Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 465.1: This Can Be Considered Each Showing Off One’s Capabilities?

Chapter 465.1: This Can Be Considered Each Showing Off One’s Capabilities?

In the beginning, Li Hong Yuan was perhaps indeed interested in sparring with someone that was able to make him use his full strength, but he wasn’t someone madly obsessed with martial arts like He Shi Hai after all. His original intention stemming from this was perhaps just fulfilling his past life’s regret. At most once or twice was enough, merely just satisfying a craving. The reason why he still fought afterwards, it was naturally still because of his inherent goal———training He Shi Hai. And now, although He Shi Hai still hasn’t reached his final form, it was still more than enough.
To be able to not carrying a bit of injuries from time to time, Jing Wan naturally was happy. However, “Afraid He young master won’t give up that easily. His ‘toughness’ can be seen by all.” Jing Wan lightly laughed.
“If this prince doesn’t accept, what can he do? Besides, right now, he already isn’t a baishen[1] anymore. Regardless of the reason, at present, to continue frequently interacting with me, it will inevitably give rise to certain people’s paranoia. As a ‘good son’, I should at least be ‘considerate’ and know when to advance or retreat, no? For his sake, this prince even gave up one of the very few ‘hobbies’ one has, so should at least give some benefits, right?” Li Hong Yuan took the clothes Jing Wan unfolded and put it on, his movements neither quick nor slow, “He Shi Hai improved at an incredible speed, even quicker than expected. Perhaps, in another year or so, I will no longer be his opponent. His temperament right now still is somewhat unstable. If without a goal, perhaps he will slack again. He Shi Hai’s potential is limitless, unknown as to how strong he can become. Rather than letting him become stagnant after defeating me, it’s better to just suspend him like this, letting him endlessly improve himself. Moreover, as long as I’m always ‘stronger’ than him, I’ll be able to easily make him listen, so as to not become a reinless wild horse again, just single-mindedly obsessed with martial arts. In a few years, some things will already be ingrained in his bones, and his temperament will also mature, so these things will be irrelevant.”
This was planning on shooting several birds with one arrow, “Saying this much, is it not just wangye worrying that losing would be embarrassing?” Jing Wan teased. Alright, this purely was just a joke. Li Hong Yuan wouldn’t go so far as to not have this bit of tolerance and temperament. Although this person was both petty and vengeful, that was all towards his ‘love rivals’ and his enemies.
Li Hong Yuan tidied his clothes and looked to Jing Wan, “Wan Wan can think of it however you want, as long as you’re happy.”
Although for a lot of things, he indeed all listened to her and pampered her, but this tone of having ‘the wife says and the husband listens’ placed on the surface still made Jing Wan extremely speechless. Fine, setting aside this topic, “Ah Yuan, towards He young master, really is speechlessly good. Although the method is a bit particular, in essence, it’s still wholeheartedly considering for him. The people that serve you aren’t in the minority, yet the others don’t seem to have this kind of treatment. He young master, in fact, can’t even be considered someone under you. He young master is just this favored by you? Hmm?”
“Wan Wan, you have to know, in this world, there’s nothing that’s gained for free, especially from this prince. Right now, letting this prince invest this much, in the future, one must repay just as much. Your husband is never one to bear the burden willingly and not seek payback. Since He Shi Hai needs this prince to personally train, then he better be prepared to be enslaved by this prince for the rest of his life.”
That’s why, can only say that He Shi Hai was unlucky. The others, which one wasn’t already matured, each having their own post? Only He Shi Hai alone was an exception, because his natural talent was too good, and also one that was susceptible to force and not words, his old man and them were unable to suppress him, thus unable to properly train. Falling into Li Hong Yuan’s hands, the training process was bitter and miserable, and in the future, it’ll be even more miserable.
“Then what about me? When it comes to the things obtained from wangye’s hands, if I rank second, then no one would dare to rank first.”
“Could it be that Wan Wan doesn’t know, your whole life, for all of eternity, has already been booked by this prince?”
That’s why, no one was an exception.
Unlike the others that were ‘enslaved’, Jing Wan was very much wholeheartedly willing. She happily hugged his waist, leaning against his shoulder. Her getting booked by him, didn’t it also mean that he was booked by her too? That’s why, it wasn’t a loss at all.
Li Hong Yuan naturally reached out and embraced her shoulder.
A whole day had passed. Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan both sat down and started handling matters.
Because today not only was Jing Wan’s birthday, it was also the start of construction for the ceremonial altars for the Imperial Noble Consort. As long as certain people were unwilling to give up, then there will inevitably be trouble again. Furthermore, they’d even specially shifted the date ahead of time to today.
