Chapter 257

C257 – Lobbing

Many years ago, Tang Yue had recommended Mr Xuan Jing to Crown Prince Zhao. Since then, Mr Xuan Jing had secretly come to North Yue. He first lived in a mountain, then he recruited the four major Confucians to cook tea and discuss the Dao. The reputation of the Great Sage had gradually spread.

Because he was young, he announced to the public that his master had been a hermit and lived in the mountain since he was young. He only wanted to come out and see the world after his master passed away.

His chess skills were profound, he was good at tea, and he was good at zither music. Naturally, he was also good at politics and the livelihood of the people. Many great Confucians were willing to admit defeat.

At that time, when the Fourth Prince heard the news and rushed over to acknowledge him as his master, Mr Xuan Jing did not agree at first. Until the Fourth Prince came three times and still did not see anyone, he angrily brought Mr Xuan Jing back to the capital with force. Only then did Mr Xuan Jing, as a half-captive, half-guest elder, stay in the Fourth Prince’s estate.

Putting aside how much time and effort the fourth prince had spent to please Mr Xuan Jing, the other princes and North Yue Kings all wanted to recruit him.

However, the Fourth Prince was not stupid. How could he give away such a great talent to others? Therefore, he spent all his efforts to subdue Mr Xuan Jing, and Mr Xuan Jing did help him with his plans and plans. In just a short year, he had made great achievements, and successfully made the North Yue King look at him in a different light.

As a result, Mr Xuan Jing’s name became even more famous. After the war between the north and south broke out, the North Yue King used the excuse that the Imperial Court was in urgent need of talents to invite Mr Xuan Jing into the palace.

“Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness. You are finally able to fulfill your wish as usual.” Mr Xuan Jing bowed slightly. He looked like an immortal. He was elegant and elegant. Even Crown Prince Zhao had to admit that he was a paragon.

“It’s all thanks to Mr Xuan Jing’s years of planning. Thank you for your hard work, mister.”

“I am Crown Princess’s advisor. As long as it is his order, I will naturally complete it one by one.” Mr Xuan Jing was not a person who forgot about his master. Moreover, he had seen through Tang Yue’s extraordinary character from the beginning. He did not have the heart to change his master.

Although Crown Prince Zhao was also a rare monarch, Tang Yue had left a deep impression on him. It was as if he was the savior of the world.

Crown Prince Zhao didn’t mind his attitude. Those who were loyal to Tang Yue were loyal to him. In his opinion, there was no difference.

“The death of the North Yue King and the death of the Fourth Prince. May I know where the second prince is?”

“Your Highness should have guessed it, right?” Mr Xuan Jing pointed outside the gate. “The second prince has taken all the military power in the capital. He has taken all the soldiers out of the city. His Highness must know who his target is.”

Crown Prince Zhao nodded. “Lone soldiers are divided into two groups. Originally, I wanted to compete with him outside of the capital. I didn’t expect that he would leave such a big surprise for me.”

“That’s why I have to congratulate Your Highness. With the defense of the city, even if the Second Prince had wings, he wouldn’t be able to break into the city.”

Crown Prince Zhao couldn’t help but smile. “It’s not like there’s no chance of winning at all. After all, this capital is the capital of North Yue. The civilians and officials in the city are all loyal to the North Yue. If they resist with all their strength, we won’t be able to kill them all. “

Your Highness, you can rest assured about this. I have been doing well in the North Yue all these years. With my reputation, it won’t be difficult for me to pacify the civilians. “

“Oh?” Crown Prince Zhao raised his eyebrows and bowed to Mr Xuan Jing. “Thank you, sir.”

“That’s good!” Crown Prince Zhao jumped on his horse and led his men to the city gate.

Mr Xuan Jing stood still and looked at the majestic palace. He smiled at the guard Crown Prince Zhao had left for him and said, “Then I will have to trouble you to accompany me around.”

Everyone in the city was in a panic. Mr Xuan Jing did not walk around on the streets. Instead, he went to a few big universities and met the people of the big universities.

In the city, the civilians would not use their lives to stop the South Jin army. As long as they could survive, they did not care who was in charge.

Although the officials of the Imperial Court were troublesome, they could be killed. If there were any rebellious officials, they could kill to warn the monkeys.

The nobles valued profits and were afraid of death. They could be bought over, but coercion was not a hindrance.

The only trouble was the students in the city. They were patriotic, moral, and loyal. They did not have the strength to fight, but they knew how to talk. They could write with their hands, and their hearts were the most determined. They could not be shaken easily.

That was why these people were the backbone of the city’s resistance.

However, these people were different from the officials. They could not kill all of them. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the world of North Yue to be stable.

The scholars of the world were the spiritual pillar of the country. Although these people didn’t have the authority, they had no right to kill all of them. However, it had tremendous influence. Once all of them opposed the invasion of South Jin, even if South Jin defeated the imperial court and army of North Yue, it would be very difficult for them to gain a foothold here.

“The world will be united after a long period of time. Look, the Monarch Star of the South has fallen, and it is replaced by an even more dazzling star. The North Yue has declined, and its fate is over. The world will enter another new era.” Mr Xuan Jing talked to the students indifferently.

Of course, there was no lack of loyalty and patriotism. The students who were unafraid of death hated the invasion of South Jin to the core. Their words were filled with anger. Even if they died, they would not be able to accept the rule of South Jin.

“I wonder why mister is protecting the South Jin like this? The Fourth Prince had really misjudged you! Humph! ” Someone stood up and shouted angrily.

Mr Xuan Jing was in no hurry to brew tea. “The Fourth Prince kidnapped me and brought me to the capital. I gave him advice in hopes that he could change the fate of North Yue, but in the end, human strength cannot resist the heavens. How can the world be reversed by me alone? The Crown Prince of South Jin is the overlord of the world. In the end, this world will still belong to him. Only by unifying the world will the people of this world be able to live and work in peace.

The theory of astrology was extremely mysterious, but most of the students believed in it. Moreover, some of them had also learned this technique, so naturally, they could tell that Mr Xuan Jing wasn’t lying.

“Sir is right, but if we are to abandon North Yue and seek refuge in South Jin, won’t that make us betray our loyalty and become the fence-sitters?”

Mr Xuan Jing shook his head and said calmly, “We are not born to be separated by our borders. What is the purpose of us all working hard to learn? “Is it for the North Yue King or King of South Jin? No, everyone wanted to live a better life for the people in this world. In order to make the Imperial Court clearer, the Monarch was more benevolent. Even if the North Yue changes owners, will everyone’s feelings change?

“But after the South Jin takes over the North Yue, how will they let us go?”

Mr Xuan Jing shook his head in amusement, “The mistakes are adding to the mistakes. The Imperial Court is in need of people. Everyone is the best opportunity to show off. How can they kill us all?”

“That’s right, that’s right...”
