The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

After Fan Xian returned, he pondered for a long time before digesting what he had learned from his visit to the academy that day.

This matter was truly beyond his expectations.

He never imagined that all of this stemmed from just two words: ambition.

Indeed, how could a powerful and ruthless emperor like Emperor Qing allow someone like Ye Qingmei to exist?

I wonder if Fan Xian himself admired Ye Qingmei when he first learned about her ambitions.

But at the same time, did he also solemnly refuse to inherit Ye Qingmei's ambition?

Although he has now accepted Qin Hao's proposal and is about to join the battle.

He's about to seize power.

In the future, he wants to be the emperor.

Well, although that's not his ambition.

But now that he has Qin Hao's support, he has to work hard.

At worst, I'll just have a son sooner and then hand over all the affairs of the court to him.

He understood all of these things.

If you want to gain something, you have to give something in return.

Wu Zhu asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's this?"

Fan Xian recounted his experiences at the Suxia Academy that day.

Wu Zhu frowned, and after a long while, he said, "I seem to have remembered something too. Yes, you do seem to be Emperor Qing's son. However, Emperor Qing is a Grandmaster? Hmm, there does seem to be some indication of that. Shall I go and give it a try?"

Wu Zhu is also a Grandmaster-level fighter, so if he were to test it, it would indeed be possible for him to succeed.

But doing so would alert the enemy.

Although Fan Xian's original plan was to alert the enemy.

But I didn't want to startle a python.

His body can't handle it yet.

Although Qin Hao can withstand it, Fan Xian still doesn't quite understand Qin Hao's condition.

But Fan Xian was certain that Qin Hao's strength was far more than just that of a Grandmaster.

He thought of the box of medicine he had received, and Lin Wan'er, whom he also wanted to marry.

Wu Zhu nodded; he wasn't particularly fond of doing things that weren't important to him anyway.

Since Fan Xian wouldn't let him go and test the waters, he simply decided not to go.

However, he also had things to do.

"Wait, Uncle Wuzhu, are you planning to kill someone?" Fan Xian suddenly remembered that Qin Hao had reminded him just as he was about to leave.

This incident was most likely orchestrated by Lin Wan'er's brother, Lin Gong.

The reason Lin Gong did this was actually because he didn't want Fan Xian, his illegitimate son, to marry his sister.

Of course, Qin Hao also explained that Lin Gong was most likely instigated by Li Yunrui to make this decision.

Although it's hard to accept, it has to be said that Lin Gong did this for Lin Wan'er's sake.

If he were in this situation, and he and Lin Gong switched places, he would most likely do the same.

If we disregard the political situation at court.

Therefore, Lin Gong is a stick.

It's hard to believe that Lin Gong was the son of Prime Minister Lin.

At the same time, Fan Xian also thought that if he wanted to seize power, he might as well try to win over Prime Minister Lin.

As Lin Wan'er's father, Prime Minister Lin knows what to do.

Lin Gong was not a very intelligent person; he was not cut out to be an emperor.

Therefore, Lin Xiang would at least not harbor such disloyal thoughts.

He's someone who can be used.

“Uncle Wuzhu, I still have a use for Prime Minister Lin. Don’t kill Lin Gong. After this, I will explain to Prime Minister Lin that Lin Gong will not make a move again.”

Ok?
Wu Zhu hesitated for a moment, but then agreed: "Okay."

Sure enough he knew.

Fan Xian was also very surprised and shocked by the source of Qin Hao's intelligence.

Fan Xian changed the subject, saying, "Uncle Wu Zhu, tonight I want to sneak into the palace and retrieve the key."

As he spoke, Fan Xian took out the box he had received earlier.

The box is made of a strange material; it can't be opened at all.

Even Wu Zhu couldn't do anything about it.

It can only be opened with a special key.

Qin Hao said there was a letter left for him by Ye Qingmei inside, and he would learn a lot after opening it.

Fan Xian certainly wanted to see.

Wu Zhu nodded: "Then I'll lure Yan Xiaoyi away for you."

Without drawing Yan Xiaoyi away, it will be very difficult for Fan Xian to succeed.

That evening, after Wu Zhu left, Fan Xian put on his night clothes and continued on his way.

