Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 321 The monkey show is staged, and there is a decision at the end

Night, Qin Palace.

In the study room, there are only Qian Yuan, Zuo Ci and Ying Qiong.

What Qianyuan is playing with is the storage ring of Chihu Zhenren. During the day, Yingqiong swept away the ring with his sword light, and was also worried that it would fall into the hands of Princess Qingcheng.

Don't forget, there is still half of the Nine-turn Nine-Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill in the ring.

It is ironic to say that, as a great cultivator in the spirit stage, the death of Chihu Zhenren brought a full 10 killing points to Qianyuan, which was just worth half of a divine pill.

Qian Yuan was not greedy for the divine pill, but mainly because he was afraid that Princess Qingcheng would draw some bad guesses from the clue of the divine pill.

The matter of instigating the Chihu real person to assassinate the new emperor can only be known to the three of Qian Yuan, and they must not leak the slightest bit to the outside world.

Even Xingbu, Qianyuan didn't say hello or give any hints beforehand.

I just don’t want to cause any problems.

In Chihu Zhenren's storage ring, in addition to the Kunlun school's kung fu classics, there are some fragmentary refining materials, pills, talismans and the like.

It doesn't look in Qian Yuan's eyes.

From it, Qianyuan found a piece of incomplete diamond-shaped ancient jade.

Counting the fragments obtained from Taixuzi, Tantaixiong and Luo Mengli respectively, only the piece of Lijiqi ancient jade is left in the hands of the Zixiao Sword Sect.

After Longshou County was invaded by the Zhulong Kingdom, the Zixiao Sword Sect resolutely abandoned King Wei, moved directly to Shendu, and attached itself to the new emperor.

With the popularity of King Wei, the Zixiao Sword Sect is probably going to be restless again.

Qian Yuan is not in a hurry.

After taking out the exercise book, Qian Yuan threw the storage ring, together with half of the Nine-Turn-Nine-Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill in his hand, to Zuo Ci on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Give it to sir."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

As calm as Zuo Ci, he couldn't hide his excited expression, not to mention the nine-turn nine-returning jade liquid pill, this storage ring alone is worth a lot of money, and I don't know how many monks covet it.

That's why Qian Yuan can be so rich.

Qianyuan didn't give Yingqiong the storage ring, not because of partiality, but because the system directly gave Yingqiong a magic bag, so there was no need for the storage ring at all.

This is the "eccentricity" of the system.

Seeing Zuo Ci solemnly put the pill back together, Qian Yuan said with a smile: "I hope, Mister won't need this Nine-Turn-Nine-Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill in the future."

"Borrow Your Highness auspicious words."

Zuo Ci was a little ashamed, even though he was very talented and had been tempered, he didn't dare to say that he would be able to break through obstacles, strengthen his heart, and achieve a top-grade golden elixir.

After chatting for a while, Zuo Ci and Yingqiong left one after another.

They didn't talk to Qian Yuan about fighting for the throne, Zuo Ci sticks to his duty and doesn't interfere in common affairs; Ying Qiong is not interested in these things at all.

"Your Highness, the eldest grandson is still waiting in the living room." Xu Chu came in to report.

Qian Yuan smiled wryly.

The people who followed him were his uncle, grandson Yun, who was most concerned about fighting for the throne, and he came here in the afternoon, but he didn't want to come to find Qianyuan again in the middle of the night.

But we still have to see each other.

"Please come to the study." Qian Yuan said.

"promise!"

After a while, Changsun Yun came in, and before he sat down, he hurriedly said: "Yuan'er, I have heard about it. The Dugu family, the Yang family, the Xiao family, and the Xu family have already expressed their support for King Wei's succession to the throne." .”

"The Xiao family and the Xu family have also expressed their views?" This surprised Qian Yuan a little.

Fortunately, the Xiao family understands a little better. After the death of King Qianke of Chu, they are eager to find a new backer.It's just that the Xu family surrendered so quickly?

Xu Kang is an old fox.
"Yes." Changsun Yun couldn't hide his anxiety, "Yuan'er, the situation is not good for us now. With these big families expressing their views, other families in Shendu are basically following their lead."

"Why don't you go to activities too?" Zhang Sunyun suggested.

"No need."

Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Uncle, don't go to activities, I have my own opinion on this matter." He wants to see what tricks the family group will play this time.

Just to see some things clearly.

"you!"

Changsun Yun was almost killed by Qian Yuan's anger, but Qian Yuan didn't want to reveal a word.

Qianyuan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's better to go back and rest early." He didn't tell Changsun Yun because he didn't want the Family Group to get a hint of the news.

Those guys have sharper noses than dogs.

…………

The next day.

As expected, Empress Dowager Xu issued a decree, stating that the eldest son of the emperor, Qian Rui, was too young to be an important weapon of the empire. The court ministers, princes and nobles discussed together to choose another wise king from the royal family.

Yizhi,
It is equivalent to officially sounding the clarion call for the throne.

On the same day, more than a dozen ministers came up to play, electing Wei Wang Qiantai to succeed him. They spoke scorchingly, saying that Wei Wang not only has the legacy of the previous emperor, but also has meritorious service in stationing the western border.

In short, he praised King Wei to the sky.

Of course, there were also those who recommended Ganyou, King of Yan, with similar rhetoric; but there were very few people who recommended Qianyuan, King Qin, which surprised the outsiders.

