Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 183 The crown prince is established!Qingwu succeeds Li Xiangxue!

The second prince is indeed the oldest among all the princes except Jiang Xinghe.

If you live a long time, you will always have an advantage in memorizing texts.

There are 330 articles in the Taizu Dagao, only one is wrong.

However, Xu Chong picks out the wording, gives him two ratings, and gives him a rating of 'C'.

That is three votes.

"Including the first test, we are already behind by seven votes."

Xu Chong thought secretly, and then shouted loudly: "Third Prince, Jiang Xingyun!"

Just like that, a prince and daughter walked past Xu Chong.

Except for the sixth prince and the third princess who couldn't find any faults and omissions and had to give a first-class evaluation, the rest were more or less deducted points by Xu Chong.

Of course, points cannot be deducted for no reason.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that the results of this level of assessment will be completely invalidated, and another person will preside over it again.

And Xu Chong himself will also be convicted.

Although he doesn't care or be afraid, it doesn't have to be.

"Now there is only the last one left, let's see if she is that gentleman..."

Xu Chong looked at the roster in his hand and nodded in satisfaction, "Princess Nine, Jiang Shengjun!"

- Squeak.

The little eunuch at the door opened the door.

Then, a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old walked in.

Xu Chong was stunned for a while.

Looking at the facial features, it is indeed that gentleman.

But this temperament...

In addition to the detachment and agility inherent in age, and the graceful and reserved nature inherent in gender, there is actually such a trace of gentleness?
It seems that since the farewell to Arsenal, this girl has really regarded Jiang Xinghe as her life mentor.

Xu Chong was a little speechless.

At this time, Jiang Shengjun spoke bluntly: "Dare to ask Mr. Xu, can you start?"

This is the first among the many princes and princesses to call themselves by their surname.

I am well prepared.

Xu Chong nodded and said, "Please."

"One of the great edicts, all those who have a heart for Daqing..."

Jiang Shengjun recited.

After a while, Xu Chong had to admit that this girl was not just learning from Jiang Xinghe on the surface, but was really following Jiang Xinghe's path with all her heart.

That is the way of the crown prince.

The whole recitation process was smooth and free, with 330 laws and regulations eloquently, without any pause, without any mistakes or omissions.

You know, there are nearly 15 princes and princesses who have passed the first test.

Among them, there are only two who can do what Jiang Shengjun did.

And those two are still relatively older, and both are married.

Jiang Shengjun was only seven years old, but he got the same perfect score in this level where he was not dominant.

Originally, Xu Chong was going to take the risk and give five votes to the top class.

just now……

I'm afraid that anyone else would be unable to give a rating below the first grade.

"When did you start studying Taizu Dagao?"

Xu Chong asked.

"It's been many years. When I was still illiterate, my concubine was teaching me."

Jiang Shengjun blinked his big black jewel-like eyes, showing a bit of shame: "Did Jun'er recite it wrong?"

"No."

Xu Chong shook his head, "Your answer is very good."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

Jiang Shengjun bowed happily and left the room.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Xu Chong looked at the votes of each emperor's heir on the roster, touched his chin, "The gap has widened like this, if the subsequent assessment can also be maintained..."

"Xu Chong."

A voice sounded, and King Qian stepped in.

"Your Highness."

Xu Chong got up and saluted.

"You just said that the gap has widened, what do you mean?"

Qian Wang asked as he approached.

"Your Highness, please take a look."

Xu Chong presented the roster with both hands.

With just one glance, King Qian noticed Jiang Shengjun.

"Class A again?"

Qian Wang raised his eyebrows.

"There are no mistakes or omissions throughout, and the flow is extremely smooth."

Xu Chong nodded.

"Oh?"

King Qian was a little surprised, "I thought you knew her a long time ago, so I did it on purpose."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Chong's heart trembled.

It wasn't because of the panic of being caught out. After all, apart from being harsh, he wasn't biased in any substantial sense in this assessment, and it was even completely fair.

He is horrified.

