Thanks to my old friend Haotian Riyue for his rewards and recommendation votes! Thanks!
————The above does not count the number of words————
"The eldest prince?"
"Your Highness!"
"King Chen——"
It was like a thunder exploded in the crowd, and countless people exclaimed, some were shocked, some were confused, and most of them were surprised.
"Qin Yuanyong?" A trace of surprise flashed across Qin's face: "Why are you here?"
"Old Ancestor——" Qin Yuanyong cried with tears in his eyes: "My child, I almost lost my sight of you, wuwu——"
"What's going on?" Qin Xiongyi asked in a deep voice: "How did you get in? Why didn't you contact me directly?"
"Well," Qin Yuanyong showed some hesitation and said, "To be honest, the child was seriously injured in Hengji Mountain. He recovered from the injury not long ago. He was about to come back for a visit, and then he heard that the fifth brother was appointed as the crown prince. The child was frightened for a moment and didn't know how to meet the ancestor, so he delayed it until now. Please, please forgive me, ancestor!"
"Confused!" Qin Xiongyi shouted, but he was even more confused: "Which country's delegation did you come in with today?"
Qin Yuanyong suddenly didn't hear it, and his cry became louder: "Ancestor, we all know Lao Wu. He has mediocre qualifications, weak character, and has no prestige in the clan. How can such a person be the leader of our Great Qin Dynasty? Lord? My child, my child is dissatisfied!"
"Ancestor, I licked my face and begged, please leave the position of emperor to me. I swear, I will live up to the expectations of my ancestors, work conscientiously, and work hard to govern, so that the people of our Qin Dynasty can live in peace, and the monks can live in peace and contentment..."
"Ancestor, no, the Supreme Emperor, please give me your permission!"
After Qin Yuanyong finished speaking, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed heavily several times.
In the Qin State, True Lord Yuanying is not only the Supreme Patriarch in the monks' mouth, but also the Supreme Emperor respected by hundreds of millions of people.
Qin Xiongyi's eyes showed a bit of pity, and he shook his head and said: "It's too late, Yuan Yong, you came too late! If you had come to me two days earlier, even if it was yesterday, I would have supported you to become the emperor. But you It didn’t appear until now. Now that the envoys from various countries have gathered here, Zhaoyuan’s identity as emperor has been announced to the world, so you don’t have to have extravagant hopes, just be your King Chen!"
"No -" Qin Yuanyong argued: "The officials have not yet knelt down and kowtowed, and he has not yet obtained the title of Qin Zhaoyuan. Why can't I fight for it? Among the children of the royal family, I rank first, have the highest cultivation level, and have passed the ancestral exam." The test of the land. How could he, the fifth one, be so virtuous and dare to sit in that position? Could it be that this is the result of my life and death in my ancestral land?"
Speaking of life and death in the ancestral land, all the officials and monks who participated in the Hengji Mountain worship ceremony three months ago and experienced the accident were interested. Even Qin Xiongyi couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Yuan Yong, what exactly happened in the ancestral land that day? Well, if there is any inconvenience, you can tell me after the ceremony."
"There is nothing that cannot be said in public!" Qin Yuanyong stood up suddenly, pointed at several men in khaki clothes in the mission, and stared angrily: "Ancestor, the changes in the ancestral land are all caused by the Daye Kingdom! They sent several men The famous Jindan secretly sneaked into the ancestral land and stole the formations of the ancestral land. While we were practicing, he suddenly launched an attack. First of all, the late emperor was poisoned on the spot, with no bones left. He died so miserably——"
While sobbing, he continued: "There were also two imperial brothers who were also killed one after another, and they died with their eyes open!"
"Absolutely, absolutely nothing like this!" The envoy of Daye Kingdom was just a shaman cultivator in the late Zifu period. Faced with the accusation from Master Jindan, he couldn't help but turn pale and argued tremblingly:
"You are bloody and spitting blood, but do you have evidence?"
"Evidence? Humph, this is the evidence!" Qin Yuanyong snorted, waved his hand, and something fell heavily to the ground.
This is a corpse.
He has two beards on his mouth and has a vulgar appearance, looking like a middle-aged man.
He was wearing an earthy yellow robe, exactly the same color as the clothes worn by the Daye Kingdom's envoy.
There was a long crack in the middle of the body, running from top to bottom. If it weren't for a needle and thread to sew it up, it would actually be in two parts.
"High Priest!" The envoy of Daye Kingdom exclaimed in surprise!
There was an uproar in the hall.
"Hehe, you also know that this is your high priest, Ju Mu Xuanxiao!" Qin Yuanyong sneered.
