Chapter 17: Helplessness
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, it was such a special encounter, although he was jealous, but all the princes looked at Feng Wuxi's thin body, and they were all viciously calculating his death date in their hearts, so the voices of opposition disappeared. Empress He's face was extremely ugly, and she stared at Feng Wuxi, who bowed her head and thanked him, as if she wanted to swallow him alive. Even Concubine De was so shocked that she quietly moved her body, so as not to be contaminated with the queen's fierce anger.
Feng Wuxian didn't think about it so much, and the unexpected joy of this flight made him unable to hide the excitement, and his face became a little flushed. This kind of emotion was even infected by the emperor, what a naΓ―ve child, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Looking at this son who he hadn't seen for a long time, there was a burst of warmth in his heart, as long as a little love was so excited, with a little adjustment, Wuxian would be more in awe of his father than other sons, the emperor glanced at the silent Ming Fang Zhenren, and had a little bit of care in his heart.
Compared with the previous one, the second half of the banquet can be said to be unremarkable, the princes and concubines each told a few innocuous jokes, and the atmosphere in the banquet was a little lazy, and the emperor also found it boring. It was easy to get to the end, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ming Fang Zhenren, who had not said a word, expecting him to say something, but to their disappointment, the Dao Master was still calm, and they could only leave with a stomach full of complaints. Today's biggest winner is undoubtedly Feng Wuxi, and they, the majestic princes on weekdays, are just foils, and this realization makes them particularly dissatisfied.
After returning to the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor waved his hand and pushed everyone back, and only he and Ming Fang Zhenren were left in the empty hall. "Zhenren, how do you feel about meeting all my sons today?" The emperor's eyes flashed with light, he was no longer the kind father, if Ming Fang Zhenren said that a certain son might rebel, he would probably order him to be executed immediately.
"Does the emperor want to hear the truth?" Ming Fang Zhenren stood in the shadows, and the emperor could not see the expression on his face.
"I've come all the way to ask you to come here just to find out the exact answer." The Emperor sighed, "Say it, I'm prepared for this. β
"Then the poor Dao will be frankly admitted," Ming Fang Zhenren looked very tired, "Among the ten princes of the emperor, all of them are extraordinary, and if there is external help, more than half of them have the Ninety-Five Heavenly Mandate." β
This sentence hit the emperor who was quite calm just now like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he reached out to hold the table, barely supporting his crumbling body, and then asked: "Real person, you are sure that you are not mistaken, but although they are still fighting in secret, they will not cause much trouble!" β
"Since ancient times, disasters have been within the walls." Ming Fang Zhenren's eyes shone in the darkness, "Your Majesty, Poor Dao is just to be honest, among the ten princes, except for the seven princes, who are indeed not loved by the Mandate of Heaven, the rest have the image of Ninety-Five, although the strength of the vision is different, but they all have the ambition to fight for the world, this will not be wrong." β
"No trace, only no trace can be the emperor?" The emperor muttered to himself, "Also, his health has always been bad, and it is natural that he does not have that heart." However, not to mention it for the time being, my second prince is from a humble background, and there is absolutely no possibility of inheriting the unification, can you be mistaken? β
"His Royal Highness is a person who can't bear it, this can be seen from his face alone, since the emperor says so, he must not pay much attention to it on weekdays. On this basis, it can be asserted that he must be full of resentment, so it is not surprising that he covets the position of great treasure. β
"True person, I don't understand the so-called celestial phenomena, but can anyone who has a heart for the Great Treasure be favored by the Mandate of Heaven? In this way, did the rebellious ministers and thieves of the past and present also come into being? The emperor's face was unusually ugly, which may have made his heart sink into the bottomless abyss.
"There must be a cause and an effect, Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, but ordinary people don't know it." Ming Fang Zhenren looked directly into the emperor's eyes and did not back down, "Therefore, if you find a poor way to calculate the number of the prince's life, it will also bring endless troubles, because from now on, they are probably not only your sons." Alas, there is no father and son in the emperor's family, and all major matters must be decided by the emperor. β
The emperor paced back and forth in the main hall, and the sudden news made his mind no longer at peace, should he let his blood and bones kill each other? God, why did you give me so many rebels! Looking at the Ming Fang Zhenren in the hall, he only felt that he was extremely stupid, if he didn't know this, then he could still treat these children with a fatherly attitude from time to time, but now, it will never be possible.
His expression instantly became extremely cold, since the matter has come to this, then let them go! "Zhenren, you must have already calculated everything before you came, then, although I am not the first emperor to entrust the matter of succession to someone outside the party, but I will not be the last, can you tell me who is the most suitable prince for the unification?"
Ming Fang Zhenren shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, please forgive the poor Dao, there is no fight until the last moment, and no one can be sure of the winner." Originally, according to the appearance, the most suitable heir could be selected from among the many princes, but the emperor's princes seemed to have an impenetrable barrier. Poor Dao has never seen such a vision since he learned the principle of life number since he was a child, so he can't do anything about it. "Ming Fang Zhenren's heart swept over the stars not long ago like lightning, and he couldn't help but shudder, the art of heavenly reason, manpower is extremely poor!
"Then Dao Chief, I have to wronged you to live in the palace, and I must guard against these rebels." The emperor looked at Ming Fang Zhenren with a smile, "Even if we can't know who my successor is now, I guess with the divine powers of the Dao Chief, I will definitely be able to deduce it in the near future." β
Ming Fang Zhenren was silent for a long time, he knew that the emperor's words were already quite polite, and if he didn't agree, he was afraid that the disaster of killing would be in an instant. Although he is only one step away from the Great Dao, as long as there is such a thing...... Therefore, in the event of a tyrant, there will be no one to temper. Because of this, these outsiders have also been paying attention to the outside world, and the entire cultivation world can only pass down such a rule, not to disobey the king of Lingyun, thinking of this, Ming Fang Zhenren seemed to have a few of his young disciples in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
"Just according to the emperor's words, however, Poor Dao has a small request." Ming Fang Zhenren said calmly, "As the only talent of the auxiliary minister, it seems that His Royal Highness Seventh has not had a good master so far, so Poor Dao hopes to be able to teach this child." β
The emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed, he never thought that Ming Fang Zhenren would make such a request. In his opinion, even if Feng Wuxian can indeed be trusted, that weak body is the biggest obstacle, and now that he can get this help, he can rest assured. However, suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, Ming Fang Zhenren looked at Feng Wuxian so differently, was there any other reason in it? He smiled to himself again, what the hell is wrong with him, Feng Wuxi, who has never been liked by Concubine Yu, can be said to have no power behind it, so it is a good time for him to cultivate him.
"Then it's tiring to say goodbye." The emperor solemnly bowed to Ming Fang Zhenren, "Everything is entrusted to the will of heaven!"
