This time, all the officials in the court were speechless!
If the emperor wanted to forcefully rescind a decree, they would not be able to stop him. Not to mention that the emperor had actually said that he would use his own private stash to do this.
Their hearts were filled with confusion, and some of the officials even thought that the emperor was a little crazy. Otherwise, why would he believe in something as illusory as cultivation?
Although there were all sorts of legends about cultivation, immortalhood, and longevity in this world... But in reality, almost no one would believe such legends to be true. Because such things were too far beyond people's understanding. They could not understand it at all.
As for Prince Xia Jing, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He felt that this was an unlucky year.
First, his son had been turned into a eunuch with a kick, and then a series of accidents. A youth that could not have piqued his interest at all had become an incomparably terrifying existence overnight.
His authority... had even been lost to this youth.
"Cultivation Academy? I think he's sick in the head. Is he going crazy? "Xia Jing sat in his study, his face ashen, his eyes shining with a cold light. Then he instructed, "Immediately contact the princes. What for? No, you don't have to do anything. You just have to keep talking about the Cultivation Academy in front of them. "
In the room, a grey-robed man nodded and left silently.
Xia Jing was left alone in his chair. After a long while, he finally regained his composure and muttered to himself, "He's gone crazy from thinking about immortalhood. What Cultivation Academy? Your sons are young and strong. They don't want to become immortals, they just want to be emperors! "
The entire Yan Huang City was flooded with news about the Cultivation Academy.
People had yet to recover from the various rumors from before, but in the end, new news came.
But this time, it was even more sensational!
It was even more unbelievable.
"Cultivation Academy? What is that? Cultivation? Hahaha, isn't that just a legend? "
"Why would the emperor issue such a decree? Isn't this a waste of manpower and money? What benefit is there for the country and the people by doing such meaningless things? What? His own secret stash? Hahahahaha, stop joking around. What's the difference between the money in the national treasury and the Emperor's private stash? Eh … What are you doing? I'm warning you, I'm a man of status … "
"His Majesty is really capricious. Since he can do such a thing, he shouldn't be afraid of others talking about it. He even arrested people. Hey, hey, hey, I didn't say anything. What do you want? "
This time, it was completely different from the previous times. In the past, the people of Yan Huang City would not have been a problem if they had made a few comments about the state affairs, or even a few words about the emperor. But this time, anyone who dared to question the Emperor's decision, once heard or reported, would be punished. They would be arrested immediately.
Therefore, the entire Yan Huang City had gone from a state of chaos to a state of apprehension within a few short days.
Hardly anyone dared to talk about it anymore.
However, an imperial edict was soon sent down.
"The Crown Prince, Xia Ying, disregards the feelings of the people and is tyrannical in his actions. He has created a terrifying atmosphere in Yan Huang City. As a result, the people did not dare to complain, much less speak. This has caused great damage to the image of the royal family. From now on, he will be stripped of his position as the Crown Prince. He will be confined to the Eastern Palace … "
The entire imperial edict was copied down and pasted on all the major roads in Yan Huang City. All the commoners could see the contents on it.
It was only then that many people understood that the matter of arresting people everywhere a few days ago was not done by the Emperor. It was done by the Crown Prince, Xia Ying!
After a few more days, the imperial edict descended once again. This time, the ones to be dealt with were the Second Prince, Xia Xiong, and the Third Prince, Xia Hao. This was because they had also participated in the arrest, and had even thrown a large amount of dirty water at the Crown Prince, Xia Ying.
This time, the entire country was in an uproar.
There were a total of three princes in Da Xia, and within a few short days, all of them had met with huge problems.
Although the Emperor was still young and strong, and he had many children. But all along, these three princes had a very high status in the hearts of the people of Da Xia. The future monarch would be chosen from among these three.
And now the three princes had been dealt with one after another, and there was even a drama of brothers quarreling. This caused the image of the three princes in the hearts of the people of Da Xia to fall countless times.
In that case, who would be the Crown Prince in the future? Who would be the Emperor? What was wrong with the Emperor?
The voices of discussion began to spread throughout the entire court.
However, the royal palace did not give any reply or explanation from start to end.
After the three princes were dealt with, all sorts of doubts and suspicions were heard, but there was less of the previous unbridled criticism and attacks. The people changed from doubts and discussions to just watching.
The second month after Chu Mo returned.
The Cultivation Academy appeared in Yan Huang City at lightning speed. Such speed was unprecedented in the entire history of Da Xia.
Subsequently, Chu Mo personally compiled the first batch of teaching materials.
