Being born into an emperor's family, or being an emperor's minister, the most important thing in the temple is to be careful in your words and deeds.
Shen Wanjun, who was extremely wealthy and commanded an invincible army, might not have to worry about these fly-sized problems, but Chu Qi had to walk on thin ice.
After all, the current Great Yan Dynasty is just a new emperor, and it is not known how long it will take to establish a crown prince.
According to convention, a new emperor must pass many tests before he ascends the throne and establishes a crown prince.
The first test is to "let go".
Every emperor will choose to acquiesce in his princes fighting openly and secretly, and even forming cliques in the court. As long as you have no intention of treason and usurping the throne, and do not harm the lives of your blood brothers, then how much can you achieve in this link? The support of people and the amount of resources you get are all up to you.
When a large number of the princes have been screened out through this round of tests, will the reigning emperor put some thought into setting up some other tests to verify which one or two or three princes have the qualifications to succeed him in the future? The power of the royal family is characterized by bravery, civility, and the spirit of a true dragon.
However, from another perspective, this first round of tests is also the longest and most dangerous.
Maybe if you say something in the gutter, you will be caught and beaten to death by your rival's brother. In the end, you will basically not lose your life, but you will no longer have a chance to compete for the throne of imperial power.
present.
Shen Wanjun's seemingly unintentional words were actually digging a hole for Chu Qi, and he immediately told the latter to hurriedly extricate himself like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Your Majesty, the King of Jin, must not dare to talk about the crown prince. Regardless of the fact that my father is in his prime and has not yet abdicated the throne, my brothers are all well-equipped in both civil and military affairs. They are far away in Chu Qi." Above, the position of prince, Chu Qi is really..."
"Okay, okay, didn't you tell me to treat you as a senior? Are you tired of chatting between elders and juniors? There are so many secrets."
Shen Wanjun stopped after he clicked, waving his hand to interrupt Chu Qi's next words. He didn't expect to have much effect by digging holes. His original intention was just to have some fun for his youngest son, and he didn't bother to care about him. The children in the Chu family royal family played house.
"Now that you're here, stay a few more days so that you don't have to go back and your father knows that you are being ignored even though you are on my territory. I don't want to be blamed."
Yang Fan's unbearable moans came to his ears again. Chu Qi did not answer any more, but respectfully pleaded to Shen Wanjun:
"Your Majesty King Jin, I had a little misunderstanding with your son Shen Liang earlier. Now my companion is seriously injured. I hope Your Majesty King Jin will summon the doctor in the house for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible."
Shen Wanjun was not in a hurry to agree to Chu Qi, but glanced at Shen Liang without leaving any trace.
Seeing that Shen Liang looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, he, as a father, understood.
"Butler Wu."
Shen Wanjun whispered, and Butler Wu, who was still injured, immediately stepped forward and said with the utmost respect: "Your Majesty."
Shen Wanjun casually pointed at Yang Fan, who was still rolling.
"Have someone carry him into the house for treatment. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Butler Wu responded, but he didn't have much embarrassment about "personally arranging to treat the enemy", let alone thinking about avenging private revenge and asking the doctor in the house to do some tricks during the diagnosis and treatment process.
Don't do anything superfluous.
This sentence is the code of conduct that Shen Wanjun has strictly implemented for everyone in the palace since the beginning of the establishment of the palace.
After all, the chess game in Prince Jin's Mansion is too big, and too many people are watching.
Even if you make just one wrong move, it will most likely result in the entire game being lost!
Butler Wu called the servants of the palace and sent Yang Fan for treatment.
Then the group of people came down to the main hall led by Shen Wanjun.
After receiving Shen Liang's permission, several servants of the Chu family drove the carriage into the main courtyard. The hall door was wide open, and everyone seated could clearly see the scene outside.
After Shen Wanjun sat firmly on the main seat, Chu Shile immediately swept away his unnecessary expression, moved his 300-pound fat body, walked to the middle of the main hall, and knelt down to worship Shen Wanjun respectfully.
"Chu Shile, the son of the head of the Chu family in Jincheng, comes here on behalf of the Chu family to congratulate His Royal Highness Shen Liang on the completion of the ceremony!"
Chu Shile, who had been wandering around the palace since childhood, had long been treated as half a son by Shen Wanjun.
Shen Wanjun has killed countless people, and he has also met countless people. He knows that the Chu family's shrewdness has not been cut off in Chu Shile's generation, so he can naturally ensure that his younger son Shen Liang's association with them will only have advantages and no disadvantages.
And the biggest advantage is that if Shen Liang plays it right, in a life-and-death crisis, this little fat man may not die for his own son.
With a kind smile that only elders can have, Shen Wanjun raised his hand and said:
"The Chu family is interested, let's get up."
"Thank you, King Jin!"
Although Chu Shile was a flexible fat man, he was still fat. When he stood up from his knees without supporting his knees with his hands, it would be difficult to support his weight of more than 300 kilograms.
Seeing him getting up, Shen Wanjun couldn't help but frown slightly and said:
"It's not unreasonable for people to take food as their first priority or take food as their pleasure, but your kid's body weight is a bit too much."
Chu Shile was horrified when he heard this, and his body that had just stood up quickly fell down again.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jin, is teaching you, if you don't care, I will chop it up and bring it to my house for you to see!"
Even though Chu Shile was a little younger than Shen Liang's actual age in this life, when he was ruthless, he was not inferior to most blood-licking men.
As long as Shen Wanjun reported the number, he would really cut his flesh with a knife to satisfy the King of Jin.
It must hurt to death, but to the Chu family, there is nothing more important than firmly hugging the thigh of Prince Jin's palace.
Fortunately, just when Chu Shile was sweating on his back, Shen Liang stepped forward to help him.
"Who cares about the smelly meat on your body? Get up quickly. Shen Wanjun is asking you to pay attention to your diet to avoid getting a lot of fatal diseases early."
Chu Shile, who knew that Shen Wanjun was the biggest in the Jin Palace and that Shen Liang was bigger than Shen Wanjun, was secretly relieved and hurriedly climbed up the pole and said:
"Yes, yes, thank you Lord Jin for your concern. I will pay more attention to Shile in the future!"
Shen Wanjun hummed, then Chu Shile turned sideways, pointed to the congratulatory gift still on the carriage outside the hall door and said:
"The Chu family has prepared a small gift, and I hope His Highness will accept it."
Except for the outsider Chu Qi, almost everyone present knew that the objects covered with red cloth on the carriage must be valuable.
However, Shen Wanjun really didn't care about "disclosure of wealth", so he nodded directly and said:
"Ask someone to open it and take a look."
After Shen Wanjun gave the order, Chu Shile naturally had no scruples and immediately ordered the servants of the Chu family outside the door to lift the red cloth.
As soon as the red cloth was opened and he saw what was hidden inside, Shen Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Chu Shile, can you be a little creative?"
