Chapter 337
The Zhao family is powerful.
His crown prince and even the current emperor are closely related to the Zhao family!
The prince's current status is all dependent on the Zhao family, so it is naturally impossible for him to give up his relationship with the Zhao family!
But the Zhao family's reputation among the people is not good, and few major families have a particularly good relationship with the Zhao family!
The prince sighed:
"For example, the seventh brother, he has the support of the martial arts family. It is said that he is also in contact with Yichan Palace secretly. Not to mention his talent, even though I am older than him, have an orthodox position, and have more emperor's spirit, my strength is still inferior. How much is he!"
"The so-called step by step step by step difference, if there are no accidents and variables in the future, my seventh brother and I will only be farther behind."
Speaking of this, a deep helplessness flashed in the prince's eyes.
The talents of these princes are good, but they are still incomparable with such peerless geniuses as Chen Fan and Wu Tianjiao. Even with the blessing of the emperor's spirit, it is hard to say how many of them will be able to be promoted to the tenth level in the future!
But the son of heaven has a long lifespan, and it is possible to have a hundred or even hundreds of sons in the future.
Among these princes, only the princes who are talented enough or have enough means have the chance to become a great treasure.
Of course, the prince and the seventh prince are still relatively talented.
Some princes can't even advance to the master level, and can only break through through the Lingyi Pill...
Of course, unless the possibility of promotion is completely lost, otherwise, the prince who is generally a little bit arrogant may not take the Lingyi pill.
For example, the nineteenth prince of the first emperor, who is only one step away from the master, if he wants, he can naturally get something like the spirit pill, but he doesn't want it in his heart!
And the prince said again: "Not only the seventh brother, but also my thirteenth brother. His mother is from the Yu family. Although his background is worse than that of my seventh brother and me, there may not be a possibility of catching up in the future!"
Yujia? !
When Chen Fan heard Yujia, his eyes narrowed.
This Yu family refers to the family that Yu Hengcheng belongs to.
Families at the level of the Seven Great Masters all have at least Dao fruit masters in charge, and there are many ten-fold existences. Even Chen Fan now has no confidence to resist them!
And heard the sigh of the prince.
Chen Fan's expression was also a little subtle.
He thought how stable the crown prince's status was, but now it seems that the other princes have their own reliance, and the next emperor may not even be any of the current princes.
Maybe hundreds of years later, Emperor Daqian will give birth to a son or daughter with a talent against the heavens...
The prince narrowed his eyes:
"Prestige can't be improved in a day or two, and it's too illusory... But besides that, there are opportunities to actually compete for the emperor's air."
"My Liu family's royal family, since the first emperor, has a special etiquette, which will be held every ten years. The heirs of the royal family will compete on the same stage to show their status, strength, and most importantly, their power!"
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and nodded suddenly.
"Could it be that this is the 'Gift of Yuanshou' that the Seventh Prince said, and it's for competing for the emperor's spirit?"
The prince also nodded, "That's right."
Chen Fan's expression was slightly stern.
The last reign title of the first emperor was "Yuan Shou", which is said to be because he hunted a certain divine beast while hunting.
I don't know if there is a relationship between this "Yuan Shou Zhili" and the "Yuan Shou" year name.
The prince continued:
"The final winner of this Yuanshou ceremony will be blessed with a lot of 'emperor's aura', which is even more advantageous than me as a crown prince!"
For the Daqian royal family, the temperament of the emperor is equal to the symbol of talent plus strength, but it is more important than anything else!
"Although my talent and family background are strong, I can't really suppress all my brothers. However, this Yuanshou Ceremony is not only about our strength, but more about our ability..."
"The contest between the geniuses under his command has more weight than the contest between our royal disciples! Even the final competition is a competition between the geniuses we recruited!"
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, feeling the prince's agitation.
"There is an extremely important and special rule in the last part of the Yuanshou ceremony. All participating royal disciples need to find a genius disciple under the age of forty to enter a secret place of my royal family and compete for auspicious beasts..."
