Joy of Life: Grandmaster of the Fan Family

The will of the people is undoubtedly a very strange thing.

Before Xiao Ruogu's life story was revealed, people only knew that his mother was the little emperor Zhan Doudou.

The people of Northern Qi all supported it.

They knew that the little prince was a child prodigy. He had been able to speak at a very young age. Now, at the age of less than three, he could communicate fluently with others.

It is said that he has a good talent for martial arts.

This was undoubtedly a peerless genius who was both civil and military, and such a genius was their crown prince and the future monarch of Northern Qi.

The people of Northern Qi, including many of its noble officials, were very supportive.

When talking about the little prince, he was beaming with joy and talked about it with great relish.

But when they learned the identity of the little prince's father, their attitude inevitably changed.

Could the little prince's father be anyone?

Even if he is just a scholar, or even just an ordinary nobleman.

The people of Northern Qi would not feel disgusted.

They will continue to support the little prince and hope he will become the emperor of Northern Qi in the future.

But now, someone told them about the little prince whom they respected and supported.

It turns out to be the bloodline of the Daqing nobles?
Even that bloodline is equally priceless. It has now destroyed Daqing and established a new empire.

The people of Northern Qi still felt unhappy.

You know, in their minds, the relationship between them and Daqing has always been hostile.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is a deep blood feud.

Especially with Fan Bin from the Fan family.

The people of Northern Qi have good memories and they still remember clearly what happened three years ago.

It was the Daqing God of War, now the king of the Huaxia Empire, who led the Daqing cavalry and captured one and a half states of their territory in one fell swoop.

If it is not the opponent, stop attacking.

If things go wrong, the entire Northern Qi will be devastated and all lives will be lost.

Why should they support the son of such a man?
If the young emperor of Northern Qi spoke, the people of Northern Qi would be willing to admit it even if they knew that Zhan Doudou was lying.

But the little emperor didn't do that.

What exactly is the plan in the mind of this empress who has regained her female body?
The people of Northern Qi could probably guess it pretty close.

"Don't agree to that!"

"We and Qing Gou will never coexist!!"

When it first started, it was just some scholarly spirit.

They spoke passionately in restaurants and teahouses.

Later, when the news spread throughout Northern Qi, the eyes of those who had other thoughts suddenly lit up.

They understood that this was an opportunity.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime, pie-in-the-sky opportunity.

Given the current situation, if they miss this opportunity, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to find a similar opportunity again.

"Let's make a concerted effort to drive that hen who crows at dawn off the throne!"

"We must not let a woman like this destroy the foundation of our Great Qi that has lasted for decades."

There were undercurrents throughout Northern Qi.

Zhan Doudou, who received the news, did not hold a grand court meeting.

Even though the majority of people in the court today are her supporters, the rest are just fence-sitters.

No one would oppose her in court.

But the problem is that in such a court, Zhan Doudou couldn't find a solution to the problem.

She was surrounded by flatterers, and no one dared to tell her the truth.

Zhan Doudou could imagine what those guys would say when they gathered around him.

What destiny, what nothing but a bunch of clowns.

Zhan Doudou didn't like to hear it.

Zhan Doudou, who has been emperor for many years, prefers methods that can directly solve problems and people who can directly solve problems.

She summoned the two heads of the Jinyiwei.

Who can give her advice at this time?

Without a doubt, it is the two people in front of us.

No one else could have such ability to do such a thing.

"how?"

When Shen Zhong and Sean were called, they had already guessed what the little emperor wanted to see them for.
Rumors are spreading...

The two of them are not completely helpless in the current situation.

The key point is that they don’t know what the little emperor and the adult behind the scenes think about this issue?
So they are not sure whether the methods they proposed can be recognized?

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Zhan Doudou curled the corners of his mouth.

Of course she knew the concerns of the two people in front of her.

"Speak freely, there is nothing I cannot say."

After hearing the little emperor's statement, Shen Zhong spoke.

