Xie Jue did not expect that the high priest would perform a grand ceremony. Because of his experience in the Northern Barbarians, Xie Jue thought that all high priests were arrogant and rude. These religious priests are also extreme, extreme, and arrogant in character. This was his consistent prejudice against priests.

"Priest, please get up!" Xie Jue stood up and helped him. He knew the status of the high priest in Sangnan. Compared with the priests of the Northern Barbarians, the high priest of Sangnan had more power. He could control the imperial power and had the right to speak. Back then, It was the priests who had the final say on who the clan would choose as emperor.

Du Fang stood up with a smile and looked at the son of the rumored eldest princess.

Xie Jue looks like the Marquis of Zhenbei, but actually she doesn't look like the eldest princess. She doesn't even look like the eldest princess. Princess Sangnan is like an invisible person in the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion, with a gentle personality and no independent opinions. She doesn't strive for favor and be the best. Although she is Xie Jue's biological mother, in fact, both Xie Zhang and Xie Jue were brought up more by Mrs. Hou since childhood.

Because although the two aunts in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion are the sons' biological mothers, emotionally, the two sons treat them the same as Mrs. Hou, and are even closer to Mrs. Hou. Xie Jue was in poor health when he was young. He was raised by the eldest princess for two years. After he was six years old, he was almost out of the backyard and did not get along with the ladies day and night. Therefore, there was no similarity between him and the eldest princess. No matter what Whether it's their preferences or their personalities, they are all completely different.

If you look for traces of the eldest princess on him, you will definitely be disappointed. Xie Jue also knows this, so he is not afraid of the high priest's scrutiny.

In terms of age, the high priest and the eldest princess were similar in age, and their attitude was so respectful, so they seemed to be friends.

Xie Jue ordered people to serve tea. Fang Chuning saw that he was harmless and there was a shadow guard in the dark. The high priest came to see Xie Jue and he should have something to say in private, so he went down accordingly.

"You look nothing like Her Royal Highness the Princess." The high priest spoke straightforwardly.

Xie Jue nodded, "Yes, I am more like my father."

"pity!"

Xie Jue raised his eyebrows, wondering what the pity was. Although his aunt was born with a beautiful country, his father was also born with extraordinary martial prowess. He inherited all the advantages. When they first met, they only looked at their appearance. What's the pity?

The high priest said, "Everyone has said that you are the eldest son of Her Royal Highness the Princess and a direct bloodline of our Sangnan royal family. However, Her Royal Highness the Princess died young and no one can prove it. Your appearance is not similar to hers at all. The correspondence between the Marquis of Zhenbei and the king makes it difficult to prove your direct identity."

Xie Jue said coldly, "I was born in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and grew up in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. I have been loyal to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion all my life. I never heard that I was of the blood of Princess Sangnan when I was a child. I only knew that my biological mother was from Sangnan. Until One day, Ningzhou received a letter. Someone was making a fuss about my life experience to force my brother to surrender. Only then did I find out that my biological mother was the princess of Sangnan. To be honest, this status was really embarrassing for me. I couldn’t inherit Ningzhou. As a state cavalry, secondly, I cannot ascend the throne over my younger brother, and thirdly, I have to be criticized and surrounded by rumors. I don’t want to be the blood of Princess Sangnan, and I have never cared about this blood relationship. It is you, King Sangnan, and the crown prince. The entanglement is endless, since they believe that I am of princess blood, it is up to them to prove that I am, not for me to prove it myself."

The high priest was slightly startled, "I don't care, the king and the prince have murderous intentions towards you, why are you here?"

"In order for my brother to become the Mingjun overlord with proud achievements, my brother will recover the land sent by Yuwen Dynasty and expand the territory. Of course, you can also understand that I am here for the peace of the two races, and Ningzhou fights After so many years, the Northern Barbarians have all surrendered, and I really don’t want another war in the south of the Yangtze River.” Xie Jue was frank, even more frank than the high priest expected, and he didn’t even bother to talk about the situation. “So, you are not interested in the Sonnan throne?”

Xie Jue pondered, "I'm only interested in things that belong to me."

"Interesting!" The high priest was surprised. "Our priesthood only recognizes the direct bloodline of Sang Nan. You are the only direct bloodline. Does it count? This should belong to you?"

"The high priest just said that I cannot prove that I am of princess blood. Anyone can say that his mother is Princess Sangnan without any proof." Xie Jue asked, "Then does this belong to me?"

"Then it depends on how His Highness proves himself."

"What if I don't want to prove myself?"

"If there is no proof, the Priesthood will not recognize your identity."

"Does the high priest come here hoping that I will prove myself, or does he not?"

"Then it depends on what His Highness plans to do. In your heart, is blood more important or power?" The high priest looked into Xie Jue's eyes calmly, "I see ambition in His Highness's eyes. You are by no means willing to surrender. A professed person."

"It depends on who I call my vassal. To my father, eldest brother and younger brother, I don't care whether I am a vassal or a monarch." Over the past few years, his and Xie Xun's duty has been to assist him and defend the Ningzhou cavalry.

He has been trained as an assistant minister since he was a child!

But some people don’t believe it! (End of chapter)
