Ask Sword

Cui Yixian stepped forward with a blank expression, and came to his uncle.

The members of the Cui clan at the side quickly got up and made way for Cui Yixian to sit down.

I have read the school rules and regulations of the Academy, which mentioned that the candidates for each term of mountain chief should be recommended by the previous mountain chief, and only those who get more than 70% of the votes of all the tenured doctors of the academy can be elected. selected.

If no more than 70% of the votes are obtained, the head of the mountain needs to nominate additional candidates to compete for the position together.

The old patriarch of the Cui family calmly said: Chen Danqiu's current position of mountain chief is only verbally approved by Lian Xuanxiao, and has not been voted by the tenured doctors of the academy, so it is not in compliance with the rules.

This is one of them.

There's another one?

Cui Yixian asked coldly.

have.

The patriarch of the Cui clan nodded and said: The process is not complete, and Chen Danqiu's position as the mountain leader is invalid. It is enough to start a meeting, organize a lifetime doctor, and re-election.

Cui Yixian was unmoved, This rule is rarely used.

The Academy has always had a tradition of supporting the horse and sending it off. It is rare that the previous head of the mountain passed away unexpectedly and it was too late to recommend a successor.

It is also rare that the position of the head of the mountain is pending, and the two factions are fighting each other openly and secretly.

But it's not without precedent.

The old patriarch smiled slightly, The third.

He took an envelope from his pocket and threw it out.

Under the action of thoughts, the envelope floated steadily to Cui Yixian's body, and he reached out to take it and opened it.

There is only a thin page inside the envelope, and the content is very simple. It is the household registration certificate of a man surnamed Chen.

This is the information of Chen Danqiu's father.

The old patriarch said leisurely: He was originally a minor noble from the Jing country, but because of his feud with the local tyrants, he fled to the Yu country, and met a noble lady in Zhao County.

With his good looks and eloquence, he became a son-in-law and gave birth to Chen Danqiu. Relying on the relationship of the woman's family, he quietly changed his household registration.

That is to say, Chen Danqiu is actually from Jing country.

Hehe, this information has long been dusty in the Zhao County document library, and it has been eaten for many years. It was a coincidence that a friend of mine found it.

I'm afraid Chen Danqiu himself doesn't even know. Of course, it is also possible that he knew it and didn't take it to heart.

Cui Yixian read through the naturalization documents word by word, and with a move of his sword, he smashed the paper into ashes—this is a hand-copied copy, and the original must have been hidden by the old patriarch.

It doesn't matter.

Cui Yixian's tone was cold, Yu State didn't value blood, there were several generals and ministers of Hu blood in the imperial court, and there were lifelong doctors from other countries in the academy.

At other times, it really doesn't matter, but it's different now.

The old patriarch took a sip of his tea and said with a smile: At today's funeral, I could clearly see that most of the doctors from other countries were sitting on the edge of the cemetery. Those who were near Lian Xuanxiao's tomb were all from the country of Yu.

If it is said that Yu State's previous war preparations were to resist foreign humiliation and defend the country,

Then after Lian Xuanxiao smashed the Zhou Kingdom's palace, attacked and killed the Turkic priests, and cut down the peak of Taihao Mountain, the only possibility left was the war of destroying the country.

No matter which country is destroyed.

The undercurrent is already surging. At this moment, those doctors from other countries must have been monitored by the Supervision Department.

Not only must they be prevented from returning to the country to serve the motherland, but they must also be strictly guarded to prevent them from betraying the country of Yu and defecting with secrets such as Tianjiao, penicillin, and spiritual energy machines.

Those who are not of my race must have a different heart, this sentence is not just talking.

Under such circumstances, would the lifelong doctors of Yu nationality, who accounted for the majority of the total number, accept a person of Jing nationality who concealed it and did not report it as their mountain leader?

Don't forget, the temple where Chen Danqiu is currently retreating is a holy place for learning.

The old patriarch's heart was full of words, and he insisted on Chen Danqiu's blood of the Jing Kingdom, but Cui Yixian still had a flat expression, showing no emotion.

Another point.

The old patriarch paused, and said slowly: Yixian, the school has been passed down to this day, and there are a total of more than forty mountain chiefs and hundreds of divisions.

Among all the businessmen, those who were born in Qiwang with five surnames, and were related to Qiwang with five surnames accounted for more than 30%. And among them, how many people can become mountain leaders?

The answer is no.

Even according to the rules of taking turns to sit on the farm, this result is impossible.

For so many years, Xuegong and Li Yu's royal family have always been wary of our family, even though we have pulled out our minions, disarmed, and retreated step by step, they still did not regard us as a member of the Yu Kingdom.

Yixian, you have worked in the academy for many years, and the number of demons and evil spirits you have killed for the academy far exceeds that of Chen Danqiu who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and rarely goes out.

Why is he not you? Just by Lian Xuanxiao's words, this position belongs to him, Chen Danqiu?

.

I don't know which sentence touched my nerves, Cui Yixian frowned, looked around at everyone present, and said coldly: The head of the mountain has just been buried, and you called me here just to say that?

An acquaintance of the clan elders also persuaded: Yixian, we are not trying to betray Yu State, but to seek peace for the whole family and future generations.

Just imagine, if the position of the mountain chief still belonged to Chen Danqiu, what would we do if the state of Yu forced the children of our family to go to the battlefield after the talisman of guarding the mountains and rivers dissipated and the war of destroying the country broke out?

Do you have the heart to watch your nephews and juniors lose their lives in vain?

Tantai Leshan is a scholar without ambition. Xue Che is a reckless warrior, nothing to worry about. Xi Yangyu's identity is suspicious, and he has no room to argue with you.

Right now is the best opportunity. If you can ascend to the position of mountain leader, the family can save unnecessary sacrifices.

Retire, in case the decline of Yu Kingdom appears, we can also have one more bargaining chip with Taihaoshan.

That's right.

Another elder of the clan also said: Lian Xuanxiao did a great job. He cut down the peak of Taihao Mountain, seriously injured Haotian's head teacher, tore off the last trace of face of both sides, and pushed Yu Country to the point of no return.

At this moment, in Chang'an City, there are more than one family or two who are discussing the way out like us.

It also includes those dignitaries in the two capitals who shouted loudly about promoting Yulong to die as the king and rest with the country-everyone is doing this.

Cui Yixian's eyelids twitched slightly, and he turned his head slowly, looking at his uncle who hesitated to speak, Uncle, what about you?

Yixian, I,

The uncle rubbed his palms together, lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, I'm also the one who holds grandchildren.

It is his pursuit for the rest of his life to enjoy his grandchildren and enjoy his old age peacefully.

There is no coercion or threat from within the family at all, and it is entirely out of his personal will to come forward to persuade Cui Yixian today.

.

Cui Yixian fell into a long silence. At the dinner table, the gazes focused on him were either hopeful, worried, or begging. All the clansmen were waiting for his answer.

brush.

Under the table, Cui Yixian let go of the sword hilt.
