Chapter 598: The New King Goes Back

Although there is a cut on his forearm, he can sleep soundly tonight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If you can sleep so well every day, you would rather be slashed every day.

On the tenth day, Cheng Qianxun could sleep lazily again. At noon, the maid came to invite her, saying that the three kings had invited her over for lunch.

"I can't recuperate from my injuries." Cheng Qianxun could only pass in a huff, and the moment he stepped into the main hall, his face was full of anger and piled up into a friendly smile.

Sitting down, she pointed to the roast lamb: "Leg of lamb." The cook immediately began to slice the lamb from the leg of lamb.

Sneijder smiled on the side and said, "It seems that the queen's appetite has not fallen for yesterday's events. ”

Cheng Qianxun put down the piece of baked cake he had just picked up, and pretended to be sad: "Poor prince, this is how hard it is to choose a person, and then he will die when he walks to the door of the temple." It's all my fault, if I hadn't been in too much of a hurry to elect someone, maybe he wouldn't have died so quickly. ”

If you don't hear it and want to die quickly, just force her.

Obviously, she was delaying as much time as possible, but she said that she was in a hurry, but she was really positive last night. Rudolph sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Since the chosen person is dead, when does the queen plan to choose again?" ”

"That's for the sacrifice." Cheng Qianxun ordered very seriously: "Go and ask the high priest." ”

After a while, the messenger returned, saying that the high priest was sick and could not come.

Cheng Qianxun frowned slightly: "Then go and ask the female sacrifice." ”

The person who reported the news said: "The priestess is also sick, and after divination yesterday, she may have consumed too much mana, so she fell ill on the spot, and she is still lying in the temple, and she will go back when she is a little better." ”

It's fake, but it's also possible that it's true, surrounded by three fierce and vicious kings, waiting for the result, and scaring half of your life is normal.

I looked left and right at the three teammates, all of whom looked unhappy. Cheng Qianxun then ordered: "If you can't go, lift him, or let him answer, when can he divination again, you must set a time, otherwise you still carry him over." ”

And when the messenger withdrew, the high priest dared to come, and told the date, so that the messenger returned.

The messenger knelt on the ground and solemnly conveyed the words of the high priest, which were also equivalent to the words of the god Anu: "Ten days later! ”

"Ten days? It's been too long. Cheng Qianxun deliberately didn't wait for the other kings to have any questions, and shouted first. I was secretly amused in my heart, and it was conceivable that when the high priest heard that he was going to divination, his face immediately turned to ashes.

The messenger replied, "The high priest said that the gods were angry yesterday, and Prince Erica died, so we must wait for the anger of the gods to subside." Ten days is only a possible time, and if the gods are still angry by then, then postpone it again. ”

Haha, that's great, you can drag it out for as long as you can. It's still a little grumpy, as long as he's not happy, no one has anything to do with him. But Cheng Qianxun still sighed, and said in a regretful tone: "It doesn't seem to work, why don't the three kings go back first, it's not a big deal if you haven't been in the country for a long time, right?" ”

Gordon said: "The army and people of Urs are loyal to me, and in my absence, they will defend the country." ”

Rudolph replied: "My spies will come at any time to report, and whoever dares to rebel will feed his whole family to the wild beasts first." ”

Snead smiled confidently, "Throw me off the throne, what other king is as handsome and brave as me?" ”

Uh, well! Cheng Qianxun was speechless for a while, it seemed that they didn't plan to leave without results.

Sneijder also joked very intimately: "The queen should also want to have as many men as possible to accompany her, maybe... Whoever stays longer wins. ”

Rudolph frowned: "It's okay for me to live for ten or eight years, but it's not necessary." If you choose me, I come here for three months every year. ”

Gordon smiled coldly: "Every autumn harvest, I will bring fifty ox carts of wheat over and wait until the end of the winter before leaving. "Not only for more than three months, but also to send food.

Snead chuckled, "I can promise to come over once every two months for fifteen days at a time." "It's about coming here often, and being able to take care of Ekash.

"I have received everyone's wishes." Cheng Qianxun covered the injured place and pretended to be sad: "But Prince Erica just died yesterday, and the gods are angry. So let's wait until ten days later before divination. ”

Then let's rest, if it was before, I would have found a fryer, but now there is someone behind Ekash. The powerful Erica, the national army is at least 30,000, and the queen is desperate to let the new king ascend to the throne, even if she is ungrateful, it will take at least a year or two, right?

Eating the food, Gordon chewed the meat hatefully, and muttered angrily, "It's all excuses." ”

Cheng Qianxun pretended not to hear it, anyway, he could drag it out, complaining and dissatisfaction were nothing, even if someone scolded the street and scolded her eighteenth generation ancestors, just scold.

After lunch, Cheng Qianxun said that he was recuperating from his injuries and went back to rest. The other three kings were in their respective side halls, and their spies could come and go at any time to report the news from all over the place and the situation in their country.

