The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 215 Inheritance Law

When Shangguan Qing and Chu Qianhan returned home, they wanted to rest for a while, but they saw Sun Qu waiting in the gatehouse in the hands of the servant. Sun Qu greeted Shangguan Qing first, and then said to Chu Qianhan: "Your Majesty wants the prince to enter the palace. Talk about the marriage proposed by you and Shangguan."

"Lead the way." Chu Qianhan immediately agreed, and before going out, Shangguanqing showed a reassuring smile.

Following Sun Qu into the palace, they came to Dong Nuan Pavilion, which was temporarily used as the imperial study, and saw a few brothers kneeling in a row outside, the leader was the fourth prince Chu Qiankang, and then from six to sixteen, all of them were here.

The sixth prince, Chu Qianyun, had a leg injury, and was given a cushion to cover it by the emperor.

Only then did Chu Qianhan ask, "What's the matter?"

"The old slave dare not say it." Sun Qu quickly walked a few steps and pushed open the door of the outer room of Dong Nuan Pavilion, inviting Chu Qianhan to enter.

Chu Qianhan looked at his brother again, before stepping into the room, he smelled a strong sandalwood scent when he entered the room, he didn't like this smell.

Entering the back room, Chu Qianhan sat cross-legged on the heating kang, beckoning Chu Qianhan to sit down.

Chu Huaitian took a memorial to Chu Qianhan and said, "Look at it first."

Chu Qianhan took a quick look at the content, this is a joint memorial written by the brothers, please Chu Huaitian to establish a prince early, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world.

Chu Huaitian asked without waiting for Chu Qianhan to put down the memorial, "What do you think?"

Chu Qianhan didn't think it was a big deal, he thought for a while and said: "There are two solutions, one is to pass the "Inheritance Act" to discharge all the lineages of the clan, according to the blood relationship with the father, five hundred The first heir is modified according to life and death, and everything depends on blood."

"This method is good." Chu Huaitian nodded repeatedly.

"Second brother and I quit voluntarily. We don't need to be counted. Now the fourth is ranked first, and the sixth is second." Chu Qianhan immediately cleared himself.

Chu Huaitian shook his head and said nothing, he was not dissatisfied with Chu Qiankang, but worried about Chu Qianyun.

Chu Qianhan continued: "The second method is to establish a crown prince in secret. The emperor can write the designated heir on the imperial decree, divide it into two parts and carry them with you and put them under the dragon chair in the hall. When a certain day comes, all the ministers Open two imperial edicts to confirm that the prince will succeed to the throne."

Chu Huaitian tapped his fingers on the table, he didn't want that day to come.

Chu Qianhan thought for a while and then said: "Father can also announce that he will abdicate at the age of 60. As long as father sits in the throne as the Supreme Emperor, the new emperor will not do anything out of line. The ancestral precept of abdicating the throne before the age of one is for future generations to emulate."

"Why?" Chu Huaitian was a little puzzled.

"Old people are suspicious. Look at the Emperor Daxing and he will know soon." Chu Qianhan was talking about his grandfather, because his grandfather was old and suspicious, and he killed many ministers by mistake. Therefore, Chu Huai had the opportunity to come from behind and become The emperor of Great Chu.

"I won't do that." Chu Huaitian muttered.

Chu Qianhan acted as if he didn't hear it, he knew that his father was attached to power and position, so he didn't want to stay in the capital. His father was still in his prime, and he was a super strong man. It would not be a problem to live for a hundred years. Is he going to be the prince for decades, and then suffocate himself to death?Chu Qianhan would never be such a fool.

"I think about it." Chu Huaitian fell into deep thought and began to weigh Chu Qianhan's plan. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Which one do you like?"

"To choose a relative, I naturally choose the eighth child."

"What about selecting talents?" Chu Huaitian asked.

"It doesn't matter who you choose, I think the brothers are all pretty good." Chu Qianhan obviously favored the eighth prince, Chu Qiansi, and he was not afraid of Chu Huaitian's suspicion because Chu Qiansi was his own younger brother.

The father and son talked for a while, and Chu Qianhan remembered what Shangguan Qing said when talking about history: "As long as there is a stable legal system, even if the descendants are incompetent, the dynasty can continue for a period of time, especially if it is as stable as Chu State." It is not impossible for a great country that has ruled the world for 500 years to come back to life."

After hearing this, Chu Huaitian decided to promulgate the "Inheritance Act".

Chu Huaitian asked Sun Qu to call all the princes in, and announced the succession law in front of everyone. According to the order of blood, Chu Qianshui is the first heir, and Chu Qianhan is the second heir. Then there are Chu Qiankang, Chu Qianyun and the sixteenth prince Chu Qianping.

Chu Huaitian announced: "I will let the clan's mansion exclude [-] heirs in order of blood. From now on, the heirs will be determined according to the rank of blood. You don't have to quarrel anymore. If you work hard, the court will not treat you badly."

The princes present were all dumbfounded.

Chu Qianhan took a step forward and said, "I voluntarily give up my inheritance rights."

The brothers were excited, and they all secretly looked at the brothers who ranked higher than them, as long as the one above them died, the throne would be theirs.

"If I find out who murdered my brother, I will be permanently deprived of the right of inheritance. There is no need for solid evidence. As long as there is suspicion, the right of inheritance will be deprived. If I want to get back the right of inheritance, I must prove my innocence by myself."

After Chu Huaitian finished speaking, he waved away people.

"Go down, I'm tired."

When Chu Qianhan returned home, he told Shangguan Qing what had happened. Shangguan Qing thought about it and said, "Look, there will be chaos in the court in a few days."

"It won't take a few days, and it will be noisy tonight."

Just like what Chu Qianhan said, those princes and ministers would not wait for the New Year's Grand Meeting to take action, and the careerists took action that night.

According to the inheritance law announced by Chu Huaitian, after Chu Qianshui and Chu Qianhan withdrew, the fourth prince, Chu Qiankang, became the first heir in line, and the fourth prince's mansion suddenly became crowded.

Chu Qiankang noticed something was wrong, and announced to close the door to thank the guests, and all the visitors disappeared.

Chu Qianyun, who was second in order, also closed the door to thank guests, citing illness as an excuse, and did not see any visitors. The seventh prince, Chu Qianfeng, who seemed to appear suddenly, was very active, and the house was very lively with welcoming guests every day.

On the day of the New Year's Grand Court Meeting, Shangguan Qing changed into a dark red court dress and went into the palace to preside over the wives paying homage to the Empress Dowager and Empress. Before going out, she saw Chu Qianhan wearing casual clothes, drinking tea leisurely.Shangguan Qing asked: "Will the third brother not enter the palace?"

Chu Qianhan put down his teacup and said, "Nominally, I'm in Qiongya Junzhou now. I won't participate in the messy things in the court hall. Be careful, the court hall must be lively today."

"You shouldn't have given His Majesty such an idea."

"I understand that breaking the old order will inevitably cause chaos, because everyone will think that they see an opportunity, don't talk about it, go back early."

"understood."

Shangguan Qing went out to get into the sedan chair, and she was thinking of how to slip away early all the way, and she didn't want to participate in the open and secret fights in the court, it was too low-end and too boring.