In the next three days, more and more ministers participated in the performance. Except for a few high-ranking officials, all the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing who had the authority to perform the performance alone participated in it.

Memorials piled up like a mountain.

On the fifth day, not only the capital officials, but even the local county guards and generals in the army began to express their attitudes, either explicitly or implicitly.

More than [-]% of them were the ones who elected the king of Wei, which formed a surging momentum that swept the world, not only reminding people of the grand occasion when the prince was elected.

On the fifth day of May, that is, a week after the assassination of the new emperor, even Yan Wang Qianyou couldn't bear the pressure on his face, and voluntarily announced his withdrawal from the competition sequence.

People have to admire Wei Wang's methods.

During this period, the government and the public were very lively. They discussed in the Yamen during the day, went to various banquets in the evening, exchanged gossips, and wrote excerpts to continue to build momentum for the King of Wei. They were very busy.

In stark contrast, the Prince Qin's Mansion was silent from beginning to end, and King Qin himself never left the Palace, let alone saw anyone he met.

Some people say that King Qin was ashamed to meet people because there were too few people who supported him, which was far from expectations.

There are also a few people who speculate that King Qin is hiding in the mansion and holding back his big move. After all, King Qin has a great reputation, and he is not so easy to admit defeat so easily.

Anyway,
Before King Qin, the "Imperial God of War", made his statement, no one dared to say that the matter was settled.

Everyone was waiting for King Qin to speak.

…………

On the sixth day of May, Wei Wangfu.

Under the night, the Prince Wei's Mansion was still brightly lit. These days, the Prince Wei's Mansion was full of guests, and there was an endless stream of people. Even if it was already night, there was still a long queue of gift givers.

In Wei Wang's study, besides Wei Wang himself, there are Dugu Zhen, Xu Kang, Xiao Jinzheng and other great family figures, and even He Shoujiang, the former military minister who was dismissed by Emperor Qian before, is among them.

Obviously,

With King Wei coming to power, He Shoujiang's official career will usher in a second spring.

"King Qin hasn't expressed his opinion for a long time. What's your opinion?" At this time, King Wei already had a hint of imperial airs, his domineering side was leaking, and he didn't call Qian Yuan his fifteenth brother anymore.

Even so, it's hard to hide his fear of Qian Yuan.

Dugu Zhen and the others looked at each other. This matter has been discussed several times, but they have not been able to come up with a good solution. After all, Qian Yuan is not an ordinary prince, but the overlord of the mainland who governs the eight counties.

If King Qin is unhappy, the foundation of the empire may be shaken, and because of this, the family group's determination to exclude King Qin has been strengthened.

"Or, just send him..."

He Shoujiang made a gesture of wiping his neck, his eyes dim.

Whether He Shoujiang can be restored this time depends entirely on whether King Wei can take the throne. He is naturally the most concerned, and he does not hesitate to block the fate of the entire family.

At the critical moment, He Shoujiang was also the most ruthless.

"Your Highness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once King Qin dies, not only will the empire be truly unified, but the six counties will also be increased for nothing, and the strength will be greatly increased."

He Shoujiang's words are very deceptive.

Wei Wang blinked, shook his head and sighed: "Don't think about it. Don't forget that Master Chihu was a strong man in the late stage of the soul, but he was killed by a maid next to King Qin with a sword. That should be the legend. Daoist Jindan, any assassination he wants to do is no different from suicide."

"..."

Everyone is silent.

Daoist Jindan, that is an existence that the entire Eastern Continent needs to look up to.

Seeing this, Dugu Zhen simply said: "If the King of Qin doesn't make a statement, then force him to make a statement. I suggest that there should be no further delay. A grand court meeting will be held the day after tomorrow, and King Qin and King Yan will be invited to join and decide the ownership of the throne together."

On the one hand, Duguzhen was worried that the delay would lead to changes, and on the other hand, he was also worried that the empire would be left without a master for a long time, which would give Zhulong Kingdom and Beidi Kingdom an opportunity to take advantage of.

It's better to cut the mess with a sharp knife.

"That's a good idea."

Wei Wang's eyes lit up. Following Yan Wang Qianyou's surrender, the entire court was basically his people, and the grand court meeting was held to win this round with dignity.

Everything, just wait for the day after tomorrow to see the outcome.

…………

The news that the court meeting is about to be held has brought the atmosphere between the government and the opposition to its peak.

Some of the civil and military ministers who put themselves under King Wei's tent couldn't help but celebrate in advance, imagining that after King Wei ascended the throne, they would get the promised return.

On this day, the restaurants and teahouses in Shendu were overcrowded.

…………

On the seventh day of May, Zhanfu.

War Soul, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is one of the few senior officials in the court who has not expressed his opinion. It is not that War Soul does not want to express his position, but he received a letter from his father, Zhan Tian, ​​asking him to remain neutral before the election of the throne.

Fortunately, the Zhan family is a military family, and they uphold the tradition that warriors do not discuss politics, so it will not be criticized.

"But, father~~~"

Knowing that He Shoujiang might be used by the King of Wei, the soul of war was impatient. If he didn't express his position at this time, then he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had basically achieved his goal.

It's just his father's order, and the fighting spirit will never dare to disobey it.

…………

At the same time, Prince Qin's Mansion.

Qian Yuan, who got the news, got up and came to the window, looking at the vast sky outside the window, his gaze was long, "It's time to make a decision."

Like Dugu Zhen, he was worried that if the matter dragged on for a long time, it would affect the situation on the front line.
