In the palace, Yuan Feng sat on the Nine-dragon Bed at the highest point. Her expression was indifferent and dignified as she looked at the many tall Phoenix Race Kings.
However, she could not help but feel tired and sad.
After issuing the order to collect taxes, she had expected a fierce resistance.
However, at most, it was only some bird clans, the lower levels of the Phoenix clan, and some newly born experts who resisted.
However, he never expected the rebound to be so intense.
Even these old subordinates who had followed her for countless years in the Wilderness would stand up against her.
Clearly, everything she did was for the highest benefit of the Phoenix clan. It was for the survival of the Phoenix clan.
Yuan Feng could not figure it out. After thinking for a full 50 years, she could not figure out why these old subordinates, who had once fought bravely on the battlefield without fear of life and death, would actually take the lead to oppose her order to collect taxes for these resources.
She had wanted to hide from them for a hundred years.
They had to kneel outside the palace for a hundred years.
After the Ice Phoenix successfully established the branches of the tax collection branch in each branch and race, he would meet them after collecting taxes.
However, she never expected that these old subordinates would see through her plans and press on step by step.
He even did not hesitate to split the Phoenix race as the price to label the Ice Phoenix as splitting the Phoenix race and imprisoning her.
Yuan Feng felt that her firm Dao heart was in extreme pain at this moment.
She could not understand how these old subordinates who had followed her for countless years had become like this.
In the palace, the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.
The Vermilion Bird, the Ice Phoenix, the Heaven Fire Phoenix, and the Nirvana Phoenix stood on both sides of the Yuan Phoenix.
The Kings and powerful beings of the branch families kneeled down and lowered their heads, begging the Vermilion Bird to take back his order.
Outside the palace, a large group of experts from the various branches were kneeling.
They represented the interests of the entire upper echelon of the Phoenix race.
This was a terrifying power.
The Vermilion Bird blinked and quietly stood to the side. This scene was even more grand than the previous gathering of Kings to discuss whether or not to declare war on the Dragon Tribe. It was quite interesting.
In an instant, endless thoughts flashed through his mind.
This must be the legendary spokesperson for interest groups.
Most of the resources of the Phoenix Race were occupied by these guys and their descendants and forces. They ruled over hundreds of millions of phoenixes layer by layer.
Previously, Yuan Feng was able to sit firmly on the throne of the Phoenix race because of the support of these guys.
As for the Yuan Phoenix, it could also lead them to continuously expand their territory and erode a huge amount of resources and treasures. Therefore, the billions of phoenixes at the bottom level of the Phoenix race could still maintain stability with them and obtain good benefits.
But now, due to various reasons, the Phoenix clan's external expansion had reached a bottleneck.
It even shrank the vast territory.
The territories that they once occupied had all their resources divided up by the forces that these fellows represented. The hundreds of millions of phoenixes at the bottom did not get much resources, and the development of the phoenix race had also reached a bottleneck.
Now, Yuan Feng wanted to spit out 80% of the benefits they had obtained.
It would be strange if these guys didn't go crazy.
If not for the threat of the dragon race and the Qilin race outside the Phoenix race, these fellows would have already joined forces to rebel.
This was the legendary interest group.
If Yuan Feng wanted to deprive them and the forces behind them of their interests and concentrate the financial power in her hands, she would naturally be counterattacked crazily by these interest groups.
The Vermilion Bird looked at this scene with great interest. This was a grand scene that he had never seen in his previous life.
If he remembered correctly, the Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty had threatened Emperor Chongzhen in a similar fashion.
A reform from top to bottom was like cutting meat from the inside. It was impossible not to bleed.
However, if there was no reform, once these groups of interest finished dividing up the existing interests, they would definitely reach out to the outside world.
With the power of the Phoenix Race at this moment, they would definitely have a war with the Dragon Race and the Qilin Race. Hongjun was pushing a little behind the scenes, and their destruction was inevitable.
Interesting. I wonder how Yuan Feng will deal with this.
If they could overcome this obstacle, the Phoenix Race might really be able to take a step forward in the direction of a central power.
Thinking of this, the Vermillion Bird could not help but raise his eyes slightly to look at the indifferent Yuan Feng.
However, looking at her appearance in the past 50 years, she probably did not expect to encounter so much resistance before giving the order.
The people standing below were all her old subordinates. They had made contributions to the Phoenix clan and shed blood for the Phoenix clan. It was not easy to deal with them.
But then again, what does it have to do with me?
If the Phoenix Race is in chaos, I can take the opportunity to escape and go to the West Ocean to find the three islands of Penglai.
Hearing the Vermillion Bird's last sentence, Yuan Feng's expression, which was gradually recovering, turned black. She turned to look at the Vermillion Bird and said indifferently,"Vermillion Bird King, do you agree or disagree with my tax collection?”
"I really want to hear your opinion.”
Upon hearing this, the Vermilion Bird's expression froze and he was dumbfounded.
Yuan Feng's words were ruthless enough.
Wasn't this forcing him to take sides and pushing him into a corner?