He still had a ring on him, given to him by Qin Hao.

This ring can enhance Fan Xian's strength, by at least double.

He originally cultivated domineering true energy, making him incredibly powerful.

With this boost, he can now withstand most ninth-rank experts.

In addition, this ring can reduce the noise of his movements and conceal his presence.

This can enhance the secrecy of his actions.

At the same time, it was also to guard against Emperor Qing, a Grandmaster.

Since Qin Hao knew that Emperor Qing was a Grandmaster, he would not kill Fan Xian unless necessary, even though he knew that Emperor Qing would use Fan Xian as a pawn.

After all, Fan Xian is also Emperor Qing's son.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Fan Xian didn't want to risk his life to test it.

He needed to go to the Empress Dowager's palace to get the key.

Everything was going smoothly until, unfortunately, when they came out, they were discovered by Yan Xiaoyi due to carelessness.

He actually came back.

Wu Zhu couldn't possibly force Yan Xiaoyi to stay; that would be an admission of guilt.

Even though he knew Fan Xian's identity, Fan Xian wasn't actually worried about Yan Xiaoyi.

Emperor Qing will help him find an excuse.

Emperor Qing also wanted to know what Ye Qingmei had left for Fan Xian.

He also wanted to know what Ye Qingmei had left for Chen Pingping.

Therefore, he will ensure that Fan Xian obtains the key smoothly.

Ye Qingmei left something behind for everyone.

Emperor Qing received the most, so he was afraid that others would receive the same things.

He hasn't been promoted to the eighth rank yet, although Fan Xian feels he might be close.

By a hair's breadth, Yan Xiaoyi, being an archer, managed to escape after Fan Xian was hit by an arrow, using its powerful impact.

Yan Xiaoyi's face was not good, but judging from the back view, he thought that the person should be Fan Xian.

Upon returning, Fan Xian did not hesitate and immediately began meditating to cultivate the Nine Yang Manual.

This is a secret manual that excels at healing.

So when Yan Xiaoyi arrived with his men the next morning, Fan Ruoruo stopped him.

Fan Xian has finished healing his injuries.

Of course, he also obtained a lot of healing pills from Qin Hao, and it was with the help of these pills that he achieved such rapid results.

Fan Xian, through a series of feigned actions, successfully tricked Yan Xiaoyi into agreeing to kowtow and apologize to Fan Ruoruo if Fan Xian had no injuries.

The result was that Fan Xian had successfully healed himself by practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill, and Yan Xiaoyi couldn't find any marks on Fan Xian's body no matter what he did.

After he came out, he had no choice but to kowtow to Fan Ruoruo and apologize.

Even though he was in the wrong, Yan Xiaoyi had no choice but to kowtow to Si Nanbo Fan Jian.

He couldn't create enemies for Li Yunrui.

Li Yunrui didn't want to easily offend Fan Jian's power.

Of course, if he finds out today that Fan Xian is the one who sneaked into the palace last night, then the situation will be completely different.

Why can't he find it?
When Yan Xiaoyi left the Fan residence, he was still quite certain that the person from yesterday was Fan Xian.

The more clues he couldn't find, the more he suspected it was Fan Xian.

Unfortunately, no wounds could be found on Fan Xian's body.

He shouldn't make enemies for no reason.

Fan Xian once again witnessed Aunt Liu's protection of him, and he genuinely respected and approved of her.

Of course, he knows that now.

In this family, he is the only one who shouldn't have the surname Fan.

Everyone else is family, but he isn't.

"No, it's not just blood relatives who make up family. It should be said that only genuine feelings can be the bond of family."

Although they are not related by blood, Fan Xian feels that he is a member of the Fan family.

In the future, I should treat Fan Sizhe better.

He should repay Aunt Liu's kindness to Fan Sizhe.

"The Bone Forging and Tendon Changing Chapter of the Nine Yin Manual can improve aptitude. It could be taught to Fan Sizhe."

Fan Sizhe has poor talent in martial arts and is also not good at academics. If he wants to achieve something, he really needs the Nine Yin Manual.

When Fan Sizhe learned that he could learn martial arts, he wasn't actually very enthusiastic about it.

Because of Fan Jian, he wanted to learn how to do business.