In the entire academy, he was the only teacher. Other than him, there was no one else.
Too many people in Yan Huang City were waiting to see a joke. They all felt that the Emperor had lost his mind and was actually messing around with a 10-year-old child. However, there was also a saying among the people that the child that Old General Fan Wudi had picked up was actually a god that had descended from the heavens. His previous memories had always been sealed. This year, the seal had been undone, and so he had suddenly become powerful. This saying was also very popular. Those who believed it were not just the commoners. In fact, even many high officials and nobles believed it.
Because other than this saying, there was no other explanation that could explain the huge change in Chu Mo.
And at this time, there were only three students in the entire Cultivation Academy.
Xu Fufu, Miao Yiniang, and Liu Mei'er.
Miao Yiniang and Xu Fufu harbored the mentality of: if you want to laugh at me, laugh at me. Anyway, I have to help my own people. They entered the Cultivation Academy as if they were going to die. As for Liu Mei'er, she had been forcefully dragged here by Xu Fufu.
However, Liu Mei'er had grown up in such an environment that she did not pay much attention to this. Because she was already used to the way the world looked at her.
The time of the three students passed quickly. After three months, the entire Da Xia royal family had more than 30 boys and girls between the ages of four and 12 who had entered the Cultivation Academy.
At this point, the doors of the Cultivation Academy were closed.
Even when Fan Wudi returned, he only met Chu Mo once and then took a scripture from Chu Mo. After that, he returned to the army and never returned.
The entire Yan Huang City, because of all the commotion caused by the Cultivation Academy, gradually became less and less people as time passed.
No matter what, life had to go on. They could not just stare at the Cultivation Academy all day, could they? Moreover, even if they wanted to, they would not be able to get any useful information.
This was because the entire Cultivation Academy was in a state of lockdown from start to finish. The Imperial Guards of the royal palace stood guard outside, and the security was very tight. It was almost to the extent that even a fly could not fly in.
This matter seemed to be gradually calming down on the side of Da Xia, but at this point, it had already spread to the neighboring countries.
They did not care how the emperor of Da Xia felt. Anyway, from top to bottom, all kinds of mockery and ridicule were heard incessantly. Some scholars even specially made up all kinds of stories to ridicule the emperor of Da Xia for being bewitched by a youth.
Some "knowledgeable people" were even moved to tears, exclaiming that their country finally had a chance to expand its territory!
This was because in their view, the emperor of Da Xia was practically courting death by doing this. Before long, the entire Da Xia might be on the brink of extinction.
This matter even alarmed the top powers like Longevity Sky. They specially sent disciples to ask about it.
Different from those voices in the secular world, Longevity Sky could be said to be the sect closest to the true cultivators in this world. Therefore, their attitude towards this matter was much more serious.
However, what was unexpected was that the high and mighty disciples of Longevity Sky, who roamed the world, were similarly denied entry at the Cultivation Academy of Da Xia's Yan Huang City!
They were furious. They had never encountered such a thing before. Given their status, any country in this world would be personally received by the king of that country. However, at Da Xia, the emperor did not show his face, and only sent a eunuch to accompany them. When they came to the Cultivation Academy, they were denied entry again. They did not even get to enter!
This disciple of Longevity Sky returned angrily, and then let out a message.
"Da Xia Country, wait for your country to be destroyed!"
This was not a threat, but an announcement. It was a simple and direct message to the world that Da Xia Country was finished!
On the day he received this news, the emperor of Da Xia Country made a trip to the Cultivation Academy. He came out in an incense's time. It was said that when he came out, there was an uncontrollable smile on the emperor's face.
That smile was so bright that some people felt that the emperor was a little unfamiliar.
After that, there was no after that. The emperor had to go to court every day. And then he would take a few immortal medicines from the Cultivation Academy every day. To this, the imperial hospital had some objections. They did not want the emperor to take such unknown things. However, the emperor was insistent, and they could not change the emperor's mind. They could only pray that there would be no accidents.
Although the Emperor had calmed down, the entire Great Xia Dynasty once again began to have that kind of uncontrollable doubt. This time, there was no human influence. The three princes were very honest, and Prince Xia Jing was even more so.
After all, this concerned the fate of the entire country of Da Xia. A disciple of Longevity Sky had personally said that Da Xia Country was going to be destroyed. How could he be wrong?
In this world, who could be a match for Longevity Sky?
Longevity Sky kept to their word. After half a month, three Longevity Sky disciples appeared in the sky above Yan Huang City using the Void Walk.
