Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

"Little sister, it's getting late, should we go back to the palace?" Chu Xiang said slowly, breaking the silence and depression.

Chu Ling looked up: "Nineth brother, it's still early, right?"

"Early?" Chu Xiang frowned and stared at her, his face even gloomier: "Do I have to wait until I'm drunk before going back and letting my mother see me?"

Chu Ling said hurriedly: "How can I get drunk?"

Chu Xiang snorted: "Isn't it drunk after drinking a jar of wine? You have such a good alcohol tolerance? If my mother sees you like this, will she be angry?"

"Nineth brother!" Chu Ling said coquettishly: "Don't use my mother to pressure me!"

Chu Xiang took a deep breath and said: "It's time to go back to the palace."

Chu Ling looked at Fakong for help.

Fakong smiled and nodded: "In this case, Your Highness, go back first, and keep the wine for the prince and me."

"Okay." Chu Ling saw what Fakong said, and then looked at Chu Xiang's gloomy and scary appearance. She knew what to do and didn't disobey. She put her hands together and bowed: "Master, goodbye."

After she said that, she didn't wait for Chu Xiang to speak again, and ran away in a blink of an eye.

Fakong smiled as Chu Ling's figure disappeared, then looked at Chu Xiang, shook his head and smiled.

He didn't expect that it would not rain despite the dark clouds.

It was thunder without rain.

Obviously, Chu Xiang was furious, but he suppressed his impulse and didn't lose his temper.

He was extremely patient and suppressed his temper.

Chu Xiang sighed, "Master, don't drink with my little sister. Look at what she has become!"

Fakong said, "Your Majesty, she just drank a few sips, she won't get drunk."

Chu Ling acted flexibly and casually, saying whatever she wanted, very straightforward. Fakong liked this style very much, and it was very enjoyable to drink with her.

"She's a girl." Chu Xiang said, "If others know, I don't know what they will think. It will damage her reputation."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Fakong said, "The temple's affairs will not be spread."

"Alas!" Chu Xiang shook his head and sighed, "My little sister is too frivolous. It's really troublesome."

Fakong smiled and said, "Compared to before, it's better to be troublesome, right?"

"...That's true." Chu Xiang's face relaxed, and he sighed again, revealing a smile: "Compared to before, although I worry now, I am happier."

The gloom on his face quickly dissipated.

Fakong said, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with you coming here?"

"The Southern Supervisory Department is about to be established." Chu Xiang said.

"Hmm?"

"I have received news from my father." Chu Xiang shook his head and sighed, "Originally, he wanted me to be the first Si Zheng."

Fakong raised his eyebrows.

"But later, my father changed his mind and prepared to let my second brother be the first Si Zheng."

"Second Prince?" Fakong frowned and pondered.

He quickly recalled the information about the second prince, Prince Duan.

The second prince, Duan Wang Chu Hai, suffered from his birth.

His mother was born as a palace maid. It is said that the emperor favored her after drinking, and she became a phoenix from then on.

Even though she gave birth to the second prince Chu Hai, his mother was not given the title of Imperial Noble Consort, but only a Noble Consort, Hui Noble Consort.

This is because the appearance of this Hui Noble Consort is far inferior to that of other Noble Consorts. If it were not for the emperor's drunkenness, he would never have taken a fancy to her.

As a palace maid, she has a pretty appearance, but she is far from being stunningly beautiful, and is far from being comparable to other Imperial Noble Consorts.

It is said that the emperor only favored her this time, and never came again.

Just this time, she gave birth to Duan Wang Chu Hai.

In the harem, the son is noble because of the mother.

Chu Hai and Chu Yun are the best examples. If it were not for the queen, Yi Wang Chu Yun would not have his current status.

And Chu Hai is obviously the second son of the emperor, obviously the second brother, but his status is very different from that of the third son. How can he be willing?

But this is the reality.

The grace of heaven is great, and the emperor's mood determines their power and status.

The eldest son of the emperor died early, and the second son of the emperor, Prince Duan Chu Hai, is equivalent to the eldest son of the emperor. Regardless of whether he is favored by the emperor or not, the order of seniority makes him the chief of the Southern Supervisory Department, which is indeed a suitable candidate.

"The emperor does not choose the prince?" Fakong asked.

He looked at Chu Xiang's face, and there was no loss at all, so he smiled and said, "It's not that you, the prince, are shirking it?"

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Master, I didn't shirk it, but agreed to it. It was my father who changed his mind."

Fakong nodded slowly: "It seems that the emperor is not heartless to the prince."

Chu Xiang sighed and shook his head.

Fakong said: "In fact, the prince also knows that the chief of the Southern Supervisory Department is the most offensive position, especially the first chief, even more so."

"Yes..." Chu Xiang nodded.

What does the Southern Supervisory Department want to do?

It is to unify the martial arts world and bring all the martial arts sects under its jurisdiction. There must be those who are not obedient.

How could there be no resistance if all the disciples of the martial arts sects were included in the list and all were dispatched in a unified manner?

Bloody storms are inevitable.

As the first Si Zheng, it is to lay the most important foundation. I don’t know how many people will be killed and offended.

No matter who it is, as long as he becomes the first Si Zheng, his hands will be stained with blood and his end will not be too good.

As long as all the disciples are registered, the first Si Zheng will be considered to have completed his mission, and he will be severely punished by the father to appease the hearts of the martial arts sects.