The attitude of the king of terror.

seem……

Is it laissez-faire, or tacitly allowing yourself to be biased, and using false assessments to influence the candidate for the crown prince to a certain extent?
how can that be! ! !

Xu Chong couldn't figure it out.

Seeing Xu Chong's doubts, King Qian said slowly, "If you want the assessment to be completely fair, you must not use members of the royal family as examiners."

"But it's just superficially preventing the passing of time."

"Whether you have a position or not, as long as you are a normal person, you will definitely have a bias."

"It may be based on facial features, or based on words and demeanor, or based on simple impressions from hearsay."

"Since partiality cannot be completely eradicated, we should make a distinction in importance, which is stipulated by the royal patriarchal law."

"For example, the most important qualification assessment must be presided over by the Zong Renling himself to prevent falsification."

King Qian waved his hand, "As long as this is guaranteed, no matter how much bias is behind, it will not be too outrageous. After all, the top five will be determined in the end, and His Majesty will personally assess and judge the entry into the palace."

"His Highness's explanation is very reasonable."

Xu Chong looked deeply at King Qian, "However, the second round of assessment, after all, can achieve a difference of five votes."

"That is to say, to a considerable extent, you can control which five people will finally enter the palace."

"And I counted and counted, and it's just a legacy of the great ancestor."

"No matter what other backgrounds, connections, or official ranks, they are not worth mentioning in front of Li Chu."

Xu Chong said, and asked slowly: "It's not that I underestimate myself, but because of the identity of the Taizu's legacy, I shouldn't be qualified to take the exam, right?"

"You are right, relying on the legacy of the great ancestor alone, there is no way to participate in the first two tests..."

King Qian nodded and said: "For example, when I was assessed with His Majesty, the first test was conducted by the late emperor, and the second test was conducted by the former patriarch."

"Now, Your Majesty does not leave the apse. Theoretically, I should be the one to conduct the examination of the second level of assessment, and the assessment of Taizu's legacy is almost the same."

"But..."

Speaking of this, King Qian paused, and looked at Xu Chong meaningfully: "You are not the legacy of the great ancestor."

"!!!"

Xu Chong was startled, his eyes widened suddenly.

If it wasn't for Shenhun not warning, and he didn't sense any hostility from King Qian, he almost couldn't resist pushing the door open and fleeing the capital.

"Lou Youzhi gave you the Lu family's side technique, you probably haven't practiced it much, have you?"

King Qian continued, "Because, you won't age at all as your lifespan increases, right?"

"..."

Xu Chong was silent for a while, and asked: "Your Highness knows this, is it related to my cultivation in the Purple Mansion?"

"Yes."

Qian Wang nodded.

Immediately, he told Xu Chong what he once said to Lou Youzhi.

That is to say, those who have the blood of the Taizu must be incomplete, and it is impossible to succeed in cultivating the Tao.

"Shouyuan is short, is it caused by the incompleteness of the Zifu..."

Xu Chong murmured, but his heart was even more puzzled.

Since he already knew that he was not the legacy of Taizu, why did he still treat himself like this?It even pays more attention than before.

There must be something else to say here.

"In short, you have clearly awakened the memory of the blood, and you have actually cultivated Zhengyang strength, and the speed of cultivation is so fast, but in terms of planting Tao, you have broken the iron law that the royal family cannot plant Tao in the Zifu."

King Qian sighed, and said: "This makes me have to think of a person."

"Who?"

Xu Chong's heart tightened.

King Qian slowly spit out two words: "Taizu."

"..."

Xu Chong was stunned for a while, then said in a shy voice, "Your Highness wants to say, I am the reincarnation of Taizu?"

After much deliberation, this is the only possibility.

Sure enough, King Qian nodded.

"The theory of reincarnation is illusory. So far, there has not been a case to prove it, but this kind of theory has been around for a long time."

King Qian shrugged, "Apart from treating you as the reincarnation of Taizu, what else can I do? What if one day you completely get back the memory of Taizu from your blood..."

