From space to the world, it takes trillions of years

It is mid-September and deep autumn has arrived.

The jujube tree in Chen Yu's yard finally lost all its leaves.

Two months later, the edict of the new emperor's accession to the throne reached Baimu Town.

Most of the townspeople were indifferent.

The emperor was too far away for them, and who sat on the throne seemed to have less impact on them than whether the crops in the field had a few bugs today.

But to those close to the power center of Daning, this change of the throne was like a drama, a funny but bloody and cruel drama.

The one who inherited the throne was not the crown prince, but the third son, the son of the imperial concubine.

The old emperor and the queen had a very close relationship.

From being a child before he ascended the throne to husband and wife working together to govern the empire, the two have experienced decades of sharing weal and woe, and prosperity together.

The queen also has only one son, so logically, the throne belongs to the prince without any dispute.

Unfortunately, after the old emperor passed away, the queen was so sad that she passed away a few days later.

The prince had been hoping for his father's death while the old emperor was alive. After his father's death, he discovered that he was a good-for-nothing fool and even the throne he had obtained could be taken away by others.

The imperial concubine secretly communicated with the general of Yulin Guard and led the imperial guards to raid the Eastern Palace.

The prince's family of fourteen was beheaded and thrown into the market on charges of falsifying an imperial edict and treason.

Along with him died the old emperor's other four adult princes in Beijing.

The reason is that there may not be actual rebellion, but there may be intentional treason.

The third prince's accession to the throne was illegitimate, and rebellions broke out in various places that were already unstable.

The eighth prince, the eleventh prince and six other princes were leading troops outside.

Although the highest position was only a captain of a thousand men, after the news came that the third prince had ascended the throne and the crown prince had been executed for treason, all the armies supported the prince as their leader and occupied counties.

As a custom and also to consolidate his rule, the new emperor issued an amnesty decree.

Except for those who committed the ten most heinous crimes, the rest would be spared from beheading or have their sentences reduced, and those with minor crimes would be able to return home.

Rebels who surrender immediately will be forgiven.

Everyone knew about the severe drought in border counties and other places except the deceased emperor, so taxes were exempted.

At the same time, the new emperor felt that good talents were hard to find, so he sought help and opened a special examination the next year.

The county and state examinations are held every three years and were just held last year.

The meaning of opening an extra examination is that there will be an additional test next year, and the plans for imperial examinations at all levels the year after will remain unchanged.

Xu Yan's son Xu Xiru naturally stepped up preparations for next year's provincial examination.

Obtaining the title of Juren means truly becoming a member of the upper class in Daning.

As for the current chaos in the world, the third prince doesn't know whether he can keep his throne.

No matter who comes to power, he cannot cancel the achievements previously recognized by the court, otherwise he will be in defiance of the world and become an enemy of all scholars.

Chen Yu lightly swung the fishing rod; the troubles in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

He has become more and more addicted to fishing recently. Apart from practicing, he stays by the Baimu Valley and sometimes even doesn't want to eat.

Today I met my match.

A big red carp about one foot long, extremely cunning.

When ordinary fish see this earthworm bait rich in spiritual energy, they swallow it up without hesitation.

Once Chen Yu pulled him out of the water, no matter how hard he struggled, it was of no use.

This fish was different. Although it also wanted the earthworm, it always sucked, pecked and pulled it carefully from the side, never touching the hook.

The wooden float was always moving. When I lifted the fishing rod, the earthworm was indeed gone.

Only a bare fish hook was left, as if mocking his incompetence.

No more fishing, no more fishing, Chen Yu said angrily and threw the fishing rod to the shore.

I have only caught seven small fish from this morning till now.

Even these few fish were caught before the red carp appeared.

After the red carp came to cause trouble, he didn't catch any fish!

After thinking about it, Chen Yu picked up the fishing rod and the earthenware jar and prepared to go fishing downstream of the ditch.

But who would have thought that not long after the bait was thrown, the red carp swam over again.

A big red shadow was darting back and forth in the water.

Sure enough, after a while, when Chen Yu lifted the fishing rod again, the bait was gone again.

The duck finished playing in the water and was now carefully combing its feathers on the shore. Seeing Chen Yu's unfriendly expression, it turned its head away with an innocent look.

Chen Yu became angrier and angrier as he thought about how he had lost face in front of his own ducks.

I pulled out a 20-30 year old spiritual medicine from the space and used it as bait. I don't believe you can remain rational in the face of such temptation.

Chen Yu broke the herbs into small pieces and put them on the hook one by one.

When the bait entered the water, the red carp rushed over again, looking much crazier than before.

Little guy, Chen Yu was secretly proud in his heart.

But just as the carp was about to swallow the hook along with the bait, it suddenly stopped.

That human-like wary look made Chen Yumeng feel so angry that his teeth itched.

It no longer opened its mouth wide, but went around the back of the fishhook and used its mouth to push out the elixir particles one by one.

Chen Yu raised and lowered the rod, but he could not change the fish's behavior. He had to watch it eat up all the bait.

After swallowing the last pill of the elixir, the red carp swam away staggeringly as if it was drunk.

Could it be that the medicine is too strong and has damaged it, Chen Yu thought.

But it’s a good thing that the red carp left.

Chen Yu changed the bait to big earthworms and continued fishing for small fish in the river.

In just a few minutes, I caught fish one after another. This experience was much better than the previous experience with the carp.

At sunset, Chen Yu put away his fishing rod, having fished all day long.

The specially bought fish basket contained about sixty or seventy fish, all of which were two fingers wide and four inches long.

If it weren't for that red carp, we would have definitely gotten much more today.

The duck got home before him and quacked at the door.

Chen Yu opened the door. Ta Mei was still guarding the jade bottle in the yard. She was really hardworking and never complained.

Chen Yu threw the unused medicinal herbs to it.

When it saw its owner, it jumped over happily and swallowed the elixir.

During this period, Ta Mei's strength improved rapidly. He estimated that he had reached the second or third level of acquired strength.

The improvement brought by one spiritual medicine per day may take an ordinary warrior several months of effort.

The other animals in the yard also gradually became unusual, especially the big rooster, which Chen Yu suspected that even several adult men would find it difficult to catch.

At this moment, he was walking along the edge of the well with three hens. The most eye-catching thing was the big bright red comb on top of their heads, which looked very majestic.

These chickens have been bought for more than two months. They were half-mature chickens when I bought them, but they still don’t lay eggs.

Chen Yu wondered if the hens had taken too many tonics, which led to endocrine disorders.

The blood-strengthening powder made from the flesh and blood of the "viper" is still being fed to them today.

The rapid progress of Ta Mei was largely due to Xu Yan’s prescription for Zhuangxue San.

Forget it, if you don’t want to lay eggs, then don’t lay eggs.

It is also possible that the chicken's life level is improving, so its breeding cycle is naturally extended.

Chen Yu is even more looking forward to whether these little guys will really turn into monsters one day after being fed by him.
