LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
597..MANY INVITATIONS.
After chatting for longer, the Crown Prince stood up and bowed before leaving.
TAN WEN HONG was really happy to send him away for a change, beaming from ear to ear.
He was filled with arrogance thinking that the Crown Prince had yet to find out that the fatty was selling it.
However, TAN WEN HONG thought that receiving such a large gift for free was a bit awkward.
It's not like it's his fault. It's a lard tub that's to blame for ruining his brother's expert scheme.
While TAN WEN HONG escapes. As for serving Tianyu, it was no problem. Who said who belonged to Tianyu's future?
Chuckling inwardly, TAN WEN HONG watched the princes leave, then returned inside feeling fresher than before.
As for the two brothers, they did not get any more than a stick throw when the Crown Prince cupped his hands together,
“Third sister, thank you for coming with me. Otherwise, it would be impossible to befriend the arrogant Steward TAN WEN HONG even if I came as Crown Prince.”
“Do not like that, brother. We're close, you and me. Of course I'll help you!” The fatty slapped his flabby chest, shouting out his bromance.
But in the next second, his beaded eyes turned sly, “Sister, aren't you always against us approaching seven houses? Then why..”
The Crown Prince sighed, “You must have thought that I defied the imperial father's decision by doing this, right?
Merely, sigh, the imperial father had been down in his years and his handling in the court fell shorter from one year to the next.
With the TAN clan and Regent Estate like fire and water, it would be very easy for Tianyu to fall into chaos
and broke the heart of poor imperial father out of anxiety.
As his son, I had to arrange everything properly. That is why I want to approach the TAN clan that is currently
up the leaves so that I can mediate in the most terrible moments and bring balance to Tianyu! ”
“Oh, big brother is very considerate towards people and dad. I'm amazed!” Yuwen Cong cupped his hands together, putting on an adoring face,
“Sister, just say it and I will fulfill any request you may have with my full capabilities.
This is the only thing I can do to share the burden that you and dad carry.”
Nodding, the Crown Prince patted him on the shoulder, “Third brother, I thank you for your goodwill. If only our second brother had a fraction of
your kindness, I'm sure our brothers can do it. If we work as one, nothing is impossible. Embarrassing.”.
“Male brother, relax. Second brother will one day understand your hard work!” The fatty gripped the Crown Prince's hand, watching him with a heavy gaze.
Crown Prince smiled faintly, “I can only hope ..”
“Third brother, I still have documents for father to deal with in the Imperial Palace. I'll go.” The Crown Prince glanced at the sky and cupped his hands.
Fatty replied kindly, “Thank you for your hard work, big brother. Goodbye to.”
Then he took his men and went the other way.
Watching the meatballs swaying in the beautiful sunlight, the Crown Prince smiled.
But as soon as the pile of flesh changed, his face sank, his eyes exploding with disdain and hatred like never before.
“That damn bitch talks too much!”
He took a clean handkerchief and wiped his hands that had been gripped with fat then threw them away.
Then he left with his own details, heading into the dark alley where three people were waiting.
“Greetings, Prime Minister Zhuge.” The Crown Prince bowed.
They are Prime Minister Zhuge Changfeng and his two elders.
Zhuge Changfeng smiled, “Your Majesty, with your confident gaze, I'm sure the plan worked.”
“He thought, however TAN WEN HONG was a very stupid person, making me angry but there is no place to vent!” The Crown Prince grimaced.
Zhuge Changfeng laughed, “Your Majesty, please hold on. TAN WEN HONG is an arrogant young man who has yet to experience true failure.
Even Leng Wuchang suffered at his hands. His self-worth is assured. Such are the people with talent.”
“But will this arrogant man one day take your position and become Prime Minister?” The Crown Prince frowned in disbelief.
Zhuge Changfeng nodded, “You heard it for yourself, how the emperor bestowed him the title of Best Servant Under Heaven.
And what does that mean? Become Prime Minister! His Majesty is paving the way, a capable official for the new emperor!
TAN WEN HONG may be unorthodox and rude in his methods, unlike mine,
we are the same in one aspect. We are more than qualified to be Prime Minister!”
“I understand, Prime Minister Zhuge!”
