Who was Luo Junlin? He was the crown prince, the future emperor.
Since Luo Junlin had said so, he must be telling the truth.
Therefore, as long as Ye Futian nodded, he would be made a minister. When the crown prince ascended the throne, he would be the minister.
A youth of Donghai Academy who wasn't even 17 years old would be made a minister. This was an unimaginable honor. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
Even now, many people felt it was unreal. Was the crown prince crazy?
No matter how talented Ye Futian was, he was still young. His future was uncertain. How could he promise to be the minister in front of everyone?
Sitting there, Minister Hua was also stunned. A sharp light flashed across his eyes but he didn't say anything. He didn't stop the crown prince. What right did he have to stop him?
Xia Feng's expression was extremely ugly. Today, he had knelt down to beg Minister Hua and the crown prince to save his son. But now, the crown prince was recruiting Ye Futian as the future minister. To him, as long as Ye Futian wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't refuse. If this was the case, wouldn't his son be doomed?
Mu Hong, Lin Xiyue, the cultivators of the School of the Emperor Star, and the important figures of Donghai City didn't understand. Ye Futian was outstanding enough but the crown prince's words were too childish.
Of course, Luo Junlin wasn't crazy or stupid. He felt a similar aura from Ye Futian. Ye Futian was favored by Minister Zuo and had Minister Zuo's token. Connecting the two together was enough to make Luo Junlin think of many things.
Moreover, he knew Minister Zuo too well. He knew how Minister Zuo did things.
Ye Futian was also surprised. He didn't understand why a piece of music would cause such a big reaction from the crown prince to make him a minister.
"Your Highness, I have many things to worry about right now. I can't give up everything to follow you. Can we consider this later?" Ye Futian asked Luo Junlin. He didn't want to but he also didn't want to offend the crown prince.
Luo Junlin shook his head. Ye Futian saw his expression and bowed slightly. "Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"He refused …" Countless eyes stared at Ye Futian in shock. Ye Futian had actually refused the opportunity to become a lord just like that.
The Nandou Nation controlled 36 prefectures and each prefecture had many cities. The prefectural heads had great power and were considered important figures. As for the ministers … The Nandou Nation had two ministers. The left minister was in charge of internal affairs and the right minister was in charge of the military. The power of the ministers was monstrous.
Ye Futian had a bright future ahead of him, but he rejected it.
Luo Junlin stared at Ye Futian and said, "Do you know the consequences of disobeying the emperor's orders? I may not be the emperor, but I am the heir apparent."
When these domineering words were spoken, many people's expressions changed. As expected of the legendary Crown Prince, he already had the domineering aura of a ruler.
"If it's an order from Your Highness, I can't refuse," Ye Futian replied.
Seeing Ye Futian's eyes, Luo Junlin fell silent. Suddenly, a strong pressure fell on Ye Futian.
Suddenly, a smile appeared in Luo Junlin's eyes. It was as refreshing as a spring breeze. He said faintly, "If that's the case, I won't force you. You may leave."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Futian bowed and retreated.
Looking at his back, murderous intent flashed in Luo Junlin's bright eyes. Then he also turned and left. The two walked down the square with their backs to each other and returned to their seats.
Countless eyes watched the two figures. One was a young and powerful Crown Prince. He already had the bearing of a ruler and would inherit the throne in the future. The other was a young genius who had displayed unparalleled talent. His future was unfathomable.
Luo Junlin returned to his seat but did not sit down. He looked around with authority and said, "I am very disappointed in today's Assembly of the Seven Schools of Donghai Academy. Other than a few people with extraordinary talent, the School of the Emperor Star and the School of the Treasury Star are the only two schools. What's the point of having seven schools? From today onwards, the School of the Emperor Star will be in charge of Donghai Academy and the School of the Treasury Star will support it."
As soon as he finished, the entire Donghai Academy was silent. These words did not come from the headmaster of the School of the Emperor Star or Minister Hua. It came from Crown Prince Luo Junlin.
He had already been rejected by Ye Futian once. Looking at his authoritative eyes, people felt that if anyone dared to object, they would be in trouble.
In the end, the change in Donghai Academy was inevitable.
"Yes, Your Highness." The Headmasters of the School of the Emperor Star and the School of the Treasury Star immediately stood up and bowed in acknowledgment. The other five Headmasters were silent for a moment, then stood up one after another. They looked at the powerful Crown Prince and bowed. "As Your Highness commands."
When the Crown Prince and Minister Hua came to Donghai Academy together, many people had already expected this. The School of the Emperor Star was already established and could not be changed. Now, what should have come had finally come.
"You may leave," Luo Junlin said, waving his hand. Then he turned and left. It was as if his words had decided everything.
Minister Hua stood up and glanced at everyone. Then he followed Luo Junlin.
The group headed straight for the School of the Emperor Star. Crown Prince Luo Junlin and Minister Hua walked at the front. No one dared to get too close.
"What do you think of what just happened?" Luo Junlin asked Minister Hua. Minister Hua knew that the Crown Prince was not concerned about the School of the Emperor Star. He was concerned about Ye Futian being made minister.
"Your Highness, you have your reasons," Minister Hua said.
"When he played, he had the aura of an emperor," Luo Junlin said calmly. Minister Hua's eyes flashed but he did not reply. Only Luo Junlin could say this. He could not say it.
