Xiao Chenyu was the ninth emperor of the Chenshuo Dynasty.
Every new emperor who ascends the throne must hold a line renewal ceremony to stabilize the lineage with the longevity of the emperor. His father died suddenly after working for twenty-two years. My grandfather worked for fifteen years and died of heart palpitations.
Now it's his turn.
He opened a yellowed old file, which recorded the resumes of nine people. Nine talents and nine lives were marked as "available" by his father.
Later, among these nine people, four died for their country and five survived.
The one who survived to the end was named Song Huaichen. Seventy-eight years old, half-blind, he goes boating on Chengming Lake every day, with eight wine glasses in the boat.
Someone asked why there were eight.
He said: Originally there were nine. I still use it.
