Chapter 961: Surrender the Throne Voluntarily
No one in the court dared to believe Zhang Xing.
What a joke, is there a murderous devil who doesn't kill innocent people?
You killed the ancestor Zhengyang, and you still say you won't interfere in the internal affairs of the Dongfang family, who would believe it!
Besides, what does it mean that you lie on the recliner?
You came to the meeting hall to bask in the sun.
With a killing god like you, who dares to go against the will of the ancestor Dongfang Zhaoyang?
In any case, the Dongfang Zhengyang clan is now a dog in the water, and the throne no longer belongs to them.
Although they have a feud with Dongfang Zhaoyang, he is also their ancestor.
Dongfang Xiongye didn't dare to be arrogant, and immediately stood up and walked quickly to Dongfang Zhaoyang.
With a plop, he knelt down respectfully, and without saying a word, he kowtowed three times.
The two princes also followed behind him, kneeling and kowtowed.
The other ministers also knelt down.
"Junior Dongfang Xiongye pays respect to Patriarch Zhaoyang!"
"Descendants Dongfang Qi and Dongfang Lin pay respect to the second Patriarch!"
"Subjects pay respect to the second Patriarch!"
Dongfang Zhaoyang looked at the descendants of his eldest brother, the civil and military officials, and was filled with emotion.
If he had not given up the position of crown prince, the entire court should be full of his blood descendants.
Brother Zhengyang imposed his thinking on his younger brother, thinking that his younger brother would come back sooner or later.
Now Brother Zhengyang's worries have come true.
But, after all, he is not the eldest brother, and he does not have the cruel heart of the eldest brother.
If it were the eldest brother at this moment, he would definitely kill all these descendants without mercy.
Dongfang Zhaoyang could not bear that cruel heart.
After all, the eldest brother was dead, and the grievances between them were written off.
These descendants are innocent, and he can't bear it!
When he came, Zhang Xing also said that he would not interfere in their family affairs, and it was up to him to kill or let go.
"Ah!" He sighed in his heart. They are all of the same bloodline. Why should they kill each other? Forget it, forget it!
"All of you get up. I came here to pay homage to my father and mother. You go down and prepare."
Zhang Xing smiled slightly. He knew that Brother Zhaoyang would never embarrass these juniors.
However, his actions seemed to give Dongfang Xiongye and others a way to survive, but how long can a royal family without a backer be stable?
"Yes! I will obey the will of the Second Ancestor!"
"The junior has another unwelcome request. Please fulfill it, Second Ancestor!"
Dongfang Xiongye knelt on the ground and never raised his head.
But at this moment, his heart was extremely excited.
The old ancestor Zhaoyang was kind and had no intention of killing them.
The meaning of the words was just to pay homage to the late emperor, and then leave here, no longer caring about their life and death.
He knew that without the protection of the old ancestor Zhengyang, the Dongfang family would be unstable.
It might be okay for the time being, but it won't be long before the other four major forces in the empire will covet the throne.
They will unite to overthrow the Dongfang family, and then compete for a new royal family.
The final result is still death.
"Speak, I will definitely help if I can." Dongfang Zhaoyang said lightly.
"The younger generation knows that I am not talented enough and cannot continue to be the emperor. Please choose another capable person, Second Ancestor!"
This short sentence reveals the wisdom of Dongfang Xiongye. He sees it very clearly.
"Oh?" Dongfang Zhaoyang was stunned. He didn't expect Dongfang Xiongye to have such a broad mind and give up just like that.
"This..." Dongfang Zhaoyang was not prepared and hesitated for a while.
"Brother Zhaoyang, let Dongfang Wang be the emperor. He has enough abilities in all aspects."
Zhang Xing smiled and said.
