With the excuse that King Lu was tired, he entered the study at the back to rest. Naturally, Gongxuan had to personally accompany him while the others continued to eat and drink at the front.

However, the feast now had other flavors to it.

"Your Highness, please have some tea."

Someone served tea and bent over to place it on the table. After Gan Xian Xuan said this, he knew that the Law King must have something to say to him. Putting away his thoughts, he had been wondering what kind of martial arts Zhong Da was using. He was one of the few people present who had seen Zhong Da's movements clearly.

"There are still places in the military region that are not in your hands. The Marquis of Heaven must want them, right?"

"Your Highness is very serious, could this world be King's Land? Everything in the Great Hengkong Empire is owned by the Emperor, how could this subject dare to think like this?"

Gan Yuxuan didn't place too much importance on the rest of the military region that was taken over by the Law King. Those were all unimportant areas, and if he didn't want those places to develop, or even encountered danger, it wouldn't be difficult. However, these places were currently in the hands of the Law King, so they were rather troublesome.

"This King can give all those places to you without moving."

Upon hearing King Lu's words, Gonggong's face didn't change. He knew that King Lu must have conditions and requirements for doing so.

"Your Highness, since those places have been taken by Your Highness, they should belong to Your Highness."

King Lu's eyes were dark and dark. He got up and paced around the study. "Marquis Qingtian, what do you think of the crown prince?"

"How can this subject talk about the Crown Prince?" Your Highness's words cause this subject to be terrified. "

The King of Law stared at Gan Jianxuan, but from his expression, there was no trace of fear. He muttered to himself for a while before smiling, "There are many rumors in the capital that you might not know nothing about. Recently, the Crown Prince has become even more powerful, and has been repeatedly impeached by the officials. The rumors outside were not good for the crown prince either. Many court officials thought that the crown prince would not be of much use! "

Gan Zhixuan stood on the ground, motionless as he looked at the Law King, not saying a single word.

He should not have interfered in the matter regarding the crown prince. With his military power, he could not interfere in the matters concerning the crown prince. This was also the reason why he had not been close with any of the princes, including the crown prince, for so many years.

Regarding the matters of the royal family, he couldn't interfere in the matter of saving the throne. In fact, he even had to avoid it.

Only this way would the Emperor think that he was wholeheartedly loyal to the Emperor, and that he didn't have the slightest disrespect towards him. Although the princes were the emperor's sons, they didn't have any kinship within the imperial household. Once he threatened the throne, even someone as respected as the crown prince would be instantly trampled under his feet, turning into a traitor and die a horrible death.

Duke Ming was a living example.

When he thought of Duke Ming, Gan Zhi's expression became even darker. All he had to do was wait and see. As long as they had military power and the northern border, no one would be able to touch the Emperor. They would do their best to rope him in.

"Lecherous and disrespectful, arrogant and unruly, you cannot show your filial piety to your royal father, and must share his worries. He could not allow the officials to submit and the people's hearts to follow him. Such a crown prince had already been utterly disheartened. A while ago, royal father heavily reprimanded His Highness, and ordered the crown prince to be confined from entering or leaving the Eastern Palace.

"I've heard of it."

"However, does Marquis Mizar know that on the third day after father's order, His Highness the Crown Prince left the Eastern Palace without permission and even captured a certain lord's son to become his mistress?"

Gan Yuxuan slightly lowered his eyes and did not say a word. Although this matter was kept a secret and had to be taken care of afterwards, there was still a rumor spreading around, so that no one in the Great Hengkong knew of it. The current crown prince was a man who was fond of men, and once he saw a handsome young man, he would think of ways to rob the East Palace of their secret chamber as a forbidden zone and never see the light of day again!

This matter was no longer a secret.

After the earlier incident, the Crown Prince still acted in secrecy, avoiding people. However, in recent years, His Highness the Crown Prince had become more and more outrageous. His actions had attracted the criticism and dissatisfaction of the entire imperial court.

The young man whom the Crown Prince had taken a fancy to was one of the advisors in the court, a young man. The young man whom the Crown Prince had taken a fancy to was one of the advisors in the imperial court.

Although the empress had suppressed this matter in the end and sent the young master out of the Eastern Palace as well, the influence was too great.

After that was the matter regarding Duke Ming. Someone found out that Duke Ming wanted to do harm to the crown prince, so he secretly gathered troops. There was something in the mansion that was prohibited from going overboard. After this incident broke out, Duke Ming openly attacked the Qing King's side, and the crown prince's banner rose up in rebellion.

After receiving the order from Duke Ming, the military state had no choice but to prepare. Although they did not follow Duke Ming to actually rebel and attack the state government of the Great Hengkong, the military state was still under the rule of Duke Ming. The first target to be attacked was the military state.

The location of the military region was simply too important.

Outside of the military region was the territory of the Nine Prefectures. The land between the two nations was an important gateway to the Great Hengkong Empire. After breaking into the military region, one could then directly attack the Great Hengkong Empire. The military region after the rebellion of Duke Ming was the place where the inferior people salivated the most.