"Your Majesty can issue an order to arrest all those who spread the rumor secretly. As long as a few are arrested, the rumor will be dispelled."

In this situation, the quickest solution is to kill one person to warn the rest.

Then announce that it is a rumor.

Shen Zhong knew that this rumor might have been spread by the little emperor in front of him.

But he still wants to try...

After all, given the current situation, he doesn't know what the little emperor is going to do?
He can only stand in his current position and offer the most reliable suggestions.

Sean glanced at Shenzhong thoughtfully.

To be honest, the two have been dealing with each other for quite a while, a full two or three years.

Originally, Sean didn't take this rising star seriously. But after spending two or three years with him, Sean felt more and more that this Jinyiwei commander was indeed quite capable.

It depends on the suggestion made by others.

It may look silly on the surface, but it can actually be used for both offense and defense.

Once the little emperor's attitude is tested, I believe he will soon have a different story to say.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Doudou remained silent.

She turned to look at Sean and continued to ask.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think?"

Although in terms of official position, Sean is Shen Zhong's deputy.

But the little emperor Zhan Doudou never seemed to think so.

She always treated Sean with the respect of a younger generation for an elder. As an emperor of a country, even if the one in front of her was just a female emperor.

Her breadth of mind and magnanimity are unmatched by ordinary people.

Since Shen Zhong had already turned a blind eye, when the matter came to Sean, he naturally couldn't follow suit.

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to resolve this dispute. The key is to see what result Your Majesty wants."

Sean asked back.

When the little emperor heard Sean's question, his eyes flashed.

I cursed the old fox in my heart.

With the intelligence of these two people, Zhan Doudou didn't believe that they couldn't guess it?
Not to mention, although these two were ministers of Northern Qi, they were truly loyal to someone else.

Things have come to this point, and Zhan Doudou doesn't believe that they haven't guessed the inside story.

"Ruogu is the son of that person. He will also be the future ruler of the world. Let's see how to solve the current difficult situation."

Zhan Doudou didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the shocking fact.

Although they had already guessed it, the expressions on Sean and Shen Zhong's faces still froze for a moment.

From their perspective, they obviously didn't expect Zhan Doudou to be so direct?
"Just crush them with absolute strength!"

Shen Zhong closed his eyes, thought seriously for a while, and then spoke.

Obviously from his perspective, he thinks this is the most ideal outcome.

The current situation doesn't seem to cause any major trouble.

But it is precisely this kind of situation that is the most difficult to resolve. It is not difficult to manipulate and twist the human heart.

But the hatred between the two countries was too deep!

To the point that now, both sides have reached the point of being irreconcilable.

How easy is it to resolve the hatred between them?
At least, Shen Zhong couldn't think of it for a moment.

The people of Northern Qi simply accepted the fact that the little prince had the blood of the Fan family.

It’s not that easy.

Not to mention that in the future, we will have to submit to the Chinese Empire.

To them, what's the difference between that and surrendering to Daqing?
Thinking of the uncles, brothers, and loved ones who died around me...

How can they accept it?

The common ruler of the world may become a natural outcome in the future.

At this stage, it is not as difficult as climbing to the sky, but it is not much different.

Sean, who was standing aside, frowned slightly and said nothing.

Sean couldn't think of any good way to resolve the conflict between the two countries except to suppress it with force.

"Is there really no solution?"

"The unification of the world is acceptable to both Southern Qing and Northern Qi. But they cannot accept the other party taking the lead. Not to mention Northern Qi, even Southern Qing may not be able to accept a foreign prince as emperor. Even if this prince has the blood of their Daqing God of War..."

The people of the Daqing Empire should be referred to as the people of the Huaxia Empire.

They all could accept that Fan Bin's son would be the common ruler of the world in the future.

But they obviously couldn't accept that this person was the crown prince of Northern Qi.

The contradictions between the two countries are too serious.

“Is there nothing human can do?”

Zhan Doudou murmured.

She undoubtedly trusted the analysis of the two people in front of her.

It's not impossible to make everyone accept it.

