Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Qi Haochen naturally would not refuse such a thing. Openly stating his status and position would also be beneficial to the harmony and stability of the entire fiefdom.

After all, those who could attend this welcoming banquet were all Qi Chen’s own people, and they were also aiming for future wealth and glory.

The appearance of Qi Haochen ensured that Qi Chen would have a successor, and also gave reassurance to the people following Qi Chen.

Otherwise, everyone would have to worry about what would happen after Qi Chen left at any time, and would have no time to focus on building their fiefdom.

"The situation in the fiefdom is pretty good. Chen'er, how are you doing in the capital?"

In the study room in the front yard, Qi Chen called Qi Haochen out, and the father and son chose to be frank with each other.

Qi Haochen is already old. In a few years, he will get married and start a family. There is even a chance that the emperor will grant him a marriage.

"Father, I am doing well in the capital. I have my third brother and his friends to help me, so I am safe."

Each of Shen Yao's children has his own abilities. In the previous incident on the northern border, Shen Cheng became famous in a battle beside Qi Chen, and now he has joined the army and is in charge of military power.

Although this military power was only an appointment by the fiefdom and could only be regarded as Qi Chen's private army, it was something that others could not even dream of.

You have to know that the area of ​​the entire fiefdom is not small, and Shen Cheng is still young. Even if he relies on seniority in the future, he can climb up.

Compared to his father Wei Fan, who had to sell himself for a small position, Shen Cheng and the others were treated much better.

Shen Cheng is developing well, and Shen Shi and others who followed Qi Haochen to the capital have also performed well.

In Qi Chen's eyes, these were all natural helpers to his son, so there was no reason not to promote them.

"Chen'er, you should spend more time with your brothers and sisters."

The existence of mutual assistance like this is much more stable than general alliances.

Qi Haochen naturally understood this truth, and he smiled and teased his father to help more, because his fifth sister's marriage was still unsettled.

Qi Chen: …

Qi Chen rolled his eyes at Qi Haochen and said, "Your mother is the one who is taking care of your fifth sister.

Besides, the people who have always been by your side still depend on the emperor’s opinion.”

Qi Haochen now lives and works mainly in the capital, so it is impossible for Qi Chen and Shen Yao to get help like they did before. This is also a disadvantage of being too involved with imperial power.

Qi Haochen nodded and said, "The marriage between the third brother and the fourth sister was suggested by the emperor's uncle, so we have to do it.

Fortunately, my third brother and fourth sister are living a good life, otherwise my son would feel guilty."

It was all due to his involvement. Since the death of his half-sister Qi Yingyue, Qi Haochen was left with only five half-siblings.

Not to mention the family concept in ancient times, even in modern society, the saying "One hero needs three helpers" is still popular.

The marriage between Shen Shi and Shen Yun was generally good. At least the emperor did not match them up randomly.

Otherwise, it would be like the situation in several other royal palaces. Qi Haochen shook his head helplessly. Every day is like a play, with one person finishing his performance and another taking the stage. It is very chaotic.

"It's good that you can figure it out. After all, these things can't be avoided just because you feel guilty or not."

The emperor is the master of the entire Qi State, and his words are golden.

"Adjust your attitude. The emperor won't target you for no reason."

After all, the reason why the emperor raised so many royal children in the capital was because he had no son of his own.

No matter who the Qi Kingdom is handed over to, the royal bloodline must not be allowed to decline.

The emperor allowed Qi Haochen and others to fight each other in order to screen personnel.

Qi Haochen... Qi Chen glanced sideways and thought that the chance was great.

Although Qi Haochen was relatively young among these people, age was never a problem for a royal family member. Moreover, judging from the emperor's physical condition, it was entirely possible for him to live a few more years.

To be on the safe side, they should increase Qi Haochen's competitive advantage in other aspects.

For example, fief

Two days later, a welcoming banquet was held in the palace.

Although only the people from Changzhou Prefecture came here, those from Dongchang Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture, even Quzhou Prefecture and the northern border can take the initiative to go there.

Anyway, Qi Haochen didn't really come back to rest, so Qi Chen taking him for a walk around was just what he wanted.

Shen Yao reached out and tapped Qi Haochen's little head, "You don't feel tired."

Qi Chen had the idea of ​​going out on an inspection tour a long time ago, but due to the issue of refugees, he had kept it to himself and never brought it up.

Now that the refugee issue has been resolved, and Qi Haochen has just returned from the capital, what are we waiting for? We should go out and declare our sovereignty.

