Chapter 495 The Second Prince

Several people present were stunned when they heard that the second prince invited out by Heiyulou was a bit ridiculous.

How could the dignified second prince be related to an underground force like Black Feather Tower?

Bu Tiange raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Zheng: "They even invited the prince out, so this time it's your turn to consider whether you should give in?"

Han Zheng said calmly: "I'm just a prince, not a prince. Why are you so cowardly?"

Although the other party is the second prince Ji Xuanjing, Han Zheng is really not afraid of the other party, because the prince of Dazhou does not have any real power and cannot have any real power.

Even most princes almost always behave with their tail between their legs, for fear of offending others.

This stems from the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Each generation of emperors was afraid that their heirs would kill each other and seize power after their death, so they tried their best to weaken the power of many princes.

Among the princes of the Zhou Dynasty in the past, only the prince's East Palace had subordinate officials and some military power.

The other princes are strictly prohibited from intervening in politics, and even the number of guards is required.

Moreover, all princes are not allowed to be crowned kings. They must wait until the new emperor ascends the throne before they can crown their brothers kings.

This is also done to let these princes receive favors from the new emperor, and to let them know that they must please the other person when he is still the prince, so that they can get a good fiefdom after the other person ascends the throne.

Of course, although this move is to limit the fight for the right to inherit the throne, it is not too restrictive in reality.

The accession of each generation of emperors to the throne is rarely smooth, almost always accompanied by bloody storms.

The same is true for this generation. The prince was deposed, but the emperor has not established another prince, so strictly speaking, anyone is qualified to become the prince.

As the second prince, Ji Xuanjing is the natural successor.

Moreover, he was a generous and wise man, and was praised as having the appearance of a wise king. He had an excellent reputation in the outside world, and his grandfather was even the most distinguished Duke of Jing, Li Changming.

Logically speaking, Han Zheng should be wary of someone with this status, but in fact, Han Zheng is not too afraid of him.

The reason is very simple. In Han Zheng's opinion, the probability that the second prince can ascend the throne is very low.

The prince was disgusted and deposed by the emperor. Ji Xuanjing, the second prince, had such a good reputation and a good background, but until now, there was not even the slightest hint of making him the prince. It can be imagined that Emperor Ji Taichang felt bad about him. What is the attitude of the second son?

The more high-profile he is now, the more fearful Ji Taichang will be.

You haven't become the prince yet, and you already have the qualities of a wise king. When you become the prince, will I give up the throne to you?

In short, Han Zheng was very dissatisfied with the second prince.

He seems low-key, but in fact he is flamboyant and somewhat short-sighted.

But now that the other party wants to be the mediator, Han Zheng will give him face.

It just so happened that he also wanted to see what the owner of Black Feather Tower was planning.

At noon on the second day, Han Zheng took Xiang Yuangong, three others, and Bu Tiange directly to Tianxing Tower, one of the top ten restaurants in the capital.

It is said that this luxurious restaurant with nineteen floors is the property of the second prince Ji Xuanjing.

After climbing to the top floor, there were two guards standing at the door of the box. They both had the cultivation level of Xuan Gang Realm. It was obvious that they were elites in the army.

"Master Han, please come in."

After verifying their identities, the two guards opened the door to the box and invited Han Zheng and others to enter.

The people from the Black Feather Building were already waiting in the box.

In addition to that building owner, there are three other building owners including Huairang.

Sitting in the main seat was a young man in fine clothes who looked to be in his thirties, with a sunny and gentle appearance.

This person is the second prince Ji Xuanjing. His real age is actually over fifty years old, but he looks very young because of his cultivation.

Seeing Han Zheng coming, Ji Xuanjing stood up and laughed and said: "I have heard about Lord Han's reputation for a long time, and seeing him today is really extraordinary.

Although Dang Mo Division has always produced talents in large numbers, Master Han became famous in the capital soon after he came to Beijing. He is truly a hero among heroes. "

Ji Xuanjing had a sincere smile on his face, without any trace of the arrogance of being a member of the royal family.

