Chapter five hundred and twentieth
Two days later, Yang Zhen came to the palace to pay homage to his father. Seeing that Yang Zhen had reached the halfway stage of reaching heaven, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"Father, I have already thought about it. I am willing to go to the fiefdom and manage the city for my father."
"Okay, I will name you King Cheng. I hope you will always be loyal to this country, loyal to my father, and loyal to the people of the Canglang Empire. Finish the affairs in the imperial capital in the past two days, and then you can go to Yucheng
Well, the two nearby cities will also be placed under your management."
"I thank my father for his great love for me." Yang Zhen quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude. He was now the only one among many princes to be crowned king.
"I hope you will work hard when you get there and manage the city well. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and be a good prince who is loved by all people."
"My son, I will remember my father's teachings and I will definitely live up to my father's expectations for me."
"Well. I hope you will do it and not let your father down. Don't associate with those people with evil intentions, and you must behave upright." The emperor worked hard, and he did not want his son to go astray.
However, Yang Zhen failed to appreciate his painstaking efforts. Yang Zhen was filled with resentment all the way out of the palace. They were both princes, and he was the eldest son of the emperor, so why couldn't he inherit the throne?
In the past, he only resented Yang Jian for taking away his position as the crown prince, but now he even resented his own father. Now he had thought clearly that the emperor still didn't want him to succeed to the throne. If the emperor wanted him to succeed to the throne,
How could Yang Jian compete with him?
Back at the mansion, Yang Zhen was unhappy, and Wan Yunlong came to visit him personally. Wan Yunlong rarely came to his mansion at ordinary times, and he had already learned that Yang Zhen was leaving the imperial capital.
"Father-in-law, you will be even more lonely in the imperial capital after I leave. You have to make sure you do it yourself."
"Haha. This is to be expected. The emperor will definitely send you away. Those who are loyal to you will definitely alienate you when they see the emperor's attitude."
"Father-in-law, you said we are both princes, why is my father so partial?"
"There is only one throne. Since you are not chosen to be the prince, then you have no choice but to leave the imperial capital. I thought of this when you told me two days ago. You must be stable when you go out this time, and don't be caught by your father.
.Waiting for the opportunity, there is still a chance to make a comeback.”
"Father-in-law, do I still have a chance to make a comeback? I don't have any confidence in myself anymore." Yang Zhen lowered his head. He did feel a little hopeless.
"Don't give up on yourself. The emperor chose this meeting to announce the news, which means that your father arranged for someone to go to the emperor's palace. Why has this news not been announced for decades? It means that there must be a conflict between the emperor and the royal family. As for what kind of conflict we will leave for now
I don’t know. But one thing you must know is that your emperor must be under great pressure. As long as the Canglang Empire is in chaos, your opportunity will come."
"Father-in-law, now that the Emperor's Palace has stood up to support the royal family, can there be chaos?" Yang Zhen was suddenly full of expectations.
"There will definitely be chaos, believe me. As long as you stand up and turn the tide when the chaos starts, you can make your dreams come true."
"Okay, father-in-law, I will definitely learn to endure the humiliation and bear the burden and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback."
After Wan Yunlong's enlightenment, Yang Zhen regained his confidence and decided to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible and go to his own fiefdom to work hard.
Three days later, Yang Zhen left the imperial capital with his family. Even after he left, he didn't know when he would be back.
Although Yang Zhen has a bad reputation and is not very popular, the ministers in the imperial capital all went to see him off. After all, if you don’t look at the monk’s face, you have to look at the Buddha’s face. Everyone must give the emperor a face, even if Yang Zhen can no longer
Although he was powerful, he was still the eldest son of the Emperor.
Yang Zhen has not been deposed yet, and has even been named King Cheng. Some people are still taking a chance, what if he stands up again one day?
Zhao Zhenduo also went to see him off. He would not leave any clues for others to catch him. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he still took Xu Baichuan and a group of officials to see him off.
Yang Zhen left the imperial capital, some were happy and some were superior. Zhao Zhenduo and the others were naturally very happy. They would have one less stumbling block in the imperial capital in the future, but he would never show this emotion. He understood that even if the Zhao family gained power again, if they made the right move
If something bad happened to Yang Zhen, the emperor would also feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, Zhao Zhenduo must do a good job on the surface, at least to make the emperor feel balanced.
Wan Yunlong and others felt endless disappointment. He knew that Yang Zhen was getting further and further away from the throne and there was little hope. Even if he could one day ascend to the throne, it would definitely not be justified.
But Wan Yunlong was never willing to give up. Not only did he want to succeed Yang Zhen, but he also wanted to have a fight with the emperor. He is now full of hatred for the emperor because the emperor deprived him of his title, which was very difficult for him.
It's a great shame and humiliation.
Liang Haichuan also went to see Yang Zhen off. He was very disappointed at this time. He used to want to be promoted step by step through Yang Zhen, but now there is no hope at all. Yang Zhen himself has been squeezed out of the imperial capital, so how can he still have the ability to help?
he?
