Chapter seven hundred and seventy seventh the ownership of the throne
In the palace, Ji Xuanyuan and others had already arrived, while the princes secretly glanced at the dragon chair in the middle, with a hint of desire and greed in their eyes.
If you are born into a royal family, you are destined to fight and rob.
If the prince had not been deposed before, and the strength of King Ji Yancheng and others were still there, then they would not have such thoughts at all, and would only be idle princes trying to protect themselves.
But now that God has given them such an opportunity, who doesn’t want to fight for it?
The King of Shu, Ji Yanxiu, was also among them, but his performance was very low-key, standing here alone and silent.
In fact, he now also knows that whether he and others can become the emperor is entirely in the hands of Ji Xuanyuan and others.
They used to be idle princes who were entrusted to various circles in the Zhou Dynasty, and they had little prestige and confidence.
If the prince and others had not been deposed, it is estimated that Ji Xuanyuan and others would have chosen them directly, and it would not have been their turn anyway.
So now it's useless no matter how hard they dance, they should just keep a low profile and wait for the result.
In fact, Ji Yanxiu was a little unwilling. He did not expect that Ji Haodian would leave so suddenly, without even naming a successor.
He had been running a force in Bashu Road for such a long time, just to prepare for a fight in Shengjing City, and even roped in Su Xin, one of the Four Great Gods, but now it was useless, which made him a little depressed.
When Ji Xuanyuan saw that everyone had gathered, he coughed and said: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, so today I am waiting to announce the ownership of the throne."
The princes present immediately cheered up, and Ji Xuanyuan continued: "His Majesty left too hastily, so he did not leave any last words, and the prince was deposed before, so the throne still has to be chosen from among the princes.
It's just that as ministers, we are not actually qualified to designate someone to inherit the throne. That would be inconsistent with etiquette, so you still have to fight for the throne yourself."
With that said, Ji Xuanyuan directly took out thirteen tokens and handed them to every prince present, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you all have your own power, and you even have your own allies in the world.
So this time we discussed and decided to give you an opportunity to show your own methods and strength.
You have one month. Whoever can grab the most tokens from the other party within one month can become the crown prince. According to the etiquette, the crown prince can ascend the throne one month after the founding of the country.
However, please note that all princes, you can join forces with people in the world, but you cannot betray the interests of Zhou Dynasty, and you cannot imitate those people who are cheating on others in the sect's mansion."
The expressions of many princes present suddenly perked up. Of course they would not imitate those fools who sold themselves for the throne. Except for the weak ones among these princes, everyone else had their own power and connections.
Now that Ji Xuanyuan allows them to take action, these people are all qualified to fight.
Ji Xuanyuan coughed at this time and said: "While the princes are fighting for each other, all Yang Shen realm warriors in Great Zhou will not interfere.
There are some problems with the Dragon Vein, so the entire Great Zhou Dynasty’s Zhenwu Realm and Yangshen Realm strongmen need to work together to repair it. Therefore, when the princes take action in Shengjing City, even if they have the power of the Yangshen Realm in their hands, they cannot use it.
.”
After the death of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was indeed something wrong with Dragon Vein. The formation masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty all believed that a large number of strong men were needed to suppress it. However, it was enough for those strong men in the True Martial Realm to take action. Ji Xuanyuan
The purpose of waiting for the beings in the Yangshen Realm to stay in seclusion together is to limit the scale of these battles for the throne. After all, this is Shengjing City, and it would not be good if things get too big.
In fact, from Su Xin's point of view, Ji Xuanyuan's behavior was nothing more than taking off his pants and farting.
At present, the prestige of these princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty is basically zero. To put it bluntly, if it were not for their blood, any of the royal family named Ji who could be randomly selected to inherit the throne would be stronger than them.
The reason why Ji Xuanyuan and others don't want to make the decision to choose an emperor is actually very simple. They just don't want to cause trouble.
After all, nominally speaking, they are just ministers, and all ministers are qualified to choose the emperor. This kind of thing is easy to say or not.
Moreover, people's thoughts will also change as their status changes.
If Ji Xuanyuan and others choose a prince to succeed him and ascend the throne today, there will be no problem on the surface. The selected prince will even be grateful to Ji Xuanyuan and others, but when he truly secures the throne, there is no guarantee that he will
It will give rise to different thoughts.
If you can support me to the throne today, will you be able to support others to the throne in the future?
This kind of thing is very likely to happen. When the time comes, the prince who is promoted to the throne will feel very uncomfortable even if he is not afraid.
So after Ji Xuanyuan and the others discussed it, they simply ignored it and let them cause trouble in Shengjing City for a month to see what their abilities were.
Except for the warriors in the Yangshen Realm who cannot take action, you can bring in as much power as you can from the other existences in the Fusion of God Realm and the Transformation of God Realm. Ji Xuanyuan and the others will not care at all, as long as they do not do anything that will endanger the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Just do it.