That was when Jing Jing realized that he had said the wrong thing. However, as a close confidant of the leader of the Daye Kingdom, he knew the inside story clearly. He calmed down and asked: "May I ask His Highness King Chen, what is the ancestral land you mentioned?" When did the change happen?"
"Three months ago." Qin Yuanyong said without hesitation.
"Okay!" The envoy beamed with joy, shook his head and said: "The high priest of my country disappeared four months ago, and the soul lamp showed that he had died. May I ask, Your Highness, who died a month ago? How can people come all the way to Hengji Mountain in your country and still participate in a sneak attack?"
"You said he died four months ago, who can prove it?" Qin Yuanyong sneered: "In our jade world, there are many ways to test the time of death of a corpse. In this case, why not find two middlemen to do it for you? How about I check it out?"
"Okay!" Zhengshi said through gritted teeth. But I felt a little uneasy in my heart. Qin Yuanyong said so categorically. Could there be something else going on here?
At that time, Zhou State, Liang State, and Fu State each sent a monk to inject a few spiritual lights into the body of the high priest, then nodded and said in unison:
"The time of this person's death must have been three months ago, with a difference of no more than five days."
"How is that possible?" Daye Guozheng's expression changed drastically!
Suddenly, he seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw and shouted: "Even if it was three months ago, how can we prove that he died in your ancestral land of Qin?"
"Haha," Qin Yuanyong became even more proud, pointing at the body of Ju Mu Xuanxiao and said: "This man died from Qin Mingyue's [Brilliant Sword]! Ancestor, tell me, is this man's death a result of the Brilliant Sword?" Wounded by a sword?"
Qin Xiongyi nodded expressionlessly: "It is indeed Qin Mingyue's unique move."
Then he asked: "Yuan Yong, where is Qin Mingyue? She shouldn't be dead either. Aren't you together?"
"I don't know where the eldest princess has gone," Qin Yuanyong said: "In addition to the high priest, there were two Jindan who attacked us at that time. The late emperor and his two younger brothers were attacked and died, and the eldest princess tried her best to He was injured and killed the high priest with the Brilliant Sword. Then, the ancestral land formation broke apart and large turbulence appeared in the space. The child was involved in the turbulence and only then escaped with his life."
"Where are you these days?"
"The child was carried by the turbulent current to an unknown valley in the Million Mountains. At that time, I was seriously injured and could not walk. I rested in the valley for more than two months, and then my injuries completely recovered, and then I came here."
After Qin Yuanyong finished explaining, he turned to face the Daye Kingdom envoy without waiting for his ancestor's response:
"Those two golden elixirs had their faces covered at the time. However, since there is your high priest among them, the other two must have something to do with the Daye Kingdom! Go back and tell your master that if our Qin Kingdom suffered this disaster, we will never do anything about it. I will give up and give up! I will seek justice from your Daye Kingdom in the future!"
"Get out! Get out of our Qin country right away. Don't let me see you again. Go back and report your death to your master. Get out!"
The voice and look were both stern.
The envoy of Daye Kingdom had a pale face and was trembling all over, unable to say a word.
With the support of his subordinates, he stumbled out of Tai Chi Hall.
The envoys from other countries were talking a lot. It was not until the envoy from Daye completely disappeared that the chatter gradually subsided.
At this time, Qin Yuanyong was already greeting everyone with a cheerful face:
"Yan Shangshu, how is your old man's health? Your seventh child has performed well in the Hengwu Army! Tell him, don't forget to practice! As long as he breaks through to the late Zifu, I will promote him to the rank of general!"
Yan Cheng's eyebrows flashed with joy. This seventh child is one of his most favored and valued juniors, and his qualifications are also outstanding. If he can be appreciated by His Highness, his future will be bright.
However, he was experienced in the world, and when he saw the Taishang Ancestor was calm and silent, he just cupped his hands and smiled slightly.
Qin Yuanyong turned to look at Qin Yuanlang:
"Hey, Fourth Brother, this outfit of yours belongs to Zong Zheng of the clan? Well, we have to keep an eye on our treasury, don't be like the Second Brother, who is careless!"
Qin Yuanlang was angry in his heart, but facing the powerful eldest prince, he could only obey and did not dare to refute.
"Zhao Huan," Qin Yuanyong pointed with a smile: "You are in charge of Fangzhou, so you have to keep an eye on me! Also, over in Quzhou, if Xiaojiu asks you for help, you can Take action in time, don’t take advantage of those monsters, do you understand?”
"Yes!" Qin Zhaohuan obeyed the order sternly. He has always been the eldest prince's subordinate, and his current level of golden elixir cultivation is inseparable from the prince's vigorous cultivation.
