It was already late at night when Yang Sheng received Fei Yu from Shen Wujiu. He has given instructions that as long as Fei Yu comes from Duoya Mountain, it must be presented immediately no matter where and when.
The palace maid held the lamp and then retreated. In the middle of the night, Yang Sheng opened Feiyu and read it carefully in the side hall of the harem where he went to bed, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"Have you seen the stuff?"
Zhang Yan was asking about Wu Kui, the personal eunuch and head of the special department who sent Fei Yu here.
Wu Kui stood in the corner and waited until the emperor called him before he came out, bowed his body, lowered his head and replied: "I have never seen it."
"Let's take a look. This should be the first one, and there should be more coming later. Hmph, I'm afraid things about Little Thirteen are really going to be troublesome."
Wu Kui walked over and picked up the Feiyu copper bar that the emperor threw on the table. After unfolding it, he saw that it briefly said two things. The first is about the Thirteenth Prince Yang Rui. Zhang Yan said that he would find the Thirteenth Prince and ask him to come back. But at the same time, it also hinted that the thirteenth prince's own wishes would take priority and no forced intervention would be made.
This is indeed not good news. Nowadays, the Thirteenth Prince is too important to Nanyuan Kingdom. Even His Majesty's delay in establishing a crown prince is because of the consideration of the Thirteenth Prince's status.
Although His Majesty never mentioned it, Wu Kui knew very well what His Majesty was planning.
It's just that there is no rush to establish a prince for the time being. Because at present, it seems that establishing a crown prince will affect the status of the Thirteenth Prince in the royal family, and it will also appear inappropriate. Because from the most favorable perspective of Nanyuan Kingdom, the Thirteenth Prince is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to succeed the throne. But this "most suitable" can only be a unilateral wish. After all, the Thirteenth Prince made it clear that he would rather stay in the Cliff Mountain to practice than the throne. Therefore, it seems good to establish the Thirteenth Prince as the Crown Prince, but in reality it is simply impossible.
Since the idea of establishing the Thirteenth Prince as the crown prince cannot be realized, then the next best thing is to continue the great influence of the Thirteenth Prince on Nanyuan Kingdom. For example, make the heir of the thirteenth prince a prince.
After all, the emperor is still in good health and is a warrior. It is not a problem to live for another forty or fifty years. He can even take his time and wait to bring up the heirs of the thirteenth prince.
Therefore, the matter of the thirteenth prince getting married is very important. Even if it's not with the princess of Huayue Kingdom, it's okay, but you can't really delay the marriage for decades, right? The emperor could not wait any longer.
I originally thought about asking Zhang Yan to help bring the Thirteenth Prince back to get married, but now I'm afraid it will be difficult. Fortunately, Zhang Yan will ask the Thirteenth Prince to come back, and the royal family will have a chance to make another effort. At least find a chance to leave the heirs of the Thirteenth Prince. No matter who it is, as long as they can stay.
After Wu Kui went through all these twists and turns in his mind, he became clear. After all, he follows the emperor all day long, and he knows everything about what the emperor is worried about. Following the emperor's thoughts and judgment of the situation, it is not difficult to arrive at the outcome that seems to be the safest at present.
However, if the Thirteenth Prince's temperament changes after he returns, then everything is still uncertain.
Another thing that can be considered good news.
An offer of assistance from Cliff Mountain.
This is the news that Nanyuan Kingdom has been waiting for for a long time. Nowadays, Nanyuan Kingdom can quickly become famous in the human kingdom, and enjoys a very high special status and practical benefits. This is all based on the cliff mountain and taking over the benefits provided by the cliff mountain. Such as ghost-catching bells and bone-strengthening pills.
The most important thing is that Nanyuan Kingdom is where the cliff mountain is located, and it is also the birthplace of Zhang Yan.
Helping Duoyashan is actually helping Nanyuan Kingdom itself. The more help they provide, the closer the relationship between Nanyuan Kingdom and Duoya Mountain is, and the more they can benefit from the hands of all human nations despite the prestige of Duoya Mountain.
What's more, the news sent back by Shen Wujiu this time mentioned something more exciting than the ghost-catching bell and the bone-strengthening pill. If it works well, the benefits to Nanyuan Country will be immeasurable!
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already made preparations for the Thirteenth Prince's matter. If it doesn't work out, there is still hope of leaving an heir for the Thirteenth Prince, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it to Huayue Kingdom." Things went one by one. explain. Wu Kui first told the relevant preparations about the Thirteenth Prince. The Ministry of Internal Affairs secretly prepared dozens of beautiful girls of various colors, just in case. Wu Kui participated in this matter collaboratively.
"Huayue Kingdom? Haha, today is different from the past. If it is only about Xiao Shisan, it is really not appropriate to cancel the marriage or change the marriage with them at this time. After all, Huayue is already our largest entry and exit channel for business transactions. But isn’t there another news this time? Haha, do you think the people in Huayue will fall out with us because of such news?”
Yang Sheng was not surprised that Wu Kui, who had been with him all day long, figured out what he was thinking, and was happy to see it, so that he would have someone to discuss many things with.
Wu Kui thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, do you want to use this request from Duoyashan to take advantage of Huayue Kingdom?"
"I can't say that I can control it, but it's okay to prevent them from taking any drastic actions regarding Xiao Shisan's marriage. Just a few words of swearing in the quarrel. After all, in the final analysis, we are in the wrong this time. of.
Tsk tsk, do you think Zhang Yan’s sect has any resistance to the pleasures between men and women? Zhang Yan himself has not yet gotten married, and his disciples, even Xiao Shisan, are now as afraid of getting married as a snake or a scorpion. Why is this? "
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yan can't help but be a womanizer. When he was in Langyuan City, he was also a frequent visitor to the flower house in the city. Sometimes he would go to have fun with Zhou Cang, who was the city guard of Langyuan City at the time. This matter is in Langyuan City is not a secret. It's just that after moving to Duoya Mountain, there is less information in this area. However, the possibility of abstinence practice can basically be ruled out.
Your Majesty, do you think it is because of the turmoil in the royal family that the Thirteenth Prince is extremely resistant to this matter? "
"Huh? Tell me in detail." This was the first time Yang Sheng heard this statement, and he immediately became interested.
"Your Majesty, compared to the cultivation in the mountains and the sense of achievement in gaining strength, the machinations and schemes in the royal family may have become a knot in the heart of the Thirteenth Prince. In the past, he was young, fashionable and still repressed, but now his strength and knowledge are greater than those of his elders. Most people are so advanced that they will naturally have resistance. If we can make some preparations in this regard, maybe we can change the impression of the Thirteenth Prince."
Yang Sheng was noncommittal after listening, but he listened in his heart. As for how to plan, he should still think about it himself.
"In addition, your special department must come up with a detailed strategy for the Duoya Mountain matter within three days. I only have two requirements. This matter must be firmly grasped in our hands, just like the bell and the bone-strengthening pill. Secondly, for this matter, we must give priority to selecting people from here first, and the rest will be taken care of by others.”
