The land of Cangzhou is divided into five prefectures. Except for the one at the end of Cangzhou, the other four prefectures are divided by the Wanjiang River. There are two prefectures on each side of the 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, passing through here, Mohe can reach the territory of Jingzhou.
Pingchuan Mansion is different from the Wancang Mansion that Mohe has seen before. The terrain of Pingchuan Mansion is almost flat, with few mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile. There is a tributary of Wanjiang River in the territory, which is convenient for planting and irrigation. Hunting monsters, but they pay more attention to the matter of Nongsang.
When Mo He came to Pingchuan Mansion, it was natural that he had to travel and get familiar with it. It took a few months, and now he has just started. The main purpose of his trip has been achieved. The exercises for reference have been obtained, and he can live freely in the future. Traveling, as long as you go back in time when the time comes.
In Pingchuan Mansion, there are these two small sects. Perhaps it is for this reason that Pingchuan Mansion, which has a better environment, has fewer casual cultivators than Wancang Mansion.
In a restaurant in Pingchuanfu City, Mo He was sitting on the second floor by the window, looking at the passers-by on a street outside the window, but suddenly he was attracted by the whispered conversation between the two behind him.
"Brother Li, news came from the government office today that there was another debate in the imperial court over the candidate for the next emperor. Almost half of the courtiers supported the sixth prince Xia Yuan, but the emperor However, the Sixth Prince Xia Yuan has not been established as the successor for a long time, is it possible that the Human Sovereign is not optimistic about the success of the Sixth Prince Xia Yuan in his heart as the next Human Sovereign?"
"Brother Zhang's question is probably what all the courtiers want to know now. Among the few princes who are still staying with the Emperor, the sixth prince Xia Yuan is the oldest. Long before the founding of the dynasty, he had made great military exploits, and after the founding of the country, he has made countless meritorious deeds. Among the few princes, who is more qualified to sit on the throne of emperor?"
Hearing the conversation between the two on the table behind him, Mo He turned his head silently, glanced in that direction, and saw that there were two people dressed as scribes. Looking at the aura of the two, they should be from the local hundred schools. The students in the school should learn the Hongwen family's learning, and their aura is not very strong, which is almost equivalent to a practitioner in the middle stage of Taoism.
Among the hundred schools, students are not prohibited from discussing state affairs, and they even tell the students some information from the court from time to time, so that they can understand the changes in the current situation. , Most of them are going to become officials, whether they are sent to govern a party or stand above the court, it is always better to understand these things.
Since the Human Emperor fell ill last time, which caused the position of Fadu to drop for a while, the news about the early determination of the next Human Emperor's successor has never stopped. Now the princes who are interested in the Human Emperor's position stay by the Human Emperor's side , so everyone is very clear about who is competing for the position of Emperor.
Among the entire government and the public, this is not a secret matter, and the students of these two schools don't care about discussing this matter in public.
Mo He is actually very concerned about who the next Emperor will be, but now that he has left Zi'an County, without Su Bai, it is very difficult for Mo He to quickly understand the information on the court, and it happens to be the table behind him. Speaking of the two students, Mo He was also happy to learn about it from them.
"That's true, but according to the news from the government office, there are already so many courtiers supporting the court, the Human Sovereign has not confirmed that the sixth prince, Xia Yuan, will be the next Human Sovereign. In my heart, there is really another candidate. Among the remaining princes, except for the sixth prince Xia Yuan, there are only two or three people who can stand out. Brother Li thinks who the emperor is looking for! "
"I can't guess this. I just hope that the emperor can confirm the candidate for the next emperor as soon as possible. No matter which prince it is, at least it can make the dynasty's legal prestige more stable, and it won't be like last time. , the Emperor fell ill, which weakened the power of the imperial court, and all the water demons in the Wanjiang River came ashore!"
Mo He was slightly surprised when he heard the conversation of the two students from the Hundred Schools behind him, "According to what these two students from the Hundred Schools said, it seems that the Human Sovereign has no plans to appoint the sixth prince Xia Yuan as the next Human Sovereign, even if there is Nearly half of the courtiers supported it, and they didn't express their opinion directly, it seems that Xia Yuan, the sixth prince, wants to become the emperor, it is not as easy as imagined."
