Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon.

Chapter 302: Changes brought about by destiny, the concubine selection ceremony, and enriching the harem?
Qianyuan Hall.

A number of cabinet ministers, including Prime Minister Chen Ke, my grandfather Wang Hefu, former strategist Guo Youhuai, Shen Yuanxi and others all sat upright in the hall.

Lu Mingyuan sat high up in the seat, looking down at everyone. He said calmly:
"So, right now, the Ninth Prince is leaving the capital because of Xun Yu?"

Just half an hour ago, Chen Ke, on behalf of the cabinet, had informed him of everything that had happened in the capital during this period.

Among them were news about the remnants of rebellion in various places, as well as the actions of master and apprentice Xun Yu and Lu Yunhuang.

That's right.

Two masters and apprentices.

It was through Chen Ke that Lu Mingyuan learned that the great National Master of Southern Zhou had been hiding in the Palace of Prince Jiangling.

It was hidden for two full years.

In two years, there has been no trace at all. It is really hidden.

In addition, during the time when he was away from the capital, Lu Yunhuang launched a rebellion and took away most of the offerings from Wujian Pavilion.

I took the initiative to choose to leave the capital.

This surprised Lu Mingyuan.

He had already left a backup plan to deal with Xun Yu.

The rebellion in Wujian Pavilion was a small matter because he had expected it. After all, they were not his direct subordinates, and Luo Ying was not in Wujian Pavilion, so people's hearts were naturally unsettled.

He had already quietly undermined the power of Wujian Pavilion.

Lu Yunhuang took it away.

When Lu Mingyuan was in the Eastern Palace, he relied on Wujian Pavilion to some extent. It was normal, and the more help he could get, the better.

Since he ascended the throne, the role of Wujian Pavilion has become much smaller.

The status is also not as good as before.

As an emperor, he was in charge of the royal palace servants and the masters of the three academies, so the Wujian Pavilion was dispensable.

He was surprised.

Lu Yunhuang was actually willing to give up his current good opportunity to leave Beijing and chose to slip away.

This is not quite like Xun Yu's style.

Since Lu Yunhuang is Xun Yu's disciple, he will naturally inherit the lineage and covet the destiny of the Great Yan nation.

But now he gave up on his own initiative.

We can only conclude that it was Xun Yu who was behind this.

But why did Xun Yu take the initiative to leave the capital?

Lu Mingyuan was puzzled.

He had been on guard against Xun Yu's back-up plan, and for this purpose he even went so far as to find Wen Sheng and leave one of his clones in the Wenchang Pavilion in the imperial capital.

To be honest, it is not realistic to expect Wensheng to guard the capital personally.

The relationship between the two is not that deep yet.

Being able to leave behind a clone is already a great honor.

The original reason for setting up the clone was to serve as Chen Ke's protector.

As Chen Ke is at the eleventh realm, he actually no longer needs a protector. This reason is just a cover to save everyone's face.

But I didn’t expect that with Xun Yu’s ability, he would be willing to leave.

Even though he was the incarnation of Wensheng, he was not kept.

It's just a farce where everything goes smoothly.

"In my humble opinion, Xun Yu was afraid of your majesty's strength, so he chose to leave."

Wang Hefu spoke softly at this time.

"What Mr. Wang said makes sense."

Su Youhuai smiled and nodded in agreement.

"The Seven Kingdoms War has ended, and your majesty has obtained the Mandate of Heaven from the Golden Crow Kingdom. Today, Great Yan has established a firm foothold. Even if Xun Yu has great abilities, he cannot shake the fate of the country."

Lu Mingyuan shook his head and said disappointedly, "I thought Xun Yu would give me a big surprise, at least to cause some trouble, but I didn't expect him to become a stray dog ​​and run away in disgrace."

He seemed to remember something and asked:
"Do you already know about the destiny of the Golden Crow Nation?"

Lu Mingyuan was quite surprised that they all knew that he had obtained the Golden Crow's Destiny.

