Strongest replication

After thinking for a long time, the third elder in charge of punishment felt that he must stand up and oppose Chu Zhongtian's recommendation of Chu Zhongba as the first leader of Chu.

Because in his own opinion, the reason why he opposed Chu Zhongba's appointment as the leader was for the future of the family.

"Young clan leader, I have seen Zhongba grow up since he was a child. I know that he is a good child with outstanding qualifications and a simple mind, but the position of the nine-five supreme needs an experienced person who is good at handling government affairs, so I don't agree that Chu Zhongba will become the new leader of Chu."

In Chu Tianyun's view, with Chu Zhongtian's current prestige and influence, as long as it is his decision, whether it is right or wrong, except for the eldest elder, no one will dare to question him in person.

However, what he never expected was that the first person to stand up and oppose was the third elder whom he always valued very much. This made him look at the third elder with anger.

Facing Chu Tianyun's angry gaze, the third elder seemed to have not noticed it at all, and nodded to Chu Tianyun with a gentle smile on his face.

"Xiaotian, whether you recommend Zhongba as the new leader or let Yuping take over the position of clan leader, it shows that you have been training the younger generation of children, but you also need to train the younger generation of children specially."

"Because in terms of strength, knowledge, experience, and the value of previous training, the younger generation is far stronger than the younger generation." Seeing the third elder take the initiative to stand up and oppose, the second elder, who seemed to have gained inexplicable courage, stood up immediately and not only directly opposed Chu Zhongba's suitability to be the new leader of Chu.

At the same time, he also began to recommend his own ideal candidate.

With both hands clasped together, the second elder gestured to all the elders present, and said with a smile on his face: "It is said that when selecting talents, one should not avoid relatives, and when selecting relatives, one should not avoid suspicion!"

"My son Chu Hongwei, whether in terms of cultivation talent, martial arts qualifications, or rich knowledge, is very suitable to be the new head of Chu State, so I implore the young clan leader, the third uncle, the elder, and all my colleagues to carefully consider my opinion!"

Seeing that the second elder not only opposed his son to be the head of state, but even directly recommended his own son, Chu Tianyun was angry and felt endless regret in his heart.

If he had known that the second elder was such a person who would turn his face and fight for benefits, why would he risk offending Chu Zhongtian and release his son privately? So that he had to swallow the consequences of his own creation.

The second elder was brave enough to recommend his son. Chu Zhongtian not only did not directly refuse, but also did not seem to be very angry. This made the elders of the inner clan at the scene seem to see some kind of signal. They all stood up to oppose Chu Zhongba's decision to become the head of the country, and they all strongly recommended their sons, or the young and young generation of children they liked.

Only Chu Fan and the tenth elder did not participate in the discussion of the new head of the country.

Chu Fan did not participate in the discussion because he knew Chu Zhongtian's character too well. Since he bluntly pointed out that Chu Zhongba would be the head of the country, he must have thought it through carefully.

According to his personality, unless the elder spoke out against it. Otherwise, no one at the scene could change his mind.

Since he could not win any benefits and could not change Chu Zhongtian's decision, why should he take the risk to provoke Chu Zhongtian's unhappiness!

The tenth elder did not participate in the discussion, not because he did not want to participate. Because although his son Chu Zhenpeng was not as good as Chu Zhongba and Chu Yuping, he was also a figure of the younger generation of the Chu family.

Chu Zhongtian was able to recommend Chu Zhongba to take the high and powerful position of the Nine Five Supremes, so with his support for him at the beginning, why didn't his son have this opportunity!

Fortunately, Chu Zhenpeng, who knows his father better than his son, immediately stopped him with his eyes when he found out that his father had this idea, and made him give up the idea of ​​fighting for it.

Seeing that the people who opposed his son to become the head of the country were the second elder, the third elder, the fourth elder, the sixth elder, the eleventh elder, the twelfth elder and the thirteenth elder who were regarded as his own people and could fight for power with him.

And the eighth elder and the tenth elder who had always opposed him silently supported Chu Zhongba to become the head of the country. Chu Tianyun did not have a trace of anger in his heart at this time, but only regret, regretting his short-sightedness in being and looking at people.

Just now, the performance of the ten elders of the inner clan fighting desperately for the position of the head of the country, Chu Tianyun finally understood what Chu Zhongtian said, that he was not old in age, but in mentality. Not only could he not see the trend discovered by the family, but also made fatal mistakes in employing people.

At this moment, he had given up the idea of ​​making a fourth request to Chu Zhongtian. He just hoped that Chu Zhongtian could stick to his decision and let Chu Zhongba take the position of the head of the country smoothly. Then, like the eight great elders who left the meeting hall, he would no longer interfere in any family affairs.

"Third Grandfather, except for the old clan leader, the eighth uncle and the tenth uncle, I just proposed that I don't know what you think!" Seeing Chu Zhengxuan who had not expressed any opinion, Chu Zhongtian directly asked by name.

Compared with the head of a clan and the head of a country, which position is more important, anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance. Therefore, Chu Zhongtian knew that some people would oppose Chu Zhongba's appointment as the first head of Chu State, but what he did not expect was that the number of people who opposed was so large and the opposition was so intense.

I underestimated the ambitions of the elders who held real power in the clan. Just now, I was able to forcefully approve the appointment of Chu Yuping as the clan leader. The reason why these elders did not object was only partly due to my strength and deterrence. The real reason why they gave up their opposition was that they set their sights on the more powerful and higher position of the state leader.

It seems that if I want to force Chu Zhongba to the position of the state leader, I still need to win over Chu Zhengxuan, the strongest man in the family, and the elder with the most prestige and popularity. Only with the consent and support of these two people can he successfully send Chu Zhongba to the position of the state leader.

Otherwise, even if I use my strong strength and bloody suppression to force Chu Zhongba to that position, it will definitely cause everyone to be dissatisfied.

When I leave the family, those elders who are unwilling to accept it will definitely unite and take advantage of my absence to directly launch a coup.

Facing the throne of the Nine Five Supremes, the family will definitely have bloody conflicts and even be in danger of extinction.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian must ensure that Chu Zhongba can control the situation after he leaves the Chu family.
