Chapter 948: Chapter 55: Refining Heaven and Earth into Yin Yang, Few Names Remain in History_5

At that time on the train, he once said to those two extraordinary geniuses—my ambition is to one day lead an army across the sea, journey far to the Western Continent, to expand the territory of the Da Lan Dynasty, and conquer the world!

Thinking of this, the Crown Prince’s back was quickly drenched with sweat.

He was not surprised at all why the private words he said to Li Fei and Ming Qi would be known by the Emperor.

He just suddenly understood the Emperor’s intentions and realized where he went wrong this time.

“Your son…remembers.”

The Crown Prince said somewhat bitterly.

The Emperor looked at him: “I thought this ambition was genuinely what you wanted. Or was it just big talk from you, used to win people’s hearts?”

The Crown Prince’s forehead bulged with veins as he bowed his head and said:

“Your son…truly wants to, in the future, unify the world for the Da Lan Dynasty!”

The Emperor shook his head:

“If it is what you genuinely want, why is your vision still confined to merely one Eastern Continent? In the future, when you plan to campaign against the Western Continent, won’t you need to rely on talents like Li Fei?

Are you worried that there will be no titles left to grant him when an entire Western Continent is there to give away?”

The Crown Prince broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing that.

He immediately understood why the Emperor wanted to promote Li Fei to ‘Minister of Care’.

This was a supreme sword chosen especially for him, for the future expedition against the Western Continent!

All internal conflicts can actually be transformed into external conflicts.

Because fundamentally, it is nothing but the word ‘interest’.

Why is State Preceptor Yun Shu so devoted to the Da Lan Dynasty?

Apart from the bonds between monarch and minister, it is also because his Dao is involved.

If the Da Lan Dynasty truly can campaign against the Western Continent and unify the world in the future, then Yun Shu, who follows the ‘Support Dragon’, may have the opportunity to Breakthrough to the Peak!

Similarly, for Wenren Zheng, who practices the Military School’s Dao, leading troops to conquer the Western Continent in the future, if accomplished, could also allow his personal cultivation to advance, reaching the Peak!

Although Li Fei’s Dao is not yet determined, it can certainly be guided in this direction.

For a moment, the Crown Prince thought about many things.

He suddenly bowed deeply and said somewhat fearfully:

“Thank you for your teachings, Father Emperor. Your son has realized his mistake!”

He knew that the Emperor might see this incident as a test for him.

But unfortunately, his ‘answer’ did not satisfy the Emperor.

The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince bowing and admitting his mistake, sighing inwardly.

The three sons he had specially chosen:

The Eldest Prince, brave beyond measure, but too rigid and easily broken, somewhat obstinate and arrogant.

The Crown Prince, cautious, but lacking decisiveness, suitable for maintaining but not for expansion.

As for the Third Prince, he is calculating and decisive. He is cruel and ruthless by nature.

Such a person may be a qualified Emperor, but unfortunately, he is not the Crown Prince.

If it were a time when the nation was strong, the Emperor might consider passing the throne to the Third Prince.

But now, with the Great Lan Dynasty’s National Fortune continuously damaged, these are challenging times.

Rashly changing the Crown Prince will only increase internal strife and turmoil, which is unacceptable to the Emperor.

So even though he was not satisfied, the Emperor could only pass the throne to the Crown Prince.

“Go back and think carefully about what I said, I am tired.”

The Emperor waved his hand, indicating the Crown Prince could withdraw.

“Yes, your son takes his leave.”

The Crown Prince saluted and left.

“Cough, cough, cough, cough!”

After the Crown Prince left, the Emperor finally no longer suppressed himself and coughed violently.

He covered his mouth and coughed for a while, then opened his hand to see that it was full of blood!

However, under his control, the disturbances within the Imperial Study Room were completely undetectable from the outside.

Wiping away the blood from his hand, a look of extreme unwillingness flashed in the Emperor’s eyes:

“If only I had another ten years….”

If there were no rebellion by Qing Xu, the National Fortune was not damaged, Yun Shu was not severely injured, Qi Ming did not take advantage to attain the Dao…

A few more years, once the Buddhist’s refining of Sha Qi increased in quantity, and once Li Fei fully matured…

The Emperor was confident of launching an unprecedented expedition!

But now, this grand ambition could only be entrusted to the next generation.

His towering aspirations, in the end, became empty.

“I wonder how the future annals will record me?”

The Emperor looked at the white clouds outside the window and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Of the many on the long stretch of history, how many leave their names?