"..."

Xu Chong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What if, what if I'm just a special case of Zifu complete, and not the reincarnation of Taizu?"

"That's enough."

King Qian glanced at Xu Chong, his eyes were a little strange, "It's not that Taizu was reincarnated, he has the same aptitude as Taizu, what does that mean? It means that your existence may make Daqing's Guozuo last for thousands of years... That alone is enough for me to value you."

"All right……"

Xu Chong thought about it, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

A Taizu's bloodline who is not limited by longevity and can grow Tao Zifu, even if he can't reach the same level as Taizu in the end, the difference will not be too far.

As for why Daqing Guozuo will continue to stretch...

Because the blood has the same root and origin.

Whether it is to seize the throne after growing up, or to assist the regent, Daqing will always be Daqing.

Even if the name of the country is changed, it is still the same blood, which cannot be escaped.

That's what King Qian should have thought.

pity……

Xu Chong twitched the corner of his mouth.

He knew that he was not the reincarnation of some great ancestor.

The memory of another world, without any logical inconsistency, is very clear bit by bit.

This is enough to prove that he is still a time traveler.

"correct."

King Qian suddenly opened his mouth and asked casually: "You are in the Daqing Arsenal, so your sight should not be blocked in any way?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Xu Chong felt that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and said calmly: "It is indeed so."

"!!!"

Qian Wang's pupils suddenly shrank into needlepoints.

"……What's wrong?"

Xu Chong felt a little bad.

"I'm testing you with this sentence, lest you continue to hide it."

King Qian let out a breath slowly, "But I didn't expect it to be so..."

"is there a problem?"

Xu Chong asked.

"The arsenal of Daqing is a Dao artifact built by the Taizu with many fragments of the cave."

King Qian stared at Xu Chong closely, "The retained characteristics of the cave have endowed this Taoist instrument with various mysteries, such as mustard seeds, such as the entry of ideas, such as carrying martial arts skills, such as the contribution system... and for example, it has a control hub. .”

"Control hub?"

Xu Chong was a little surprised.

"Generally speaking, Dao artifacts, magical weapons, and treasures, these things have nothing to say about the controller, and they can be used if they are grabbed."

King Qian explained, "Only the blessed land and the cave can become the actual controllers through the control hub and control the rules within it."

"The control hub of the Daqing arsenal is a sun god of Taizu."

"So, in the royal family, there has always been a rumor that there is a remnant memory of the great ancestor in the arsenal, which will guide the children who have not awakened their blood to choose the appropriate exercises."

No wonder that gentleman would call himself Patriarch...

Xu Chong suddenly realized.

But the king didn't finish his words.

"However, only the patriarchs of the past generations know that it is impossible to have the remnants of Taizu in the arsenal."

"Because Taizu Bintian cut and dispersed the Yang God as the hub, and integrated it into the Chuanguo Yuxi, which was controlled by Qing Emperors of all dynasties."

"Even if there is a remnant, it is still in the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, not in the arsenal."

"But that's not the point I want to make."

"The point is, apart from Taizu, only the Qing emperors of the past dynasties can keep a complete vision within the Daqing arsenal without being restricted by contributions."

As he said that, King Qian pointed to Xu Chong, "And you, on this point, are once again an exception."

"..."

Xu Chong's complexion became a little tense, and he asked, "What does this mean?"

"This shows that you have the same soul origin as Taizu."

King Qian showed a complex expression, "I can only think of this explanation... Otherwise, if you are a completely irrelevant individual, why should you avoid the restrictions of the arsenal?"

"The same soul origin?"

Xu Chong was at a loss.

Just now, he actually believed that he was the reincarnation of Taizu... Oh no, it should be said that the original body was the reincarnation of Taizu.

But he didn't take it seriously.

After all, that guy who might be the reincarnation of Taizu had already hanged himself to death.

But now...

The same source of soul can avoid the restrictions of the arsenal?
Xu Chong has already cultivated the Zifu, and he is very clear that the essence that determines a person's 'who' is the soul.

