Volume 1: Lingdong Views of the Mountains and Snow Chapter 220 The Rules of Ten Thousand Sons Winning the Heir (II)
"I know what you're thinking." Seeing that Tang Jin was silent for a long time, Tang Duo said in a deep voice: "The rules are true, no one is exempt, as for those who are not old enough, there are two results, one is to go, and then wait for death; The other is to become an heir. ”
"Heir? You mean inherit the title? Inherit the title without participating? Tang Jin said in surprise.
Tang Duo nodded and said: "The royal title needs to be inherited, and inheriting the title is equivalent to giving up the qualification of ten thousand sons to take the heir, although it still has to go to the capital to study, but it will not attract death." ”
"Doesn't that mean I've given up my qualifications? So why were you so worried about it? Tang Jin asked strangely.
"Heh, you're thinking too simply. If someone else has a situation where our family only has one heir, then it is natural that there is no need to participate in the reign of Na Laoshizi Wanzi, but you are different, your father and I made too many enemies back then, and they couldn't move me, so they will naturally take you under the knife, and at that time, there will definitely be a bunch of people who will run to Dingtian Pavilion to petition for you to regain your qualifications. Tang Duo smiled bitterly, in fact, he still cheated Tang Jin in this matter.
"Dingtian Pavilion? What is that? Hearing a new term again, Tang Jin immediately asked with interest.
"Dingtian Pavilion is a court institution left by the ancestors, and the owner has great autonomy, and is responsible for supervising the entire Wanzi succession and its subsequent matters. The original cabinet elders of Dingtian Pavilion were specially selected and trained by the first emperor A group of dead soldiers, they themselves are all brilliant people, if they enter the court as officials, they are all prime ministers, auxiliary ministers. But it is precisely because of this that they are responsible for supervising the progress of the Wanzi succession and selecting new cabinet members, which has ensured the prosperity of my Datang for many years. Tang Duo explained.
Hearing this, Tang Jin couldn't help but be surprised, obviously he didn't expect the ancestor of the Tang family to be so courageous, and dare to entrust such a big matter of selecting an heir to others, but after thinking about it, it is precisely because the other party has such courage that he can have today's Datang.
Seeing that Tang Jin still didn't speak, Tang Duo only thought that he couldn't accept these for a while, and after thinking about it, he didn't continue to say other rules, but smiled: "Didn't you ask me before, why is he still willing to be a prince even though he has the ability to regain the throne at any time?" It is true that there is the privacy of brotherhood in this, but it is more because of Dingtian Pavilion. Dingtian Pavilion is not only the regulator of the Ten Thousand Sons to seize the heirs, but also the world's recognized 'No. 1 Killer Organization', their killers do not take personal work, the only ones they kill are those who break the rules of the Ten Thousand Sons and try to seize power by force. In other words, as long as I dare to rebel, in a few days, the killers of Dingtian Pavilion will be able to kill me unknowingly, even with my current strength. ”
"Grandmaster-level killer?" Hearing Tang Duo's words, Tang Jin immediately popped up with such an idea.
Tang Duo nodded noncommittally, "Grandmaster Peak Killer...... And more than one, a lot. ”
Hiss!
Tang Jin immediately gasped, the masters of the peak of the Grandmaster are already rare in the world, and the total number of people in the whole continent is less than a hundred, and there are even fewer killers at the peak of the Grandmaster, but there are many in the Dingtian Pavilion...... Could it be that the peak killers of the grandmasters of the whole continent are all their people? If so...... Isn't that ridiculous?
Seeing Tang Jin's surprised look, Tang Duo couldn't help but shake his head and smile, thinking that when he first knew about it, he was no better than him.
"Okay, let's get to the point, about the matter of Dingtian Pavilion, you will have a chance to understand it in the future, and now I will continue to tell you the rules of ten thousand sons to win the heir." Tang Duo waved his hand to draw Tang Jin's attention back, "I said the start time earlier, now let's talk about the middle." The duration of the succession is 20 years, and in these 20 years, you will study in the capital for the first four years, then go to various places or the court to serve as officials for the next six years, and the last ten years will go to the border to lead the troops. Of course, it is said that there are twenty years, but since ancient times, there has never been a generation that has really used up these twenty years, and most of them decided the final winner around the twelfth or thirteenth year. ”
When Tang Duo said this, Tang Jin not only raised his eyebrows, but after talking for a long time, Tang Duo didn't seem to say anything about how to count as a victory, "Winner?" What does it mean to win? Or what are the conditions to win? ”
Tang Duo glanced at him, raised three fingers and said, "Three conditions." First, those who make outstanding contributions to the country and create a new prosperous world will win; Second, the one who leads the army to unify the world wins; Third, when there are only five participants left, all five players will win at the same time. If one of these three conditions is met, you will win. But the first two, there is almost no possibility of realization, no matter how talented a person is, he can't get the throne, he can't do such a feat, so the participants in the past have achieved the third condition to win. ”
"There are only five people left of all the participants. What about the others? Knocked out? Tang Jin said curiously.
