Chapter 381 The Battle for the Crown Prince! The Importance of Jiang Che!

In Jiang Che's eyes, the figure in front of him looked slightly thinner, but this did not affect its power at all. Even Jiang Che felt a great pressure.

Suddenly his heart trembled, and he realized that the emperor was not a helpless person.

Emperor Yuan Kang turned his head, his deep eyes paused on Jiang Che, sat down slowly, and said calmly:

"With majestic appearance and majestic appearance, he is worthy of being the champion of my Great Zhou Dynasty."

Jiang Che lowered his eyes and said quickly:

"Thanks to His Majesty's love, I am today a humble minister."

"Oh? Isn't my love the love of my patron king?" Emperor Yuankang's tone was indifferent, with a hint of displeasure.

"The Wei ministers are His Majesty's ministers and the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The words should not be spoken too bluntly, otherwise it would be easy for people to misunderstand. Jiang Che also considered his questions and answers with the emperor.

In the south, he was the ruler of a city and the son-in-law of an aristocratic family, but what did these mean to the emperor who held the world in his hands? Jiang Che was the only one who could take action in front of the emperor.

There is only one, and that is the reputation of being number one in the martial arts realm and number one on the martial arts list.

"Then the champion, do you think it is me or the king who makes the decision in this Great Zhou Dynasty?" Emperor Yuankang was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.

Jiang Che's eyes turned and his thoughts kept flowing:

"The patron king is the pillar of the court, but His Majesty is the head of the court."

"Then are you loyal to the court or to the patron king?"

Originally, Emperor Yuan Kang would not say such things to Jiang Che the first time they met, but Jiang Che's attitude was obviously much more sincere and current.

"As a minister, you should be loyal to the court and your Majesty."

"Keep your head up."

After a long time, Emperor Yuankang uttered a few words.

Hearing this, Jiang Che slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Yuankang. The other man looked a little pale, with some white hair on his temples, as if he had worked too much.

But a pair of sharp eyes was the only one Jiang Che had ever seen in his life.

Longwei!

It's different from the dragon power in him.

His dragon power comes from his martial arts and practice, while Emperor Yuan Kang's dragon power comes from the court and power, and he has the real power of life and death, rewards and punishments.

"Come, please sit down."

Emperor Yuan Kang gave a casual order, and a guard immediately came forward to bring a chair for Jiang Che.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Che thanked him and sat down slowly with a respectful expression.

"When I first heard that Jiang Qing was only in his twenties, I thought it was impossible. There is no great master of teleportation in this world who is in his twenties, but Jiang Qing just showed up.

Not only did he make great contributions to the court, but he also reminded me of him all the time. "

Although Xiuyiwei's control was limited to the territory of Zhongzhou, it was not a world-wide matter that he didn't know about. He had actually read the files about Jiang Che before Jiang Che was awarded the title of Champion Marquis.

And gave an eight-word evaluation.

Gratitude must be repaid, and ambition is not small.

This is not derogatory, but complimentary.

Throughout Jiang Che's growth, he would always repay those who had helped him. Even the family members of the deceased Shangguan, he took good care of.

Gave outsiders a high level of trust.

As for ambition, in fact, real big shots never hate ambitious people. As long as the other person has that ability, he is worthy of that ambition. There is no doubt that Jiang Che is worthy.

Therefore, Emperor Yuankang wanted to win over Jiang Che.

Therefore, Emperor Yuankang gave the Qi family's legitimate daughter the status of a third-grade imperial concubine when Jiang Che got married, just to show his attitude. However, Jiang Che didn't seem to understand what he meant.

The first thing he did after arriving in the capital was to meet the patron king.

That’s what I said just now.

The importance of Jiang Che is self-evident. He is the youngest marquis in the imperial court and the most promising young warrior in the world. He has a great possibility of becoming a martial saint in the future.

The Martial Saint was enough for the emperor to pay attention to.

Each statue is a pillar of the imperial court.

But he didn't want someone with potential like Jiang Che to side with the patron king. Instead, he wanted to divide and win over, or even make him and the patron king Ji Chengdao have a grudge.

It’s just that there is no such good opportunity yet.

"Wei Chen, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

No matter what Emperor Yuan Kang showed, Jiang Che responded very respectfully.

Although he knew Emperor Yuankang Ji Wenhao before, it was still his first time meeting him. In fact, he couldn't tell what kind of person he was.