"I made him minister but there was no desire in his eyes. It was as if he had no interest in being a minister." Luo Junlin laughed coldly. "No wonder Minister Zuo is interested in him."
"Minister Zuo's eyes are indeed sharp," Minister Hua said.
"How many of the officials in the palace were recruited by Minister Zuo?" Luo Junlin asked. Minister Hua's expression was sharp. He knew that the Crown Prince was speaking the truth. Astrologers were a terrifying profession.
"But Minister Zuo has never given the title of minister to anyone else." Luo Junlin's expression became even sharper. "This is why I came to Donghai City. This time, the person he is interested in might be different from before."
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Minister Hua asked.
"Although I am the heir apparent, in terms of influence in the Imperial City, my father does not need to say much. But other than my father, Minister Zuo is the strongest," Luo Junlin said.
"Your Highness will ascend to the throne one day. Plus, with your talent, your future cultivation will not be weaker than His Majesty's. Power will be easy for you to obtain."
Luo Junlin's eyes flashed with a cold smile. "Of course. The throne is not my ultimate goal but if Minister Zuo has any intentions of rebelling, I will not forgive him."
Minister Hua looked at the Crown Prince in shock.
"Your Highness, Minister Zuo doesn't have to go that far," Minister Hua said.
"When Minister Zuo went to the City of Qingzhou, other than giving Ye Futian the Decree of the Minister, he also accepted the Nandou clan's request and went to the Nandou clan. Why else would he ask Minister Zuo to go? Of course, it was for fortune telling. Minister Zuo wouldn't tell fortunes for those old guys. The most outstanding descendant of the Nandou clan is called Hua Jieyu. That day, Ye Futian went to the School of the Emperor Star to find her.
They are lovers, "Luo Junlin said slowly." After returning to the Imperial City, Minister Zuo started taking over the Tingfeng Banquet next year. At the same time, he suggested to my father to put the Nandou clan in an important position. Who do you think he is paving the way for? "
"Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu?" Minister Hua's eyes flashed. His heart froze. He felt that the Crown Prince was scarier than he had imagined.
"Haha, that's right. Minister Zuo made such a big fuss to pave the way for two juniors. These two juniors are lovers, and Ye Futian displayed his emperor's aura today. Do you still think that Minister Zuo has no intention of rebelling?" Luo Junlin asked calmly. Minister Hua's heart trembled. He knew that what the Crown Prince said was true. Minister Zuo was also an astrologer. He must have seen Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu's fates.
In addition, Ye Futian had shown his emperor's aura. What would their fates be like?
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it was.
"Order people to keep an eye on Ye Futian and the Nandou clan. After that, we will go back to the Imperial City to see my father," Luo Junlin said. There were some things he didn't tell Minister Hua. When Minister Zuo was in the City of Qingzhou, he had scolded his sister for Ye Futian and made his sister apologize to Ye Futian. Did a princess need to apologize to an ordinary person? What kind of fates could make Minister Zuo do this?
There was something else that bothered him. As the Crown Prince, he had invited Minister Zuo to be his teacher many times. Minister Zuo had always refused, saying that he didn't dare to be the teacher of the Crown Prince. This meant that Minister Zuo wasn't willing to help him. Moreover, Minister Zuo had refused to tell his fate because the fate of an emperor was unpredictable.
Why would he believe such bullsh * t reasons?
As an astrologer, Minister Zuo didn't want to help the Crown Prince. There was only one reason. Minister Zuo thought that he didn't have the fate of an emperor. However, he didn't dare to say this.
Minister Zuo had once said that the fortune told by an astrologer was a type of general trend. One should follow the trend or else he would be harmed.
But Minister Zuo didn't believe it. He wanted to change his fate. He was born to be an emperor. His fate was determined by him, not by the heavens.
…
In the central square of Donghai Academy, the crowd didn't want to leave. With the seven schools united, where should they go?
In the direction of the School of the Finance Star, many people gathered around Yi Xiang. He had given some orders and many looked at him reluctantly.
The headmaster of the School of the Finance Star, Yi Xiang, had resigned from his position and was planning to leave.
"I'm tired after all these years. Cultivate well in the future. I'll take care of my daughter and disciple," Yi Xiang said with a carefree smile.
"Headmaster, isn't it a daughter and a son-in-law?" Ye Futian chuckled. Yi Qingxuan glared at him but Yi Xiang smiled at Yu Sheng. "You're right. A son-in-law is fine too."
"Uh …" Yu Sheng blinked and looked at Ye Futian. Ye Futian was smiling at him as if he was waiting for Yu Sheng to thank him.
"Professor, it's almost the end of the year. The Guqin Gardens are huge. Fengliu and I are a little lonely living there. How about we stay here?" Tang Lan asked Yi Xiang.
Yi Xiang looked at Tang Lan and saw that his disciple was a little nervous. He smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Tang Lan smiled brightly. "Okay. Let's go."
"Let's go." Yi Xiang walked forward in big strides.
Yu Sheng and Yi Qingxuan followed. Ye Futian walked behind with Hua Fengliu and Tang Wan on his back. Looking at the group of people in front of him, Ye Futian smiled brightly.
The scene in front of him was like a big family reunion. It felt so good.
If Fox and Masteress were here, it would be even more perfect. He would work hard for that.
