Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2497: The upper material is not straight and the lower beam is crooked

On the way back to Tianshui Town from Feicheng, Yu Lei had nothing to do and talked to Liu Xing about the brothers of Gongzi Ying. Because there is a saying that the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, so the third prince is ready to start the Nine Dragons Fighting for the throne with his brothers, and his sons are also ready to fight for who is the only designated heir of the third prince.

However, in some cases, it is not you who want to fight for this position, but your subordinates hope that you can get this position. After all, you represent their interests at this time, so if you don’t fight, then they will suffer a great loss.

In many cases, everyone can accept the ending of not getting what they want, because at least they have fought for it, but if they give up right away, then even if there is only a 1% success rate, everyone will feel very sorry, and even feel helpless.

And the second son of the third prince, that is, Long San’s possible father, is the unlucky guy who was roasted on the fire.

In short, although the second son of the third prince is not the kind of indecisive person, his personality is also quite good, so he has a good relationship with his family, and therefore he has made many friends with talented people. For a time, he was also the only undesignated heir of the third prince. Everyone thought that he was the most likely to inherit the throne of the third prince. After all, the eldest son of the third prince did not show much ambition at that time. In addition, he was sent to the palace for training when he was a child, that is, he was taught by the new dragon emperor himself, so his relationship with the third prince can only be said to be average.

It is precisely because the new dragon emperor will bring the eldest sons of the princes and princesses to teach, so many people think that the new dragon emperor feels that his sons are not suitable to inherit his throne, so he wants one of his grandsons to inherit the throne. Unfortunately, these grandsons who were left by the new dragon emperor to teach were sent back to their parents at the age of fifteen, that is, they went home after completing the hair-binding ceremony in the palace.

This is a bit embarrassing, because according to the ancient saying, after completing the hair-binding ceremony, you are half an adult, and no longer a child, so if the parents of these imperial grandchildren want to cultivate feelings with them, there will be some restrictions, after all, you can no longer treat them as children.

However, these imperial grandchildren who have completed the hair-binding ceremony cannot be considered as adults who can take charge of their own affairs, so you can't just let him go out to work, so this situation is a bit embarrassing.

Think about it, although you know you have such a son, he has lived with your father for many years, you may only meet him a few times throughout the year, and the time you spend together can be measured in hours, not to mention that the time you two chat privately may only be a few sticks of incense, so having such a son is really equivalent to having nothing.

The most important thing is that this son has been gone for more than ten years, and you and him have become the most familiar strangers, but the problem is that this son is your eldest son no matter what, and the reason why he has been gone for so long can only be blamed on his father, so you still have to be nice to this son, otherwise you will have a problem with your father's actions.

So when Liu Xing heard Yu Lei say this, he was thinking at the time that if he were the third prince, how would he face his eldest son who left home at a young age and came back old? !

Besides, this eldest son is really old, and it is a bit inappropriate for you to treat him, so this seems to be a chance for the new Dragon Emperor to give you as a parent, and finally cultivate parent-child relationships with your child. After all, after a few years, when your child has performed the crown ceremony, your son will be an adult, so how should you, as a prince, treat this son?

That's right, as a prince, after your son has performed the ceremony of coming of age, he is your son and minister, because as long as he has no problems, you should find something for him to do. It's impossible to keep him at home as a dandy boy, right?

This time, your son will have to go home only during festivals or other important moments, and he should have his own family at this time, and of course he will have his own children, so you can't treat him as a child at this time.

When Liu Xing thought of this, he felt a little scalp numb, and a lot of cold sweat came out of his back, because the new Dragon Emperor's operation was a huge test for his sons. After all, no matter what you do, it will affect the whole body, and the final result is either a loving father and a filial son, or "a loving father and a filial son". The difference is not just an extra double quotation mark.

Although there was no such saying in ancient times, young people in their teens are indeed prone to rebellion, so after the eldest son of the Eighth Prince came back from the side of the New Dragon Emperor, he had an irreconcilable conflict with his father, and then disappeared.

That's right, the whereabouts of the Eighth Prince's son are still unknown, but the whereabouts here are only for outsiders, because the Eighth Prince did not react at all, so everyone thought that the Eighth Prince should know where his eldest son is and what he is doing, but neither side wants to bow to the other, so they just stay like this, but this also makes the Eighth Prince inevitably teased by others during family gatherings.

The opposite of the Eighth Prince in this regard is the Third Prince.

When the third prince saw his eldest son coming home, he began to let his eldest son feel the fatherly love that he had been missing for many years. He took his eldest son out for horseback riding and fishing every day, and even went to special places to watch plays and drink tea. In short, the third prince quickly integrated his eldest son back into the family and loved his parents and brothers. . . Until the third prince's sons performed the ceremony of capping together.

In ancient times, the ceremony of capping was generally irregular, as long as it was performed at around 20 years old, so the elders responsible for performing the ceremony of capping would determine a specific time according to the situation of the younger generation, unless the younger generation had to go on a long journey for some reason, then the ceremony of capping would be held in advance.

When parents are around, do not travel far, and travel must have a plan.

As we all know, the reason why the ancients could use words such as "bundle hair" and "capping" to refer to a person's age is because these hairstyles are only worn by people of a certain age group. This is like the school uniform in school. You can tell what grade this person is at a glance, because students of each grade have school uniforms of different colors.

