"Who are you?" Jiang Chen looked at the man in front of him and frowned.

"My master wants to see you." the man said.

"Who is your master?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Concubine Wei." the man replied.

"Concubine Wei? Lead the way." Jiang Chen was a little surprised. According to the time of the third film and television fusion world, Concubine Wei had only seen him alone for a month, and now she wanted to see him again. Could it be that she missed him?

After a while, Jiang Chen saw Concubine Wei.

"I have met the imperial concubine." Jiang Chen bowed to the imperial concubine Wei.

Although I had seen her at the school grounds a few days ago, seeing Concubine Wei up close now gave me a different feeling.

At this moment, Jiang Chen thought of Concubine Yi from the Qing Dynasty in the second film and television fusion world.

Concubine Wei is younger than Concubine Yi, but her aura is no worse than Concubine Yi.

"Master Jiang, there is no need to be polite." Concubine Wei raised her hand to support her.

"Empress, I wonder what you want from me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"At this time, Mr. Jiang won first place in the Qiu Shou. I would like to congratulate Mr. Jiang first." Concubine Wei said.

"It's just hunting, and I'm just lucky." Jiang Chen said.

"Good luck? I don't think so. What's more, luck is also a manifestation of strength." Wei Guifei said.

Jiang Chen smiled and said nothing.

"Master Jiang, I heard that you told His Majesty today about secretly establishing a heir apparent?" Concubine Wei said suddenly.

"Yes." Jiang Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the first person to come to him about secretly setting up a heir apparent was Concubine Wei.

"Master Jiang, why do you say that?" Concubine Wei asked.

"I am doing it for Your Majesty." Jiang Chen replied.

"Really?" Concubine Wei looked at Jiang Chen.

"Of course it's true." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Does the empress think I have other purposes?"

"What do you think?"

"Empress, what purpose can I have? I am doing this for Your Majesty. After all, starting from the Zhou Dynasty, the inheritance of the throne (throne), and even the intergenerational inheritance among the people, has been the eldest son inheritance system..." Jiang Chen explained

.

Throughout the ages, it has always been the case that direct descendants are established for the sake of eldership rather than virtue, and sons are established for the sake of honor rather than eldership.

The so-called "legitimate son" refers to the son born to the principal wife (queen, queen), and the concubine is the son born to the concubine (concubine, maid) other than the principal wife. In the order of inheritance, the legitimate concubine is looked at first, and then the eldest and youngest.

The oldest person is the first heir; if there are no legitimate children, it is the turn of the concubines, and the order of inheritance of the concubines is based on the status of their biological mothers.

This order is actually "the son is more valuable than the mother". The inheritance order of the son depends on the status of the mother, while the eldership between brothers only works under the same mother or different mothers of the same rank.

"Master Jiang, are you really doing this for His Majesty?" Concubine Wei asked.

"Of course, I am doing it just for Your Majesty." Jiang Chen smiled. However, this time he proposed to establish a secret heir, which seemed to be an attempt to break the traditional heir system, but it was actually the hidden murderous intention.

There are two principles for the succession of the throne by the eldest son. One is that the eldest son is given priority, and the other is that the heir apparent is publicly established. This system excludes people other than the prince from the scope of inheritance, and basically eliminates competition from other blood relations. However,

, the intensity of competition between princes has not diminished. Although few people challenge the principle of eldest son inheritance, the eldest son is still relative after all. By changing the number of people in line, it is possible to come from behind and "jump in the queue".

The most effective way is to politically defeat or even physically eliminate the top candidates.

Faced with the huge temptation of the highest power, the ministers and cronies in the court, the concubines, eunuchs, and relatives in the harem each have their own hills and the princes they support. Naturally, various interest groups started to compete and even fight each other, step by step.

Shocking.

Now Tuoba Jun, Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Jun and others are all ready to seize the throne. If Tuoba Tao suddenly secretly establishes the throne, it will be a fatal blow to them. Therefore, once Tuoba Tao

Tuoba Yu will definitely take action against Tuoba Tao if he announces his secret to establish the throne.

"Then who do you think your Majesty will name as your successor?" Concubine Wei asked.

"It's either Tuoba Jun or Tuoba Yu." Jiang Chen replied.

"The Emperor's grandson and King Nan'an? Master Jiang, are you choosing these two to support?" Concubine Wei's beautiful eyes flashed.