Fan Xian said, "If your martial arts skills improve, your mental strength will also increase. Your learning, arithmetic, and business skills will all be enhanced."

This finally piqued Fan Sizhe's interest.

Fan Ruoruo arranged to meet Lin Wan'er at Suxia Academy again, and the two met on Qin Hao's premises.

"Wan'er," Fan Xian called out affectionately.

At this moment, Fan Xian could not foresee that he would become entangled in romantic relationships with Si Lili, Zhan Doudou, and Haitang Duoduo in the future.

It has to be said that men, if they do not have the Way in their hearts and are not wholeheartedly devoted to it, will sooner or later develop the idea of ​​having a harem.

However, in Qin Hao's vision, Fan Xian is destined to become an emperor.

So getting three or five wives in advance isn't a big deal.

Anyway, it seems like they're going to open a harem in the future, with three thousand beauties.

After some sweet talk, Fan Xian took Lin Wan'er's pulse, his feelings somewhat complicated.

"Please come out and have a chat, Brother Qin." Fan Xian knew that Qin Hao would definitely hear him.

These are grandmasters; no matter how softly they speak, it can't be hidden from them.

Before long, Qin Hao appeared in the side hall.

Fan Xian bowed and said, "Brother Qin, please help me take her pulse. I think she does seem to have tuberculosis."

Over the years, the fact that she hasn't infected anyone else is the best Lin Wan'er has ever done.

In ancient society, there was simply no way to cure tuberculosis.

Qin Hao was able to tell about Lin Wan'er's illness simply by observing her.

However, he still took her pulse and said, "It is indeed tuberculosis. Give her the special medicine I gave you."

In addition, over the years, her body has been unable to eat much meat, resulting in an unbalanced diet and symptoms such as anemia.

"You need to take good care of yourself from now on. I still have plenty of spiritual food here; eating more of it will be good for your health."

After saying that, Qin Hao smiled at Fan Xian.

But that smile had a hint of malice.

Fan Xian glanced at Qin Hao with annoyance: "I know."

After Qin Hao left, Lin Wan'er asked curiously, "What did he mean by that?" Fan Xian replied, "You don't know yet, do you? He's the owner of Sihailou."

what?
Lin Wan'er exclaimed, "Those things from Sihailou are very expensive!"

Although Lin Wan'er is the daughter of Prime Minister Lin and Li Yunrui.

But Li Yunrui didn't really value or like this daughter.

As for Prime Minister Lin, because of her illness, she couldn't eat too much of what she liked, but the imperial physician forbade.

So she wasn't given much money.

Fan Xian scoffed, "Then it's expensive? Brother Qin gave me a menu that's ten times more expensive than what you've seen."

Lin Wan'er exclaimed in surprise, "Ten times more expensive! Why? Are you still willing to buy it?"

Fan Xian waved his hand and said in a casual tone, "Of course I'll buy them, because these things are really good. Since you can't see the menu, you naturally can't eat them."

That thing helped me cultivate my inner energy.

It's good for the health of ordinary people to eat regularly; it can help prolong life.

He now knew that it was spiritual food.

It sounds like something related to cultivation.

From that day on, Qin Hao stopped paying much attention to what was happening outside.

Although he was granted the titles of Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince and Grand Secretary of the First Rank.

He was already at the first rank in his official career, and there was nothing left for him to be promoted to.

But he never went to the Eastern Palace, nor did he offer any advice to the Eastern Palace, and he didn't even meet with the Crown Prince.

As for giving money?
Are you kidding me? I earned this money myself, why would I give it to you?

Qin Hao didn't even attend court, focusing instead on managing the Suxia Academy.

He also secretly trained many people.

On the surface, all Confucian scholars could come to the Suxia Academy.

Even the Northern Qi wanted to send people over.

The power of Confucianism and Taoism is both mysterious and powerful.

How could Northern Qi possibly lag behind Southern Qing in this matter?
In a few years, if Nanqing were to gain control of the power of Confucianism and Taoism...

On the battlefield, does Northern Qi still have a chance?
Watching Fan Xian cheat by producing hundreds of Tang and Song poems in one night, Qin Hao thought that Fan Xian would be utterly humiliated when he saw him the next day.

However, he did not go to see Fan Xian; he still needed to improve the G-class spaceship.

