When Chu Fan returned to his bedroom, his third uncle's words were still echoing in his mind.
Deep in his memory, he did remember several brothers with extraordinary abilities. However, for some reason, neither the royal elders nor these brothers showed any desire for the throne of Wei. Instead, they unanimously nominated him to be the emperor of Wei. This left Chu Fan very confused.
According to common sense, if the late emperor did not leave any will, shouldn't all the royal family members with inheritance rights compete fiercely for the throne?
After all, the allure of the throne was so great that it would tempt anyone to take such a risk. However, in Chu Fan's family, this didn't happen. Instead, they all seemed to willingly give up their supreme power and support him as the Emperor of Wei. The reason behind this left Chu Fan baffled.
During his time on Blue Star, Chu Fan enjoyed watching short videos as a form of entertainment. You know, the ladies in the short videos were the spiritual food of Chu Fan, a golden single dog.
Of course, Chu Fan would also watch some other videos, especially a TV series about the history of the Qing Dynasty. He still remembers the MVP settlement scene of the winner of the Nine Dragons' Succession Battle that was cut out by the short video host.
This video vividly demonstrates the wisdom and decisiveness of Emperor Yongzheng through clever lens language. Every detail and every scene shocked Chu Fan.
Therefore, Chu Fan has a deep memory of this history, which can even be said to be an unforgettable memory.
Chu Fan secretly wondered in his heart whether he had any clever way to arouse the dissatisfaction of these brothers and make them rebel against him?
Lying in bed, Chu Fan kept thinking about how to convince his brothers that they were the most suitable candidates to sit on the throne. As long as they believed deep down that they had the qualifications and ability to become emperor, then they might have the idea of rebellion. After all, human ambition is boundless.
Before long, Chu Fan's thoughts drifted to Liu Xueyu, her beautiful image instantly filling his mind. Liu Xueyu had come to Wei this time, but she wasn't living in the palace as she had before. After all, she was a fugitive, accompanied by her parents and brother. Under these circumstances, she couldn't follow her own will and disobey the palace rules as she had before.
Chu Fan became upset as he thought about it. After satisfying his physiological needs with his hands, he suddenly realized that he was now the emperor and the palace maids were all his subjects. He didn't have to satisfy these basic needs himself.
However, this thought only flashed through Chu Fan's mind. Although he was very familiar with the palace maids, and if he needed them to do something, they would definitely not disobey his orders.
But if he really took action, it might cause some unnecessary trouble and even affect the serious and calm image he had established in the palace.
After Chu Fan entered the sage mode later, his brain began to work rapidly.
Chu Fan thought about how he had to deal with mountains of memorials every day, and how exhausted he was every day. Since his uncle said that his brothers had extraordinary abilities, he could use them to help him deal with the heavy workload, while he could enjoy life to the fullest.
In this way, his brothers can not only help him share the work, but also build a platform for their own rebellion, giving them the opportunity to legitimately contact the ministers and build up their own power.
Chu Fan thought about it carefully and felt that relying solely on a few brothers was not safe enough, so he decided to bring his uncles and cousins into this platform as well.
To further foster these people's desire to become emperor, Chu Fan decided to name it the "Royal Government Affairs Office." He planned to use the construction of the Martyrs' Cemetery as an opportunity to have his third uncle and the clan elders recommend eleven members of the royal family to join the office and handle government affairs. This would not only ease his burden but also allow the ambitious individuals within the royal family to fully realize their ambitions.
Chu Fan's mood instantly brightened at the thought. He felt that he was one step closer to returning to Blue Star. However, there were some things Chu Fan didn't understand.
In the early days of his reign, the court was in turmoil. The reason was that the prince supported by the ministers did not inherit the throne. Instead, Chu Fan, a prince whom no ministers had favored, unexpectedly inherited the throne. This made the ministers extremely uneasy. They were hesitant to act rashly, fearing that Chu Fan would find fault with them and deprive them of their power. Fearing that their status and interests would be threatened, they chose to wait and see during Chu Fan's early days on the throne, avoiding any decisions that might displease him during this sensitive period.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that the ministers in the court were unaware of the prophecy circulating among the royal family. After all, no one would believe that the royal family of an empire would allow a useless person with no literary or military skills to inherit the throne because of a prophecy.
Fragments of this prophecy were circulated, but no ministers truly believed it. They believed that succession to the throne should be based on ability and strength, not an illusory prophecy.
When Chu Fan was elected as emperor by the royal family, they were extremely shocked and uneasy, wondering whether this prophecy would really come true.
However, they were cautious and chose to act with caution in the early days of Chu Fan's reign, trying to avoid making any decisions that might cause Chu Fan's dissatisfaction. However, as time went on, they gradually discovered that Chu Fan was not the useless person they had imagined, but an emperor with unique wisdom and ability. Only then did they gradually begin to accept Chu Fan and support his rule.
Another thing Chu Fan didn't know was that if he allowed other princes to participate in government affairs, the ministers in the court would feel more at ease. After all, many of them had children married to these princes. Now that these princes had regained power, they could directly speak to the princes they had a good relationship with and gain the support of the royal family. If His Majesty Chu Fan was not in court, they would no longer have to figure out solutions on their own.
Chu Fan slept peacefully, but he didn't know that the national policy he was about to formulate would make the royal family more united, speed up the handling of court affairs, and make the people who handled the affairs less tired.
