Chapter 374 He Must Be the Crown Prince



Three sentences.

Zhuo and his group were the first to bow and turn to leave.

Afterwards, Zhou Tong and other ministers bowed and left Jinghu Villa, and peace finally returned to the place.

Yu Wenyun, Dong Shulan and the disciples of the Taoist academy then walked out of the room. They looked at Fu Xiaoguan with different expressions on their faces.

Su Jue thought that his master was really awesome, choosing a junior fellow from such a huge crowd of people. He turned out to be the prince of Wu Dynasty, who was about to become the crown prince, and even the emperor of this huge Wu Dynasty in the future!

Gao Yuanyuan was extremely delighted. This junior brother had such a noble status. Would she be able to eat all kinds of delicacies until she vomited in the future?

Su Su didn't seem interested in his identity. She sat on the stool with her chin up, swinging her long legs, thinking that the Fu Xiaoguan who liked to squat in the fields was more real.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Fu Xiaoguan smiled bitterly: "Let's put this crap aside for now and have dinner!"

Fu Xiaoguan did not go out the whole afternoon, and asked Ning Siyan to stop all those who came to visit him.

Among these people are Yan Hanyu and Fan Tianning.

Yan Hanyu came to invite Fu Xiaoguan to have some fun at Liuyuntai in Shili Pinghu in the evening. Especially after knowing this news, he suddenly felt that it was worth losing his arm - who would have thought that Fu Xiaoguan was really the prince of Wu Dynasty and was about to ascend the throne of crown prince!

What the hell!

When he thought about the contempt and verbal humiliation that he and Tuoba Yuan had shown to Fu Xiaoguan in Fanning City, he felt his face burning, as if Fu Xiaoguan had slapped him in the face again.

My identity as a prince is nothing!

He will be the crown prince soon!

Of course, this relationship must be maintained well. I hope he won't forget what I said that day. My position as the crown prince still depends on his full support.

Although he was rejected again, Yan Hanyu was not angry this time. Instead, he gave Ning Siyan two boxes of Xishan Tianchun.

"Then I will come again next time."

Fan Tianning stood outside Jinghu Villa. His eyes looked over Jinghu Lake, as if he wanted to see what Fu Xiaoguan was doing at the moment.

He recalled Fu Xiaoguan's performance at the three-day literary gathering, and thought that he might have already known about it, so he had no interest in the gathering. It was just that they had agreed to invite him to Fan State in Fanning City, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.

Fan Tianning felt quite regretful and turned away with Ku Chan.

The far-reaching impact of this news was obviously not limited to the officials in the court.

In the huge Guanyun City, millions of people are discussing almost all of this topic.

"As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. A few days ago, there were rumors about Fu Xiaoguan's identity. What do you think? I was certain at the time that he was the emperor's son, but you still didn't believe it!"

"This crown prince, on a larger scale, concerns the country and society; on a smaller scale, it concerns the trivialities of our lives. If Fu Xiaoguan really becomes the crown prince, how do you feel about him being more powerful than the previous one?"

"You're such a fool! How can Wu Gan compare to Fu Xiaoguan? Have you ever heard that Fu Xiaoguan frequents brothels? Have you ever heard that Fu Xiaoguan possesses all five vices? No, he's the greatest talent in the world! He can recite the sacred teachings by heart! If he ascends the throne, he'll definitely be a wise ruler!"

“…”

All these words were circulated in the huge Guanyun City. The spies of Tianji Pavilion went deep into the city and wrote down the people's comments on Fu Xiaoguan and sent them to Tianji Pavilion. After reading them, Zhou Tongtong asked someone to copy two copies.

One copy went into the hands of Emperor Wen, and the other copy went into the Piaomiao Palace of the Empress Dowager.

At this moment, Nangong Dongxue was in the Empress Dowager's Piaomiao Palace, saying what Fu Xiaoguan had said to Empress Dowager Xi.

"This guy... the First Prince seems to be used to being idle, and this news is truly shocking. So, the First Prince's statement that he doesn't want to be the Crown Prince is simply because he hasn't figured it out yet. With more time, he will definitely change his mind."

Queen Mother Xi smiled slightly, "No, it's not that he hasn't figured it out, he just doesn't want to be the crown prince."

"Why?"

"You don't know much about him, Aijia, but I have watched him for a long time."

Empress Dowager Xi's eyes fell on the piece of paper sent by Tianji Pavilion in her hand. People had a very high opinion of Fu Xiaoguan and had great expectations of him. This was a good thing and could save her from a lot of trouble.

Nangong Dongxue asked cautiously, "What if he really doesn't want to be the crown prince?"

"Then force him to become the crown prince!"

Nangong Dongxue opened her mouth in astonishment. She had heard of people being forced to get married and forced to jump off buildings, but she had never heard of anyone being forced to become the crown prince!

Empress Dowager Xi handed the information to Nangong Dongxue, "You have no idea what he's been up to in Xishan. If he becomes the crown prince of the Wu Dynasty, the future of the Wu Dynasty will be unprecedentedly powerful!"

This surprised Nangong Dongxue again. She only knew that Fu Xiaoguan was extremely talented. Now after hearing what the Queen Mother said, could it be that he had made great achievements in other fields?

Her eyes fell on the paper, and the Queen Mother smiled and said, "If I say that the rice yield of an acre of land can at least double, would you believe it? If I say that the red cannon can decide the outcome of the battlefield, would you believe it?"

Nangong Dongxue couldn't believe it. She looked at Empress Dowager Xi in surprise.

"These are actually trivial matters. The book 'On the Enrichment of a Nation' that he wrote for the court during the Yu Dynasty..." The old queen pointed to the bookshelf, "Bring the box here."

Nangong Dongxue brought a sandalwood box. The old empress opened the box and took out a thin booklet.

"This is the most precious weapon of our country! Take a look at it, and don't let it spread."

Nangong Dongxue looked at the book carefully, and the shock in her heart was like a huge wave in the sea!

Not only is his literary talent unparalleled in the world, but his way of saving the world is also unmatched by anyone in the world!

Compared with the Yu Dynasty, the people of the Wu Dynasty were more open-minded and were not deeply constrained by the sacred learning. Their ability to accept new things was far stronger than that of the Yu Dynasty.

This major national policy, which Yan Beixi believed needed to be implemented gradually, was only needed, in the eyes of Queen Mother Xi, to be implemented throughout the country by someone who understood this method at the helm.

Now we have someone to take the helm. Once he enters the Eastern Palace, he will implement this policy as the Crown Prince.

Firstly, it was to consolidate his position in the Eastern Palace, and secondly, in the process of implementing this policy, the cooperation of all the government offices of the court was needed, which laid the foundation for him to understand and control these officials.

"So I'm truly grateful to Xu Yunqing. She gave birth to a good son for Your Majesty! I was originally worried about the future of the Wu Dynasty, but now I can finally put my worries to rest..."

She seemed to have thought of something again, looked at Nangong Dongxue, and asked, "Do you think...will he target Zhuo Yixing?"

Nangong Dongxue was stunned, thought about it, and shook her head.

"Why?"

"...He's not the kind of person who takes revenge."

"Oh...come to the palace tomorrow and accompany me to Shili Pinghu to watch the excitement of the announcement of the exam results."
