It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 9 A Dirty Deal
Hey!
Is this a red wish?

If I remember correctly, the red wish should correspond to a level of [-] comprehension points.

Zhao Ci was a little surprised. Zhao Huan, an old man, didn't know how much I weighed, and he actually wanted me to open a mansion?
Dayu's "Kai Fu" is somewhat close to the "Kai Fu" of previous generations, but not exactly the same.

In ancient times, the opening of a government office was like that of Tiance General Li Er. Opening a government office was equivalent to establishing a small court and appointing officials and subordinates on their own. It was the privilege of ministers with the highest level of power.

Dayu Kaifu also recruited officials on its own, but the grades were completely different and could only be given the lowest official positions.

Any member of the royal family in Beijing who is over [-] years old can open a palace, from the prince to the prince to the prince. They can recruit officials from major families and peers with scientific achievements, and then enter the grassroots work. , leading the tasks issued by the four ministries of household, work, criminal justice, and military affairs to accumulate merit.

The achievements accumulated during this period can be exchanged for extremely rich training resources, and in the end they can even be exchanged for core official positions in Linge and major family territories.

The Kaifu system has existed since the founding of Dayu and played a great role in the development of Dayu.

First, the Kaifu system is equivalent to a youth training camp. Those who can rise from the grassroots level have excellent government affairs capabilities.

Second, Dayu's territory was surrounded by powerful enemies, and the stability of the frontier relied heavily on the vassal towns of the seven meritorious families. Each of the vassal towns had great power in the local area. Although the frontier was stabilized, they all had the potential to break the soil and seal the king.

In order to limit their power, the royal family will designate direct descendants of the seven major families to study in the Dayu Academy every year. However, they are actually used as hostages, but the treatment and atmosphere will be much better, and they have various industries to operate in Linge, so It's quite harmonious.

These people grew up in Linge and studied in the academy organized by the royal family, so they have a strong sense of belonging to the royal family.

Then through the Kaifu system, a community of interests and extremely deep feelings are established with the royal family members. As long as the political performance is sufficient, they can redeem the important positions contributed by each clan to the court according to the rules, and then return to the feudal town to take up their posts, and the corresponding royal family members will contact them.

From generation to generation, the royal family's control lines within the seven major clans are intricately intertwined, and can easily pull and balance the internal strength of the seven major clans.

The feudal lord's fighting power has always been extremely brave, but they do not have the ability to rebel.

And there are a lot of emotional cards in it, plus foreign troubles have always been great, so in the general direction, the seven major clans and the royal family are quite united.

of course!

This has two premises.

The first premise is that the royal family must be filled with talented people.

Therefore, the royal family surnamed Zhao has special papers and the rules of the clan are extremely strict.

It is not that there are bastards like Zhao Ci before, but it is impossible to have any real power, and training resources will be tightened. Even if a king is granted a vassal status, the rank will be downgraded from generation to generation, and he will be demoted to a commoner before the fifth generation.

Even if Zhao Huan doted on Zhao Ci to no end, he could not break this rule, so there was a strange scene where Zhao Ci was clearly favored by the emperor, but looked down upon by many people.

also.

There are just too many talents in the royal family, so we must try our best to dispel their ambitions for the throne, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble.

In this generation, only the fourth prince is an exception.

But there was nothing he could do. That year he opened the palace together with the prince, and he dominated the prince in terms of merit.

and so.

To sum up, opening a mansion is a game played by the elite.

"Why would Zhao Huan, an old man like me, want a loser like me to open a mansion?"

Zhao Ci was really surprised, but thinking about Zhao Yong's behavior today, he seemed to understand something.

This Lao Deng seems to be very eager to attract hatred for himself.

do not care!
Zhao Huan had some surprise on his face: "Ci'er, do you want to open a mansion?"

Zhao Ci made a hesitant look: "I have this idea, but I feel uneasy, so I came to see my father for advice!"

"Actually, it's not difficult to open a mansion!"

Zhao Huan smiled and went through the details about opening a mansion. Most of them were things Zhao Ci already knew, but the process was beautified a lot. It seemed that it was not difficult at all, and there were many benefits.

Zhao Ci was extremely excited when he heard this. He beat his chest and stamped his feet, as if he couldn't wait to reach the peak of his life.

When he heard the end, he couldn't help but said: "Father! Do you think I can do it?"

Zhao Huan looked serious: "You are my son, Zhao Huan! If my son, Zhao Huan, cannot open a mansion, whose son can open a mansion?"

Mom!
Full marks for persuasion!
Zhao Ci nodded: "Which minister wants to open a mansion?"

As if afraid that Zhao Ci would be impulsive.

