The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

Chapter 107 The Transformation of God

When Yang Shan heard this, he just smiled faintly and then patted Vice Minister Lü on the shoulder.

"Then it depends on you, Lord Lü."

The two exchanged a smile, and the matter was settled amicably.

……

After leaving the Crown Prince's residence, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Lü's mouth.

He went directly to the residence of Wang Xiangshu, a high-ranking official who served three dynasties and held military power.

Vice Minister Lü wanted to tell Prime Minister Wang about this idea, but Prime Minister Wang was no fool. If they really did it now, Emperor Liang's paranoia would definitely flare up.

At that point, it might be impossible to control.

"My lord, His Highness the Crown Prince's idea is good, but this matter is of utmost importance!"

As he spoke, Wang Xiangshu's face showed a hint of vigilance. This matter was of utmost importance. If Emperor Liang found out, they would probably only end up being discarded like dogs after the rabbits have died.

How could Minister Lü not know these things? But at this moment, he was eager for revenge. Besides, the Ninth Prince had not only killed his eldest nephew, but also his face in court.

"Grand Preceptor, you are second only to the Emperor in the court. Are you afraid of him?"

When Vice Minister Lü said this, his face was full of anger. These people had been working in the court for decades and each had their own background.

When did we have to be controlled by others and act so timidly?

Wang Xiangshu looked at the furious Minister Lü and his lips twitched slightly. He had already fought with the Ninth Prince, and he naturally didn't want to provoke such a madman.

But now that Vice Minister Lü has come to him, he can't refuse to help out of consideration for the other party's reputation. However, the Ninth Prince is indeed someone he can't handle, and he doesn't want to give himself a bad reputation.

"It's not that I'm afraid of him, but think about it carefully. He was summoned by His Majesty when he returned to the capital. If you make trouble for him at this time, wouldn't that be a slap in His Majesty's face?"

Wang Xiangshu, having lived for decades, was far more astute than the simpleton Lü Shilang. Upon hearing Wang Xiangshu's words, Lü Shilang instantly grasped the meaning.

However, he still looked somewhat resentful. The Ninth Prince was acting too recklessly, showing him absolutely no respect.

"Then...what should we do now?"

Vice Minister Lü looked helpless and let out a heavy sigh. He simply couldn't swallow this insult.

Wang Xiangshu stood there stunned for a long time before letting out a heavy sigh.

"Don't make a move now. We still need to maintain good relations with the Ninth Prince. But once he meets the Emperor, that will be our time to unleash our full potential."

Having said all that, a smug look flashed in Vice Minister Lü's eyes. If that's the case, then everything will be much easier.

Meanwhile, on the Crown Prince's side, after seeing off Vice Minister Lü, Yang Shan sat alone in the back garden, sighing and lamenting.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhang He has returned!"

Yang Shan's eyes widened in shock at the guard's shout. Since Su Zhennan's death, his strategist had been out of contact.

Now that he's suddenly back, how could he not be happy and joyful?

"Go and invite them quickly!"

At Yang Shan's command, his guards hurriedly went out and invited Zhang He in.

Zhang He was covered in wounds, clearly having suffered a lot on his escape, but his expression remained calm and composed, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Sir, you're finally back!"

Yang Shan was extremely excited and took a few steps forward to help Zhang He up.

Zhang He smiled faintly and bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

"Your Highness has been worried."

Zhang He was filled with relief. Since Su Zhennan's death, he had been on the run for thousands of miles and had finally managed to return to the capital.

"Someone, quickly prepare food and clothes for the gentleman!"

What Yang Shan needs most right now is someone who can give him advice. He sent Zhang He to Liangzhou to deal with Yang Ling, but he didn't expect that Yang Ling would actually take action.

It almost cost him his strategist.

After changing his clothes, Zhang He finally looked more energetic.

"Your Highness, I heard that the Ninth Prince will be arriving in the capital soon!"

When Zhang He said this, there was a worried look on his face. What if the Ninth Prince really returned to the capital smoothly?

When he meets Emperor Liang, his biggest fear is that the emperor's impression of him will change.

Hearing Zhang He's words, Yang Shan sighed helplessly. He had planned for so long and finally managed to send the guy away, but who would have thought that he would come back?

"Yes, I am very worried, but the people have already arrived at the destination, and it is too late to take action now."

Yang Shan spoke with a look of dejection. If his ninth brother were to return, and his father learned of the other's abilities, his position as crown prince might ultimately be in jeopardy...

However, compared to Crown Prince Yang Shan's worries, Zhang He smiled slightly.

“Your Highness, I think you should reconcile with the Ninth Prince now.”

As soon as Zhang He said this, Yang Shan's eyes widened, and he looked somewhat incredulous.

"Why did you say this, sir?"

Everyone in the capital knows about the feud between him and the Ninth Prince. How could they possibly make up so easily?

This is somewhat absurd.

Zhang He simply smiled calmly and pulled Yang Shan to sit down on a chair nearby.

“The Ninth Prince is currently enjoying great power. Although most of the court officials support you, this is far from enough. Since ancient times, the benevolent and righteous have been the rulers. What Your Highness needs to do now is to put aside your prejudices and let the world see Your Highness’s benevolence.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Shan suddenly realized that this was just for show. In this way, he was no longer worried about how the Ninth Prince would behave in front of Emperor Liang.

"Then what should I do?"

Yang Shan looked humble, and Zhang He nodded slightly before revealing his entire plan.

……

After leaving that small town, Yang Ling hurried towards the capital. He knew that since he had killed the county magistrate, Vice Minister Lü would not let him off easily.

However, these were not problems for him at all. He wanted to give the people of the capital a warning, and Vice Minister Lü was the best choice.

"Your Highness, we will arrive in the capital in one more day. I'm afraid that the remaining day will not be easy for us."

Mingyue looked worried as she said this, and it was easy to imagine what they would face next.
