After the emperor of Yin Shang ascended the throne, he would do it for fifty years at most, and when the time of fifty years comes, even if you don't go down, you will be forced to go down, and then the prince will be elected in thirty years, and the prince will be elected in such a way as the war of succession.

Yin Zong was the first person to win the throne that year, so he was qualified to ascend the throne.

It is precisely because of such a system that it is guaranteed that every emperor on the throne, even if he has obvious shortcomings, will definitely not be an idiot.

In a centralized country like an empire, the emperor's ability is very important, and if the emperor is an idiot, the reason why many dynasties in history will perish is because the emperor's personal ability is too big.

Of course, there will be a little accident occasionally, for example, some emperors want to abolish such a system and let their sons inherit it, but because of the existence of the clan, the emperor wants to do this, and there is still a lot of resistance, although some emperors have tried to do this, but without exception, all failed.

Although the clans of Yin Shang generally do not come out to meddle in court politics, their influence cannot be ignored.

Such a system was first created by the Xia Empire, and other countries basically imitated it, and then there will be some changes in some details, in general, they all follow such a system, including the Tui En Order.

There is also the imperial examination system, which is also a very important part, this is so that the people at the bottom can see hope, and the official position will not be monopolized by the imperial gate lord family.

At the same time, the empire's review of military merit is also very strict, and military merit is also a very important channel for lower-class people to ascend to the top.

Every emperor knows that this is the foundation of a country, and once there is no way up, corruption breeds, and the empire will perish, which is the lesson summed up by countless previous dynasties.

The founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty was wise and martial, and he established these things single-handedly, ensuring that his dynasty could continue as long as possible.

Just wrap this battle for succession, like raising Gu, put all the princes together to fight, and choose the most powerful one.

The subjects of Yin Shang are happy to see this kind of thing come true, and this method has been deeply engraved into the bones of every Yin merchant, and even the most ordinary people in Luo Xuan City will talk about such things as the Great War for the Succession.

Performing martial arts is the first procedure of the battle for succession, in fact, it is to put on a stage, and then let the prince go up to show his strength, after all, this is still a world where strength is supreme, strength is everything, in the face of absolute power, everything can be conquered, so force is still the first important thing in the selection of the prince.

This time, in addition to the emperor being able to see it, there are also civil and military officials watching from the side, which also makes the officials know in their hearts, those people can be supported by themselves, and those people have no potential, and they can all see one or two in the martial arts.

The princes will do their best to win enough political capital in this military exercise, once the military exercise is over, basically all officials will have a bottom in their hearts, they will choose the prince they are optimistic about, and there will not be much change after that.

After announcing this matter, Yin Zong didn't seem to have anything to say, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, all Aiqing, there is something to do, and there is nothing to retreat." ”

In fact, the things he really wanted to say had already been turned into a song and sent it away, just now Yin Zong asked about some things, all because he wanted everyone to hear, and he just asked Li Xin to let everyone know that he was a good emperor who missed his subjects.

Talking to a few princes is to let others know that he is still a loving father, as for what he said to Yin Litian, it also helped Yin Litian a lot on the side, at least, no one will have any scruples in the future because the emperor doesn't like Yin Litian.

The civil and military officials shouted out a sentence of long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, and then slowly retreated, and when they retreated, they were also very particular, it was the people outside who went out first, and when they came in, they came in first, and when they went out, they went out first.

When the people outside the Xuanzheng Hall were almost gone, and the people inside the Xuanzheng Hall also began to move, Liu Qian looked up and found that the emperor had already walked into the side hall, and the old prime minister also stood up, dusted off his clothes, didn't pay attention to the rules at all, and actually left directly.

In this way, naturally no one dared to rob him, and everyone honestly followed him out of the Xuanzheng Palace.

After leaving the palace, Liu Qian followed Yin Litian to his palace, and as soon as he entered the door, Yin Litian said a little excitedly: "I didn't expect my uncle to say this today." ”

Liu Qian hadn't figured it out at first, but after a while, it occurred to him that Yin Litian was worth it because Yin Zong said that he would treat him fairly.

