Nirvana Phoenix Song

Although the negotiations with Mingfeng Xuanming ended and Feng Tangyue successfully resolved the rebellion crisis in the north, she knew in her heart that this victory did not really end all threats. Although the power of the Anti-Phoenix Alliance was disintegrated, the remnants were still lurking in every corner of Fengguo, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Feng Tangyue left Linyuan City with her elite team and returned to the court, but her mind was not relaxed because of the victory. She knew that every step of reform was accompanied by new challenges, and the game with the old forces was far from over.

"Xiao Shi," Feng Tangyue called softly.

Xiao Shi immediately rode closer, with some worry in his eyes, "Your Highness, although the Mingfeng family has agreed to cooperate, I always feel that Xuanming is not trustworthy. His compromise may only be temporary, and he may turn against us at any time in the future."

Feng Tangyue's eyes flickered slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Xuan Ming is indeed unreliable. He is a shrewd man and will never give up power easily. However, he has no bargaining chips now, and the Anti-Phoenix Alliance is no longer his support. Even if he wants to fight back, he is powerless to turn the tide."

Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried. "Your Highness, what should we do next? Should we always be on guard against the Mingfeng Family?"

Feng Tangyue shook her head and said firmly, "It is only a matter of time before Mingfeng Xuanming strikes back, but this is not the biggest threat to us. What we should really be wary of are those old forces that have not yet shown their fangs. They have been lurking in the court and the local areas, waiting for an opportunity to find flaws in the reform."

Xiao Shi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded to show that he understood. He knew that although Feng Tangyue's reforms brought hope, they also made those conservative forces feel extremely threatened. Although the opposition voices of the powerful officials in the court and the local aristocratic families were suppressed on the surface, they might be secretly uniting and waiting for an opportunity to attack.

"Your Highness, should we make arrangements in advance to prevent them from joining forces?" Xiaoshi asked carefully.

Feng Tangyue nodded, "That's right. From now on, we must strengthen our supervision of the imperial court and local forces, and at the same time expand our influence in various places, especially those local supernatural families. If there is any wavering, it must be suppressed immediately without mercy."

There was a gleam of determination in her eyes. The road to reform would not become smooth because of one victory. She had to stay vigilant at all times and prepare for a rainy day.

After returning to the imperial city, Feng Tangyue immediately convened a secret meeting and summoned several of the most loyal ministers in the court. She needed a more thorough action to ensure that the remnants of the Anti-Feng League were completely eliminated and the reform could be smoothly promoted.

The secret meeting was held deep in the cold palace, and only a few core officials were allowed to attend. This meeting would determine the future direction of the Phoenix Kingdom.

At the conference table, several important officials looked solemn, their eyes focused on Feng Tangyue. The left prime minister spoke first: "Your Highness, the rebellion in the north has been quelled, the Mingfeng family has agreed to cooperate, and the court is temporarily stable. However, some conservative forces in the court are still secretly contacting the old families in the local area, intending to oppose your reforms. How should we deal with it?"

Feng Tangyue's eyes were cold, "We must seize this opportunity and conduct a comprehensive investigation before they are fully formed. The power of the Supervisory Department must be further strengthened to conduct more stringent monitoring of the internal court and local forces."

The right general frowned and said, "Your Highness, will a comprehensive investigation trigger more backlash? If we are too radical, it may make more neutral forces feel uneasy and stand against us."

Feng Tangyue was silent for a moment, with a hint of contemplation in her eyes. She understood that a comprehensive investigation might indeed bring adverse reactions, but the current situation did not allow her to be too concerned about those wavering forces. If she did not take tough measures at this moment, there might be greater hidden dangers in the future.

"The general has a point, but we can't delay any longer." Feng Tangyue said firmly, with unquestionable determination, "The enemies of reform will not give up just because we compromise, they will only intensify. The investigation must be carried out, and at the same time we must win over those families and forces that are truly loyal to Feng Country and give them a clear position."

The left prime minister nodded slightly, "Your Highness is right. I am willing to do my best to assist you."

Feng Tangyue looked at the right general, "General, I need you to secretly mobilize the army to prevent someone from inciting rebellion during the investigation. We must be fully prepared."

The right general looked serious, clasped his hands and said, "I obey your command."

After this secret meeting, Feng Tangyue once again felt the complexity of the power game. She had to promote reforms while consolidating the power of the court and preventing any possible counterattack. Although victory was in sight, every step she took was treading on thin ice.

-

A few days later, the investigation was officially launched. The Supervisory Department's forces were spread all over the Phoenix Country, and began to conduct a thorough investigation of the supernatural families and local forces inside and outside the court. For a time, there was a panic, and many families that had been connected with the Anti-Phoenix Alliance were arrested, and the old forces were completely weakened.

However, as Feng Tangyue had expected, the investigation also caused dissatisfaction and panic among some conservatives. Opposition voices began to be heard in the local area, and there were even rumors that some noble families were secretly contacting each other and preparing for a joint counterattack.

Feng Tangyue was not shaken by this, as she knew that these opposing forces were just a desperate struggle. She had set her sights on the future, and the victory of the reform was not just the current investigation, but the establishment of an order that truly belonged to the future of Fengguo.

In the cold palace, Feng Tangyue looked at the sky outside the window, thinking about every step to take. The investigation was the beginning, but it was by no means the end. The real reform had just begun.

“Give order to power, not power to order.”

Feng Tangyue is determined. The road ahead is still full of thorns, but she will use her own strength to continue to protect this land and lead Feng Country to a new future. No matter how many challenges lie ahead, she will burn away the darkness with the fire of Nirvana and bring light.