Mo He has seen the sixth prince Xia Yuan with his own eyes, and he has a deep impression on the sixth prince Xia Yuan. This is a handsome talent with a rough appearance, but a very calm heart. Emperor, Xia Yuan's merits and abilities should be enough, at least among the princes Mo He knows, none can compare with the sixth prince Xia Yuan, but now Xia Yuan does not seem to be the candidate for the successor in the Emperor's heart , among the other princes, which one does the Human Sovereign 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 emperor fell ill, the prestige of the laws was weakened, causing some turmoil in a small area. Therefore, even if the affairs of the dynasty, big or small, can be handled by the civil and military officials in the court, one must still be cautious about the choice of the emperor. After all, the importance of the position of the emperor in this world has already been determined. It is impossible for the Human Sovereign to be completely emptied.
After coming to this world for so long, Mo He has also integrated into the current world. As a member of the human race and also a Taoist official, these things are closely related to him. In addition, his master Daoist Qingmei has also become a royal official. God, he has to care about these even more.
Mo He was still listening silently, to see if he could hear some deeper news from the two students from a hundred schools of thought, and the God Capital of the Dynasty, which was far away in the center of the Dynasty in Shenzhou, was far away from the power center of the entire Dynasty. In a large tent of the military camp in the palace, a middle-aged man with a rough face was sitting there with a silent expression on his face. It was the sixth prince Xia Yuan that Mo He had seen before.
On the left and right sides in front of him, there are dozens of civil and military confidantes, one of whom Mo He will be familiar with after seeing it is Wen Siming who served as the county official in Zi'an County for a short time.
"Your Highness, you might as well take a step back and agree to His Majesty's request. There is no need to get so stiff with His Majesty!" The atmosphere in the big tent was very dull, and finally a man dressed as a general couldn't help breaking This silence.
Wen Siming, who was standing opposite the general, heard the words, raised his head and glanced at the general who was speaking, and secretly cursed "reckless man" in his heart!
It's already at this time, to say such things in front of the Sixth Prince, isn't this deliberately offending His Highness the Sixth Prince
If His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is willing to back down a step, then the Human Sovereign will announce that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince will become the next Human Sovereign, why 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, and glanced sharply at the general who spoke just now, and the body of the general trembled slightly immediately. , couldn't help but took half a step back, a fine layer of sweat dripped from his forehead.
"The last general made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Suppressing the discomfort in his body, the general immediately confessed to the sixth prince Xia Yuan. As a general who had followed Xia Yuan for a long time, he knew Xia Yuan's temper well. The look that Xia Yuan gave him just now was a real He became angry, and already had a trace of killing intent, which even made him experience the impact of Xia Yuan's killing intent once.
"You have also been with me for a long time, such words should not come out of your mouth!" Seeing the appearance of this general, Xia Yuan said slowly.
After saying this, Xia Yuan stood up abruptly, strode to the side of the general, stretched out his hand to straighten his body, and then stared 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 monster race for the first time, accompanied by millions of soldiers, fought for more than three years, and finally brought back less than 300,000 soldiers, have you not forgotten that? In the 20th year of the founding of the dynasty, you followed me to the battlefield between the human race and the water dragon race for the first time. You accompanied the army with millions of soldiers, but you suffered a big loss from the water battle in that battle. , the line of defense was almost lost, don’t you forget? In the seventy-fifth year after the founding of the dynasty, the demon tribe made a large-scale raid, and the reinforcements of the dynasty and the sect were blocked. We fought continuously at the border for a month, almost without sleep, and we were exhausted. Eight thousand soldiers, have you not forgotten this?... "
Xia Yuan's voice became louder and louder. When he reached the end, he almost roared out.
"Your Highness, the last general will not forget, the last general will not dare to forget, and the last general will never forget!" The military commander who was stared at by the sixth prince Xia Yuan almost roared at the moment when Xia Yuan's words just fell. answer.
"Then tell me, how should I compromise, how should I agree to my father's request, so that the soldiers at the border can withstand the pressure, and you tell me, how should I back down, so that I can be worthy of those soldiers guarding the border?" Xia Xia Yuan Yuan heard the roar of his subordinate, but now his voice calmed down, and he asked in a normal voice again.
"This, last general, damn it!" The general was speechless, and then he could only lower his head and half kneel on the ground and said, but just as he finished speaking, he raised his head again and looked at the six people in front of him. The prince Xia Yuan continued to say another word.
"But Your Highness, if you don't agree, other princes will agree in the end, and the result still cannot be changed, and if it is you, things might...!"
"Needless to say, if I agree, even if I sit on the throne of Emperor, those soldiers guarding the border will feel chilled, and the whole dynasty will feel chilled too!" Xia Yuan interrupted the general.
Wen Siming, who was standing aside, sighed in his heart, "Hey, I'm afraid it's His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince himself who feels the most chilling!"
