"Guan Ju...... What a fair lady, a gentleman. Why wasn't this poem written to me? In the back, several princesses circulated Shen Chai's poems to each other.

"It's a pity that my brother is closer to Sister Zixuan, otherwise if you are the first to appear, maybe this is yours. ”

"Champion Hou may not be able to look at it, right?"

"With him in front, I don't think it's okay to look at the back. ”

"Sister, isn't she discouraged? I think that Xu Qingzhi and Wang Shixin are also very good, and if they can make "Night Snow", their talent will definitely not be too bad. ”

"Hey......"

"Guan Ju, this Shen Chase...... It's really a bit talented. Princess Qinghui sat in the elegant living room and said nothing. Now she can't help but admit that Shen Chai does have some talent.

And the rest of the princesses all sighed that all good things were taken up by Zixuan.

After the poem was finished, Ji Zixuan left the venue, and the banquet continued.

Later, princesses continued to come out to show their talents, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or poetry and songs, and even sword dancing to help the fun.

As a royal woman, not everyone is qualified to be a princess or county lord, and once she gets the title, it means that whether it is cultivation talent or talent, she is one in a million.

As soon as these princesses came out, their eyes were on Shen Chai, intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that he would be able to make some more poems.

However, Shen Chai looked at his nose and nose, and pretended to turn a blind eye.

It's not that he can't write, it's that there's no need for it. That bit of inventory, Shen Chai also planned to use it on the blade in the future, and it was impossible to send it out easily.

Besides, if he dares to do it to other princesses again, I'm afraid that Zixuan will kill his own Hou Mansion in minutes. I'm afraid that other scholars will not agree.

Therefore, no matter which princess appeared after that, Shen Chai would always drink and pretend to be stupid. When he met a passionate princess, the hint of naming names, Shen Chai also shirked his inspiration.

made many princesses feel sorry in their hearts.

............

When the private banquet was over, the Seven Princes Ji Chen sent people to send the talented sons back. Before parting, there is naturally a hint.

Since many talented people have agreed to the invitation of the Seventh Prince Ji Chen, this kind of thing naturally does not need to be said, and it is easy to reach some kind of agreement.

Only when he came to Shen Chai, the Seventh Prince personally kept Shen Chai and let Shen Chai stay for a while.

Shen Chai thought for a while, and then agreed.

Ji Chen removed those luxurious treasure decorations, waved away the Venerable maids, didn't even serve wine and food, and invited Shen to catch up and take a seat, and the two sat down opposite each other.

The Seven Princes made a pot of fragrant tea, and then divided the cup with Shen Chai.

This time, the Seventh Prince was not as polite as the first time, and after Shen Chai finished drinking tea, the Seventh Prince sat down and said, "If Brother Shen doesn't mind my abruptness, I want to get straight to the point." ”

When Shen Chai saw that it was so direct, he immediately said solemnly: "Your Highness, it doesn't hurt to say it directly. ”

With the relationship between King Zhao and King Jianhuang, Shen Chai didn't show much life this time.

"I want to help you. Ji Chen said.

"I don't know what His Highness is referring to?" Shen Chai asked quietly.

"Glorify Brother Shen's door. Ji Chen smiled.

Seeing that Ji Chen was so confident, Shen Chai was suddenly a little puzzled, but he still didn't express his position easily, but calmly asked: "Teacher Xiaguan is King Zhao, and Master and I are also Marquis of Wu, not to mention that there is a layer of blood, which is from the Duke of the Kingdom." How will Your Highness enlarge my lintel?"

Ji Chen smiled and shook his head: "These are external forces, not your own status. This is the end of the old Guogong case, and the champion Hou is already an additional compensation. Although Brother Shen is talented, it is difficult to win the throne of the king in a short period of time. ”

"King Zhao is strong, but his gate is not equal to Brother Shen's gate. What's more, now it seems that you have offended the son of the left minister. ”

"Fan Hongyi and I are just a battle of will, how can we offend?" Shen Chai was still calm. He wanted to see how much Ji Chen knew about him.

"I'm afraid Fan Hongyi won't think so. Ji Chen is confident. "With what I know about him, he will not easily go into a fight with others at will, and instigating Zhang Wengu to provoke you in front of the Guanwen Palace, there must be something that can't be dissolved. ”

Shen chased silently, Ji Chen's eyes were indeed vicious, obviously, the Fan family was afraid that they got some rumors, and this is why the Guanwen Hall came out.