If the previous G-class spaceships were newly promoted to G-class...

Once his immortal soul undergoes its transformation, he will be able to forge a G5-level spaceship.

If he were to bring in the seven-colored dragon avatar from the fairy realm, he could then use that G9-level spaceship.

Of course, he would put a lot of effort into managing the orders of his two senior sisters.

Although it doesn't quite reach the G9 level, it's still at least at the G7 level.

Since it's for my senior sister, it naturally has to be the best.

Fan Xian handled the rest himself.

He had to work hard to make money and train his own staff.

In the future, after he takes over Nanqing, he will also need to have his own people.

Although he trusted Qin Hao, he would not cling to power and was unwilling to relinquish it.

However, necessary methods are indispensable; one cannot rely on others' mercy, nor can one expect others to show leniency in everything.

Fan Xian still harbored some doubts about Qin Hao's claim that he could travel to many worlds.

Partially believe.

It wasn't until Fan Xian experienced Emperor Qing's repeated tests and arrangements that he gradually saw through Emperor Qing's character.

This man is indeed a ruthless and ambitious figure.

Even his own son was just a pawn, someone he could discard at any time.

This son is not only Fan Xian, but also the Second Prince, and even the Crown Prince.

Indeed, a Grandmaster has a lifespan of at least three hundred years.

Neither the second prince nor the crown prince might outlive Emperor Qing.

Well, as long as Qin Hao doesn't make a move, there's a high probability that Emperor Qing will actually outlive his son to death.

Even his grandsons and great-grandsons might not be able to outlive Emperor Qing as long.

This person was naturally unwilling to relinquish imperial power to someone else.

Is the retired emperor as carefree as the emperor?
During this period, Fan Xian also sparred with Li Yunrui many times. Although he won and lost, he successfully sent Li Yunrui back to her fiefdom.

Without an imperial edict, they may not return to Qingdu.

Fan Xian's wisdom and resourcefulness were also greatly enhanced in the process.

At least if he becomes emperor in the future, he won't let the court fall into chaos due to a lack of wisdom and be overthrown by someone else.

The one who is most worried is probably Prime Minister Lin.

This is the future father-in-law of the emperor, and he already wields considerable power.

When Fan Xian ascends the throne in the future, Prime Minister Lin's power will certainly increase.

Qin Hao wasn't in a hurry; he could just wait patiently.

As arranged by Emperor Qing, Fan Xian still went to Northern Qi.

There, he also met Zhan Doudou, and during that time he also developed feelings for Haitang Duoduo.

Qin Hao saw it all, but never mentioned it.

Lin Wan'er didn't ask Qin Hao for help, nor did she have anything to offer.

Lin Wan'er was actually a well-bred young lady born and raised in this world.

He doesn't actually mind the practice of polygamy.

Although she felt in her heart that she had married someone she liked.

But what he regrets most is that he doesn't only like himself.

After returning from Northern Qi, Qin Hao planned to get Fan Xian to start rebelling.

Why should you be afraid of the temple messenger?
Qin Hao even wanted to try going to the temple.

That so-called temple messenger is probably just an artificial intelligence.

The so-called Three Laws of Robotics—the robot even misinterpreted the Zeroth Law.

Therefore, the temple messengers constantly interfered with the development of society, causing history to regress continuously.

However, overcoming such artificial intelligence should not be difficult.

Qin Hao smiled and looked at the somewhat apprehensive Fan Xian, saying, "Alright, this matter is not difficult."

Not difficult?

The first step is to defeat the fourth Grandmaster, Emperor Qing.

There's also Ye Liuyun, who hasn't had it easy either.

But Qin Hao said without any worry, "What's so difficult about it? You have to understand, not all Grandmasters are the same."

Several of his subordinates have already reached the ninth rank.

Grandmasters are indeed different from one another, although none of my subordinates have become a Grandmaster yet.

Qin Hao estimated that breaking through to the Grandmaster level was not so easy.

It seems that for him to produce a Grandmaster, the world's upper limit will have to be raised.

At that time, it will be either the path you forge yourself or the path you follow.

Neither is a problem.

"Over the past few years, you have trained some people. Starting today, some of my subordinates will be reporting to you, and I have also trained some people for the Suxia Academy."