"Mother, rather than being tired, I am more afraid of regretting it in the future."

Who doesn't want that position? Not to mention those far away, the royal palaces where the princes take turns to sit continue to send people to the capital even though they know it is dangerous. This is not the right idea.

"My son has seen a lot in the capital over the past few years, and he understands that it is not easy for mother and father to do things."

Therefore, he had to win the favor of his uncle the Emperor and become the successor.

"Silly child, you are my mother's biological son, and I am willing to work hard for you.

Since you want to go, just go with your father and take a look." Shen Yao naturally did not go out. With such a large family and a large business, someone had to stay behind.

Qi Haochen only stayed in Changzhou Prefecture for a few days before he packed his bags and left with Qi Chen.

The father and son led a large group of people and marched straight along the official road outside Changzhou Prefecture.

It first started from Dongchang Prefecture, stayed in Dongchang Prefecture for half a month, then turned to Guangping Prefecture, entered Quzhou Prefecture from Guangping Prefecture, and on the way back passed the northern border for a short stop, and finally returned to Changzhou Prefecture.

After following this process, Qi Haochen has transformed from a white dough ball into a black dough ball.

Standing under the scorching sun and looking at her son with his white teeth showing, Shen Yao felt extremely distressed.

I've been hanging around outside for more than two months, and I didn't promise to come back as soon as possible.

Qi Chen: …

Qi Chen, who was complained about, rubbed his nose in embarrassment. This was because plans could not change quickly enough. He encountered various unexpected accidents on the road and had to deal with them before leaving.

It is true that no one could have predicted the occurrence of an accident, but as far as the outcome was concerned, Qi Chen was more satisfied with Qi Haochen, thinking that his son was born for that position.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao didn't understand why Qi Haochen was fine after coming back, but Qi Chen was a little confused and his mind didn't seem to be very clear.

Later, from Shen Shi's narration, Shen Yao knew that the real reason for Qi Chen's change of attitude was because of Qi Haochen, which made Shen Yao more relieved.

As expected, Qi Chen only had this one son, so he had to make good plans for his son no matter what.

After staying at home for another half a month, Qi Haochen chose a day that was suitable for traveling and returned to the capital city where he had been away for several months with a large group of people.

As a relative, Shen Yao has long been accustomed to the frequent separations in recent years.

Standing in the courtyard and watching the other party walk away, Shen Yao picked up the accounts that had been delivered earlier and carefully went through the numbers on them.

Soon, in a few years, the goals they set will be achieved.

The system was also surprised. Unknowingly, it seemed that most of the natural disaster had passed.

It thought the host would suffer hardships while farming, but it didn't expect the host to end up living a life of power struggle, palace fighting, and infrastructure construction.

"Host, we will have great potential in the future when we enter the world of palace fighting."

The system feels that the host has great plasticity, which allows it to discover new advantages, all of which are shining points for completing tasks in the future.

'If there is a chance, I would definitely choose a more proactive option.'

Rather than relying on others, Shen Yao prefers to rely on herself. Unfortunately, her identity is limited, so she has to compromise and bow her head in some mission worlds. But this does not mean that Shen Yao is a person who likes to do so.

Smilingly, he told the system that he could continue to select the next mission world.

'Nowadays, the world has shifted from escaping natural disasters to post-disaster reconstruction. The area around Changzhou Prefecture is stable and is the first choice for many people.'

Today, the population of Changzhou Prefecture has increased year by year, and the value created has also doubled.

Even though it was a bit tiring to handle the accounts on a daily basis, Shen Yao felt that she could still persevere when she saw the glittering income.

As expected, doing business makes people feel comfortable, especially when they feel a sense of accomplishment. Shen Yao even wanted someone to send two more account books over.

Since coming into this world until today, Shen Yao has lived safely for more than ten years.

Qi Haochen has grown from an ignorant baby into a young boy. Although the boy's shoulders are young, he can shoulder the responsibility of the entire fiefdom and even the State of Qi.

Shen Yao and Qi Chen are developing better and better, and Qi Haochen's confidence in the capital is becoming more mature.

After the last few princes who competed with him fell one after another, Qi Haochen no longer had any rivals on the surface, which was really cause for celebration.

"Where does the joy come from? Who can I congratulate?"

Qi Haochen sat on a chair and smiled as he invited Shen Shi and others to sit down and have a rest.

"Now, on the surface, it seems that we are in the best situation, but in fact it is just a delaying tactic.

We can’t be too confident until everything is settled.”

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

What if a madman really jumps out? There have been similar incidents before.

