Chapter 50 (1/2)

When they

left the wineshop, the lanterns were high up The night market street was

bustling with activity, people came and went

The emperor

did not want to sit in a carriage, since he rarely came out for a wonder he was

really i at all about

the forbidden guards worries, hethe crown prince up, placing hi

him

Seeing this

’s eyes becaical

son! Sooner or later there will be a day when he, wang Yun Feng will hold his

son in his ar off hoerful he is

The emperor

: “To be honest it’s good that that

kid’s surna and jostling withbetween cousins, if he’s surna else,

he wouldn’t have such a rare honour” As he spoke, he also stroked the crown

prince’s head: “If his surna, it’ll be hard for him to avoid those

wicked habits of you literature officials Mind not honourable, person not

sincere, and a highly skilled in reat

general to guard home, defend the country, and can be a crafty scoundrel

causing upheaval to my laws and disciplines of imperial court and ruin the

country I, you want him to take that path?”

wang Yun

Feng held his breath

These

private words of the e chips

for the crown prince The Xia family is the crown prince’s maternal family, the

youngsters of the Xia fa to be pawns in the crown

prince’s hand in the future Literature officials hite, fifth rank officials

were black Even though the Xia fauards, but those were used

to protect the fa the imperial power

Xia family

had nuh positions, this

was a self-preservation method of the influential families The more people

there are in high positions, their minds will be polluted, it would threaten

the family’s cohesion Even if it’s third rank and below officials, at most

there would only be two, placed where they ought to be placed, not a step over

the bounds Like a large tree, it est, but it

would be thethe

most rain and dew In the verdant and lush forest, your first glance won’t be

at it, the second, the third time you will finally notice it

Literature

officials were leaves, military officials were the roots of the Xia family

large tree There are few roots, but thick and sturdy, firmly secured to the

ground deeply, the twisted roots and intertwined joints made it difficult for

people to uproot Every tiardless of howas the trunk doesn’t move, that tree

will continue to survive as before The fifth grandfather of the Xia family,

Xia Xiang Min, was the Xia fahest rank

official great general was however not sitting in court, sent far away to be

stationed at the seaside controlling one third of the naval military power, and

secure the foundation of the Xia family in Dayan

Ast the

elders of the Xia family there were those of literature and those of military,

however a literature children,

those who excelled in martial arts were few The adopted son of the third

branch of the faer were just

mediocre

The crown

prince’s two older brothers had long ago grasped the crown prince’s weak spot,

a long tienerals, what more the second

prince hi it was to help his

younger brother the crown prince defend territory in the future, pretty words

people liked to hear, but the emperor didn’t necessarily believe it The

emperor needed a child ouldn’t threaten the crown prince’s position,

capture military power for the crown prince This sort of person can be nurtured,

or can be plucked from the crown prince’s future officials In honesty it

wouldn’t work, then let the Xia family be the head of the literature officials,

pick afamilies of the Xia family to be his

equal, maintain the balance

Who knew, along

the way a wild leopard like Xia Fen appeared unexpectedly Fearing nothing in

heaven or earth, as he was young, his temper had still not been polished If

the crown prince could tame this wild animal, Xia Fen would naturally be

spurred on with all his strength for the crown prince, knock down all the

obstructions for the crown prince Xia Fen, was a wild beast crouching fiercely

by the crown prince’s leg When it was necessary, the wild beast can be used to

bite so the beast and eating its

meat also doesn’t use much labour or resource

The emperor

thought in the long-ter simply considered carefully Xia Fen’s

life

Those words

of the e Yun Feng give

up give up Xia Fen’s status as the son of the first wife, paving a

golden-bright and dazzling road for Xia Fen’s solory, splendour, wealth

and rank, it was also fine for Xia Fen to beco’s son of the

first or wife Only, the emperor won’t allow him to become a chess piece in

another prince’s hand, threaten the title of E family has

any unwarranted thoughts, the emperor did not care to take the place of the

crown prince to flatten the unstable hindrances, let Xia Fen be the sacrificial

victim in place of the imperial power

This was

equivalent to a blade covered in honey, across the front of wang Yun Feng’s

neck, asking hinise his ancestors and

ultimately die in the underworld, or want him to live peacefully his name in

the annals but without a single bit of connection to the wang family?

wang Yun

Feng really wanted to loudly announce: he is ’s son!

However, at

his very ’sthe tords “son” weighing like thousand pounds of gold into his stomach

The sound

of the white horse hoofs became distant, the invisible pressure the people on

its back brought also gradually dissipated

wang Yun

Feng was motionless, quite a while later he suddenly became aware, both eyes

lacking spirit, only feeling his ars were paralysed, his back was

sticky a huge patch of sweat soaking through

His

complexion was pale, just now he tried to lift his foot and take a step his

entire body nearly fell over
