save the bachelors

Chapter 4707 Chapter 4710 [Plan to usurp the throne]

Upon hearing this, Jia Zheng immediately ordered people to open the central gate to welcome the four princes.

He and Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and others also changed into gorgeous clothes in order to welcome the four princes.

But when they arrived at the door, they saw that the four princes were blocked outside by the protective shield set up by Xiang Nan and could not get in at all.

Not to mention chopping with swords, even with cannons, there's no way you could make any difference.

"You damned beast, you are the one who caused all this trouble." Seeing this, Jia Zheng pointed at Xiang Nan and cursed, "Take off your mask now!"

Xiang Nan waved his hand, and in an instant, the protective shield was removed, allowing the four princes to enter the Jia Mansion.

Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others paid their respects according to the rules and etiquette, but Xiang Nan alone stood aside and did not salute.

"You ignorant evil creature, why don't you come and pay your respects to the four princes?" Jia Zheng scolded upon seeing this.

"It's not that I don't want to worship, it's that they can't bear it." Xiang Nan explained, "I am not only a deity, but also protected by dragon energy. If I worship them, they will be injured if not killed."

"You're talking nonsense." Jia Zheng scolded.

Seeing that he did not believe him, Xiang Nan stepped forward and lifted his robe to bow. However, he saw that the Prince of Dongping, the Prince of Nangan, the Prince of Xining and the Prince of Beijing all suddenly covered their heads and shouted that they had a headache.

"Forget it, forget it. Your Excellency is an immortal who has come to the mortal world. We mortals cannot resist his courtesy." The four princes hurriedly stopped him.

Xiang Nan had only lifted his robe, but the four of them already had splitting headaches. If they really knelt down, they would probably die on the spot. Seeing this, the four of them naturally did not dare to accept the gift.

Seeing that this was indeed the case, Jia Zheng had no choice but to let it go.

……

Afterwards, everyone came to the South Hall of the Jia Mansion to discuss matters.

"Brother Shi, we have come to your house on orders to get to the bottom of what happened last night." After sitting down, Prince Beijing Shuichen spoke.

He is Shui Rong's father and is still alive.

"This is a matter that really brings shame to our ancestors~" Jia Zheng covered his mouth and waved his hands, tears streaming down his face as he said, "I have done something sinful to bring about this evil."

Xiang Nan curled his lips when he saw this, and then said to the four princes, "In fact, the matter is very simple. I was originally a deity who descended to the mortal world. Because the opportunity has come, I remembered my past and restored all my magic power. I was just trying out my skills last night, and I didn't want to disturb the neighbors. I am really sorry."

"God?!" The four princes looked at each other in shock.

They had heard a lot about immortals, but they had never seen it in person. However, Xiang Nan's performance, such as calling the wind and rain, flying sand and rocks, riding the clouds and mist, driving thunder and lightning... these were all seen by them, and they were indeed immortal, so they had to believe it.

"The nephew's background is indeed extraordinary. I admire him. But I wonder what his intention is in coming to the mortal world?" the four princes asked again. This was also what the emperor was most concerned about.

Last night, the Bingmasi, Jinyiwei, Patrol Battalion, and City Patrol Censors were all disarmed by Xiang Nan, and this morning, the soldiers of the four major camps were blown away by a gust of wind.

With his ability, it would be easy for him to become the emperor. Therefore, the emperor was now worried and sent the four princes to find out the situation.

After all, these four kings and eight dukes have always been of the same blood, and the fact that the four kings took action at the same time is enough to show the emperor's importance to them.

"Nothing. I just want to go down to the mortal world to enjoy the gentle countryside, wealth and romance." Xiang Nan pouted.

"You are such a drunkard and a womanizer, you have no future." Jia Zheng cursed immediately after hearing this. "How dare you say such ambitions? You will be laughed at by all the princes."

"Since you think my ambition is too small, then I will change the dynasty and make a difference." Xiang Nan heard him say this and immediately said, "Go back and tell the old emperor to write an abdication edict as soon as possible and pass the throne to me..."

"Shut up, shut up, you rebellious son, are you trying to piss off your father to death?" Jia Zheng slammed the table and shouted. The four princes were also so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they were restless and felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Xiang Nan actually wanted to usurp the throne, which really scared them to death.

"Then what do you want me to do? If my ambition is small, you're not satisfied. If my ambition is big, you're still not satisfied." Xiang Nan pouted and said, "Forget it, can I stop talking?"

"Don't be anxious, brother, and don't be angry, nephew." The four princes waved their hands and advised.

"If my nephew just wants to enjoy the pleasures of a gentle and wealthy life, and the romance of his young lover, then it would be easy to deal with." Prince Shui Chen of Beijing County said, "I will report the truth to His Majesty, and His Majesty will make the final decision."

"Forget it." Xiang Nan nodded.

Then the four of them stood up and said goodbye.

Jia Zheng also gave Shui Chen a letter of apology he had written, asking him to present it to the emperor for his review.

……

"Look at the trouble you have caused~" After the four kings left, Jia Zheng pointed at Xiang Nan and cursed.

The four princes were so noble that they came to the Jia Mansion together under the imperial order, which showed that the emperor attached great importance to this matter. It was natural that the emperor was disturbed, which made him feel uneasy.

"The Jia family will be crowned as a prince and prime minister in a matter of seconds. This is a good thing that will bring honor to the family and revive its reputation. How can it be considered a disaster?" Xiang Nan pouted and said, "Master, don't worry. I will definitely protect the whole family."

"It is useless to say more now that things have come to this." Jia She also advised Jia Zheng, "Let's see how the emperor decides."

"The eldest master is right. Second master, don't be angry. It all depends on what the emperor decides." Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong also echoed.

Jia Zheng sighed deeply and tears began to fall again.

Xiang Nan knew that he had been corrupted by reading corrupt books, and was firmly bound by the "loyal ministers and filial sons" and "the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues" to the point that he had no room for flexibility.

Seeing that his son has now become an immortal and is powerful enough to change the dynasty, he is completely unable to accept it and still wants to be a loyal minister.

On the contrary, they are not as easy to accept the current situation as Jia She, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others who have always been bold and unruly.

However, Xiang Nan believed that Jia Zheng would adapt sooner or later.

Because Jia Zheng was also dissolute in poetry and drinking when he was young, the reason why he became so pedantic later was that after entering the officialdom, he had to be cautious in order to protect himself.

As the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" said, "These walls are interesting. When you first go to prison, you hate the high walls around you; slowly, you get used to living in it; eventually, you find yourself having to rely on it to survive. This is called institutionalization."

……

Xiang Nan then ignored everyone and returned to his room.

"Second Master~" Xiren, Qingwen, Sheyue, Bihen and other maids were all busy bowing.

Xiang Nan saw that their eyes were red and their faces were tired, obviously they had not slept all night, so he couldn't help but sigh, "It's hard for you. You didn't sleep all night because of me."

"What are you saying, Second Master? It's our duty." Xiren waved her hand and said.

"Forget it, everyone drink a cup to replenish your spirits. It's the elixir of life." Xiang Nan took out the holy grail and asked everyone to drink a cup.

Xiren, Qingwen and the others naturally did not dare to refuse. After taking the Holy Grail, they each drank a glass. As expected, after drinking it, they felt energetic and all the drowsiness and fatigue in their bodies disappeared, which surprised them.
