Chapter 178 Why appoint a crown prince? Isn't the crown princess attractive?



Chapter 178 Why appoint a crown prince? Isn't the crown princess attractive?

After the court was adjourned, the adults gathered in groups of three or four.

"You heard about it too?" Guo Xuanyi glanced at his old partner.

"Of course. It's such a big thing, who wouldn't know about it?" Ma Zhou smiled knowingly.

The two of them were talking back and forth as if they were telling a riddle.

"To be honest with you, I have already asked my family to go to the capital of Daxia to buy a property." Guo Xuanyi said proudly.

Ma Zhou's eyes widened.

"Guo Xuanyi, you're so good that you got there first."

"What are they talking about?" Some low-ranking court officials could not understand at all.

"Didn't you buy Daxia's copy of The Royal Residence Gazette?" someone kindly reminded.

The minister, who had a keen political sense, bought the newspaper as soon as possible and discovered important things from it.

After the officials of Beiyong and Xichang surrendered, they could continue to serve in the court. If the officials of Southern Xinjiang surrendered, they would have to make plans early.

First go to the capital to grab a position and prepare for the examination, and then continue to shine in the officialdom of Daxia.

They had no guilt at all about surrendering.

Your Majesty said that they are sacrificing their own interests for the greater good, and everything is for the sake of the lives of the people.

Besides, we have been one family for thousands of years. Now we are just returning to the embrace of the big family, which does not count as betraying the country.

I have to say that Lu Yanshi made a brilliant move.

Spread the news of the miracle of the Weishui River to southern Xinjiang and Dongluo in advance. No matter whether they believe it or not, spread it first.

As more people spread the word, some people will definitely believe it.

The news that Daxia used the "Nine Princesses" to attack Southern Xinjiang was immediately reported back to Dongluo.

They have been sending people to keep a close eye on the situation on the battlefield here.

Upon learning about the power of the "Ninth Princess" and the scene of the soldiers in Southern Xinjiang having their bodies torn into pieces, Helian Ao became even more panicked.

"Royal sister, we can't beat Da Xia. We really can't."

He muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion and fear.

Heliansa Ri knew this fact, but she just didn't want to admit it.

"Royal brother, what do you think?" She looked at the younger brother whom she had raised.

"Royal sister, why don't you surrender?" Helian Aodu looked at her cautiously.

Helian Sazhi stared at him for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.

"You are the king, you have the final say. If so, then surrender."

Helian Aodu felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say.

"If you want to surrender, you have to do it quickly, faster than in southern Xinjiang. This way you can get more benefits for Dongli." Helian Saji took a deep breath and gave his brother some advice.

"Okay, sister, I will listen to you." Helian Aodu nodded.

"I also want to see for myself what kind of person Emperor Xia is. Only after I have met him, I will be willing to abdicate."

"Go ahead." Helian Sazhi did not stop him.

So the next day, Helian Aodu traveled lightly to Daxia.

【Wow, the Emperor of Dongling has decided to surrender! 】

[He actually wants to come and see my father in person? 】

[Will he take this opportunity to assassinate my father? ]

Lu Li became alert instantly.

[No, I have to follow my father all the time and protect him well! ]

When Lu Yanshi heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

There was nothing to be afraid of about Helian Aodu's skills. If he had the courage to come alone to assassinate him, he would have to praise him for his courage.

But he was deeply touched by his daughter's care and concern.

[After all, Da Xia doesn't have a successor yet. If my father dies, the other countries will surely fight back, and Da Xia will be finished.]

Lu Li's heart was filled with sorrow.

Lu Yanshi: ...

What this means is that if there is a successor, he is dispensable and it doesn't matter if he dies?

He gritted his teeth, and the emotion he had felt earlier disappeared completely.

Humph, he is still young, why would he choose an heir?

He decided that he would never appoint a crown prince before unifying the world.

Let’s wait until Xiaojiu grows up.

When the time comes, let her help to decide who is suitable to be the crown prince.

At this time, Lu Yanshi had not thought that he would completely change his mind in the future. What's the point of having a crown prince? Wouldn't the crown princess be more suitable?

Helian Aodu rode as fast as he could to the capital.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Helian Qian looked surprised.

"It doesn't matter. Tell me what you have gained in the capital during this time." Helian Aodu asked.

Helian Qian quickly recounted all that he had seen and heard.

He even mentioned the conditions offered by Lu Yanshi.

"It's exactly what your grandmother guessed." Helian Aodu breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial sister said that if they expressed their willingness to surrender before Southern Xinjiang surrendered, Daxia would definitely make appropriate concessions, and he could gain more benefits for Dongli.

"Grandmother has always been able to foresee things." Helian Qian also admired Helian Sari very much.

"Then accompany me to the palace tomorrow to meet Emperor Xia." Helian Aodu made the decision.

"Okay." Helian Qian nodded.

After resting for a whole night, the next day, the two entered the palace together.

【The Emperor of Dongling is here! 】

Before he even saw anyone, Lu Yanshi knew from his daughter's voice that Helian Aodu had also come.

After meeting the two men, Lu Yanshi sent Helian Qian away and left Helian Aodu alone.

"Let's be frank, Helian Aodu, what do you want to discuss with me this time?" Lu Yanshi did not beat around the bush.

"If we don't surrender, what will you do to Dongliu?" Helian Aodu asked an obvious question.

"Of course I will send the 'Ninth Princess' to have a good talk with you." Lu Yanshi smiled slightly.

Helian Ao was silent.

"Alas, it's hard to be an emperor. You have to go to court before dawn, and you have to review endless memorials every day. There are also a lot of troublesome officials to keep an eye on, for fear that they will plot to usurp the throne one day." Lu Yanshi spoke to himself.

Helian Ao nodded subconsciously, he could relate to these things so well.

"Honestly, if I had a choice, I really don't want to be the emperor. It's too tiring. It's so comfortable to be a leisurely prince, without having to worry about so many things." Lu Yanshi sighed as he spoke.

"If it weren't for the miracles and prophecies, I really wouldn't have such a big ambition to unify several countries. It would be so nice if everyone lived in harmony. But when I think of those blue-eyed, blond-haired white people who are eyeing us, we have to be on guard."

Helian Ao couldn't help but continue nodding.

If those people came to attack again like they did a thousand years ago, they would each fight for their own camp and would probably be wiped out.

The destruction of a nation and the extinction of a race are two different concepts.

"Emperor Xia, you must treat the people of Dongling well." He couldn't help but speak.

"Don't worry. From now on, they are all citizens of Da Xia. I will treat them all equally and will never allow anyone to bully our own people under the banner of Da Xia."

Lu Yanshi's words deeply moved Helian Ao.

He didn't want to be emperor, but he was afraid of disappointing his sister and the court officials, and he was also afraid of being cursed by the people in the future.

Now that there is someone who is more capable and responsible than him to manage the people, he can rest assured.

The two of them had a very pleasant conversation and were almost about to become sworn brothers on the spot.

Lu Li:?

Her worries were in vain.

Emperor Dongli is probably what the melon-eating system calls a naive person. She was sold out by her father, and she is still helping to count the money.