When he traveled back then, it was also the soul that traveled through, occupying the present physical body.

But the question is, does my soul have the same origin as Taizu's?
It has to be said that this new argument made Xu Chong slightly shaken about his own origin.

After a long time, Taizu's reincarnation is not the original body, but himself?

It means that he created Daqing in this world first, then traveled to the earth after death, lived an ordinary life in a world without spiritual energy, and then traveled back to here?
Is it a bit silly?
Xu Chong fell silent.

"To be honest, I'm beginning to regret asking you this question."

King Qian twitched his lips, "Because I don't know what attitude to use to face you now."

The implication is to confirm that Xu Chong is the reincarnation of Taizu.

"..."

Xu Chong hesitated for a while, and tentatively said: "Why don't we talk about each other, I will call you Your Highness, and you call me Patriarch?"

King Qian's face darkened, and he glared at Xu Chong angrily: "Unless you regain the memory of Taizu, it is absolutely impossible."

"Just joking, just joking..."

Xu Chong waved his hands awkwardly.

"All in all, this is the fundamental reason why I arranged you for the second assessment."

King Qian turned to say, "It seems that this arrangement is correct..."

"Ok."

Xu Chong sighed, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said: "The final result of the assessment may be unexpected. This Ninth Princess Jiang Shengjun has crushed all the princes. I think her mood is very calm, and it is not difficult to follow up the assessment. ..."

"It was indeed unexpected."

Qian Wang stroked his long beard and frowned.

"Unfortunately, after all, she is a daughter, even if she becomes one of the five people who entered the palace, it is useless."

Xu Chong pretended to be sorry, and said tentatively.

"Daughter body..."

King Qian thought for a while, and said, "There is no gender restriction for the princes and emperors of Daqing. You should know this after staying in Zhan Shifu for so long."

"I know I know."

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, "But according to the history I know, there has never been a female emperor in Daqing, right?"

not only that.

He remembered that Jun'er cried to him face to face, saying, "Mother concubine blames me for not being a man".

That should prove the point.

"It's true that it hasn't been out."

King Qian replied, and then changed the subject: "However, it's not that there can't be a female emperor in Daqing, but that there has never been a woman from the royal family who can pass the examinations and become one of the five people entering the palace."

"why?"

Xu Chong was puzzled.

"Because of positive energy."

King Qian looked at the roster in his hand, and sighed a little: "Other assessments are nothing more than that. In terms of Zhengyang Jin's cultivation aptitude, this is the first time that an imperial daughter has been awarded the first rank... No, it should be said, this is the first time. There is an imperial daughter who has obtained a qualification assessment above C middle school."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Chong was stunned.

"literal meaning."

Qian Wang said indifferently, "Yin and yang are yin and yang, women are yin and men are yang, and men are far more suitable for practicing Zhengyang energy than women."

"Forehead……"

Xu Chong was stunned.

It turned out that Jun'er's mother and concubine blamed her for not being a man, and it was because of this.

and many more……

Xu Chong suddenly thought of a question, and asked curiously: "Zhengyang Jin is more suitable for men's cultivation, so what will happen to women's cultivation? The physical body gradually becomes masculine?"

"Masculine? That word is... dirty!"

Qian Wang was going to say 'fresh', but just thinking about it for a moment, his eyelids twitched wildly, and his whole body stood up.

"That's what I asked."

Xu Chong twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Zhengyang energy is peaceful in the middle, and both men and women can practice it. There have always been royal women who awakened their blood memory and cultivated Zhengyang energy."

King Qian tried his best to dispel the image in his mind, and continued, "It's just that there are few people who can wash their bodies and then plant Tao... There will be no physical changes."

"That's good."

Xu Chong heaved a sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but regret when he thought that the little and weak Princess Jun'er, who was once carved with jade, would eventually turn into a nine-foot-tall, muscular Barbie King Kong.

Fortunately not.

After a pause, Xu Chong continued: "That is to say, this Jiang Shengjun has a chance to become the crown prince and enter the East Palace?"

