Chapter VI Qualifications

Emperor Longqing talked very strongly today, pulled his daughter to his throne, and chatted with his daughter: "Actually, in addition to your younger brother, I am also optimistic about one person, that is, your fifth brother, Lu Jin, the fifth prince from Mei Jieyu. He is very talented, and his mother is also a smart person in the palace. For fear that he would be persecuted by the queen and the Ling family, I deliberately asked him to go to the fiefdom to exercise for a few years, and then talk about it in the future. In fact, in my heart, I still hope that your younger brother will be selected to join the Shangqing faction two years later, when the Shangqing sends an envoy. That's better than being an emperor, and it's even more useful to our royal family and to the Yu Kingdom. ”

It turned out that my father still had such a plan. Lu Yao said: "Didn't Brother Yuan participate in the test? By the way, my mother never told me about it. Probably not. ”

Emperor Longqing said: "There are immortals in the world, only a few people know about it, how can ordinary people know about it?" Your mother's concubine is just a concubine in the harem, and her mother's family is also an ordinary official eunuch's family, how can you know such a thing. Actually, not only did your brother not take the test, but you didn't take the test either. ”

Lu Yao was surprised and asked: "My brother is only five years old, and the immortals only come once in ten years, so it's normal that my brother hasn't taken the test, but I'm already fourteen years old, how can I not take the test?" ”

Emperor Longqing said: "Actually, eight years ago, the gods came once, and the princesses, princes, and children of the ministers in the palace were all secretly sent over for testing. However, that time, you happened to be sick, unconscious, and had a high fever that did not go away, which was very dangerous, and you could not leave the palace, so you missed the test. At that time, when it was time to test, I didn't tell everyone that I was going to test, but just invited these children to get together, and the gods naturally knew something at once. ”

Lu Yao wondered in his heart, such a good thing, why was he so unlucky, but he got sick when he was about to go to the test? Or does the high fever not go away?

Emperor Longqing said: "Yao'er, have you noticed that in fact, the qualifications of your father and emperor are really ordinary, in fact, they are not worthy of staying on this throne at all?" Moreover, the father is not the eldest son, how can it be the father to be the emperor? ”

Actually, Lu Yao had this idea for a long time, but this one involved the secrets of the previous dynasty, and the other party was her father, so she was naturally not good at asking. At the moment, the emperor himself brought it up, although Lu Yao wanted to know the reason, but he couldn't say it directly. Because according to Lu Yao's thoughts, this matter is estimated to be another tragic process of seizing the heir.

In this process, the elders, or those who are capable, have been struggled, and only their father and emperor are left, and there are a few more stupid imperial uncles, and naturally the throne falls to his father. If this is made into a TV series, it is estimated that it will be a palace fight drama of more than 100 episodes.

Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Yao said: "My father is wise and martial, how can he be an ordinary qualification?" The father and emperor govern the world, the people's hearts are wanted, and the destiny of heaven returns. ”

Emperor Longqing laughed out loud and said, "What is the destiny of heaven." I tell you that back then, I had four older brothers, all of whom were highly qualified. Smarter than me, more capable than me. These four elder brothers, some of whom were favored by their mothers, those who were born to the queens of the previous dynasty, those who were eldest and some of whom were concubines, those who were foreign forces of big families, and some of them were gifted and had outstanding abilities than ordinary people. I am the fifth prince, and I have no hope of succeeding to the throne, so back then, your grandfather, the former emperor, did not cultivate me with heart. ”

"I also have self-knowledge, so I don't think about this throne, I love beauty, music, gold, treasures, and a good talent for poetry. However, things have changed. ”

That year, the four elder brothers were at the critical moment of winning the heir, although none of the four elder brothers were twenty years old, but they were already involved in political affairs because of their strong ability and outstanding talents. The court was very nervous. Only I am still in my own palace, and I am in the snow. ”

"However, that year was also the time when the gods came to test. Surprisingly, my four elder brothers actually all have spiritual roots, not only the four of them, but also my younger brother, who also has spiritual roots at a young age. This is a big matter, the first case since the founding of our Yu Kingdom, there are actually five people with spiritual roots in the entire palace, and one with spiritual roots has also been checked out in the clan. There are six of them, and there are more than a dozen of them among the people, and that time, the gods were very satisfied, and they took away a total of more than 20 people with spiritual roots. ”

"This throne is like this, it fell from the sky and fell to my head. I wasn't married at that time. However, the character has grown. Father, that is, your grandfather, has no way, he found that the sons he carefully cultivated have all gone to become immortals, leaving me and a few brothers, and the lame man can only choose me. ”

"That's how I became the crown prince, and that's how I became the emperor."

