Chapter 474: The Battle for the Great Position

This day is actually a candle night in Zhu Yuncong's cave room.

But after sobering up a little, he was called by Kong Weisi to the Holy Sect headquarters next to him. The sect is crazy, Mr. Wang Da has fallen, and in the face of such a great change, everything must be put aside.

In the main hall of the Holy Sect Headquarters, the throne that originally belonged to the Sect Venerable was empty. Sitting first on the left is Kong Weisi, who is also the only one left among the original six bachelors.

The rest are co-organizers, as well as some other bigwigs who are a bit of a big guy. In fact, in the previous series of changes, the co-organizers also lost a lot, and later added a lot. However, the traditional forces of the gate lords are quite stubborn, so the candidates who are still added are the Holy City Kong Clan, the Nandu Kong Clan, the Meng Clan, the Zhu Clan, the Yan Clan, the Zeng Clan, and the Wang Clan.

Zhu Yuncong, as a co-organizer of the Hongde Palace, is justified in coming here. But in addition to him, there was also a young man, Kong Chuifan.

In fact, Kong Chuifan was not qualified to come in, but it was only because of the Holy City Kong Clan's strong request that Kong Weisi had to agree.

Now these bigwigs are all gloomy, because they all know that the Holy Sect is facing the biggest subversion crisis since the invasion of the Japanese army.

Kong Weisi looked around, and his speech was still slow and logical, not to mention that it didn't look like a sudden change, or even like a person whose son was on the verge of death.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a major crisis that my Holy Sect has not seen for decades, not only are the Mo family eyeing and plotting against the Realm, but also the various forces in the Remnant World are also ambitious, and they are not optimistic. But the most important thing now is to determine the successor of the sect - don't blame Kong for speaking recklessly, the situation is really critical and there is no time to be polite. ”

It's really straight to the point.

But he also has enough strength to say this, because he has a high status, old qualifications, and is the head of a family, and his surname is Kong. It can be said that he has the conditions that others do not have.

What's more, now everyone knows that Zhu Yuncong is the "crown prince" of the Holy Sect, but Kong Weisi foreshadowed early and has always maintained Zhu Yuncong's status. Therefore, if Zhu Yuncong really stepped into the position of the sect venerable, then he would inevitably rely on Kong Weisi in turn.

This is called vision, and it is also called wisdom.

It's just that this matter is quite sensitive, and everyone doesn't dare to say a word. It's a big deal, and if you're not careful, you'll be on the wrong side.

Kong Weixin, the representative of the Confucian clan in the southern capital and now the scholar of the Hongde Hall Trustee University, as a descendant of the sect, may feel that he has the most right to speak. The fair-skinned middle-aged man smiled without embarrassment: "Brother Wei Si, what do you mean? Since you have an idea, it is better to take it out and discuss it first." ”

Kong Weisi didn't take a detour, and said directly: "It's not my idea, just follow the established rules." Our Holy Religion has regulations, and there are three ways to pass on the throne -

First, the previous teacher voluntarily abdicates and directly appoints an heir. Of course, this method doesn't make any sense to us now, and the situation of the Sect Venerable is too bad to make rational arrangements.

Second, if you are in wartime or in a critical moment, you can arrange them in the order of the scholars of the two halls and the four pavilions.

Third, if it is a peacetime transition, such as the natural fall of the former deity, then according to the predetermined candidates originally cultivated, the rest of you will do your best to support them. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Kong Weisi looked at Zhu Yuncong.

It just so happened that Zhu Yuncong also looked at him, and immediately shifted his gaze after looking at him, Zhu Yuncong continued to bow his head and remain silent, pretending to drink tea quietly.

According to the method of wartime or crisis, it is undoubtedly Kong Weisi who takes over, because he is not only the great bachelor of the Lile Pavilion, but also the great scholar of the Huairen Hall of the First Palace. Whether it is ranking or seniority, the rest of the people are not qualified to compete with him.

If it doesn't count as the one who is in charge of the acting position, then well, Kong Weixin of the Hongde Hall is also in charge, and after Yan Qing of the Spring and Autumn Pavilion is dismissed, he is also in charge of others. Then, Kong Weisi, who is also the Lile Pavilion, is also the only bachelor who is not a trustee and manager. So no matter how you sort it, he's number one.

But if you follow the third plan, of course, it should be to support the "prince" Zhu Yun from the top. Although Kong Chuifan's appearance was a small accident, in general, Zhu Yuncong's position was still there.

Therefore, Zhu Yuncong felt cautious and sensitive, and when he looked at Kong Weisi, he only felt that he was hairy in his heart. The battle for the big position, once the name is determined, the upper and lower positions, the monarch and the minister are different, and the gap is too big.

It feels similar to fighting for the throne in ancient times, and if you don't agree with each other, you may never recover.

But with Zhu Yuncong's current strength, can he win over Kong Weisi? After the Zhu Zhenhao incident, the entire Zhu family became a shrunken rat.

The others also began to make small calculations immediately: the first way was obviously meaningless, and it was impossible for the sect to designate a successor if he went crazy, so the second way would be beneficial to Kong Weisi, and the third would be beneficial to Zhu Yuncong.

But the vast majority of people also think that what is beneficial to Zhu Yuncong is also beneficial to everyone. Because the young master needs the support of many elders, everyone has benefits.

