Lu Tianyi frowned and said, "I am the half-brother of the late Emperor Lu Shanhe and also the prince. In that case..."
"etc."
Lin Xingchu frowned lightly and said: "Lu Tianyi, how could you be so virtuous and capable that you actually want to usurp your position?"
"Lin Xingchu, you..."
Lu Tianyi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but Lin Xingchu was right. Although Lu Tianyi was a prince, he had not accomplished anything, and he could not be said to be a direct descendant of the late emperor Lu Shanhe. When it came to blood, it would be better to be pure than a posthumous son.
Xiyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Could it be that Duke Xingchu wants to invite Lu Hui, who has gone crazy, to ascend the throne again?"
"Madman..."
Lin Xingchu smiled slightly: "Actually, it would be better if he is a fake madman. I am afraid that a real madman like Lu Ning will come to court and make things difficult for the soldiers on the front line. How can such a person lead the Xia clan to prosperity?"
Xiyang said calmly: "Now, there are only two choices, one is Lu Zhen and the other is Lu Hui. Mr. Xingchu, you should choose one, right? Could it be that... Mr. Xingchu wants to arrogantly claim the throne?"
Lin Xingchu's eyes turned cold: "Tian Mugong, please don't spit blood. Xingchu has never thought of overstepping his bounds. However, the two people recommended by Tian Mugong are one of them an infant and the other a lunatic. Is there really no one left in our Xia clan? Can the Xia Clan rule thousands of miles of territory with babies and lunatics?"
"It seems that Duke Xingchu already has a candidate deep in his heart?" said a general from Tianfeng City.
"That's right."
Lin Xingchu smiled slightly, walked off the stage, gently took Luo Qingyi's hand, and said: "I, the Lord of White Deer City, Lin Xingchu supports Luo Qingyi as the new Xia Emperor!"
"What?!" Luo Qingyi was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Xingchu, are you crazy?"
Xiyang was shocked: "The princess's surname is Luo but not Lu. How can she ascend the throne as the emperor?! Don't forget, the Xia clan's empire is the Lu family's empire. You are... tantamount to usurping the throne!"
"Tian Mu Gong!"
Lin Xingchu frowned and said, "Mr. Xiyang, if you are not an old fool, you should know who the wife of the palace commander Luo Ning is, right?"
"Of course, the late Emperor Lu Shanhe promised Princess Changning to marry the palace commander Luo Ning as a reward for his illustrious military exploits in guarding the border. This matter spread throughout the world more than 20 years ago. Who knows?"
"In this case, Luo Qingyi is the daughter of Luo Ning and Princess Changning, and she is half of the royal family. Why does Lord Xiyang say that Luo Qingyi's accession to the throne is a usurpation of the throne?"
"But...but..."
Xiyang gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, after all, Luo Qingyi is an outsider after all, how can he usurp the throne of Emperor Xia?"
Lu Tianyi waved his hands and said, "I don't agree with this either!"
"Mr. Xingchu, I..."
Luo Qingyi gritted his silver teeth and said, "My father just died for his country, how could I..."
"Your Highness."
Lin Xingchu looked at her respectfully and changed his mind, saying: "You have the blood of the royal family, and at the same time, you are also a commander of the Xia clan with great military exploits. Is there anyone more suitable to ascend the throne as the Xia Emperor than you? You I have also seen that after the brothers Lu Hui and Lu Ning came to power, our Xia clan has been declining day by day. Do you still want to see a mediocre person become the next foolish king and lead our Xia clan into a point of no return?"
I immediately said: "Princess, even if it is an important task, you should not refuse it. Duke Xingchu is right. There is no one more suitable to be the emperor than you. I hope you will not refuse it. You can only accept it as your responsibility." In order to defend the north, a few of the Xia tribe's warriors will die in vain. This is not a matter of you alone, but a matter of the entire Xia tribe."
"I... I..." Luo Qingyi was already confused.
…
"Mr. Xingchu, are you determined to have your own way?"
Xiyang suddenly drew his sword, showing an angry look. He pointed the sword in the direction and said: "Just south of the imperial capital, our 400,000 Yunying Army and Fire Phoenix Wings Army in Tianfeng City are waiting in full formation. If Xingchu Gong continues to insist on his own way, I am willing to lead these 400,000 Xia tribe warriors and rebels to pieces under the city, I hope you will consider it!"
"Master Xiyang, are you...scaring me?"
Lin Xingchu gently pulled out his sword and said with a smile: "Do you think I, Lin Xingchu, are scared? Not to mention that Tianfeng City only has 400,000 troops. Even if you come with 1 million, you can defeat me with 100,000 Bai." Deer cavalry? With all due respect, the Wings of Fire Phoenix and Cloud Shadow Legion have not participated in a war for many years. Doesn’t the Grand Duke weigh their combat power? Besides, I brought 300,000 elite soldiers from White Deer City with me on this trip. In addition to Princess Qingyi’s 300,000 elite troops, as well as the more than 100,000 elite troops from Dragon Domain and hundreds of dragon knights, Master Xiyang, can your 400,000-strong army survive for half a day without defeat?"
"you you… "
Xiyang's face turned pale: "Don't threaten me!"
"Threatening you? Is this necessary?"
Lin Xingchu said calmly: "As long as Lord Yuechi is on my side, do you have any chance of winning?"
"you… "
Xiyang turned around, looked at Mingyuechi, and said: "This matter is a family matter of the Xia Dynasty. As the holy land of the human race, Longyu will not get involved in this matter, right? Master Yuechi."
