Chapter 777: Ownership of the Throne
In the palace, Ji Xuanyuan and the others had already arrived, while the princes secretly glanced at the dragon chair in the middle, with a hint of longing and greed in their eyes. W≠
If you were born in the royal family, you are doomed to fight and rob.
If the prince hadn't been abolished before, and King Tai Ji Yancheng and others were still strong, then they wouldn't have such thoughts at all, and would just be an idle prince, trying to protect themselves.
But now that God has given them such an opportunity, who wouldn't want to fight for it?
Shu Wang Ji Yanxiu was also among them, but his performance was very low-key, standing here alone in silence.
In fact, he now also knows that whether he and others can become the emperor is completely in the hands of Ji Xuanyuan and others.
They were all idle princes entrusted in different ways of the Great Zhou before, and they didn't have much prestige and confidence.
If the prince and the others hadn't been abolished, Ji Xuanyuan and the others would have chosen them directly, and it would never be their turn.
So no matter how much they dance now, it's useless. It's better to keep a low profile and wait for the result.
In fact, Ji Yanxiu was also a little unwilling. He never thought that Ji Haodian would leave so suddenly, and there was no way to even designate an heir.
He has managed the power in Bashu Road for such a long time, and he is preparing to fight in Shengjing City, and even wins over Su Xin, one of the four great catchers, but now it is useless, which makes him a little depressed.
And when Ji Xuanyuan saw that everyone had arrived, he coughed and said, "A country cannot be without a king for a day, so today I am waiting to announce the ownership of the throne."
The princes present immediately cheered up, and Ji Xuanyuan continued: "Your Majesty left too hastily, so he didn't leave any last words, and the prince was abolished before, so the throne has to be chosen from among the princes.
It's just that we, as ministers, do not actually have the qualifications to designate someone to inherit the throne, which is not in line with the etiquette, so you still have to fight for the throne yourself. "
As he said that, Ji Xuanyuan directly took out thirteen tokens and handed them to every prince present, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you all have your own forces, and you even have your own allies in the Jianghu. So this time we discussed and decided to give you a chance to show your means and strength.
You have one month, and whoever can snatch the most tokens from the other party within a month can become the prince.
According to the etiquette system, the prince can ascend the throne one month after the founding of the country.
But please pay attention to the princes, it is okay to join forces with people in the Jianghu, but you can't sell the interests of Da Zhou, like those in the clan's mansion who eat inside and outside, you can't learn from it. "
The expressions of the many princes present were immediately brightened. Of course they would not learn from those idiots who sold themselves for the throne. Except for the strength of these princes who are too weak, the others all have their own influence and connections. Now that Ji Xuanyuan allowed them to do it, these people are all qualified to fight.
At this time, Ji Xuanyuan coughed and said: "When the princes are fighting, all the warriors of the Yang God Realm in Dazhou will not intervene.
There are some problems with the dragon veins, so it needs to be repaired by the real martial arts and Yang God realm powerhouses of the whole Dazhou. Therefore, when the princes fight in Shengjing City, even if they have the power of the Yang God Realm in their hands, they cannot use it. . "
The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty died, and there were indeed some problems with the dragon veins. The formation masters of the Great Zhou thought that a large number of strong men were needed to suppress it, but it was enough for those few strong men in the real martial arts realm to take action. Ji Xuanyuan Waiting for the existence of the Yang God Realm to stay out of seclusion together is also to limit the scale of these battles for the throne. After all, this is Shengjing City, and it would be bad if things got big.
In fact, in Su Xin's view, Ji Xuanyuan's behavior is nothing more than taking off his pants and farting.
Right now, the prestige of these princes in the Great Zhou is basically zero. To put it bluntly, if it is not because of their blood, any one of these royal families with the surname Ji who is chosen to inherit the throne will be better than them.
The reason why Ji Xuanyuan and the others didn't want to choose an emperor by themselves was actually very simple, they just didn't want to cause trouble.
After all, in name, they are just courtiers, and all courtiers are qualified to choose the emperor's candidate. This kind of thing is hard to say.
Moreover, people's minds will also change with the change of status.
If today Ji Xuanyuan and the others elect a prince to succeed the crown prince and ascend the throne, on the surface there will be no problem, and the selected prince will even be grateful to Ji Xuanyuan and the others, but it will be difficult to guarantee that after he really takes the throne It will give birth to a different thought.
If you can put me on the throne today, will you be able to help others on the throne in the future?
This kind of thing is very likely to happen. At that time, even if the prince who is put on the throne is not afraid, he will feel very uncomfortable.
So once Ji Xuanyuan and the others discussed it, they simply ignored it and let them make trouble in Shengjing City for a month to see how capable they were.
