Chapter 640

When a person can show extraordinary calmness when he is extremely angry in his heart, then this person already has the potential for success.

Is the prince angry?

The answer is yes, because Feng Yunxiao's attitude in front of all the civil and military officials in the Qiankun Palace simply regarded him as nothing.

The crown prince does not know the true content of the imperial decree, but he can be sure that it is definitely not what Feng Yunxiao read out.

If it is still possible to let Feng Yunxiao assist him, but let him continue to command the military power of the empire and lead the southern border by himself, that is definitely not an order that the emperor of the empire will stay.

However, he had no way to refute, but to acquiesce.

Because, this is what Feng Yunxiao needs.

Prince's Hall.

Back in the palace where he lived, the prince's face was ashen and cold, and all the maids and guards who saw the prince's face couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"Prince...Prince, Princess Linglong and Lord Zuoshi are waiting for you in the back garden." A maid walked up to the prince cautiously, her voice trembling.

"Yeah" nodded, the prince ignored the strangeness of the maid, but went straight to the back garden of the huge Prince's Palace.

When he came to the back garden, he walked through clusters of fragrant flowers and a quiet and elegant bluestone road, and the prince came to a pavilion on the lake in the center of the garden.

There were two people sitting in the pavilion. They were dressed in black and they didn't see each other. The left envoy Qinshuang of the country's teacher and the princess Linglong, the younger sister of the prince.

"Brother Huang, what's the situation," Linglong asked after seeing the prince coming.

Shaking his head, the crown prince took the tea from Qin Shuang and drank it all in one gulp. Then he tightly held the jade cup in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Feng Yunxiao is gone and went to southern Xinjiang."

With her eyebrows lightly fixed, Linglong murmured, "Why is he leaving at this time, the emperor hasn't even been buried yet?"

"His goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether he stays in the imperial capital or not," Qin Shuang said, "Fortunately, we came back in time this time, otherwise he will do whatever he wants in the imperial capital. Prince, can you tell us about what happened today?"

Walking to the side of the pavilion, looking at the lake water wrinkled by the breeze below, the prince slowly told what happened in Qiankun Palace, and finally said, "Feng Yunxiao's control of southern border has become a fact, what I can do now, It is to win Yan Yin's support and help, otherwise, even if I sit on the throne, I will not even be able to truly control the border north of the Yanyun Mountain Range."

"Alas..." Qin Shuang sighed, "Unexpectedly, this day has come. If we win the support of Qingyue Mountain this time, maybe he won't be so presumptuous."

"Yes," the prince sighed, "If I marry Su Xin as my wife and make her the queen of the empire, then Qingyue Mountain will definitely stand by my side, and with the relationship between Su Xin and Yan Yin, he will definitely I will fully support me, but unfortunately, the head of Wanxin does not agree, "

"Brother Huang, this is not to blame for the head of Wanxin. After all, Su Xin is her apprentice. This identity alone is doomed that she cannot be married to you," Linglong said, "However, if it is another person Not only can the same effect be achieved, but the situation will be better.”

"Yan Yue," Qin Shuang said, "Yan Yi's daughter,"

Nodding her head, Linglong said, "Brother Huang, you are too hasty. If Su Xin is replaced by Yan Yue, it will not be the case now."

Shaking his head, the prince looked at Linglong and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about Yanyue, but it's impossible between me and her."

"Why?" Linglong asked puzzled.

"National teacher" the prince spit out.

Linglong and Qinshuang were startled, and they fell silent.

"Marrying Yanyue as the queen is naturally the best thing, but you should also be aware of the relationship between the national teacher and Yanyi. If I marry the daughter of the national teacher's opponent as the queen, it is tantamount to my future. Standing on the opposite side of the national teacher is even more unfavorable to me. If it weren't for the general and the national teacher, Feng Yunxiao would have already abolished me as the prince. This situation is not impossible," the prince said slowly. "So, only Su Xin is the best candidate, but..."

Sighing, the prince said, "Before leaving Qingyue Mountain, the head of Wanxin has already told me clearly that Qingyue Mountain will not interfere in the internal affairs of Fengyun Empire, which means that we cannot use Qingyue Mountain to suppress Fengyun Xiao up,"

"In this way, the only thing we can rely on now is Yanyin," Linglong said, "but Yanyin is not in the northern border now, and the one in charge of the military affairs in the northern border is Zhennan General Nangong Jian,"

"Without Yanyin, we can't really let Beijiang stand on our side," Qin Shuang said, "Yanyin not only represents Beijiang, but behind him are Qingyue Mountain and Qingyun Peak. Let Feng Yunxiao really feel afraid, this point, even Nangong Sword can't achieve this effect."

Nodding, the prince said, "I know this, so I'm waiting for Yan Yin to appear. In addition, Ye Qingchen sent a letter asking me to be the vice president of Yanwu Academy, and I agreed."

"Yanwu Academy," Qin Shuang looked at the prince with frowned eyebrows, and said, "What is this?"

