Xue Yun and Hu Kui were slightly stunned.
But he saw Dongfang Qi, who was not far across the way, with a sneer on his face and kept nodding his head.
"City Lord Sima, don't worry yet..."
He took a sip of tea.
Xue Yun smiled slightly and said softly: "Although this alliance leader's position is in name only, he still nominally has certain power to dispatch the troops and resources of major fortress cities."
Put down the teacup.
Looking deeply at Sima Nanqin, Xue Yun said meaningfully: "So, between a smart and capable ruthless character and a stupid and greedy fool, which one do you think is easier to be manipulated?"
Hear the words.
Sima Nanqin couldn't help but his eyes lit up. After scanning around the people present, he made a decision immediately.
As for Xue Yun, he nodded towards Hu Kui.
The latter understood the idea and picked up a pen to write Dongfang Qi's name on the ballot.
After a short statistics.
In front of all the princes and city lords, Gongsun Youhai finally announced the results of the vote.
no doubt--
Dongfang Qi from Rabbit City became the final winner with an absolute advantage of five votes.
What is unexpected is that Longdu also received two votes.
Xue Yun drooped his eyelids.
He was wondering which two guys were trying to trick him, but when he saw Lin Ganglie next to him smiling from ear to ear, he immediately guessed that this guy must have voted for him.
As for the other vote, it is most likely the masterpiece of Gongsun Youhai.
Secretly sweating.
Seeing Dongfang Qi's excited expression, Xue Yun actually had the illusion of surviving the disaster.
In such a simple voting process, we saw the alliances, overt and covert struggles between the major city lords and princes in Great Xia.
Such disunity.
It may not be as easy as imagined to deal with the powerful Xuanyuan royal family with the same hatred.
"The overall situation has been decided."
Cleared his throat.
Gongsun Youhai shrugged his shoulders and announced: "According to the voting results, the leader of the Eleventh Lords Alliance this time will be the Dongfang City Lord of Rabbit City!"
There was a pause.
Gongsun Youhai took the opportunity to pick up the tea cup, observed the expressions of everyone present, and said with a hypocritical smile: "I hope the Lord of Dongfang City can lead us to fight against the tyranny of the royal family and create a better future together!"
Although the words were beautifully said, no one in the audience responded at all.
The white-haired Luo Qingyang gritted his teeth and wished he could lift the table and leave on the spot.
As for Duguhan, who always had a cold personality, he was drinking tea by himself.
The cold light in his pupils flickered.
He seemed to be thinking about how to assassinate this bastard Dongfang Qi silently.
"Ahem, City Lord Gongsun, don't say this nonsense."
He coughed twice.
Lin Ganglie, whose face was full of anger, suddenly raised his hand and interrupted forcefully: "We, this group of people, have been ministers of the Great Xia Empire for generations. We are not gathering together to overthrow the royal rule of the Great Xia Empire."
There was a pause.
Lin Ganglie continued: "It is obvious that the treacherous ministers around your Majesty are in power and have created a smoky atmosphere in the court. This has led to the instability of the country in Daxia and the suffering of the people..."
A look of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
The "Pig King" in front of him grinned and said resolutely: "We are here to bring order to the chaos, for the little emperor... ah no, for your majesty, to eradicate those treacherous ministers who are causing harm to the country and the people!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone immediately froze on the spot.
Those present here are all separatist leaders who have been in high positions for a long time, and they actually know the reason behind this.
Even if you really want to rebel, you can't say it openly. Otherwise, you are likely to be criticized by people in the world, which will add endless trouble to yourself.
This world is very realistic, and interests are the most fundamental underlying logic.
But the problem is.
Facing the vast majority of mediocre people, morality and legal principles are a fig leaf that we have to think about.
Only if you have a good reputation as a teacher can you be foolproof!
"Forced to stay..."
He raised his eyebrows.
Xue Yun couldn't help but mused: "Hold high the flag of righteousness and keep your Majesty on your side."
Hit the nail on the head.
The eyes of all the princes and city lords lit up, and they all showed understanding smiles.
"Yes, well said!"
He slammed the table.
Dongfang Qi, who was proud of the spring breeze, stood up suddenly, puffed up his chest, and shouted impassionedly: "We just want to rectify the king's side for the people of the world, and we are definitely not rebelling for personal gain!"
The ideas are clear and the concepts are unified.
With this excuse and statement of seemingly serving the country and the people, the lords of the eleven princes and cities can legitimately compete with the royal family.
In most people's minds, if the Xuanyuan clan's rule could be overthrown and the power structure reshuffled, everyone would be happy.
But achieving this step is not easy.
If they can't kill them all, at least they can still have room for bargaining, and they won't go all the way to the dark side knowing that it's a dead end.
Regarding this point, all the city lords and princes have no objections, and everyone's opinions can be said to be highly unified.
Ever since.
With the support of Gongsun Youhai of Snake City, the Alliance of Princes of the Great Xia Empire was officially established.
The city lords present immediately signed the alliance agreement, and within a short period of time, they quickly wrote a formal statement about the uprising.
This eloquent and over 10,000-word statement can be described as full of emotion and emotion. It mainly explains the living conditions of major fortress cities in the past few years, as well as the miserable situation of the people in the cities.
The final conclusion is -
If you don't choose to resist, people will die, and many people will die...
But all the princes and city lords were still loyal to Daxia. What they rebelled against was not the royal family, let alone the country itself, but those treacherous ministers who deceived the public with their lies in the court.
All in all, everything is for the common people in the world and has nothing to do with personal interests, honor or disgrace.
With Dongfang Qi’s admiration——
This 10,000-word memorandum began to be distributed throughout the Great Xia Empire through the Internet and various channels.
From the emperor's relatives to the common people.
However, all the people of the Daxia Empire can fully read the content of this statement at this moment.
It is from this moment on.
The forces of the eleven fortress cities have officially declared war with the Imperial City of Great Xia, which is tantamount to completely breaking their skin.
same moment.
Located in the imperial palace of the imperial city Hudu.
The grown-up Xuanyuan Hong sat in front of the desk, looking at the latest memorial in his hand, his whole body trembling silently with anger.
"Hold the flag of righteousness high... Qingjun side?!"
He threw the memorial to the ground hard.
Xuanyuan Hong, who was wearing a red dragon robe, was furious and shouted angrily: "This group of rebellious officials and traitors are so unreasonable. I will never let any of them go!"
