Chapter 785: People make mistakes and horses make mistakes
The rain in Shangjing lasted for two more days.
It wasn't until the third day that the weather finally cleared up.
The streets and alleys, farewell to the silence of rainy days, are once again as lively as cicada summer should be.
【Shanghai】Many people are busy in the Chen family's mansion.
Today is the day when the results of the second round of assessment for the [Chen Royal Family] are announced.
The thirteen candidates for the throne all returned here to wait for the announcement of the rankings.
When Chen Qi and Zhuque arrived, the hall was already overcrowded.
Under the guidance of Chen Shisan, Chen Qi and Zhuque randomly found a seat and sat down.
At this time, many senior officials of the Chen royal family could be seen in groups, chatting and chatting around other candidates for the throne.
Seeing this, Zhuque asked curiously, "Thirteenth Taifu, I see that many people from your Chen family are surrounding other candidates. What are they doing?"
Chen Shisan glanced at the crowd and replied unhappily, "What else can I do? Of course it's flattering."
"Flattery?"
Suzaku was stunned, "What does this mean?"
Chen Shisan picked up the water glass on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, "You should know that the heir to the throne of our Chen family this time will only be chosen among these thirteen candidates for the throne."
"Now that the election for the throne is not over yet, all thirteen candidates for the throne may become the next head of the Chen family."
"Think about it, if you take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the next heir to the throne, what benefits will it bring?"
Suzaku thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, "Are they investing in advance?"
Chen Shisan smiled for a moment, "You can say that."
"Our Chen family is one of the three major royal families. Our status and power are second to none in the entire country."
"If you can ascend the throne of the Chen royal family, you will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!"
"Who wouldn't want to curry favor with such a powerful person?"
As Chen Shisan said.
The heir to the throne represents the highest power of the Chen family. If you can establish a good relationship with the next heir to the throne in advance, then when he takes over, your status in the Chen family will also improve in the future.
This is like the competition for the palace throne in ancient times. Ministers from all parties will selectively support their favorite candidates for the throne.
When he succeeds in taking the throne, he will become a great hero and be reused.
Therefore, many members of the Chen family began to choose to support the candidate for the throne they were most optimistic about.
Suzaku blinked, "But you also said that the election for the throne is not over yet, and all thirteen candidates for the throne are likely to inherit the throne. So how can they be sure that the person they support will definitely win?"
Chen Shisan took a sip of the tea in the cup and responded calmly, "Then it all depends on everyone's luck. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to skyrocket.
If they are unlucky, they may even offend the next heir to the throne, so they can only blame themselves for their bad luck."
"However, now that the second round of assessment for the throne campaign has been carried out, everyone can more or less tell which one is better and which one is worse."
Suzaku pursed his lips, "But the Dragon Lord doesn't seem to have a single supporter now. Does everyone think that the Dragon Lord is destined to be eliminated?"
According to Chen Shisan, the greater the advantage of a candidate for the throne, the more supporters he will have around him.
However, even though Chen Qi has been here for so long, no one from the Chen family has come to say hello.
This also means that everyone in the Chen royal family believes that Chen Qi cannot win this competition.
Chen Shisan shook his head, "There is nothing we can do about it. Chen Qi's talent test score in the first round of assessment was at the bottom and he has no supporters. This is understandable."
Suzaku was a little indignant, "That's because they are blind. Talent tests are nothing. Dragon Lord's martial arts talent will definitely crush anyone present!"
The Chen royal family originally used the [Psychic Stone] to gain martial arts talent, but when Chen Qi tested it, the [Psychic Stone] accidentally shattered into pieces.
In the end, Chen Qi's martial arts talent was judged to be non-existent.
This is obviously unfair. If Chen Qi has no martial arts talent, how did he become the first Dragon God on the God of War list?
You know, the list of gods of war is based on military force.
Today, Chen Qi is the number one person at the pinnacle of martial arts in the world today!
Therefore, according to Suzaku's judgment, Chen Qi's martial arts talent must be so incredible that even the [Psychic Stone] cannot be specifically evaluated.
Chen Qi didn't care about this and just smiled.
Recalling the first time he came into contact with martial arts, the old man said that his talent was astonishing and that he was a rare martial arts wizard in thousands of years.
But every time I take a talent test, the results are unsatisfactory.
Whether the old man was right or whether his martial arts talent was pitifully poor, Chen Qi did not investigate too much.
But while Chen Qi was thinking, he heard a slightly harsh voice.
"Hey, who do I think this is? Isn't this Chen Qi, who was at the bottom of the first round of assessment?"
Looking for the reputation, I saw three young men in luxurious clothes walking over, arm in arm.
These three people are none other than Chen Pei'en, the eldest prince of the Chen family, Chen Zhiman, the third prince, and Chen Wenbin, the sixth prince.
Seeing the appearance of the three princes, Chen Shisan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he thought something serious was going on.
When Chen Qi first came to Chen's house, he had some unpleasantness with the three of them, and now they suddenly came to the door. Their purpose is self-evident.
But they saw Chen Pei'en and three others coming to stand in front of Chen Qi.
The third prince, Chen Zhiman, looked proud and looked down at Chen Qi in a condescending manner.
"Chen Qi, why do you still have the nerve to appear here?
Why, a piece of trash with the lowest martial arts talent, is he still trying to compete for the throne of my Chen family?"
The Sixth Prince Chen Wenbin agreed, "That's right, if I were you, I would just find a stone and hit him to death, so as not to be embarrassed!"
Chen Shisan stood up to greet him, "Three princes, what are you..."
The eldest prince Chen Pei'en waved his hand, "You have nothing to do here. We just came to have a few words with Chen Qi."
Chen Shisan's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly slandered in his heart.
Say a few words?
They have made it clear that they are here to cause trouble.
As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom kills people, but due to the status of the three of them, Chen Shisan could only retreat reluctantly.
The scene that happened here immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.
"Hey, look, why are the three princes running over there?"
When everyone noticed Chen Qi not far away, they were suddenly stunned.
"Isn't that person the candidate with the lowest talent in the first round?
What does it seem to be called, Chen Qi?"
"That's him! This guy actually has the nerve to come, his martial arts talent rating is none, and he's not afraid of embarrassment?"
"Haha, it is said that Chen Shisan has a pair of discerning eyes. I thought he could find such an excellent candidate for the throne this time, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."
"People make mistakes and horses make mistakes. He can't cover everything."
