Since Yu passed down the throne to his son and established his family, the succession to the throne of the ancient Chinese dynasties has been found among the heirs of the previous generation of kings. Generally, the inheritance system is the eldest son, but occasionally it is broken. The basis for realizing all this is that the king needs to have a large number of concubines and then many heirs. There is a saying among the people that "there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an offspring", and it is even more serious in the king's family. No matter how talented and splendid the monarch is when he is in power, no matter how vast his land is, how consolidated his country is, how powerful his military is, how developed his society is, and how stable his politics is, if he has no heirs to inherit, One's own throne, or if one's descendants are incompetent, will eventually change hands and serve as wedding clothes for others in vain.
At this time, King Chu Kaolie was also worried that he would have no heirs in the future, but he did not consider that it was his fault, so he looked for beautiful women everywhere to enrich his harem. However, many years passed, and although the flowers in the harem bloomed many times, they never had any offspring. fruit.
Even Chun Shenjun was anxious, but he couldn't think of any good way. He could only go to the private sector to recruit women with decent looks and suitable children to serve King Chu Kaolie. This move made Chu Kaolie The king's harem became even more lively. However, to Chun Shenjun's expectation, their arrival still did not bring surprises to the Xiong family. Two years later, there was still no response from the land that was most suitable for growth.
Chun Shenjun also found a large number of doctors for the King of Chu, hoping that a miracle would happen. At the same time, he continued to recruit beauties for the King of Chu, and even extended his tentacles to other vassal states.
Li Yuan, a native of the State of Zhao, heard that the King of Chu was recruiting concubines. He thought this was an opportunity to make a career, so he sent his sister to the State of Chu without stopping. However, Li Yuan was not a reckless person. After his own inquiry, he found out that the reason why King Chu recruited concubines was because he could not have children. If you just rashly send your sister to the palace of King Chu, everything will be fine if your stomach reacts. If not, once your sister is gone, it will be like nothing.
This is not only paving the way for his sister, but also building blocks for his own future. Li Yuan was very confident in his sister. She was slender, with a coquettish physique, a pair of red-phoenix triangular eyes, and two curved willow-leaf eyebrows. She was a peerless beauty.
So, Li Yuan found Chun Shenjun and wanted to find an opportunity to introduce his sister to Chun Shen Jun. Chun Shen Jun happened to be famous for his courtesy and virtuous corporal, so Li Yuan took the opportunity to become Chun Shen Jun's follower.
Of course, he couldn't directly lead his sister to Chun Shenjun, otherwise Chun Shenjun would feel that he had ulterior motives. Lord Chun Shen didn't know what kind of scheming person lurked beside him. This person was even more dangerous than King Qin.
In order to make Lord Chunshen take the bait, Li Yuan asked for leave from Lord Chunshen at a certain time and went back to his home. When he returned, he was even more delayed. Later, when he returned to Lord Chunshen, it was already a few days too late. The time of the hour. If he was only a moment and a half late, Chun Shenjun would be able to forgive him, but if he came back so late, Chun Shenjun would have to ask why.
Li Yuan replied that it was because the King of Qi actually wanted to send an envoy to ask for his sister to marry him, so Li Yuan naturally wanted to entertain him well to avoid his sister suffering in the future. Who would have thought that as soon as he drank with the envoy, he would forget the time, and thus delay the time.
When Chun Shenjun heard this, he realized that this was the case and it was understandable. Chun Shenjun even became interested and asked Li Yuan if the Qi envoy had brought him any gifts. In fact, in Chun Shenjun's opinion, since Qi State can send envoys to propose marriage, Li Yuan's sister must be of extraordinary quality.
Li Yuan said neatly that Qi Guo did not bring any gifts. Lord Chun Shen was very surprised. What was the envoy's plan? Could it be that I'm still not sure about Li Yuan's sister? So Chun Shenjun asked Li Yuan if he could bring his sister over and meet her himself. Li Yuan pretended to hesitate, and finally said that Chun Shenjun had been kind to him, and it was her blessing that her sister could meet Chunshen Jun.
As expected by Li Yuan, Chun Shenjun was astonished when he saw Li Yuan's sister. This woman should only exist in heaven, how many times can we see her in the human world? Seeing that Chun Shenjun had taken the bait, Li Yuan did not hesitate to use his sister as bait and threw it to Chun Shenjun. He knew that as long as Chun Shenjun could be used by him, he would not have to worry about his success.
