Chapter 76 The bastard in ancient times who wanted to concentrate on his career 40
In the past few years, several of Yuan Xi's brothers and sisters have gotten married.
The candidates were chosen by themselves, and the couple got along harmoniously.
"When the child is born, you, as an uncle, have to give me some good things. You have given gifts to your eldest brother's children, so you can't favor one over the other."
"Send them all, third brother, come on too."
Song Yunzhi complained unceremoniously: "You are not married yet you have the nerve to give birth."
"Yuanxi, Yuanxi."
Song Yuanhua and the other three ran over panting, "Light up, light up."
The three of them, Song Yuanhua, had already gotten married in recent years. They lived a happy life and would often come to Chaoxia Temple for a walk. It was a coincidence that today, the three of them came to see the morning glow with their wives. They passed by the stand where the spirit-testing stones were placed. Many people were praying for safety there. They just looked there for a while, but they didn't expect to see the tester by such a coincidence. The spiritual stone lit up.
Yuan Xi immediately looked over with his spiritual consciousness, and immediately understood and felt a little pity that the man was too old.
An old hunter with a broken leg at the foot of the mountain, accompanied by his family, came to pay homage to Zhaoxia Temple. Naturally, you will not miss the tradition of Zhaoxia Temple, touch the stone and pray for peace.
Something happened at this touch. When the spirit-detecting stone lit up, there was an uproar around him. The person in charge of the guard didn't react at first, but then he immediately stopped the person and informed Aoki, the supervisor of Asaka Temple.
Qingzhu and Qingmu, one is responsible for the mountain and the other is responsible for the bottom.
The old Orion family was at a loss, and even more panicked after being stopped.
Aoki arrived in time to comfort them, brought them into Zhaoxia Temple, and received them well. Looking at the worried family, Aoki comforted him: "Don't be afraid, husband. This is a good thing. Maybe it will be a great blessing for your family to fall in the eyes of noble people."
Finally, Yuan Xi arranged for his family to live in a village near Zhaoxia Temple, and the old hunter also became a member of Zhaoxia Temple at the foot of the mountain. He didn't have to work, and he only had to walk around the spiritual stone from time to time. All of a sudden, the Orion, who was precarious and could die at the mouth of wild beasts at any time, turned into a wealthy family with dozens of acres of land and a big house. The old Orion family was very grateful.
In the days that followed, he met many important people, including the emperor. He felt that his life had reached its peak, and the spirit-measuring stone platform had become the permanent residence of the old Orion. Whenever a big shot came, he would go and touch him. Later, he simply stayed there all day long, just like clocking in at work, leaving early and coming back late, so that he could save the time of coming and going.
He was still wondering if there was something wrong with these noble people. They liked to watch people touch stones, and they would make a fuss and scream when the stones lit up. The old hunter went from being uneasy at the beginning to feeling calm.
The lucky deeds of the old Orion family spread widely, attracting the envy of many people, and the number of people visiting Zhaoxia Temple increased day by day. But the next lucky person never appeared again.
The emperor saw the old Orion sitting in a daze alone in the royal study after returning to the palace, and then sighed for a long time. He wanted someone from the royal family to join Yuan Xi's family. It's a pity that he has tested the entire royal family and no one is qualified.
"It doesn't matter, I can still live. I hope that my descendants can do as I wish."
It is better than others who are their own sons and grandsons at that time.
After thinking about it, he rewarded several beauties to his sons. If you give birth to a few more, maybe one of them will have great fortune.
After receiving the beauties rewarded by the emperor, the princes smiled bitterly. Is the father using them as breeding boars? My father has three thousand beauties in his palace, why don’t you work hard on your own?
It's not that the princes didn't work hard, but no matter how many children they gave birth to, if they didn't have this fate, they wouldn't have it, and they wouldn't force it in the future.
In recent years, the city of Yanjing has been peaceful, the princes no longer compete for power, and the ministers no longer take sides. As soon as Yuan Xi's health pill came out, everyone knew that the emperor could live for a long time and it would not be a problem to work for another twenty years. In this case, we can talk about the future later. Who knows what the situation will be like in a few decades.
Prince Xian (sixth prince), who had been secretly poking fun at others, still didn't give up his desire to rise to the top. Yuan Xi's sudden appearance made him helpless. He also coveted Yuan Xi's ability, but he didn't have the qualifications, so he changed to another one. The method is to give birth to a child. As long as a qualified child is born, he will be the next Song Zhenren.
Will his throne be far behind?
As if he saw the throne beckoning, he lingered in the backyard. Good news came one after another, and children were born one after another. Facts have proved that if you have too many children, you will really not be able to support them. Looking at the account books handed over by the princess, Prince Xian became astonished.
In the end, like his brothers, he gave up and let things take their course.
time flies.
The Yan State became increasingly powerful under the emperor's rule. After a northern nomad attacked the Yan State's border, the imperial court sent troops to fight back and occupied the grassland in two years.
Surprisingly, no one from the civil and military officials objected to this kind of external expansion. Because they were greedy for the resources of the grassland, Yuan Xi's elixirs, talismans, and seals were not free. Instead, they required rare items to be traded. After the Yan Kingdom was plundered, their eyes naturally turned outside.
After one of the prince's daughters was found to be qualified when she was three years old, the princes and ministers all agreed that the prince would be the next emperor. That grand apprenticeship ceremony also made many people envious, and the craze for having children reappeared.
The other princes also fell silent, and the less ambitious ones directly expressed their goodwill to the prince and stayed in the Yan Kingdom to assist the prince. Anyway, the territory of the Yan Kingdom had doubled and more manpower was needed to manage it. How could outsiders be as good as their own brothers.
A few ambitious people, unwilling to succumb to others, directly asked the emperor for instructions to expand their territory and establish vassal states.
The emperor also agreed and gave his sons a group of soldiers and supplies, asking them to go out and expand the territory, while the rest stayed here to fight among themselves.
"On the world map hanging in the imperial study room, you choose a place for yourself and see where you are going. Remember that you only have one chance. If you fail, just come back and be an idle worker."
Bringing the three sons to the map, they saw a huge map occupying the entire wall of the Imperial Study Room. The material was very special and impervious to water and fire. Like the portrait of the founder of Zhaoxia Temple, it was refined by Yuan Xi. of magic weapon. A lot of information is recorded on the map, including what delicious specialties are available in such and such a place, what mineral veins were discovered in such and such a place, and what rare spiritual plants grow in such and such a place.
This world map was created by Yuan Xi. His cultivation has reached its peak over the years, and he has visited all over the Yan Kingdom, so he can only focus on the outside world. He embarked on a journey to travel around the world, and thoughtfully drew a map to record his experiences. He swore that he was just recording and had no bad intentions at all.
As for why he was seen by the emperor, that is another story.
The three princes each chose a place to conquer.
Prince Xian is also very ambitious, so he doesn't pretend to be a tourist anymore. He took soldiers and supplies and went to another continent.
The other princes were very unhappy with this brother who was very good at pretending. Prince Xian was also very self-aware and chose the farthest place.