Even if he is a prince, I am afraid there will not be a good result. It is likely to be confinement, or confinement without martial arts.

"Then the second prince agrees?"

"The father has not announced it yet." Chu Xiang shook his head: "But once the father's will is issued, the second brother has no choice but to agree."

"If we force him to agree, I'm afraid he will just do the job. Anyway, there will be no good ending, so why bother doing more."

"Second brother..." Chu Xiang finally shook his head: "Second brother will not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely try his best to seize it and work hard to change his embarrassing situation."

Although he is the eldest son of the emperor, his status is ordinary, and the glory of the eldest son of the emperor all falls on Prince Yi.

It seems that he, the eldest son of the emperor, has died, which makes him extremely indignant and extremely dissatisfied with Prince Yi.

His background is a flaw that cannot be compensated, so he is very embarrassed in the Daqian court. He is not willing to change it, but he is powerless to change it.

Now he finally has the opportunity to change the embarrassing situation and let the world know that the eldest son of the emperor is his Prince Duan Chu Hai, not Prince Yi Chu Yun. How could he let it go? Even if this opportunity may be a bottomless abyss, he will jump.

"Even though he will end up miserably, you still want to give it a try?"

"Yes."

"...He is a powerful person." Fakong nodded: "I am not afraid of those who just eat and wait for death, I am afraid of this kind."

"It's useless." Chu Xiang shook his head and sighed: "Second brother is destined to waste his efforts."

Now the overall situation has been determined. The court is a battle between the two kings. Outsiders are not powerful. People like me, no matter how high their positions are, they are just bystanders in the end.

Second brother's ambitions are high, but it is useless. The more he struggles and the harder he tries, the more miserable he will be.

But he also knows the temperament of this second brother.

If he doesn't struggle, he will be unwilling and depressed for the rest of his life. If he struggles and fights hard, he will accept it calmly even if it is miserable.

Fakong smiled and said, "Everything is possible in the world, Your Majesty, let's see what this Prince Duan can do."

"It hasn't been announced yet, and I feel that my father is still hesitating. Maybe he will choose a better one in the end."

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that you will be selected?"

"If I really want to be selected, it's okay." Chu Xiang said, "I would like to be the first Si Zheng."

If I am the Si Zheng, I can make the decision, act more leniently, use less violent means, and try to appease them as much as possible.

After all, the Wulin Sect is also the people of Daqian, so we shouldn't be ruthless. We should give them a chance to correct themselves and be patient.

Fakong smiled and shook his head.

"The position of the chief minister is about to be determined. The remaining important positions will still be selected from the inner court and the Shenwu Palace, as well as the three major sects."

"Disciples of the three major sects?"

"Select outstanding disciples of the three major sects to fill in." Chu Xiang nodded: "So that we can better suppress the various sects in the world."

Fakong smiled: "The three major sects are powerful and deeply rooted. It is indeed more effective to use the martial arts sects against the martial arts sects than the court."

Chu Xiang said: "Yes, compared with the deterrence of the court, the three major sects are more effective... Master, do you want to come in?"

"Your Majesty, please spare me." Fakong smiled and said: "I still want to live a stable life and don't want to wade into this muddy water."

Although the Southern Supervisory Office has great power, the initial establishment is also the most important period for the division of power. After this time, the power has been completely divided, and it is difficult for latecomers to change.

But he still doesn't want to get involved.

There is no need to get involved.

"I know the master is not interested." Chu Xiang nodded: "Master, can you recommend two people to come in? I will tell my father."

If it weren't for the Qianlong Guards to find out Fakong's injustice, and if Fakong hadn't personally found out the spies of the Green Clothes Internal Affairs, I'm afraid it would really be blamed on Fakong.

It seems to be safe, but it's actually very dangerous.

He thinks that Fakong should be given enough compensation to appease Fakong's dissatisfaction.

"Two people..." Fakong pondered.

Chu Xiang said: "Two people are fine, such as Miss Ning, or Miss Li."

Fakong smiled and said: "Forget it, I really don't want to get involved in this matter."

"Master, you really don't recommend anyone?" Chu Xiang asked.

Fakong shook his head.

Chu Xiang looked at him puzzled.

Fakong's decision was beyond his expectations.

According to his observation, although Fakong himself got involved in the affairs of the court, he often indirectly exerted influence through friends.

This time the opportunity is very good.

You know, this quota is extremely precious. If other sects hear about it, they will definitely fight for it.

But Fakong refused with a smile, and easily gave up this good opportunity. Chu Xiang really didn't know what to say.

He knew that Fakong must understand the preciousness of this recommendation quota.

It was really impossible to understand why Fakong refused such a great opportunity.

Fakong said: "Your Majesty, I don't think highly of the Southern Supervisory Department."

"Master, do you see anything?"

"The magic power didn't see anything." Fakong shook his head: "Although the emperor is wise and powerful, he can unify the martial arts world... I'm afraid this path..."

He stopped here and was too lazy to say more.

The emperor must have heard a lot of such persuasion, but he still pushed forward forcefully. After two repetitions, it still came to this step.

It was seen that the Southern Supervisory Department was about to be established.

Now it was impossible to stop the emperor's will and the establishment of the Southern Supervisory Department by persuading him.

People in the martial arts world are very passionate, and the disputes between wills are even more intense.

It is a thankless task to make such disciples obedient, and one mistake may even backfire.

Unifying them is really a waste of time and effort.

It is far better to take other measures.