Now Han Zheng finally understood why the other party had such a good reputation in the court.

Not wanting to hit the smiling man, Han Zheng also cupped his hand and said, "Your Highness, you're welcome. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital. I, Han Zheng, am just an inconspicuous little person. I am nothing."

The owner of Black Feather Tower said with a smile: "Mr. Han, you are being humble. It is not a small person who can destroy the two branches of our Black Feather Tower in one day."

Although his purpose was to find Han Zheng to resolve the matter, Han Zheng had destroyed two of his branch buildings after all. It was strange that the owner of the Black Feather Building had a better attitude.

Han Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at the mysterious Black Feather Building owner, and then sent a message to Xiang Yuangong behind him and asked, "Do you recognize this person?"

Xiang Yuangong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and said via voice transmission: "It turns out to be him! The owner of Black Feather Tower is actually Sheng Tianan! No wonder Black Feather Tower can rise so fast.

Sir, this Sheng Tianan has a good background. His father is Sheng Xuanting, Duke An of Great Zhou, and his mother is His Majesty's younger sister, Princess Lin'an.

An Guogong's lineage dominated the government and the public, and he had many connections in the court and the military. In his early years, Sheng Tianan was a rare genius in the capital. At the age of eighteen, he entered the realm of martial arts master and became famous in the capital. "

"If the other party comes from such a background, why did he become the owner of Black Feather Tower?"

A young genius from the top noble family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his father is a duke and his mother is a princess. Sheng Tianan can be said to be a royal relative and has a bright future.

Although the identity of the owner of the Black Feather Tower is also very impressive, it is still an underground force and cannot be brought to the stage.

"Because he stood on the wrong side in the battle for the throne.

His mother Princess Lin'an was good friends with another prince who was competing with the current emperor for the position of crown prince, so Anguogong Sheng Xuanting also stood on the opposite side.

And they seemed to have caused great obstacles to the current emperor, and even made the current emperor almost unable to ascend the throne.

So after ascending the throne, the emperor directly ordered the Anguogong line to be stripped of their titles and their property confiscated.

However, considering Princess Lin'an's status, or perhaps not wanting to be called cold-blooded, he spared Princess Lin'an and her only child Sheng Tianan and imprisoned them instead.

But Princess Lin'an did not want to be humiliated so she committed suicide, and Sheng Tianan has been missing since then. Unexpectedly, the Black Feather Tower, which has risen rapidly in recent years, has its backers. The owner of the building turned out to be Sheng Tianan.

The lineage of Duke Anguo was powerful in the court and was a top noble. Although they failed to stand on the same side, they still had a lot of friendship with other nobles and even knew a lot of their secrets.

Sheng Tianan built the Black Feather Building with this as the core. No wonder he was successful.

In addition, he actually cultivated to the Yangshen realm. With such a foundation, it is not surprising that the Black Feather Building can become the leader of the underground forces in the capital. "

Han Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at Sheng Tianan, and said lightly: "Compared with the young master who was famous in the capital in the past, am I not a small figure?"

As soon as these words came out, Sheng Tianan's face suddenly sank, and his eyes looking at Han Zheng were a little cold.

What happened in the Duke Anguo Mansion back then was a thorn in Sheng Tianan's heart.

Although Ji Taichang pardoned them mother and son in the end, the loser of the battle for the throne is a loser and cannot be seen in the light.

If he is honest and low-key, it's fine, but if he makes a high-profile comeback, His Majesty may find trouble with him.

All these years, Sheng Tianan has wanted to be the young master who is famous in the capital again? It's just that he doesn't dare.

So now there is only the owner of the Black Feather Tower in the capital, but no young master Sheng Tianan of Anguo.

Now Han Zheng mentioned it, it was like stabbing a knife in his heart.

Facing Sheng Tianan's knife-like eyes, Han Zheng looked back unceremoniously, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.

At this time, Ji Xuanjing hurriedly said: "You two came here to solve the problem, why make it so stiff?

Give me a face, everyone sit down and talk, can't we solve this matter in a friendly manner?"
