Chapter 982

Changancheng.

After a long absence, Wang Yangming finally returned to the capital.

This time he returned, Wang Yangming was very low-key.

He was returning to take over the position of Prime Minister. The previous Prime Minister, Zhang Juzheng, was demoted thousands of miles away because he couldn't keep himself clean and accepted beauties sent by Great Tang.

Wang Yangming hadn't even taken office yet, and he was particularly afraid that many officials would come to his door to send gifts.

Simply put, he returned quietly so that no one would know.

He planned to go to court tomorrow morning and smoothly take over as Great Qin Prime Minister.

From then on, he would reach the peak of his life.

However, the news of his return was still known to Fang Xuanling and Old Li.

Since they decided last time to take Wang Yangming's path, they had been sending people to watch the door of Wang Yangming's house.

Even though Wang Yangming had disguised himself and returned to his mansion quietly, his identity was still seen through by the people watching from the clues.

Fang Xuanling and Old Li personally came to visit.

And the attendant also carried a huge box; who knew what was inside?

As soon as Wang Yangming heard that these two people were at his door, his head grew big.

The butler handed Wang Yangming a letter, and on the letter it was written.

"Everyone has seen that we, two Great Tang envoys, have come to the mansion to visit.

As the Great Qin Prime Minister, if you refuse to see us, it will make you look guilty. Others will think that we came specifically to send gifts."

This note was a bit inexplicable.

But it gave Wang Yangming a very bad feeling in his heart.

"Butler, they said they were sending gifts; did you accept anything?"

"Reporting to Master, they only sent a very large empty box, and inside the box was only this letter."

A large box containing only a letter.

Damn, I've been pitted by these two guys!

Wang Yangming was both angry and amused.

To see him, these two people had really racked their brains.

They carried a large empty box into his mansion. Whether he accepted the box or threw the empty box out, he would be suspected of accepting gifts!

It was truly a sinister strategy.

Playing this hand on Wang Yangming made him feel some interest, and he wanted to meet these Great Tang envoys.

"Let them in, serve tea in the living room."

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Yangming was also a resourceful person.

Having been played like this, it was impossible for him to just swallow this secret loss.

He also made some arrangements in the living room.

Courtesy demands reciprocity!

Old Li and Fang Xuanling had put in a lot of effort to see Wang Yangming.

They came in to meet Wang Yangming and sat down as guest and host.

Fang Xuanling spoke first.

"It was really too abrupt for the two of us to come and visit Prime Wang Xiang today.

It's just that we were helpless and have an important matter we would like to ask Prime Wang Xiang for advice on?"

Wang Yangming remained calm, wanting to see what they wanted to do today.

"Please speak."

They had met before when they were in Goguryeo.

They weren't strangers to each other.

Fang Xuanling directly stated the problem they encountered.

"When the two of us came to Great Qin as envoys this time, before we even arrived, we heard that His Majesty had gained a new princess.

This princess was born to Great Tang's Princess Wencheng, and we must offer a congratulatory gift.

It's just that we don't know what His Majesty and Consort Xue like?

For the sake of this gift-giving matter, Old Li and I were worried all night yesterday."

Wang Yangming's mouth twitched, which counted as a smile.

It's just that this smile looked a bit cold.

As someone who had just returned from Goguryeo and had little contact with the Emperor, how would he know what they liked?

This question sounded ill-intentioned as soon as it was heard.

Wang Yangming was not so easy to fool and immediately had a countermeasure.

"I heard that His Majesty's princess has a fate where only fire is prosperous, so she was named Ali.

Since it is a gift for the princess, a gift that matches her fate attribute would be best."

This suggestion sounded very serious.

Fang Xuanling and Old Li were indeed worried about this matter.

They both felt that Wang Yangming was an honest person and the suggestion he gave was quite reliable.

"Prime Wang Xiang, do you have any specific suggestions?"

Wang Yangming flashed a hint of mockery in his eyes imperceptibly.

So they took the bait?

"I heard people say that Princess Ali's fate is too noble, and there is even a possibility of her becoming the successor of Great Qin!

It is also because of this that His Majesty has not yet bestowed a title upon the princess.

Presumably, he is considering whether to establish the first female Crown Prince in history?"

"Female Crown Prince?"

Fang Xuanling and Old Li were both stunned.

The Great Qin Emperor's actions were too unconventional, right?

Could such a thing that violates common sense actually be done?

The two were shocked by this news and only cared about being stunned, not realizing Wang Yangming's meaning for a while.

Old Li cared about this matter more than anyone else.

He also had the trouble of establishing a successor, but he had never thought of establishing a female Crown Prince.

He asked urgently.

"Prime Wang Xiang, if that's the case, does it mean that the princes born to the Great Qin Emperor in the future will have no possibility of inheriting the throne?" Wang Yangming cleared his throat.

"Old Li, what you said is a bit out of line.

How can the matter of Great Qin establishing a successor be something we subjects can discuss?

What's more, you are still a foreign subject!"

Old Li lowered his head in embarrassment.

Indeed, his current status was not suitable for discussing this topic.

But he really cared!

If Great Qin established a female Crown Prince, who knew how much of a huge change it would bring to this world?

Wang Yangming didn't forget his ultimate goal and continued.

"You think about it carefully; what kind of gift should you send to match her status?"

He almost explicitly told them what to send.

Five elements with only fire prosperous!

Since destroying Goguryeo, Qin Mu has never gone out to fight again.

Mainly because Great Qin's territory is too large and the border is too far. It is no longer suitable for him, the Emperor, to go on a personal expedition.

But martial arts still need to be practiced.

Qin Mu practiced, and Wei Zhongxian praised from the side again.

"Your Majesty's divine power is amazing, even better than the Western Chu Overlord of ancient times!"