Ji Xuanyuan's words immediately lifted the spirits of many princes present. As long as Ji Xuanyuan gives them this opportunity, these people will definitely dare to fight!
After the matter was said, everyone dispersed directly. Su Xin was about to return to the Six Gates of Shengjing City, but at this time Ji Yanxiu followed Su Xin directly and whispered: "Master Su, don't forget our original agreement. Now
But this is when I want to use you, Mr. Su!"
Su Xin shook his head and said: "It's not the right time yet, Your Highness, King of Shu. It's not going to do you any good if I show up so early."
Ji Yanxiu frowned and said, "Why?"
Su Xin pointed at himself and said: "Because I am too strong."
Ji Yanxiu was stunned. What did Su Xin mean? He was bragging about himself?
Su Xin patiently explained to Ji Yanxiu: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, we won't talk about the power behind the other princes for now, but I can guarantee that even if they have the help of the Taoist Sect behind them, they will never dare to show it, or even
I will also try my best to clear the relationship with them.
King Changshan has made it very clear just now that the fight for the throne is a fight for the throne, but he must not do anything that would endanger the interests of the Zhou Dynasty.
In this way, even if they really have the support of a force like the Taoist Sect behind them, they would not dare to use it. Instead, they would try their best to distance themselves from the relationship.
And in this case, whether they use the power they have cultivated themselves or go to the world to find foreign aid, it can be said that their power is not as strong as the people under my command.
If I make a clear stand to help you, Your Highness, the only result will be that they join forces to get rid of you, the biggest threat, first.
With all due respect, if that time comes, I will definitely not join forces with all the princes to resist, and I don't have the strength.
When that time comes, Your Highness, King of Shu, you should obediently hand over the token in your hand and give up the fight for the throne."
Ji Yanxiu frowned and said, "In that case, Mr. Su, when are you going to take action?"
Su Xin said solemnly: "It's very simple. Now the thirteen princes are qualified to compete for the throne. I will not take action until more than half of these thirteen princes have been eliminated and the remaining ones are evenly matched."
Ji Yanxiu nodded helplessly. He also knew that what Su Xin said made sense, and that was all he could do now.
By the next day, the news that many princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty were vying for the throne had completely spread to the world. Some of them were even deliberately released by those princes, with the only purpose of recruiting allies in the world.
Naturally, forces at the level of the Creation Dao Sect would not be interested in the internal affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, after the last battle in Shengjing City, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were already wary of them. Even if they wanted to intervene, they would still be wary of them.
impossible.
Just because they don't intervene doesn't mean that other martial arts forces don't want to intervene.
The imperial court and Jianghu are not completely antagonistic existences. Some of the difficulties faced by some sects can be easily solved if they can join forces with the imperial court.
For example, at this time, in the Taihang Village of Henan Province, the strong men of Thirty-Six Swords Hall gathered together. The leader of the village, "Tian Xia Du Tou" Ke Yanyue, was sitting in the center, listening to a warrior dressed as a scribe below talking about the news from Shengjing City.
.
"The leader of the village, King Nalu Ji Yanchang specially sent someone to tell him that as long as our Taihang village can help him win the throne this time, he is willing to make our Taihang village a separate army, named 'Magic Sword'.
The Lord is the marching general manager of the Divine Sword Army."
Upon hearing this, a warrior sitting in the second seat with two swords hanging on his waist, about thirty years old, with a masculine face, but with a hint of evil in the corner of his mouth, sneered and said: "Fucking fart!
So what does King Lao Shizi Lu think of my Taihang Village? Is this a recruitment or a recruitment? Doesn't this mean that our Taihang Village is equivalent to surrendering to him, the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Besides, what does it mean that he only gave the village leader the position of marching general manager? The strongest marching general manager of the Great Wednesday Field Army and Forty-Nine Road is only in the Fusion of God Realm. Doesn't he mean that the village leader is only qualified to follow
Compare those warriors in the God-melting realm in Great Zhou?"
The warrior dressed as a scribe frowned and said: "Bu Qianlong, don't be so messy. The position of general of the Great Zhou Dynasty can command all the military formations of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Will the imperial court give such an important position to the leader of the village?
The position of the general manager of the march is actually just a reputation. We are not seeking refuge with the Zhou Dynasty, we are just following the instructions and not the propaganda.
Besides, the salary that Dazhou should give us will not be short of us at all. Isn’t it enough to exchange one reputation for so many things?"
Besides, our Taihang Village has not been easy to get along with over the years. It’s time to find a backer. At least the Great Zhou Dynasty is very good. If we can help King Lu Ji Yanchang ascend to the throne, it will be the merit of Conglong. Our Taihang Village can