Of course Yan Xue could not go to see Yang Zhen off. She had no official title and was a woman, so she was not qualified to see Yang Zhen off.
But she still went to the scene. She was not there to see Yang Zhen off. She was there to observe the reactions of the important ministers in the imperial capital. She wanted to keep these people's performances in mind and see their faces clearly.
Zhao Fei didn't know that Yang Zhen had left the imperial capital. He and Yan Yuntian were traveling quickly. He just wanted to return to Flame City as soon as possible. Although he knew that nothing had happened now, he would feel uneasy if he didn't arrive for a while.
The Fire City has received the news. Everyone knows that the Empress is the Emperor's aunt. You can imagine how shocked everyone was when they got the news.
Half a month later, Zhao Fei returned to Flame City. Zhao Yang and the others were very happy to see that Zhao Fei had returned safely. When Zhao Fei personally confirmed that the news was true, everyone was even more excited.
Zhao Yang briefly told Zhao Fei the situation in Qinglong Mountain, because people between Qinglong Mountain and Flame City reported the situation every day. It was confirmed that there had been no war recently, and Zhao Fei was completely relieved.
Zhao Fei only stayed for one day. He talked about some things with his fourth uncle, Zhao Yang and others, and also called Li Sanchang over to arrange some things for him.
He rushed to Qinghuang Town after dark. When he returned to Qinghuang Town, it was still dark. Lin Xuejiao was very happy to see Zhao Fei back.
Lin Xuejiao told Zhao Fei some things that happened in Qinghuang Town during this period, and then they exchanged opinions on some major matters. He met the core figures such as Xu Ruyi, Zhao Yi and others, and told Zhao Fei about the outside situation and
I told them some of my thoughts.
The rest of the time he spent with Lin Xuejiao and the children, and the family reunited happily. But this kind of life was destined not to last, because he still had many things to do.
Zhao Fei only stayed in Qinghuang Town for three days. Everyone who needed to be met was met, and everything that needed to be arranged was arranged. Then he rushed to Qinglong Mountain.
When he came to Qinglong Mountain, he didn't go to see everyone first. Instead, he went to see Chen Pingzhang first. He wanted to tell him some things in the Emperor's Palace.
"Boy, are you back so soon? I thought you were going to stay a little longer." Chen Pingzhang looked at Zhao Fei with a smile on his face. He knew what kind of situation Zhao Fei would face this time, and he knew the empress better.
His character and temper are not easy to talk to, and he will definitely have to go through a lot of troubles.
"Grandpa Chen, I'm back. Fortunately, I have lived up to my destiny. The emperor and the royal family have settled their differences, and she no longer hates you."
"Haha. I really admire you. You are really capable." Although the old man looked calm on the outside, he was very excited inside. He didn't expect Zhao Fei to take care of the emperor and empress so quickly, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Zhao Fei told the old man about the situation in the Emperor's Palace in detail. The old man remained silent after listening.
"It's been really difficult for her these years. All of us feel sorry for her, especially because I owe her so much." After a long time, the old man said something. Zhao Fei could see that the old man was very sad. Anyone else would be sad because of the misunderstanding.
You can imagine how you feel after not seeing each other for decades.
"Grandpa, you don't need to feel sad or sad. If I have the opportunity, I will help you and the Emperor and Empress meet in person to untie the knot that has been in your heart for so many years."
"There's no need to meet. I haven't seen each other for so many years and I don't know what to say. Besides, she can let go of her hatred, but she may not meet me."
"Grandpa, let's leave this matter for now. I will fulfill my promise to find the child and tell you the truth about what happened back then." Zhao Fei quickly comforted him.
"Thank you for your trouble. If I can really see that child in my lifetime, I will die with no regrets." The old man nodded.
"Grandpa Chen, don't worry, I won't let you have any regrets."
Then Zhao Fei took out the wine and started drinking with the old man, because he was happy that the old man kept drinking.
In the living room of the Qinglong Gang, Situ Deng looked solemn, and so did the members of the four hidden families. They had just learned the news, and the authenticity of the information had been confirmed.
How did Empress Yanshan become the emperor's aunt? This fact was a blow to them.
In this way, they are like a strong alliance. The emperor's palace can match the strength of a hidden family, which is very terrifying.
But then they received a more fatal news. If the person who taught the eight Heavenly Realm masters a lesson last time was not one of the Five Elders, then this person might be Chen Pingzhang.
Although most people don't know who Chen Pingzhang is, people from the four major hidden families know who he is, and Situ Deng and Li Xiangming also know who he is.
If it is really him, then the situation will become more complicated now, and the following development will be even more unfavorable to them.
So Situ Deng now has a sad look on his face, and he feels very aggrieved. How could this happen?
"What should we do next?" Li Xiangming asked Situ Deng at a loss.
"I don't know what to do. Not to mention that there is no possibility of winning. Even if we can win, we will pay a heavy price and our strength will be exhausted. How will we live in the future?" Situ Deng looked sad.