"This process is called 'competing for the deer'. Whoever can compete for the beast will get a lot of blessings from the emperor."
"Chasing the stag?"
Chen Fan was startled: "Under forty?"
The prince nodded: "That's right, I am going to use forty years as the youth standard, and people over forty years old are not allowed to participate in this competition!"
Chen Fan couldn't help but said again: "Could it be that there are so many talents in the imperial capital, and there is still no genius under the age of forty who is better than me?"
The prince laughed and shook his head when he heard this: "You don't need to underestimate yourself. Wu Tianjiao and the seventh brother don't pay attention to your performance in the martial arts academy. I've heard Caiying say it a long time ago!"
"Anyone under the age of forty who can defeat the Nine-Layered Monster Beast? There aren't many in the whole world! Even if there are many geniuses in my Prince's Mansion, there is no second one who can have such strength at this age!"
Chen Fan underestimated the horror shown by his age.
Then the prince also solemnly said:
"During the last Yuanshou ceremony, the late emperor hadn't passed away, and that Yuanshou ceremony had nothing to do with my brothers, and three years later, the new Yuanshou ceremony will also be ours. Waiting for the prince and princess to participate in the first Yuanshou ceremony!"
"This Yuanshou ceremony is the first Yuanshou ceremony of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and it even represents the abnormality of the fortune of the new era, which is extremely important..."
"And wait another ten years, at your age you should still be able to participate in the second round!"
Hearing this, Chen Fan was stunned, but also felt a subtle sense of disobedience.
I can participate in two "Ceremony of Yuanshou" at most, even if I perform well and win both games, the prince will still have to find a new talent in the future...
As a prince, he is expected to break through the tenth level in the future. His longevity is not to say that he can compare with his father, but it is not a problem to live for hundreds of thousands of years. If you want to ensure that Yuanshou's gift wins every time, you will have to search for geniuses. So much!
As an emperor, with enough imperial power, he will be even stronger!
The advantages of imperial disciples over ordinary warriors are really too great.
In fact, with Chen Fan's talent, even if he can't make a breakthrough, it should be no problem at all, and he can be a general under the Son of Heaven in the future.
In addition to Yuanshou's gift, it is also quite useful!
After explaining everything clearly, Prince Liu Lun also looked at Chen Fan with burning enthusiasm:
"Chen Fan, I don't know if you are willing to help me, use it for me, and help me win the first place in the Yuanshou ceremony?!"
This is also the first time the crown prince formally invited Chen Fan.
Chen Fan nodded: "Chen Fan will definitely do his best."
Regardless of whether he wants it or not, in the current situation, it is naturally impossible for him to say no to it.
The crown prince laughed, then turned his hands over and took out another token.
"This token is the Order of the Guest of the Prince's Mansion. From now on, Chen Fan, you are also a member of the Prince's Mansion..."
"You can rest assured that you can practice in the imperial capital. I will order someone to guard your family in Qinghe County! In the past three years, if you have any needs, just ask... I will try my best to help you operate in the embroidery building, help The faster you can improve, the better!"
Chen Fan's eyes froze, and after receiving the token, he took the opportunity to say to the crown prince: "The Pu family and Yichan Palace seem to believe that I have something to do with Pu Zhongyu's death..."
The prince shook his head:
"Don't worry about these trivial matters, they have no evidence, and they will never make things difficult for you on the surface! Although the Lingshen Dao Sect is strong, but it is not my Dagan sect, they may not dare to go too far..."
"As for the Pu family? Heh, it's just a small family in the northwest. You don't have to worry about it. I'll help you deal with it."
The prince was very indifferent, but full of indifference, as if he didn't take this matter seriously at all.
Chen Fan also nodded.
As a grand prince, the prince may still have a gap in strength, but his status is really high. It is not a small trouble for him, but it is extremely easy for him to deal with.
The prince said everything that should be said, and Chen Fan also lost a lot of worries.
Although I didn't come to the imperial capital voluntarily, it may not necessarily be a bad thing.