"There is indeed a chance."

King Qian nodded, "Even once she enters the East Palace, as long as she doesn't act stupid like Xinghe, she will definitely become the emperor of Daqing in the future."

Xu Chong felt a little absurd in his heart.

Even before, he thought about helping Jiang Shengjun in the assessment, but he didn't really think that Jiang Shengjun could become the crown prince and Emperor Qing.

"As long as Jun'er can do like the prince's brother, or even do better than the prince's brother, the mother and concubine will definitely not be angry with Jun'er again."

This is what Jiang Shengjun said in the arsenal back then.

Now, the mother concubine's attitude, I'm afraid it has reversed, right?
"It's almost time."

King Gan looked at the sky outside the house, closed the roster in his hand, and walked out, "Go and do your work, I will send the roster there for you."

"I don't have anything to do, you can just say it if you want to show your respect to this old ancestor..."

Xu Chong twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself.

Immediately, he frowned again.

In the conversation with King Qian just now, he always felt that he had overlooked an important point.

Didn't catch it at the time, didn't have a clue afterwards.

As if it was just an illusion.

"Taizu, the reincarnation of Taizu, the Empress..."

"That should be the most important thing."

"What did I overlook?"

Xu Chong frowned and paced outside.

three days later.

The emperor's heir exam is over.

Five royal children entered the Tianji Hall to accept the final assessment of Emperor Yongtai.

Jiang Shengjun is one of them.

No, it cannot be said to be one of them.

It should be said that she is the best of the five.

Xu Chong guessed right.

Jiang Shengjun is not just as simple as being able to recite the Taizu's great edict, her comprehensive talents and learning can be said to be no longer as fast as a juren.

Compared with the entire capital, it is naturally not worth mentioning, but compared with her brothers and sisters who have been slacking off for a long time, she is already too strong.

then.

In the early morning of the fourth day, an edict was sent from Yongqing Palace to various places in Daqing.

Jiang Shengjun really won.

And became the prince of Daqing...

……

……

"The body of the Spring and Autumn Tomb is actually covered by a coffin made of forbidden magic stones. The Fang family really did a great job."

Qing Wu looked at the coffin floating quietly on the sea, with a slightly surprised expression, "I'm afraid I can't even open it without the strength of the Iron Bone Realm?"

"Little friend's eyesight."

Fang Shu glanced at Qing Wu more, and said with a smile: "For the success of the inheritance, all sacrifices are worthwhile."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence in his heart.

Any means are also available.

Soon, under Fang Shuyue's control, the two quietly entered the Chunqiu Tomb.

As soon as he entered the Spring and Autumn Tomb, Fang Shuyue arranged for Qing Wu to wait in an unoccupied tomb, then opened the Spring and Autumn Hall, used the Dongtian Hub to forcibly open one of the stone chambers, and brought Li Xiangxue out of it without any explanation.

Until Li Xiangxue met Qing Wu, the whole process did not attract anyone's attention... mainly because it did not attract the attention of 'Emperor Yongtai clone'.

"The Daoist has an order, ordering you to return to Taiping Township immediately and report in detail what you have seen and heard about the Spring and Autumn Tomb."

Qingwu went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Li Xiangxue's heart sank suddenly.

At this time, he looked to be nearly thirty years old.

Yes, he didn't listen to Xu Chong's words and waited in the Spring and Autumn Tomb.

On the contrary, after he separated from Xu Chong, he not only returned to Chunqiu Hall immediately, but also practiced harder than before.

why?
Naturally, it was to be able to have enough strength to help Xu Chong when he was dealing with Emperor Yongtai.

Now, he has broken through to the Ninth Layer of Body Washing.

He was planning to take the risk of trying to grow Tao, but Qing Wu appeared here and asked him to return to Taiping Township immediately?

so suddenly...

Could it be that Ji Qingzhi noticed the change of his inner demon?
Li Xiangxue was thinking frantically, looking for a countermeasure.
