Chapitre 727: Chapter 727: The Last Struggle (4)_1

But before long, someone fabricated a motive for Chu Heng, which was nothing more than an attempt to win over a group of students through such means, and then, through these "exceptionally talented" students, to establish his credibility among the commoners.

Everyone knew that the Crown Prince had been ill for over twenty years and his reputation among the common folk was even worse than that of Emperor Huian's third son, King Heng. If he could win over the Scholar's Forest and gain the support of the scholars, even if he were truly incompetent after ascending to the throne, he would be hailed as a wise ruler through the ages.
