Chapter 1101 – Crown Prince

Ouyang Shuo’s words shocked everyone seated.

Kong Zi stepped up once more and said respectfully, “The three points that the king raised up are strategically planned, and it will open up a new page in Chinese civilization. I will try my best to handle this matter well.”

Even Lao Zi and the others nodded in agreement.

Ouyang Shuo’s magnanimity and foresight had totally won over the hearts of all of them.

“Does the king have a name planned for this ideological system?” Kong Zi asked.

The ideological systems of the philosophers were basically named after their school of thought. The system that Great Xia wanted merged all their school of thoughts, so a new name had to be thought of.

Ouyang Shuo thought about it and replied, “Let’s call it the Yanhuang ideology, as that is the roots of Chinese civilization.”

“That’s a good name.”

Kong Zi was the first to agree, as he was one that respected the ancestors the most.

After the matter was settled, Ouyang Shuo got up and left, leaving it to Jiang Shang to handle. The entire organizational work would last till the New Year’s Eve of the 6th year. After the offices opened after Chinese New Year, that would be when this new ideology would be released to the world. … Xia Palace, Wuji Hall.

The moment Ouyang Shuo entered the hall, he saw Bing’er playing with the two babies.

With these two new members, Bing’er, this little aunt, was happier about it than Ouyang Shuo. She came over to play with them whenever she was free and brought them various new and special toys.

These toys were mostly ones that Bing’er had used before. After she grew up, she stopped playing with them and gave them all to her nephew and niece. She even put it nicely, “Inheriting!”

Maybe at this moment, the little girl had truly grown up.

Bing’er was undoubtedly a really smart one. Since entering the game, whilst playing, she had undergone five years of virtual lessons and completed her middle school education. She was currently studying in high school.

In the blink of an eye, she was already a high school student.

Apart from modern studies, her studies of Chinese history were even more amazing. Maybe because she cultivated the Wugou heart sutra, be it her comprehension or memory, it was better than others.

No matter what she was taught, she would be able to pick it up right away.

Instruments, chess, books, and drawing; she was good at all of them, a truly genius kid. All her teachers could not help but praise her, saying that she was a genius.

A day ago, Ouyang Shuo had hired Zeng Guofan as Bing’er’s grand tutor and Zhang Tingyu as her imperial tutor to teach her. Both of them were among the most knowledgeable of people.

Zeng Guofan was the top few be it as an official, as a family member, or as a person. As such, he was more than suitable to be a teacher. Zhang Tingyu had great knowledge and was also a really humble person, so Ouyang Shuo trusted him.

After appearing in the wilderness, the two of them did not need to be slaves of the Qing Dynasty, nor they did have to grow braids. They instantly became more comfortable and at ease, and their aurae slowly changed to become a more relaxing one.

To have these two officials as her teachers was Binger’s good fortune.

Apart from these two officials, Ouyang Shuo also made Wang Feng her imperial bodyguard. She also had many other bodyguards.

After Wang Feng’s hand was broken in the Battle of Red Cliff, under Qing’er’s help, he had started cultivating once more. God Physician Hua Tuo also helped him make an iron prosthetic.

The once valiant Divine Martial Guard general was once again reborn.

Not long ago, with Ouyang Shuo’s approval, Wang Feng had married Qing’er and became the husband of an infanta. He was given the rank of 1st class earl, becoming a relative of the ruler.

After the marriage, Wang Feng sought to return to the military.

However, Ouyang Shuo thought of a better position for him, which was being Bing’er’s imperial bodyguard.

That appointment was really respected, and he did not need to truly go on the battlefield to fight. Furthermore, Ouyang Shuo could ensure the safety of Bing’er. Wang Feng was a 1st class earl and had a high position, so others could not say anything about it.

Furthermore, he was loyal and reliable and was also an official that had been here since the start. Naturally, he could be trusted.

Imperial tutor, grand tutor, and imperial bodyguard; these were things only a prince of the dynasty could have, but it was given by the king to the Xue Yuechang Infanta. People would obviously talk about it, and it raised discussion in the Imperial Court.

Looking at the king’s intention, was he planning to develop Bing’er into the crown princess?

The party who worried the most was the Song Family. Song Tianxiong immediately told Song Wen, who was the Jiaozhou Prefecture Governor, to send a letter to the Imperial Court to say that Bing’er was girl and could not get such treatment.

The officials in the Imperial Court also supported such a view, and they all wrote letters up.

Based on eye witnesses, that day, the king’s face was totally black. He threw down all the memorials and scolded, “How foolish! I’ll make it clear once more, Great Xia is not your traditional feudal system, and we are not following what was done in history. However, there are people who still hold onto the poison that is the feudal system and are stubborn, where do your hearts lie?”

The rage of the ruler was like lightning smashing down, causing the entire palace to fall totally silent.

That day, Ouyang Shuo gave a decree. As a result of Song Wen not being mature enough, stepping into country matters that he had no place in, he needed training. As a result, Ouyang Shuo ordered the Administrative Court to keep him at Jiaozhou Prefecture Governor for three years with no chance of promotion.

This was catastrophic for the Song Family.

As the only truly active person of the Song Family in Great Xia, Song Tianxiong was hoping that Song Wen could become a Provincial Governor as Great Xia expanded.

Now, that dream was in tatters.

Ouyang Shuo’s actions were undoubtedly a warning for the Song Family; he was warning Song Tianxiong not to try to interfere in matters of the royal family.

That was totally prohibited.

It was said that Ouyang Shuo was even prepared to remove Song Tianxiong’s rank. Luckily, when Song Tianxiong got the news, he rushed to the palace to meet Song Jia, and only then did this storm get weathered.

No matter what, after this matter, the position of the Song Family in Great Xia fell.

Everyone could understand that although the king only had one wife, he would not allow relatives to interfere in politics. He even deemed it as a great sin and would not give anyone a chance.

The Song Family wanted to use the queen and their children to raise the status of the family, and this was a truly wrong decision.

Of course, Great Xia was after all still in an ancient setting, and there were many people who could not understand it. Ouyang Shuo could not scold them one by one. Instead, he just dealt with them coldly.

Ouyang Shuo had planned that after the Chinese New Year next year, he would send Bing’er to Qiongzhou Prefecture to learn. Qiongzhou Prefecture was originally her territory, and Ouyang Shuo was just helping her to manage it.

Bing’er would be going over as a Lord, so no one could say anything.

Ouyang Shuo had already given the order to build an infanta manor there for Bing’er to live in. In the future, whether she could truly become a talent and inherit the territory or not solely depended on her.

Regarding this matter, the brother and sister had once had a conversation.
