Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 3: Establishing a permanent successor?Then let's establish a virtuous person
clatter!clatter!
Four tall and handsome dragon-blooded horses were pulling a luxury carriage running at low speed on the street. The horses' hooves collided with the bluestone ground, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.

There was a team of elite cavalry guarding the carriage on both sides.

Yin Qi sat in the carriage, which felt like a room, with demon sheepskin under his feet and a desk in the middle with exquisite refreshments and fresh spiritual fruits on it.

Two young girls were kneeling in front of the desk, one peeling the spirit fruit and the other brewing the spirit tea.

Yin Qi secretly sighed, this life is really luxurious.

He opened the brocade curtain of the car window and looked at the center of the world. There were tall buildings on both sides of the street, shops lined up, flags fluttering, and pedestrians passing by.

Fortunately, the street was wide enough, hundreds of meters long, so his carriage could pass without disturbing pedestrians.

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of the palace.

The imperial palace of the Great Shang Dynasty was vast and majestic. The palace city alone was nearly a hundred meters high, and it was filled with guards.

Without accepting any interrogation, the carriage drove straight into the palace.

Only when you enter the palace can you feel the grandeur of the Shang Dynasty.

The palace is extremely luxurious, even the ground is paved with white marble, and it is engraved with all kinds of mysterious runes.These runes are connected together and are not only part of the palace protection formation, but can also prevent people from using various escape techniques to enter the palace.

After passing through many palaces, Yin Qi came to Zichen Palace.

He stood outside the palace, and the chamberlain went in to report.

Soon, the chamberlain came out quickly and said respectfully at the top of his voice: "Your Highness, the king invites you to come in."

Yin Qi nodded and strode into the hall.

……

Zichen Hall was where Emperor Yi worked, and he often summoned ministers to discuss matters here.

The weather outside the palace is cold, but inside the palace it is as warm as spring.

When Yin Qi walked into the main hall, he saw Emperor Yi sitting behind the imperial desk.

Emperor Yi is an old man with a majestic face, with white beard and hair. He wears a white royal robe embroidered with black birds, a gold and jade crown on his head, and his eyes are open and closed with the magnanimity to speak of the world.

Yin Qi stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "My son, I pay my respects to my father."

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Di Yi said in a gentle voice: "My son is here, what can I do?"

The Human Emperor has the majestic demeanor of a Human Emperor, but in front of Yin Qi, he is still very gentle and kind, because he loves this eldest son very much, and he is all top-notch in terms of talent, ability, and conduct.

Yin Qi's face was full of solemnity and he said seriously: "My son, I have come here for the title of crown prince."

Di Yi groaned, a light flashed in his eyes, but his voice remained gentle: "Have you figured it out and are you willing to quit?"

Regarding the position of the prince, whether to establish an elder or to establish a direct descendant, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have been arguing for a long time.

He himself also had a headache and couldn't make a choice.

The eldest son Yin Qi is gentle, elegant, talented, talented, and capable, and has high prestige among the people.

If he inherits the throne, he will definitely be a promising and benevolent king in the future.

The youngest son, Yin Shou, was extremely talented in martial arts. He had already entered the realm of heaven at a young age. He was also familiar with the art of war and proficient in riding and archery. He was a very good general.

If Yin Shou succeeded to the throne, it might be possible to save the declining Shang Dynasty.

Yesterday at the court meeting, Tai Shigong scolded Yin Qi in the palace, causing Yin Qi to hide his face and retreat. Emperor Yi was very worried about this, so he sent someone to visit, but he heard that Yin Qi had passed away drunk.

Therefore, when he saw Yin Qi coming now, he thought it was to withdraw from the fight for the crown prince's position.

After all, with Yin Qi's character and demeanor, it is very possible for him to be humble.

Yin Qi bowed and said seriously: "No. On the contrary, I am here for the position of prince." The position of prince is a matter of state, and Emperor Yi also put away his gentle look.

His eyes were piercing and he said in a deep voice: "Do you want me to make you the crown prince?"

Yin Qi's whole body tensed up, feeling the pressure coming from his face.

