Chapter 151 No Compromises
“Father, Yang Ling is now so audacious and reckless. As his elder brother, I must teach him a lesson and teach him the proper conduct of a human being!”
Looking at his son, Emperor Liang shook his head helplessly; his son was still too young.
"Yang Ling isn't stupid. Are you sure you can win him over now?"
Hearing his father's words, the crown prince's eyes were filled with helplessness, but there was nothing he could do.
"Father is right. We can't touch him now, but we can't let him get too out of control either!"
Upon hearing his father's words, the Crown Prince thought about it for a moment and realized that there was some truth to them, since Yang Ling was not the kind of person who could be subdued.
"Then what should we do now?"
Looking at his son, Emperor Liang's eyes were filled with helplessness; he really didn't know what to say.
"Now we can only wait. Yang Ling definitely has a bigger plan. Once he achieves his goal, he will definitely come to discuss it with us!"
Upon hearing his father's words, the crown prince nodded.
"In that case, let's wait a bit!"
Seeing his son, the helplessness in Emperor Liang's eyes deepened even further.
When will this child grow up a bit?
In Liangzhou City, Yang Ling sat in the main hall, looking quite relaxed. He knew that his actions would definitely make the Crown Prince very anxious.
"Your Highness, officials from the imperial court have arrived!"
Just then, a guard walked in, and Yang Ling smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"They arrived pretty quickly!"
After saying that, he slowly got up and walked outside.
When he reached the door, he saw An Yu leading a group of people over. Yang Ling smiled slightly and then stepped forward to greet them with clasped hands.
"Greetings, Prime Minister Wang!"
Seeing Yang Ling's attitude, the person nodded.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered you to return to the capital immediately to discuss state affairs!"
Upon hearing the other party's words, Yang Ling smiled slightly.
"Oh? What national matter requires my return for discussion?"
Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, the other person smiled slightly.
"This subordinate does not know either. Your Highness will find out when you return!"
Seeing the other person's smile, Yang Ling felt even more smug, knowing that he was about to achieve his goal.
"Right now, with the two sides at war, I don't have the time to go back with you. If you want me to go back, that's fine, but the position of Crown Prince must be given to me!"
Yang Ling's lips twitched slightly as he uttered these words, causing the envoy to frown upon hearing them.
"Your Highness, do you know what you're saying?"
The envoy said in a cold voice.
He had followed Emperor Liang since childhood and had seen all sorts of situations, but he had never met anyone as arrogant as Yang Ling.
"Am I not clear enough? I am now the Crown Prince of the Han Dynasty. According to the rites, the Crown Prince's power is even greater than that of your Emperor. Do I need to explain to you that I want the position of Crown Prince?"
As Yang Ling spoke, a strong aura of menace emanated from her.
Although he has been benevolent these days, it doesn't mean he's afraid of trouble.
If he didn't have other things to deal with, he would have already used his influence to remove the envoy from the position, since these guys were all bad news.
"Yang Ling, you are forcing His Majesty!"
Seeing Yang Ling's arrogance and domineering attitude, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the envoy's eyes.
"Do you think you have the right to pressure my father?"
A mocking smile appeared on Yang Ling's lips.
Although this envoy is incredibly powerful, it is impossible for him to overpower me.
Moreover, he controlled a large army and could have eliminated these envoys at any time if he wanted to, but he didn't, because these people were important officials in the court, and eliminating them would definitely cause chaos in the court.
Moreover, Yang Ling knew clearly that his ultimate enemy was not these court officials, but the royal family members, and that was the most crucial point.
Only after establishing a firm foothold can one gradually plot to conquer the world.
"Yang Ling, you...!"
Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, the envoy's face showed anger. He had not expected Yang Ling to be so arrogant, considering that he was an official of the imperial court and a member of the Crown Prince's faction.
"Hmph! What do you mean 'I'? Let me tell you, don't think that just because you're from the Crown Prince's faction, I won't dare to touch you. If you piss me off, I'll kill you all. Do you believe me?"
Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, a hint of fear appeared in the envoy's eyes.
Because he did not doubt Yang Ling's words.
Although he was incredibly powerful, he was still afraid of death; after all, who doesn't want to live?
"Hmph, don't push your luck!"
After a moment of contemplation, the envoy glared at Yang Ling and said.
"This is outrageous! Who do you think you are, to think you're worthy of being bullied by me? Get out of here!"
Yang Ling gave a cold shout.
Yang Ling had absolutely no liking for such sycophantic lackeys.
"you.....!"
Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, the envoy's face turned bright red, but he dared not say anything more.
Because what Yang Ling said was true, I am indeed not qualified to say that now.
Moreover, his task was merely to relay a message; if Yang Ling were to seize upon it, he would be in serious trouble.
Thinking of this, he gave Yang Ling a vicious look, turned and left, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, when you get back to the capital, I'll make you pay!"
"Your Highness, this envoy is the Crown Prince's man. I'm afraid you're doing this...!"
Yang Ling's actions just now startled the guards beside him, who did not expect Yang Ling to be so forceful.
"Heh, have you forgotten how they've treated us all these years?"
Yang Ling glanced at the guards around him and said calmly. After hearing Yang Ling's words, everyone fell silent.
Yang Ling spoke at length about the humiliations they had suffered over the years, especially from Li Xian, who treated them like slaves and left them with no dignity whatsoever.
"Alright, let's not worry about these things anymore. I have something to deal with now. Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll deal with this later and then go after the Crown Prince!"
A cold glint flashed in Yang Ling's eyes. He knew that his time was running out, and if he delayed any longer, it would really be too late.
Meanwhile, when Emperor Liang saw the envoy return empty-handed, his previously gloomy face instantly blazed with an astonishing light.
"Hahaha, good indeed, Yang Ling, you wicked wretch, you have betrayed me!"
Emperor Liang shouted loudly, at this moment he wished he could devour Yang Ling alive.