Liu Qian didn't know how Yin Litian had been treated unfairly before, and he was so excited.

Yin Litian looked at Liu Qian with a disapproving face, and said with a wry smile: "Liu Qian, you don't know, because there was a rumor that this uncle didn't like me before, and I suffered a lot of unnecessary hardships, these things, hey, you won't understand." ”

Yin Litian was quite melancholy, his father, who is now the elder brother of Emperor Yin Zong, used to compete fiercely with Yin Zong for the position of emperor, and the throne at that time was basically decided between these two people, and in the end Yin Zong won the victory.

Later, Yin Litian's father, Yin Shenglai, went out to practice after losing the battle for the throne, and there was no news for several years, and Yin Zhenglin was born under such circumstances.

It wasn't until Yin Zhenglin was fifteen years old that news suddenly came that his father had died, dead in a barren mountain and wilderness, and if it weren't for the royal jewelry on his body, he wouldn't have recognized it at all.

At that time, it naturally caused a great shock, and Yin Shang went back to his roots to find out who killed Yin Shenglai, but there was no way, all the cause and effect were eliminated by a great power.

People with such means are at worst a transcendent saint, and Yin Shang can only give up after discovering this matter, not that they are afraid of a transcendent saint, but it is not necessary, after all, people are dead now.

Even if that transcendent saint is found, if he really avenges Yin Shenglai, it will be useless.

In this way, the cause of Yin Shenglai's death has become an unsolved case, everyone has a gossip heart, and more and more rumors about Yin Shenglai's death began to circulate.

One of the most popular rumors is that Yin Zong killed Yin Shenglai in the current sainthood, and I don't know if this rumor has been spread by people with a heart, and it has become more and more widespread, and in the end. Almost everyone thought that Yin Zong had killed his brother, and Yin Zong had never defended these things.

Yin Litian told these things eloquently, and finally said expressionlessly: "Actually, my uncle has never made me feel sorry for me, but because of this rumor, many people take it for granted that my uncle should not like me, so he made things difficult for me in many things, but since I have made it clear today, I think this kind of thing should be rare in the future." ”

"And. Yin Litian's tone suddenly changed, his eyes became much sharper, and his gaze was like a sharp sword out of the sheath.

"And there aren't many people who can make things difficult for me now. "Yin Zhenglin.

Yin Zhenglin rarely showed his domineering, he used to look like a gentle gentleman, but his current appearance seems to be more suitable as a leader.

"Speaking of which, do you think it shouldn't be the current saint who killed your father?" Liu Qian said.

Reading between the lines of Yin Litian just now, it was very obvious that he felt that his uncle was not the real murderer.

Yin Litian nodded and said: "Yes, my uncle's suspicion is very small, it can almost be said that there is none, he had just ascended the throne at that time, and there were still many things to do, and my father even gave up the throne at that time and ran away directly, I don't understand, what other reason does he have to kill my father, and he didn't have so many people at that time, and the rumors behind me, I think it should be spread by good deeds." ”

Uncle, as the king, naturally disdained to justify such a thing, but in the end, it almost became a reality.

Liu Qian nodded, this is the power of rumors, the three of them become tigers, not to mention that the millions of mouths in the entire Luo Xuan City are talking about the same thing, even if it is false, it will become true.

Liu Qian suddenly thought of a very critical place, and he spoke: "Your Highness, it may be a little offensive, but I want to know, when did your father die?"

Yin Litian didn't know why Liu Qian asked this, but he still replied: "According to the situation of the bones at that time, he was already dead five years after leaving home, and it wasn't found until ten years later, and then we didn't know, what's wrong?"

The reason why Liu Qian came over to help Yin Litian this time was because of the relationship between the Snow Girl, at that time, Liu Qian was thinking, what would be the relationship between Yin Litian and the Snow Girl, he had guessed before, it should be the Snow Girl's father and the Snow Girl What kind of entanglement, now that he knows Yin Shenglai, Liu Qian is even more sure.

After Yin Shenglai went out to practice, he must have been involved with the Snow Girl because of some things, so he is like this today.
