Chapter 4: Trials and Beginnings


According to the custom of Great Chu, after the prince is twelve years old, he will move out of the court, and at the same time, he will have the opportunity to make a choice.That is: whether to fight for the throne, or to give up the throne and devote himself to cultivating immortals.Immortality or the throne, choose one or the other!

If you choose the throne, you will automatically join the battle for succession, and then, according to a fixed procedure, test the prince's ability from all aspects.Including but not limited to the ability to start from scratch, the ability to rise and fall in the sea, the ability to lead troops, the ability to unite courtiers, form a team, and build political forces, and even, the ability to truly become the lord of a country (the feudal state of the frontier) and govern the world......

These abilities will be examined in turn in the process of winning the heir.It can be said that the road to winning the throne is a show to show the prince's ability.The strong can unleash their personal charm to their heart's content, and then be favored by everyone.Similarly, in this process, the elders of the clan, the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor Lao Tzu himself, and the ancestors and ancestors who have the ability to interfere in the present world at any time and live in the heavens are all spectators.In this way, everyone can see clearly which prince is capable, what prince is good at, and what the flaws are.In this way, it can be ensured that the prince who wins in the end will definitely not be a fool.No one hopes that the strongest human emperor in the world is a fool.It is precisely because of this that Xiong Yan dared to say directly and arrogantly: I want to be the prince, I want to be the emperor.Listening to Xiong Yan's serious words, Xiong Chang was silent for a few breaths, and then he no longer had a straight face, but smiled kindly.At this moment, he is more like a loving father."

In that case, then I will not dissuade it.However, the necessary tests are still needed.However, before that, according to the usual practice, I need to ask the last question, do you know how the current system of seizing the heir came about?

”Hearing this, Xiong Yan blinked his eyes and began to organize his language."

In the first year of the Great Chu calendar, the first ancestor established the Great Chu.In the 375th year of the Great Chu calendar, Emperor Wai ascended the throne, but ......

"But Emperor Wai himself has a problem, his IQ is only at the level of ordinary people, and as a result, he was fooled and lame by the experienced ministers whose IQ is far better than ordinary people."

If it's just a problem with IQ, there is still salvation, but he is still small-minded, violent, and self-serving, and successfully kills the talents in the clan at that time......

"Later, Da Chu perished because of this.The second ancestor as a remote clan, carrying a three-foot sword, raised troops in Jizhou, Hebei, and after the second Xing Great Chu, in order to avoid the situation of mourning the emperor, there is such a system now. ”"Yes, I'm not lazy, and I still work hard to study.You have to remember that even if you ascend to the throne one day, the children of the clan will be the helpers of the royal family, not a threat to the existence of the throne. ”"In the same way, your brothers are your helpers.Even if you have fought for the crown prince. ”This is the old tune, every prince, when he experiences this, the emperor himself will deliberately explain the thing.As for the effect, anyway, since the second ancestor ascended the throne, after the new emperor ascended the throne, there has been no public persecution of your brothers.In any case, a good rule, a good start, has emerged."

As is customary, I will give you a test before you officially leave Beijing.The results of this test will determine your status and treatment after leaving Beijing, that is, your starting point. ”The first level of the prince's assessment is to go incognito, enter the people, understand the daily life of the people, and start from scratch!

After doing this, there will be no jokes about not eating minced meat.It's not like there will be a joke that an egg costs dozens of taels of silver and an ordinary dragon robe costs tens of thousands of taels of silver.In fact, when starting from scratch, the starting point is still very important.The identity of a child of a clan, the identity of an ordinary person who is not surnamed Xiong, and the identity of a concubine and illegitimate child, are even more decidedly different!

Xiong Yan didn't want to leave the easy road unattended, he had to challenge the extreme difficulty, it was meaningless.So, you have to be serious next.At this moment, this is not the time for moderation."

Back then, when your eldest brother came here at the age of twelve, I was dealing with the rebellion of the family and raising troops to rebel.""

Therefore, the final test for him was to let him lead the army, at the age of twelve, as an earl, to lead the army into battle.Then, with 500 soldiers, he completely suppressed it. ”"The eldest brother is a genius, and in the way of the art of war, he is a genius that is rare to see in a thousand years.At the age of twelve, I can comprehend the mysteries of military morale, and I might as well suppress the rebellion in March. ”Xiong Yan said seriously.Careful recollection, isn't it the eldest brother who became the crown prince and ascended the throne as the emperor in the end?

It's a pity that the art of war and the way of governing the country are two different things......

"Later, when your second emperor brother was twelve years old, he also ran over, and at that time, there was an evil dragon in Zhongshan County, Jizhou, Southern Hebei Province, and there was a big flood, and the people were struggling to make a living. ”"Therefore, the test I gave him at that time was to become a messenger, with a holy decree, a royal flag, and a grain and silver taels transported from the central government, to go to disaster relief."

Hearing this, Xiong Yan immediately said: "The second emperor brother is also a masterpiece, at the age of twelve, he used the body of a messenger to successfully provide disaster relief, pacify one party, and deal with the daily life of hundreds of thousands of people. ”According to the memory in his mind, after the eldest brother ascended the throne, the second emperor brother became the great sect leader, in charge of the affairs of the clan, and at the same time served as a cabinet scholar.It's a pity that Da Chu was still cool in the end.This fully shows that they can't save Da Chu.So, who else will be the next emperor?

Feeling the changes in Xiong Yan's breath, Xiong Chang couldn't help but be curious.Regardless of whether there is real material or not, this spirit is very good."

Now, I'm dealing with the issue of the imperial court's income, so the test for you is to make money.Now tell yes (Dad), how much money do you have?

”So, under Xiong Chang's gaze, Xiong Yan began to dig out his pocket, and finally took out the jade pendant around his neck and the bracelet on his hand.Seeing this, Xiong Chang began to pick and choose, and finally, took out three gold leaves."

These three gold leaves are your capital.The content of the test is to earn as much wealth as possible reasonably and legally as a prince and Lan Xinbo. ”"The capital is three gold leaves, so don't use these on you.Moreover, you can't ask Concubine Jing for it. ”"What you can use is your identity as a prince and Lan Xinbo.Your methods must conform to the laws of Da Chu, at least you can't be a traitor and take the lead in violating the law, understand?

”In the end, Xiong Chang's tone automatically became serious.Hearing this, Xiong Yan nodded quickly."

Is more wealth better?""

Yes.""

It has to be reasonable and legal?""

Yes, that's important.Even if you fail, don't violate the Great Chu Law. ”"Can be used, is it my status as a prince?

Can't borrow the power of the concubine?

”"Yes, at least on the surface.""

What about time?""

It's March!"

Hearing this, Xiong Yan's eyes rolled, and he came to the side of Emperor Xiong Chang and Empress Li Lan.With a plop, he sat on the ground, stretched out his hands and hugged the thighs of the two of them."

Father, Emperor, Mother, I am about to leave the palace and live outside the palace, before leaving, you ......" ()
