Chapter 464: Ambition

Inexplicably has a younger brother, Wu Haoxuan of course can't sit still. Although, he didn't think that the little guy who had just been born could pose a threat to his throne. But who can guarantee that those who oppose him will not take the opportunity to make waves?

Wu Haoxuan has great prestige in the imperial government and army. Especially in the Imperial Army, his influence was unmatched. The army and navy of the empire were all formed by him. Those high-ranking generals, although there are old people from the Wu Xingquan era. But all of them went to a high position because of Wu Haoxuan. After firmly grasping the barrel of the gun, the others will not be able to make any waves.

In terms of the government system, the prime minister is Wu Haoxuan's person, and the other major ministers are almost all Wu Haoxuan's henchmen. Only local governments have some old-fashioned bureaucracy. Therefore, Wu Haoxuan's control of the domestic political situation is very strict, and no one can compare with him.

Even so, of course. There must still be people who oppose him in the country. Especially those whose interests have been affected, they must hate Wu Haoxuan to the core. For example, the old and young remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they suddenly changed from the nobles who ruled the country to the ordinary people. Their wealth was also confiscated, which was enough for them and Wu Haoxuan to fight hard. In addition, those landlords in China, because of Wu Haoxuan's land redemption policy, lost the land that had been passed down from generation to generation overnight. Although, some landlords used the money from the sale of land to invest in industry and commerce, and made a lot of money. But there are also people who lose all their money. They must hate Wu Haoxuan very much.

Therefore, Wu Haoxuan still has a lot of enemies in China. It's just that the empire is in a booming upward period, so those people don't dare to show it. But. If something happens to Wu Haoxuan, Wu Xingquan's little prince who was just born will inevitably become the object of these people's support. This made Wu Haoxuan have to prepare in advance.

"Your Highness, how do we return to Yanjing?" Li Yanling asked.

Wu Haoxuan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Take the boat." The Navy's light cruiser 'Mukden' was in the east, and we took the 'Mukden' light cruiser directly to Jinmen. Then return to Yanjing from Jinmen. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Yanling nodded. At this juncture, it is undoubtedly the safest to return to Yanjing by warship. Even if it is against Wu Haoxuan, it is impossible to do anything to the warship. After all, the navy was built by Wu Haoxuan. The Imperial Navy is even more loyal to Wu Haoxuan, even the Imperial Emperor Wu Xingquan may not be able to command the Navy.

The light cruiser "Mukden" was originally after the end of the cruise to the western Pacific. Prepare to go to Zhoushan, where a naval base is being built. It's just that Wu Haoxuan's order allowed the light cruiser 'Fengtian' to stay in the east.

Late at night on 28 September, Wu Haoxuan and his entourage boarded the light cruiser 'Fengtian'. After the captain of the light cruiser 'Fengtian' recognized Wu Haoxuan, his face was even more excited. In the minds of the officers and men of the Imperial Navy, Wu Haoxuan had already become a god-like existence.

The light cruiser "Mukden" set off from the east and sailed at high speed of 20 knots all the way. In just two days, Wu Haoxuan arrived at Jinmen. Late at night on September 30th. Wu Haoxuan had already returned to Yanjing's imperial palace from Jinmen.

It's just that he never had a good way to deal with this matter in his mind. The only way is for the little prince to keep to himself. In this way, he can continue to live. But if someone else picks him up. If he did something that threatened Wu Haoxuan, then he could only be ruthless once.

Wu Haoxuan is not the only one who is also troublesome. In fact, the emperor Wu Xingquan has long since woken up from the excitement of the old man. Instead, it was a deep concern.

Wu Xingquan is still very self-aware, he knows that he is a person with no ambitions. So even if he became the emperor, he indulged in pleasure and handed over all state affairs to Wu Haoxuan to handle. He knew that he didn't have a lot of material to run the country. was able to become the emperor of the empire entirely because Wu Haoxuan had filial piety. Although, Wu Xingquan knew that he had been completely hollowed out, without any actual power. However, he didn't care. With the name of an emperor on your shoulder, you can enjoy all kinds of beauty and wine, what could be more joyful?

"Your Majesty, it's already deep, aren't you resting?" A young woman moved lightly, came to Wu Xingquan's side, and looked at him with tender eyes.

