A night passed without a word.
Yesterday, Xiao Yu'er insisted on going to see the Selection program. She tossed and turned in bed, and when she heard the morning bell, she immediately got up to wash and dress. Before dawn, she went out to wake everyone up.
Luzi, who thought someone was sleepwalking, rubbed his sleepy eyes while tying up his hair, listening to the chattering urging him. After thinking for a long time, he finally understood what was going on. Stretching lazily and standing up, he told Xiao Yu'er that even if they had gone last night, it would have been useless; one cannot rush things. The event would only open after the hour of Chen, so it wouldn't be too late to leave after Bunny Hour!
Fortune Teller Xiao Yu'er heard this and seriously calculated with her fingers. Then she reminded Luzi that going out should be timed; today, leaving during Bunny Hour would bring great fortune and even the chance to meet wealthy and influential people!
Luzi was left speechless by her casual remarks, secretly wondering. If he didn't confirm that Xiao Yu'er was on their side, he might have suspected her of being an infiltrator.
However, regardless of the situation, timing was important for going out. Since there were auspicious words spoken, they decided to leave during Bunny Hour. At worst, they could go to a street restaurant for a meal; many shops would surely be open by then.
Due to the influx of people coming to see the spectacle from various places, businesses were eager to seize this opportunity and opened early for profit. With promises of double pay for shop assistants as an incentive, many stores opened before dawn. It was said that several envoys from Feudal States arrived last night. If King Zhao hadn't personally resolved their accommodation issues, those who arrived late would have had no choice but to sleep on the streets.
When Luzi and the others stepped outside, the streets were already bustling with crowds. This made finding a place to eat suddenly a challenging task. Fortunately, breakfast times were short, so they managed to secure a seat while waiting.
Luzi found noisy dining environments particularly annoying, especially in crowded places. Eating amidst such chaos made it impossible to block out the chatter around him; his ears were filled with buzzing sounds. If it weren't for Xiao Yu'er's incessant chatter, he wouldn't have come out to eat at all.
However, one must adapt to everything; that's life! A life filled with wonderful comforts!
Those attending Zhao's Selection program were either nobles or wealthy merchants. Especially in the front rows of VIP seating within the venue, only the elite among the elites from various Feudal States could sit there. Because of this premise, the seats further back had been marked up several times by scalpers. Without at least a thousand acres of land or an official position above fourth rank, one wouldn't dare sit in those seats.
This was no longer just about high prices; it was about face! So what if you had money!? If you can't even get a VIP seat, you'd better not mention money again in the future!
Yesterday afternoon, Luzi sent a super VIP admission ticket, specifically a front-row seat, to one person. He wanted to know an answer, one that could even affect the future of the Qin State. The grandson of King Zhao of Qin—does he have what it takes to become the future king of the Qin State? If he were to underestimate such a challenge, perhaps the old man would kick this potential heir out of the line of succession.
As for handling such a significant matter so recklessly—what is the truth? The reality is just that!
To speak frankly, Zhao Xiang Wang has long surpassed his fifties. Even if the old man is in good health, age is still a factor. Not accepting aging does not mean one can escape it; a declining body will not become younger simply due to anyone's will. Concerns about the future heir of the state inevitably weigh heavily on him.
At this moment, the Qin State is strong and poised to dominate the world. The Feudal States are worried about this and naturally hope that the future heir of the Qin State will not be as formidable as King Zhao of Qin. If he were weak, it would be even better; everyone could live their lives in peace.
Currently, only King Zhao of Qin has the capability to command a million troops of the Qin State. Among his children, only the Crown Prince of Qin shows some promise, but his fate remains uncertain. Whether you acknowledge it or not, he is likely facing dire circumstances. Based on how the remaining princes conduct themselves, none seem capable of leading such a powerful army.
If the Crown Prince of Qin has indeed passed away, then the most likely successor would be Prince An Guo, who ranks next in line. King Zhao of Qin has yet to appoint another crown prince, but Prince An Guo is already in his forties and does not have any offspring. As for the other candidates for crown prince, it's better not to mention them! If any one of them were to ascend, the Qin State would surely decline. It would be a miracle if they could avoid ruining the foundation of the Qin State within five years!
What outsiders do not know is that the future heir of the Qin State is not chosen based solely on age. While it cannot be said that they follow the abdication system of Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang, there is at least an intention to select capable offspring. This aspect indeed carries a hint of mystery. The hereditary system will certainly remain unchanged since it has been established since the Xia Dynasty.
Those who ultimately stand proudly between heaven and earth have never been revealed in times of glory. This is because anyone in such an environment can embrace the world from its peak. In fact, it is quite the opposite; those who truly represent heavenly will are those who disdain being in low valleys!
If you have sunk as low as possible, then your only path left is upward! Upward! Always upward! Climb tirelessly until you reach that inevitable peak in life!
Many things are theoretical; pursuing them will inevitably face numerous external constraints. Ups and downs are natural and thus unimportant; what matters is one's attitude towards life. Luzi understands this principle well and hopes that the future king will be a wise ruler who consolidates Great Qin's foundation.
The Qin State can no longer endure repeated ups and downs; China cannot continue in this endless turmoil!
Although Keeper Cai Youdao from Handan does not know the truth behind these events, he understands how to handle matters according to his own deductions. Since Big Shopkeeper wants to participate in the Selection and repeatedly emphasizes needing a super VIP admission ticket, after careful consideration, he decided to use connections to obtain two tickets. When he met Xiao Yu'er, he felt that heaven would never disappoint those who are determined. With Big Shopkeeper attending, it was certain that Sister-in-law disguised as a man would also participate.
When Xiao Yu'er received the two VIP entrance tickets, she pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out their deeper meaning. When she personally handed the tickets to Luzi, Luzi surprisingly said nothing, only smiling and nodding.
