After Third Uncle finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Everyone fell into deep thought. They all knew that Chu Fan had six brothers besides several sisters, and these brothers were more outstanding than Chu Fan in every aspect.

However, due to an uncertain prophecy, the throne of Wei finally fell to Chu Fan, the seemingly most insignificant prince. In order to avoid suspicion, Chu Fan's brothers chose to stay in their own mansions and no longer have any contact with the ministers in the court.

Despite this, these princes inevitably felt dissatisfied and resentful, but under the severe suppression of the clan elders, they could only harbor dissatisfaction but dared not express it publicly.

Now Chu Fan took the initiative to provide an opportunity, a platform for them to continue to demonstrate their talents and abilities. This made the elders have to look at Chu Fan with new eyes.

In the hearts of the elders, they are full of expectations and joy for the future of their descendants.

Because of the constraints of the prophecy, they had to put pressure on these young people and restrict their free development. But now Chu Fan's decision gave them hope. He directly allowed these young people to enter the court and participate in government affairs, giving them the opportunity to fully demonstrate their talents and abilities.

A clan elder suggested with satisfaction, "Since there are no other problems or obstacles at the moment, why not sit down and carefully discuss which outstanding young people are suitable for positions in the Royal Government Affairs Office? We need to select those who are both capable and responsible, allowing them to shine in the court and bring honor to the family."

At this moment, the previously harmonious crowd suddenly became tense. Everyone was eager to nominate their descendants for the position. They were all patriarchs in their families, with numerous descendants, yet there were only eleven seats in the Imperial Administration Office. To compete for these limited positions, the Chu family's ancestors engaged in a heated debate in the ancestral hall, even arguing in front of their ancestors' tablets, their faces red and ears raging. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Chu Yuanwu, the ancestor of the Chu family, stood up and roared in a loud voice, "Everyone, be quiet! Look at yourselves now! Even that little guy Chu Fan knew to give up some power for the sake of family ties, and yet you, who have lived to such an old age, are still so ignorant?"

After hearing the ancestor's reprimand, everyone immediately quieted down.

The Chu family's ancestor continued, "Chu Fan's eldest brother must occupy a seat in the Royal Government Affairs Office. If Chu Fan is willing to give up his power, but his brothers don't have a seat at all, then you will be letting down Chu Fan's good intentions."

After hearing what our ancestors said, everyone thought it made a lot of sense.

Seeing that everyone here agreed with his words, the Chu family's ancestor continued, "Next, we need to select other people. We must choose those who are both civil and military, and talented. So I think my little grandson is very suitable. Of the eleven seats, my little grandson will take one. For the remaining nine seats, you can choose suitable people according to your situation."

Initially, the clan elders had hoped that the ancestor would intervene to uphold justice and resolve the dispute. However, they never imagined that the ancestor was simply seeking personal gain for his grandson. The ancestor's grandson was now over sixty, well past retirement age. Was he truly interested in participating in the court disputes?

Although the elders were filled with doubts and dissatisfaction, they dared not express these thoughts. In their hearts, respect for elders was extremely important, especially for an elder of the martial arts master's level. If they dared to contradict the ancestor's opinions, they would likely be severely reprimanded and even face some unpleasant consequences.

Meanwhile, the other elders in the ancestral hall were also eyeing the remaining nine spots, unwilling to give up easily. Since the ancestor had so disregarded his dignity and insisted on placing his young grandson in the Royal Government Affairs Office, they were not going to be polite.

Everyone began to think about how to secure these precious places for their juniors. After all, no one wanted to see their juniors looking at them with disappointment.

Since the problem could not be resolved through peaceful dialogue and communication, it seemed that only one option remained, which was to use force to force the other party to surrender. Only under the deterrence of force would the other party willingly give up their seats in the Royal Government Affairs Office.

"Let's go out and practice?" an elderly elder suddenly suggested.

As soon as these words were spoken, they resonated with all the elders present. They all stood up, left the ancient ancestral hall, and walked out onto the open ground. The bright moonlight illuminated the resolute faces of all the elders.

Then, someone from the Sixth Elder clan took the initiative to challenge, and in an instant, all the elders joined the melee. Though they were old, they were all martial arts masters, their movements swift and their attacks powerful. The accumulation of years had only made their martial arts more profound.

Ancestor Chu Yuanwu also followed them into the yard. Chu Yuanwu brought a chair and sat aside to watch this unique battle.

Although these elders were all members of the same family and had deep emotional ties with each other, they still tried their best.

Of course, even if they really try their best, when they want to hurt each other's vital points, everyone will stop at a certain point and will not really hurt each other.

In this way, the remaining nine seats were selected through duels. The elders who did not win the competition were thinking in their hearts how to face their descendants in the future. After all, they lost the opportunity for them to display their talents.

Chu Fan was immersed in a deep sleep in the bedroom. He never dreamed that he would come up with the Royal Government Affairs Office that he had carefully planned and established.

The Royal Government Affairs Office, which was intended to unite the royal family members, including his brothers and uncles, to deal with him together, had already broken out into a fierce internal conflict before the personnel were fully confirmed and in place.

What is even more unexpected is that the initiators of this fight were not the young royal family members, but those ancestors with high seniority and rich experience, who actually started the fight first.

If Chu Fan knew about this situation, he would be speechless. Of course, if he knew that the elders and court officials trusted and were loyal to him so much, he might be speechless for the rest of his life.
