Is it one in a million?
Xun Yu and the others exchanged a glance.
He was skeptical of this explanation, as it was simply too mythical. If it were true, wouldn't the future crown prince be an immortal, invincible?
However, this matter concerns the future of Great Liang, so he looked at Zhang Jiao to the side!
"Imperial Advisor, what do you think?"
This guy is a professional in this field; he should have something to say about it, he should be able to explain it.
Cough cough!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Jiao's face stiffened, and he began to spout nonsense with a straight face.
"That's certainly possible!"
"His Majesty was born with the destiny of an emperor, which is why he was able to gather so many civil and military officials and build the Great Liang we know today."
"In reality, His Majesty possesses the destiny of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor, so he is naturally not an ordinary person. His Majesty's offspring are destined to be strong from birth, and will inevitably be extraordinary talents, dragons among men, so they will need to exert many times more effort than ordinary people!"
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, the crowd was both puzzled and impressed, amazed by its assertiveness.
No wonder the Emperor's army keeps growing stronger with each battle, and his subordinates keep multiplying; he really is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor! I used to think the Emperor was just bragging, but now I realize how naive I was!
"So that's how it is! This is a blessing for our Great Liang! Our Great Liang has worthy successors!" Xun Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but get excited.
If that's true, then the Great Liang Dynasty truly has a worthy successor, and a ruthless individual unlike any other in history.
However, this is a great thing. After all, such a vast territory as Great Liang needs such a ruthless person to control it. Otherwise, an ordinary prince would not be able to control such a vast country.
Thinking of this, Xun Yu's face immediately lit up with a smile, and his gaze toward Zhang Wanhao and the others became much more amiable.
These guys finally did something good; they really did a great job.
Since the odds are slim, let's make up for it with sheer numbers. It's no problem. Great Liang has no shortage of outstanding young women; it can surely produce the strongest crown prince!
[Born a powerhouse!]
[A dragon among men!]
Upon hearing Zhang Jiao's words, Wang Hui and the others in the crowd exchanged glances and couldn't help but mutter, "A genius among men, a dragon among men, wouldn't that mean whoever can give birth to a prince for the Emperor would be rising to the top in one step?"
If a prince is born one in a million, then his future is bound to be bright.
If he's lucky enough to gain the emperor's favor, he might even have a chance to inherit the Great Liang, which would instantly elevate his mother's family to new heights!
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
This alarmed not only Zhang Wanhao and his group, but even the veteran officials of Northern Liang. They couldn't let the powerful families dominate; they had to contribute to Northern Liang.
Just as they were about to speak, Lu Yafu, who usually remained a nobody in the court, stepped forward.
Cough cough!
He coughed twice, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have a granddaughter who is a rare beauty in the North, and she admires Your Majesty wholeheartedly. She is willing to offer herself to Your Majesty and serve you."
This was a golden opportunity for the Lu Clan, and although he was aloof, he didn't want to miss it.
Once his granddaughter gives birth to a prince, it will undoubtedly be a powerful alliance, making him the best choice for the crown prince.
Holy crap!
Hearing Lu Yafu's words, Xu Fan was furious.
This old bastard used to play dead and act all high and mighty, but now he's actually stepped forward. He's utterly shameless.
He gave him a cold look, then stepped forward and solemnly said, "Your Majesty, Lu Yafu's granddaughter looks like a pumpkin. How can she be allowed to enter the palace as a concubine? It's an eyesore."
My youngest daughter is beautiful and virtuous, a rare beauty in the North, and should enter the palace to serve Your Majesty.
" Xu Fan, you son of a bitch!"
"Who doesn't know that my granddaughter is the most beautiful woman in Shuzhong? Are you blind, old man, to dare spout such nonsense?"
The usually refined Lu Yafu couldn't help but swear. This Xu Fan was utterly shameless! His granddaughter was an All Under Heaven beauty, yet he called her a "sweet potato." This was outrageous!
"Stop arguing, you two!"
Duan Yingxiong had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but step forward and stop the two who were about to fight. He said in a deep voice, "My Duan Clan has a daughter with unparalleled beauty. She is known as the most beautiful woman in Xiliang. Everyone else pales in comparison."
Moreover, my daughter was born in the land where Your Majesty rose to power, blessed with auspicious energy; she is truly Your Majesty's perfect match!
He had to fight for his daughter's future today; she had to become a concubine, no matter what.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a fist flew over, giving him a black eye. The attacker was Wang Chengfei.
"Nonsense!"
"Your daughter is the most beautiful woman in Xiliang, then what is my daughter? What do you mean by 'insignificant in comparison'? I think your daughter is the one who is insignificant!" Hearing Duan Yingxiong boasting, his old partner Wang Chengfei couldn't stand it anymore and started fighting with him.
"Your pumpkin!"
Your gourd is even uglier!
On the other side, the prominent families were also in complete chaos, vying to introduce their daughters, and the scene was almost out of control.
Forehead!
Seeing this situation, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Although I am full of vigor and strength, the thought of so many of you watching me is terrifying; it feels like I'm about to fight a hundred of you.
"Enough! They actually started fighting over this? What kind of behavior is this?"
Lin Yi slammed his hand on the dragon table, instantly stopping the brawl. He then looked at Zhao Gao and said in a deep voice, " Zhao Gao, you are in charge of compiling and screening the list. In the end, I will have the two empresses personally oversee the selection of virtuous and talented individuals to enter the harem."
It would be better for Zhao Gao, the eunuch, to handle this matter, since he was in charge of internal affairs.
With Cai Yan and Shenle, two intelligent people, watching over things, there shouldn't be any major problems. Actually, compared to beauty, Lin Yi values talent and character more. If everyone in the harem were a vixen, it would be quite a lively affair.
"Your servant obeys!" Zhao Gao nodded and accepted the task.
Lin Yi then looked at Zhang Wanhao and the others, and said in an annoyed tone, " Zhang Wanhao, you should stop bumping into things. I'm letting you young ladies from noble families enter the palace for the imperial concubine selection this time because of your loyalty!"
However, you need to be clear about what you should and shouldn't do, because opportunities don't come around all the time!
You can't kill all the powerful families; they'll just keep popping up one after another.
Rather than engaging in widespread slaughter, it would be better to employ people whom one can tame and control, which would save a lot of trouble, and the Zhang and Wang families would undoubtedly be a good choice.
"Wow!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanhao and the others' eyes lit up. Just moments ago, they were about to crash into the main hall and die, but now they were all smiles.
At that moment, they suddenly felt a sense of triumph.
