In an exquisite palace, a group of veteran ministers wearing court uniforms of various colors roared excitedly at the emperor who was sitting in his chair, as if they were drunk.
"Your Majesty, the country cannot be tampered with!"
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely forbidden to pass on the title of Crown Prince to the eldest princess!"
"Your Majesty, there has never been a tradition in the world for a woman to be the emperor. If the people know about it, the country will be ruined. The surrounding princes have already been ambitious and are eyeing me for my power. If the eldest princess is allowed to take the throne now, I am afraid they will rise up and fear me.
Dawu will definitely lead to chaos! If the Buddhists in the Western Region, the barbarians in the Southern Region, etc. take the opportunity to invade our Central Plains again, our Dawu will be in danger, and the human race will be in danger! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Listening to the angry roars and miserable cries above the hall, it took Ning Chen about ten minutes to understand his current situation.
In the first five minutes, Ning Chen was sure that he had traveled through time, and then he got some information about the original owner.
He traveled through time to a Hanlin who had the same name and surname as him.
The original owner was a top scholar, or the kind of champion who won three prizes in a row.
At the age of twenty-two, he was promoted to Hanlin editor, and his future was promising.
In the last five minutes, Ning Chen repositioned himself. He wanted to be a sycophant, and he wanted to make his future bleak.
There is no other reason. Ning Chen's golden finger at this moment reminds him that Ning Chen's life is short.
According to the tips given by Golden Finger, Ning Chen still has three months to live.
You're about to die as soon as you arrive. Is there any more hellish start than this?
Fortunately, Golden Finger gave Ning Chen a chance to make amends.
【Reputation Points】
According to the tips from Goldfinger, Ning Chen will gain reputation as long as he does things.
In short, this is a system that needs to work.
Reputation points are divided into two types: Zhong and Ren.
The two kinds of reputation points will be combined at regular intervals and then uniformly converted.
The total points after conversion are converted according to a certain ratio, and the final points obtained can be exchanged for many items and attributes including longevity.
But the most interesting thing is the settlement system. If the reputation point obtained is [Loyalty], it will be settled at a ratio of 100:1.
But if what you get is [佞], it will be settled at 1:100.
"It's true that good people don't pay for themselves with their own lives, but the harm will last for thousands of years."
"So I just need to work hard to be a treacherous minister. Since ancient times, I have heard that it is difficult to be a loyal minister, but I have never heard that it is difficult to be a sycophantic minister."
"The result of being a sycophant is not good. I just want to live now."
【Event Selection】
[1. You stand up with the ministers and denounce the emperor as fatuous, and gain 10 points of [Loyalty]. Subsequently, all evaluations related to the event will be automatically converted into corresponding reputation points.]
[Two, you stand up with the emperor and support the empress as the crown prince, and get 100 [佞] points. Subsequently, all evaluations related to the event will be automatically converted into corresponding reputation points]
[Note 1: All reputation points obtained from the event, whether [loyalty] or [佞], are temporary and will be settled uniformly upon expiration. They will be uniformly converted according to the true influence of the event at the time of settlement]
[Note 2: After the settlement cycle, the influence of all events in the cycle will no longer be accumulated]
【Note 3...】
After reading Notes 1 and 2, Ning Chenhu suddenly wanted to give himself a slap in the face. Do you still need to read the precautions at this time? Your life is about to die, and you still need to read the precautions? As for the choice, there is no need to choose this one, right?
.
It must be two. Firstly, you will get more reputation points. Secondly, if you double it, it will be doubled as a hundred times. At this time, only a fool will choose one.
And it can be seen from this choice that it is not easy to be a loyal minister.
After making a decision in his heart, Ning Chen stepped forward and stood out from the crowd of ministers.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
Ning Chen's voice was loud and clear, coupled with his youthful energy, it actually suppressed the voices above the court.
Seeing the number one scholar who had always shown integrity stand up, the ministers in the court all looked at Ning Chen with hope and encouragement, hoping that the number one scholar could say something that would enlighten them.
Sitting on the throne, the emperor looked unhappy. Although he was extremely unhappy inside, he still played the song correctly.
Looking at the old ministers who were encouraging him and looking upright, Ning Chen sneered in his heart: "Haha, I'm going to disappoint you. I will be a sycophant from today on."
"Your Majesty, I think it is a great kindness that Your Majesty wants to appoint the eldest princess as your heir apparent!"
As soon as Ning Chen opened his mouth, everyone in the court and the public was silent for a few seconds.
A few seconds later, all the Gonggun princes in the court turned on their verbal cannon mode and began to bombard Ning Chen.
Ning Chen didn't care at all about this.
What to do if you are a sycophant? It's very simple. What you, the Qingliu, who value your reputation before and after you, are more important than your life, are against what I agree with.