"How does Your Highness want to help me?" asked Shen after a moment.

A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Chen's mouth, and he said in a surprising voice: "Ask to marry the princess of the South China Sea for you!"

"Your Highness, this is just the first time I have met the princess......"

Ji Chen waved his hand and interrupted: "Brother Shen, it seems that you are still wary of me, do you think that the news that the Fan family can get, this king will not get it?"

"My unruly sister has left the palace for Antarctica, and I haven't yet asked where she went, but I guess...... She should be in the Wu'an Army, am I right?"

Seeing Shen Chai's acquiescence, Ji Chen smiled and said: "She was born with a divine realm, but this is not a good thing, my father asked a famous teacher to create a special exercise for her, "Huang Ting Yuan Ling", to suppress the realm. If I'm not mistaken, when she arrived in Wu'anjun at that time, the realm she revealed was only around the innate realm, which was about the same as your realm at that time......"

Ji Chen said softly. "You and Zixuan are in love, and the Fan family learned about it, and the Guanwen Palace deliberately wanted to lose face for you. ”

"At the dinner party, you ignored many princesses, didn't even look at them, and only offered poems to ...... with her"

"It's all very unusual, but if you've known her for a long time, it all makes sense. ”

"It seems that Your Highness knows me very well. Shen Chai's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Brother Shen is not strange. Ji Chen saw that the other party was a little wary, and suddenly said: "As a prince, you can't make mistakes, I investigated all this, I just want to have a relationship with Brother Shen, and I do it above board, I only check if you have something to ask for." If you go to my fourth brother's side, I'm afraid he will only investigate deeper!"

"Why does Your Highness do so much to help me?" Shen Chai asked rhetorically. "Why don't Your Highness put this effort into your own pursuit. ”

"I have no shortage of riches, nor am I short of lintels. Ji Chen said lightly. "The only thing that lacks the talent of the general!"

"Hiss~" Shen Chai gasped in his heart. Ji Chen said this, and almost told him directly that he wanted to take the heir.

Historical kings have a thousand-year-old tradition of establishing a successor, which means that a dynasty lasts for a thousand years, just in case, a crown prince will be established as a prince.

Although the current Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven is majestic and strategic, who can say for sure that this Emperor will always be so ambitious?

Throughout history, many emperors have sought the truth and passed on the throne to future generations. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the emperor doesn't have this idea, the status and power of the crown prince and the prince are worlds apart!

The Great Zhou Dynasty has been created for more than 800 years, and the millennium period is approaching, and even now there are ministers in the court who have mentioned the establishment of the prince, and Ji Chen certainly wants to fight!

"Your Highness is not ambitious. Shen Chai sighed.

"Maybe I've crossed the line, the fourth brother is older and more powerful than me......," Ji Chen said calmly. "But ordinary people have the idea of thinking about wealth in ordinary times and thinking about being expensive when they are rich. How much more about this king?"

"Fan Hongyi is the prince of Shaobao, and he gets along very closely with my fourth brother, if you don't want to marry Zixuan, maybe you can be neutral or even take refuge in him. If you really don't mean this, then today's matter, the champion Hou will be the king of the king after drinking and gaffe. ”

After speaking, Ji Chen lowered his head and drank tea, waiting for Shen Chai to make a statement.

Shen Chai thought for a while, then nodded and sighed: "Your Highness guessed right, I did know Zixuan for a long time, and I am in love, if possible, I would rather not have this throne, and I just want her to be by my side." ”

Ji Chen had a smile on his face, clapped his hands and said, "Zixuan, you can come out." ”

"Wow~" In Shen Chai's stunned eyes, the bead curtain behind was lifted, and Ji Zixuan walked out with Jiao Weiqin in her arms.

"Xuan'er, you ......" Shen Chai frowned slightly.

"It's me. Zixuan nodded excitedly. But it seemed that because Ji Chen was beside him, he was a little shy, and restrained himself from rushing over.

"My father's birthday banquet is coming, and I am afraid that King Zhao will not come forward for you, so I told him about you and me, and begged Seventh Brother to help us. Zixuan explained.

"I see, that's ......," Shen Chai suddenly realized. He said why this Ji Chen guessed so accurately, and dared to love Zixuan told him.

