The land of Cangzhou is divided into five prefectures, except for the one at the very end of Cangzhou, the other four prefectures are bounded by the Wanjiang River, and there are two prefectures on each side of the Wanjiang River.

From the cross-river bridge to the other side of the river, the Mo River comes to Pingchuan Province, which is located on the other side of the river, and from here, the Mo River can reach the territory of Jingzhou.

Pingchuan Mansion is different from the Wancang Mansion that Mohe has seen before, the terrain of Pingchuan Mansion is almost all Pingchuan, there are few mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile, there is a tributary of Wanjiang River in the territory, which is convenient for planting and irrigation, although it will also hunt demons in the river, but it attaches more importance to farming.

Mohe came to Pingchuan Mansion, naturally it is indispensable to travel and familiarize himself, a few months, now it has just begun, the main purpose of his trip has been achieved, the reference exercises have been in hand, and you can travel freely in the future, as long as you rush back in time to time.

In the territory of Pingchuan Mansion, there are a total of these two small sects, perhaps for this reason, Pingchuan Mansion, which has a significantly better environment, has fewer scattered cultivators than Wancang Mansion.

In a restaurant in Pingchuan Prefecture, Mo He was sitting by the window on the second floor, looking at the pedestrians on a street outside the window, but he was suddenly attracted by the whispered conversation between the two behind him.

"Brother Li, there is news from the government today, saying that in the court of the dynasty, because of the candidate for the next emperor, there has been a debate, almost half of the courtiers support the sixth prince Xia Yuan, but the emperor has not established the sixth prince Xia Yuan as his successor, is it possible that the emperor is not optimistic about the candidate for the next emperor of the people?"

"What Brother Zhang asked, I'm afraid that now the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty want to know, among the several princes who are still staying by the side of the emperor, the sixth prince Xia Yuan is the oldest, practicing the martial arts of the gods, for the soldiers of the world, long before the founding of the dynasty, has made great achievements, after the founding of the country, he has made countless meritorious achievements, among the princes, who is more qualified than him to sit on the throne of the emperor?"

Mo He heard the conversation between the two people on a table behind him, turned his head silently, glanced in that direction, and saw that it was two people dressed as scribes, looking at the breath on the two of them, these two people should be students of the local hundred schools, and what they learned should be the study of the Hongwen family, and the aura on their bodies is not very strong, almost equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of entering the Dao.

Among the hundreds of schools, students are not forbidden to discuss state affairs, and even from time to time to tell students some information above the court, so that they can understand the changes in the current situation, after all, these students, after learning in the future, most of them will enter the government as officials, whether it is to govern the outside party, or to stand on the court, these things are always better to understand.

Since the last time the emperor fell ill, which led to the reduction of the position of the law for a while, the news about the early determination of the successor of the next emperor has not stopped, and now the princes who are interested in the position of the emperor are staying by the side of the emperor, so everyone is already very clear about who is competing for the position of the emperor.

In the entire government and the opposition, this is not a secret matter, and the students of these two hundred schools do not care about discussing this matter in public.

As for who the next emperor is, Mo He is actually quite concerned, but now that he has left Zi'an County, without Su Bai, it is very difficult for Mo He to quickly understand the information above the court, and it just so happened that the two students at the table behind him talked about it, and Mo He was also happy to learn about it from them.

"That's the case, but according to the news from the government, there are already so many courtiers in the court, and the emperor has not determined that the sixth prince Xia Yuan is the next emperor, I am afraid that in the heart of the emperor of the people, there is really another candidate, among the remaining princes, there are only two or three people who can stand out, except for the sixth prince Xia Yuan, Brother Li thinks the emperor of the people has a fancy which one!"

"I can't guess this, I only hope that the Emperor of the People can confirm the candidate for the next Emperor of the People as soon as possible, no matter which prince it is, at least it can make the power of the law of the dynasty more stable, so that it will not be like last time, the emperor of the people fell ill, causing the power of the law of the dynasty to weaken, and the water demons in the ten thousand rivers have come ashore!"

Mo He listened to the conversation of the two hundred students behind him, and felt a little surprised in his heart, "Listening to the meaning of these two hundred students, the human emperor does not seem to have any intention of appointing the sixth prince Xia Yuan as the next human emperor, even if nearly half of the courtiers support it, he did not express his position directly, it seems that the sixth prince Xia Yuan wants to become the human emperor, it is not as easy as imagined." ”

Mo He has seen the sixth prince Xia Yuan with his own eyes, and has a deep impression of the sixth prince Xia Yuan, this is a handsome man with a rough appearance, but a very calm heart, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is very strong, as a human emperor, Xia Yuan's merits and abilities should be enough, at least among the princes known to Mo He, none of them can be comparable to the six princes Xia Yuan, but now Xia Yuan does not seem to be the successor in the heart of the human emperor, so among the other princes, which one does the human emperor prefer?

