Chapter 309
Joshua, Bartreet, Joyce, and Daliang had already made an agreement. As long as the three of them did not insist on rescuing Howard, he could successfully obtain the support of all the city lords and important ministers and successfully inherit the throne.
Joshua looked at Daliang, and Daliang looked at Joyce.
Now it's just a matter of Joyce and Bartlett's opinion.
If Howard could be saved, they would definitely do their best to save him at all costs. If Howard was in the hands of the fallen angel, even if he allowed the army of hell to enter Shangjiang City in exchange for them to release Howard, they would agree.
However, Howard was robbed by Angela.
Joyce and Bartlett had a problem, what should they do if they supported Joshua as king and Angela put Howard back?
Joyce was trapped in a struggle of thought, and Bartret, who led the Angel Guard to guard the surroundings, was also in a dilemma.
But at this time, Abigail, who was deliberately ignored by Joshua, said: "I am more worried than any of you in the disappearance of Howard. But as the city lords said, according to the current situation in Shangjiang City, whether external or internal, we need a king to unite people's hearts. I agree to choose a new king to lead us."
The elves have a natural resistance to the black elves. Just now, Joshua had no idea of asking for Abigail's opinion. Although Abigail supported the election of the new king this time, Joshua still said dissatisfiedly: "Marquis Abigail, please pay attention to your words. Now the King of East China Sea is still our Majesty. Your name is detrimental to your noble status."
Who would have thought Abigail stood up directly: "Joshua, I know you have been coveting the throne of King Kong for a long time. You wouldn't think that if you encourage a few city lords to support you, you can inherit the throne? If the royal family really has no direct descendants, you do have the opportunity to become king with the support of most city lords. But if Howard has children, he is the real successor to the throne."
Joshua said: "All His Majesty's relatives were killed by William, and none of them were spared. Since then, His Majesty was busy with political affairs and had not yet had a big marriage, so there is no direct royal member in Shangjiang now who can inherit the throne. Marquis Abigail, you would not bring a child to say that he was his Majesty's descendants, right? Is it not... it's not your final say. Angels loyal to the royal family can easily identify the authenticity of the royal blood."
Abigail smiled and said, "Of course I know that royal blood cannot be faked, and I am very glad that the royal angels can distinguish the authenticity of royal blood. Dear adults, Howard has a descendant built. If we need a new king, should there be someone with real inheritance rights to serve?"
Joshua frowned and said, "This is impossible. Your Majesty told me personally that his children were dead."
Abigail said: "That's because Howard has a child he doesn't know. I wanted to surprise him, but I encountered such a thing."
If Joshua didn't know what Abigail was talking about now, he wouldn't deserve to be an elf who almost brought a crown. Joshua stared at Abigail's abdomen and he could feel a life growing inside.
"You said the child in your belly belongs to His Majesty?"
Abigail shook his lower abdomen: "Yes, the child is Howard's, the only descendant of the royal family. Therefore, you don't need to bother to choose any king, because except for my children, anyone who dares to call the king is a plot to usurp the throne."
The entire conference room suddenly became quiet.
Daliang didn't expect that things would change so dramatically. He finally understood why Abigail threw a "smelling look" at him before the meeting began. It turned out that she had Howard's child, and it was a rare item, but Songjiang City was alone. He wanted his brother to support her!
By the way, when Howard brought Abigail to him? This guy looked upright, but he didn't expect that he was also an old driver.
And what is your identity now?
Howard is the King of East China Sea. If Abigail succeeds in taking office, his mother will be noble by his son. How can this mistress be able to dominate the country from behind the curtain?
Monica is Abigail's daughter, this is the princess!
What's wrong with me? Let's go back and coax Monica to remarry. By then, I will be the prince consort.
Hahahahaha...
To uphold, you must support Abigail. Joshua is full of wings. If he goes to power, he will definitely suppress the human race first, especially Joyce, the old human ministers who are loyal to Howard. Brother has snatched Joshua's mine and ruined Joshua's affairs. This old elf is very cunning and is harmonious with Brother on the surface. If he goes to power, he may put some small shoes on Brother.
Supporting Abigail has many benefits. Her black elves in Songjiang City are new strengths, and they are not as powerful as Joshua's power. If you want to gain a foothold in Shangjiang City, you must rely on the support of the non-Joshua team. Are they not the non-Joshua team, or aren't it Copy, Stanley, Joyce and Bartlett?
Abigail is pregnant with Howard's child, and Bartret's Angel Guard should support her. Marquis Stanley listens to Brother, and Brother can influence Joyce's decision. No wonder Abigail is anxious to catch up with Brother's relatives, sending soldiers and money.
Daliang stood up and broke the silence of the conference room: "If the child in the belly of the mistress Abigail belongs to His Majesty, he is the descendant of the royal family. If we cannot save His Majesty and need to support a new king, as the direct earl of the royal family, I hope that the royal bloodline I have allegiance to be on the throne."
Marquis Stanley then stood up and said, "Jiading City is willing to support the royal bloodline as the new king of Shangjiang City."
When Abigail said that the child in his belly was Howard, Bartlett focused on experiencing his involvement with the royal bloodline, and then said: "The guardian angels of Shangjiang City are willing to continue to be loyal to the royal bloodline."
Joyce also stood up at Daliang's gesture: "Since Lord Batrite confirmed that the child in Marquis Abigail's belly was His Majesty's descendant, then he is the only legal heir in Shangjiang City."
The sudden change made the four lords of Baoshan City, Fengxian City, Nanhui City and Qingpu City look at Joshua.
Although they have five cities, their strength has long been different from the past. The Shuntong Chamber of Commerce established by Jiading City and Shangjiang City has begun to quickly accumulate wealth for these two cities, and convenient transportation allows merchant ships docking in and out quickly.
However, the economy of Chongming City is declining sharply.
Joshua really didn't expect that it was so difficult to become king. His butt had already rubbed against the throne, but he was pulled down by an unborn child.
But Joshua had no choice but to be recognized by half of the forces of Shangjiang, represented by Bartreet, Joyce, Daliang and Marquis Stanley, that even an illegitimate son who had no status could become the orthodox of the royal family.
If Joshua doesn't want to start a war, he can only pinch his nose and admit his bad luck.
Joshua said, "I don't know which is more important, the fate of a city or the orthodox of a throne, but since you insist on giving the throne to a child who has not yet been born, it is to send the city on a path full of shadows. It may be prosperity or destruction.
I will support your decision and support the orthodoxy of the royal family.
But I will resign from the position of former Prime Minister. It is a serious dereliction of duty for me to fail to protect His Majesty.
I feel a little uncomfortable. Do you have any resolutions? Can you send someone to Chongming City to tell me if you have any questions?
Say goodbye."
Joshua stood up and walked out of the conference room.
Abigail sat in the main seat: "The Duke of Joshua resigned from his post as the Imperial Prime Minister. Before our new king was born and adult, someone would need to preside over the government affairs of Shangjiang City. I suggest that I be in charge of Shangjiang as a queen."
At this time, the city lords and officials had not yet reacted from such a major political change.
Daliang said, "Miss Abigail. Whoever becomes the queen is a private matter of the royal family. We can support the king, but we cannot support the queen. If you want to be the queen, you need your Majesty to hold a wedding with you. Or you may enthrone you when the new king becomes an adult.
