Longevity Cultivation: This Old Sixth Is Too Stubborn

058 The Great Chu, The Fourteenth Prince's Palace

Speaking of the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, the most famous person is naturally the founding emperor Chu Xingtian.

Why do you say that?

the reason is simple.

Three hundred years ago, the Dayong Dynasty ruled the world, and the last generation of Dayong emperor was brutal and unruly, making the people of the world difficult to live.

Chu Xingtian rose up on his own, ordered the heroes of the world to use them, and even won the hearts of the people, overthrew the tyranny of the Dayong Dynasty in one fell swoop, and finally established the Great Chu Dynasty and ascended to the position of the 9th Five-Year Honor.

you can say it this way.

Chu Xingtian's life can be described as magnificent, enough to write a thick autobiography for future generations.

But there is an old saying that is good.

There is no immortal lineage in the world, and there is no immortal dynasty.

The Great Chu Dynasty has gone through three hundred years of ups and downs, and now the officials in the stadium are corrupt, and the military envoys around the country are even more self-respecting.

The worst thing is that the Great Chu Dynasty suffered from droughts and floods for successive years, which caused the people in all parts of the country to have no food and clothing, and even the terrible phenomenon of changing children to eat.

In addition, the neighboring countries such as Dawei, Daqi, Da Zhao and other countries are even more eyeing the Great Chu Dynasty, and there is a danger of being annexed and divided by these countries at any time.

Now it is the 40th year of Emperor Renzong of the Great Chu.

Although Renzong Chu Yuan was a Ming emperor, he was over sixty years old.

In the face of successive disasters, as well as the problems of corruption and self-respect of officials, Renzong Chu Yuan can be said to have worked hard day and night, and he could not afford to fall ill a few years ago.

On the top of the Great Chu Dynasty, the ministers competed for power and profit, formed parties for personal gain, and factional disputes occurred from time to time.

But okay.

With Li Dongxuan, the national teacher of Great Chu, sitting in the court, these factional disputes can still be controlled.

But the most distressing thing for Renzong Chu Yuan is that the princes under his knees are constantly fighting each other for the throne, and it gradually evolves into brothers fighting each other.

In the 32nd year of Emperor Renzong, the eldest prince suddenly died of a brain disease.

In the thirty-fourth year of Emperor Renzong, the third prince fell into the water and died.

In the thirty-seventh year of Emperor Renzong, when the eighth prince was hunting in the paddock, he and his horse fell into a cliff and ended up with no bones left.

...

In the forty years of Renzong, there were only a few princes left under Renzong Chu Yuan's knees.

These incidents of the prince's death seemed to be an accident, but Renzong Chu Yuan didn't know that it was the result of sibling rivalry.

This also made Renzong Chu Yuan sick more and more, and the Da Chu court was in chaos, and its government was controlled by Li Dongxuan, the national teacher of Da Chu.

...

Renzong forty years.

Great Chu, the capital of the capital Shenjing.

The Fourteenth Prince's Mansion.

"Listen to the miscellaneous family, our fourteenth prince lacks a personal companion, and the monthly salary is 12 taels..."

An old eunuch with an unusually sharp voice was standing in front of a group of scholars talking eloquently about the various benefits of being the fourteenth prince's close companion.

Ning Chuan, wearing a scholar's robe, with a simple and honest smile on his face, was standing in the middle of the group of scholars, listening quietly to the old eunuch's nagging.

However, Ning Chuan's appearance is too ordinary and ordinary, and it is completely inconspicuous when placed in the crowd. The scholars beside him looked at each other, and their eyes were obviously hostile.

After all, they are both competitors, and naturally they don't like each other.

You must know that in these turbulent years, the monthly salary can be 12 taels, which is a lot of income, enough for the rations of ordinary people for three years.

But although these scholars were hostile to each other, no one showed hostility to Ning Chuan.

After all, Ning Chuan wears frugal clothes. You are looking at his simple, honest and ordinary appearance. How can he pose any threat to them?

This group of poor and sour talents are all pretentious, and naturally they do not regard Ning Chuan as a competitor.

...

"If you want to become the personal companion of His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince, you have to pass four levels. These four levels are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

The old eunuch finally got to the point.

A group of poor scholars also listened carefully. After all, the four levels of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are related to whether they can become the personal companions of the Fourteenth Prince, and they naturally dare not be sloppy.

But they didn't realize that Ning Chuan, who they looked down on, was looking at the old eunuch with a deep color.

...

soon.

The four-level assessment of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting begins.

The first level is naturally the art of piano.

More than 30 scholars, one by one, came on stage and began to play their favorite songs.

Just look at it.

Every scholar who came to the stage, that hard worker, wished he could smash the strings.

finally.

As each scholar finished playing his own score, it was finally Ning Chuan's turn to play.

But what surprised these poor and sour talents was that Ning Chuan chose to abstain.

The old eunuch in charge of the assessment turned cold, and strode to Ning Chuan, obviously wanting to reprimand him.

This scholar doesn't even know how to play the piano. Isn't this a joke?

But before the old eunuch reprimanded.

I saw Ning Chuan cryptically took out a bulging purse from his sleeve robe, and stuffed it into the hands of the old eunuch calmly.

Um?

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

He secretly weighed the weight of the purse in his hand, and put the purse into his pocket without a trace. His originally cold and stern face turned into a smile.
