Peace Order-Chapter 1640 - 40: A Beauty’s Grace Is Heavier Than Gold

Prince Qin pondered, Prince Qin had an epiphany.

Then he took the cracked but honey-coated roasted bread from Shaking Light, placed it in General Nangong Wumeng’s mouth to help her sober up. After failing to defy the superiors, Nangong Wumeng embraced Murong Qiushui’s waist and cried.

Li Guanyi raised his gaze to the distant sky, slightly narrowing his eyes.

The time is near.

He went personally and found Mr. Yan Daiqing to discuss his strategy and demands. Mr. Yan Daiqing was so taken aback that he couldn’t help but say: "But, Lord, if such matters were to spread out, your reputation might be worse."

"The contemporary scholars would likely rise up to attack."

"Saying Your Majesty fell into a money pit."

Prince Qin, without much conviction but with great vigor, said: "Ah? Indeed!"

"What else can be done!"

Mr. Yan Daiqing was stumped by such a straightforward answer, unable to respond for a while, just as Fang Ziqiao couldn’t help but laugh, looked at Li Guanyi’s strategy, and said gently: "Lord’s demands are actually nothing."

"Because the Lord has power and strength."

"And this time, at this moment, those drawn by the [Qin Prince’s Crown Ceremony] are all hoping to gain fame and benefit from the Lord’s renown, like plump meat attracting insects, we need not worry as we make our move."

Yan Daiqing worriedly said: "Will this matter not harm the Lord’s reputation?"

Yan Daiqing was responsible for logistics and internal politics, while Fang Ziqiao was responsible for long-term strategic planning. Smiling gently, they said: "No worries, it won’t come to that, with Daiqing’s temperament, it might result in being aloof, or there could be such consequences."

"But truly lofty people wouldn’t come to prepare for the crown ceremony at this time."

Fang Ziqiao lightly smiled:

"Those high officials of both civil and martial fields in this chaotic world are all smart people, they all know how to adjust their attitudes according to the world’s rules, when not to die in vain protest; and when to lower their stance, they do so faster than anyone."

"And the Lord happens to be the one who sets the rules."

"This set, they are very familiar with."

"However, there are still a few parts that are too blunt, let me refine them for you."

The New Year of the seventeenth year of Divine Revelation has passed.

The State City of Central State and the renowned scholars from across the world all coincidentally arrived in Jiangnan, all feeling rather relieved because Prince Qin, this unconventional monarch, finally began to understand the importance of [rituals].

From a year ago, the bold hero who established the realm with three arrows.

To the king who announced to the world before the crown ceremony to prepare for it, he truly is capable of growth.

That old minister from the Ministry of Rites in the Central State, who was rebutted by Prince Qin, felt gratified, as if seeing a prodigal son, returning to the right path under the guidance of himself and his peers.

With such an experience, there could be letters written home.

Saying Prince Qin, though originally from the grassroots, is a hero who fought to pacify the lands on all fronts, but grew up in the marketplace, raised by a woman, not knowing the proprieties, and not understanding the teachings of the Saint.

Under the persuasion, he finally repented, willing to follow the ancestral rules of maintaining this world’s propriety laws.

Thus, one’s name could be famed for generations.

Though he thought this way, outwardly he said:

"This time, we must ensure that Prince Qin’s crown ceremony is of a level worthy of being recorded in the Ministry of Rites’ annals, allowing your and my names to be passed down through the ages, revered by generations of scholars."

Yet, when the Ministry of Rites officials from various countries arrived in Qin, they discovered a new document, seeing the threshold plaque needed to enter the crown ceremony location, with flamboyant writing.

It was Prince Qin’s handwriting.

Qu Hanxiu recognized it and fell silent.

A group of learned scholars were left speechless for a while by Prince Qin’s two sentences.

He looked at those two lines and felt he needed a term more powerful than [rituals are collapsing] to describe it.

"Prince Qin’s Crown Ceremony"

"At the place to prepare for the ceremony, each invited, only need one thousand gold!"