"Father is old and is sick. Otherwise, this matter would have been handled a long time ago. The crown prince had turned the tables on him and was now extremely unpopular. If this were to continue, he would have to change his position sooner or later. "If the empress hadn't suppressed that incident last time, the outcome would've been hard to predict."

The law king said many things in a row, but Gan Zhixuan remained silent, not saying a single word.

"Marquis Qing Tian, do you really not care about this?" It must be known that royal father's current condition is serious, so royal father is also reconsidering the choice to become the next ruler. "

"Your Highness, this is something the Emperor is concerned about. This subject is only a subject on the border."

Gan Yuxuan's meaning was very clear. As a great official of the border, he held the military power and stood guard over the northern border. It had already aroused the Emperor's suspicion and fear. If it were not for the fact that the north had to rely on him to protect the kingdom, rejecting the foreign invaders and protecting the peace of the Great Hengkong, the Emperor would have long decimated his military power.

However, in recent years, the Emperor's many diseases had weakened, and the Crown Prince was no good. The northern border had always been unstable, so he didn't have the strength to worry about the northern border.

The emperor clearly knew that this would lead to more and more military might, but there was nothing he could do. His only hope was that the Mysterious Master would be loyal to him and to the Great Hengkong Empire.

"Once there is a change within the imperial court, does Marquis Mizar have such confidence that he can remain unmoved?"

"Any changes in the court are not under the control of this official. This official is only an official of the northern border. The capital is too far away. This subject has learned that it will take a long time for the Emperor to make any decisions as to what decision he wishes to make. "

Gan Jianxuan suddenly said this as he turned to look at the window.

"Although Marquis Qing Tian is far away in the northern border, An Ran is able to avoid contact with the capital. With Marquis Qing Tian's current position, he probably won't be willing to lower himself. "With your power, you might have been able to go one step further. You don't have to stay in the Northern Frontier to suffer."

"Your Highness, I do not understand."

"It's not impossible for him to become a king in the future. Marquis Mizar has great merits, and has been guarding the northern border for many years. Don't you want to go to the capital or some other place to enjoy life for a few years?"

"Tall and big horses, luxurious clothing travelling, groups of servants, delicacies of mountains and seas, rare treasures, magnanimous officials. "No need to work so hard in the north. Have you ever thought about living a life like this?"

The warm smile of the spring breeze curled up on King Lu's lips.

What beautiful woman's car, what delicious food …

He drew a beautiful blueprint for Gan Qingxuan's future. He respected the position of the prince, accompanied the carriage and horses, lived in a beautiful mansion, dressed in luxurious clothing, and had a group of servants and servants. The throne was the most revered position in a person's life, reaching the end of its lifespan.

Traditionally, there had only been two people with the surname "Emperor" in the past few hundred years. And he wanted to give Gan Yuxuan a position that was too far away for him to reach.

He thought, no man can refuse high officials, good people, beautiful women, BMWs, luxury cars, mansions, high places, enjoyment...

These things represented the ultimate ambition of all men in the world.

If there was anything more tempting than this, it would be the throne!

He did not believe that Gan Zhixuan would not want to live like that and enjoy it. He was willing to stay in the northern border and live a miserable life of bloodshed and war with his men.

Gan Zhixuan's eyes were deep and serene, as if he was thinking of something. He had been quietly listening to the Law King the entire time, and had not spoken.

After a long time, he slowly turned his gaze back to look at King Lu. "Your Highness is not confident about that position either."

"Who dares to say that they are sure of that position? All the princes, who wouldn't keep an eye on that spot? Give it to Xuan, I don't have to lie to you. If the crown prince becomes talented, I and the rest will have nothing to say. As a member of the crown prince's family, how could he allow his ancestors' foundation to fall at the hands of the crown prince just like that? If that's the case, then aren't we unfilial? "

The Law King became a little agitated as he spoke with assurance and displayed an open and honest attitude in front of Gan Yuxuan.

The Emperor was sick and weak, the Empress controlled the imperial court. Otherwise, the Crown Prince wouldn't have been able to stay in his spot forever. The incident last time had caused the Crown Prince to be grounded, to the point that he might even be crippled.

"This king is the First Prince, the first son of my royal father. Marquis of Heaven, the Crown Prince is not a blessing to the common people. "You have been guarding the northern border for a long time. Would the Crown Prince know how hard it is for you to wait?"

"This king knows very well how difficult it is for you to wait. Look at the nobles of the imperial court, the relatives of the royal family, they have nothing to do but drink fine wine, and yet you enjoy a high position of wealth and wealth despite your debauchery all day long. "These people are useless to the nation and the people, how can they be like this?"

"But Your Highness, what do you want?"

King Lu's eyes were filled with sincerity as he reached out and patted Gan Zhixuan's shoulder, "If you are willing to help me, from now on, honor and disgrace will be shared, and wealth will be shared. When that day comes, I will treat you as a brother!"