"I also know it for a short time. Ji Chen smiled. "It turns out that my good sister has already found such a wonderful husband outside. ”

"Hehe, it seems that my brother has to go to other continents from time to time to take a look, maybe he can find a strange woman?"

"Seventh Brother!" Zixuan lowered her head shyly.

"Okay, I'll not say anything. You can tap it, but don't break my scorched tail. Ji Chen smiled.

"Didn't you say you gave it to me?"

"When did this happen?" Ji Chen deliberately pretended not to know.

"You said before that as long as I am willing to attend the banquet, you will give me a big gift. ”

"Husband Wuhou, Guan Ju's poems, isn't it a big gift?" Ji Chen said with a smile.

"Hmph, it wasn't you who sent it, it was written by Shen Chai!" Zi Xuan shook her hand slightly, Jiao Weiqin disappeared suddenly, clapped her hands with a smile, hid beside Shen Chai and said, "I don't care, it's mine, Shen Chai, don't let him snatch it back for me." ”

Seeing Zixuan looking like a scoundrel, Ji Chen and Shen Chai both smiled dumbly.

After a while, Shen Chai took a few steps back, stretched out his hand to bow, and said in a deep voice: "Minister, thank you, Your Highness." ”

Seeing Shen Chai's name change, Ji Chen hurriedly got up from his seat, and happily came over to hold Shen Chai's hand, "Hurry up, please get up." ”

............

After talking with Ji Chen for a while, discussing the matter of proposing, Ji Chen took the lead and left.

King Zhao's power is limited to the imperial court and the military, but this seventh prince is enough to influence the opinions of the royal family and even the current emperor.

Need to know...... There are only a dozen princes in total, and there are only two who remain in the capital, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to these two princes. With Ji Chen's help, the hope of proposing relatives will undoubtedly be greater.

"Shen Chai, you're finally here. After Ji Chen left, Zixuan, who had been listening obediently next to Shen Chai, suddenly had no scruples, leaned directly on Shen Chai's shoulder, hugged Shen Chai's arm and muttered.

"Well, I'm coming. Shen Chai held the opponent's palm with his backhand. "And I won't leave until I marry you. ”

Zixuan was shy, her heart was as sweet as eating honey, she rubbed her head between Shen Chai's neck, and exhaled like an orchid: "You haven't told me yet, why are you so powerful all of a sudden, the true sacred words and poems are all in your hands, why didn't you find it before." ”

"Because there are many, many people helping me. Shen Chai chuckled.

"Huh, a lot of people help you?" Zixuan said confusedly. "How come I don't know, what other infamous Confucians in the world can have this kind of ability?

"Haha, that's a lot, like that song "Capturing the King", which was written by a master surnamed Du Mingfu, and that "General Fu", which is an old man surnamed Lu......"

"Oh, then we'll have to thank them another day......"

“......”

............

After the Yuehua banquet, Shen chased the name and moved the thirty-three heavens!

The four True Sacred Words and Poems in the True Literature Realm defeated the Holy Literature Beast twice and quickly spread out.

Many scholars and celebrities continued to preach, and many civil and military ministers went to Yuehuatian one after another, and invitations floated over like snowflakes. Huang Jingdule, the chief official of the Hou Mansion, blossomed.

Just looking at the names of the hosts who sent out the invitations could make him excited for a long time.

Originally, Shen Chai was named the champion Hou, but most of them were only invited by the military department and military generals, and the rank was not very high, at least there was no invitation from the true gods.

However, after the Yuehua banquet passed, the great Confucians of the government and the opposition sent invitations one after another.

Some of the descendants of the king also sent congratulatory gifts, and even came to the door in person.

A Venerable Fifth-Order Martial Marquis may not be worth making such a big effort, but being able to make a true sacred poem would be of great help. Not to mention anything else, those who are good at the battle path of the Sacred Word Poem, if they can ask for a poem from Shen Chai, it will not be of much help.

Shen Chai knew that this might have the credit of his own poetry, but to be able to have such a big effect the next day, I am afraid that it was the Seventh Prince Ji Chen who secretly helped.

Time was of the essence, and they discussed an outcome last night and came up with an outlined plan of action.

The first step was to create momentum for Shen Chai in the ears of the civil officials of the 33rd Heaven in the capital, and take advantage of the opportunity of the Yuehua banquet to gather officials and dignitaries and proton envoys sent by various feudal states, forming a pivotal image of him both inside and outside the capital. These reputations naturally spread to the ears of the Emperor and Princess Anle's mother, Concubine Xuanyue.