For example, Liu Xing wore a blue school uniform, while the senior students wore green uniforms, and the junior students wore light pink uniforms. To be honest, Liu Xing thought the light pink striped uniform looked pretty good, especially when worn by a handsome man like himself, it gave him a mysterious aura.

Ahem, if you go out and your hair is still tied up, it will cause some trouble, so even if you are only in your teens at this time, your elders will perform the ceremony of capping for you in advance.

So the ceremony of capping is usually performed in advance and will not be delayed for too long, but the third prince did the opposite and let his eldest son wait for a year before performing the ceremony of capping with the second son, the third son and the fourth son.

Although the Third Prince did not say why, Yu Lei and others knew that it was because the Third Prince wanted to continue to reconcile the relationship between his sons. After all, his eldest son had been "missing" for more than ten years in the eyes of his younger brothers. As a result, when you came back, you asked us to call you the eldest brother, and the majority of the father's favor and other things had to be shared with you. It was impossible for these younger brothers to have no bad thoughts, even though the Third Prince had been trying every means to make them brothers friendly and respectful in these years.

Especially after these sons grew up, they wanted more things. After all, the Third Prince would also encourage his sons to make more friends to broaden their horizons. At the same time, they would have their own team when they went out to serve as officials, which would make things much easier.

However, the Third Prince also knew that as long as his sons had a team, they would not be fighting alone at this time. After all, even if you don't take your team to eat and drink, the salary and bonus you should give should not be less, right?

Therefore, the Third Prince knew that he had treated his eldest son much better than his other sons in the past two years. Although he also paid attention to the thoughts of his other sons, it was easy to treat one son equally, but it would be difficult to treat several sons equally, and some of them would be spilled.

Therefore, the Third Prince forcibly delayed the time of his eldest son's coming-of-age ceremony, which in disguise brought his sons back to the same starting line. In this way, the younger sons who felt that their father was too partial in the past two years could calm down and feel that their father did not completely turn to their eldest brother.

In a sense, this is also a kind of imperial mentality, because many emperors in history would give their sons the hope of becoming emperors before officially appointing a crown prince, and when a son emerges, he would deliberately suppress him. In short, these sons must feel that they have the opportunity to become emperors, so that these sons have to find ways to show themselves in front of their fathers. In a sense, it can also be regarded as promoting the comprehensive development of these sons in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, so as to select the most capable new emperor from the best, so that their dynasty can be forever solid and prosperous for a hundred generations.

However, since this kind of cultivation method of raising Gu has advantages, it also has disadvantages. It is like raising Gu in the end to raise a powerful Gu worm, even an invincible Gu worm, but in order to cultivate such a Gu worm, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of poisonous insects must be thrown in.

One general's success is the result of the death of thousands of bones.

Therefore, the new emperors trained in this way have to have some blood of their brothers on their hands, such as the final winner of the Nine Dragons’ Succession War, Yongzheng, and of course the initiator of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin.

Of course, Liu Xing felt that the starting point of the third prince was good at that time, but like his father, the new dragon emperor, he gave his children some bold ideas, that is, he felt that he could also become his father’s heir, and then he started to work hard for this goal. . . However, some people began to think about how to overtake on the curve after working hard for a period of time, and finally inevitably went astray, and even had some bold ideas, such as directly using physical means to eliminate other threatening competitors, then wouldn’t they be stable?

If you go a step further, you have to be Thanos.

But then again, the battle for the throne of the Nine Dragons in this martial arts module actually started with the open and secret struggles between the eldest and second princes. Although the other princes also wanted to be emperors, they all felt that they were not as good as their eldest and second brothers, so these princes either chose to be a bystander or to support their eldest or second brothers.

But many years passed like this, and the new dragon emperor did not clearly state who his successor was. In addition, the eldest and second princes were a little impatient and made some mistakes in these years, so the fourth and seventh princes felt that they could do it, so they also joined the battle for the throne.

As time went on, more and more princes joined the battlefield, and now even the third prince, who had never thought of competing for the throne, has passively begun to get ready.

In the home of the third prince, the second prince, like the third prince, did not want to participate in it, but was dragged into it by several other princes and his own subordinates. Because the eldest prince was not at home all year round, the second prince was almost the eldest son in the palace, so he got most of the love from his family. In addition, the third prince was also well-educated, so the second prince was used to not fighting or competing, anyway, the things he liked would eventually come to his hands.

More importantly, the second prince's mother was a little cautious and even a little timid in character, so she didn't want her son to compete with the eldest son for the position of heir, because the three words "eldest son" alone were worth a thousand gold, which was about the same as you could start a full armor AK in the pistol game, and you wore a three-piece suit before the canyon soldiers came out. As long as the operation was not too outrageous, it would be a sure win.

So the second prince didn't think about becoming the heir of the third prince at the beginning, but just honestly did what he should do, and as a result, his first son was gone.

Of course, the point here is not that the second son's first son died, but that there is a rumor that the reason for this is that the eldest son did something behind the scenes.

You should know that in this martial arts module where gods exist, the so-called witchcraft disasters are real and effective. For example, the great Gray King can help you get rid of an enemy quietly.
