Chapter 190 The Regent



Li Chang'an looked at the task given by the system and fell into deep thought.

The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, a seed of future revolution?

To overthrow one's own people?

The chosen one?

These four words sounded so familiar, he turned to look at Su Xiao.

It seems I've taken in a woman of great fortune.

To be honest, if it weren't for the existence of the system, Li Chang'an would really be no match for his own disciple.

In just over a year, he has grown to a height of nearly 1.2 meters.

She is completely different from the witty and brave Lin Dongdong.

One grows vertically, and the other grows horizontally.

One gets taller, the other gets heavier.

Moreover, no matter what he's learning, this apprentice of mine learns exceptionally quickly.

The clever and brave Lin Dongdong eats very quickly, finishing three bowls of rice in no time.

In terms of academics, Su Xiao is also a prodigy, solving many math problems that Li Chang'an can only solve.

She can figure it out.

Li Chang'an is no longer able to teach her, so he has to hand her over to someone else for education.

Aside from ideological lessons, which Li Chang'an would occasionally say to her, everything else was taught to her by others.

Now another chosen one has arrived, and he suddenly feels like he has become the old man inside the ring.

Coming into this world is to guide the chosen one.

However, Li Chang'an did not refuse; the rewards offered by the system were quite tempting.

Doraemon's magic pocket.

This thing, if placed in a normal place, would be like a cheat code.

Getting this is like having three cheat codes.

In this way, life from now on will be even more dull, boring, and tedious.

Most importantly, Li Chang'an also wanted to see if there was anything in this magical pocket that could enhance his body.

I am fine now, I don't need to excrete, I won't grow old, and I am untouched by the world.

Apart from kidney deficiency, I'm basically fine.

However, kidney deficiency is the biggest problem for men.

He hoped that the magic pocket might contain something that could cure his kidney deficiency.

Thinking of this, Li Chang'an helped Emperor Jianyuan and his wife up.

"Your Majesty, I may never have children in my life, but the child in the Empress's womb is destined to be with me. I would like to take him as my disciple. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan looked up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief.

In the eyes of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, the terms "master and apprentice" were almost synonymous with "father and son."

A teacher for a day is a father for life.

This is a statement that everyone agrees on.

When the master passes away, the disciple must wear mourning clothes; otherwise, he is considered unfilial.

They will be criticized and may even break the law.

Even death row inmates are allowed to see their parents and children one last time before they are beheaded.

If not, a master or apprentice is also acceptable.

If a master has no male disciples, then the disciple can rightfully inherit the master's property.

Everyone would think it's the right thing to do, and no one would criticize it.

"Apprentice, apprentice," a disciple is practically half a son.

So Emperor Jianyuan was somewhat excited at that moment; he couldn't believe his ears.

Gongsun Li, with tears in her eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, fearing that Li Chang'an might change his mind.

"On behalf of the child in my womb, I kowtow to the immortal. Thank you, immortal. Thank you, immortal."

At that moment, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The carriage returned to the Marquis of Anping's residence, taking Li Chang'an and his entourage back.

Emperor Jianyuan sat on the dragon throne, closing his eyes to rest.

He then gestured for Cao Zhengchun to come in.

"An imperial decree was issued, bestowing upon Marquis Anping, Li Chang'an, the title of Supreme Heavenly Venerable Imperial Tutor of the Great Ming Dynasty, granting him authority over all religious sects, including Confucianism."

"Furthermore, local officials must establish temples dedicated to the Supreme Celestial Venerable to ensure favorable weather and abundant harvests for the Ming Dynasty."

"I hereby appoint Marquis Anping, Li Chang'an, as the Regent of the Great Ming Dynasty, bestow upon him a five-clawed dragon robe and the founding jade seal, and also send him several sets of my dragon throne."

"Remember, it must be made of pure gold, not like my dragon throne, which has other things mixed in."

"Finally, I hereby proclaim to the world that from this day forward, the Regent Prince shall handle state affairs on my behalf, and anyone who speaks dissenting words shall have their entire family (ten generations) executed."

Upon hearing this order, Cao Zhengchun had no objections whatsoever.

He felt a little bitter, though, because he had to issue the imperial edict himself again.

The others either don't have enough status, or they have too much status.

Of the three chief inspectors of the Eastern Depot, Wang Zhongxian was out supervising the case of Yan Song.

Yu Huatian held a higher official position than him, so Cao Zhengchun had no way to command him.

When others were sent to issue the imperial edict, Emperor Jianyuan felt that his status was insufficient and that Li Chang'an would feel slighted.

Chen Fenghuo would rather pack his things and escape from the Ming Dynasty than face Li Chang'an.

Cao Zhengchun, the personal eunuch, was the most unlucky, as he was always the one to deliver the imperial edict.

Whose eunuch is kneeling to deliver the imperial edict?

I've never heard of such a rule before, either from ancient times to the present.

Cao Zhengchun can be considered the first person in history to achieve this.

well!

With a sigh, Cao Zhengchun turned and left.

Inside the carriage, Gongsun Li held Emperor Jianyuan's hand and asked a question.

"Your Majesty, we can rest assured this time."

"No matter what, at least the child's life has been saved."

Emperor Jianyuan was also very happy; he had long since given up on being that damned emperor.

Now I can finally be free.

From now on, Li Chang'an will be standing behind him.

No matter what, he was no longer afraid.

It feels so good to have someone protecting you.

The imperial edict was passed very quickly; it was issued almost as soon as it was spoken.