Zhao Huan asked again: "Ci'er, are you sure?"

Zhao Ci looked serious: "Sure! I must open a mansion. Ever since I was a child, I have been considered by the world to be my father's worst son. They all think that I can't do anything except amuse the birds and walk the dogs!
I don’t want to prove anything to them, I just want to do something for my father!
I just thought about it for a long time after I got home.

Now that you have decided to stay in Linge, you should fulfill your filial piety to your father and share his worries! "

These words made Zhao Ci want to vomit, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart that his acting skills were so good.

Zhao Huan also felt a little distracted after hearing this, and there was actually a look of guilt in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"it is good!"

He stood up suddenly, turned around and looked at the eunuch next to him: "Little plum! Go and post the imperial list outside the palace, and say that Gu's Ci'er is about to open a palace, so aspiring young people in Linge must not miss this recruitment!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Li looked a little strange.Is Zhao Ci going to open a mansion these days?

But he didn't say much and hurriedly left the palace with small steps.

[Tip]: The wish is completed and you will receive rewards: Comprehension value +100, Courage Talisman X1.

[Courage Talisman]: When attached to the target, the target's courage will increase without limit, and the mind will be dominated by courage.

Hey!
Brave Fufu, I like it!
"Ci'er, is there anything else?"

"Go back to Father, there is no more!"

"Then you can go back. After you open the palace, you still need to recruit officials. Dayu has strict rules. Posting an imperial list for your father is already a bit out of line!"

"My son understands, thank you very much, Father!"

"Let's go back!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Ci saluted and was about to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, father, I went to greet my mother and concubine in the morning. I feel that the royal alchemy workshop has a lot to do, but my mother and concubine are working too hard. Can you send more?" Some supplements?”

Zhao Huan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry! I care more about your mother and concubine than you do. Go back!"

New desires arise.

[Zhao Huan’s current wish]: I hope that Gu Xiangzhu can successfully disrupt the situation at the Tribute Pill Conference and open up the situation for the royal family’s pill shop.Reward for wish fulfillment: Comprehension value +1000, Huangji Sanshou.

Ok?
Could it be that Gu Xiangzhu was not busy with the royal alchemy workshop?
and also!

Zhao Huan knows her real name, which means he knows her true identity as a member of the Demon Cult.

Also, how could Zhao Huan, a once-in-a-century hero, not even know the identity of his concubine?

But why would he allow a demon sect woman to take his place as a noble concubine?

Zhao Ci doesn’t understand!
Zhao Huan behaves like a loving father in front of him, an extremely ordinary loving father.

But unfortunately, every one of his actions has an unpredictable feeling.

This is the most terrible.

However, after exploring part of the inside story, he felt much more at ease.

After leaving the imperial study room, he left the palace directly.

When I arrived at the gate, I saw that the wish on Huang Dudu's forehead had changed.

[Huang Dudu’s current wish]: I can’t hold it in any longer and really want to go to the toilet!Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1, Gongfu X1 produced in place.

Good guy!
You know you have a small bladder, but you still finished two bowls of poplar twig nectar?
Zhao Ci went up and patted him on the shoulder: "Old Huang! Where is the toilet, let's go to it together!"

Huang Dushu was extremely excited: "Your Highness! You have a bad memory. I just took you there this morning and you forgot about it in the blink of an eye!"

Zhao Ci: "???"

If it weren't for the sake of showing Gongfu in place, I really wouldn't want to talk to someone with low emotional intelligence like you.

……

The imperial list is posted.

The tenth prince is about to open a mansion, and one stone will stir up a thousand waves.

Zhao Ci has always been favored by the emperor. In the past, when he was not good at writing or martial arts, some people suspected that the emperor was interested in him.

Now, the emperor's list is specially posted to recruit officials for Zhao's resignation.

Everyone can't help but think wildly.

For a time, Lin Ge's undercurrent surged.

The first one affected was Zhao Ci's fake mother-in-law, Gu Xiangzhu.

afternoon.

"Your Majesty! Concubine Jing asks to see you!"

"Let her in!"

After a while.

Gu Xiangzhu walked over.

Zhao Huan immediately dismissed the eunuchs and maids in the imperial study and asked them to close the door.

"Aifei is here!"

"I am coming!"

Gu Xiangzhu's expression was cold: "I can understand that you feel sorry for Zhao Ci and don't want him to become a vassal, but why do you allow him to open a mansion?
He stayed in Linge only to arouse jealousy. He originally influenced me to expand my teaching industry. Now what do you mean by allowing him to open a mansion?
emperor!Have you completely forgotten the trading you and I taught you back then? "
