“Mr. Shen, this is Mr. Ma, the chief steward of the palace. You guys want to talk first.
I'll go to the imperial kitchen to see if there are any new pastries. "
The strength of the early stage of Linghe Realm, which is the beginning of the fifth level of Snow Realm.
Seeing Eunuch Ma coming, Shen Han could see his strength at a glance.
The second prince on the other side got up and left the courtyard.
Although he is not very popular, he does not need to go there personally to carry two plates of cakes.
Speaking of it, he mainly wanted to create an environment for Shen Han and Ma Gonggong to talk.
"Isn't he from Daewoo, sir?"
Lao Nu still knows about the powerful men at the peak of the Spiritual God Realm, who have some reputation. "
This Mr. Ma’s posture is very low.
In front of Shen Han, he still calls himself a slave.
“As my father-in-law said, I am not from Dayu.
The reason why I want to approach His Highness is to seek the qualification to go to the former residence of Immortal Tianheng. "
Shen Han was very honest and did not hide anything.
What you want is stated directly from the beginning.
Hearing Shen Han's words, Ma Gonggong couldn't help but glance at Shen Han.
“With the eldest princess and the eldest prince, even if you take refuge and can take on important tasks, it is indeed difficult for you to get this quota.
From this point of view, it is a wise choice to come to Rongxing.
It’s just that this step may be difficult.
You may even lose your life. "
Mr. Ma’s expression is serious, and his voice is not that sharp, which does not fit the stereotype of an eunuch.
“The road to spiritual practice is more than a little dangerous. If you look forward and backward, you may not be able to accomplish anything.”
After Shen Han finished speaking, Ma Gonggong's face obviously had a smile on his face.
“It’s really inspiring for Mr. Shen to say this.
I just hope that this old slave has not misjudged the person. You are not sent here by the eldest princess or the eldest prince. "
Mr. Ma said with a bit of joking.
Hearing these words, Shen Han could feel the uneasiness in his heart.
To some extent, I still have some concerns.
“Mr. Shen should have heard some gossip before he came here.
It is said in Beijing that behind the second prince, there is an old slave.
In those words, I am afraid it is inevitable that the old slave will harm the country and the people. "
Shen Han looked at Eunuch Ma without any scruples and asked directly.
“My father-in-law supports the second prince because he wants to support a puppet as the people said?”
When this question came up, Ma Gonggong couldn't help but smile.
“The common people heard the drama too much and began to take it seriously.
How can governing a country be so easy and carefree? Firstly, the old slave has no such ability, and secondly, he does not want to find some hard work for himself.
Mr. Shen speaks directly, and Lao Nu doesn’t want to talk about convoluted things. "
Hearing what Eunuch Ma said, Shen Han couldn't help but ask.
“Then I don’t know if Eunuch Ma supports the second prince. What do you ask for?”
What do you ask for? There is really no cover in this question.
“No one may believe it if I say it. I do this for the sake of the well-being of the country and the peace of my family and country.”
After finishing speaking, looking at the confusion on Shen Han's face, Ma Gonggong continued to speak.
“When the old slave was young, he was the most handsome young man in our village. The days at that time were as sweet as drinking a sip of river water.
When he was only fourteen years old, war broke out in Daewoo.
People in troubled times are not as good as dogs in prosperous times. It is lucky that the old slave can go to Beijing and become an eunuch.
Others may have starved to death long ago.”
Ma Gonggong stood up and walked two steps in the courtyard.
“The old slave was physically disabled and suffered a great disaster, but he did not want the younger generations of Daewoo to experience the same suffering again.
The second prince ascends the throne, which can avoid war as much as possible.
Moreover, the second prince promised the old slave that if he ascended the throne, he would no longer recruit eunuchs in the palace.
No more men in the future generation will suffer this shameful punishment. "
There was a hint of seriousness in Shen Han's eyes.
I have thought about it a lot before, but I never expected that this Ma Gong would say such a thing.
The emergence of eunuchs was actually the need of the emperor in the dynasty.
The emperor needs some people. He cannot establish his own power. He has no descendants and can only rely on the king.
At the same time, some affairs in the palace require men, and removing the foundation can prevent them from causing trouble in the harem.
The emergence of eunuchs has its reasons.
