Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"Your Majesty." 

Prime Minister Fang Yuan's words rang throughout the courtroom as he cupped his fits and bowed towards King Xin.

In return, King Xin nodded at him with a smile and gestured with his hand to carry on.

Prime Minister Fang Yuan took a deep breath and started, "Your Majesty, everything within our kingdom is stable at a very delicate balance."

"But what Crown Prince Xin wishes to do is not only a sign of his huge ignorance but also his incapability to judge the situation of our kingdom."

The Prime Minister turned towards Crown Prince Xin and shook his head, "Crown Princ eXin, I would suggest that you come out of your palace and be with commoners once in a while; only then will you get a slight grasp of what's happening in our kingdom."

"There are lots of undercurrents, but there are few things which, as a Crown Prince of this prestigious Kingdom, you should know and think carefully about."

"I can't talk about those things here, but it's not hard if you really try to think and assess what I am talking about."

Crown Prince Xin also stood up.

Even though he was just a teenager, the dignity and the aura around him weren't like that of a normal prince.

He had an aura of authority around him.

With his head raised high and looking straight at Prime Minister Fang Yuan, he said, "Prime Minister Fang, I understand what you're trying to convey."

"But let me tell you this - what you're doing will come back in future to bite the whole kingdom."

"We all here are cultivators, and the sense of freedom runs high. It's not easy to rule over a kingdom."

"However, that doesn't mean we should dig graves for ourselves."

The hall was silent at this moment.

Prime Minister Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean, Crown Prince Xin?"

Crown Prince Xin shook his head, "Prime Minister, you accused me of being ignorant, but now I see that it's you who hasn't really been paying attention."

"I would even suggest that you re-read my proposal. After all, it was my proposal that started the argument."

Prime Minister Fang Yuan raised his head, gesturing him to stop, and said, "I did read your proposal, and a single look at it was enough for me to know how preposterous it was."

"I know Crown Prince wants to get merits, but this is not the time to care about merits. Other hidden problems are plaguing our Kingdom. We should be investing our time in investigating those instead of inciting war against the Wu's."

Crown Prince Xin laughed, "Merits? Do you think I care about those? I am way past that age to care about them - now, I would rather think about calming the situation."

"Calming? You call requesting for an army to go against the Wu's a way to calm the situation?" Prime Minister Fang Yuan almost shouted.

Crown Prince Xin shook his head, "Why do you fail to see the bigger picture, Prime Minister?"

"Bigger picture? The only thing I see is you ruining his majesty's plan, which has been years in the making." Prime Minister Fang Yuan almost snarled, "And let me tell you one thing - if everything our kingdom has been preparing goes to waste, nothing will be able to save us after that."

This shocked almost everyone. 

'What kind of plan does his Majesty have?'

This was the question flashing through their minds.

However, Crown Prince Xin wasn't on this list. He knew what Prime Minister Fang was all mysterious about.

He turned his head towards King Xin and said, "Father, the time we have at hand isn't enough. We have already spent a month it arguing over stuff. Any more delays would only make things difficult for us in the coming days."

"Hmm," King Xin let out a breath.

There was once again a pin drop silence in the hall.

He then turned towards Prime Minister Fang Yuan for a moment, but they had no change in their expression.

But this single action made the Crown Prince's heart drop.

He knew he had lost the argument.

"Son, I understand what you want to try," King Xin said, "If this were any other time, I wouldn't have hesitated, but the times right now are not good."

"We need to uproot the hidden enemies before thinking about the ones who are outside."

"Wait for six months, at least."

Crown Prince Xin took his seat back and didn't say anything.

King Xin stared at him for a moment and then gestured to the courtesans to move on to the next topic.

Prime Minister Fang Yuan let out a small smile, while Crown Prince Xin felt quite disappointed in himself and his own father.

It took a whole month. For a whole month, this topic was ignored or just scrapped whenever he or his faction brought it.

King Xin never said a word.

And today, he directly shut it off. 

'Looks like I will have to inform those people not to carry out the secret mission. Or should I let them? Sigh, this is so troublesome.'

He felt a huge headache swept over him.

Everything was prepared.

Today was the day he was going to get a nod from King Xin.

And then, within a few days, he would accomplish something insanely unprecedented.

Something that will be the trigger of big changes in the power structure of Lower Heavens.

But all this was shot down once again.

And this time, it was the final verdict.

'God damn it! What should I do now? There won't be any second opportunity like this. I must succeed in this plan.'

Crown Prince Xin couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Everything was shot down because Fang Yuan had already incited King Xin to take care of the 'hidden enemies' first - the Sect and independent organizations within the Kingdom.