The position of the human emperor is related to the law of the human race, as well as the luck of the dynasty, the last time the human emperor fell ill, it led to the weakening of the power of the law, and there was some turmoil in a small area. Therefore, even if the affairs of the dynasty can be handled by the civil and military officials in the court, the choice of the emperor must still be cautious, after all, the emperor of this world, because of the importance of his position, has already determined that the emperor cannot be completely hollowed out.

After coming to this world for so long, Mo He has also integrated into the current world, as a member of the human race, and a Taoist official, these things are closely related to him, plus the master Qingmei Daochang has also become a god enshrined by the dynasty, so he has to care more about these.

Mo He was still listening silently, to see if he could hear some deeper news from the mouths of those two hundred students, and far away in the imperial center of Shenzhou, the imperial capital of the dynasty, the power center of the entire dynasty, far away from a military camp tent in the palace, a middle-aged man with a rough face was sitting there with a silent face, it was Xia Yuan, the sixth prince that Mo He had seen.

On the left and right sides in front of him, there were dozens of civil and military henchmen, among whom there was one Mo He who would be familiar with it after seeing it, it was Wen Siming, who served as the county lord in Zi'an County for a short time.

"Your Highness, you might as well take a step back for the time being, agree to His Majesty's request, there is no need to be so stiff with His Majesty the Emperor!" The atmosphere in the big tent was very dull, and finally a man dressed as a military general couldn't help but break the silence.

Wen Siming, who was standing opposite the general, heard this, looked up at the military general who was speaking, and secretly scolded "reckless" in his heart!

It's already at this time, and he still says such things in front of the six princes, isn't this deliberately touching the mold of His Royal Highness the Six Princes?

If His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is willing to take a step back, then today, the Emperor will announce that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince will become the next Emperor of the People, so why wait until now?

Sure enough, after the military general's words were finished, Xia Yuan, the sixth prince who bowed his head and looked silent, slowly raised his head, and glanced at the military general who had just spoken with a sharp gaze, and the general's body immediately trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but take half a step back, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his forehead.

"The last general has lost his word, please forgive your highness!"

Forcibly enduring the discomfort on his body, this military general immediately confessed to the sixth prince Xia Yuan, as a general who has followed Xia Yuan for a long time, he also knows Xia Yuan's temper better, the look Xia Yuan gave him just now was really angry, and there was already a trace of killing intent, and even let him experience the impact of Xia Yuan's killing intent.

"You are also the one who has been with me for a long time, such words should not come out of your mouth!" Seeing the appearance of this general, Xia Yuan said slowly.

After saying this, Xia Yuan stood up violently, strode to the general's side, stretched out his hand to straighten his body directly, and then looked straight into his eyes.

"At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, you followed me to the border of the human race and the demon race for the first time, accompanied by a million soldiers, fought for more than three years, and finally brought back less than 300,000 soldiers, you haven't forgotten it, right? In the seventy-fifth year after the founding of the dynasty, the demon clan raided on a large scale, and the reinforcements of the dynasty and the sect were blocked, and we fought continuously at the border for a month, almost sleepless, and the 8,000 soldiers who died of exhaustion, you haven't forgotten it?......"

Xia Yuan's voice became louder and louder, and when he said the last, he almost all shouted.

"Your Highness, the last general has not forgotten, the last general will not dare to forget, and the last general will not forget!" The military general who was stared at by the sixth prince Xia Yuan almost roared at the moment when Xia Yuan's voice fell.

"Then you tell me, how should I compromise, how should I agree to my father's request, so that the soldiers at the border pass can withstand the pressure, you come and tell me, how can I back down, in order to be worthy of those soldiers who defend the border pass?" Xia Yuan heard the roar of his subordinate, and at this time, his voice calmed down, and he asked in a normal voice again.

"This, the last general, damn it!" The military general was speechless, and then he could only lower his head, half-kneeling on the ground and said, but as soon as the words fell, he raised his head again, looked at Xia Yuan, the sixth prince in front of him, and continued to say another word.

"But Your Highness, if you don't agree, there will be other princes who will eventually agree, and the result still can't be changed, and if it's you, things may be ......!"

"Needless to say, if I agree, even if I sit on the throne of the human emperor, those soldiers guarding the border will be cold, and the entire dynasty will also be cold!" Xia Yuan interrupted the general's words.

Wen Siming, who was standing on the side, sighed in his heart, "Hey, I'm afraid the most chilling thing is His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince himself!"