"What I'm saying is that His Majesty likes them." Jiang Chen looked at Concubine Wei and said, "As for me, I like Prince Yu (Yuan Song)."

"Really?" Concubine Wei raised her eyebrows.

"Of course, because you are the Queen behind King Yu. If you support the Queen, King Yu is very likely..." Jiang Chen suddenly thought that Concubine Wei was a member of the Wei Clan, and the Wei Clan was related to the Sun Moon God Sect.

Relatedly, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai, is a member of Dugu Qiubai, and Dugu Qiubei is a member of the Dugu Clan.

Therefore, if the Wei Clan, the Dugu Clan, and the Sun and Moon Sect all support King Yu Yuan Song, wouldn’t it mean that Yuan Song has greater hope of seizing the throne?

It seems that the struggle to seize the direct descendants in the Northern Wei Dynasty was more complicated than imagined.

"Really?" Concubine Wei looked at Jiang Chen with a half-smile.

"Empress, you are so beautiful..." Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Master Jiang, you are rude." Concubine Wei said coldly.

"..."

Jiang Chen came back to his senses and said, "Madam, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Concubine Wei is indeed known as the most beautiful woman in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

This frown and smile can be described as the colorless pink and white of the Sixth Palace.

As the heir to Wei Wu's ambition, Jiang Chen could not accept this situation the most.

"Master Jiang, I heard that His Majesty sent you as envoy to Ye Qin?" Concubine Wei said.

"Your Majesty, you are well-informed." Jiang Chen glanced at Concubine Wei, a little curious from whom he got the information about Concubine Wei.

"Ye Qin is like a dragon in a tiger's den to Master Jiang." Concubine Wei looked at Jiang Chen and said, "However, I can help Master Jiang."

"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I want Mr. Jiang to ensure the safety of our mother and son when there is unrest in the Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty," said Concubine Wei.

"Okay." Jiang Chen did not refuse.

"This is the token of our Wei Clan." Concubine Wei took out a token and handed it to Jiang Chen and said, "Although we are not strong in the Wei Clan and Ye Qin, we can help you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Chen stepped forward to take the token. However, when taking the token, Jiang Chen's finger touched Concubine Wei's palm.

Concubine Wei's beautiful eyes turned cold.

"Mother, I'll take my leave first." Jiang Chen chuckled, turned around and left.

"Jiang Chen..."

Concubine Wei's face looked gloomy and uncertain.

…

Guangning City, Jiang Mansion.

"My husband is back." Luo Shiniang was chatting with Nie Yunzhu and stood up when she saw Jiang Chen's arrival.

"Well, I just came from the Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Is there nothing going on in Guangning City these days?"

"No, everything is calm." Luo Shiniang replied.

"That's good."

Jiang Chen came and sat down between the two women and said, "It's been almost half a month since I left. How is your cultivation going? Have you encountered any problems?"

"That's not true. However, after breaking through to the first-class warrior, the progress was too slow." Luo Shiniang said.

"Um."

After Jiang Chen, Luo Shiniang and Nie Yunzhu talked about cultivation, they talked about White Camel Villa.

"Now Long Aoyi and the others have gone to Baituo Villa, but there is nothing wrong with Baituo Villa." Luo Shiniang replied.

"That's good." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Husband, how is the autumn hunting?" Nie Yunzhu asked.

"Qiu Shou, it's hard to describe it in one word." Although Jiang Chen discovered a lot of secrets during Qiu Shou, and Feng Xin'er also used Qiu Shou to do a lot of things in the Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in general, it did not achieve the expected purpose.

"It's hard to explain in one word? What do you mean?" Nie Yunzhu asked.

"That's it..." Jiang Chen told the story about Qiu Shou.

"Husband, when Tuoba Tao asked you to cause trouble for Ye Qin, he didn't mean to kill someone with a borrowed knife, right?" Qiu Yan, who had just walked in, asked after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

"At the beginning, I also thought it might be a borrowed knife to kill someone, but now I don't think so." Jiang Chen shook his head and said: "Guangning County is on the border of Ye Qin. With the previous battle, the Jiang family's army is enough to attack Ye Qin.

Shock, in this case, even if Ye Qin wants to deal with me, it is impossible not to be wary of Jiang Jiajun."

"Then what is Tuoba Tao's purpose?" Luo Shiniang said.

"I know Tuoba Tao's purpose." Xiao Hunian walked in.