The closest altar to the capital was less than twenty li away. If someone wants to do something, causing an incident that’s enough to make people furious, and also be able to have the news passed back in time, then starting from this spot was the best option.
Just, Li Hong Yuan had long made preparations, so how can he let those annoying things happen.
As such, judging from the news passed back, the sacrificial offerings to the heavens prior to starting construction, as well as other things were all in order. The foundation suddenly collapsing, although didn’t bring about any casualties, this definitely wasn’t a good omen.
This matter was very quickly reported to Le Cheng Emperor.
Le Cheng Emperor naturally was unhappy, his heart somewhat drumming again. However, recalling that Guan Guan was a goddess of the ninth heaven that came down to the mortal realm, there certainly won’t be any problems. Thus, Le Cheng Emperor clenched his teeth and ordered to continue, absolutely not allowed to stop. The altars must be finished on time.
Receiving the order from above, the workers could only clean the site.
The collapse was something that happened in mere seconds, but when clearing up, it nevertheless took several hours.
Just, towards the end, they discovered that there was something below. At first, the workers thought of Xishan Barracks, the stone tablet that revealed itself after the collapse. Could it be that this was more or less something similar?
Sweeping away the initial confusion, they sped up their movements. Just, they were increasingly careful.
The thing ultimately got dug out. That said, it wasn’t a stone tablet. However, its value, for a country, nevertheless possessed more significance than the stone tablet, because that was a cauldron[2].
Although majority present were workers, there were still officials from the Ministry of Works as well as a squad of imperial guards present. Among them, there didn’t lack knowledgeable people, immediately recognizing that this was one of the Nine Cauldrons[3].
The Nine Cauldrons, in a certain sense, can be considered the true symbol of a nation. After all, that represented paramount royal power, a unified prosperous country. If someone were to use the Nine Cauldrons to rebel, then regardless of whether the person sitting on the throne was a wise ruler or not, and regardless of whether or not their rule was favorable, the people that will follow the banner of rebellion certainly will be a lot, because the one on the throne will be considered illegitimate. And since they were a fake, then naturally should get overthrown.
Just, these nine cauldrons have already disappeared for over a thousand years, never once appearing over several dynasties.
However, it nevertheless appeared at this time. What did this mean? It meant that Qi Yuan will flourish, a great lucky omen.
Originally, Former Wei even said that they were the true rulers, and that Qi Yuan was just a thief like the previous dynasty. But now, having this cauldron thrown out, without even needing to waste a breath, one will be able to make them speechless, even able to have the two countries’ position switched.
How can one not be stirred up?
Le Cheng Emperor originally was also anxiously waiting, fearing that more trouble will arise, yet never thought that he would hear such good news instead. Upon hearing, he was unable to control his excitement, ordering someone to immediately have the cauldron sent back to the imperial palace. And because he was worried, he even let Yu Zhong Qing personally take the trip. While waiting, he was truly unable to sit still, pacing back and forth in the imperial study. Suddenly recalling something, he hurriedly rushed back to his bed chambers, taking out the carefully stored portrait of the Imperial Noble Consort, “Guan Guan, Guan Guan, you really are, you really are……..” Towards the Imperial Noble Consort’s ‘identity’, in this moment, Le Cheng Emperor no longer doubted in the slightest.
In fact, Le Cheng Emperor even narcissistically believed that the Imperial Noble Consort came down from the heavens just for him, and even having such deep feelings.
Because the location selected for the altars all weren’t some prosperous place, if not for special circumstances, no one would go dig there. As such, who would’ve known what was buried underneath? This time getting excavated because of the Imperial Noble Consort caused one of the Nine Cauldrons to reappear under the sun again. Then, there was nothing left to say. This was already the best proof. And regarding this matter, there will no longer be anyone raising objections. Those futilely attempting to cause trouble and ruin this matter, at this time, will also have to reconsider. If discovered, what kind of consequences will they face?
In front of the country’s interest, even one’s own sons has to move aside. That’s why, even if highly regarded by Le Cheng Emperor, if he were to find out that a certain son caused trouble, he will definitely slap to death without any mercy. On the light side, perhaps it was just getting reduced to a commoner. And on the heavy side, it was directly losing one’s life. At this time, even if it’s killing his son, probably no one would feel Le Cheng Emperor was not benevolent.

After the fall of the Zhou dynasty, they were lost forever. These nine cauldrons were used for major ceremonial occasions and later became a symbol of national political power.
