Chapter 491 Phoenix Flying 13
At this moment, a golden light suddenly fell from the sky onto the tortoise shell of the Imperial Observatory. The Imperial Observatory was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and the yarrow in his hand fell to the ground.
His eyes widened, his face full of horror and disbelief.
After he calmed down, he carefully observed the patterns on the tortoise shell again, as well as the strange changes brought about by the golden light, and his heart was filled with shock.
He discovered that Hang Fufeng, the newcomer to the royal family, was actually the man of destiny!
The lips of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory trembled, and his voice became trembling: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this is... This is a shocking sign!"
The emperor frowned and said sternly, "Tell me what happened immediately!"
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and said, "Your Majesty, the young prince is destined to be born, and this golden light is proof of that. His fate is indescribably precious, and he will surely bring prosperity to our dynasty in the future and accomplish a great cause that will shake the world."
When the emperor heard this, a complex look flashed in his eyes, showing both surprise and worry.
What makes people surprised is that the royal family has such a destined person, but what worries people is what impact this will have on the future political situation.
"This matter must be kept secret for the time being, and no news should be leaked."
When the emperor said this, his eyes swept across everyone present as sharp as lightning, and his tone was serious and low, with an unquestionable supreme majesty.
His hands were tightly clenched on the armrests of the dragon throne, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.
After hearing the emperor's order, Hang Fufeng remained calm.
He bowed slightly, his expression calm and composed, his eyes firm and clear, and he responded calmly and forcefully: "Your son will obey your father's will." His voice was steady and loud, without any panic or fear, as if everything was under his control.
The emperor stared at Hang Fufeng closely, as if trying to spy out something from his every subtle expression.
However, Hang Fufeng maintained his amazing calmness from beginning to end, as if he had expected all of this.
The emperor slowly withdrew his gaze and emphasized again: "If anyone dares to reveal even a little bit, I will not forgive him easily!"
Everyone knelt down in fear and trepidation to agree. Hang Fufeng also knelt down respectfully and said solemnly: "Don't worry, father. I will keep my mouth shut."
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn at this moment. Everyone was deeply aware of the seriousness of the matter, and the calmness displayed by Hang Fufeng in this extremely tense atmosphere was particularly eye-catching.
"Everyone else, please leave. Fu Feng stay."
Everyone retreated tremblingly, leaving only the emperor and Hang Fufeng in the hall.
The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Fufeng, do you know how confused I am at this moment? Jinnian is the prince I carefully trained, and I originally wanted to hand over the Kingdom of Jin to him. But now that you appear, the situation has become complicated."
Hang Fufeng bowed his head slightly and answered respectfully: "Father, I understand your dilemma. I have never had the heart to fight for the throne. I just want to do my part for you and the Kingdom of Jin."
The emperor sighed and said, "Although you said so, the theory of destiny cannot be ignored. If Jinnian knew about this, he would probably feel uneasy."
Hang Fufeng said quickly: "Father, I would like to express my feelings to the Crown Prince. I have no desire to covet you."
The emperor looked at him deeply and said, "It is good that you think so. But you must not rush into this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary disturbances."
Hang Fufeng cupped his hands and said, "I, your son, will follow your father's instructions."
The emperor stood up and walked slowly: "I will think carefully about how to arrange it. You should also be careful in your words and actions during this period of time, and don't let others catch you."
Hang Fufeng replied: "Don't worry, father. I will be careful in my actions."
The emperor sat back on the dragon throne and waved his hand: "You can leave first. Remember my words."
Hang Fufeng bowed and took his leave, leaving the palace with steady steps.
After the emperor paid his respects to Hang Fufeng and took his leave, he sat alone on the dragon throne, his brows furrowed, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger.
Recalling various signs in the court in recent days, the emperor suddenly suspected whether General Chao and Hang Fufeng had joined forces to set up Hang Jinnian and make him deeply involved in public opinion.
After all, the general holds great power and his influence in the court cannot be underestimated.
The more the emperor thought about it, the more strange it seemed, but he couldn't understand the logic behind it.
General Chao's eldest daughter, Chao Yao, is Hang Jinnian's wife. Logically, General Chao should stand on the side of the crown prince.
Is it because Hang Jinnian let Chao Yao down that General Chao wants to teach him a lesson like this?
The emperor was full of confusion and decided to summon the prince's tutor to discuss the matter together.
The Prince's tutor came hurriedly, bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, I wonder what you are summoning me for?"
The emperor looked solemn and said, "Master, there is something in my mind that I am very confused about."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I and Yu have a young son who was wandering outside. We just found him recently. This child is Hang Fufeng. His appearance already made me feel mixed emotions, and now I am faced with so many troubles."
The Master nodded slightly and listened attentively.
The emperor continued, "I had a deep relationship with Yu Shi back then. If she hadn't died young, her position as empress would have been secure now. I never thought that she had a young son, who was adopted by General Chao when he was born."
He took a deep breath and continued, "Some time ago, I dreamt of Yu. She complained to me in the dream, saying that her death was not accidental, but was directly related to the current queen. When I first heard this, I was shocked, and my heart was filled with anger and grief."
"When I woke up, I found out that this was true. But you also know that I raised Jinnian and raised him as the crown prince. If his mother bears such a bad reputation, he will also be cursed when he ascends the throne in the future."
The emperor frowned even more and continued, "I cannot ignore Jinnian's reputation and future. He is the successor I carefully cultivated. If he loses the support of the people because of such a scandal, how can I be worthy of the foundation of my ancestors. But Hang Fufeng is a man of destiny, so I cannot ignore him easily. If my partiality misses the opportunity for the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty, I will also become a sinner for all eternity."
"Grand Tutor, what decision do you think I should make? Should I suppress the matter of Yu for the sake of Jinnian's future, or should I follow the will of heaven and give Hang Fufeng a chance? I am torn and cannot sleep at night." The emperor's voice was full of fatigue and helplessness.
The Grand Tutor pondered for a moment, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and must not be rushed. The Crown Prince is certainly important, but the doctrine of destiny cannot be completely ignored. Perhaps you can first secretly observe the character and ability of the young prince before making a decision."
The emperor nodded slightly and sighed, "I know that, but it's hard to grasp the right balance. If Hang Fufeng knew my concerns, I'm afraid it would cause resentment; if I ignore him, I'm afraid I'll miss the opportunity."
"Furthermore, various forces in the court are also keeping an eye on this matter. If we are not careful, it will cause turmoil in the court. I am really afraid that if I am not careful, I will destroy the peace that we have maintained with great difficulty." The emperor said worriedly.
The Grand Tutor comforted him, "Your Majesty, please do not be too anxious. I believe that with your wisdom, you will be able to find a solution that satisfies both sides."
The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I hope so. The key is that everything happened too coincidentally. I have to doubt whether all this is true."