Qi Haochen didn't understand what champagne was, but he felt that he shouldn't let his guard down at the last moment. He had already walked ninety-nine steps, and if he really fell at the last step, he would definitely be very angry.

Shen Shi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect his younger brother to think this way, but it was also consistent with his understanding of Qi Haochen.

"The most important thing is to see the arrangements made by the Emperor," because they are not the ones who make the decisions on some matters.

Just like this war without gunpowder, is it true that the one who stands out is the winner? The emperor did not give a clear explanation of this, and what made them think so was just the unspoken rules of doing things for many years.

If the emperor declared this rule invalid, Qi Haochen would have nothing to say.

After all, this is not something that can be accomplished by simply arguing with reason; the outcome depends entirely on the emperor's decision.

Qi Haochen fiddled with the teacup in his hand, "Third brother, what do you think the emperor means?"

Shen Shi touched his chin and said, "As far as I know, the emperor is upright and honest, so he shouldn't delay for too long."

Regardless of whether this candidate is Qi Haochen (nine out of ten), the emperor will select the candidate and train him with all his strength. Just like the strategies the emperor adopted when his sons had not yet gotten into trouble.

However, these are just his own guesses. Shen Shi is not a worm in the emperor's stomach, and cannot guarantee that every word he says is true.

It is not impossible that the emperor would suddenly make a big reversal.

After all, he is the emperor, the master of Qi State who has the final say and can do anything.

Qi Haochen sighed, "I just hope that my uncle won't delay this matter for too long."

He can afford to wait, but others cannot. If it is one day later, innocent people may be injured or killed.

Qi Haochen felt that they were all relatives and there was no need to fight to the death.

Be decent and settle this matter as soon as possible. It will be good for everyone.

Unfortunately, Qi Haochen’s idea was good, but if the emperor really did as he wished, he would not be the emperor, let alone the ruler of the country.

The final decree was not to rule Qi Haochen as the heir to the imperial power, but to use Qi Haochen as an excuse to allocate several fiefs to Qi Chen.

Qi Haochen: ...

Qi Chen who got the news: …

Both father and son were stunned, especially Qi Haochen, who was shocked to see his opponents, who had originally wilted, getting ready to fight again.

Does the emperor want them to kill each other and fight to the death?

“Perhaps it’s more than that. The emperor may be worried that too many royal relatives have fiefs, which would be detrimental to the new emperor’s management.

At the moment, the title that was supposed to be given to Chen Er has been replaced with the fiefdom that the prince is to manage, which means that it is slowly being taken back."

Because this can be considered as keeping the benefits within the family, Qi Haochen and his son Qi Chen are equal, and the fiefdom given to Qi Chen will become an important capital for Qi Haochen to fight for power.

The original political structure of Qi State had some problems. The dispersed fiefdoms could not be taken back. In theory, the territory controlled by the royal family would become smaller and smaller.

Now the emperor wants to slowly rectify the situation and not leave any trouble for the future? Shen Yao guessed the deeper meaning behind the emperor's move.

"I'm afraid that the emperor is thinking more deeply. Chen'er has been alone in the capital for many years. In the end, he is just a chess piece in the hands of the emperor."

Chess pieces have no right to choose; they must obey the emperor's arrangements no matter what.

Suddenly he felt a little discouraged. It wasn't that Qi Chen was unhappy that his fiefdom was going to increase again, but all of this was exchanged for his son's future. Qi Chen felt very uncomfortable.

Shen Yao smiled and reassured Qi Chen that this was not the worst time yet.

A new round of fighting is about to start, but their situation is not the same as before. The emperor does not want to appoint an heir so quickly, so they can just force him.

After talking to Qi Chen for a long time, Qi Chen's lonely eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he let out a hearty laugh.

"Ma'am, thanks to you."

Qi Chen felt that he was blessed by the gods to marry Yao'er. If it weren't for the coincidence, he wouldn't have the troubles he has today. He would probably have to live a lonely life, and the rich foundation accumulated by the palace for decades would eventually have to be returned to the national treasury.

"Your Majesty, you and I are one as husband and wife. I am where I am today thanks to your appreciation of me."

Without Qi Chen, Shen Yao would most likely have replaced him with someone else, but she might not have lived as easily as she does today.

Different choices bring different results. Shen Yao doesn’t think about what she has missed. She just wants the path she takes to be smooth and to get what she wants.

"Yes, you and I will work together to keep Chen'er safe."

Holding Shen Yao's hands behind his back, Qi Chen's expression was confident and he returned to his usual self.
