I am the prince in the heavens

Chapter 227 Three years later
In the 13th year of Tianqi, three years have passed since entering the academy. During these three years, the world has remained the same as usual. The Tang Kingdom is still strong and prosperous, Xiling is still doing evil everywhere in the name of Haotian, and the Demon Sect is still lingering in the extreme northern wasteland.The legend of Eternal Night is still popular in the practice world.

Spring goes and autumn comes, cold comes and summer goes, it's just that there are a few more geniuses in this practice world.

There are a few more names in the heavenly book of Xiling Zhishouguan.

At the top of the Zhiming list, Liu Bai's name is still unshakable. It has not changed for more than ten years. As for the next few, they are all walking in the world of other unknown places.

As for the Dongxuan list, many young geniuses have emerged,

No. [-] on the Mysterious Cave List, Zhao Yun from Xiling Temple!
Second place on the Xuankong List, seven kills in Xuankong Temple!

The third place on the Mysterious Cave List!Tang Xiaotian, the Demon Sect of the Wasteland!
The fourth place on the Xuandong list, Zhishou Guanye Hongyu!

The fifth place on the Mysterious Cave List, King Jinglue of the Tang Dynasty!
Originally, these rankings were all above the heavenly book, and ordinary people had no way of knowing them, but in order to destroy the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the academy, Xiling chose to announce the rankings to the world.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the practice world. It turns out that Wang Jinglue, who claims to be invincible under his fate, is only ranked fifth, and the rankings from the first to the third seem to have suddenly appeared in the past few years. , except for the number one Zhao Yun, others rarely saw them make a move.

Especially the one named Tang Xiaotian, who has already been on the must-kill list of all major forces.

In order to destroy the Demon Sect, the Xiling Temple and the coalition forces of various countries spent a huge price to expel them to the extreme northern wilderness many years ago. The Demon Sect must not be allowed to revive.

In order to find out the bottom line of the Demon Sect, all major forces sent disciples to the wasteland one after another, but most of these people never returned. The cultivation base was directly sucked dry.

Tang Dynasty, capital city,
In the majestic imperial city, a young man was standing alone in front of the gate of the imperial palace.

"Stop, the palace is important, outsiders are not allowed to trespass!"

The young soldier outside the palace gate blocked the boy's way with a gun. The palace is an important place, and outsiders are naturally not allowed to enter. The boy didn't say anything, but an older soldier ran over immediately and gave the young soldier a slap in the face scold.

"What are you stopping? Didn't you see that it was His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

The older soldier showed a flattering smile and said respectfully:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Third Prince, he is a newcomer and not sensible, please don't blame him, Your Highness!"

The young soldier panicked when he heard the name of the third prince, and immediately moved out of the way. The young man didn't scold him, and after a slight nod, he walked straight into the palace.

After the boy left, the old soldier gave the young soldier another meal, and the young soldier said aggrievedly:
"How do I know he is the prince? I have only been here for less than half a year, and I haven't seen him once. How can there be a prince who doesn't live in the palace?"

It's no wonder that the young soldiers are ignorant. In the past three years, Li Yiyuan has been staying in the academy, that is, he will only enter the palace every festival or when the emperor summons him.

The last time I entered the palace was during the Chinese New Year half a year ago, so many people in the palace don't know this nominal eldest son, only occasionally hearing about this silly prince while chatting.

The young soldier said:

"Are you saying that the third prince is really stupid? I think it's quite normal? He treats people with gentleness and gentleness. If it was someone else, he would have scolded him a long time ago. This is different from what others say!"

The old soldier immediately covered his mouth and whispered:
"You're looking for death, you remember, but don't talk about the third prince in front of outsiders, if His Majesty hears about it, no one will be able to protect you!"

Naturally, the gossip of the soldiers did not fall through Li Huiyuan's ears, and they did not intend to pursue it. People's words are fearsome, and it is not uncommon for them to be pointed at wherever they go.

The young man went straight to the imperial study room, and the eunuch guarding the door immediately greeted him respectfully and said:

"Your Highness, His Majesty is reviewing the memorial, and let the old slave report one or two!"

Although his expression was respectful, his figure still stood in front of him.

"Step aside!"

The boy's voice was loud enough for the people inside to hear him clearly.

"Is it the third son? Let him in!"

Hearing this thick and powerful voice, the eunuch stepped aside, opened the door, and let the boy in!

"Are you here because of your sister Wang? It's no wonder that apart from her, there is nothing else you can care about. Father remembers that you haven't been in the palace for almost half a year. Here, you are really treated like this." Don’t you want to go down? If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have allowed you to enter the academy. Do you know what outsiders are saying about you now? Words have already reached Father Huang!”

It's been a long time since I saw him, and Tang Wang also complained for a while. Although he is an emperor, he still hopes to see his sons and daughters often.

Li Hunyuan bowed and said:

"Father makes atonement. My son has been staying in the academy recently. If father doesn't think it's normal, I'll just visit the palace more in the future. It's just that father is busy with state affairs every day, so I don't think he has any free time."

"Since a child is sensible, he has known that my Tang Dynasty is the most powerful, most enlightened, and freest country in the world! But why does such a country need to use marriage in exchange for peace?"

The king of Tang did not expect that Li Yuanyuan would ask such a question. He thought that his son would cry and beg him not to marry Li Yu to Shan Yu of the Golden Tent Royal Court. After all, Li Yu has always been his closest friend. people.

Li Huiyuan said again:

"I know that since ancient times, when it comes to marriage and the words of a matchmaker, parents should always consider the happiness of their children, right? In the bitter cold of the northern grasslands, sister Wang is afraid that she will suffer when she goes there."

Looking at Li Hunyuan, who was neither humble nor overbearing, Tang Wang was a little suspicious. Could it be that I had misjudged him before?Where has the humility and cowardice of the past gone?

"What do you know as a child? Although my Tang Dynasty is powerful, it is the enemy of the whole world. If you look at the Southern Jin Dynasty, Beiyan, Yuelun, and Xiling, which one of them can't wait to get rid of my Tang Dynasty? When a girl grows up, she always wants to marry, at least, she can still be the mother of a country after marrying!"

Princesses marrying far away have existed since ancient times, and it is nothing unusual in other dynasties!

"If your so-called peace requires sacrificing the happiness of your own daughter, then I would rather not have that kind of peace. Besides, can that really bring peace?"
