao would be a royal cat.
Perhaps Zhanzhao hadn't shown any extraordinary ability yet, but in time, he would definitely be as Bai Musheng had said-no one in the world could escape his eyes!
It was even possible for this ability to evolve into a divine art that could see through all illusions.
No one told Bai Musheng about this, but he understood.
The Son of Heaven had a golden mouth and jade-like teeth, his mouth contained the laws of heaven, and his feet stepped on all things. It seemed that from today onwards, it was no longer just a legend passed down by word of mouth, but would gradually evolve into reality!
He wanted to test it again, but he suddenly felt that the power that could command the law had weakened a lot.
Bai Musheng understood that he wasn't strong enough.
Or rather, his empress was not strong enough.
Bai Musheng glanced at Zhu Menghuang's direction again and smiled.
"Secretly return to the palace, and continue to send people to search for the Empress near the Qu River Pond…There's no need to make a big fuss, just search the Qu River Pond carefully.”
After that silly girl completed her nirvana, she would naturally return there obediently and think of a way to let the people who were looking for her find her.