Chun Shenjun was no better than King Chu Kaolie. Li Yuan heard that his sister was pregnant with Chun Shenjun's child after they had not seen each other for a few months. Li Yuan's sister also has her own merits. Not only does she not care about who she marries, she also uses all kinds of tricks after being married, and soon gets the special favor of Chun Shenjun.
This time she was pregnant. The first thing she told about her pregnancy was not Chun Shenjun, but her brother Li Yuan.
Li Yuansui discussed with her and asked her to find an opportunity to give Chun Shenjun a pillow. Li Yuan's sister was also very smart. After informing Chun Shenjun that she was pregnant, she told Chun Shen Jun that the current King of Chu really respected Chun Shen Jun, and Chun Shen Jun was also trusted and reused. At this moment, Lord Chun Shen can be said to be one person below ten thousand people in the Chu Kingdom. He can call the wind and rain, and is omnipotent. King Chu has so many brothers, which one is not envious or jealous?
However, the status of prime minister for more than 20 years does not mean that Chun Shenjun can be prosperous for a long time. Today, the King of Chu is already in his prime, but he has no children. King Chu will die at some point, and the one who takes the throne will definitely be him. brother. When the time comes, the new King of Chu will definitely let his cronies take over the power, and Lord Chun Shen will definitely be left out in the cold. In addition, when Chun Shen Jun was in power, he offended the brothers of King Chu. Once they gain power in the future, they will definitely take revenge. In this case, Chun Shen Jun will be in great trouble. Not only the prime minister's seal If you can't keep it, you can't keep the fiefdoms of the twelve cities in Jiangdong, and your life will probably be in danger.
Chun Shenjun thought about it and realized that Madam was really thinking for herself wholeheartedly. The scenario she mentioned would definitely happen in the future, but how to avoid this risk? Even though Mr. Chun Shen is a genius, it is difficult for him to come up with a solution.
Seeing that Lord Chun Shen looked sad and worried, Li Yuan's sister continued to give advice to Lord Chun Shen. She believes that the only solution now is to confuse the fake with the real and fish in troubled waters.
Chun Shenjun was very surprised and asked his wife what she had to say.
Li Yuan's sister analyzed that although she was pregnant, no one knew about it, and it was not obvious. It just so happened that I had just arrived at Chun Shenjun's residence. Not to mention that people outside didn't know about it, not many people in Chun Shenjun's residence knew me. As long as he dedicates himself to the King of Chu at this time, he is confident that he can win the favor of the King of Chu. With Chun Shenjun's noble status, it will be easy to get the favor of the King of Chu.
At that time, Lord Chun Shen's son will become the prince of King Chu. Once King Chu dies, Lord Chun Shen's son will become King of Chu, and the entire Chu Kingdom will become Lord Chun Shen's possession. In terms of suffering a disaster like that of Shang Yang of Qin, it is naturally clear which one is good and which one is bad.
After saying this, Chun Shenjun suddenly became energetic. In fact, before Li Yuan's sister said this, Chun Shenjun had already begun to plan specific implementation measures. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, otherwise it will be missed. If it is trapped, Chun Shenjun will not be able to eat and walk away.
Not long after, Lord Chun Shen came to the King of Chu and told him that when he was in the Kingdom of Zhao, he found a beautiful woman with a plump figure, so he brought her back and prepared to present her to the King of Chu. The King of Chu thought that compared to those women who were mainly responsible for childbearing, the one who could be called stunning by Chun Shen Jun must be a stunner. What's more, she was plump and easy to give birth to, so she asked Chun Shenjun to bring her into the palace.
It turned out that after Li Yuan's sister offered this strategy to Chun Shenjun, Li Yuan placed her in a secret residence to eliminate other people's suspicions.
Li Yuan's sister met the King of Chu easily. Like Chun Shenjun, the King of Chu was stunned when he saw her and almost lost his majesty. Coupled with Chun Shenjun's recommendation, the King of Chu accepted her into the harem without any doubts. Soon after, the imperial doctor found out that Li Yuan's sister was pregnant with Wang Zhong. The king of Chu was even more excited, thinking that God was really blessing the country of Chu, and finally the clouds cleared and the moon shone brightly. The King of Chu then named Li Yuan's sister the queen. What was even more surprising was that the child Li Yuan's sister gave birth to during her ten-month pregnancy turned out to be a prince. The King of Chu immediately made him the crown prince.
On the other hand, Li Yuan also achieved the Tao of chickens and dogs and ascended to heaven alone. He was reused by the King of Chu and participated in national secrets.