The emergence of Confucianism and Taoism brought immense joy to Confucian scholars.

Suxia Academy is a higher institution of learning even more advanced than the Imperial Academy. Qin Hao serves as its headmaster and also has the power to cultivate exceptional talents.

Qin Hao even managed to influence the situation in Northern Qi through Confucian scholars who came from the Su Xia Academy.

Fan Xian nodded: "Then I'll take him back and train him for a few more years."

Fan Xian wasn't in a hurry about this, nor could he be.

Cultivating talent takes time, but fortunately Qin Hao has the Time Palace, which saves him a lot of effort.

Years later, Fan Xian looked at Chen Pingping and said, "There are some things you might need to find out from Qin Ye to find out the outcome."

Chen Pingping was taken aback, but quickly understood what was going on.

"You mean there's still a problem with Ye Qingmei's death back then?"

Fan Xian looked at the head of the Surveillance Bureau, who was pretending to be stupid, with amusement: "Head, there's no need for us to play riddles. Since I mentioned Qin Ye, it means I have evidence."

"Then what about the evidence?" Chen Pingping asked directly.

Fan Xian didn't know how to answer.

After a pause, Chen Pingping composed himself and said to Fan Xian, "Alright, what exactly are you planning to do? Don't tell me you can do it just by relying on the people you've trained over the past few years. You know, in just a few years, they probably aren't even at the fifth rank yet, are they?"

Even such a master would probably be of no use.

Fan Xian smiled and didn't care at all, appearing to be a carefree and irresponsible person.

However, before Chen Pingping could become impatient, Fan Xian spoke first: "Those are just the people on the surface. I also secretly control a cavalry force of three thousand men, each with an average rank of sixth grade."

This doesn't even include the manpower of Northern Qi.

Chen Pingping shook her head: "It's not enough."

Fan Xian thought for a moment and decided to give this extremely clever eunuch a hint.

“I have my father Fan Jian’s support. The Red Armor Knights might not be able to get me, but the Tiger Guards will definitely be willing to follow my orders.”

"Prime Minister Lin is my father-in-law. Wan'er and I are already married, so he will stand on our side."

"Ye Liuyun of the Ye family will most likely obey my orders as well."

This terrified Chen Pingping.

"How is that possible? How did you do that?"

Ye Liuyun is a person who values ​​his family very much. For the sake of the Ye family, he is willing to guard the border.

If there is no hope of victory, or rather, if one is not certain that Fan Xian will win.

The other party will absolutely not stand on this point.

Fan Xian said, "Because Mr. Qin from Jixia Academy has already personally gone to visit Ye Liuyun."

At that moment on the frontier, Ye Liuyun was fishing when he suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction: "Who's there?"

Qin Hao chuckled: "As expected of a Grandmaster, I deliberately released a little of my aura, but you still managed to detect it."

deliberately?

Ye Liuyun didn't sense any deliberate intent whatsoever.

Was this behavior intentional?

Wasn't it something he sensed?
When Qin Hao appeared, Ye Liuyun was puzzled for a moment, because he hadn't been back to Qingdu for a long time.

"Who are you? Headmaster Qin of the Jixia Academy?"

Over the years, students from the Jixia Academy have continuously emerged and achieved considerable success in various parts of Nanqing or in the court of Beiqi.

But the one in front of me is too young.

"By normal standards, you should be approaching thirty by now, sir?"

There are still a few years left.

Qin Hao chuckled: "Perhaps. Time is actually worthless to us. Grandmasters can easily live to be three hundred years old, so why bother toiling and suffering for a family?"

But everyone has their own ideas, and it's clear that Ye Liuyun couldn't possibly think that way.

If he really thought that way, why did he refuse to leave for more than a decade?

Qin Hao didn't care how shocked or turbulent the other party was.

He spoke directly, stating his purpose: "My purpose is simply that you might remain neutral, and I will keep my promise and not do anything to the Ye family."

But if you outwardly comply but inwardly defy me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Qin Hao's attitude was to let Ye Liuyun make his own choice.

The choice is between family and oneself.

Or perhaps, they even considered the possibility of him joining their side and turning against them, but did not accept it.

"I..." (End of Chapter)