He came back in a hurry this time and had not yet told them the details of the Seven Kingdoms War, including the news that the Jinwu Kingdom was readmitted as a vassal state.

Now it seems that they all know.

Chen Ke explained: "The destiny of heaven is the origin of a country. Once blessed by heaven, the entire Da Yan will undergo new changes. The higher the cultivation level of the cultivator, the more obvious the feeling will be."

"For example, I have already entered the twelfth realm, all thanks to this strand of destiny and luck."

"The Prime Minister has become a sage?" Lu Mingyuan was quite shocked when he heard the news.

Look at the entire Middle-earth.

Perhaps the only person whose cultivation level can improve at the same speed as mine is Chen Ke.

In three years, he became a celestial being.

And didn’t Chen Ke also become a sage in just three years?
Of course, when Chen Ke was not famous, he was stuck in the second realm for more than ten years, basically the same as an ordinary person.

Since I attained enlightenment, every time I reach a higher level, it’s been three or four leaps.

First, he stepped into the seven realms in one night.

After his sudden enlightenment of the philosophy of mind, he was promoted to a great sage.

Less than a year passed.

You are already a saint.

Su Youhuai, Wang Hefu and others all looked envious when they heard this.

Chen Ke's progress in cultivation can be described as monstrous.

There is no other reason.

Lu and Wang's philosophy of mind is spreading throughout China at a very fast pace and is being accepted by more and more people.

When a doctrine becomes widely circulated, the originator of the doctrine will continue to improve his or her cultivation level.

It can be seen as an endless supply of incense.

If this continues, in less than ten years, there will probably be a stone statue of Chen Ke placed in the Confucian Temple.

This speed is terrifying.

"Not only the Prime Minister, but we have also made progress in our cultivation, but we have not broken through yet."

"In addition to the ministers in the court, the masters of the three academies, and some old cultivators who were originally at a bottleneck, they have all broken through. This is all thanks to your majesty's destiny. Da Yan is now qualified to compete for the next destiny."

Shen Yuanxi, who still had his goatee, bowed and reported.

After listening to this, Lu Mingyuan nodded slightly and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that just a ray of destiny could bring such an amazing effect."

"If all the Destiny were gathered in one country, how terrifying would the effect be?"

Before this, he had only heard about the role of destiny in ancient books.

Now I am truly experiencing the benefits of destiny.

Wang Hefu smiled and said, "The one who is destined by heaven should be powerful throughout the country and unify the four seas and eight wildernesses."

"Your Majesty can recall when Taizu first established the country."

"At that time, the destiny and luck were the most powerful and rich. The army of the wilderness and the army of the Holy Dark were all no match for our Great Flame. Wherever the Great Flame's army pointed, it was the king's land. Each of us ruled the world, and no one could compete with us."

Lu Mingyuan nodded.

No matter how small a country is, as long as it gathers all the destiny and luck, it can become a superpower.

So what if the monks are weak, so what if the national strength is declining?

I’ll carry them all up for you.

Various innate grades and fairy-level treasures are born, paradise is opened up, opportunities are everywhere, and even taking drugs can get you to the middle fifth grade. The effect is so strong.

"By the way, Your Majesty, you are leaving the capital this time, and there are a few important matters that need your decision."

Su Youhuai took out a memorial and prepared to finish speaking at once.

"what?"

"The first thing is to establish a crown prince."

"Your Majesty had already appointed a wife when he was in the Cold Palace and the Eastern Palace, but now, none of the women in the harem, including the Queen and Concubine Huo, are pregnant."

"So the six harems, including the court, decided to hold a concubine selection ceremony for His Majesty to enrich the harem."

"This way, we can pave the way for establishing a crown prince."

As Su Youhuai was talking, he took out another thick stack of documents from his sleeve.

Lu Mingyuan took the letter.

Spread it out and take a look.

There are so many names in it!

From date of birth to identity, family background, cultivation strength, etc., everything is included.

Lu Mingyuan's hand slipped and the paper rolled to the ground.

There was a "crash" sound.

This piece of paper looks small, but it actually traveled a full ten meters!