Leaning on the cushion, Cheng Qianxun squinted. Soon after, Lagacsi came in and reported that Regel had arrived at the border in the early hours of the morning, that he had been welcomed by about thirty officers on the border, and that more would be greeted along the way as a sign of obedience and support.

Cheng Qianxun smiled lazily, still closing his eyes: "He originally gave birth to a good skin, much better than his younger brother, and sometimes he looks good, which is also an advantage." ”

Ragassi hesitated and said softly: "He does look like a god descending from the heavens, and the queen is also ... ”

"Alright." She said weakly: "The three next to you are enough to make people troublesome, since King Erica is willing to quit on his own initiative, he really can't ask for it." Don't have any more things to do, by the way, the new king ascends the throne, are there any rules to give something? ”

"It's okay to send something." After thinking for a moment, Ragasi said, "You can send grain, gold, silver, and precious stones." If you send a sword, you will send a sword. ”

"It's money again. The Chancellor of the Exchequer kept calling me poor, and if I continued to call him poor, I would like to raid his house to see if he was poor or not. She said with a little annoyance, thought about it and suddenly had an idea, and sat up sideways: "That dead prince, what did you do with the corpse?" ”

Lagassi replied: "It has been burned." ”

"It's a shame that it burned." Cheng Qianxun lay down again.

"Does the Queen think..." Ragassi smiled bitterly: "On such a hot day, the corpse stinks in less than half a day." ”

This is a hot, arid desert area, where surface temperatures can reach as high as 50 degrees during the day, and the corpses either stink or dry up. Cheng Qianxun said leisurely: "You can cover it with salt and marinate it." ”

Pickled... Ragasi was speechless for a moment, and then said in a half-loud voice: "Waste so much salt." ”

"That's easy." Cheng Qianxun said heartlessly: "If you don't want to waste salt, let King Erica give the salt to every official who didn't support him at that time to stir-fry and eat, and don't think about getting out of prison if you don't finish eating." ”

Lagassi was speechless again, and after a while: "His brother's sword has not been taken, and it is still there as evidence." ”

"Then let's make this sword in a box and send it as a gift." Cheng Qianxun turned around, his eyelids were so heavy, and he wanted to sleep again. Anyway, how to save money and how to toss, after more than a month of siege, the city is almost an empty shell, and this is just starting to open the door to do business, and you can't take taxes too fiercely.

This drowsiness came up, and a cadre of ministers, led by the old minister, sent people to invite, saying that they would preside over government affairs.

If you don't go, maybe you will come in again, kneeling and nagging, saying that you haven't presided over political affairs for four days, and how you should be a queen.

Cheng Qianxun could only get up and go out angrily and helplessly.

Asked someone to thicken the curtain to block the sun and add thick cushions, Cheng Qianxun leaned on the cushions and sat in the open space in front of the palace and temple.

The old minister brought a few ministers over to take a look, and the old minister's mouth moved, and his mouth moved with his curly gray beard, but in the end he still didn't say anything.

Another minister spoke out and unceremoniously specified: "All kings of all ages have to maintain their dignity in front of everyone, even queens, and they must sit solemnly." ”

"You're saying I'm not sitting upright enough?" Cheng Qianxun leaned on the cushion, and she said coldly: "The former king must be taller and more powerful than me, and he must sit upright and dignified when he sits here." Where is he now? Don't always pay attention to face-saving things, if you can solve problems, you are a good king. The people don't care if I'm sitting or lying down, they just need a king who can besiege the four kingdoms and solve it without a single soldier, and who can call the shots for them. ”

The old minister, who was also a man who saw the wind and steered the rudder, stood there and helped speak: "The queen is right, the queen was injured last night. ”

"Even if she is injured, the queen represents the gods and goddesses, and such an image will anger the gods and the people." The minister clearly wanted to stumble.

"Well, that's right!" Cheng Qianxun agreed, and said lightly: "But my body is like this, the gods know that they still sent me, and they should forgive me." If you think the gods will be angry, or else, I will send you to kneel in front of the temple and ask for forgiveness from the gods until you feel that the gods have forgiven me. ”

The official was stunned, and Cheng Qianxun raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Go." ”

He had no choice but to stand up and kneel before the temple.

Cheng Qianxun said angrily to Ragasi next to him: "I used to tell him that I would always kneel down until the gods forgave me." If he doesn't kneel long enough, then he is not sincere, and if God gets angry, he bears the responsibility. I knelt for too short, and I felt that the gods had forgiven me, so he deliberately exaggerated the gods' dissatisfaction, so that he could figure out what the charges were, and then come and confess them. ”

Lagaci had passed, and Cheng Qianxun looked at the people who were standing about a dozen steps away, watching from afar, hoping that these people were all watching the excitement, not all of them came to complain. Said helplessly: "Okay, go and inform them, come and complain, who is the first!" (To be continued.) )