Linglong on the side explained, "This is an academy proposed by Ye Qingchen and ordered to run it. Yanwu Academy is the same as Northern Academy in that it gathers talents for training. However, unlike other academies, Yanwu Academy only accepts warriors. At present, the information released by Beijiang is that Yan Yin is the dean, and several powerful generals under him, such as One Piece, Yu Yan, etc., are all temporary teachers of the academy, and masters of the Wuwang level like Mingming and Xueli are all He is a teacher on a temporary basis at the college, and even Nangong Jian, who just entered northern Xinjiang not long ago, was also appointed as the acting dean of Yanwu Academy. It can be said that this Yanwu Academy includes all the masters around Yanyin, and this school alone The lineup of teachers in the college surpasses the three major colleges, from the current point of view, it is obviously a good thing for Ye Qingchen to invite you, Brother Huang, to be the vice president of Yanwu College."

Nodding, the prince said, "It's also because of this that I agreed to this invitation. In addition, I asked Wu Hao to escort Yang Fan and Ling Tian to the northern border. At that time, they will represent the Yang family and the Ling family to reach some agreements with the northern border." , to mobilize the resources of the two companies to help the rapid development of northern Xinjiang,"

"It's good to have the support of the Yang family and the Ling family. With the addition of the Su family who retreated to the northern border, it can be said that the four major business groups of the empire are still in the north," Qin Shuang mused. Money can be a strong backstop,"

"Well," Linglong nodded and said, "What we have to do now is to stabilize the situation as much as possible, at least to firmly grasp the world north of the Yanyun Mountain Range."

Nodding his head, the prince said, "If you keep going step by step, there will always be a day of success,"

Looking at Linglong, the prince said, "Linglong, what do you think of Yan Yin?"

Linglong was taken aback for a moment, looked at her imperial brother and asked, "Emperor brother, what do you mean by that?"

"If you think Yan Yin is good, I want to issue an imperial decree to marry you to him on the day I ascend the throne," the prince said, "For the sake of this empire, I need his wholehearted help,"

Linglong didn't make a sound, but fell silent.

"Prince, should you think about it?" Qin Shuang said, "Let's not talk about anything else, even if you want to get married, you have to let Yanyin propose it first, otherwise it will just damage the identity of Princess Linglong."

After pondering for a moment, he glanced at Linglong, and the prince said, "Okay then, let's press this matter for now."

Looking at Qin Shuang, the prince said, "I decided to restore Yan Yi's identity on the day of enthronement, and canonize him and Nangong Jian as Zhenbei King and Zhennan King. Master Zuoshi, what do you think?"

After pondering for a while, Qin Shuang said, "It's not impossible, but it's like this on the day of enthronement, I'm afraid it will make Feng Yunxiao think that we are directly targeting him, and will it cause unnecessary troubles?"

"It doesn't matter," the prince said, "Since Feng Yunxiao can talk nonsense in front of civil and military officials, so can I. I will use the monarch's decree as an excuse to make a decree. Even if it is Feng Yunxiao, he has nothing to say. "

Three days later, all the people in the imperial capital were dressed in plain clothes.

Because the emperor of the empire will be buried today, and the location is the royal cemetery in the north outside the city of the empire.

According to the past rules of the empire, when the monarch dies, all his concubines and concubines will be buried.

However, although this monarch is not very wise and has done a few stupid things, he has only one queen in his life and no other concubines.

This is also the reason why in such a huge empire, there is only one prince, the prince, and one princess, Linglong.

Of course, this is also a good thing for the prince.

At least, he avoided the situation in the previous dynasties where princes fought among princes for the throne.

Although Feng Yunxiao did not attend the funeral of the emperor of the empire, many people belonging to his influence showed up.

For example, Hua Wushang, the master of Tingyu Tower, Xiang Fei, the master of Anxiang Pavilion, Qi Yiming of Sun Moon Sect, Huohuang of Wanhuo Sect, Lingyue of Youfeng Sect, and Mr. Mo of Sinister Beast Sect, etc. The suzerain is present.

Not only that, but the two gray-clothed men who had appeared in the meeting of saints also appeared in the field.

The funeral of the emperor of the empire was grand and solemn, luxurious and spectacular, and the scene of the officials bowing their heads made even the suzerain heads of the various sects surprised by it.

"After everyone dies, a final conclusion must be made for him. I don't know how everyone present will evaluate the life of the emperor of the empire," just as the ice coffin of the emperor of the empire was about to be sent to the mausoleum that had been built for him long ago. , A voice came into everyone's ears.

Everyone looked for the sound, but the one who spoke was Hua Wushang, the host of Ting Yulou.

He is still so handsome and unrestrained, holding a long fan, he has an air of elegant Lingchen in it.

Looking at Hua Wushang, the prince said calmly, "This is a matter for the empire, you don't need to worry about it,"

"His Royal Highness said this wrongly. Now we all live in the territory of Fengyun Empire, and we are also regarded as citizens of Fengyun Empire. While we regret the death of the emperor of the empire, we also really want future generations to understand this monarch. , so this is naturally very important to the monarch's final conclusion," Hua Wushang smiled and said, "If the crown prince is difficult to say, then I will speak for you."

"A person who has neither the majesty of a monarch nor the ambition of a monarch has sat on the position of a monarch that should not belong to him." Looking around, Hua Wushang put away his long fan and said with a smile, "This is my respect for the person in the coffin." evaluation of,"
