King Loulan died, and so did the successor to the next high priest.

Now, the backbone of the entire Loulan Kingdom is the only High Priest left.

Loulan is in a situation where the dragons have no leader. In order to prevent the situation in Loulan from deteriorating, the high priest can only come forward and appoint a new king as soon as possible, so as to solve the current problem.

Obviously, the courtiers of Loulan also understood this point, and after seeing the high priest appearing, they stepped forward to salute one after another.

"Everyone, my king was brutally killed. Logically speaking, the Loulan dragons have no leader. It is hard to say how to resolve the grievances between them and Daqin. I think our biggest problem now should be to support a new king as soon as possible and end the situation of the Loulan dragons without a leader. !"

"As for the grievances with Da Qin, how about we discuss it after the new king takes office?"

……

Regarding the words of the high priest, it is naturally impossible for all the courtiers of Loulan to agree, and some people still raised objections.

However, the position of the high priest in Loulan is also very high, and most people agreed, so the opinions of these people were also suppressed.

"Since this is the case, we will determine the candidate for the new king as soon as possible!"

The Loulan royal family naturally has a backup candidate for the new king!

No matter where you go, the theory of blood lineage has been widely used in feudal dynasties.

Even in the land of the Central Plains, there are divisions of concubines and concubines, and although Loulan is different, there are many similarities.

Therefore, after the death of King Loulan, the candidate for the new king is naturally the eldest son of King Loulan.

As the eldest prince of Loulan, he has many supporters, and it can be said that nearly [-]% of Loulan's strength has been gathered!
Therefore, after hearing the words of the high priest, everyone mentioned the name of the eldest prince Loulan without hesitation!

The high priest was noncommittal about this, and did not express his position, but just quietly listened to the discussion of everyone!
Obviously, the supporters of the eldest prince had an absolute upper hand, and soon [-]% of the ministers present agreed with the eldest prince's supremacy.

Of course, there were also people who recommended other princes, but they all acted their own way. Seeing that they could not compete with the eldest prince, they decisively shut their mouths!

"It seems that everyone already has a candidate for a new king in their hearts. If so, I will announce that our new king is..."

The high priest raised his crutches and was about to pronounce the name of the eldest prince when suddenly there was a commotion outside!

"The new king is me!"

"who is it?"

Hearing this movement, everyone looked outside one after another, and then saw a heroic young man in armor rushing in from outside the palace!

"It's the second prince!"

"See the second prince!"

"The second prince is actually here. Is he trying to compete with the eldest prince for the throne?"

……

When everyone was wondering, the second prince of Loulan had already rushed in with his subordinates!
Moreover, the second prince was obviously not a good person, and all the subordinates behind him were fully armed, and they surrounded everyone present in the blink of an eye!

"Second Prince, what are you doing?"

The supporter of the first prince frowned, and questioned the second prince with an ugly expression.

"As my father's child, of course I want to inherit my father's legacy!"

The second prince snorted coldly, and came to the side of the high priest indifferently!
"High Priest, will you support me?"

The high priest smiled noncommittally.

"I'm just a priest. Other than my king, the king of Loulan can only be selected by the ministers. Second prince, please don't embarrass me!"

Hearing the high priest's words, the second prince cursed the old fox in his heart, and then looked at the others!
"I want to inherit the throne, who is in favor? Who is against?"

Seeing the second prince uttering his purpose so frankly, the ministers below turned pale!
"Second prince, you are just the child of my side concubine. The eldest prince is the successor of the next King Loulan. What qualifications do you have to say that you want to inherit the throne?"

"That is, when my king was still alive, he had already expressed his intention to establish the eldest prince as the next Loulan king. Second prince, you came here at this time, and you even brought so many subordinates with you. Do you want to rebel? ?”

"Second prince, your majesty's bones are not cold yet, I advise you to think twice before acting, and don't make mistakes!"

……

A few senior officials of Loulan stood up and raised objections one after another, and the second prince's face was a little hideous when he heard this!

"I really don't understand. That trash can't be a man of literature or martial arts. It doesn't matter what he wants. Why should he become the King of Loulan?"

"You bastards, how much benefit did you receive from that trash? How could you support him so much?"

"If that trash becomes the King of Loulan, sooner or later our Loulan will be completely defeated by him. Go and ask, in the whole Loulan, who doesn't know that I am the number one warrior in the Western Regions? How can I not be better than that trash?"

……

What the second prince of Loulan said is true. In the whole of Loulan, the successor of the next king of Loulan, besides the eldest prince who is the most vocal, is the second prince!
Although the second prince is young, he is naturally brave. For those in the Western Regions who believe in the concept of respecting the strong, the second prince is also a very rare talent!

But the problem is, the background of the second prince is far worse than that of the eldest prince.

The second prince's mother was just a child born to the dead King Loulan by accident with a concubine.

And the eldest prince's mother is the biological son of Loulan King's favorite queen!

The direct line plus the eldest son, with such a noble status, with the support of King Loulan, the eldest prince will have such a high voice in Loulan.

Moreover, these Loulan veterans had already reached a tacit agreement with the eldest prince.

Their interests are tied to the warship of the eldest prince. Only when the eldest prince inherits the throne of King Loulan can they recover their previous investment returns.

On the other hand, the second prince, apart from a few supporters, has no power at all.

Choosing the new king of Loulan is not only based on a person's ability, but the most important thing is the chain of interests bound behind him.

Because of King Loulan's doting, the eldest prince is definitely far superior to other princes in this respect.

As long as he has the support of so many Loulan ministers behind him, even if the eldest prince is a fool, these people will take the initiative to push him to the position of King Loulan!
This is the exchange of interests, and ability is just the icing on the cake in this kind of struggle.

"Second prince, before you make a big mistake, get out of the way, otherwise, when the new king succeeds, you have to be careful about your end!"

A group of ministers in Loulan have already started to threaten the second prince blatantly.

They have so many supporters of the eldest prince here, and the power bound behind them is simply not comparable to that of a mere second prince!

If the second prince really continues to be obsessed with obsession, it will definitely arouse public anger, and what will be caused will be the turmoil in Loulan!
But the second prince just didn't like this, because he also has a trump card in his hands, which is Loulan's military power!
To blame can only be blamed on the previous Loulan King who was too confident. He thought he was wise enough to raise his eldest son with peace of mind, and then sat on the Loulan throne smoothly. Don't let him look down on you!
