Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The betrothal ceremony also took place, and the wedding date was arranged.

Li Changqing and Luo Qingqing's wedding was set for the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, three months from now.

That day is auspicious for marriage; everything will go smoothly.

Since the wedding date was set, the Ministry of Justice Minister's residence has been living in constant fear.

Apart from Luo Qingqing, no one in their household had an easy life.

The incident stemmed from the exposure of Li Changqing's other marriage arrangements.

Although Li Changqing did not go, the princess went to the Duke of Qi's residence and the Marquis of Sanyang's residence.

The Marquis of Sanyang, whose strength and foundation ranked first among the noble families, ultimately won the opportunity to marry into the Prince of Qinghe.

Even the Princess Consort of Qin had to step forward to show respect.

Nan Caocao and Princess Changle, on behalf of Li Changqing, went on a long business trip to the Xiaoyao Marquis's residence in Jiangnan.

In addition, there are the Nangong family, the Cui family in the north, and the Wang family in the south.

He had three wives and four concubines, leaving none behind.

After the betrothal is completed, as for when to set the wedding date?

Li Changqing still needs to accept the reward and then personally go to negotiate.

After all, apart from Consort Qi, the other candidates have not yet been determined.

Li Changqing had a strong desire to seek the opinions of the individuals he was to be married into.

This is, after all, related to their entire lives.

Although marrying him would mean becoming a shareholder in the World Society and one of the most powerful people in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

But not everyone loves power and money; perhaps someone already has a suitor they admire.

Li Changqing didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

The Ministry of Justice never dreamed that they would be able to break through such a group of powerful families and seize the position of Princess Consort of Qinghe.

Their first reaction was not surprise, but terror.

Even if these families did not actively cause trouble for the Ministry of Justice.

Their allies and their subordinates also made many sarcastic remarks and tried to trip them up.

What kind of status does the Ministry of Justice have? How dare they ride roughshod over them?

Wang Guodong instructed his family to keep a low profile, very low profile, and even more low profile from now on.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

Now that things have come to this, all they can do is wait for Luo Qingqing to truly marry into the Qinghe Prince's Mansion and secure her position as the Princess Consort.

There was no other way to go.

Fortunately, it's only been three months. If those people still dare to act like this after three months, then they won't just be slapping the face of the Minister's Mansion, but also the face of the Princess of Qinghe.

The Prince of Qinghe would never stand idly by.

Originally, this was nothing serious. If the Minister's Mansion kept a low profile, it would have passed.

Unexpectedly, a month passed.

Emperor Li Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly announced an imperial edict during the grand court assembly.

"I am unwell, old and senile, and have decided to abdicate in favor of a worthy successor."

To put it bluntly, the old man wants to abdicate.

The forces of the Prince of Qin's faction and the forces of the Crown Prince's faction went crazy, submitting memorials to express their stance.

The other three princes are also forming alliances, and things have already come to this point; it's absolutely impossible to get them to back down.

No matter how slim the chances, they are doing their best to fight for it.

Li Zheng looked at the folded paper and hesitated for a long time, but did not give a definite answer.

The two sides argued for three days in a row, but no winner was decided.

Most people believed that the Qin Prince's Mansion had the upper hand.

Unexpectedly, it has come to this point; the Crown Prince's mansion's resources are equally astonishing.

The Crown Prince received just as much support in the court as the King of Qin.

The other three princes were even more impressive.

They each won over many court officials, and after forming alliances, most of their attacks were directed at the Prince of Qin's residence.

For a time, the Qin Prince's Mansion did not have much of an advantage.

Five days later, Emperor Li Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to have had enough of the quarrels, and he issued a second decree.

"Prince Li Changqing of Qinghe, in the battle of Beimo City, anticipated the enemy's moves and recruited talented individuals from the martial arts world to protect the people and the region. His subordinates fought against half-step supreme beings and directly confronted and entangled supreme beings, making invaluable contributions."

"His meritorious service deserves a generous reward."

"He is granted the title of Prince and enjoys the privileges of a seven-pearl rank."

"He was granted Yongzhou as his fiefdom and was enfeoffed as the Prince of Yong."

Prince Li Changqing of Qinghe suddenly became the fifth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

His title was exactly the same as his father's.

Not to mention that in all the years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, nothing so absurd has ever happened.

Even looking at the whole world, I have never heard of anyone saying that the old emperor was still alive.

What is the situation where a biological father and his biological son hold the same noble title?

Those court officials who originally supported the Crown Prince and the other three princes, who wanted to fight Prince Qin to the death.

He immediately fell silent.

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor specially promoted Li Changqing, the Prince of Qinghe, to the rank of Prince Yong.

What exactly does he mean?

Does this mean that the Emperor of Great Zhou has made up his mind to pass the throne to the Prince of Qin?

Overnight, the King of Qin's voice drowned out that of the Crown Prince and the other three princes.

It is said that the Crown Prince did not sleep all night, and several strands of his temples turned white.

Needless to say, the other princes' eyes turned red.

Even in the imperial court, they did not complain at all.

As you can imagine, once they returned to their respective palaces, they would drown their sorrows in alcohol and spout wild and unrestrained words.

If it were them, they would probably feel indignant too.

Having a competitor like the King of Qin is enough of a headache.

Then, Li Changqing suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He was a generation younger than them, yet now he held the same title of prince as them.

The key issue is that you still can't offer any suggestions.

If it were just the battle in Beimo City, they could still raise questions.

Is His Majesty's bestowal of honors excessive?

In a massive battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, even if the credit wasn't solely Li Changqing's, it wouldn't warrant being granted the title of king.

However, Chen Changfeng, one of Li Changqing's subordinates, directly confronted a half-step supreme being.

Even when facing the blood-red statue, he could still manage to entangle it for a while by relying on the golden dragon beneath him.

This achievement is immense.

Given Li Changqing's status as a member of the royal family, it was only natural that he would be granted the title of prince based on such merit.

It's no use in them being envious; if they're so capable, they should try to achieve the same merit. I'm sure the Emperor of Great Zhou will be generous and give them the same treatment.

The struggle for the throne continues, and due to Li Changqing's strong rise, the voices calling for the Prince of Qin are growing louder.

When most people believed that Li Yuanhao would become the next emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The situation has changed again.

A courtier submitted a memorial, saying that since His Majesty values ​​Prince Yong, he intends for Prince Yong to inherit the throne in the future.

It would be better to just go straight to the throne and pass it on to Prince Yong.

When King Li Yuanhao of Qin heard this proclamation, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He never dreamed that one day his eldest son would compete with him for the throne.

Just as Li Yuanhao was wondering whether he should go with the flow?

Li Zheng agreed on the spot.

"Your words are reasonable, my lord. Let it be so. The abdication ceremony will be held in seven days. I will abdicate in favor of Prince Yong. Court adjourned!"

The entire court was dumbfounded.