But it has indeed contributed to the miserable life of many people.
“People like us have been slaves all our lives. We just hope that fewer people will follow in this footsteps.”
These words that Mr. Ma said really surprised Shen Han.
It is very inconsistent with the inherent impression of eunuchs as a group.
Shen Han did not continue to ask whether this Mr. Ma had such a character. It was meaningless to hear him say it. It had to be seen what he would do.
It’s just that I was indeed affected by some prejudice, and subconsciously, I also felt that this father-in-law wanted to control the situation of the court.
The two sat down and continued talking.
Behind the eldest princess and the eldest prince, there are some noble interests pushing behind them.
No matter who of the two of them comes to power, it means they will carry out a wave of looting of the other party's forces.
The second prince does not need it, he only needs to continue to balance the domestic forces of Dayu Kingdom like the old king.
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Ma chose to stand behind the second prince.
“The king is hanging on to his life, watching the final storm.
Others think the second prince is hopeless, but in fact, we still have a chance.
When the time comes, people from the Plum Blossom Building will come here to witness. The position of the leader of the country is still uncertain. "
The two of them finished what they needed to say, and then Eunuch Ma called the second prince in.
And tell him what Shen Han wants.
Of course the second prince doesn't mind the quota to go to the immortal's former residence.
If he can be supported to ascend to the throne, it doesn't matter if the next ten years are given to Shen Han.
In the next few days, Shen Han stayed in a restaurant in the capital.
According to Ma Gonggong, in a few days, it will be the moment that determines success or failure.
During his break, Shen Han borrowed some martial arts books from the second prince to study.
It’s not that I want to learn any profound skills from it.
I am now in the second level of Immortal Realm.
These Kung Fu books do not have much meaning for me to learn.
It's just that you can feel it yourself and see what special mysteries there are in the skills of this world.
In the next few days, Shen Han stayed in the restaurant and did not go out.
Just stay in the house and read these exercises books.
The exercises books I borrowed are all very basic.
Compared to those exercises spread in the Wei Dynasty, this system in Heyuan Continent seems to place special emphasis on physical training.
Of course, physical training is the foundation of everything. If your physical fitness is insufficient, it will be difficult to improve other practices.
Shen Han did not say that body training was wrong.
Comparatively speaking, the Heyuan Continent attaches great importance to physical training, but does not pay so much attention to the state of mind.
The skills and moves are also based on the breakthrough of Qi and blood.
The path to promotion is likely to be quite different from that of the Wei Dynasty.
After almost understanding it, Shen Han stopped looking at these basic classics.
I was not originally on this path of cultivation, so it seemed to be of little significance. But in his heart, Shen Han also gained a lot of enlightenment.
There are many, many differences on the path of spiritual practice under the old system.
In the end, they can all reach the rumored first-level realm.
There is a sense of reaching the same destination through different paths.
After resting in the restaurant for three days, Shen Han received a message from Ma Gonggong.
There is a banquet held in the palace today, and Shen Han is invited to attend it.
That big event will also be announced tonight.
After receiving the news, Shen Han went directly to the second prince's courtyard without hesitation.
There is a banquet in the palace, and Mr. Ma, as the general manager, still has some things to do.
Besides Shen Han, there were two other people in the yard.
They should be other people under the second prince's command. Shen Han nodded to the two of them.
The two of them also nodded to show their goodwill.
It's just that there was still a hint of worry hidden in the eyes of the two of them, as if they were a little anxious.
In the evening, Shen Han followed the second prince and walked towards the northeast side of the palace.
During the journey, Shen Han saw the eldest prince.
Behind the second prince, there were only three people, Shen Han.
And the eldest prince was actually accompanied by more than ten people.
When they saw the second prince, the followers behind him directly released their own power.
The strength at the peak of the Spiritual God Realm, that is, the peak of the sixth level.
Being like this in front of the second prince, the provocation is obvious.
The second prince was good at forbearing and bowed his head to his elder brother.
The eldest prince led the people across without even looking at his younger brother.
As we walked in, we saw the words Yuancui Palace on the plaque on the head of the main hall.
This is where the royal family gathers for banquets.
There are already many desks placed on both sides of the palace.
Followers like Shen Han naturally sit in the back.
