There is a book in my Dantian

In the Chen family mansion, in the meeting hall!

"Yes!" Nodding to Chen Yuhui, who expressed his loyalty, Chen Hao raised his head and glanced at everyone in the hall, especially Chen Yuwei, who had just been appointed as the great elder, and continued.

"In four more days, Daqin University will hold the Yuleilongmen Competition. If I can pass the preliminaries, semi-finals and finals and become a student of Daqin University, then during the period when I am away from my family, the second elder Chen Yu Hui exercises the rights of the patriarch on my behalf and takes charge of all affairs of the family. In an emergency, he can use the two voting rights belonging to the patriarch!"

"This...!" After hearing Chen Hao's new appointment, Chen Yuhui was no longer excited, but a little scared.

Being able to be honored as the elder of the clan and the second-ranked elder was far beyond his expectations and made him uncontrollably excited. But now he is allowed to exercise the power of the clan leader on his behalf and has three voting rights. , the power is second only to Chen Hao, and far exceeds that of the Great Elder Chen Yuwei. How can this not make him feel panic, how can it not make him at a loss.

Compared with Chen Yuhui's panic and confusion, Chen Yuwei, who had just been appointed as the great elder, suddenly felt his pride drop to the bottom.

With his outstanding wisdom, he quickly guessed Chen Hao's intentions. When he saw that he was using the group of elders to limit the power of the patriarch, he was also using Chen Yuhui to limit his own power.

At this time, Chen Yuwei not only felt unintentionally disappointed, but also felt a sense of fear in his heart!

Chen Hao not only has super martial arts talent and outstanding alchemy talent, but also is not inferior to himself in wisdom and layout. How can this not make him feel scared?

More importantly, Chen Hao's next appointment forced him to put an end to some of his unrealistic ideas.

"Chen Yujun, the master of Xuanwu Hall, is not only powerful and talented, but also loyal to the family. He is now the third elder and has one vote!"

"Deputy Hall Master Chen Xuanwu is approaching the position of Master of Xuanwu Hall!"

"What!" Seeing that the second elder was not only defeated, but would even be reduced to an alchemy master working for the family in the future, Chen Yujun, the leader of the Xuanwu Hall, was completely disheartened and planned to accept Chen Hao's punishment.

But what he didn't expect was that not only did Chen Hao not punish him, but he directly promoted him to the third-ranked inner clan elder. This didn't surprise him.

"Maybe you don't want to!" Seeing Chen Yujun who was in shock, Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"My subordinates obey!" Chen Hao's rhetorical question made Chen Yujun suddenly wake up. He knew that Chen Hao's order just now was not a joke. He quickly got up and walked to the middle of the hall. Not only was his attitude unusually respectful, but his tone was trembling as he thanked him. : "Subordinate, I would like to thank the clan leader for your respect. I will definitely be the clan leader and will dedicate myself to the clan until death!"

Seeing the extremely excited Chen Yujun, the Great Elder Chen Yuwei could no longer control the frightened expression on his face.

He knew that his intention to use the elders to restrict Chen Hao's rights was not only discovered by Chen Hao, but also completely angered him. This was not only his counterattack, a restriction on himself, but also a warning to himself.

Chen Changping, who was sitting in the second row, smiled knowingly and looked at Chen Hao with eyes filled with admiration.

"Yes!" Nodding to Chen Yujun, Chen Hao continued to announce the next candidate for the elder.

"Chen Yuqing, the leader of the Foreign Affairs Hall, is powerful, talented, and loyal to the family. He is now the fourth elder of the family!"

"My subordinates obey your orders, and I would like to thank the clan leader for your respect!"

"Chen Yufeng, the master of Fengge Hall, is powerful, talented, and loyal to the family. He is now the fifth elder of the family!"

"My subordinates obey your orders, and I would like to thank the clan leader for your respect!"

"…!"

"…!"

Next, Chen Hao announced four more inner clan elders, including the first elder Chen Yuwei, the second elder Chen Yuhui, the third elder Chen Yujun, the fourth elder Chen Yuqing, the fifth elder Chen Yuguan, the new The Board of Elders was established.

Among the nine elders, except for Chen Yuwei, Chen Yuhui, and Chen Yujun, who are members of the direct clan, the remaining six elders are all collateral clan members.

After this appointment of the elders and the comprehensive suppression of the first elder Chen Yuwei, Chen Hao can basically be regarded as truly controlling the Chen family.

As for his biological aunt Chen Yuxi, Chen Hao did not punish her for killing her or dumping her body, but he also did not take care of her, and still let her act in front of her as the master of the Suzaku Hall.

However, facing many people who were originally inferior to her and becoming elders and hall masters one after another, Chen Yuxi's mentality changed. When she looked at Chen Hao, there were no complicated emotions in her eyes, but only endless resentment.

Chen Hao didn't care at all about this.

When he leaves the family, he will ask Chen Yuhui to take care of Chen Yuxi more on weekdays. She must be hating in her heart but does not have the strength or opportunity to retaliate against him.

"Now that the group of elders has been re-appointed, I will announce a new order." Seeing that the nine inner clan elders were already in place, Chen Hao glanced at Chen Changping and others, stood up and said.

"The elders and hall masters who have stepped down for many years have dedicated their youth and blood to the family. The family must also consider their future lives."

"So I decided that from today onwards, the outgoing elders and hall masters will enjoy the treatment of the serving elders!"

"Thank you for your kindness, patriarch!" Seeing that Chen Hao had not forgotten them, the remaining eight elders, except Chen Changli, stood up and thanked him in unison.

And the great elder Chen Yuwei looked at Chen Changping and others with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Although they had resigned from the position of elder, they still held great power, especially when they joined forces with the strong men in the body refining period, they had the right to dismiss the patriarch.

Now, they can only enjoy the best treatment, but they have no power at all, and will not have any impact on Chen Hao's status!

At this moment, Chen Yuwei was no longer just afraid of Chen Hao, but also had a little admiration in his heart.

"As for how the family should develop next, and how to face the Ouyang family, the Xiong family that left Fuyang City, and the attitude of the Yue Kingdom royal family, I will decide what to do after discussing with the nine elders!"

...!

After taking office as the patriarch and leaving the meeting hall, Chen Hao neither went to the courtyard that originally belonged to the patriarch, nor returned to the courtyard before he was abolished, but directly moved into Chen Yuao's alchemy room.

Chen Yuao's alchemy room not only has a beautiful environment and abundant spiritual energy, but also the earth's core fire vein is a treasure that can help improve cultivation.

He plans to use the earth's core fire vein to further enhance the quality and strength of his body, further temper the spiritual power in the dantian, and further improve his strength, so as to make adequate preparations for the next fish leaping dragon gate competition.

Unfortunately, just when he had just started his plan using the earth's core fire vein, the great elder Chen Yuwei brought eight elders to the door, intending to discuss with him the future development ideas of the family and the personnel arrangements for some positions.

Although he was very helpless about this, his duties as the patriarch forced him to temporarily leave the alchemy room and offer suggestions for the family's major plans.

Based on some national development plans learned in the previous life, and combined with some special circumstances of the God and Demon Continent, Chen Hao explained his general ideas about the development of the family to the nine elders, and then became a hands-off shopkeeper. Not only did he not care about any family affairs, but he also hid directly in the alchemy room to retreat.

Although the nine elders of the inner clan felt helpless about Chen Hao's decision to become a hands-off manager, they did not try to persuade him too much. Instead, they excitedly began to discuss the major plans for the development of the family.
