In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

In the midsummer of July, the sun is scorching the earth.

Tianjing City, the Grand Prince's Mansion.

In an exquisite and luxurious palace.

The gurgling spring water, along with the rotation of the waterwheel, irrigates the roof of the palace, allowing the spring water to flow down the eaves, forming a series of water curtains to isolate the summer heat.

The faint fragrance of flowers drifted into the house with the cold wind, filling the whole palace with fragrance.

The Grand Prince Yang De, leaned leisurely on the wide couch.

He was wearing a white golden silk python robe woven with Xueling silk. He looked like he was in his twenties or thirties. He looked glamorous and noble. Sitting there, he gave people an inexplicable sense of majesty.

On both sides of the couch, there were palace maids who either fanned the cool fan gently to drive away the summer heat, or held the exquisite and small three-legged gilded copper incense burner with green smoke curling, or stood there motionless with a variety of manners, waiting for the master's orders at any time.

Opposite the eldest prince Yang De, there was a middle-aged scholar kneeling with a turban on his head and a crane cloak on his body.

Between the two of them was a golden chessboard, on which black and white chess pieces were interlaced.

"This king received news that the Thirteenth Prince had submitted an application for the prince's assessment to the clan office and chose Haizhou as his fiefdom."

The eldest prince Yang De lazily placed a black piece on the chessboard and asked casually, "What do you think about this?"

"Congratulations, Your Highness. In my humble opinion, the Thirteenth Prince has undoubtedly given up the fight for the position of the crown prince."

The middle-aged scholar heard the eldest prince's question, bowed slightly, and congratulated with a smile.

Every gesture showed the demeanor of a celebrity.

After that, he did not forget to show his intelligence and analyzed the eldest prince Yang De: "As far as I know, the maternal family of the Thirteenth Prince, the Gu family, is from Haizhou."

"The Thirteenth Prince's move is undoubtedly to use the power of the Gu family to build a government and accumulate his own strength as soon as possible."

"It's a pity that the Thirteenth Prince is too young and doesn't know how complicated the situation in Haizhou is."

When the middle-aged scholar said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "With the complexity of the situation in Haizhou, let alone the Prince of Daqian, even the Nine Sects and Six Paths, the Twelve Aristocratic Families in the World, it is difficult to really clarify."

When the eldest prince Yang De heard this, he asked curiously: "Is the situation in Haizhou really that complicated?"

For Haizhou.

Yang De really doesn't know much.

After all, his fiefdom is Mingzhou, which is not far from Tianjing City. It is one of the five great Daozhous that protect Tianjing City. It is a full 100,000 miles away from Haizhou.

In addition, although he served in the court as the Prince of Daqian, his main sphere of influence was still in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel.

So even if Yang De had heard that the situation in Haizhou was complicated, he didn't know how complicated it was.

"Your Highness, the situation in Haizhou is extremely complicated!"

The middle-aged scholar said solemnly.

"As the saying goes, the world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit!"

"Think of the people of Yunzhou. In order to completely control the Golden Ancient Road, they dared to collude with the Western Regions and the Yunmeng Empire, treason, and murder the twelfth prince."

"Of course, there is the reason for the holy medicine Tianxiang Doukao, but it is enough to know that when the benefits are huge to a certain extent, you can completely ignore the majesty of the court and put your own and your family's lives aside."

"And the maritime trade of Haizhou is more profitable than the Golden Ancient Road of Yunzhou. In order to protect this benefit, many people will naturally take risks."

"In addition, Haizhou is more than 100,000 miles away from Tianjing City, and it is complicated. It not only involves many forces in the world, but also involves many island countries in the South Sea. My Daqian Dynasty's control over Haizhou is far less than that of Yunzhou and other places."

"The most important thing is that to the south of Nanzhou is the endless South China Sea. If there is really a daring person who commits the ten evils The unforgivable crime, directly sailing out to sea, the sea is vast, who can find it? "

"So the situation in Haizhou is more complicated and more dangerous than Yunzhou and other border islands of my Daqian Dynasty."

"Even, as far as I know, since the founding of my Daqian Dynasty, there have been more than ten governors and military commanders in Haizhou, who died in battle or were killed during their tenure, and the murderers were rarely arrested. "

"Your Highness can know how complicated and dangerous the situation in Haizhou is. "

"This is also the reason why few princes have chosen Haizhou as their fiefdoms for a thousand years since the founding of my Daqian Dynasty."

The middle-aged scholar made the final conclusion with certainty: "So the Thirteenth Prince's choice of Haizhou as his fiefdom is by no means a wise choice. Whether it succeeds or not, it will not affect your Highness's fight for the position of the crown prince."

The eldest prince frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling very uncomfortable.

He was very happy that his younger brother, who had a congenital Dao body and whom he had always feared, no longer posed a threat to him.

However, the actions of the local forces in Yunzhou and the complicated situation in Haizhou made him very unhappy.

Because as the eldest brother, he was only half a step away from the realm of the first-grade Tianren Grandmaster of martial arts, and he already regarded the position of the crown prince and even the position of the emperor of Daqian as his own.

Since he was the future emperor of Daqian, all 108 Daozhous in the world were his.

So the eldest prince Yang De's sight was not limited to the fight for the position of crown prince, but the whole world of Shenzhou.

In his view.

Whether it was the local forces in Daozhou such as Yunzhou and Haizhou.

Or the Nine Sects and Six Daos, the Twelve Aristocratic Families in the World, etc.

Or the Yunmeng Empire, the Hundred Countries in the Western Regions, the Nanyang Countries, etc.

What they did did not take the Daqian court and him, the future emperor of Daqian, into consideration. They were all traitors and thieves, and they were blood-sucking termites on the Daqian Dynasty.

Therefore, Crown Prince Yang De was very happy when he heard that Yang An was not a threat to him, but he was very unhappy when he heard that the situation in Haizhou was complicated and dangerous.

After all, these traitors and blood-sucking termites were stealing his interests.

Fortunately.

Yang De was not a young boy.

Nearly thirty years of his career as a prince had long enabled him to not show his emotions.

So although the eldest prince Yang De was very unhappy in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

His brows slowly relaxed, as if he was simply happy to hear that Yang An could not threaten him, and his eyes looking at the middle-aged scholar became softer.

"Lu Qing is worthy of being a pillar of our Daqian, and he knows the situation in the world very well."

"With Lu Qing's help, why should I worry about not being able to become the crown prince?"

The eldest prince Yang De praised, and his words were full of admiration for the middle-aged scholar.

What he thought in his heart was: "This Lu family is worthy of being one of the twelve top families in the world. They can even know the situation in Haizhou, which is 100,000 miles away. Their tentacles are so long, it's time to cut them down."
