A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1836 Decision, No One Can Change the Ninth Emperor's Decision

inappropriate?

The Ninth Prince certainly knew that his action was inappropriate. If it was appropriate, he would not need to talk to Wang Jinling. He could just throw the matter to Wang Jinling and leave.

"Pah." The Ninth Prince put down his pen, looked up at Wang Jinling, and said slowly: "If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Lord Wang just needs to follow my orders."

"Your Highness, as the emperor's teacher, I have the responsibility to give advice. Beiling, Nanling and Xiling are all big countries. Beiling and Nanling have both sent ministers. If Your Highness goes to Xiling in person, Beiling and Nanling will inevitably feel that Dongling is disrespectful to them. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Your Highness, I ask Your Highness to think twice." Wang Jinling stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head to persuade.

"Who do you think is the most suitable, Lord Wang?" Wang Jinling was right, so the Ninth Prince would not scold him, but he would not let him satisfy his own selfish desires either. Without waiting for Wang Jinling to answer, the Ninth Prince added, "You don't have to recommend yourself. I know Lord Wang is a good candidate, but Lord Wang is a pillar of Dongling. The court cannot do without Lord Wang for any matter, big or small."

This compliment discouraged Wang Jinling from going to Xiling in person. Wang Jinling was not angry, and replied with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept your praise. Since there is no suitable candidate, how about asking Xiling to send an envoy? I heard that the Prince Duan of Xiling is wise and brave, and he must be the best candidate for negotiation."

Anyway, no one can go. The Ninth Prince has blocked his way, and he will not let the Ninth Prince get his wish.

After all, the Ninth Prince was not a human being. If he put aside state affairs and rashly went to Xiling without a legitimate reason, not only Wang Jinling, but even the civil and military officials in the court would not agree. After all, the Ninth Prince was not the only one who could negotiate trade between the two countries. It was really a great honor for Xiling if the Ninth Prince came in person.

"Please allow me to reconsider this." Wang Jinling's proposal made the Ninth Prince quite excited.

Although Prince Duan was a famous killer, he was clear about gratitude and resentment. With his escort, Feng Qingchen and Feng Jin would be able to return to Dongling safely. However, the Ninth Prince still wanted to go to Xiling in person. He knew Feng Qingchen's background and was quite afraid of the national teacher. He didn't want Feng Qingchen to get into trouble in Xiling.

In addition, the situation is different now. There are some things he must discuss with Tianyu face to face. He wants to know whether Tianyu has changed. He does not want to be stabbed in the back by his allies at the critical moment.

The Ninth Prince didn't need to tell Wang Jinling about these things, he just thought about them in his mind.

Wang Jinling retreated with a smile. He was just thinking of going to talk to the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor to reveal that the Ninth Prince was about to leave the state affairs and run away again. However, he had just stepped out of the hall when he saw the eunuch beside the Ninth Prince chasing after him.

"Master Wang, please stay." The eunuch was panting. After catching up with Wang Jinling, he didn't have time to take a breath. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The Ninth Prince ordered me to pass on a message to you: Master Wang, I don't want anyone else to know."

Is this a seal?

Wang Jinling raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly: "I understand."

It seems that the Ninth Prince still wants to go in person, and he is afraid that he can't stop him.

Sure enough, within two days, the Ninth Prince announced that he would go to Xiling, on the grounds that he was invited by the Emperor of Xiling to visit the Imperial Preceptor of Xiling.

Xiling National Master, who is that person?

Apart from Wang Jinling, not many people knew that Xiling had a national master. However, since the Ninth Prince used this as an excuse, he would definitely have someone reveal the identity of Xiling's national master in private.

Not only that, the Ninth Prince also had someone tell the story of the Imperial Master's prediction for Prince Duan of Xiling with exaggeration in order to show the Imperial Master's supernatural powers.

In this way, everyone had no objection to the Ninth Prince going to Xiling. Everyone winked and looked at the Ninth Prince with some subtle eyes.

Everyone thought that the Ninth Prince went to Xiling this time to find the Imperial Master and ask if he had the possibility of becoming the emperor.

After all, the Ninth Prince is only one step away from the throne. Whether or not to ascend the throne is a question that requires careful choice. If he is not careful, his reputation will be ruined and he will lose everything.

"There are too many smart people." Wang Jinling's mouth twitched slightly when he heard the officials discussing privately. These people have too many imaginations. This is probably what the Ninth Prince wants to see.

"Being too smart is just being clever." Yuwen Yuanhua rolled his eyes. Although he didn't know why the Ninth Prince went to Xiling, he was sure that it was definitely not the reason these people said.

Judging others by oneself, these people think too highly of themselves. How could the Ninth Prince think the same as they do?

Whether the Ninth Prince wants to ascend the throne, he needs to ask a Xiling imperial master? This is really ridiculous.

This matter was even brought to the attention of the retired emperor. The retired emperor was afraid that the Ninth Prince would do something detrimental to the interests of Dongling in order to ascend the throne legitimately, so he specially asked the Ninth Prince to come and meet him, and asked him in person why he went to Xiling in person.

"Alliance." The Ninth Prince dropped these two words expressionlessly. The Emperor tilted his mouth and nodded in understanding.

Although the Ninth Prince has firmly grasped the military and political power of Dongling, Dongling still has external and internal troubles. In order to avoid being betrayed by Nanling and Xiling when Dongling fights Beiling and Chucheng, it is important to win over an ally.

The retired emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking. Anyway, he did not make things difficult for the Ninth Prince Uncle, and did not say a word about the Ninth Prince Uncle's trip to Xiling.

This made some people confused: Did the emperor tacitly approve the ninth uncle's ascension to the throne?

Even Empress Dowager Xie was very uneasy, fearing that the Ninth Prince would kill the little emperor in order to ascend the throne legitimately. But she did not dare to act in private, fearing that the Ninth Prince would find out and find an excuse to depose her and the little emperor.

"It would be great if Qingchen was here." Empress Dowager Xie was gloomy, silently hoping that Feng Qingchen would come back soon. With Feng Qingchen in the imperial city, she could at least find someone to question, instead of being in the dark and waiting to die like she is now.

"Think of Qingchen if anything happens, and let her worry for a while longer." The Ninth Prince knew that Queen Mother Xie was anxious about this matter, so he did not reveal any news to reassure her.

After he had sorted out the affairs at hand, he handed over the government to the prime minister and Wang Jinling, and stationed his trusted troops outside the imperial city. The Ninth Prince then led the regent's ceremonial guards and marched towards Xiling in a majestic manner.

"The Ninth Prince is coming to Xiling?" Feng Qingchen couldn't believe what he heard. "The Ninth Prince doesn't have a fever, right? Can he leave Dongling in this situation?"

"There is a cabinet in Dongling. Even if the emperor does not hold court early in the morning, there are people to handle state affairs." Zuo An looked up at the sky silently, mourning for the ninth uncle.

Anyone with common sense would understand that the Ninth Prince came to Xiling absolutely to support Feng Qingchen. Otherwise, why would the Ninth Prince come earlier or later, but choose to come to Xiling openly when Feng Qingchen was in Xiling?

Of course, Feng Qingchen also knew that the Ninth Prince came for her, but it was a little unbelievable: "I didn't encounter any trouble in Xiling. As long as the Ninth Prince holds power in Dongling, Xiling will not dare to touch me."

If she died in Xiling, the Ninth Prince would definitely not let it go. Given Xiling's current situation, if it fought another war with Dongling, it would probably be penniless.

Are you sure you don't have any trouble in Xiling?

Zuo An looked at Feng Qingchen silently without asking this question. Anyway, Feng Qingchen understood...
