Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

As for Fei Yang Kingdom in the past…

They were basically non existent.

The Xia Mountains’ range was actually the border of Zhang Xu Kingdom in the past but some people were ordered to go there to open up the land. And through gathering the local villages and so on, Fei Yang Kingdom could be built.

Of course, their leader was someone sent from Zhang Xu Kingdom as the leader and they were under the other party.

And after the war, they have their own expansion.

Zhang Xu Kingdom expanded further to the west until it hit the mountain range and the vast desert. They had no intention of expanding further because it would be difficult to survive.

Fan Yi Kingdom expanded further to the north, essentially meeting with these northern tribes and fought greatly. They also expanded to the east until they hit the sea and built more cities there.

Wei Da Kingdom basically remained stable and expanded to all direction when they have the chance.

Shi Long Kingdom was built last but many nobles followed them in the beginning. And it was these nobles who eventually became the leader of the local forces, allowing Shi long Kingdom to thrive and expanded further to the east until meeting the sea and still trying to expand to the south.

They said that there was mountain range in the south direction.

As for further down in the south direction…

They didn’t know.

Fei Yang Kingdom expanded to the south, west, and east. They basically didn’t touch Zhang Xu Kingdom in the beginning, which allowed them to grow up comfortably.

Now that Emperor Yang Zhou unified the land… the size was several times the size of Fei Yang Kingdom in the past. Managing such a big land was by no means an easy task.

Emperor Yang Zhou knew very well that aside from dealing with the northern tribe, he would have to arrange the other matters of Fei Yang Kingdom.

Thankfully, he had many capable people under him.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to rule Fei Yang Kingdom well all these years.

But even then, the current situation was not very good.

‘After the inauguration ceremony, I’ll have to work overtime again.’

Emperor Yang Zhou was not old, but he had already started to feel somewhat tired with the large burden in front of him. He knew very well that becoming a capable and powerful emperor was by no means an easy task.

And his journey is not over yet.

He had to build Fei Yang Kingdom into a powerful kingdom!

But now, he still has a meeting with Minister Hao.

Minister Hao, formerly known as Prime Minister Hao from Qi Xi Kingdom, was given the position of an official after Qi Xi Kingdom surrendered to Fei Yang Kingdom. One of the reasons was because Fei Yang Kingdom truly lacked people and another reason was because of his capability.

Emperor Yang Zhou had already seen how Minister Hao worked in the past few months and he was satisfied with the other party.

Of course, he wouldn’t give Minister Hao high position.

But even if the position was not too high, being able to become an official was already very good for Minister Hao.

“Your Majesty, these are all the business under Emperor Qi Kan Tian all these years. Now these can be handed over to you,” Minister Hao said carefully.

Another reason why Emperor Qi Kan Tian managed to recover back then was because of these private businesses. By using the money from his mother’s maternal family’s stores, he managed to barely recover Qi Xi Kingdom’s situation.

Though, it was said that there was a bloody battle in the imperial palace because of this.

After all, no one wanted to take out the money and resources they had in their hands and there were not many people who were wiling to side with Emperor Qi Kan Tian. He rose into prominent position so suddenly and many people were unprepared.

But through taking over the minister who used to oppose him and his brother, his own private money, and also making new laws plus a few other things, Qi Xi Kingdom managed to stabilize.

Unfortunately, they could not avoid the problem of having small territory.

There were not much resources in Qi Xi Kingdom after their loss in the joint war against all other kingdoms. What awaited them was nothing more than destruction and the sacrifice of Emperor Qi Kan Tian’s brother was nothing more than a temporary measure.

The other kingdoms would still say that Qi Xi Kingdom is a big kingdom.

But does they really accept it from the bottom of their heart?

It was unlikely.

The main reason no one took Qi Xi Kingdom was because they were afraid of being attacked by other kingdom when they were in the process of conquering Qi Xi Kingdom.

After being in the state of war for such a long time, everyone noticed the benefit of being the third party in war.

If they could win without spending so much resources, who didn’t want to?

Unfortunately, it was not that easy for them to do so.

“You have done a good job,” Emperor Yang Zhou said as he looked at Minister Hao in front of him. However, he would not interfere with those stores too much.

It might be valuable in the eyes of Emperor Qi Kan Tian.

But the private business under Emperor Yang Zhou was far more than that…

Moreover, he didn’t really need so much money for himself.

In the future generation, there might be other emperors who wanted to have more private money to fulfill their desire. But Emperor Yang Zhou had no such thoughts.

There were already many women in his harem and his own live was comfortable enough.

Moreover, his dream is far from over.

How could he relax?

So Emperor Yang Zhou felt that it was good enough and these could just be handed over to the few people under him.