Just like what Zhan Doudou did to those ministers who rebelled against him before, just lock them up or kill them.

After the blood has flowed like a river, the remaining people will naturally figure it out.

Although it is cruel, it is the truth.

Was there any change of dynasty in history that did not go through such a process?
They've been through it all.

The only difference is how much...

Zhan Doudou understood this, but now that she had the situation firmly in her control, she was not very willing to do so.

Perhaps this is the emperor's responsibility.

People can sacrifice, but they cannot sacrifice in vain.

In the current situation they are in control of, they can clearly avoid the tragedy of rivers of blood, so how can they just watch the tragedy happen?
"Since neither of you two can do anything, why don't we leave it to God?"

"Ok?"

Hear what Zhan Doudou said.

The expressions on Sean and Shen Zhong's faces changed at the same time.

They looked up in surprise and looked at the little emperor in front of them.

The expression on Zhan Doudou's face was so confident that they couldn't help but have an illusion.

Has the person in front of me already thought of a solution?
Soon they were shaking their heads in their hearts.

After spending some time together, they certainly knew that the little emperor was not incompetent.

But overall, the various methods used by the little emperor to fight Doudou were not completely beyond their understanding.

They didn't think the little emperor really had that ability.

But Zhan Doudou smiled too confidently.

This made them involuntarily doubt their previous judgment.

Will there be any situation that they have not expected before?

Then the two of them quickly thought of one person.

Although Zhan Doudou himself certainly does not have such means.

But if it was that person, the situation would be completely different.

Who knows, he might be able to do it.

"Tomorrow at noon, all officials will offer sacrifices together, and the people of Kyoto are allowed to watch the ceremony. I want to enthrone the prince!"

The little prince Ruogu was given the title of prince when he was just born.

But in fact, it has not been officially canonized.

He was still young before, and even now, little Ruogu is just a three-year-old child.

It is still a long way to go before he can be crowned the crown prince.

But before that, the little emperor only had this one son.

Naturally, everyone accepted the identity of Prince Ruogu.

Now, Zhan Doudou has to face up to the canonization.

That's completely different!

This requires reporting to heaven and earth, offering sacrifices to the temple, and offering sacrifices to ancestors...

Before this, as long as Zhan Doudou had other heirs, it would only take a word to replace the crown prince.

But things were different after that.

After this enthronement ceremony, even if Zhan Doudou wants to replace the crown prince, he will need to consider many things.

This wasn't even something he could decide on his own.

"There are many people who are trying to take advantage of the situation, waiting for their chance..."

Shen Zhong raised his head and glanced at Zhan Doudou, then spoke.

Although the Jinyiwei are very capable.

But it takes time for them to investigate and organize guards.

Someone wanted to stir up trouble, and with such a hasty decision, it was inevitable that the Jinyiwei would be negligent.

Maybe someone with ulterior motives will find an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Shen Zhong wanted to use this to advise Zhan Doudou, hoping that he could be more cautious.

"I have made up my mind!"

Seeing Zhan Doudou's firm attitude, Shen Zhong and Sean didn't say anything more.

But they were even more certain in their hearts that the little emperor in front of them must have already contacted that person.

Moreover, both parties have already decided to play a big game.

I just hope those guys can open their eyes, otherwise, they will be caught in one fell swoop.

Time passed unknowingly and a day passed.

The enthronement ceremony was obviously not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but had been prepared long ago.

All kinds of regulations are available.

Even the ceremonial dress for the coronation was prepared in advance.

Although little Ruogu is only three years old, he already looks like a young boy.

He walked in front of the team, following behind Zhan Doudou, looking quite majestic.

Originally, the two leaders of the Jinyiwei were worried that someone would talk nonsense during this process.

But actually.

When everyone actually arrived at the altar for offering sacrifices to the sky, they had no intention of talking about those messy things.

At this time, all people's attention was focused on the rooftop.

There was a huge object floating there, casting the entire rooftop in shadow.

"Oh my God, what is that?"

"God, temple!!!"
