Chapter 552, New World 04
As the king of a country, he was neither a defender of the country nor a pioneer, so the only thing he did during his reign was to give birth to princes and princesses.
Eventually, the harem was in chaos.
Now the brothers are killing each other.
As the old saying goes, if a person is not ruthless, his position will not be stable. The Fourth Prince saw through his father early on. If he was not ruthless, he and his sister would follow in the footsteps of their mother and die in the palace.
Now that he has been given the opportunity, he certainly cannot let it go.
The city lord began to take action against those fighting in Ningguo.
Led by the City Lord's Mansion, they led people in batches to seize Ningguo's resources.
The two countries went to war several times for this reason. Of course, there were winners and losers, and neither side gained any advantage.
The movements in the border town could not be hidden from the imperial city, and those who disliked the Fourth Prince began to take action.
Forcing the Fourth Prince to attack Ningguo showed that the current emperor was incompetent. He didn't know that the ministers who were loyal to him had already split into factions.
After hearing them say to let the Fourth Prince go to the battlefield, he agreed after only a thought, without caring at all whether the Fourth Prince's body would allow it. Of course, even if he knew, he would not care. What he cared about more was how long he could stay on the throne.
Even if he fell ill in bed, he was unwilling to give up this position.
When the royal dynasty arrived, the Fourth Prince smiled. All this was within his calculations.
What he is waiting for is for others to give him the opportunity to make a contribution.
The Fourth Prince received the visitor from the dynasty despite his illness, and asked him to bring back a message, which was that the Fourth Prince's illness was not yet cured.
Unfortunately, the visitor was from the Third Prince's faction. Seeing the Fourth Prince's pale face, he felt relieved.
As long as the Fourth Prince is defeated or dies this time, it will be extremely beneficial to the Third Prince.
"Then I would like to ask the Fourth Prince to help our dynasty obtain more resources as soon as possible."
The fourth prince smiled amiably. "Don't worry, Master Zhang. I will never let my father down."
After seeing off Lord Zhang, the Fourth Prince began to make arrangements.
But before leaving, he still had one thing to do, which was to thank his benefactor.
Zhicheng has also heard the rumors outside these days, but to him, it doesn’t matter.
He was completely focused on his alchemy practice.
When people came to his house, he was still in seclusion practicing alchemy.
The ones who met the Fourth Prince were Mei Xue and He Anze. He Anze had nothing to do recently, so he accompanied his lover for strolls every day.
The daily life is so comfortable.
"I didn't know you had a distinguished guest coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you." He Anze said as soon as he saw the person coming.
Recently he has gotten to know the border town better and found that it is truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
There are all kinds of monsters and demons, but fortunately none of them have come to him.
When the Fourth Prince saw how powerful the two were, he immediately put away his royal arrogance.
"Your Excellency, please accept my humble obeisance." Strength is respected, and even if he is a prince, he cannot reverse this theorem.
The Fourth Prince's cultivation was pretty good, at least higher than Zhicheng's, but he was still vulnerable in front of Mei Xue and the others.
The aura of a cultivator is not so easy to fake. The Fourth Prince has always been a smart man.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
At this time, the little princess came out and asked, "Brother and sister, where is our little brother?" The little princess was not a cultivator and could not sense the aura of a cultivator.
Talking is much more casual.
Hearing her words, the Fourth Prince immediately became nervous. When he was about to pull down his younger sister who had spoken out, Mei Xue and He Anze suddenly laughed.
"Haha, brother and sister, this is really interesting, very interesting." He Anze stared at the little girl, trying to see something from her.
Mei Xue was very happy. It had been a long time since she heard someone call her sister.
"Okay, don't scare me." Mei Xue saw the Fourth Prince carefully pulling her sister behind him, and she also looked at the Fourth Prince with a higher regard.
Knowing their identities, he still protects his relatives, which shows that this person has a good character.
He Anze immediately retracted his gaze and walked to Mei Xue lovingly, "You just like sweet talk."
The little princess didn't feel the serious atmosphere, she just wanted to see her little brother.
"Sister, isn't little brother at home?" the little girl said a little disappointedly.
Mei Xue waved to the little princess and asked her to come over.
The girl was not afraid of anyone. She immediately broke away from her brother's hand and walked to her sister.
