The moonlight hangs high, illuminating the imperial city.
It was already dark, and the powerful men from the major martial arts academies who participated in the Tao Discussion Conference had already returned to the State Guesthouse, and the civil and military ministers had also left the palace and returned home.
However, today's imperial city cannot be calm for a long time because of two major events!
The first thing is, of course, about the Dao Discussion Conference.
In this Tao Discussion Conference, Han Feng single-handedly defeated twelve top quasi-sun level and God-gathering realm Dzogchen experts, shocking everyone with his skills.
He then fought against Shangguan Yang, the master of the True Yang realm, and actually broke through the opponent's defense, and punched the master of the True Yang realm with a black eye. This incident was even more shocking.
Overnight, what happened at the Tao Discussion Conference had spread throughout the imperial capital. Regarding Han Feng's strength, it aroused countless people's amazement and speculation.
Everyone recognized that Han Feng was already in the True Yang realm and could be called an invincible existence.
Some people even believe that Han Feng's strength is infinitely close to the True Yang Realm, and he has the qualifications to "challenge" or even rival the True Yang Realm.
But there are also a few people who think that maybe Shangguan Yang intends to give in to Han Feng. After all, everyone below the Japanese level is an ant, which has been verified by countless strong people with facts.
However, whenever they meet someone who holds this view, those who admire Han Feng will ask a question.
"My face has been swollen, how dare I say such big words?"
One sentence can leave the other person speechless.
…
And that night, something happened in the imperial capital, which was no less sensational than the Dao Discussion Conference.
That was when Emperor Wu personally consecrated Zhu Hongyi, the eighth son of the emperor, as "King Dingxian" and received the title of county king.
The establishment of a king in the empire is a major national event at any time.
Those who are awarded the title of king are either important ministers of the empire with outstanding merits or deeds, or those who are members of the royal family and have outstanding talents and can lead a group of wise men.
However, the person who was awarded the title of king today was actually the eighth son of Emperor Wu. This prince had a very low presence in the imperial capital and was only eleven years old.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the imperial capital.
Many people are discussing what special talent or extreme talent this eighth prince has that makes him so favored by Emperor Wu.
And this is also the first time that the Eighth Prince has officially entered the eyes of the empire's subjects!
…
At this time, the lights in the East Palace of the Imperial Capital were not extinguished.
Shangguan Qingfeng, Feng Muyun, two other ministers, and several important officials from the civil service group gathered in the East Palace to discuss matters.
Everyone is discussing about today's discussion conference and the North Korea-China meeting.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingfeng frowned and said, "This Han Feng actually took the initiative to send Dayan as an envoy in the main hall tonight, and then asked for orders for the Eighth Prince to be granted a royal title. What on earth does he want to do?"
Hearing this, the prince sitting in the first place also thought: "Teacher, I think this Han Feng just wants to improve the status of the eighth brother, so as to elevate his status and consolidate his position in front of his father."
Hearing this, Shangguan Qingfeng shook his head and said: "This Han Feng is shrewd and cunning. He will never risk his own safety and go to Dayan for this benefit. He must have a deeper conspiracy."
Suddenly, Shangguan Qingfeng's eyes narrowed.
"Could it be that this person wants to... support the Eighth Prince to ascend to power?"
After the words fell, there was silence in the East Palace Hall, and then the prince was the first to laugh out loud.
"Teacher, if you say that Han Feng has other plans, the students will naturally believe it, but supporting the eighth brother to rise to power is... a bit unrealistic."
The prince's words were agreed by others in the hall.
Now the prince has been serving as the crown prince for a long time, and with the strong support of the civil service group, his position is stable.
The only person who could pose a threat to him was the second prince who was canonized as the "King of Wuchang". He had the faint support of the Yuchi family behind him and was considered a strong enemy.
As for the Eighth Prince, firstly, he is still young, and secondly and most importantly, he is born unable to practice. Countless famous doctors in the empire have examined him and found that the Eighth Prince's meridians have completely shrunk and died.
If Emperor Wu had not given him a miraculous elixir to prolong his life, the Eighth Prince would have died long ago. Your Majesty probably has mercy on him when he crowns him king this time.
But such a person will never be able to inherit the empire, and will not pose a threat to the prince.
Thinking of all this, Shangguan Qingfeng also felt that Han Feng's idea of supporting the eighth prince to fight against the prince was too unrealistic.
Immediately, Shangguan Qingfeng speculated: "Is it true that Han Feng is sure that the Great Yan Empire will withdraw its troops and stop fighting?"
When everyone heard the words, no one could answer, but they all felt that the possibility of this matter was too small. The Great Yan Empire had already planned to invade the south.