The father-in-law beside His Majesty received a look from His Majesty and whipped him down, and the whole court suddenly became quiet.
His Majesty, who was originally lifeless, finally became interested after hearing Ning Chen's words: "Ning Chen, please continue talking."
Ning Chen cleared his throat and continued: "Your Majesty, I think this is a great kindness."
His Majesty immediately became interested and asked Ning Chen, "Tell me, what are the benefits?"
"First, the eldest princess Wen Tao is proficient in martial arts."
Haha, although I don't know you, but do I care.
"Secondly, Your Majesty has appointed the eldest princess as your crown prince. It just shows that Your Majesty has the heart of the ancient sages and emperors to pass on the virtuous but not to the elders. This is actually a blessing for the country and all the people."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, His Majesty felt relieved: "Keep talking."
"Thirdly, your Majesty is only talking about establishing the crown prince, and has not officially passed on the throne. If you, the princes, aspire to the throne, you should work hard to catch up and make achievements to show your majesty and the world. In this way, between princes, you chase me.
Isn’t it a blessing for the world and all people to catch up?”
"Is there more?" The emperor was obviously satisfied with what he heard and was still chasing Ning Chen, asking Ning Chen to continue talking.
Ning Chen was also convinced. This emperor was really a fatuous person, but a fatuous king and a sycophantic minister were a perfect match.
However, this also gave Ning Chen an opportunity, because the instructions for Goldfinger clearly stated that Ning Chen should be a reasonable and legal sycophant.
What is reasonable and legal means that everything you have to do must be able to explain clear reasons.
Even if you want to rob people's girls by force, you have to explain a reason why you rob people's girls. Otherwise, if it cannot be recorded as a reputation, it will be in vain.
Moreover, Ning Chen had his own plan in mind. He would be a sycophant for a period of time to make up for his longevity, and then he could clear himself up.
"Fourth, I believe that if there is yang in this world, there must be yin, and if there is only yang, it will not survive. This already shows that women can hold up half the sky!"
"So I think that the princes who are now opposing the eldest princess are actually being disloyal, unfilial and unkind.
All the gentlemen, all the gentlemen, looked down and saw that none of the clothes, shoes and hats on the gentlemen were made by Nv Hong.
Think about it again, you gentlemen, this prince was not raised by his mother or wet nurse. If there was no mother of your princes, and he would go to hell behind closed doors, how could you still be scolding Fang Qiu here?
To prevent His Majesty from following the ancient customs is to be disloyal, to belittle the female status of the eldest princess, which is unfilial, and to hinder the progress of the prince, which is unkind."
"Okay, okay, well said. Among all the gentlemen, only Ning Chen understands my good intentions. What Ning Chen said is absolutely true. You want to use your words of disloyalty, filial piety, and benevolence to prevent me from imitating the ancient customs. Your intentions are terrible.
Execute! His heart can be punished!"
This time the emperor was thorough and found a breakthrough, and he revolted against the Dukes of Gongun in one breath.
The princes in the court were actually a little confused by Ning Chen's impassioned speech.
The key is that they don't know how to refute Ning Chen's fallacy.
Moreover, when Ning Chen was branded as unfaithful, unfilial, and unkind, they really felt that they couldn't hold their heads high.
"Since the princes have no objections, the matter of establishing the crown prince has been decided. I have decided to appoint the eldest princess Wu Zhao as the crown prince!"
"What, Wu Zhao, why does this name sound so inappropriate?" Ning Chen also muttered in his heart.
"Ning Chen stepped forward to accept the title." After the emperor felt relaxed, he naturally could not forget Ning Chen, a meritorious minister.
Ning Chen took a step forward and bowed to listen.
"Ning Chen is from Jinzhong Shushe, and concurrently serves as a scholar in the Department of Rites. He is in charge of the crown prince ceremony."
Upon hearing this reward, Ning Chen immediately bowed and thanked him: "My lord, thank you for your kindness."
Ning Chen was very satisfied with this reward.
Zhongshusheren were actually people who helped the emperor and drafted imperial edicts on his behalf.
Ning Chen didn't care much about this, but it was unusual for a scholar from the Department of Rites to be in charge of the crown prince ceremony.
There are only a few biggest things in the country. Either the emperor succeeds to the throne or dies, or he establishes a heir apparent.
And if you take charge of this matter yourself, there will be many ways to do it.
How to be a sycophant? If a sycophant does not gain some benefits, can he be considered a sycophant?
At the end of the court meeting, Ning Chen also completed the first step of evolving into a sycophant.
After the emperor leaves, the officials can leave.
But at this moment, Ning Chen became the focus of the firepower of hundreds of officials.
Ning Chen was just waiting for them to besiege him. Without them, how would he get [Niege] points?
