We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Huo Duanxiao is a man with lofty ambitions.

He has a dream.

That is to assist a generation of holy kings, achieve unprecedented achievements, and create a dynasty that is extremely glorious and far surpasses all other dynasties.

However, in Daqing, his dream was destined not to come true.

Emperor Qing is a powerful emperor. Nowadays, the power of the prime minister in the court is deeply suppressed by the imperial power and he has almost no actual power.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Huo family to produce another prime minister because Emperor Qing does not want to, and the Huo family dares not to do so.

This is also the reason why Huo Tao sent his most outstanding son to serve under Li Che.

However, Huo Duanxiao never expected that the Prince of Ninggu would be such a person.

Then, he thought of his former self, the passionate young self with a broad mind.

Looking at Li Che's clear and deep eyes, Huo Duanxiao suddenly realized.

As a smart man, Huo Duanxiao could naturally see clearly what the current emperor wanted in terms of the successor, which was to choose the best one from among the princes.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Ninggu...may not be without a chance.

Huo Duanxiao thought of the contents of the imperial edict again.

Even if His Highness fails to secure that position, I can still assist him and build this land outside the Great Wall into the most powerful vassal state of Daqing.

Maybe... following him can really help me realize my great wish?

"Sir, are you willing to assist me?" Li Che's voice sounded, pulling Huo Duanxiao back from his thoughts.

Huo Duanxiao looked at Li Che deeply, then suddenly stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply:

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear."

"Hahaha, good, good!" Li Che laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close. "My sir, it's like a long drought meeting a downpour, or like Zhou Gong meeting Lü Wang!"

"I dare not compare myself with the sages, but I will never disappoint Your Highness." Huo Duanxiao said modestly.

"Well, well, well, to me, sir, is like to a fish its water!"

Li Che was in a good mood, and he kept saying nice things and golden sentences, not caring whether he was plagiarizing Liu Bei or Cao Cao.

Huo Duanli looked at the two men getting along well with each other as king and subject, and closed his eyes in despair.

Spicy balls!

Father, Father.

You were smart all your life, but you were confused for a while!

Our smartest second brother was fooled away like this?

Along the way, Li Che and Huo Duanxiao had a pleasant conversation.

Li Che openly disclosed Ninggu County's recent development policies, strategic situation, future plans, etc.

Huo Duanxiao did not hide his shortcomings and seriously put forward some ideas.

Good policies deserve praise without reservation.

Even immature policies can always reveal the truth, point out their mistakes and omissions, and provide solutions.

After listening to Huo Duanxiao's ideas, Li Che's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Although he had a vast store of knowledge from later generations and the support of many ex-girlfriends, some of his policies were still too advanced and not in line with the times.

Huo Duanxiao is like a tailor, always able to find mistakes and solve these hidden dangers one by one.

Li Che finally understood how perverted the top strategists in ancient times were.

Compared to Li Che, Huo Duanxiao was even more surprised.

I thought Li Che was a prince who was good at fighting and dared to employ people.

Unexpectedly, he gave me another surprise and was so talented in literature and governance.

Although some policies may sound fantastic, upon closer inspection, they are actually brilliant and hit the nail on the head.

The most important thing is that His Highness is only sixteen years old. He is not at the golden age for being a politician at all, and there is a lot of room for growth.

If we ignore other conditions and only consider his talents, His Highness is clearly the most suitable heir to the throne.

As long as he is given enough time, he will surely become a holy king who can rule the world!

The happy time was short. When the two came to their senses, the carriage had already reached the outskirts of Chaoyang City.

Huo Duanxiao opened the curtains and looked outside. What came into view was one fertile field after another.

Tender young shoots dot the brown farmland, and farmers move between the fields with smiling faces.

The advanced policy that Li Che had just described to him seemed to take shape and appeared before him.

"This... is Chaoyang City?" Huo Duanxiao murmured.

Huo Duanli also didn't dare to blink as he looked at the scene outside the window.

Everything before them completely shattered their understanding of the vassal states outside the Great Wall.

They thought they would see a heavily guarded and fortified city filled with evil spirits, but what they saw was a picture of people living and working in peace and contentment.

"Yes, this is Chaoyang City." Li Che smiled and said, "With your help, countless Chaoyang Cities like this will be built outside the Great Wall in the future!"

As the convoy entered the city, more and more people gathered around it.

Huo Duanxiao noticed that not only the soldiers guarding the city saluted the carriage, but even the common people saluted the carriage with gratitude on their faces.

Some people who were far away even put down their work and ran to the carriage just to salute and greet the prince.

He was also surprised by Li Che's behavior. Facing the gathered people, he not only did not lower the curtain, but leaned out and greeted the people with a smile.

Huo Duanxiao was silent. He suddenly felt that Li Che did not seem like a vassal king.

To be precise, he is so good that he doesn't seem like a vassal king.

Huo Duanli looked at Li Che's back and felt a little responsible.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little envious of his second brother for being able to stay in this place and be valued by such a vassal king.

The carriage drove to the front of the palace and slowly stopped.

Li Che looked at Huo Duanxiao, feeling a little reluctant: "Zhengze (Huo Duanxiao's name), why don't you just live in the palace?"

"This is inappropriate. I've just arrived, and Your Highness showing me such favor may lead to criticism." Huo Duanxiao said gently, "I live in the city. If Your Highness needs anything, just summon me."

"Okay." Li Che nodded, "Then I'll ask someone to arrange accommodation for you."

"this......"

"There is no need to refuse. This is a benefit for county officials. All officials in Ninggu County have it."

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness." Huo Duanxiao thought about it and didn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll go bathe and change clothes, then gather all the officials. I'll have them take you to rest, and when everything is ready, I'll read the imperial edict."

"Your Highness, take care." Huo Duanxiao said hurriedly.

Li Che got off the carriage and was greeted by his sharp-eyed servants.

He waved to Huo Duanxiao behind him, and the latter returned the greeting respectfully. Then the carriage slowly drove out of the gate of the palace.

Li Che watched the carriage go away, feeling a little bit of anticipation.

The title of prince was finally obtained, and it also came with a versatile man of at least SS level in both civil and military fields.

The emperor was quite generous and it was worth it for me to work so hard these days.

I just don’t know what my royal title will be?

According to the etiquette, Chaoyang City should be located in Liao territory, so should I be named the King of Liao?

Li Che pursed his lips, not very satisfied with the title of king.