"Do you like little brother very much? I know you two have only met once." Mei Xue is not a grandmother and she would not make random matches.
Mei Xue took the little princess's hand and tested her a little. After finding out that the little girl did not have a cultivated body, she was no longer on guard.
"The little brother helped me. He saved my fourth brother. I came here today to thank him." After all, the little girl is still young and her mind is very clear.
When the Fourth Prince saw that the two adults were not unhappy, he put away the slight uneasiness in his heart.
It’s okay to hurt myself, but I can’t hurt his only relative.
"Oh, so that's how it is. It's okay. Brother won't care about it. You don't need to come over to thank him. He is in seclusion now."
"Then when will little brother come out?" She had known the word "retreat" since she was a child, because her fourth brother would also retreat from time to time.
Mei Xue shook her head, "I don't know about that. How about waiting for your little brother to come out and I'll tell him that you came to see him?" The little girl is always likable.
Especially families like theirs, which lack daughters.
If you like someone, you shouldn't link her with interests, so Mei Xue didn't plan to get close to this girl.
He Anze and the Fourth Prince walked aside and sat down. The two talked about some recent events in the border town.
From He Anze's perspective, he looks at things much more comprehensively than the Fourth Prince.
He also hoped that the situation could be settled sooner, and he wanted to take Zhicheng to find Xiaopeng and the others.
He still misses his two sons very much.
Even though he always dislikes them as light bulbs on weekdays.
The Fourth Prince did not hide his identity and told He Anze everything.
He Anze became a bystander, he knew what the Fourth Prince intended.
The Fourth Prince was not unhappy that he did not receive any guidance here. Instead, he was more willing to get closer to them.
Knowing that they don't want to get anything from him, it is more beneficial for him to associate with such people.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Mei Xue invited them to have lunch here. Of course, the food for the four of them was prepared by Mei Xue and the little princess together.
The people who followed the Fourth Prince ate by themselves in the inn.
Is the thing Mei Xue took out an ordinary item?
After eating, the Fourth Prince became even more respectful to the two adults.
"Once things are settled here, please come back to the Imperial City with me. I will definitely host a banquet for you two then." Once things are settled here, the Imperial City should also be under control.
Then he can decide to return the favor.
"Haha, thank you very much, Fourth Prince." He Anze didn't bother to be polite with him.
Who can blame his wife for being such a good eater?
They have never eaten the Royal Banquet and don’t know what it tastes like.
The Fourth Prince still had things to do and couldn't stay here the whole day, but he was very confident that his little sister would stay here. Unfortunately, she didn't respond to his request.
I had no choice but to leave the yard with my little sister in disappointment.
After returning, the Fourth Prince also accelerated his fight for Ningguo.
What was supposed to take a year was resolved in just half a year thanks to the Fourth Prince’s efforts.
The imperial city also took immediate action.
Due to urgent matters, the Fourth Prince could not travel with them, so he had to entrust his younger sister to He Anze and the others and asked them to return to the imperial capital together.
Mei Xue and He Anze certainly had no objection to this, and it would also be a personal favor to them when they needed help.
But Zhicheng was in trouble because the little princess was really too noisy and gave him a headache.
He was really annoyed along the way, but seeing that his grandmother was so happy, he endured it.
He Anze and Mei Xue both saw Zhicheng's look and thought that it was impossible for the two of them to be together.
For Zhicheng's sake, Mei Xue kept the little princess by her side so that Zhicheng could be quieter.
The little princess might have felt something and felt quite lost, but slowly she discovered that she was more comfortable with her grandmother and she no longer thought about her little brother.
After Zhicheng received the teachings from Xiao Jin, he began to concentrate on studying the books about alchemy in his mind.
Every day is fulfilling.
They took nearly a month to reach the imperial capital by carriage.
During this month, Mei Xue also took the little princess to visit the Tang Kingdom.
You know what, it is very similar to the Tang Dynasty in the history of Dragon Kingdom.
Mei Xue and He Anze began to speculate about the history of the Tang Dynasty, but they were just curious and didn't mean anything else.
They finally arrived at the imperial capital, and their movements were constantly reported by the people left behind by the Fourth Prince.
He Anze and Mei Xue just let him do what he wanted on this matter. Anyway, they didn't plan to have too much contact with the court.
