"Teacher, that Ye Liuyun is indeed as troublesome as you said."
At this moment, Prince An Yan Jiangâs expression was calm as he spoke.
There was none of the annoyance he showed when facing Ye Liuyun during the day.
Getting to the position of Crown Prince, while supported by Fu Zhengqing, the Grandmaster, would not have been possible without Yan Jiangâs own abilities.
The incident during the morning court session.
It was merely a probing test.
"A young Grandmaster, if he didnât have some capabilities, would have died long ago!"
Fu Zhengqing was not surprised by this at all.
There are many geniuses in this world, but those who survive are few. How could they not have some talent and skill?
"Teacher, should we let Miao Cheng and his group directly kill this Ye Liuyun?"
Miao Cheng was the name of the Grandmaster who had previously escaped from Purgatory.
"Youâre being too impatient this time!"
Looking at Yan Jiang in front of him, Fu Zhengqing did not answer directly but said something else.
There are some things that even though Fu Zhengqing did not participate in, he found it easy to know.
"Teacher, I canât help being anxious!"
Faced with Fu Zhengqing, Yan Jiang did not hide his feelings.
Perhaps because he truly trusted Fu Zhengqing from the bottom of his heart.
"The emperor is about to exit seclusion; I canât afford to wait five hundred years."
If the old emperor breaks through to the Land Immortal realm, extending his life by five hundred years, how could I wait? Waiting until death wouldnât bring me the throne.
There was nothing to be done.
Yan Jiang could only think of other ways, using the prisoners from Purgatory to create some disturbances.
It would be best if these could force his father to exit seclusion prematurely. After all, as long as he hasnât broken through to the Land Immortal realm, everything else doesnât matter.
"Itâs useless!"
Fu Zhengqing could see through Yan Jiangâs little schemes at a glance.
If this method were effective, Fu Zhengqing would have used it long ago.
"His Majesty still has that good dog, Nine Thousand Years, by his side. Knowing His Majestyâs character, even if the entire Imperial City were in chaos, he wouldnât exit seclusion early when it is at a critical juncture."
The same old saying.
As long as he breaks through to the Land Immortal realm, any rebellion can be suppressed with the flip of a hand by the old emperor.
In the face of absolute strength, these problems donât even count as problems.
"This..."
Yan Jiang also knew that what Fu Zhengqing said was true.
But it was precisely because of this that Yan Jiang felt so unwilling.
"I ask that Teacher guide me. Once I ascend the throne, I will make you the Great Qian National Preceptor."
In terms of status, Fu Zhengqing, as the current Prime Minister and the head of the civil ministers, already held a position as high as one personâs beneath only the emperor, so the role of National Preceptor was merely an added honor.
The reason Yan Jiang said this was naturally not simply to offer the position of National Preceptor.
"At that time, I will do my utmost to assist you in cultivation. Teacher, you must also wish to glimpse the grandeur of the Land Immortal realm. Once I become emperor, I will absolutely not limit your cultivation!"
"..."
Fu Zhengqing said nothing, but his expression froze.
Anyone who can cultivate to the Grandmaster Realm is an extraordinary figure.
Which of them wouldnât want to break through to the legendary Land Immortal realm?
Fu Zhengqing naturally harbored this desire as well.
In the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm, Fu Zhengqing had remained for over twenty years. Is it truly because Fu Zhengqingâs talent could only take him this far?
Of course not.
Without mentioning the later stages, Fu Zhengqing was confident that in twenty years, there would definitely be no issue breaking through to the mid-level Grandmaster Realm.
But the reason he remained at the early Grandmaster stage.
Was purely because the old emperor would only tolerate Fu Zhengqingâs power at this level.
If he grew stronger, the old emperor would only become more wary, potentially striking him down if he attempted further breakthroughs.
Hence.
Fu Zhengqing opted to tread a different path, simultaneously practicing the arts of a mage.
This undoubtedly proved that Fu Zhengqing wished to continue cultivating and growing stronger.
But the old emperorâs presence hindered Fu Zhengqingâs desire to become stronger.
"Not enough!"
As Yan Jiangâs eyes burned with enthusiasm while looking at Fu Zhengqing.
Fu Zhengqing finally spoke.
"What?"
This statement left Yan Jiang momentarily stunned.
"The disturbances are not enough!"
Clearly, Fu Zhengqing was tempted.
Fu Zhengqing couldnât let go of a Prime Ministerâs power, nor could he; even if he left Great Qian to serve elsewhere, the old emperor would not spare him.
Therefore.
In such times, the absence of the old emperor becomes very important.
"The death of merely two princes wonât suffice."
"What does Teacher mean?"
Yan Jiang, with a face full of humbleness, sought advice while already feeling a sense of excitement.
In Yan Jiangâs view, Fu Zhengqingâs words clearly indicated his agreement to help him; with the aid of a Grandmaster, success was possible.
"Since youâre going to make a scene, make it big."
As he said this, a hint of coldness flashed in Fu Zhengqingâs eyes.
If youâre going to do something, do it thoroughly.
Fu Zhengqing didnât become a Grandmaster by quietly cultivating.
"In half a month, the young emperorâs birthday will arrive. At that time, emissaries from the Liuli Dynasty will also come to offer congratulations!"
As neighboring dynasties, Liuli and Great Qian maintained good relations.
This was primarily because the Liuli Dynasty was peaceful and non-aggressive. Great Qian similarly would send emissaries to offer congratulations during the Liuli emperorâs birthday.
