Chapter 611 The Emperor is Furious
The evidence was presented to the emperor, who was furious. He did not expect that his sons would do so many illegal things for the throne. After some investigation and verification, the emperor severely punished several other princes, and also realized that he had wrongly blamed Chu Tian. In the end, the emperor ordered Chu Tian to be released from prison and comforted him. After this ordeal, Chu Tian became more mature and stable. He knew the cruelty of the struggle for the throne, but he did not back down, but instead strengthened his determination to fight for the throne. In the days that followed, he continued to work hard, and with his wisdom, courage and kindness, he won more and more support. In the end, in a fierce competition for the throne, Chu Tian stood out, ascended the throne, and started his legendary rule. Chu Tian, who ascended the throne, implemented a series of reform measures. He reduced taxes on the people, punished corrupt officials, strengthened military construction, and gradually led the country to prosperity. And his thrilling stories in the court struggle also spread among the people, becoming a topic of conversation after dinner, inspiring generations of people.
The Path of Power and Scheme: The Legend of Chu Tian's Prince's Ascension to the Throne As soon as Chu Tian opened his eyes, he saw a carved bed and golden curtains, and the tip of his nose was filled with long-lasting incense, but his head felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and severe pain came over him. Strange and complicated memories were like a surging tide, drowning him. "I... became a prince?" Chu Tian muttered to himself with a face full of shock. He was originally a history fan in modern society, and was full of interest in the stories of the ancient palace, but he did not expect that he would travel through time and space and become a prince in this deep palace. After digesting these memories, he knew that he was in a dynasty with fierce competition for the throne, and every prince was eyeing the supreme throne. As the third prince, Chu Tian's mother was just an unpopular concubine. In this palace, he did not have much advantage. But a fire of unwillingness to be ordinary ignited in his heart. Since he came to this world, why not strive for the highest power and rewrite the pattern of this palace? Chu Tian, who had just entered the court and made his mark, knew that connections were crucial in this treacherous court. He began to pay attention to the situation in the court and found that most of the old officials in the court tended to support the eldest prince Chu Feng, who had a deep foundation, while the young officials were more eager for new changes. So Chu Tian took the initiative to approach those young officials. He often exchanged ideas on state governance with them in the court and shared his advanced ideas brought from the modern times. He proposed policies to reduce taxes and encourage agriculture and sericulture, which were recognized by many officials who cared about people's livelihood. Once, the court discussed matters related to disaster relief in years of disaster. The eldest prince Chu Feng advocated allocating funds directly from the national treasury and distributing them to the affected people in a simple and crude manner. Chu Tian stood up and put forward a different view: "Although direct funding can solve the urgent problem, it is not a long-term solution. It is better to use work instead of relief and let the people participate in projects such as water conservancy restoration and road construction. It can not only solve the current problem of food and clothing, but also lay the foundation for future development." His suggestion not only demonstrated his foresight, but also made many ministers shine. From then on, Chu Tian emerged in the court and began to have his own supporters. Cleverly set up chess games to divide opponents As Chu Tian's reputation in the court gradually increased, other princes felt threatened. The second prince Chu Lei and the fourth prince Chu Ze joined forces to try to suppress Chu Tian. They opposed Chu Tian everywhere in the court and spread rumors that Chu Tian intended to form a party for personal gain and disrupt the court. Chu Tian was not panicked. He knew that although the two princes were united, they were not a solid block. The second prince Chu Lei held military power and had a generous personality, but lacked strategy; the fourth prince Chu Ze was good at power, but had no actual military power. Chu Tian decided to use the conflict between them to divide them. He secretly sent people to spread rumors in the army, saying that the fourth prince Chu Ze intended to weaken the military power of the second prince Chu Lei and control the army in his own hands. After hearing this, Chu Lei became suspicious of Chu Ze. At the same time, Chu Tian deliberately got close to the fourth prince Chu Ze in the court, making Chu Lei mistakenly believe that they had reached some kind of agreement. Chu Lei was worried that he would be isolated, so he began to be on guard against Chu Ze, and the relationship between the two gradually broke down. During a court meeting, Chu Lei and Chu Ze quarreled on the spot because of disagreements on the issue of border military defense. Chu Tian fanned the flames on the side, which completely intensified the conflict between the two. From then on, their alliance collapsed and could no longer pose an effective threat to Chu Tian. Hit the key point and overthrow the eldest prince. The eldest prince Chu Feng has always been the biggest obstacle for Chu Tian to compete for the position of crown prince. Chu Feng is old, has a deep foundation in the court, and is deeply supported by many old ministers. After a long period of observation and investigation, Chu Tian found that although Chu Feng was calm and steady on the surface, he was corrupt and accepted bribes in private. He secretly collected evidence and found the account books showing Chu Feng colluding with some wealthy businessmen, accepting bribes and seeking personal gain for them. At an important court meeting, Chu Tian felt that the time was right, so he presented the evidence to the emperor. After seeing the account books, the emperor was furious. He severely reprimanded Chu Feng and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. Chu Feng was unable to refute the ironclad evidence. Seeing that the situation was not good, his confidants turned against him one after another. In this storm, Chu Feng's power was severely damaged, and he was no longer able to compete for the position of the crown prince. The dust settled, and he finally ascended the throne of the crown prince. After a series of open and secret struggles, the power of other princes was weakened, and Chu Tian's position in the court became more and more stable. With his wisdom, strategy and connections, he won the support of more and more ministers. Seeing Chu Tian's performance in the court and his efforts for the country and the people, the emperor gradually recognized him in his heart. Finally, at a grand ceremony, the emperor announced Chu Tian as the crown prince, and Chu Tian finally succeeded in ascending the throne. After becoming the crown prince, Chu Tian did not relax himself. He knew that this was only the first step in realizing his ambition. In the following days, he continued to work hard, learn the way of governing the country, and make full preparations for ascending the throne and becoming the emperor in the future to govern the country. And his thrilling stories of power struggles in the court also spread inside and outside the palace, becoming a legend among people.
Chu Tian was busy in the factory all day, and after get off work, he dragged his tired body to the courtyard. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, but it failed to dispel his tiredness.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I heard Qin Huairu's familiar voice: "Brother Chu Tian, it's time to get off work! Are you free today? Come to my house for dinner." Qin Huairu stood at the door of her house with a warm smile on her face.
