Chapter 122 The Crown Prince

The land of Cangzhou is divided into five prefectures. In addition to the one at the very end of Cangzhou, the other four prefectures are divided by Wanjiang Rivers, and there are two prefectures on both sides of Wanjiang River.

From the Cross-River Bridge to the other side of the river, Mohe came to Pingchuan Mansion on the other side of the river. From here, Mohe could reach Jingzhou.

Pingchuan Prefecture is different from Wancang Prefecture, which Mohe has seen before. The terrain of Pingchuan Prefecture is almost flat, with few mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile. There is a tributary of Wanjiang in the territory, which is convenient for planting and irrigation. Although he will also hunt monsters in the river, he pays more attention to agriculture and sericulture.

When Mo He came to Pingchuan Mansion, he naturally had to travel and get familiar with it. After a few months, he had just begun. The main purpose of his trip had been achieved. He had obtained the skills he had already obtained, and he could travel freely in the future. As long as he was time to go back in time, he would be fine.

There are two small sects in Pingchuan Prefecture. Perhaps because of this reason, the number of casual cultivators in Pingchuan Prefecture, which has obviously better environment, is smaller than that in Wancang Prefecture.

In a restaurant in Pingchuan Prefecture City, Mo He was sitting by the window on the second floor, looking at the pedestrians on a street outside the window, but suddenly he was attracted by the low voices of the two behind him.

"Brother Li, today, news came from the government office that the imperial court had a debate over the candidate for the next Human Emperor because of the candidate for the next Human Emperor. Almost half of the court officials supported the Sixth Prince Xia Yuan, but the Human Emperor has not yet made the Sixth Prince Xia Yuan the successor. Is it because the Human Emperor is not optimistic about the candidate for the next Human Emperor?

"What Brother Zhang asked, I'm afraid that all court officials in the court want to know now. Among the princes who are still staying with the Human Emperor, the sixth prince Xia Yuan is the oldest. He practices divine weapons and martial arts. He is the master of military affairs in the world. He has made great achievements before the founding of the dynasty. After the founding of the country, he has made countless contributions. Among the princes, who is more qualified to be the Human Emperor than him?"

When Mo He heard the conversation between the two people on the table behind him, he turned his head silently and glanced in that direction. He saw two people dressed up in literati. Judging from the aura of the two, these two people should be students from local schools. They should be learning the Hongwen family's studies. They are not very strong in their bodies, and they are almost equivalent to those of practitioners around the middle stage of entering the Tao.

Among the hundreds of schools, students are not prohibited from discussing state affairs, and they even tell students some information about the court from time to time to let them understand the changes in the current situation. After all, after these students succeed in their studies in the future, most of them will become officials. Whether they are exiled to govern the country or stand in the court, it is better to understand some of these things.

Since the last time the Human Emperor fell ill, the position of law has been reduced. There has never been any news about the early determination of the successor of the next Human Emperor. Now, the princes who are interested in the Human Emperor are staying by the Human Emperor's side, so everyone is very clear about who is fighting for the Human Emperor's position.

This was not a secret matter throughout the court and the country, and the students from these two hundred schools of thought did not care about discussing this matter in public.

Mo He is actually very concerned about who the next human emperor is, but now that he has left Zi'an County and has no Su Bai, it is difficult for Mo He to quickly understand the information in the court. It happened that the two students at the table behind him talked about it, and Mo He was happy to learn about it from them.

"That's true, but according to the news from the government office, there are so many court officials in the court. The Human Emperor has not confirmed that the Sixth Prince Xia Yuan is the next Human Emperor. I'm afraid that someone else has chosen it in the Human Emperor's heart. Among the remaining princes, there are only two or three people. Brother Li thinks that the Human Emperor is interested in!"

"I can't guess this. I just hope that the Human Emperor can confirm the candidate for the next Human Emperor as soon as possible. No matter which prince it is, at least it can make the power of the dynasty's laws more stable, so as not to fall ill like last time, causing the power of the dynasty's laws to weaken, and all the water monsters in the rivers have come ashore!"

Mo He was slightly surprised when he listened to the conversation between the two students from the Hundred Schools. "From these two students from the Hundred Schools, the Human Emperor does not seem to have the intention to make the Sixth Prince Xia Yuan the next Human Emperor. Even if there are nearly half of the court officials support him, he did not express his opinion directly. It seems that the Sixth Prince Xia Yuan wants to become the Human Emperor, not as easy as he imagined."

Mo He has seen the sixth prince Xia Yuan with his own eyes, and has a deep impression of the sixth prince Xia Yuan. He is a handsome man with a rough appearance but a very calm heart. He has been through the battlefield for a long time and is very strong. As a human emperor, Xia Yuan's contributions and abilities should be enough. At least among the princes Mo He knows, no one can match the sixth prince Xia Yuan. But now Xia Yuan does not seem to be the candidate for the successor in the human emperor's heart. So among the other princes, who does the human emperor like?

