Chapter 182 The Crown Prince's Ambition
Yanwu City was the fiefdom of Emperor Yanwu, and his palace was located here.
After the Crown Prince takes office, he will surely follow the example of Emperor Yanwu and revive the Wuji Empire once again!
This event caused a great stir in Yanwu City. Although King Qi had been stirring up trouble for many years, Yanwu City remained firmly in the hands of the Ji family.
This also makes Yanwu City look as prosperous as ever.
For this day, the Crown Prince wore a red dragon robe and a crown that was both festive and dignified.
He, as the deposed crown prince of the Wuji Empire, may only be a Grand Martial Master in terms of cultivation, but he possesses both breadth of mind and strategic acumen.
He has an exceptional ability to recognize and utilize talent, and is humble and respectful to those of lower rank.
Even fifteen years later, he still enjoys a reputation for benevolence and righteousness!
At this moment, he frowned as he gazed eastward from inside the palace.
Looking back on the days when I fled in such a sorry state, I feel a deep sense of regret.
Back then, his position was not so unshakeable.
But through his own efforts, he gained the approval of the court officials and the general pledged his allegiance to them.
To control the court's military and political affairs, and to oversee the entire country!
Most importantly, my father is seriously ill and will not live much longer!
Before long, the Wuji Empire will usher in its own era!
The reign title is changed, and a general amnesty is granted!
He will then become a wise and benevolent ruler, leaving a lasting legacy!
At that time, he was only thirty years old, in the prime of his life, and the country was powerful!
At that time, reforming internally and expanding territory will not be difficult.
But reality is cruel.
King Qi destroyed everything he owned with less than five hundred wandering knights!
Keeping Kunlun demonesses and being bewitched by them is a taboo of the Wuji Empire!
This is a taboo that has been unacceptable since the founding of the Wuji Empire!
In the past, the Kunlun tribe ruled the world with brutality, sacrificing mortals to the Zhulong.
Yi rose to power and, in alliance with the Lieyang tribe, led mortals to drive the Kunlun tribe to the Kunlun Mountains in the northwest.
Afterwards, the Lieyang tribe became the religion of the entire continent, and humans began to worship the Golden Crow!
The practice of worshipping deities has existed since ancient times!
But after the overly fervent sacrifice, when the Golden Crow revived, ten Golden Crows appeared in the sky, like blazing suns, scorching the entire continent.
The Hidden People and humans across the entire continent were filled with fear.
In order to survive, the humans and the hidden race cooperated with each other.
Yi, as the strongest among humans and even in the entire world, carried the hopes of the entire Hidden Clan and the Human Clan.
He slaughtered several divine beasts and used the most precious materials from them to make a bow: Godslayer!
Then he put on the Immortal Mask, obtained the Fusang Branch, stained it with the blood of the Candle Dragon, and shot ten arrows to save the world!
After this, Yi successfully saved the world.
With his strength and prestige, he established the Wuji Empire.
But from that day on, the royal family already had ancestral precepts.
Kunlun and Lieyang have both been designated as cults!
Therefore, many people were wary of the Crown Prince keeping a Kunlun demoness, because it was something that would shake the foundation of the country!
If a ruler of a country were to worship the Candle Dragon or the Golden Crow, although the people do not know what would happen due to the loss of the ancient texts.
But one thing is certain: it will definitely lead to the downfall of the nation!
This is why the Crown Prince was unable to make a comeback after fleeing to Yongzhou.
Otherwise, how could a prince who escaped and has the legitimate right to inherit the throne be unable to turn the tables because the emperor is imprisoned?
He only needs to raise his arm and call to action, and a large number of people will support him.
After ending up in Yongzhou, he contacted a group of absolutely loyal and reliable princelings.
But soon, the King of Qi's pursuing troops arrived.
Without the protection of a powerful figure, and with his own weak strength, the crown prince could only disguise himself as a beggar, feign madness, and hide everywhere.
Until he met Wuchen and Yu Linglong.
Yu Linglong guessed that Wuchen had brought her to find the Crown Prince.
However, Wuchen said that he had just happened to be passing by when he met him.
Yu Linglong was the shaman of the Lieyang tribe at the time, so she thought it would be fun to help the prince become emperor again and wanted to take the prince back to Twilight Valley to raise him.