In the second step, Ji Chen went to see Xuanyue Guifei, and bought off the people around Xuanyue Guifei, and moved her to enhance the image of the champion Hou Shen in the heart of this Xuanyue Guifei. The Xuanyue Guifei, who has mastered the South China Sea Islands, still has a certain right to speak in the human emperor.

The third and most critical step is to ensure that there are no accidents during the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, so that the title of the champion Hou can be announced to the world smoothly, and no one will be given a chance to criticize.

It must be known that as long as the sacrifice is not completed, the title of champion Hou will not be completely implemented. At that time, even if it is only a little delay, it will lead to the failure of the proposal at the birthday banquet of the emperor on May 18.

Shenwei General Shen Chai and Champion Hou Shen Chai are two completely different concepts.

After a deep conversation, Shen Chai also had a trace of admiration for Ji Chen, he was thoughtful and thoughtful everywhere. There are some details that King Zhao and himself have overlooked, but they are extremely important.

Compared with the majestic and powerful aura of the fourth prince Ji Dan, when the seventh prince Ji Chen talks eloquently, he is more like a world ruler who swallows mountains and rivers.

Shen Chai decided in his heart that as long as this Seventh Prince Ji Chen lived up to him, he would definitely repay this person!

............

Everything is going according to plan.

In the name of his disciple, Ji Chen asked the great Confucian Liu Haoran to invite Shen Chai to be a guest in the mansion, and not give people any chance to attack before the sacrifice to the heavens.

The undercurrent is surging, but on the surface it is extremely calm. The night of the ninth day of the fifth month passed quickly.

On the tenth day of the fifth month, the ceremony of sacrifice to the heavens begins!

The ceremony was held in the 33rd Heaven of the Heavens.

The vast and tall Temple of Heaven casts the clouds at your feet, and above you is an endless and vast dome.

The civil and military officials worshipped the emperor first under the leadership of the sacrificial wine of the Temple of the Son of Heaven, and played the holy decree.

Later, in front of the civil and military officials, princes and nobles, he read the will and announced it to the world.

"Mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the stars, the cold and the summer, the five elements of wind and thunder, the past heroic spirits, food and worship ......"

"Kyushu is prosperous, conforms to the heart of heaven, and is called humane......"

The sacrificial prayer was not carried out for a short time, and after listening to it for a while, Shen Chai understood. The so-called sacrifice to the heavens is not the ethereal gods of the sacrifices, but the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the mountains and rivers, the sages and the heroic spirits of the human race in history!

But think about it, the strong men of the Great Zhou, after reaching the true god level, can change the celestial phenomena, and it is not an exaggeration to call them gods, where will they fabricate a more nihilistic god out of thin air to worship and sacrifice?

After the long sacrificial text, it is the will of the emperor of the people.

This is not much different from the holy decree heard in the Wu'an army.

The Marquis of Wu'an was crowned the King of Zhao, and the Divine Sword Hou Lanhe and the Marquis of Dingwu each served as a transshipment envoy to a continent.

This was followed by Zhongyihou, Zhixinhou, and Wenxinhou...... Until the champion Hou!

In addition to a huge mansion given by the Twenty-ninth Heaven, Shen Chai's father-in-law was awarded the title of first-class benevolent and righteous uncle, which was the imperial court's gratitude to Shen Shan for adopting Shen Chai's righteous son. The stepmother and sister-in-law Shen Xinlan were named Mrs. Sipin. As for his biological father, due to his madness and delirium, he did not receive a reward, but privately sent a large number of precious medicinal materials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.

Wuhou Qilin Suit, Wuhou Lingjian, Tianma Chariot, Champion Hou Ling, and the Four Treasures of Shizi's Study are all not much different from what they knew before, in addition to these, Shen Chai also has one more title - Jin Wuwei Commander.

This position of commander is completely different from ordinary legions, because it belongs to the official rank in the secret realm of Wuhou!

This also means that Shen Chai can get at least seven years of cultivation in the secret realm!

After the general-level reward was completed, everyone went to the Temple of Heaven to get a huge purple light group to thank the emperor.

At this point, the position of the champion Hou has been completely confirmed, and it will be announced to the world from now on!

"Now, the birthday feast has begun, which is only eight days away. After the sacrifice was over, Shen Chai, who had let go of his heart, came out of Ling Xiaotian and thought secretly.