The position of the Human Emperor is related to the laws of the human race and the luck of the dynasty. The last time the Human Emperor fell ill, the power of the laws was weakened and some turmoil occurred within a small range. Therefore, even the affairs of all major and small in the dynasty can be controlled by civil and military officials in the court, and the choice of the Human Emperor should still be cautious. After all, the Human Emperor in this world, because of the importance of its position, has determined that the Human Emperor cannot be completely undermined.

After so long in this world, Mo He has integrated into the world today. As a member of the human race and a Taoist official, these things are closely related to him. In addition, his master Taoist Master Qingmei has also become a god granted by the dynasty, so he has to care about these things even more.

Mo He was still listening silently to see if he could hear some deeper news from the two students from the hundred schools of thought. The imperial capital of the dynasty far away in the center of the dynasty in China, the power center of the entire dynasty, was far away from the palace, a middle-aged man with a rough face was sitting there with a silent face, which was Xia Yuan, the sixth prince that Mo He had seen.

On the left and right sides of him, there were dozens of civil and military confidants. One of them Mo He would be familiar with him after seeing it. It was Wen Siming, who had briefly served as the county magistrate in Zi'an County.

"Your Highness, you might as well take a step back and agree to His Majesty the request of His Majesty. There is no need to be so staggering with His Majesty the Human Emperor!" The atmosphere in the tent was very dull, and in the end a man dressed in a military general couldn't help but break the silence.

Wen Siming, who was standing opposite the general, heard this, looked up at the talking general, and secretly cursed "reckless man" in his heart!

It has been this time, and he is still saying such things in front of the Sixth Prince. Isn’t this intentional trouble for His Highness the Sixth Prince?

If His Highness the Sixth Prince is willing to make a step back, then today, the Human Emperor will announce His Highness the Sixth Prince to become the next Human Emperor. Why should we wait until now?

Sure enough, after the general finished speaking, the sixth prince Xia Yuan, who lowered his head and looked silent, slowly raised his head, glanced at the general who had just spoken. The general's body immediately trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and a layer of fine sweat oozed out of his forehead.

"I have lost my words, please forgive me!"

Resisting the discomfort on his body, the general immediately accused the sixth prince Xia Yuan. As a general who had followed Xia Yuan for a long time, he also knew Xia Yuan's temper. The look that Xia Yuan gave him just now was really angry, and he had a trace of murderous intent, which even made him experience the impact of Xia Yuan's murderous intent.

"You have been with me for a long time, so you shouldn't say it out of your mouth!" Seeing the appearance of this general, Xia Yuan spoke slowly.

After saying this, Xia Yuan stood up suddenly, strode to the general, reached out to straighten his body directly, and then looked straight into his eyes.

"At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, you followed me to the border between the human race and the demon race for the first time. You followed me to the border between the human race and the demon race for more than three years. In the end, the soldiers brought back were less than 300,000. You have not forgotten this? In the 20th year of the founding of the dynasty, you followed me to the battlefield between the human race and the water vein dragon race for the first time. There were million soldiers with the army, but in that battle, I suffered a great loss from the water battle. The generals brought back were not one ten, and almost lost the defense line. You have not forgotten this? In the 75th year after the founding of the dynasty, the demon race launched a large-scale raid, and the reinforcements of the dynasty and sects were blocked. We fought for a month in the border, almost sleepless, and the eight thousand soldiers who were exhausted alive, didn't you forget this?..."

Xia Yuan's voice became louder and louder. When he spoke at the end, almost all of him yelled.

"Your Highness, the last general has not forgotten, and the last general dare not forget, and the last general cannot forget either!" The general, who was stared at by the sixth prince Xia Yuan, almost roared and answered the same moment as Xia Yuan finished speaking.

"Then tell me how I should compromise, how should I agree to my father's request, so that the soldiers in the border can resist the pressure. Let me tell me how I should give in and be worthy of those soldiers who guard the border?" Xia Yuan heard the roar of his subordinate, and then his voice calmed down and asked again in a normal voice.

"This, General, damn!" The general was speechless, and then could only lower his head and half kneeled on the ground and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head, looked at Xia Yuan, the sixth prince in front of him, and continued to say another sentence.

"But Your Highness, if you don't agree, there will be other princes who will agree in the end, but the result will still not be changed. If it were you, things might be…!"

"Needless to say, if I agree, even if I take the position of the Human Emperor, the soldiers guarding the border will be heartbroken, and the entire dynasty will be heartbroken!" Xia Yuan interrupted the general.

Wen Siming, who was standing aside, sighed in his heart, "Oh, I'm afraid the most heartbreaking one is His Highness the Sixth Prince himself!"
