About three years ago, the royal physician of Nanyou Kingdom diagnosed that the young king, who was both civil and military, had taken a sterilizing drug while taking their king's pulse. At that time, there were only three princesses in the palace.
The King of Nanyou was so enraged that he vomited blood and fainted, but before he passed out he only wanted to quietly heal himself and secretly investigate the mastermind behind the scenes. If the news that the King was destined to be childless were to spread, Nanyou would surely be in chaos.
The emperor has no son, but the royal family has sons, so an heir can be found. However, the royal family is not united in their opinion.
In order to push their own children to become the next monarch, the interested royal family members will definitely form cliques and instigate powerful people to participate in the fight for the throne.
By then, he had spent several years to get Nanyou, which was on the verge of extinction, back on track. If Nanyou fell into chaos at this time, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
The idea is quite rational, but the reality is not satisfactory.
During the time when the king was vomiting blood and fainting due to anger, the news that the king had been given a sterilizing drug accidentally leaked out. When the king woke up, everyone who should know knew it.
Then Nanyou became lively.
Today, the Minister of Personnel recommends this royal son as the Crown Prince, tomorrow, the Empress Dowager says she wants to adopt that royal son as her adopted son, and the day after, the scholars of Nanyou jointly recommend a certain benevolent prince as the Crown Prince...
He had finally gained power and suppressed his ministers and brothers, but this infertile drug inflated their ambitions again, and the King of Nanyou was furious.
Thinking that he might never have a son in this life, he locked himself in the palace for several days, and when he came out, he had turned evil.
Haha, anyway, it’s impossible for him to have a blood-related heir, so what does Nanyou’s future have to do with him?
He didn't want to bother taking care of things that were destined to belong to someone else.
Don't you like making trouble? This time, let you make trouble and see what kind of trouble you can make Nanyou suffer.
The evil King of Nanyou announced that whoever can achieve results that will be admired by everyone in Nanyou will be the next King of Nanyou.
Then, when the royal family members were vying to show off, he began to enjoy it.
He did everything from building palaces on a large scale, enjoying wine and women, to meeting beautiful women while on secret visits.
It seemed as if in an instant the wise monarch who was both civil and military and dedicated to unifying the world disappeared, and what remained in the world was just a body without a soul.
However, most of the royal family and ministers in Nanyou were like blind men, turning a blind eye to the king's behavior, and they might even be wondering in their hearts why the king, who was standing in the toilet without taking a shit, hadn't died yet.
Only some loyal ministers who truly cared about Nanyou risked their lives every day to advise the monarch to focus on state affairs.
The monarch was as easy to talk to as ever, and he humbly accepted all the advice from his loyal ministers. After leaving court, he enjoyed himself as he pleased, and most of the memorials were thrown to a group of candidate crown princes selected from the royal family for review.
Because of the king's words that the throne would be passed on to whoever was capable, all the princes who were waiting to be elected were jumping up and down. Several of them even turned their attention to the territory of Daxia, regardless of the major and minor matters in the country.
Building canals, cultivating good seeds, and selecting talents are nothing compared to expanding territory.
Several candidates for the crown prince arrived at the border between the two countries one after another. After a series of tests, the two countries went to war.
The King of Chu was stationed in Daxia at the border between the two countries in the southwest, leading his troops to fight against hundreds of thousands of Nanyou troops. The battle was fierce, and battle reports were sent out one after another, attracting the attention of the whole country.
There is no way. Who can ignore the issue of national dignity?
Although Daxia and Nanyou were one family in the past, that was a hundred years ago. Now the relationship between the two countries is bad, and no one wants to mention the time when they were a loving family.
People were dying every day at the border between the two countries. People from Daxia were constantly heading southwest. Some were trying to serve their country, some were trying to make a living, and some had nowhere else to go...
In order to achieve great things in his career, Yan Miao had to take the imperial examinations to become an official. However, he did not have the talent for studying, but only had a muscular body.
Originally, he had not intended to take this path. There was no military general in the Yan family. Even if someone had poor academic talent, he would not join the army. Many people in the family believed that military generals were vulgar and unsightly.
He had never thought so. Whether studying literature or martial arts, it was all for the purpose of serving the country and making achievements. Why should we divide them into first and second levels?
When he first heard about the war in the southwest, he was still at home studying hard, determined to pass the Tongshi exam next year and escape from the suffocating home.
The two were talking about the war in the southwest, and the young boy opposite, whose delicate features made him look like a fairy on earth but who actually practiced both internal and external skills, said something.
"It's a pity that I'm too young and they're worried about me. Otherwise, I really want to go to the southwest to see how cruel war really is."
He was in a daze after listening to this. He never expected that his little cousin from the next room would actually want to go to the battlefield. How could this be possible?
"Why not? It's just a battlefield. If you want to go, go ahead. My family doesn't expect me to carry on the family line anyway."
Ah, it turned out that he accidentally spoke out the doubts in his heart.
But it seems to make sense!
Since I have my eldest brother at home, I can leave the task of carrying on the family line to him.
He is not good at studying, but he has a lot of strength. He may not go far in the scientific examination field, but maybe he can be invincible on the battlefield?
In this way, Yan Miao became more and more excited the more he thought about it. A few days later, when he heard that the King of Chu had captured Nanyou alive and was about to be selected as the crown prince, his eyes became red. He was afraid that if he went too late, he would not be able to achieve anything. He decided to wait until his elder brother finished the provincial examination before setting off for the southwest.
Currently, only Yan Miao himself and his servant know about this plan.
With a stepmother, there is a stepfather. For many years, the stepfather only liked his two youngest sons. He no longer had the two brothers in his heart and they were not worth his worry.
The only thing I'm worried about is...
