In the parlor, Zhang Tie gazed at Fang Qingming who bowed deeply towards the ground with a glassy-eyed look; however, he admired Fang Qingming inside, 'What a great persuasion ability of Crown Prince Changying!'
Fang Qingming knew what Zhang Tie wanted to do in Xuanyuan Hill. Therefore, he came straight to the point as he almost said what was in his mind at the beginning.
"Mr. Fang, please get up!" Zhang Tie said as he walked to the main seat and sat down, "Did Empress Shaoyi and Mrs. Xiao ask Mr. Fang to come here? Do you think that I want Xuanyuan Zhu to be the new emperor by having him stay with me today?"
Empress Shaoyi was the birth mother of Crown Prince Changying. Although Zhang Tie had not met her, he was told that she was a powerful figure in the imperial palace. After meeting Mrs. Xiao, Zhang Tie knew that Mrs. Xiao couldn't be matched by common women either.
'Now, it's widely spread across Xuanyuan Hill that I'm going to replace the imperial households. The entire imperial households are flurried, which could be seen from the three princes who came here to welcome me today. Such a grand reception is rare for imperial households. It's unusual for imperial households. Behind this unusual reception, the imperial households of Taixia Country might be afraid of me and worry about my ambition. However, the imperial households of Taixia Country couldn't solve this problem. Because the greater part of Taixia Country was on my side; especially those major clans in the military and local regions. The imperial households could barely play any tricks on me. Additionally, I'm not afraid of them. The only thing that the imperial households of Taixia Country could be a bit confident about was that sage-level knight who never left the imperial palace.' As for the branch of Crown Prince Changying, after Crown Prince Changying died and Meng Shidao "joined another wise emperor", its position might even be lower than that of the three princes who came here to welcome Zhang Tie today. Given the seniority and cultivation progress of the three princes, Xuanyuan Yunfei and his brothers and sisters were already much more powerful than them.
Actually, before Zhang Tie returned to Taixia Country, Xuanyuan Lie, the ninth prince, was about to ascend to the throne. In this process, the branch of Crown Prince Changying had been completely marginalized. If Zhang Tie didn't come back, the last obstacle for Xuanyuan Lie to ascend to the throne might have been cleared away after the three major sects suppressed Jinwu Palace.
Given the stratagem, the branch of Crown Prince Changying would benefit the most after Xuanyuan Zhu became the new emperor, followed by the entire imperial households. Finally, Zhang Tie and Jinwu Palace.
Fang Qingming had already stood up and sat on the guest's seat calmly.
"Of course, Empress Shaoyi and Mrs. Xiao hope that the descendant of Crown Prince could rule Xuanyuan Hill. It's human nature!" Although Xuanyuan Zhu is the direct grandson of Crown Prince, he has inherited a part of your powerful bloodline since he was young. Therefore, his cultivation aptitude definitely ranks first among the descendants of Crown Prince. As long as he could cultivate Xuanyuan God Sutra in 2 years, he would have a limitless potential. What's more, as long as Xuanyuan Zhu could gain your support, nobody else across the imperial households would be qualified to compete with him. By then, it would be a piece of cake for him to become the new emperor of Taixia Country. Taixia Country has been without a leader for too long, which has caused many problems. Even the third prince and the ninth prince have been involved in this. Therefore, Imperial Alliance could make waves in Taixia Country. The entire country is in urgent need of an emperor to maintain the stability of this country, even though this emperor is only nominal for the time being! "
"However, without your support, nobody could sit on that throne. Of course, you could take that throne yourself; however, if you take that throne, the turbulence across Taixia Country would never come to an end in a short period. When you pacify the entire country by force and have the imperial households be willing to hand over the throne to you, how many years would it take? How many people in Taixia Country would suffer? I know that Emperor Xuanyuan is always open-minded and compassionate. You could never see hundreds of millions of people in Taixia Country suffer more hardships because of you. Additionally, it's still uncertain whether Emperor Xuanyuan could come back in the future. In this case, it's the best choice for Jinwu Palace to ally with the imperial households of Taixia Country completely!"
"Xuanyuan Zhu is a wise emperor. As his teacher, I'm clear about that. Besides the bloodline of His Majesty, he also has your bloodline. He's also your grandson. If he ascends to the throne with your help after you regent, he would never abandon his bloodline in the future. Is there any difference between this and you ascending to that throne and ruling the universe? It's just a name. When Xuanyuan Zhu really promotes to a knight and officially ascends to the throne, the holy war might have already come to an end! "
Fang Qingming explained all the reasons that he could. As a result, Zhang Tie became speechless. Even though Zhang Tie had already made a decision, he didn't want to express his stand so fast. At least, Zhang Tie wanted to communicate with the three chancellors and nine ministers and his father-in-law Lord Guangnan. It was necessary for him to consult with these moguls. This was of great importance to the stability of Taixia Country in the future.
Fang Qingming was the first one who visited Qianji Manor. After that, more and more people visited Qianji Manor. Through such exchanges, Zhang Tie gradually reached a consensus with all the other officials and local major clans in Taixia Country except for Meng Shidao the Premier of the Country.
The major event was settled!
…
On February 14, the 933rd year of Black Iron Calendar, namely one week after Zhang Tie came to Xuanyuan Hill, Xuanyuan Hill had been in an uproar completely. Because two pieces of news had spread over Taixia Country and all the continents and subcontinents through Xuanyuan Hill. The shock caused by the two pieces of news almost covered the overall situation facing the holy war in the west of Taixia Country.
The first piece of news was that Xuanyuan Zhu, the 8-year-old grandson of Crown Prince Changying, officially ascended to the throne and became the nominal supreme ruler of Taixia Country. After Emperor Xuanyuan disappeared so many years ago, Taixia Country finally had another emperor.
The second piece of news was that Zhang Tie, Monarch Qianji, was conferred as Lord Xuanyuan, the head of the six lords in Taixia Country.
Zhang Tie didn't confer the title of Lord Xuanyuan by dropping his blood on the Heavens Fortune List. However, nobody across Taixia Country, even among humans; because Zhang Tie's meritorious service could match that of any other lord who had been conferred the title of Lord Xuanyuan …
Therefore, Zhang Tie became the only person who could gain the highest title of lord among humans without dropping his blood on the Heavens Fortune List in the three holy wars.