In the center of the main hall, there is a desk alone, which is the seat of the old emperor.
After entering the Yuancui Palace, the little **** inside led the way and led everyone to sit where they should sit.
The second prince’s power only occupies four positions in total.
At the First Prince’s side, there were too many people, and many had to sit very far back.
It was almost Xu time, and the banquet was about to begin, and the eldest princess arrived belatedly.
If it were any later, I might appear even later than the old emperor.
Compared to the eldest prince, the eldest princess is completely different. She only brought one person with her.
Looking at his attire, he looks like a guard.
Shen Han looked at the faces of the others and seemed to feel a little weird when his eyes fell on this guard.
The eldest prince had a casual expression before, but when he saw this guard, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
The second prince was in a similar situation, his face also became ugly.
At the time of Xu, with the support of Ma Gonggong, the old emperor walked into Yuancui Palace with a smile on his face.
Beside the old emperor, there was a woman dressed in luxurious clothes.
The woman looks quite young and of the younger generation.
It was just that in front of Emperor Dayu, there was no hint of humility or weakness.
If nothing else, her status should be pretty good.
“People from Meihualou”
The man sitting next to Shen Han whispered something, and his expression became more serious.
Meihua Tower, Shen Han had seen the name of this sect in general books before.
This sect is very powerful. It has had good relations with Dayu Country for many years and is the backer of Dayu Country.
Let the people from Meihua Building come to observe today. We are indeed going to announce something important today.
“Miss Sixuan, please come in as a distinguished guest. Please forgive me for any lack of hospitality.”
“Your Majesty, you treat Sixuan favorably in everything, there is nothing wrong with it.”
With a polite word, the woman named Sixuan sat on the right hand side of the old monarch and entered the VIP table.
From the moment she entered Yuancui Tower, her eyes kept looking at the eldest princess's guards.
He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
The guard brought by the eldest princess seems to be a bit unusual.
While everyone was sitting down, the palace servants began to bring dishes one after another.
It is naturally an excellent product to be able to host a banquet with guests.
It’s just that these high-ranking people are not very enthusiastic about this appetite, or they are tired of it.
In my mind, I am thinking about my own big things.
Invited to raise a glass, after three rounds, we started to talk about business.
“Gu Xin’s health is getting worse and worse.”
In the opening sentence, both the eldest prince and the second prince opened their mouths and said some nice words, such as good health and longevity.
The eldest princess said nothing and just listened.
With this sentence, he should be talking about the succession of the throne.
Everyone was also more serious, waiting for the old king's explanation.
“Gu himself knows his own body, he has taken so many pills, and he has been able to survive those **** years.
Now speaking of it, it is enough. "
The old king said, looking a little more serious.
“Miss Sixuan, when I invite you here today, I actually want you to help me bear witness to Dayu Country.
These children in Gu Gu all have some abilities.
If they take over the government, the future of Dayu will be good.
It’s just that a country has only one master. "
The old king stood up slowly and looked at everyone.
“I have already written the edict and placed it in the ancestral courtyard.
Whoever the throne of the country is passed to, you should take it yourselves and make it known to the world.
Just before you go, you three children should sign this promise-keeping booklet.
Which of you will be the leader of the country, the other two must agree.
You all know what it means to sign a promise letter, so I won’t say more. "
Ma Gonggong, who was standing next to the old ruler, was holding a scroll and asked everyone to sign and write their names.
The eldest prince paused and signed his name without much hesitation.
When the scroll was presented to the eldest princess, she seemed reluctant to pick up the pen.
“Princess, please take the trouble to sign it.”
Mr. Ma nodded his head, respectfully and politely.
While hesitating, the eldest princess turned her head and looked at the guard beside her.
The guard nodded, and then the eldest princess signed her name.
The second prince had no hesitation. If there was a real competition of strength, he would have no hope.
In this case, there is still a slight chance.
Looking at the three children signing the promise-keeping letter, the old king found an excuse and left the Yuancui Palace.
After he left, others became more talkative and communicated better.
The girl Sixuan from Meihua Tower held a glass of wine in her hand, stood up slowly, and walked towards the eldest princess.
It's just that she is not looking for the eldest princess, but the guard beside her. (End of chapter)
