The Third Uncle was curious about the content of the ancestral precepts that Chu Fan was about to establish. He couldn't imagine what kind of ancestral precepts would make Chu Fan so cautious. After pondering for a moment, the Third Uncle slowly asked:
"Your Majesty, are you worried that a future emperor might abuse his power and arbitrarily change the ancestral precepts? This would negate all your hard work and even cause chaos in the country?"
Chu Fan couldn't directly tell his uncle about the existence of the money printing machine. He could only nod implicitly and express his concerns in a tactful way: "That's right. The Wei Kingdom has made great progress in my hands, but I can't guarantee that future emperors will be like me and always keep the people in their hearts.
If the emperor who succeeds the throne only cares about his own interests and ignores the ancestral teachings, and arbitrarily changes policies and ancestral teachings, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the country and lead to a situation where the people suffer."
The more Third Uncle listened, the more he felt something was amiss. He began to ponder the implications of Chu Fan's words. The two emperors before Chu Fan were both irresponsible. After stabilizing the political situation, they both used various excuses to stop serving as emperors of Wei.
This made Third Uncle worried. If Chu Fan, like the two previous emperors, stabilized the court and then stepped down as emperor, what challenges and turmoil would the future of Wei face? After all, the current court officials and the people of Wei were loyal and trusted Chu Fan. If someone else became the emperor of Wei, it would be difficult for him to have such high prestige and trust.
You have to know that Chu Fan’s grandfather and father, both generations, were only concerned with their own freedom and happiness, and forgot about the big and small affairs of the country.
After inheriting the throne of the State of Wei, Chu Fan's grandfather initially diligently worked to strengthen the country. However, as Wei's power grew, Chu Fan's grandfather came to believe that his responsibilities and mission had been successfully fulfilled, and he shifted his focus to the pursuit of martial arts, eager to achieve breakthroughs in the art.
During that period, Chu Fan's grandfather made a shocking decision. He left only a letter to the elders of the royal family, in which he clearly stated that he would leave the Shengwu Continent and go to the Central Continent to seek a higher level of martial arts realm.
Since he left, all news about him has completely disappeared. No one knows what his situation is like in the Central Continent, and no one knows whether he has really found the martial arts realm he is pursuing.
After the elders nominated Chu Fan's father to succeed him, although he did not make any significant achievements in government affairs, he paid great attention to the training of his sons. He hoped that they would be familiar with the various affairs of the court so that they could smoothly inherit the throne and become the leaders of the country in the future.
After Chu Fan's father was convinced that his children had the qualities to become qualified emperors, he began a journey to tour the border. During this tour, he and Chu Fan's mother deliberately created some loopholes on the northern border, allowing the warriors of the hostile forces to take advantage and launch an attack.
The end result was that Chu Fan's parents mysteriously disappeared during the attack and were never seen again. Nevertheless, it would be a joke if anyone thought Chu Fan's parents had died in the attack.
However, none of the elders in the royal family would easily believe this statement because they did not find the bodies of Chu Fan's parents at the border, but instead found the bodies of many warriors from other countries.
In addition, the guards who accompanied Chu Fan's parents also claimed to have witnessed their death. When the royal elders asked these guards to point out the location of Chu Fan's parents' bodies, these guards were still vague. Therefore, this statement was not recognized by everyone.
The grandmasters of the royal family, who hadn't seen the bodies of Chu Fan's parents in person but had learned of their deaths through the guards, had a general understanding of the situation. Chu Fan's father must have fabricated the illusion of his own death to escape the constraints of the throne and pursue a free life.
Since Chu Fan's father had used the Death Shield to escape the throne, they were no longer so obsessed with whether to continue to bring Chu Fan's father back to serve as emperor, so they let Chu Fan's parents go.
After all, Chu Fan had grown up and was fully capable of inheriting the throne. Furthermore, Chu Fan was the key figure predicted by Master Pu Hong to change the fate of the Wei Kingdom. Therefore, Chu Fan's father's fate was no longer crucial to the overall situation.
As a child, Chu Fan only knew how to play and had no talent for martial arts, so he was completely unaware of the deeper meaning of all this. He always believed that his parents had really died in the attack, but it was not until Chu Fan from Blue Star traveled to this world and began to become a warrior that he began to doubt it.
After all, after Chu Fan's parents passed away, according to common sense, a grand state funeral should have been held. However, in fact, the royal family and ministers directly held a coronation ceremony for Chu Fan. The strangeness in this is self-evident.
However, Chu Fan now raised the question of whether the next emperor might abuse his power after his departure, a question that made Third Uncle very uneasy. After all, Chu Fan and his family had a history of not taking the throne seriously, which made Third Uncle even more worried about the future.
Under these circumstances, Third Uncle couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Is there something in particular that Your Majesty desires to do? Is that why you're so worried that the heir to the throne will arbitrarily change the ancestral teachings, causing the people to suffer once again?"
Although the Third Uncle did not guess Chu Fan's true intention, he was also keenly aware of the fact that Chu Fan wanted to leave Wei State, which made the Third Uncle even more confused and uneasy about Chu Fan's decision.
Chu Fan couldn't help but feel surprised deep down. He couldn't help but admire his uncle's keen insight. From their conversation, he had already realized that Chu Fan was preparing for what might happen after he left, making some backup plans.
Chu Fan naturally wouldn't reveal the secrets about the system and Blue Star at this time. He simply said to his Third Uncle, "Third Uncle, you have a very sharp vision. I do have some plans that I intend to implement after my wedding. Therefore, I especially hope that Third Uncle can make me a promise. As an elder of the royal family, you must adhere to the ancestral precepts and absolutely cannot allow the new emperor to abuse his power and arbitrarily change the ancestral precepts I established."
