Although Yuan didn't think he had a good idea, but in Daxia's interior, from the royal family to the civil and military officials, apparently none of them came to Yuan not to learn from him, and let him, an outsider, decide Attribution of the throne? Ideas.
What the crazy Taoist said, they are all dubious.
After all, this man was secretly imprisoned by the late emperor for many years. He may have a deep hatred in his heart, and he has no good intentions towards the Great Xia royal family. Who knows what he said? Is it true or not? Great Xia established the country? For two hundred years, the old and the new are commonplace. I have never heard of the danger of inheriting the throne.
With such thoughts in mind, the prince, princess and other ministers present did not reveal it, but politely sent a group of ascetics and monsters out of the palace.
After the irrelevant outsiders left, they sat down to discuss what to do next. The funeral for the late emperor only needs to be done according to the fixed procedures. The most important thing is to let the new emperor succeed to the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the court.
Wasn't it because I didn't meddle in my own business? Thoughts.
Although he left the palace first, the little squirrel Yuan Qi stayed inside. This ear-reporting god transmitted sound from the palace through the straw squirrel that was not left behind, and almost told everything about what happened later. over him. It was also because Yuan Qi asked out of curiosity, so he casually mentioned his idea.
If others didn't come to ask, he didn't bother to say it.
When the news came out in the court that the first emperor had died of illness and the new emperor had succeeded him, Li Sanyuan, or how many Yuansan brothers, as well as the group of ascetics and monsters who had been released from the prison by Yuan Buwei , have already gathered in the cleared Taoism—Since Li Mo has lost his soul, he reluctantly accepts this Taoism.
At that time, he didn't want them to come to him to repay his favor afterwards, but they all fulfilled their promises.
It's not that all of these people are like this? They know how to repay their kindness, and there is not even a single one who runs away quietly. It's just that they don't dare to run away. After all, they also saw the strength that the imperial palace Zhongyuan did not show that day, and it was simply unfathomable. Owing the kindness of such a mysterious existence, and daring to run away, I simply don't want to live!
What's more, they are not stupid, such thick thighs are right in front of them, so they have an extra backer. In the past, some little monsters didn't have such an opportunity.
I didn't see it for myself, I saw through their minds, and I didn't mind. The tool man/demon sent to your door will not be accepted for nothing. Anyway, he has always been the only one who squeezes tools and people. How could anyone take advantage of him for nothing
Before he started to squeeze, Xiao Yuan came to the door.
He brought news of the succession of the new king, as well as an imperial decree to confer the title of the former teacher of the country.
— This is also a kind of appeasement. After all, we all knew before that "Xie Yuan" was sent to prison by the late emperor for "dedicated to cultivating the Tao and refusing to marry the princess", but now that he knows his strength and has saved the princes and princesses, how could they dare to offend him? This boss
Even choosing Xiao Yuan to read out the imperial decree was because he was an old acquaintance with "Xie Yuan" and could act as a lobbyist.
"...No rush." It wasn't because he was in no hurry to accept the imperial decree, "It won't be too late for the next? Emperor to take the throne."
Xiao Yuan was confused, looking at Yuan Buwei? There was something strange in his eyes. It was only half a month or so, and he was still in the prison in the sky to deliver the beheading meal to this friend, and then this man came out in a good way, and even became a national teacher.
Because the grandfather in the family has a high official position, Xiao Yuan himself has a friendship with Yuan Buwei. Before that, he faintly heard something revealed by his grandfather, and the whole person was in a daze.
...I thought you were forced to sell yourself, swearing to die, weak and helpless? Poor little one, at most, it’s a bit of a scumbag to take the princess’s magic medicine but not marry the princess; but you are hiding in the crowd? Boss, You overthrew the princess and the emperor in one fell swoop, and you're about to become a national teacher? ?