"I summoned you to the capital this time to guard against that brat from the Northern Barbarians. What do you think? Do you have confidence?" Emperor Yuankang changed his tone when he saw that Jiang Che's answer was flawless.

"When the time comes, I will do my best to prevent the court from losing face."

"You, you are obviously only in your twenties, you are still young and energetic, how come you act so mature?" Seeing Jiang Che's answer, Emperor Yuan Kang was also quite surprised.

"Your Majesty is so majestic that I dare not make any mistakes in front of His Majesty."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the champion to flatter you. Yes, yes. I appreciate you more and more." Emperor Yuan Kang said with a smile.

After a moment of compliments, the exchange between Emperor Yuan Kang and Jiang Che became more and more lively. Not only did he ask about Jiang Che's past when he was young, but he also talked about some details of Jiang Che's battle in Wujing and the battle in South Vietnam.

Jiang Che, of course, gave Zhennan Marquis Li Chengguo timely eye drops.

"You mean, Li Chengguo had an affair with South Vietnam?"

Emperor Yuankang narrowed his eyes.

"Weichen didn't say that, he just suspected some of the original situation."

"Tell me carefully."

Emperor Yuankang asked with interest.

“At the beginning, the South Vietnamese army suppressed the border and divided its troops into three groups. However, the other two groups only had a few thousand soldiers and horses. They were not in an offensive state at all. There were several important towns on the Yuezhou border.

They never sent troops to resist the rebellion, but fell into a confrontation. However, the city gate guarded by Wei Chen was violently attacked by several great masters of South Vietnam.

If the minister had not invited the great master of Beiling Qi clan to defend the city, Tiannan Pass would definitely not be able to stop the Nanyue army. But at this critical moment, reinforcements from the Zhennan army came.

But it seems very slow.”

In fact, Jiang Che also knew that there was a tacit understanding between the imperial court and Li Chengguo, who was in the same town. Emperor Yuan Kang must also know, but this did not prevent Jiang Che from giving him eye drops.

"So, you use this to judge that Li Chengguo is collaborating with the enemy?"

"Your Majesty is sitting all over the world, and his eyes are like torches. I think he knows about this."

Emperor Yuan Kang stared at Jiang Che, smiled, and then said:

"Actually, what Li Chengguo wants is nothing more than one thing, and that is to make him the king. Naturally, what he does cannot escape my eyes, but it is only compared to the Northern Barbarians and Monster Clan.

The land of South Vietnam is just a minor problem. "

"Since Your Majesty is confident, I can rest assured. I am just afraid of losing the land in Yuezhou, so I risk my life to make a suggestion." Jiang Che replied in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'm not a narrow-minded person. I'm very happy that you are energetic and considerate of the court. However, this kind of matter is of great importance and should not be handled lightly.

But this is only now. In fact, I have always been paying attention, but there are not many trustworthy ministers around me. Jiang Chezhen is very optimistic about you.

As long as I don't take the wrong path in the future, let alone a marquis, I will be willing to reward him with the throne. "

Emperor Yuankang patted Jiang Che's shoulder to encourage him, and drew a pie in front of Jiang Che, but there was a lingering sense of pride about him.

Jiang Che disagreed in his heart. He didn't care about marquises or kings. He only cared about actual interests. But on the surface, he expressed his loyalty to Emperor Yuankang with great excitement:

"Your Majesty is so kind that I will never be able to repay you even if I die!"

Fenghe Palace.

The queen's bedroom.

After returning from the Royal Garden, Queen Xue Baichi (shen) still looked unhappy. As a general and a tiger girl, Xue Baichi's temperament and character had never been very good.

This is especially true after sitting on the throne of queen.

This time, the emperor's dislike of her and his attitude towards establishing the crown prince made her feel a lot of crisis. The eldest prince Ji Changqian was supported by the Taoist sect, and the second prince Ji Changzhi was supported by the Buddhist sect.

And although her son Ji Changsheng, as the legitimate son, has the power of her natal family to rely on, the key point is that the power of her natal family is not in the capital at all.

It is precisely for this reason that among the three most promising princes to compete for the throne, her son actually has the slimmest chance. Therefore, she has been jumping around in recent years in an attempt to persuade the emperor.

However, even though she was beautiful, plump and beautiful, she still could not attract the emperor's attention at all. Ever since the emperor practiced with the imperial master Yue Yue more than 20 years ago.

It was like she had given up sexual desire. She never touched a woman again and rarely even went to the harem. As a result, she was unable to use many methods. This time, the emperor's attitude made her understand.

