Ever since The Prince of Shengli became the Crown Prince, things had gone better and better for the whole nation. First, they regained the long lost Art of Buddha, and because of him, the teaching was spread far once again, changing the life of many.
Second, because of his generosity, Shengli Province grew prosperous, the people was free of starvation and plague, more buildings were built, even the corrupt ministers were being plucked out of their roots one by one.
Everyone said that the Crown Prince was aloof, fearless and overbearing, not afraid of offending, not afraid of dying. This kind of person was the most revered by the people yet the most despised by the murky relationship within the cabinet.
Third, not long after the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony, the imperial harem was receiving a good news again. Emperor's newest concubine, Concubine Shu was pregnant, and it was said to be a male fetus.