... And all of this? Not the point, the point is, listen to your tone, do you turn over one? The emperor is not satisfied, do you want to turn it over again? And change it? Only the emperor is satisfied
He was silent for a while, but still couldn't help clearing his throat, leaned close to Yuan Buwei and whispered: "Hey, this... Although the new emperor is a bit domineering and arbitrary, this time I asked Zhishui that you are the master of the country because of Bai He has no choice but to do it when the officials unanimously ask for the seal, but it is not a crime that deserves death, right?"
When the two were talking, they were in the Daozhen Temple? In the main hall, there were still many ascetics and monsters watching on both sides. Although Xiao Yuan deliberately moved closer to Yuan Buwei and lowered his voice, they could still hear clearly. Chu.
Originally, they didn't pay attention to Xiao Yuan, an ordinary person, but now, they couldn't help but sit up straight, with a cautious expression, showing a confused look: "???"
... what the hell? Don't they all say that the emperor of the mortal dynasty is supreme? Why just one? The petty official opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut because the emperor deserved to die? Could it be... this is the style of the boss? Sure enough, the boss's? Friends are also big bosses. What kind of weak and helpless? Ordinary people are just deceiving the world? Just an illusion? So insidious.
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he noticed that those around him who were not easy to mess with at first glance cast awe-filled gazes at him, and their expressions were even more bewildering, as if they had insight into his own? Like a secret?.
Xiao Yuan was more confused than them: "???"
... It always feels like these people seem to have misunderstood something.
But Yuan Yuan, who was sitting at the head of the table, saw the changes in the expressions of the two parties with his own eyes, so he could vaguely guess their thoughts, and answered Xiao Yuan's words dumbfoundingly: "You think too much."
"... It's not that he deserves death, it's just that his virtue is not worthy. His destiny cannot be suppressed in this position of the Son of Heaven."
Xiao Yuan suddenly remembered the words of the "crazy Taoist" relayed by his grandfather, subconsciously glanced at the "crazy Taoist" who was here, and said in surprise: "What he said? Is it true?"
Yuan Buwei affirmed: "It's true."
The madman speaks the truth not out of good intentions. His original intention was to fear that the world would not be chaotic. He wanted to see? The princes were worried and panicked, and the situation was chaotic, turning the precious throne of the late emperor into rubbish that no one wanted. Perhaps this was also a way to relieve his hatred. ?practice.
It's a pity that what he said goes against everyone's common sense, and his position makes it hard to believe what he said. And the temptation of the position of emperor is too high, enough to make some people willing to take risks, especially the eldest prince who is already ranked first among the princes, and is now the new emperor.
As the eldest prince, when the former emperor had neither a direct son nor a crown prince, he thought he was the new emperor's choice. How could he give up the throne because of a mad Taoist? With just a few words
"... So, his? Death is not far away."
In the end, Yuan Buwei made such an assertion.
After he finished speaking, it was fulfilled within a day.
That night, the newly appointed emperor, perhaps because he was too excited to inherit the throne, secretly played with his favorite concubine in the Jinming Pool before the filial piety period, and unfortunately drowned to death. It's only been three days since he succeeded to the throne, and even because of his filial piety, he hasn't even had a real enthronement ceremony, so he's not really a real emperor.
Before the old emperor was buried, another emperor died, and the way of death was still the same? Funny, the other princes were frightened, and suddenly remembered what the madman said, and immediately avoided the emperor's throne.
Soon, the princes asked one by one, "An accident happened?"
Either he accidentally broke his leg, or he suffered from a sudden cold. There was also a prince who revealed his shortcomings and even revealed the secret of his infertility, so that many people looked at the children under his knees. I always feel that this guy has grass growing on his hair...
Probably because they found that one of the brothers was more ruthless than the other, and they were merciless in self-harm. This method could not completely shake the blame; soon they changed directions again, not only crazily belittling themselves, but also began to crazily praise others.
For example, this elder brother is tolerant and magnanimous, and he is a corporal, and that younger brother is talented and intelligent, resourceful and decisive...
