·On the seventeenth day of the winter lunar month, at the Tempered Stone Villa, evildoers gathered and Yama gathered.
At this moment, in Qiaoshi City, the most central area of Quenching Stone Village, a total of fourteen people were sitting in two rows, and there were three empty seats between them.
These fourteen people are excluding the seven living kings of hell who have died within a year, and the other seven masters who are either invited or uninvited, aspiring to this position, and these fourteen are fierce and evil. The momentum of that one makes one's hair stand on end and the bones rattling.
King Yama treated this gathering very carelessly and carelessly. In order to prevent some secrets from leaking out, he even sent away all his servants and prohibited anyone except these people from approaching Qiaoshi City.
This arrangement undoubtedly aroused dissatisfaction and suspicion among many people, but they could only wait for a suitable opportunity to raise objections - after all, the rhetoric provided to them by King Yama included "You also know that we have a special status." "This is also for everyone's safety."
As the host and organizer of this gathering, King Yama's language expression in the "opening speech" was obviously not as refined as the two major events in the world, but he cannot be blamed for this - the cultural level of the people in the green forest is generally Not high, even if the quality is slightly worse than the average martial arts in the martial arts world, even a leader with such a high status as King Yama would not be able to make up for his weaknesses on weekdays, and he would not be able to speak like a thief without any level. He is vulgar and unobtrusive, but it is really difficult for him to compete with the masters of the three religions in the art of speaking. The second is that the number of people attending the meeting is very small. Once there are fewer people, there is no need to say some forced words. Regardless of the purpose of the people who can sit here, at least one thing is very consistent and unabashed. of.
What is noteworthy are the three things he emphasized, which are also the ultimate goal of the conference.
The first thing is to "eliminate" one of the existing ten halls of Yama.
Some people may want to ask, does this bandit still engage in "wolf culture"? Isn't this nonsense? The original wolf culture took root and sprouted from the bandits.
Dead people naturally don't count. If you want to eliminate them, you can only leave it to the real King of Hell under the earth. Therefore, the last person to be eliminated is one of the seven living people - this is also the rule left by the Ten Palaces of Yama in the past dynasties, in order to prevent someone from lying on the credit book for too long, and to encourage more outstanding young people to devote themselves to To shine in this career with no future, you have to go through such a cruel but very realistic step every ten years.
The evidence for elimination is naturally based on the comprehensive consideration of the achievements of the leaders in the past ten years - in the end, it is voted by all the gods, and the person with the most votes can only swallow this bitter pill with regret.
Some people may ask, don’t these invited candidates have the right to vote? The answer is obviously no - the ambitions of these young young men who are like wolves and tigers are difficult to estimate and control. If these people collude to vote for the strongest leader and leave, a leader will be freed up for no reason. Coming to the hottest position and directly taking over a ready-made territory, do you recognize this result or not? People who have become Yamas rarely have such scruples - everyone's sphere of influence has been divided at the beginning of the establishment of the Ten Palaces of Yamas, and your position will not change if you eliminate others, and you will offend the most powerful ones. The stronger one really feels that the gain is not worth the loss, so why not just follow everyone and kick the weakest guy out, and continue to sit back and be happy?
Originally, the person who was eliminated this year was most likely Zheng Qulai. His performance after his father's death was really embarrassing, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to plan to remove Wei Kui to consolidate his position - to be honest Yes, if he really has the ability to capture Wei Kui, then he will definitely be qualified to occupy a seat based on his merits.
And now that Zheng Qulai has unfortunately died, the situation is naturally a bit delicate - there are two people on the edge of the cliff.
The Song Emperor Shi Ming and the Dai Bian City King Pu Mingxing were both poor people whose lives were hanging by a thread.
Let’s talk about the Emperor of the Song Dynasty first. He lived a cautious and careful life. He always flattered his superiors and was very kind to his subordinates. He was always very popular.
, but although he also has some thoughts about the city, his ability is really mediocre, so he has always looked like he has worked hard without any merit. Originally, he could have lived steadily for another ten years, and finally relied on his qualifications to become a Qin. He was a Guang Wang-like figure, but in just one year, three Yamas died one after another, especially Zheng Qulai, who was at the bottom, which suddenly made him fall into the abyss.
Let’s talk about Pu Xingxing, who came to represent his father. Logically speaking, in the green forest, it is rare for a son to take over the throne after his father dies. In the past few years, the changes in the ten palaces of Yama have only been broken by Zheng Ye. This is an example, so the person who discussed it should be his father, Bunong. In his life, Lao Pu was far more prosperous than the Song emperors. When he was young, he was one of the top three masters among the Ten Palaces of Yama. However, as time went by, his health became worse day by day. About five years ago, he suffered from some symptoms. He wanted to withdraw from the world and recuperate in peace. A year ago, he suffered a complete seizure and became incapacitated, so his second son took over the entire village and territory.
His son is quite remarkable. Pu Mingxing is five years younger than his eldest brother Pu Mingyue, but he is far superior to his elder brother in terms of intelligence, force and popularity. In the year when he has full authority to act on behalf of King Bian Cheng, his achievements can be said to be It exceeded every previous year - as evidenced by the account books of Biancheng Wangzhai, not to mention that the Song Emperor, who was neither high nor low, could not compete with him.
Emotionally and logically speaking, the best solution to this matter is to make some fuss about the rules and play a word game - vote to let the old King Bian Cheng abdicate honorably, and then use it in the next link. Pu Mingxing was brought back to the position of King Bian Cheng as a "substitute". This could not only save the face of the Song emperor, but also retain this rising star who was quite capable of governing. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone and had the best of both worlds. ..
Of course, this is not like going to the wet market to buy vegetables. The problem is that once you do this, the position of Emperor Song will be saved, but what if something goes wrong when Pu Mingxing takes over? Once something like this happens, whoever proposes this plan will be the sinner, and it is possible that the Ten Palaces of Yama will fall out over this. Therefore, it is impossible for Pu Xingxing to easily agree to such conditions.
Back to the present, one can tell from the different reactions of the two people. The worry and anxiety in Emperor Song's heart have almost been written on his face. His eyes kept glancing at the young man, and the acting King Bian Cheng He was quite calm and had been listening to King Yama's words attentively.
Let's not talk about how the relationship between these two people will end for now, let's talk about the second thing - that is, the selection of candidates to fill the vacancies in the Ten Halls of Yama.
Each of the three important things is arranged in strict order - if you fill the vacancy first, and then do the first thing in turn, then the person you kicked out will still have to fill in the next one. ? Isn’t this just taking off your pants and farting!
As for the matter of making up for the leaks, there are not so many rules to speak of. After some simple competitions and assessments, everyone here can vote. Even if the alternates want to choose themselves, they can, but Yama Their weight is higher - at this time, the test is not just whether you can fight or not, but whether you are smart enough. The key is that you have to... "know how to do something".
Because in the final analysis, the Ten Palaces of Yama are an alliance of interests formed by the ten most powerful people or groups in the Green Forest. What is emphasized here is not brotherhood, but the exchange of interests.
What you have may not be as important as you think. What matters is...what you are willing to give.
But the last thing that King Yama said was a topic that had never been discussed before.
The Ten Halls of Yama need the strongest leader to lead them, so it would be best to establish the "strongest" here and now.
People will pay more attention to the things they are interested in - such as Emperor Song and Pu Mingxing when talking about the first thing, and the candidates when talking about the second thing.
The introduction of the third topic made everyone present feel nervous.
King Yama...he really wants to be the boss! This heart is as clear as day.