Wuchen, on the other hand, thought that the crown prince should be given to the Prince of Qi so that the Prince of Qi could be the emperor in peace.
The two disagreed and started fighting on the spot.
When Wuchen got serious, he dominated Yu Linglong, and she was no match for him at all.
But when she couldn't defeat him, she resorted to destroying Wuchen's soul.
Wuchen could only passively take the beating.
After playing around for a while, the prince was taken back to Twilight Valley to be raised.
For the past ten years or so, Yu Linglong has often been away. During this time, the Crown Prince has been teaching the barbarians of Twilight Valley, then marrying the new priest and winning over the new Ten Witches.
He didn't give up. Finally, after Yu Linglong agreed to help him send troops, he returned to fight his way back.
He saw a whole new world!
Under the rule of King Qi, the entire Wuji Empire was devastated.
Everyone missed the benevolent crown prince!
After a period of courting, the Ji family surrendered Yanzhou!
But then he discovered something even more surprising.
His own daughter and her husband had already occupied Leizhou! The King of Chu in Yuzhou seemed so vulnerable! Yue Shan of the Yue family had begun to defect!
A sense of inevitable trend welled up in his heart!
The entire world was in chaos. After a major defeat, the Central Plains could only defend, and the Yunzhou army could not be mobilized!
Linzhou has a good relationship with the Cui family, which are his subordinates. Yuanzhou should be taken over by Yue Shan!
He can still firmly control Cui Sanniang's naval forces!
For a time, the idea that destiny was in my mind excited him for a long time.
But soon he discovered that his son-in-law, Xu Tianyi, had autonomous jurisdiction over the area!
His officials and army were all from poor families and commoners!
His system was specifically designed for powerful families!
He used the excuse of seclusion to avoid meeting people.
Furthermore, his control over the Shen family led to their reluctance to submit to him, Ji Canghai of the Ji family was also unwilling to return to the Ji family, Yue Shan of the Yue family had a close relationship with him and was suspected of being sent to Yuanzhou by him, and the King of Chu made a military ceasefire and commercial alliance with him in order to avoid conflict.
He was like a nail, blocking his path to reclaim the world!
As long as he agrees to submit, I can take over Leizhou, conquer Yuanzhou, and seize Yuzhou!
If he helps me, I will possess the Shen family's firearms, the Yue family's military power, and the King of Chu's wealth!
By the end of the year, I can reclaim half of the country!
Taking advantage of the situation, we will persuade Linzhou to surrender! We will then advance along three routes to seize the capital city and reclaim the throne!
Therefore, he tested Xu Tianyi, won over the powerful families of Leizhou, and also persuaded his officials and the Shen family to surrender.
But the result disgusted him. The moment he emerged from seclusion, the excellent situation was completely disrupted by his Grandmaster cultivation and personal prestige.
Even their own envoys were humiliated!
He is openly declaring war on himself!
Therefore, he has now decided to remove this obstacle in his path!
With his status as the crown prince, half the country is within his grasp!
And his own daughter, Gu Qinghan!
That's an excellent bait!
He's here! He's doomed!
If he doesn't come, I can gain a higher position in public opinion! With my political maneuvering, taking over Leizhou and alienating him from his followers will be no problem at all!
What he can give to the elite families, I can give to them too! The outstanding talents he promotes, I can use myself!
So, at this moment, the wedding bells have already rung!
The crown prince revealed a meaningful smile.
"The auspicious hour has arrived! Play the music! Welcome the guests!!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Joyful bells rang throughout the entire palace...
(Thank you all for your support, gifts, and recognition!)
I acted impulsively yesterday. I've received a lot of negative reviews before, but most of them were fair, so I know that what I wrote wasn't satisfying or good enough.
Seeing the data can even lead to disappointment and a desire to give up.
But I think a story must have an ending, whether it's good or bad.
When I write books, I actually focus on logic.
Even if the plot is outrageous, it still needs to stand up to scrutiny.
Harem novels are actually difficult to write. Many people don't write harem novels at all, but rather novels without a harem.
Most of them don't have much of a romantic storyline.
In the story, I wrote about the interactions and experiences of each of the concubines with the protagonist.
Love, self-interest, and habit all play a part.
Actually, it's relatively consistent with each person's personality.
In the subsequent story, Xu Tianyi gradually becomes invincible, so he won't do anything to suppress the protagonist. Please watch with peace of mind.