Lu Yao was stunned, it turned out that there was no tragic palace fight, there was no big drama to win the heir, and it was such a pie-in-the-sky way that he achieved his father.

Emperor Longqing said: "Although my father has no ability, he is not very good at governing the country. However, I have several good brothers who are in the gods. Therefore, over the years, the Shangqing faction has tended a lot towards our Yu country. Our Yu country has fought with its neighbors three times in a row, thousands of miles away from the country, that is not my achievement, it is all secretly helped by the gods. ”

Now Lu Yao understood that this was the case. This world is a world of cultivation, which is completely different from what Lu Yao thought.

Emperor Longqing said: "So, Yao'er, do you understand, a country can let people with ordinary qualifications, even people who are unscrupulous, be emperors, as long as there are still people in his country who have spiritual roots, and there are people from the royal family in the Shangqing faction, this country can survive." Even the storage zài is getting better and better. Therefore, having a spiritual root is more important than having the ability to govern the country. ”

"It's a pity that none of these children of mine, eight years ago, tested have spiritual roots. Your eldest sister and second sister, why do you marry far away, they also have no spiritual roots. Originally, you were also going to marry far away. The crown princess of the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom is gone, if you marry him at this time, you will be the crown princess, and you will be the queen of the Jin country in the future, which is very important to our Yu country. However, I did not agree. ”

"I want you to stay, because you are the most beautiful of all my daughters, and I don't believe that you are so smart, so beautiful, and you have no spiritual roots. You missed the test last time. This time, can't be missed again. If in the future, when the sect comes to test, you are already the crown princess or queen of the Jin Kingdom, and you find out that you have a spiritual root, then you are a person from the Jin Kingdom, what does it have to do with our Yu Kingdom? Therefore, I am selfish and unwilling to do this, so I will not allow you to marry far away. ”

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder, the eldest daughter born to the queen has to marry far away, and she is a little princess who is not favored by the concubine, so she doesn't have to marry far away?

Emperor Longqing: "Not only you, I think Yuan'er is also very qualified, in some ways, I think he is very similar to my elder brothers when they were young, so I have great expectations for him, hoping that in the test in two years, both of you can be selected." ”

"Yao'er, do you know? The Lu family, the royal family of our Yu country, is because the ancestors are people with spiritual roots, and they are the outer disciples of the Shangqing faction, so for hundreds of years, our Lu family has almost been born from generation to generation. Therefore, our Yu country can be stable for hundreds of years. ”

"I heard from the three worshippers sent by the Shangqing Sect to our Yu Kingdom that this spiritual root is inherited. Therefore, the family whose ancestors have produced spiritual roots is more likely to produce spiritual roots. ”

"Do you know the queen's maiden family, the Ling family, why is it so powerful? Because her ancestors also had immortal cultivators with spiritual roots. However, that was more than a hundred years ago, and I heard that the person in her family had been lost. Therefore, the Ling family is also going downhill. ”

"There are also people with spiritual roots in Concubine Chen's maiden family, and your mother Concubine Shun, who has also produced people with spiritual roots in her mother's family. The royal family let these families who had spiritual roots marry into the palace, just so that they could give birth to children with spiritual roots more likely. However, the Ling family, Concubine Chen's maiden family, and your mother's maiden family are no longer there. I can't shelter their family anymore. ”

"However, there is another person in the harem, that is, Mei Jieyu, there have been several people with spiritual roots in her mother's family, and now, one of her brothers is still in the Shangqing faction, and I heard that the status is very high. Therefore, I originally had the highest hope for her, and I originally thought that her son would have spiritual roots. However, although Jin'er is smart, he has already tested it and has no spiritual root. ”

"Now, I can only put my hope in your brothers and sisters. However, if you can't win, that's okay, I now find that my Yao'er is very talented in governing the country. ”

"In the future, it is also a blessing to assist my younger brother in managing Yu Guo. Haruka, you know what? I got the throne suddenly, in fact, I don't want to be this emperor, and I don't have the ability to be this emperor well. I also know that for so many years, I have managed the empire, and the management has not been very good. Until you started to help me, not only did I become more relaxed, but the government also became clearer. Therefore, I would like to thank my good daughter, Haruka. ”

Lu Yao was busy with humility and thanked his father.

In today's conversation, Emperor Longqing has revealed his determination to abolish the crown prince, and it seems that the Ling family will not be able to escape. And Emperor Longqing has long made a decision in his heart, that is, he wants to still be in the fiefdom, and Mei Jieyu's son Lu has recently taken over the throne. And himself, as well as his younger brother Yuan'er, is the person with spiritual roots chosen by the sect in his father's heart.

Lu Yao couldn't help but feel sad for the queen, and he began to worry about the future.
