Chapter 445 The Sixth Prince Succeeds to the Throne
However, no one knew what the purpose of doing this was. Later, over a period of one month, our army took the initiative to attack several times, but they were all small battles.
The Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao vaguely guessed the purpose of doing this, but said nothing.
As the war lasted for a long time, people went from paying attention to the war every day in the beginning to gradually getting used to it. Sometimes, they even forgot that a war was going on not far away in the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, it is already May. During this period, everyone has been living a peaceful life as in previous years, working from sunrise to sunset and busy with household chores all day long.
Although Xu Han had been very worried about the ongoing war for some time, it did not interfere with her housework.
During this period of time, another eight hundred chicks have been hatched. Seeing the size of the flock growing larger and larger, the daily busy schedule has become a bit tiring.
At home, May is the summer harvest time. The whole family is busy working in the fields, while also taking care of the children and the chickens in the chicken coop.
Not only that, this year Xu Han also hatched a lot of ducks and planted fruit trees. All of a sudden she was busy with farm work and was really too busy to handle it.
However, even if I wanted to buy people now, I couldn't. There is a war going on down the mountain, and I can't even get into the county town. I can't even control life and death. It's simply a pipe dream to want to buy people.
Helplessly, everyone could only work hard and start the summer harvest early to avoid the summer harvest time, so they could barely get through it.
As for the high-pressure fruit trees, there is no time to plant them for the time being, but it doesn’t matter if you plant them earlier or later, it won’t cause any delay.
During the summer harvest, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest did not go down the mountain to watch over the situation. They just patrolled around their home, and when they saw nothing was wrong, they went back home to harvest the crops.
Everyone was busy with the summer harvest when they suddenly received a big news from Yunhua.
Although it was big news, it didn't matter to Xu Han and the others. After all, it had nothing to do with them.
That evening, everyone was harvesting wheat in the fields, and Mu'er and Ze'er also joined in to help.
The two children, tired from working, were sitting on the edge of the field to rest and eat some fruit! Ze'er saw the carrier pigeon flying back.
He shook his little arm and said, "Mother, the uncle has returned with a message."
Xu Han straightened up after hearing this, looked at Ze'er and asked, "Where is it?"
Ze'er pointed to the house and said, "Fly back home."
The others also looked up, but now everyone was busy. They had to speed up the process of harvesting the wheat while it was not too hot in the evening.
It seems that what Yunhua said was not a big deal. It was probably just conveying the news from the outside as usual. So no one planned to go back and there was no rush.
So Lu Chuan said to Mu'er, "Mu'er, take your brother back first, take the letter down and put it in the living room, we will read it when we return."
"Okay, I understand, Dad." Mu'er said and pulled Ze'er. After pulling her brother up from the ground, she did not forget to pat the dirt off his butt, and then pulled Ze'er and ran home.
Mu'er had done this task of taking letters many times. This time, she took the letter smoothly as usual and put it away as her father had instructed.
Then he went to the kitchen and poured some cooled honeysuckle tea, put it in a bamboo tube and sent it to the people working in the fields.
Everyone worked in the fields until it gradually darkened, then they packed up their tools and went home.
After Xu Han and others left, she and Lu Chuan took the opportunity to store the wheat harvested today into the space. Because there were things stored in the space, Xu Han also specially cleared out a room for transporting things for the summer harvest.
But it took several trips back and forth before all the harvested wheat was transported.
After everything was cleaned up, Grandpa Zhao cooked the noodles and everyone sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air and eat.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the Taoist priest instructed Ze'er to fetch the letter that Yunhua had sent back.
After unfolding it, it turned out that in just a few sentences, there was indeed a piece of news that could shock the entire Yuanqing Kingdom.
That means the emperor of Yuanqing Kingdom has been replaced. These few short words in the letter hold the future destiny of the entire Yuanqing Kingdom in their hands.
"The Sixth Prince has succeeded to the throne, and everything is going well."
The Taoist priest read out the contents of the letter without any expression, as if he had known it would be like this.
As for the rest of the people, they did not react much to the news. It did not matter to Xu Han who the emperor was. As long as he was not a tyrant, their future days would not be too difficult.
Ordinary people don’t care at all about who will succeed to the throne. This matter is too far away from the people. It doesn’t matter who is the emperor. As long as he can reduce taxes and avoid war, he is a good emperor.
Now that they heard that the Sixth Prince would succeed to the throne, Xu Han and Lu Chuan had no objections at all. They had heard of this Sixth Prince before. No, now he should be called the new emperor.
I heard from the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao that the Sixth Prince has the world in his heart and cares for the people. He will definitely be a rare wise ruler in the future.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan believed what the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao said. It didn't matter if they didn't believe it. It was not up to them to decide who would be the emperor. What was the point of opposing it? If the news got out, they might be executed on some random charge.
Grandpa Zhao didn't react much to this, he just said, "It should have been done a long time ago. It's only been confirmed now, and it's been a waste for them to fight for so many years, and let the brothers turn against each other. I really don't know what the emperor is trying to do."
The Taoist priest continued, "You don't understand this, right? Our emperor is very thoughtful. How can you and I guess what he is thinking?"
"Hey, although the Sixth Prince has succeeded to the throne now, it is not difficult to guarantee that the other princes will willingly accept this result. It is not certain whether the throne can be firmly held!"
The Taoist priest patted Grandpa Zhao on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhao, do you really think our Sixth Prince is a vegetarian? The emperor is in poor health, but he is not dead yet. No one dares to rebel at this time. Besides, the Yuanqing Kingdom is not the same as before. It is a mess right now. The other princes may not want to take over."
Grandpa Zhao replied, "You are right. We have been defeated in battles one after another and are about to reach the capital. We may not be able to hold it even if we take over."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest laughed out loud, "Hahaha, you really underestimated our Sixth Prince. Just wait and see, the enemy can only get so far. The Sixth Prince must have a backup plan.
Do you remember what we discussed before? It was about why the neighboring county was breached so quickly, and after the battlefield was transferred here, the army's operations were different from before. Why did they take the initiative to attack? Now it seems that you will see the answer soon. "