This little woman is Wu Xingquan's favorite concubine He Shi, named He Wanting, the daughter of a big salt merchant in Suzhou Province. Although she is only sixteen years old now, she is graceful and graceful, a typical Jiangnan girl. Although He Wanting was born in a businessman, she was cautious and angry, and she didn't look down on the idle young man Junjie at all. Hell-bent on setting up the most powerful person in the world.

The most powerful person in the world is naturally the emperor. So, when Wu Xingquan was choosing a concubine, she signed up. After passing five levels and killing six generals, he finally got his wish and entered the palace. and soon attracted Wu Xingquan's attention, turning Wu Xingquan's confusion. Now, he has given birth to a prince for Wu Xingquan. It stands to reason that a mother is more expensive than a child, so is there anything she is not satisfied with?

In fact, He Wanting's ambition is even greater than most people imagine. Originally, he just wanted to be the queen and the mother of the world. However, after entering the palace, she realized that the so-called emperor was just a puppet, and the power of the country was in the hands of Wu Haoxuan. And Wu Haoxuan is the crown prince of the empire, and the entire empire will be his in the future.

This made He Wanting very jealous in her heart, why is Wu Xingquan's son, Wu Haoxuan able to be the crown prince, and he will be able to be the emperor in the future. And her son can only be a prince with no real power? If her son could replace Wu Haoxuan and become the crown prince of the empire, how great it would be! With this idea, ambition inevitably grew in her heart like a weed.

"Did Jerry sleep?" Wu Xingquan raised his head and looked at this beauty he loved so much.

"I'm asleep after feeding. What's bothering Your Majesty? He Wanting asked.

"Alas! I don't know if Jer's birth is a good thing. Wu Xingquan sighed.

"Ahh What does this mean, Your Majesty? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't accommodate a newborn baby? Jer'er had just been born, how could she possibly pose a threat to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have this open-mindedness, how can he be worthy of becoming the future heir of the empire? He Wanting quietly began to smear Wu Haoxuan.

"Shut up! Is that what you can say? The whole world was beaten down by Haoxuan. He doesn't deserve to be the heir to the empire, so who does? Wu Xingquan was furious. Even though, he loves He Wanting very much. However, he is not a fool. The whole world is under Wu Haoxuan's control, even if he, the emperor, wants to abolish Wu Haoxuan, it will be in vain. If it doesn't work out, it will force Wu Haoxuan to be anxious and do something that everyone doesn't want to see.

"Your Majesty, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has laid down the country and made great contributions. But you are the true emperor! The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Even if it's the crown prince, then you have to listen to it! He Wanting said.

"Enough, I don't want to hear anything like that again." Wu Xingquan said with a dark face.

Even though, He Wanting's words gave him some touch. However, he didn't think he really had the ability to abolish Wu Haoxuan. Besides, Wu Haoxuan is filial to him, how could he destroy his relationship with Wu Haoxuan for the sake of a newborn little prince?

"Stand down." Wu Xingquan said coldly.

"Yes, the concubine retired." He Wanting retreated.

Wu Xingquan sat in his chair and fell into deep thought.

"Hao Xuan should know about Hao Xuan's birth, but I don't know what kind of reaction he will make." Wu Xingquan thought secretly.

Although he is the emperor of the empire, he knows that his orders may not even be able to get out of this Forbidden City. Even, even those guards in the Forbidden City were Wu Haoxuan's people. He, the emperor, is nothing more than a puppet. If Wu Haoxuan is unhappy, he can abdicate anytime and anywhere. Under such circumstances, how dare he have the intention of abolishing Wu Haoxuan?

"I hope Haoxuan will take care of the feelings of brotherhood and don't need to be a killer." Wu Xingquan sighed. He, the emperor, is really good enough. If Wu Haoxuan really wants to be ruthless and kill that little prince. Even if he was the emperor, he couldn't do anything about it. However, Wu Xingquan knew that with Wu Haoxuan's character, he would not deny his relatives like this. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, He Wanting herself does not seek death. If He Wanting did something to find her own death, then she couldn't blame others.

On the other side, after He Wanting stepped back, she was also angry in her heart. It's just that in front of Wu Xingquan, she didn't dare to show the slightest.

"Why? Why can't the prince move? He, the emperor, really has enough pockets. In any case, Jerry can't just be an idle prince in name only. He is also qualified to become the co-ruler of the world. He Wanting thought secretly.

It was He Wanting's unrealistic ambition that made her completely embark on a road of no return. Even if Wu Haoxuan would let her go, Wu Haoxuan's people would definitely not let such a dangerous factor continue to exist. (To be continued.) )