Her son was probably not among the candidates for the emperor's heir apparent.

For the sake of the future, she had to find other ways.

This must not continue.

Find a way to break the situation.

"Mother, you...you don't look good."

The third prince Ji Changsheng, who arrived in a hurry, walked into Fenghe Palace and saw the gloomy face of his mother and concubine at a glance, and suddenly there was a bad premonition in his heart.

Raising her head, Queen Xue Bai's eyes were full of evil:

"Today the Queen Mother went to the Imperial Garden to meet with His Majesty and once again raised the matter of establishing a heir apparent."

"Could it be, could it be the father?"

Ji Changsheng felt a little panicked, fearing that his mother's next words would mean that he had lost the qualification to compete for the heir apparent.

"His Majesty still did not tell the Queen Mother the answer directly. He even said that Ji Changqian is more qualified than you. If this continues, the position of prince will probably only arise between Ji Changqian and Ji Changzhi."

"Queen mother, is there any way?"

"Among your Majesty's six princes, the three of you are the most qualified to compete for the position of crown prince. The other three, although they are supported by forces behind them, have slim chances.

Ji Changqian was supported by that bitch Jiayue, Ji Changzhi was also supported by Buddhism, and both the Taoist and Buddhist families fell out. Now you have only one chance, which is to win the support of White Deer Academy or the patron king. "

"White Deer Academy. Backer King."

Ji Changsheng's face looked uncertain.

Although Confucianism and Taoism declined, White Deer Academy could still barely maintain its qualifications as an immortal sect. However, White Deer Academy had never been keen on competing for the throne. It was not that he had not tried.

All that was available were ambiguous answers.

As for the patron king, that is even more taboo.

Because when his father Ji Wenhao ascended the throne, it was with the support of Ji Chengdao that he defeated the former prince and took the throne. The dragon slayer eventually became an evil dragon.

After sitting on the throne, Ji Wenhao developed a great resistance to the patron king who could influence the throne, especially the prince who hated being close to the patron king.

It was because of this that his fourth brother was directly disqualified from competing for the throne because of his father's disgust. Therefore, over the years, he did not even dare to think about it.

"Mother and concubine, White Deer Academy and the patron king are really not sure. What should we do if our father is angry?" Ji Changsheng did not want his hopes to be completely extinguished.

"At White Deer Academy, the queen mother will think of a solution for you. As for the patron king, naturally we cannot communicate with them openly, but we can make a roundabout way."

"roundabout?"

"Today when the Queen Mother was in the Royal Garden, she met a young man. This man is not only a popular person in front of the patron king, but also valued by His Majesty. If you can make friends with him.

This leaves room for change. "

Recalling the tall and straight young man, Xue Baiyi said in a deep voice.

"Queen mother, you are talking about the champion Hou Jiangche?"

Ji Changsheng's heart moved.

There is actually only one person in the capital who is valued by both the patron king and the emperor, and that is the champion Hou Jiangche whom he has just received news about.

In fact, he had already tried. When Jiang Che got married, he even sent a congratulatory gift, but it only had a little relationship.

"Although he has not shown any power yet, he will become an important minister in the court in the future. The Taoist and Buddhist families are too powerful, so you must unite all the forces that can be united."

"Will Coco Jiang Che be willing to support the child? As far as I know, the eldest brother and the second brother are currently trying their best to win over this person."

Even though he was a prince, he still didn't have much confidence.

After all, Jiang Che is not an ordinary grand master of the gods. He has the support of powerful forces behind him, and he is the leader of the younger generation of warriors in the Central Plains.

"If you don't try, you will never be able to compete with Ji Changqian and Ji Changzhi. As for Jiang Che, you should try to make friends with him first. When necessary, the Queen Mother will help you.

No matter what, I am also a queen. If you don’t believe it, then Jiang Che won’t give me face. "

There was a hint of arrogance in Xue Baichi's words.

Jiang Che was indeed extraordinary, and even she had to win over her son, but in the final analysis, he was just a courtier, and she was the empress of the world.

Her words were an edict, and for Jiang Che, they carried a kind of supreme right.

Even if Jiang Che didn't want to get involved in the fight for the crown prince, he didn't dare not give her face. However, this was a last resort method that could only frighten Jiang Che, but could not really make the other party support Ji Changsheng.

"My child understands."

Ji Changsheng nodded solemnly.

Thinking about how to get closer to Jiang Che and make him support him.