All of a sudden, the princes who had fought openly and secretly in the past suddenly became humble and polite one by one, and became respectful brothers and sisters.
All in all, it’s #我很很我很坏我不能帮助 Brothers, all of them? All? Better than me? Can be the emperor#. In other words, in short, it is four? Words #我不想死#.
After such an operation, no one can understand their thoughts, and even civil and military officials have lost their minds. Even the ministers who supported the princes in the past are all dumbfounded. After all, whoever supports them now? In their opinion, they want to harm them and kill them. Dog thief!
Once he is identified as a dog thief who wants his life, these princes who have suffered from severe persecution paranoia will not be polite. The dog thief wants to kill me? Let's kill the dog thief first!
Ever since, a strange scene appeared in the hall.
The emperor's throne is hanging in the air, the princes are respectful and humble, and the ministers are speechless. If someone who can't understand the situation speaks out to support a certain prince, the princes immediately turn their faces and "swing their knives" to slash at the former party feathers.
The Great Xia Empire? For hundreds of years, has there ever been such a wonderful scene where brothers are united in one mind, and they don't even engage in party struggles, cutting their own arms
Helpless? Baiguan almost sighed.
But the position of the Son of Heaven cannot be vacant, there is really no way? The ministers of civil and military affairs all thought of a person.
So, Xiao Yuan came to Daozhen Temple again.
"Let me give you an idea?" After hearing what he conveyed, Yuan didn't hold his chin up, eager to try, "I really have a good idea, simple and direct."
Xiao Yuan asked curiously, "What is such a miraculous method?"
I didn't do it for nothing, but I didn't sell it anymore: "Draw lots. Write all the bottle caps, uh, all the prince's? Names on the paper?, let me draw lots."
What did you say? It sounded unreliable like drawing a death list? Look... Xiao Yuan was silent for ten breaths, and said with a smile: "It's fair. Princes shouldn't have any objections anymore."
"Do you think it was chosen randomly? Today's position as the Son of Heaven does not need to consider birth, talent, and temperament. The only thing to consider is luck." Originally not to see his thoughts at a glance, Wei Wei Shaking his head, "Drawing lots sounds like it? It's like a game, but the person who can be selected from among the princes must be the one with the most luck. Isn't he the emperor's best candidate?"
"Is that so?!" Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up first, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help complaining, "But it's not necessarily true. Who knows whether the person who can be selected as the emperor is the most lucky or the most unlucky?" What about?"
It was not: "..."
It makes sense, he was a little speechless.
However, he quickly realized: "So? It's me who chooses, not you."
He had personally created the Humane Dynasty, and in this world, he was favored by Humane Destiny alone. He could be called the spokesperson of Humane Destiny. If he was randomly selected by lottery, it would at least represent that the prince was most favored by Humane Destiny.
Xiao Yuan only thought that Yuan Buwei meant that he was not extraordinary, and that the chosen one must be someone with great luck, so he responded happily, and turned his head to act as a mouthpiece to convey the matter back to the court.
At this time, all the princes and civil and military officials were at a stalemate. It was not because of this person who was suspected of having a high level of cultivation? Since they had made an idea, they naturally agreed.
After a few days, Yuan Buwei once again stood on the familiar "Golden Temple". But now? He is standing on the highest? white jade steps?, looking down at the people below.
In front of him is a wooden box containing the names of the princes.
All eyes were on him, the ministers were relaxed, but the princes were extremely nervous.
Don't look at what I didn't say? It sounds good. Those who can be selected by him must be those with great luck, but the lessons learned before the sudden death of the eldest prince are there. They really don't believe in their own luck. Can live. Who knows if there is enough luck, what if someone dies suddenly
With such thoughts in mind, they watched the young man stretch out his hand calmly and nervously.
The one who didn't do it was really very calm, only slightly curious.
Let me see? Look? Who's this? Lucky? Cap