His voice was sonorous and he said sternly: "Father, the position of the emperor is related to the world and the country, with billions of people. How can I be willful and ask my father to make my son a prince? It's just that I feel that since my father is difficult to When it comes to making a decision, I don’t know whether to establish an elder or a direct descendant, so why not change it to establish a virtuous one? In this way, no matter who is the prince, it will be a blessing to the country."

"Oh!"

A light flashed in Di Yi's eyes. He became interested and said, "How to establish a virtuous person?"

Yin Qi said loudly: "My father is the Human Emperor and has been in charge of the world for 27 years. I think I know best what abilities are needed to be a human emperor. Therefore, I suggested that my father can assess us and select the best. So. It can not only select the best heir, but also preserve our brotherhood, and the loser will be convinced."

Di Yi looked at Yin Qi and was quite surprised.

Because being so competitive is not Yin Qi's character. Could it be that someone is pushing him from behind?
However, if you think carefully about Yin Qi's suggestion, it might be a good idea.

As the human emperor, he naturally wanted to choose the best successor.

However, it was impossible for him to agree on the spot. He had to discuss it with several ministers, so he nodded slowly and said: "I have written down your suggestion. If there is nothing else, please go down first."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

Yin Qi bowed and turned around to leave.

Of course he knew that such a major matter related to the country's foundation could not be determined immediately, but Emperor Yi would definitely adopt it in the end, because Emperor Yi was a promising king who knew how to choose the best for the country and the country.

Even if Emperor Yi loves Yin Shou more, he will still give priority to reason in front of Jiangshan Sheji.

The seeds have been planted, and the next step is to wait for them to blossom and bear fruit.

Yin Qi still didn't believe it. He had all the heavens as his resources, but in the end he couldn't compete with Yin Shou.

Not long after Yin Qi left, the light in front of the imperial case rippled, and three middle-aged men wearing brocade robes appeared. One of them actually had a vertical line on his forehead, like a closed eye.

These three people were none other than Grand Master Wen Zhong, Prime Minister Shang Rong, and Grand Tutor Bigan.

Previously, the three of them were discussing the matter of the crown prince with Emperor Yi. They had already decided to make Yin Shou the crown prince, but they did not expect to hear Yin Qi coming. Because they guessed Yin Qi's intention, they became invisible.

I originally thought that Yin Qi was here to show humility, but he didn't expect that he was actually here to compete for the crown prince's position.

This behavior was completely contrary to Yin Qi's past character.

Di Yi said in a deep voice: "Three beloved ladies, what do you think of this matter?"

Wen Zhong and the other three looked at each other, lowering their eyebrows in thought.

After a long time, Wen Zhong was the first to say: "Your Majesty, I think His Highness King Qi's words are reasonable. Since we don't know whether to establish an elder or a direct descendant, it's better to establish a virtuous one. Who can become the prince depends entirely on his ability."

Shang Rong nodded slowly: "I think it's okay. It's just that His Highness King Qi's performance today is really unexpected."

Bigan praised the passage: "Yes, Wei Ziqi has a reputation as a virtuous man. He is so determined to fight for the position of prince, which shows how strong his mind is. I thought that I could choose the best among them as he said, and in this way I could calm down the ministers. quarrel.”

Di Yi nodded slowly and asked: "Then how should the assessment be conducted? Also, is it just the two of them, or should Yan'er also be included in the assessment?"

Bigan said quickly: "Brother, you must not do it. Wei Ziyan is neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son. If he is included in the assessment, it will not only be against etiquette and law, but also lay the foundation for future generations. After all, this assessment is also An act of desperation.”

In history, there are almost no cases like Yin Qi and Yin Shou.

Brothers from the same mother are actually divided into direct concubines.

If establishing a worthy person becomes a common practice, the battle for the right to inherit the throne will be extremely cruel in future generations.

Not only will it cause a human tragedy of brothers killing each other, it will also cause turmoil in the world and make the people suffer.

Wen Zhong and Shang Rong both nodded and agreed with what Bigan said.