The Crown Prince nodded, but the dark clouds still covered his face, “But I can't stand TAN WEN HONG's attitude.
Thinking about how I would deal with him day after day after I was crowned, it sucks! “
Zhuge Changfeng looked at him with ridicule, “Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this for now. Maybe... you won't even get a chance.”
The Crown Prince trembled like an arrow as he cried, “What do you mean?”
“No. Just guessing about His Majesty's thoughts, ha-ha-ha.”.
This is twice as much for the office. Some will be taken down, others promoted, all to win the hearts of the people.
This time, however, His Majesty has decided to forget this and establish the next candidate for Prime Minister. Now why do you think he did that? ”
The Crown Prince shook his head in confusion.
Zhuge Changfeng continued with a hidden contemptuous gaze, “If officials are chosen before the ruler, this can only mean one thing.
His Majesty has not yet decided which of you three will be his successors.
In other words, anyone would do it with TAN WEN HONG by his side.
Your Highness, don't put too much of your Crown Prince's status, when it doesn't provide any advantage in the power struggle. Ha ha ha..”
“B-how can this be..” The Crown Prince shuddered back two steps.
“Now do you understand why I suggest to approach
TAN WEN HONG'S?
The official decided on the emperor. Since one of you three will do it, everything will depend on who is the most suitable
with this stalled future grand chancellor. It will decide which of you is destined to be emperor!”
Zhuge Changfeng sneered at the bewildered Crown Prince, “If His Majesty and TAN WEN HONG can't really
rubbing shoulders, you should give up on the throne. Being a regent is also not too bad.”.
“No!”
Crown Prince shouted defiantly, “Prime Minister Zhuge, thank you for telling me. Now I know what I should do.”
He took his men and went away in the fog. Sweat had seeped into his back and a golden tunic stuck to his body.
Zhuge Changfeng was delighted to see that shocking figure leave.
The black-haired elder spoke, “Master, did you really help him ascend the throne?”
“Help? Huh, I'm not so bored to get a dowry for her!”
Zhuge Changfeng sneered, “I only highly praise the TAN clan for this tripartite stalemate plan, ,
make the tigers tear each other apart while he reaps his profit.
But does he think I'll just shut up and let him do that?
I will ensnare the imperial family into this mess and mess up the board in such a way that he will not be able to distinguish left from right.
Ha-ha-ha, since she wants chaos, I will help her and awaken hell.
We just have to wait and see who will be the true reaper in the end!”
Both elders praised, “The Prime Minister was brilliant!”
Meanwhile, TAN WEN HONG returned to the waiting room, avoiding Long Yifey and his companions.
Long Yifey sighed at the departing princes, “The Crown Prince, a man with such perfect behavior, is looking for a faction as well. The imperial capital is not as calm as the surface.”
The others nodded.
These people all had decades behind them and could sniff out any undercurrents.
TAN WEN HONG also agreed, but did not worry. With the TAN clan growing day by day and on initiative, who could rule them as they continued to change?
“Steward TAN WEN HONG, someone came by invitation!” Captain Pang ran.
TAN WEN HONG glanced at him and upon seeing the name of the second prince, he laughed, “I just sent the Crown Prince, and the second one came right after!”
“The second prince is filled with wild ambitions, always discussing with the houses in secret. But everyone looked down on him,
until recently, when he was entangled with the Valley of Hell. To compete for the throne, I suppose. ”
Grandma urged, “Steward TAN WEN HONG, you should avoid the affairs of the imperial family, lest you cause trouble.”
“Huh, I'm not afraid of trouble. But what did this second prince think, so that he could ask me to visit him? Even the Crown Prince actually visited you!”
TAN WEN HONG tore up the invitation in disdain.
Others flushed in shame.
Steward Zhuo has steel nerves. Come to such a decision for such a reason.
While they weigh the pros and cons, and how to assuage the man's rejection, the,
TAN WEN HONG, with his horse as tall as ever, never fails to see the part of a selfish boss.
“Oh?”
Checking second invitation, TAN WEN HONG reading, “Parok!”
Third pillar, Demigod Yun Xuanji!
Squinting his eyes, TAN WEN HONG mused.
Now that he thought about it, he had yet to visit this mysterious thousand-year-old clan. And here he knocks on the door…
