Chu Chen told the hundred officials about history, moved with affection, and knew with reason, in front of the righteousness, the hundred officials were made to tears by Chu Chen's words, Lu Youzhi stood up from the ground, sat on the chair, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves from time to time.

"You remember, you are not loyal to me Chu Chen, nor is it someone sitting on this dragon chair, you are loyal to the people of the world!"

"Emperor of Heaven, the old minister knows his mistake, please ask the Emperor of Heaven to surrender his guilt!" Lu Youzhi knelt on the ground again and asked Chu Chen to plead guilty, and the other ministers also knelt down one after another, asking Chu Chen to surrender their guilt, they really didn't think so much in their hearts, such as today's country dominates the world, and the people's lives are getting better year by year, and the ministers don't take the people's affairs to heart much, and the most considered thing is how to get promoted and make a fortune, otherwise, Dugu Yuan, Li Ao, When Zhao Ling'er was inspecting the four realms, he would not kill people's heads, full of warm thoughts, those officials thought that the emperor was far away, and no one knew the ugly and bad things they did, but they thought wrong, after all, there were still good officials in the Heavenly Empire!

"Get up, you are not guilty, but you no longer have a sense of crisis in your hearts, this emperor actually has no other requirements for you, only one point, that is, treat the people well, make decisions for the people, don't let the people be wronged, and don't let the people have nowhere to do justice!" Chu Chen raised his hand and said.

"The ministers must obey the decree of the Emperor of Heaven!" all the ministers said in unison.

"You have not disappointed this emperor, the Celestial Empire must be prosperous with you. Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Xuan Chu Xingyun, Chu Qingshui go to the hall." ”

Chu Xingyun and Chu Qingshui are the people who Chu Chen decided to choose the emperor of the day, they have been back for a while, Chu Chen has not summoned them, so he let them idle at home, however, he still observed the two of them with his divine sense every day, and found that both of them were very good, and they were not idle during the time that Xianfu was at home, and Chu Chen felt relieved that the emperor was handed over to any of them.

"Meet the Emperor of Heaven, may the Emperor of Heaven live long live, long live, long live!" Chu Xingyun and Chu Qingshui came to the hall and bowed to Chu Chen.

"Flat. Chu Chen said: "This emperor will choose one of the two of you to succeed to the throne of the prince, and after the emperor leaves, this heavenly dynasty will be inherited by one of the two of you, today, this emperor will be in front of the civil and military officials, a good test of you, if your answer satisfies the emperor and the hundred officials, who is the prince!"

As soon as Chu Chen's words came out, Chu Xingyun and Chu Qingshui were suddenly shocked, they had always just thought that Chu Chen was coming back to get together with the family, so they summoned them back, but they didn't expect that he was going to pass on the throne to them, and for a while, the two of them were a little overwhelmed.

"Emperor of Heaven, you are still so young, there is no need to establish the position of prince so early, the minister does not dare to accept it!" After coming over for a while, Chu Xingyun came back to his senses and kowtowed, and after that, Chu Qingshui also kowtowed and said that he did not dare to accept it.

"You are the most elite descendants of my Chu clan, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor Taishang both strongly recommend the two of you to this emperor, and this emperor also knows that the two of you have the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and in the future, the emperor will hand over the throne to you, and this emperor is also relieved. Chu Chen said: "If this emperor leaves, you don't sit on this throne, who in the whole world can stand up to this position, do you two want me to let the Great Heavenly Empire fall apart, return to the countries to fight for hegemony, and the people live in dire straits?"

"Don't dare!" the two panicked, they didn't expect the matter to be so serious, but they couldn't accept this fact for a while, this accident came too suddenly, and they were not prepared at all.

"It's good if you don't dare!" Chu Chen said: "Get up, now, give you a question for this emperor, listen to it, whoever satisfies this emperor and the hundred officials with his answer will be the prince!"

"Once upon a time, there was an old man, with his three sons and two daughters to flee the famine, along the way, everyone was very hungry, one by one was about to starve to death, but the old man only had three steamed buns left, a person ate a steamed bun to have the hope of living, eat two steamed buns to have the strength to continue to hurry, eat three steamed buns, only to have the strength to rush to the place where there is food, may I ask, what to do, in order to make this family of six people have more people to survive. Chu Chen said slowly.

After listening to Chu Chen's question, not only Chu Xingyun and Chu Qingshui fell into contemplation, but even the civil and military officials fell into contemplation, for a while, the entire hall could be heard falling needles, Chu Chen looked at it, many officials had begun to shake their heads, this question, I am afraid it is difficult to answer.

"Old Lu, do you have an answer?" After about a stick of incense, Chu Chen opened his mouth to ask Lu Youdao.

"Back to the Emperor of Heaven, the old minister didn't. Lu Youzhi showed a wry smile and shook his head.

"Do you have an answer?" Chu Chen's gaze swept to the civil and military officials, and the civil and military officials immediately shook their heads. Chu Chen said again: "Zhongqing just speak bluntly, even if the answer is wrong, this emperor will not blame you." ”

"Cao Hai, you are the head of the household, in charge of my Great Heavenly Dynasty's money and grain, how to feed more people with the least amount of food, you should know better than anyone else, you can talk about it. Chu Chen's gaze fell on Cao Hai's body below.

Although the old minister already has the answer in his heart, he can't say that if it is the same as a certain prince's promise, it will be the old minister's sin. Cao Hai came out and replied respectfully.

"You old fox, just bend your intestines, okay, then let Qing Shui and Xingyun answer. Chu Chen scolded Cao Haidao with a smile, and then asked Chu Xingyun and Chu Qingshui to talk back and forth about this question. "Xingyun, you are two years older than Qing Shui, let Qing Shui answer this question first, Qing Shui, are you willing?"

"I want to. Chu Qingshui said: "Since there are only three steamed buns left, and one person can't be divided, then give all three steamed buns to the strongest one among the six, and let him live, it's better than everyone dying together." ”

Hearing Chu Qingshui's words, many officials nodded, and only this method can let a person survive.

"Well, yes, there is some truth, Xingyun, what is your answer?" Chu Chen nodded, and his gaze fell on Chu Xingyun.

"Back to the Emperor of Heaven, the minister's answer is similar to Qing Shui's, but when the three steamed buns are given to the strongest of them, the strongest man must rush back with a lot of food, so that all six of them can survive. Chu Xingyun said, many ministers nodded one after another, but soon, Changyan spoke: "The Emperor of Heaven said just now, they are all dying of hunger, is it useful to rush back?"

"Back to King Yong'an, the Emperor of Heaven said that these six people are all starving to death, not that they have starved to death, I think as long as this strong man can rush back before they starve to death, they will definitely be saved. "Chu Xingyun Dao.

"Zhongqing, whose answer do you think is more satisfactory to you?" Chu Chen smiled and asked the civil and military officials.

"Emperor of Heaven, Chu Xingyun's answer is even more satisfying to the minister. Lu You went up the road, and the others followed.