Qin Yuanyong has been in charge of the Qin army for more than two hundred years. He has a deep foundation and is widely respected. On the high platform, most of the monks had experience in the army, and they all said hello to the old master.
This is a huge force that cannot be ignored.
Qin Xiongyi looked on coldly and shouted: "Okay."
The sound was not loud, but the hall immediately fell silent.
"Yuan Yong..." As soon as he spoke, he saw a large group of people kneeling behind him:
"Ancestor, Your Highness has extraordinary talents, superb cultivation, benevolence and generosity, and has the air of an elder. We are begging with tears and blood, please ask the Supreme Emperor to make the eldest prince the king of our Qin country!"
After saying this, he kept kowtowing.
In the main hall, among the black and red robes, dozens, hundreds, and then thousands of people knelt down and said in unison:
"I beg the Supreme Emperor to make the eldest prince the king of our Qin country instead!"
Qin Xiongyi's face was ashen, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
In fact, he did not object to the eldest prince ascending the throne as emperor, but it was definitely not like today, forcing him to express his position in a way that was close to forcing the palace.
This is a contempt for his supreme dignity.
"Your Majesty," Yan Chugong cupped his hands: "The eldest prince's safe return today is a great joy for our country of Qin. Why don't today's enthronement ceremony be postponed for a few days?"
Qin Xiongyi thought that this was indeed a good idea.
"Since you all have other candidates, today's enthronement ceremony is cancelled, and will be rescheduled for another day!" He shouted flatly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Qin State had no objections, but the envoy's side suddenly exploded.
"Senior," Hong Zhengli said loudly: "I have traveled thousands of miles to come to witness the enthronement of your emperor. The time and agenda have been set. How can it be like child's play and just change at the drop of a hat? If this is the case, in the future Qin will If the country has another emperor ascending the throne, we will never be allowed to participate again!"
"That's right!" Zhao Shuangying followed suit: "You Qin royal family members are all here, aren't you just trying to choose an emperor? Why push back and forth and use our mission to attack? Hurry up and make a decision so that we can finish watching the ceremony soon. go back!"
"Yes, yes," the envoy of Fu State also shouted: "It's not a matter of choosing who to choose. The worst thing you can do is lay out the pros and cons of some joints and explain them clearly!"
These words hit Qin Xiongyi's mind exactly. Even if he wants to establish Qin Yuanyong as emperor, the large number of interest exchanges and power structures involved need to be clearly explained to the other party one by one.
At this moment, Qin Yuanyong, as if he was blessed, immediately knelt down in front of Qin Xiongyi and said loudly: "Ancestor, even if I become the emperor, I will be willing to follow your lead and obey my ancestor's instructions in all future affairs. "
This is a naked expression of loyalty.
Qin Xiongyi closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be deep in thought. After a long time, he finally nodded.
"Okay! According to your wishes, I will make the eldest prince Qin Yuanyong the emperor of the Qin Dynasty! Fifth, I have wronged you today, so you can take over your eldest brother's place and become King Chen. From now on, you will be in charge of the military affairs of the country!"
"I obey the decree!" Qin Zhaoyuan did not dare to disobey, and accepted the new appointment with half joy and half worry.
"My child takes orders!" Qin Yuanyong clasped his fists, but was extremely dissatisfied.
The ancestor's move was undoubtedly digging into his foundation, but he had just expressed his loyalty, so how could he object in words?
Moreover, he must fight for this throne, otherwise, he may not be able to save his life!
Qin Xiongyi nodded slightly, and the shame and anger of being forced into the palace finally subsided.
In the main hall, cheers came and went: "Long live the eldest prince, long live, long live!"
Qin Yuanyong looked around, his face beaming with joy.
Suddenly, his expression suddenly changed!
Within a few breaths, his expression changed several times, including anger, resentment, struggle...
"Everyone, I have something to say!" He suddenly shouted loudly.
The hall was quiet again.
"Everyone," Qin Yuanyong said loudly: "Our Great Qin has established an ancestral precept since the founding of the country by the first emperor Zheng. Only those who have inherited the blood jade in the ancestral land can be established as the crown prince and then ascend the throne as the emperor."
"Three months ago, the ancestral land was opened, and the one who obtained the blood jade was the eldest princess Qin Mingyue!"
"I, Qin Yuanyong, am mediocre in intelligence and achieved nothing during my travels to my ancestral land! This position of emperor is actually beyond my ability to steal."
"I have just received news that the eldest princess is among us. In this case, I am willing to give up this throne to its true owner, the eldest princess!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman walked out of the delegation's team with her head held high.
Dressed in a fiery red dress, her appearance is stunning!
The red light shines brightly on the body, and a red light keeps shining between the eyebrows, which is the sign of refining the blood jade!
Qin Mingyue!