It took the Fourth Prince three months to stabilize the Tang Kingdom. Not only that, he also ascended the throne directly.
This caused great turmoil in the court, and it was a big deal for the people.
All they wanted was to have enough food and warm clothing, and it had nothing to do with them which emperor ascended the throne.
The third prince finally went down to accompany his father, and the fourth prince's ruthless methods shocked those people in the court who did not obey him.
But what can we do?
The Fourth Prince has many capable people under his command, and it would be more convenient for him to manage the court without them. If he wants to step down, just say so.
Those who followed the Fourth Prince were all very happy, and they received corresponding rewards one by one.
He Anze and his companions' carriage had just arrived at the gate of the imperial capital. The Fourth Prince, no, now it's time to call him the Emperor.
The emperor personally brought people to greet him.
The ministers were all a little confused, not understanding who the important person was that the emperor had to come to greet him in person.
He asked his men to inquire, and when they learned that it was the little princess who had returned, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They all saw how much the emperor, who was still the fourth prince, doted on the little princess.
Not to mention that he is the emperor now.
Even though they had just returned home from court, they all changed into court robes and followed the emperor's team to the city gate.
But it also opened their eyes.
They were all shocked to see the arrogant emperor bowing to a young couple.
The emperor's actions were discussed by many people who saw it.
But these are nothing in the eyes of the emperor.
He Anze was not the kind of person who didn't know what was good for him. When the emperor was about to kneel down, he simply waved his sleeves and helped him up.
The emperor did not bow down in the end.
"Please, sir." The Fourth Prince is now in high spirits.
When the little princess saw her relatives, she was so excited that she threw herself into the arms of her fourth brother.
"Fourth brother, Shishi misses you so much." The little princess is only nine years old. In this world of cultivation, she is really still young.
The emperor touched the fatter little sister lovingly and asked, "Did you cause any trouble to me along the way?"
"No, I'm a good boy."
After the brother and sister chatted for a while, the emperor led his people directly into the palace.
The palace here is truly magnificent.
It is larger and more magnificent than the royal palace of any other country in the history of Dragon Kingdom.
He Anze and Mei Xue were treated as distinguished guests by the emperor. The people below did not dare to neglect them and were all very respectful to them.
Some ministers didn't understand and came directly to the emperor.
After learning the other person's identity from the emperor, they all shut up.
I also began to respect these two people.
Of course there are many people practicing in the imperial capital, after all, this is the capital.
However, the highest level of cultivation in the Tang Dynasty was the general of the dynasty, but his family was all loyal to the emperor and the country. He didn't care about the successor to the throne and was only loyal to the person on the throne.
This is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty has always existed.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to surpass the general, but for thousands of years, no one has been able to replace the general’s lineage.
Even the current Fourth Prince, his cultivation cannot reach the level of a great general.
During the banquet that night, He Anze and Mei Xue also felt the general's cultivation.
However, the two were a little confused. It was true that the general was at the Golden Core Stage, but his body was also severely damaged, as if he had used some elixir to force a breakthrough.
There will be no further progress in the future.
After the two looked at each other, they saw surprise in each other's eyes.
You know, this would be a serious blow to the bloodline of the entire family.
It can be seen that they are truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
The two admired him.
During the night banquet, the two of them also toasted the general.
The two's cultivation is not as good as the general's, but the general doesn't seem to care about their existence.
The emperor was happy to see them getting along well.
It's not that he hasn't thought about surpassing the general, but he knows that it will take time to surpass the general.
We have to take it slow.
At the dinner, Mei Xue also had the imperial meal, but it was not as delicious as she had imagined. It seemed to have lost the charm of the ancient Dragon Kingdom. Now it was all made of spiritual vegetables.
It’s not as good as the one in her own space.
After all the dishes were served, Mei Xue tried them and no longer wanted to stay.
She left directly and went to the palace that the emperor had prepared for them.
However, when she passed by the palace garden, she was stopped by someone.
A very extraordinary woman came up to her.
He looked at Mei Xue.
Mei Xue looked at her with displeasure. "What's the matter?" she asked coldly.
"How bold." A palace maid walked out from behind the woman.
"Why don't you kneel when you see Concubine Chen?" How could the women in the harem know about what happened in the previous dynasty?
