However, the general trend of the world is not eternal.
Later, the fierce fire lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away. The Xingxu Sect took advantage of the situation and joined forces with other forces to drive the Agni Fire Empire from central Hezhou to the far west. Since then, the country's power has gradually declined, and it has changed from the previous Agni Fire that burned the world to the current Qisu Gaijiuzhou.
And this Qisu is the best master in the world, the Star Lord Qisu of the Xingxu Sect.
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Agni Fire Empire was once the overlord of Hezhou. Although it was located in the far west, its roots were still there. Later, it controlled a large number of spiritual veins and the Nine Netherlands in the far west, and its national power quickly rebounded. Soon Then he unified the western continent.
In terms of Hezhou's power rankings, the Agni Fire Empire can definitely be ranked in the top three, second only to the Xingxu Sect and the Heavenly Army Alliance.
The rapid rise of the Agni Fire Empire made the Xingxu Sect and many forces that had participated in the Great War feel uneasy, so they tried every means to send people to infiltrate the extreme west, weakening the Agni Empire's strength bit by bit, and greatly See results.
Sheri City is the main transportation route leading to the Spirit Vein Sand Region in the far west and the Nine Netherlands, so this city has become the focus of competition among various factions.
After tens of thousands of years of competition and even war, although today's Sheri City nominally belongs to the Fiery Empire, the jurisdiction of the city lord's palace has been greatly reduced. The spiritual veins of the extreme west land and the Jiuyou land are not The Empire of Fire, which no longer belongs solely to it, has been carved up by various factions.
The current emperor of the Agni Fire Empire, Chi Boling, is known as the God Emperor, and his specific realm is ominous.
He also has two brothers, one was named a prince and the other was named a county king, both of whom are masters of the divine realm.
Among the nine sons of the God Emperor, the eldest, Chi Yanmie, was already a demigod and was granted the title of Wucheng County King. The second prince, Chi Yansheng, was also a master of the Golden Elixir Dzogchen and was named the Prince of Tianguang County.
The third prince is in an ominous state, the fourth prince and the sixth prince are all masters above the middle stage of the golden elixir. The seventh prince and the ninth prince are in the early stage of the golden elixir and have not been given titles. The fifth prince died young, and the eighth prince never came back after going out for training, and his life or death is unknown.
In addition, God Emperor Chi Boling also gave birth to sixteen princesses, but only eleven survived.
There are five titles below the king of the Agni Empire: duke, marquis, uncle, son and male. Each title is divided into first, second and third grades. They are usually given to relatives of the emperor, heroes of the empire and meritorious city lords.
As the highest title below the king, the Duke is only given to relatives of the emperor and ministers who have made great contributions to the empire. Several degrees of title below duke will be granted depending on the situation.
The areas below the empire are also divided into giant cities, main cities, attached cities and small cities. They are no different from other places in Hezhou, except that they are different in affiliation.
Most of the other areas of Hezhou and the territories belonging to various sects, including the giant, main, and attached small cities, have no affiliation. Instead, they belong to various major forces, and very few of them are affiliated with each other.
This is not the case in the Fire Empire. Each huge city is subordinate to dozens of main cities, and each main city is subordinate to dozens or hundreds of subsidiary cities, and so on.
If the lord of a giant city in the empire has meritorious service, he can be granted the highest title of marquis, the main city can be granted the title of earl, and the annexed city can be granted the title of viscount or baron. Generally, the lords of small cities are not eligible for the title of knight.
If the city lords of each city had a title before taking office, they would naturally still have a title after taking office. Those who have not had a title before can only be eligible for a title five years after taking office as city lord, provided that they have meritorious service first.
If within five years the city to which it belongs is in chaos, or the overall strength has declined, or the officials and the people are extremely dissatisfied with the city lord, then the time for the title will be postponed for another five years until the city is stabilized before merit can be discussed.
After this, if the city is still in chaos, the city lord will be dismissed on the spot and handed over to the empire for strict discussion.
There is a huge difference in treatment between city lords with titles and those without titles. Therefore, the city lords of the Fire Empire, big and small, all regard obtaining a title as their goal. They are diligent in political affairs and manage the city well. They dare not slack off in the slightest to ensure that everything is passed down. Unification of government orders.
As a result, the rule of the Agni Fire Empire over various cities and places is much stronger and closer than that in other areas of Hezhou. Of course, except Sheri City.
You must know that cultivators are different from ordinary people. They are born with an unyielding will and dare to go against nature, let alone be controlled by others. Therefore, it is not easy for the Agni Fire Empire to do this in the cultivation world.
There have been many forces that tried to learn from the empire's form of governance, but they all ended in failure. They could only implement loose management, focus on the big and let go of the small, and give each city and place a high degree of autonomy.
The jade slips also give a very detailed introduction to the purpose of the Ninth Prince Chi Yan, which can be summed up in eight characters. He looks cynical, but is actually a great talent.
God Emperor Chi Boling valued the Ninth Prince very much, and personally approved that he be sent to Sheri City for training, and was in charge of the city lord's palace to guard the imperial army and the sentinel camp. His status was second only to the city lord Yunlizi, and both deputy city lords had to respect him. a bit.
The Ninth Prince is always surrounded by many golden elixir masters, and it is extremely difficult to assassinate this person.
"Master, the treasure fair has begun!" Just as Zhou Yang was studying Sheri City and the Ninth Prince in depth, the waiter's voice sounded outside the door.
Zhou Yang was agitated for a while, why is this damn guy so persistent? Is there a huge bounty for pulling just one person?
"Little monk doesn't need treasures." Zhou Yang said coldly.
"Monks don't lie. Master said he would go and have a look." The waiter insisted.
"This..." Zhou Yang was speechless. He did say such a thing.
"Little monk will go immediately." After being stunned for a while, Zhou Yang said helplessly.
"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Er said happily.
"Boy, is there any room left?" Zhou Yang reluctantly walked out of the room and met Mr. Tu and the others.
If someone is unhappy, drinking cold water will make his teeth choke. Zhou Yang felt depressed, pretended not to see it, and turned around to leave.
"Oh, we are really destined to have this great monk!" The tall cultivator caught a glimpse of Zhou Yang and was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly.
"Amitofu, we are indeed destined. Waiter, please clean the rooms for the donors." Zhou Yang saluted the three of them with one hand, told the waiter and left.
"Master, wait a minute." Mr. Tu snapped away the folding fan, looked Zhou Yang up and down, and asked with a smile: "Haha, I wonder where the master is from?"
"The donor is not an adult from the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Zhou Yang asked back.
"You monk, if my young master asks you, you should tell the truth, why bother talking so much!" The tall cultivator raised his eyebrows and reprimanded.
"The young monk has no obligation to tell." Zhou Yang's tone also became colder.
"What a sharp-tongued bald donkey, how dare you talk to the young master like this..."
"Chengba, stand down!"
Before the tall cultivator could finish speaking, Master Tu stopped him.
"Yes, Young Master." Cheng Ba was very respectful to the young man.
"Sure enough, it's Cheng Ba, that one is Sikong Jie!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but think to himself.