And if Kong Weisi is allowed to take the position, what else will happen to others? This big man must have strength and strength, means and means, background and background, qualifications and qualifications, and experience and experience...... There's nothing he lacks at all, and everything seems to be better than the others.

Kong Weixin immediately couldn't sit still, and his smile narrowed slightly: "The first one doesn't work, so it seems that Brother Wei Si prefers the second one?" ”

Everyone's eyes were on Kong Weisi, but Zhu Yun was the only one who pretended to be relaxed and still drank tea.

The old gentleman Kong Weisi shook his head: "Don't misunderstand. The reason why I mention these three ways of succession is only to avoid strife, not to create strife. Now that internal and external troubles are intertwined, it is the time for our various palaces and families to work together. ”

No one believed it.

In the face of such a major interest, you Kong Weisi gave up with a word?

If you are really so high-spirited, then why do the Kong clan of Nandu still occupy the Lile Pavilion, just throw it away.

Kong Weisi said: "The first way is naturally excluded, and as for the second way, I want to say that Kong himself does not want to take over." Of course, if I give up this position as a great scholar of the Lile Pavilion and the Lihuai Ren Palace, I don't know if you will no longer compete for it?"

If the second option is followed, I will be the first heir. I won't fight, I guess everyone doesn't have the face to fight, right?

Kong Chuixin, who was in the position of the second heir, smacked his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't have the face to say it. In fact, he originally wanted to rely on the identity of the descendant of the sect, plus the support of the Kong clan in the holy city, to try to fight for it.

As for the others, they have no face and no strength to fight for this.

And Zhu Yun was slightly shocked in his heart, such a great good thing in his heart could really fall on his head so lightly?

In fact, that's really the case! I just heard Kong Weisi say: "So let's follow the third way and directly ask Yun Cong to succeed to the throne." Please also do your duty and do your best to support Yuncong. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and Kong Weisi is usually a gentleman on the surface, but in fact, he is a gentleman in his heart.

And Kong Weixin came with the opinion of the Holy City Kong Clan, and finally couldn't help but raise an objection, saying: "Brother Weisi, but you should also know that Lord Sect Venerable actually focused on cultivating Kong Chuifan in the later stage. ”

Kong Chuifan on the side couldn't help but straighten his neck, as if announcing his legal heir status.

In fact, the high-level personnel all knew that the sect was gradually preparing to give up Zhu Yuncong and choose to support Kong Chuifan, and the situation was already very obvious.

It's just that Zhu Yun has naturally had his own foundation since he was cultivated for so many years, and at the same time, he has received the full support of Kong Weisi and the Zhu family, as well as the Meng family and the Zeng family to a certain extent. In order not to divide further in the chaos, the Sect continued to maintain the original situation.

It can be said that the sect wanted to depose Zhu Yuncong, but the time had not yet arrived, so how could he have wanted to teach the sect to be himself.

Of course, it can also be said that Kong Chuifan was unlucky and did not wait for the time to take over.

Kong Weisi shook his head: "Brother Weixin, let's talk about the rules, not the preferences of the Sect Honor. No matter how much Lord Sect Zun liked Kong Traifan, why didn't he depose Yun Cong's position as the heir? Since he was not deposed, it means that in the heart of Lord Sect Zun, Yun Cong is naturally still a better junior, although Zun Fan is also very good. ”

Kong Weixin was also a little speechless, although he knew what the sect venerable actually thought.

Kong Chuifan was a little blushing and his neck was thick: "Master Kong, Lord Sect Zun once said to me in person, asking me to work hard and support me as the successor in three or two years!"

"Presumptuous! You are arrogant!" Kong Weisi, who has always been a good man, suddenly became furious! "Knowing that the Sect Venerable Lord is not in a clear mind, what kind of illusory old words are you using to deceive everyone? You know that you can't ask the Sect Venerable Lord for verification, right? You are trying to split the Holy Sect and create chaos, and your heart can be punished!"

This hat was buttoned so big that Kong Chuifan was startled.

But Kong Weisi said it almost clearly -- what the Sect Zun said was false, and there was no evidence; you said that the Sect Zun wanted to support you as the heir, and I also said that the Sect Zun wanted to support Zhang San and Li Si, but there was no basis for it.

Kong Weisi continued to angrily denounce and said: "If it weren't for the fact that this stormy moment requires everyone's sincere cooperation, you should be beaten to death with a stick based on your arrogant words! I, my brother and I and all the princes here have taken the initiative to give up the fight, for the sake of the unity of the Holy Sect, how can you dare to make a big fuss here and create a split? Get out of here!"

A few words almost collapsed the state of mind of the young man who scolded Kong Chuifan.

Kong Weixin defended him, but Kong Weisi's hat was too big, and the high wind and bright festival were in front, making them look like villains if they fought for the Holy City Kong Clan again. So Kong Weixin also had to cough dryly: "Brother Weisi, it's common for young people to not know the severity, why be so angry...... Don't apologize to you and step back!"

Kong Chuifan is called a nest in his heart, and the great position of the sect deity is falling, and once it falls, it will be a lifetime!

But the situation is stronger than people, and when he meets Kong Weisi, a reasonable, thoughtful, and powerful boss, what can Kong Chuifan do? So with unwilling tears in his eyes, he came out and hugged Kong Weisi's hand and bowed deeply, leaving with hatred.

As for Zhu Yuncong, he didn't know how to deal with this sudden major event in a hurry. It was only less than fifteen minutes, and the trajectory of his life had completely changed.
