Seeing that Chu Xuanchen was silent, Dong Changfeng said: "Your Majesty, we will also support you. Only if you win the throne and implement benevolent government can the people live a good life."
Li Jin said: "Your Highness, now you not only have our support, but you also have a virtuous wife like Princess Li. Princess Li is smart and famous all over the world. With her help, you will be able to win the throne soon."
Yun Ruoyue also clenched her fists and said: "Your Majesty, I also support you. The emperor is mean and ungrateful, and killings are increasing day by day. The one who was killed this time was Taifu Han. I don't know who will be next. We always have a problem hanging over our heads.
Instead of always worrying that this big knife will fall, we might as well smash this big knife into pieces so that it can no longer threaten us."
In the past, Yun Ruoyue didn't care much about political affairs.
Now that she saw Taifu Han's fate, she knew that she could no longer back down.
She also wants to assist Chu Xuanchen with everyone and benefit the people of Li.
After hearing everyone's words, Chu Xuanchen was also inspired.
He nodded, with a firm light in his eyes, "Okay, I promise you. For the sake of the people of the world, I will definitely work hard. I will stop the killings and save the people from being displaced and suffering from war."
If he doesn't fight, he will become a prisoner sooner or later, and his wife and children will be implicated by him.
Of course he wanted to fight, and he always wanted to fight, but he just didn't find the right time.
Now that so many people are supporting him, he is suddenly more determined.
After hearing Chu Xuanchen's words, all the ministers were very pleased.
Li Jin said: "Okay, Your Majesty, you lost most of your military power because of going to Tiansheng Kingdom. Our top priority is to help you regain your military power. Only with military power, the emperor will not dare to do anything to you."
Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Okay, I will arrange this matter carefully."
The death of Taifu Han made Chu Xuanchen gain a lot of popular support.
Now more officials and people choose to support him and stand on his side.
There are so many people who have expectations for him, so he must work harder and not let everyone down.
-
The fact that Taifu Han's family was executed also made students all over the world very angry. Students everywhere stood up to avenge Taifu Han, but they were all suppressed by the heavy troops sent by King Rui.
Although King Rui could suppress everyone's speech, he could not suppress everyone's heart.
But Prince Rui didn't care about this. He only cared about how to please Emperor Hongyuan so that he could win the crown prince's position.
After the matter with Taifu Han came to an end, Prince Rui came to Guangming Palace, the residence of Emperor Hongyuan, and had an audience with Emperor Hongyuan.
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan took an elixir and was lying on the dragon bed with his eyes closed to rest.
At this time, Eunuch Xu's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, Prince Rui is here!"
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes indifferently and said: "Tell him to wait outside, and I will come right away."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Gonggong said.
Then Emperor Hongyuan stood up, put on his coat and walked out.
Seeing Emperor Hongyuan come out, Prince Rui walked forward in a flattering manner and said: "Father, Taifu Han's family has been solved, and now you can finally rest easy! With the example of Taifu Han, other ministers are like a tortoise. No,
Don’t you dare to show your head again!”
Emperor Hongyuan looked at Prince Rui with satisfaction, "Ruochen, you did a good job this time, which makes me very satisfied."
Prince Rui said: "It's because Taifu Han is too cunning. If he hadn't been aggressive and rebellious, I wouldn't have taught him a lesson. With his experience, I believe no one will dare to speak ill of my father again in the future."
Emperor Hongyuan plucked his beard with satisfaction, "Indeed, your trick is very good at frightening monkeys. Ruochen, you are brave and resourceful, decisive in doing things, and agile in your actions. You are worthy of being my son!"
Prince Rui was very happy to receive the praise from Emperor Hongyuan.
On the surface, he said modestly: "It's all because of my father's good teachings. Taifu Han was so rebellious that he dared to listen to King Li's instigation and came to accuse my father. He deserved to die. Now that we have got rid of him, Chu Xuanchen will lose an arm."
, let’s see who dares to help Chu Xuanchen again in the future.”
When he mentioned Chu Xuanchen, Emperor Hongyuan's eyes became extremely gloomy.
This Chu Xuanchen has been piercing his heart like a thorn.
If he doesn't pull it out, his heart will hurt.
But once it was pulled out, his heart would bleed profusely, and he really didn't dare to touch it, so he had to feel like it was stuck in his throat every day.
He looked at Prince Rui and said with admiration: "Ruochen, I feel relieved because you can restrain Chu Xuanchen! You are different from Liu Yun. Liu Yun is kind and kind-hearted. Those who achieve great things must be decisive in killing.
Be ruthless and avoid being kind like a woman."
Prince Rui frowned slightly.
When the emperor said this, was he praising him as being better than the wise king?
He said: "Father, please rest assured. Your sons and ministers will always follow your father's lead and will go through fire and water for your father, no matter what."
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. He patted Prince Rui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Ruochen, please take good care of my father. When the time is right, you will also have the opportunity to take over the East Palace."
King Rui was secretly happy.
Does your father mean that he also has a chance to become the prince?
In this case, he has hope.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Father, when I enter the palace this time, I have carefully prepared two gifts for you."
"A gift?" Emperor Hongyuan was startled.
Prince Rui said: "Yes, Father, please look at the first gift."
As he spoke, a jade box suddenly appeared in his hand.
Seeing the jade box, Emperor Hongyuan's eyes lit up.
King Rui opened the jade box, and a wisp of orchid fragrance immediately floated out of the jade box.
As soon as Emperor Hongyuan smelled the smell, he was surprised and said: "This is the elixir, Ruochen, where did you get it?"
Prince Rui hurriedly handed the jade box to Emperor Hongyuan and said: "Father, this elixir is called 'Longevity Pill'. It is fragrant and crystal clear. My son and I found it with great difficulty."
"Longevity pill?" Emperor Hongyuan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Is this the pill that the previous Emperor Jing took?"
"My father is wise." Prince Rui said, "This is the royal elixir that Emperor Jing of the previous dynasty took. It was refined by Chen Fu, a famous alchemist of the previous dynasty. I heard that Emperor Jing has been taking this elixir, and he has been immortal ever since, living in seclusion in the world.
"My son tried his best to find Chen Fu's descendants, and then spent all his money to buy this one, so it is extremely precious."
After that, he said again: "Father, do you want to give it a try?"
Emperor Hongyuan was very happy and said with a smile: "Okay, Ruochen, you are interested, I will try it now."
After saying that, he took out the white elixir from the jade box and put it into his mouth.
As soon as the elixir entered his mouth, a cool feeling hit his heart. Emperor Hongyuan suddenly felt refreshed and filled with immortal energy.
He praised it: "This is indeed the best elixir, and it makes me feel like I have ascended to immortality."
Prince Rui smiled and said: "Father, I hope you are satisfied. I also have another treasure that can be used in conjunction with this elixir. It will complement each other perfectly. Please accept it with your approval."