Even if Han Feng has three heads and six arms, he might not be able to turn things around?
The discussion was fruitless, and Shangguan Qingfeng could only comfort himself.
"Forget it, if Han Feng really succeeds in his mission and can make the Great Yan Empire withdraw its troops, it will naturally be a great thing for our Qianlan Empire.
If he couldn't, his life would probably be at risk, which would save us a trouble.
Now, what we have to consider is how to resist the Great Yan Empire once it invades the south, and how to obtain more "Border Breaking Order" qualifications after the ruins of the Martial God Clan are revealed! "
Hearing the words "boundary breaking order", everyone present breathed hotly and shifted the topic away from Han Feng.
…
At the same time, in the Imperial Capital Bachelor’s Mansion.
As two key figures in tonight's sensational events in the imperial capital.
Han Feng returned home alone, while the eighth prince was left in the palace to prepare for the kingship ceremony in a few days.
At this time, Han Feng was sitting cross-legged alone in the center of the practice room with a calm expression.
Thinking back to everything that happened in the court today, he couldn't help but have a playful smile on his face.
Today, he exceeded everyone's expectations and took over the important task of sending an envoy to Dayan. It seemed to be an extremely unusual risk, but in fact, he had already carefully considered it.
When Dean Mu informed him of the true situation on the northwest border a few days ago, Han Feng knew that the Great Yan Empire might really intend to invade the south this time.
Xichuan Province, which is adjacent to Dayan, is Han Feng's "hometown". Once changes occur, his family and friends will be the first to bear the brunt.
Secondly, the situation in the South China Sea of the empire is now tense. Led by his eldest brother, the empire's top management and strong men are going all out to deal with the upcoming general attack of the Kraken clan.
If something happens on the northwest border at this time, it will definitely affect the coastal war situation. It is a taboo for military strategists to be attacked from both sides.
The above two points are enough for Han Feng to put the crisis on the northwest border first.
Therefore, when Shangguan Qingfeng pushed him out, Han Feng did not refuse.
Compared to others who sent Dayan as envoys, Han Feng believed in himself more.
Because although he once defied Emperor Yan's orders and escaped from Great Yan, he also turned against the Prince and Second Prince of Great Yan, and even captured the two of them, forming a deep hatred with the Great Yan Empire.
But Han Feng still had two important friends in Dayan.
One is the Great Flame Holy Beast "Golden Holy Dragon", and the other is Si Tianjian's "Old Palm Seal".
Both of these two people hold a pivotal position in the Great Yan Empire.
It was thanks to the help of the two that Han Feng was able to leave the Great Yan Empire.
Among them, after the Golden Holy Dragon refined the dark law in his body, he made it clear that he owed him a favor.
It is expected that the other party's injuries have almost recovered by now.
With the Hongwu-level holy beasts of the Great Yan Empire and the old palm seal protecting him, plus his current strength, he is no longer what he used to be.
Han Feng is confident that even if he goes to the Great Yan Empire, he can escape unscathed.
…
With such superior "prerequisites", Han Feng decided to send an envoy to Dayan.
If the peace talks can be successful and Dayan is prevented from sending troops, it can be regarded as a contribution to the empire, and he will share the pressure on the coastal battlefield for his eldest brother.
If not, he can return to Xichuan as soon as possible to protect his family.
Han Feng's decision made him directly become a "loyal representative" who sacrificed his life for righteousness. Naturally, he would not forget to ask for benefits.
Among them, the safety of his family is the first priority. With Emperor Wu's promise, no one dares to harm his relatives even if he leaves the empire.
And that gold medal for immunity from death was reserved for the future, the Shangguan family, the Feng family, and even the prince's party.
Maybe then, this gold medal will not be for saving lives, but for "crime"!
As for the third point, asking Emperor Wu to crown the eighth prince a king was also an extremely important step for Han Feng.
Han Feng is not a person who will be easily restrained by "ethics", but he also does not want to be a traitor who bullies the emperor and ignores his superiors.
Since he has no power to decide the current monarch, he can cultivate the next emperor, an emperor who satisfies him and is willing to fully assist him!
And the eighth prince Zhu Hongyi is the person he recognizes.
Now that the Eighth Prince is young and recognized as being unable to practice cultivation, being enthroned as the king now not only has a visible status but also does not arouse hostility from others, which is exactly what Han Feng wants.
Gather all your thoughts and become calm again.
Han Feng couldn't help but glance east, which was the direction of Wu'an Hou's Mansion.
When fighting Shangguan Yang tonight, Han Feng once looked at a high pavilion in the harem from a distance, and the figure that caught a glimpse of him was very familiar to him.
Maybe she had been here before but didn't show up tonight.
