The two of them were sitting in front of the courtyard. The night was very quiet, and they could only hear the sound of conversation.
"Have you heard about the Ten Kingdoms Competition?"
Shen Han nodded. The term "Ten Kingdom Competition" was not unfamiliar to him.
The first time I heard about this competition was from Mr. Zhong Nan.
Later, I also saw it in the books in the library.
"After the New Year, it will be another four-year competition for the Ten Nations.
Tianyi Academy has already reported your name."
Prince Qingyuan paused for a moment and turned his head to look at Shen Han.
“This Ten-Nation Competition may be a bit troublesome.
In recent years, geniuses have emerged in large numbers in various countries, and we, the Wei Dynasty, have fallen further and further behind.
Sometimes, I also reflect.
In the past, the Wei Dynasty was the country with the most powerful practitioners for hundreds of years.
What is the reason that makes our Wei Dynasty start to fall behind?"
Having said this, Prince Qingyuan smiled helplessly.
"It's a bit far.
After the Ten Kingdoms Competition, if you can get some merit, Shen Han, then I can ask for some rewards for you.
The last time you went on a mission to show off your power at night, you already had a lot of merit on your head.
If we can get some more contributions from this Ten-Nation Competition, this matter will be more reasonable."
Hearing this, Shen Han frowned slightly.
"The reward that the prince is referring to is a certain official position?"
"Well, you are very smart and always get things right.
But this title of official title is nothing else, but the title of marquis of your Shen family."
The Shen family was entrusted with Yun'an City, and the Shen family's old prince, Shen Qingshan, was called the Marquis of Yun'an.
According to the etiquette of the Wei Dynasty, titles can be hereditary.
It's just that every time there is a hereditary inheritance, the title goes down one level.
For example, if Shen Qingshan is a marquis, when the title is passed down, he will become an earl.
Therefore, according to the requirements of etiquette and law, inheritance of the title is postponed as long as possible.
The father passed it on to his grandchildren to prevent the family title from declining too quickly.
Of course, if you don't pass it on for several generations, there will be some words in the court.
Various ginseng books are coming soon.
In the Shen family, there is basically no suspense.
Shen Qingshan's title is waiting for Shen Ye to inherit it.
After completing his studies, Shen Ye should be able to take over the Shen family's influence in the army.
"Your Majesty, what you want is to use these merits and contributions of mine as a message from the Holy One.
Will you inherit the title of the Shen family from me?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
Hearing Shen Han point out what he was thinking at once, Prince Qingyuan's face showed more and more admiration.
"I'm afraid the Shen family won't
The senior officials of the Shen family treated me so poorly. They knew I would not turn to them, so how could they be willing to pass on the title to me?
Even if it is His Majesty's will, I am afraid that he will find reasons to prevaricate it just like the previous marriage."
Prince Qingyuan nodded: "You are absolutely right, the Shen family will definitely find reasons.
But it doesn't matter. After they find a reason, we will deal with it accordingly.
Now, in terms of talent, potential, and contribution, you are fully qualified to be the heir to this title.
Even if Lord Shen intends to let Shen Ye take over, he must give a convincing reason."
Shen Han thought about it and didn't get too entangled in it.
Only then can we know how the Shen family reacted.
The Shen family has made so many threats to themselves, even threatening their lives, so they should give some counterattack.
When the time comes, when the Shen family knows that they want to compete for the Shen family title, I don't know what their expressions will be.
At this point in the conversation, basically everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed.
Taking this opportunity, Shen Han also asked a question.
It seems that the court forces rarely try to win over college students.
Shen Han was really curious about this.
Now, after showing his strength, there is still no other force to win over him.
Even Tianyi Academy is the back garden of the royal family.
However, it shouldn’t be like this
It's not that Shen Han expected to be won over by any force, it's just that this was a little different from what he thought.
When Prince Qingyuan heard this, he immediately understood Shen Han's meaning.
Then explain.
Dawei attaches great importance to the training of the younger generation.
In terms of etiquette, the younger generation studying and practicing can return home once every three years.
Many of the rules of the Wei Dynasty were designed to enable the younger generation to concentrate on their practice without being disturbed by the outside world.
Especially before the third year of life, it is the period of fastest improvement in spiritual practice, and it must not be wasted.
Therefore, the Great Wei Sage established rules long ago.
All forces are not allowed to drag young people into battles before they are thirty years old.
Especially the disputes in the court.
There is this prohibition, so it is clear.
Young geniuses from various academies will not be wooed or invited by powerful forces.
Of course, there are also many opportunities for edge shots.
The simplest and most direct way is to marry a woman from your own family to the young genius.
Through this method, who can say that you are trying to win over others?
Of course, there are occasional personal contacts.
After all, if you and I are willing to do this kind of wooing, how can we stop it?
It was almost midnight when we left Prince Qingyuan's courtyard.
Shen Han did learn a lot from today's conversation.
Speaking of which, I don't know Prince Qingyuan very well, nor do I have much understanding.
Prince Qingyuan wants to help the royal family suppress the Shen family.
The same goes for you, your goals are the same and your interests are the same.
Then you can try to believe him.
Just believe it, but not fully believe it.
In everything, protecting your own safety should still be the first priority.
It was very quiet on the way back to my residence.
The insect frogs living in the pond know the coming of winter before humans do.
In two days, I should go to Anyang City.
Rest overnight.
Shen Han went to Dean Tianyi the next day and told him about his plans to return to Anyang City.
The road to Anyang City is also quite far.
Dean Tianyi naturally knew what Shen Han meant.
When the time comes, he will keep an eye on Luo Zuchen in the capital.
Don't let him leave the capital even half a step.
On Shen Han's way back, he would be safe if he arranged for two more guards to go with him.
Pack your luggage properly.
On the tenth day of winter, Shen Han said goodbye to several classmates and left the school first.
Speaking of which, it was just the winter solstice, so it was indeed a bit early to leave the academy.
But Tianyi Academy did not stop it.
With Shen Han's current strength, without any training or experience, leaving Shen Han in the academy would indeed be a waste of time.
Going to Anyang City to gain more experience and experience will be of great benefit to your spiritual practice.
On the way there, Shen Han got directly into the dean's carriage.
There are also guards accompanying you.
In less than twenty hours, they had arrived at Anyang City.
Before Shen Han and the two guards reached the Yun family's mansion, they happened to meet the Yun family's uncle who was out.
"Xiaohan?!"
The moment he saw Shen Han, he couldn't believe it.
"Uncle~"
When Shen Han's voice came, he was sure that he had not admitted his mistake.
"You kid, why didn't you tell your uncle in advance?
Look at the dining room in the mansion at this time, what can you do if you don’t have time to make some meals later?"
With that said, the Yun family's uncle quickly asked the attendant beside him to go back and inform him.