His words seemed to poke Tang Duo's pain point, and he saw a flash of sadness on his face, and sighed: "A small number of lucky ones will be disqualified and eliminated." Most...... All dead. This is also one of the reasons why I don't want you to participate, nearly a hundred sect disciples, only five remain, if you count those princes with different surnames, princes and ministers, and family members who stand in line, after such a game, all the forces in the entire Tang Dynasty will have to be reshuffled, and the larger the number of people involved, the greater the danger to you. Add to that my former enemies, and you're almost certain to die. ”
"It's okay, anyway, I'm not interested in that throne, when I finish four years of school, I will directly find a way to eliminate myself, don't worry, your son is very capable." Tang Jin shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said.
"Not interested?" Tang Jin's words seemed to stimulate Tang Duo, only to see him stand up suddenly, staring at Tang Jin and asking, "Why are you not interested in the throne?" Or rather...... How could it not be interested? Is there anyone in the world who doesn't want to be an emperor? ”
Tang Jin, who had long expected him to ask such a question, was about to face Fang Xiaoer before
The words were repeated, Tang Duo was also speechless by what he said, and in the end, he was inexplicably a little depressed, a touch of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and the whole person felt a lot older.
"Good...... Good...... It's okay if you're not interested, at least you can save your life, huh...... That's enough. Tang Duo slowly sat back in his chair and muttered to himself.
Looking at Tang Duo's appearance, Tang Jin was stunned, he had never seen each other like this in the fifteen years of getting along day and night, as if his words just now had taken away a dream in his heart that had been hidden for more than ten years.
Tang Jin couldn't figure it out for a while, but he faintly grabbed something, but he still couldn't help but say it.
"Okay, that's fine, as long as you're doing well. Having said all this, the most crucial point has not been said, all the sect disciples who participated in the Ten Thousand Sons Succession cannot borrow the power of the family. In other words, when the time comes, the palace will not be able to give you any protection, and everything can only rely on you. But there is an exception, the prince brother with a different surname is not subject to this constraint, which is why I said before that those prince brothers with a different surname cannot be ignored. If you compare the power of the family to money, then when the son wins the heir, the money is locked with a lot of locks, and those princes with different surnames are the keys, the more you have, the more locks you can open, the more family power you can use, and the greater the chance of winning......"
Saying that, Tang Duo seemed to think of something, glanced at Tang Jin, shook his head with a smile, waved his hand and said, "What am I talking about, you don't plan to win anyway, what does it matter if there is anyone to support you?" ”
Tang Duo seemed to be asking himself when he said this, and he seemed to be sighing. After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at Tang Jin, and the whole person fell onto the recliner, and said in a tired tone: "Okay, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the rest has nothing to do with you, you go back first, I'm a little tired for my father." ”
Tang Jin was slightly stunned, it was the first time he had seen Tang Duo like this in more than ten years, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, and finally could only salute Tang Duo respectfully, and then walked out quickly.
For a moment, there was an inexplicable silence in the bedroom, and the faint sound of the stove burning kept echoing in the bedroom.
"Aren't you tired after listening to it for so long? Come out. Lying on the recliner, Tang Duo closed his eyes and said.
Before the words fell, I saw Pei Ming slowly walk out of the shadows, looked at Tang Duo, looked at the door again, and said in a deep voice: "Very disappointed? ”
Tang Duo froze for a moment when he heard this, as if he was thinking, and finally shook his head, "No, his safety is the most important thing, besides, he is not here, what is he forcing him to do?" ”
"I can't say it." Pei Ming shook his head and commented.
Hearing this, Tang Duo casually picked up the wine jug beside him and threw it over, "Get out!" ”
Pei Ming dodged sideways, glanced at Tang Duo, shook his head, and slowly retreated into the shadows.