Except for the warriors in the Yang God Realm who can't make a move, you can draw as much power as you can from the other existences of the God Fusion Realm and the God Transformation Realm. Ji Xuanyuan and the others don't care, as long as they don't do anything that will harm Da Zhou's interests. things will do.
Ji Xuanyuan's words lifted the spirits of many princes present. As long as Ji Xuanyuan gives them this opportunity, these people will definitely dare to fight!
After the matter was finished, everyone dispersed directly. Su Xin was about to go back to the six gates of Shengjing City, but at this time Ji Yanxiu followed Su Xin directly and whispered: "Master Su, don't forget our original agreement. But it is the time when this king wants to use you, Mr. Su!"
Su Xin shook his head and said: "It's not the time yet, Your Highness the King of Shu, it's not good for me to come out to face you so early."
Ji Yanxiu frowned and said, "Why?"
Su Xin pointed to himself and said, "Because my strength is too strong."
Ji Yanxiu was stunned, what does Su Xin mean, boasting?
Su Xin patiently explained to Ji Yanxiu: "His Royal Highness, let's not talk about the power behind the other princes, but I can guarantee that even if they have the help of the Taoist Gate behind them, they will never dare to reveal it, or even I will try my best to get rid of them.
Just now King Changshan has made it very clear that fighting for the throne is fighting for the throne, but he must not do things that endanger the interests of the Great Zhou.
In this way, even if they really have the support of a force like the Good Fortune Gate behind them, they dare not use it, but try their best to clear the relationship.
And in this way, whether they use the power they have cultivated or go to the rivers and lakes to find foreign aid, it can be said that their power is not as strong as the people under my command.
If I show my attitude to help you, Your Highness, the only result for them is that they unite to get rid of you, the biggest threat, first.
With all due respect, if that time really comes, I will definitely not fight against all the princes joining forces, and I don't have the strength.
At that time, Your Highness the King of Shu, you should obediently hand over the token in your hand and give up fighting for the throne. "
Ji Yanxiu frowned and said, "In that case, Master Su, when are you going to make a move?"
Su Xin said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. Now all the thirteen princes are qualified to compete for the throne. I will take action when more than half of these thirteen princes are eliminated and the rest are evenly matched."
Ji Yanxiu nodded helplessly, and he also knew that what Su Xin said was reasonable, and he could only do so now.
By the next day, the news that the many princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were going to compete for the throne had been completely disseminated in the Jianghu, and some of them were even deliberately released by those princes, with only one purpose, and that was to recruit allies in the Jianghu.
Forces at a level similar to Good Fortune Daomen will naturally not be interested in Da Zhou's internal affairs, and after the last battle in Shengjing City, the people of Da Zhou are already full of vigilance against them, even if they want to intervene. impossible.
It's just that they don't intervene, but it doesn't mean that other martial arts forces don't want to intervene.
The imperial court and the Jianghu are not completely opposed to each other. Some difficulties faced by some sects can be easily resolved if they can cooperate with the imperial court.
For example, in the Taihang Village on Henan Province at this time, the thirty-six knives hall powerhouses gathered, and the owner of the village, "Heavenly Headless" Ke Yanyue was sitting in the center, listening to a warrior dressed as a scribe below telling the news from Shengjing City .
"Village Master, the King of Nalu, Ji Yanchang, specially sent someone a message. As long as my Taihang Village can help him win the throne this time, he is willing to seal my Taihang Village as a separate army named 'Shen Dao'. The Lord is the chief commander of the Divine Sword Army marching."
Hearing this, the second seated man, with a pair of knives hanging from his waist, was about thirty years old, with a masculine face, but there was a hint of evil at the corner of his mouth, and he sneered, "Fart the fuck!
What does King Laoshizi Lu think of my Taihang cottage? Is this an incorporation or recruitment? In this way, wouldn't my Taihang cottage be equivalent to surrendering to him Da Zhou?
Besides, what does it mean that he only gave the village master the position of chief commander of the march? Da Zhou's Great Field Army and Forty-Nine Dao's marching chiefs are the strongest but only in the state of fusion. Doesn't he mean that the village master is only worthy of comparison with those warriors in the state of fusion in Da Zhou? "
The warrior dressed as a scribe frowned and said: "Bu Qianlong, don't mess around, the Great General of the Great Zhou can command all the Great Zhou's army, will the imperial court give such an important position to the village master?
The position of the chief commander of the march is actually just a reputation. We are not taking refuge in Dazhou, but just listening to the tune and not the announcement.
Besides, the salary that Da Zhou should give us will not lose us a penny. Isn't it enough to exchange a reputation for so many things? "
Besides, our Taihang Village has not been easy to mess with these years. It is time to find a backer. At least this week is very good. If we can help Lu Wang Ji Yanchang ascend the throne, it will be a contribution from the dragon. Our Taihang Village can Got definitely more than expected. "