Mingyuechi's beautiful eyes are like water: "Longyu will never participate in the change of the Xia clan dynasty, but... my junior brother Ding Muchen is not only one of the commanders of Longyu, but also a member of the adventurers of Bailu City. If he is willing to participate in the war, Naturally, Longyu will fully support him.”
I immediately expressed my attitude: "I am willing to support Luo Qingyi as the new Xia Emperor. Anyone who continues to hinder me will be my enemy and the enemy of Longyu!"
Luo Qingyi cast a grateful look.
"you… "
Xiyang was so angry that he was almost speechless.
At this time, the Minister of Hubu stood up to smooth things over and said: "Xingchu Gong and Tianmu Gong, the two princes are the mainstay of the empire, so there is no need to quarrel in the court. The old minister believes that the selection of Emperor Xia should be followed by the ministers Views."
"Can."
Lin Xingchu nodded and said, "Then let's vote for the new Xia Emperor. Mr. Tianmuzhi, are you willing?"
Xiyang nodded immediately: "Yes!"
"OK."
Lin Xingchu smiled slightly, with a charming smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Please all military generals wearing three general stars and civil servants of second grade or above stay, and the rest will all go out!"
"Yes, Mr. Xingchu!"
A large group of people who did not have enough official titles withdrew, but because I was also a general with three gold stars, I was lucky enough to stay and became a member of the electorate. With such a retreat, Xiyang suddenly became anxious. The people he brought Too few, especially since there are only a few generals brought into the hall, and not many civil servants are willing to favor him. After all, Lu Ning is dead, and the top brass of the Xia clan are about to change. If Luo Qingyi ascends the throne, then This is a new pattern. At this time, many ministers are thinking about taking sides. If they take the wrong side, they may be doomed.
As a result, a total of 37 people were left.
Lin Xingchu asked with a smile: "Mr. Xiyang, who do you support to become the emperor?"
"Lu Zhen."
"good."
Lin Xingchu smiled slightly: "Then I support Luo Qingyi's ascension to the throne. Now, either I or Mr. Xiyang, the ministers who support Luo Qingyi's ascension as the emperor, please stand on the right, and those who support Lu Zhen as the emperor, please stand on the left. , everyone can rest assured that after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will still be an honorable minister of the Xia clan no matter where he stands and will not be held accountable."
Having said that, even I can smell the hidden murderous intent.
…
Everyone stood up one after another, but my senior sister Mingyuechi and I remained motionless, still standing in the row of generals on the right. A group of ministers stood in the middle row. You looked at me, I looked at you. Finally, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War all stood together. He walked towards Lin Xingchu and stood on the right, while the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment stood on Xiyang's side, but their numbers were still at an absolute disadvantage. After all, most of the senior generals who came to the court this time were Lin Xingchu and Luo Qing. clothes man.
The most important thing is that when I am willing to stand with Luo Qingyi on behalf of Longyu, everything is already decided. No one knows how strong Longyu is. The choice of Longyu almost determines the balance of strength. Which side did you fall to? Lin Xingchu said that he would not settle the scores, but once Luo Qingyi ascends the throne, the higher-ups will definitely consider cleaning up the dissident forces, especially those ministers in important positions. They will definitely be removed one by one, even me. That's definitely what he will do.
Soon, the queue was completed.
There were only a pitiful 11 people who supported Lu Zhen's ascension to the throne, while as many as 26 people supported Luo Qingyi's ascension to the throne. He won with an absolute advantage!
"alright."
Lin Xingchu gently held Luo Qingyi's little hand and walked to the front of the throne. He held her shoulders with both hands and let her sit on the throne. Then he turned around, raised the hem of his cloak heroically, knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice. : "Lin Xingchu, a humble minister, comes to see Your Majesty!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt together.
The people in Long Domain are still standing. Mingyuechi, Fengyu, I, and I stand carelessly in the crowd. The Holy Land does not worship the king. This is an ancient rule and has never changed.
In the end, Xiyang, Lu Tianyi and others also knelt down one by one and shouted long live the mountain.
At this point, Luo Qingyi ascended the throne as emperor, and the Xia clan ushered in a new era, an era that made me want to cheer for a little bit. Finally, before the national war was about to come, the Chinese war zone ushered in a wise man. The king!
…
Luo Qingyi stood up, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking deep, and said: "Then... thank you all for your love for Qingyi. Since I am the Emperor of Xia, Qingyi will definitely do his best to protect our Xia clan's homeland. In addition, I will immediately announce the second An imperial edict holds a state funeral for my father and Qian Shuai who died in the battle in the Northern Territory, and allows them to be buried in the imperial mausoleum! In addition, the funeral of the late Emperor Lu Ning will be held together."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"besides."
Luo Qingyi paused: "The princes' armies from the northern towns returned to their respective defense areas in the afternoon. The legions from Tianfeng City were temporarily stationed in the imperial capital to assist in the security of the imperial capital. Several palaces were cleared to allow Duke Tianmug and Regent Lu Tianyi to be here. Staying temporarily.”
"Your Majesty, you can't do this..."
Xiyang stood up: "Aren't you a veteran under house arrest?"
Luo Qingyi's beautiful eyes were like water: "For the long-term peace of the Xia clan, I have no choice but to wrong the Grand Duke. Don't worry, the conditions in the palace are exactly the same as those of Emperor Xia. Qingyi will never treat you badly. Since Qingyi has decided to become the Emperor of Xia, , we will stop the Xia Clan from splitting at all costs, and starting from today, Duke Xingchu and I will directly control the two major military palaces of Bailu City and Tianfeng City."
…
I took a deep breath. From this moment on, Luo Qingyi has become the real Emperor Xia.
