"Until eighteen years ago, I was still the young master of the Tianzheng Chen family, although I was not the eldest son, but my status was not low, and in the family, it was also possible to inherit the title of the head of the family." Chen Shu saw that Wen Fang and the others had heard of the Tianzheng Chen family, and He Ping also learned about the Chen family under the explanation of several people, so he continued: "Speaking of young master, I was already in my thirties at that time, almost forty years old, because Tianzheng is not a war-torn border like here, plus the water and soil are better, so everyone's life expectancy is generally longer, my father was already in his sixties at that time, but he was still very healthy." ”

"I am the second son of the head of the Chen family, but because I am only a concubine, my status was not high at the beginning, above me, my eldest brother is the eldest son, and the succession is naturally the first." Chen Shu said: "The eldest brother is eight years older than me, and when I was still studying, the eldest brother had already followed my father to attend some important diplomatic places, and sometimes he had to serve as the secretary of his father, who was the commander of the Great Xingling, and he was also a young diplomatic star. ”

"However, those who think that way are just outsiders." Chen Shu had some nostalgia in his eyes, and continued: "The Chen family is also an old family, there are many capable people in the family, and the identity of the eldest son does not guarantee the inheritance of my eldest brother, and several cousins are not mediocre, and my talent is only higher than that of my eldest brother, in fact, on the whole, my eldest brother can only be regarded as a medium level among all the children of the Chen family of that generation. ”

Speaking of these, Chen Shu's expression changed to pride and confidence: "The eldest brother is relatively old, and he appeared in various places with the elders in the family very early, so everyone initially identified with the eldest brother, but when the rest of us gradually grew up, and also began to appear in various diplomatic places, and began to hold various positions, this situation was changed." Among us, there are many people who are more talented than the eldest brother, and the position of the head of the family is also variable. ”

What Chen Shu said next is the same as the situation in many big families, the battle for inheritance rights, which is a common thing in a slightly larger family, that is, the Zhao family is thin, Zhao is in the prime of life, and there is no one of his peers. The younger generations are still young, and the people in the military do not have so many twists and turns, even if they fight for the right to inherit, it is a real fight to grab it, so there are not many troubles in this regard, even the scholarly Wang family, this kind of thing is not running.

The Chen family is prosperous, and the elders are relatively long-lived, so the time left for the younger generations to fight for the inheritance is very long. And everyone is very talented, and the eldest son does not have an absolute advantage that can overwhelm everyone, whether it is a concubine or a side child. There is the possibility of competition, of course, it is also possible that the Chen family uses this method to increase the intensity of competition within the family and train the younger generations of the family. After all, in addition to this industry, outsiders seem to be very easy to talk about, but in fact, they are deceitful and deceitful. One mistake can cause big problems, and without the right talent and character, you really can't do this business.

So including Chen Shu, the children of the Chen family have joined the ranks of the competing family heads, although the family looks very chaotic, but everyone competes with each other, which can be regarded as improving the strength of the Chen family, in the eyes of outsiders, the Chen family is also very dynamic, such competition, at the beginning was very stable, everyone is using their talents to compete, to show their diplomatic level, in order to add points to themselves.

However, gradually the situation has changed a little, Chen Shu also said that Tianzheng Ling's water and soil are very good, and the life expectancy of people there is generally relatively high, in other places, sixty years old can almost prepare for the future, and if you can live to the age of seventy, you can be called a birthday star, if you can continue to set records, at the age of eighty, then the local law will not be controlled, as long as you have that strength, kill people and set fires as you like, the government will stop at most, and will not arrest.

But in Tianzhengling, sixty-year-old people can be seen everywhere, seventy-year-olds are also many, eighty-year-olds can occasionally see some, ninety-year-olds can still go out, although there are not many, but there are also, so, the elders have been in power for a long time, and the younger generation has become middle-aged and elderly, but they are still juniors, after all, the elders are also not young to take over, and naturally they will not let go easily, so the so-called "juniors" have less and less pure ideas.

When the juniors have already got married, have children, and even the children have begun to grow up, they are still a trainee, a subordinate, or an auxiliary officer, in this case, of course, their psychology will change, breeding some dark things, this time of competition, is not the original kind of competition that completely relies on talent, competition, there are a lot of bad tricks.

"Eighteen years ago, Tianhua's call for Longlai to do it became louder and louder." Chen Shu finished talking about the Chen family, and then began to continue the topic just now: "My father, that is, the head of the Chen family, understands that if Tianhua starts a war against Longlai, then Tianzheng will definitely become the front line of the war, and the Chen family must also send troops, although the Chen family is not short of troops, but it is very lacking in generals who are good at fighting, and the children and sons-in-law of the family are biased towards Wen, of course, with Tianhua's national strength, victory is inevitable, but the price paid by the Chen family must be not small." ”

"So, my father came up with a method, and that was to merge diplomatically!" Speaking of the Chen family's most praised thing over the years, Chen Shu's face also released a light, he introduced: "My father and the elders of the family have gone through strict planning, and finally formulated a perfect plan, which can allow the Chen family to achieve the goal of merging the Longlai Kingdom through pure diplomatic means, so that the Chen family can not only make the Chen family famous, but also avoid a lot of losses caused by the war." ”

"However, although my father made that plan, he didn't implement it himself." Chen Shu sighed and said: "Father, what they mean is to let us juniors implement this plan, and we are completely responsible, as for who is responsible for what specific work, it is up to us to decide, and then everyone has already seen that the elders plan to use the performance of our juniors in this plan to decide who will inherit the position of the head of the family, and it is from that time that things have become unmanageable." ”

"Such a large-scale diplomatic merger plan, there must be a leader, and a diplomatic team headed by the leader, at the same time, some people are also needed to do some unimportant work, such an obvious priority, naturally it is impossible for everyone's demands to be satisfied, although the elders mean to rely on observing the process of this mission to decide the new head of the family, but in fact, before the mission begins, the final result of this competition has been decided."

"My eldest brother and I, as well as one of my cousins, the three of us are the most likely leaders, and the other brothers began to choose a camp around the three of us, and in the end, my camp has the largest number of people and the strongest strength, and that cousin defected and joined my camp, so that mission, I was the leader, that is, I was the implementer of the diplomatic merger plan, and I merged the Longlai Kingdom into Tianhua!"

it! It's a big shot! He Ping didn't have any practical feelings, after all, he was not from this world, but Wen Fang and Qi Meng Qi Lie were already dumbfounded, although the plan was formulated by the Chen family's elders, and Chen Shu and they were just implementing it, but this is also not a simple matter, it is definitely a fight with Zhao Zheng leading troops to destroy the Lance family, besides, Zhao Zheng destroyed the Lance family, and there was also a reason for He Ping to help, so Chen Shu and others, who had the help of the elders, were already at the same level as Zhao Zheng.

But soon, they had new questions, if as Chen Shu said, when the Longlai Kingdom was merged more than ten years ago, it was he who completed the diplomatic plan as the leader, then his merits should be no less than Zhao Zhengcai, according to the information they have, the annexation of the Longlai Kingdom did not have any accidents, in the absence of accidents, why did Chen Shu, as the leader, not only did not inherit the position of the head of the Chen family, but also dragged the family to the Pinghua Territory?
