Unlike other people's involuntary bodies, the fourth prince is quite comfortable, and in the past few days, it is not that he is deliberately trying to win over other people, but those "friends" who have taken the initiative to come to the door to help him.

However, there were too many friends who visited, and the four princes also felt a little tired, and in order to maintain their image, they had to receive them with a smile. However, he is glad that these friends can provide him with great help in his next actions.

......

The next day, the morning pilgrimage.

Looking at the empty scene on the dragon chair, the court meeting was still quiet, and no one dared to speak at the court meeting. Not only this day, since the death of the old emperor, the daily court meeting has been such an embarrassing situation.

But today is destined to be different from the past! Almost all the princes who usually don't go to the court meeting at all have arrived, except for the seventh prince who is far away in the Tulip Empire, and the five princes who are martial idiots have not come, and even the lazy second prince and the eighth prince have appeared at the court meeting.

This scene made some of the officials present nervous, and they already realized that something unexpected might happen next.

As expected, the Twelve Elders, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up. In the past, they had always been silent in the court meeting, but they didn't expect to be the first to stand up and speak today!

"The country cannot be without a king for a day! Since the death of Your Majesty, the people of the empire have been miserable! So, in order to put an end to this situation, I propose that the next emperor be elected immediately!" the Great Elder said in astonishment.

However, this is also expected, if this situation of dragons without a leader continues, it will definitely cause a great loss to the empire, and the Great Elder is definitely a good suggestion for the country to put forward this opinion. It's just that these ordinary officials also realized from the words of the Great Elder that a scuffle might break out next! The officials on the scene were all in danger, for fear that they would be involved.

However, just when these officials were frightened, the Great Elder's voice changed and he said: "I recommend the Great Prince to inherit the Great Unification! The Great Prince is worried about the country and the people, and both wisdom and courage are really the best candidates to inherit the throne!"

"That's right, the eldest prince is wise and powerful, which other prince can compare?"

"The qualifications of the eldest prince are also the most outstanding among many princes! For a thousand years, he has presided over various things, and if the eldest prince inherits the throne, he will definitely be able to lead the empire to the peak!"

"I also recommend the Great Prince!"

“。。。 ”

As a result, many officials were shocked to find that the Twelve Elders, who usually have different opinions, were surprisingly unanimous in their opinions on this matter, and they all supported the Great Prince! The Twelve Elders all praised the Great Prince as the best emperor in the past.

Not only that, but some ordinary officials below are also singing the praises of the great prince's wisdom. Some people can't wait to jump out to show their loyalty.

"Please inherit the throne for the stability of the empire!" "The minister of the Imperial Department of Taxation directly knelt down and asked the eldest prince to succeed to the throne.

At this time, although the eldest prince was extremely excited in his heart, he did not show it on the surface. In fact, he was also a little curious today, why did his younger brothers come so together? Could it be that they got the news in advance and wanted to express their position in front of him, saying that they would not cause trouble for themselves in the future? The eldest prince was very confident, and he was not afraid of the objections that others might have. Whoever is not convinced, just kill it!

"Since everybody thinks so, then I'm ... Just as the eldest prince was about to walk up the steps, the third prince suddenly spoke.

"I said, eldest brother, there are still so many people in the Manchu Dynasty who haven't spoken, and you are so anxious to become the emperor?" The third prince had a mocking smile on his face, he didn't know why the twelve elders would support the eldest prince, but it didn't matter. He believed that with the help of the Demon Slayer Temple, he would definitely be the final victor!

"Do you have a different opinion, third brother?" The eldest prince looked at the third prince with dangerous eyes, he really didn't expect that such a waste as the third prince would dare to oppose him as emperor in public.

"I'm afraid not only do I have opinions, but everyone has opinions! Choosing the emperor is a big deal, how can it be so perfunctory?" the third prince sneered.

"That's right, big brother, I think this matter still needs to be considered in the long run!" The fourth prince spoke first, expressing his support for the third prince's words, and disagreeing with the eldest prince inheriting the throne.

With the voices of the third prince and the fourth prince, the rumors of the people below have changed again!

"I think the fourth prince is very good! He is humble, rich and rich, and he will definitely be able to govern the empire well!"

"Yes, I also support the Four Princes!"

“。。。 ”

The four princes showed their popularity at this time, and the eldest prince, who had an advantage, immediately discovered that almost all the people on the scene were shouting for the four princes. The four princes, who originally thought that they were not their opponents, gathered such a large force in silence.

Ari also attended the court meeting today, as a general guarding the frontier and a baron of the empire, he still has this power.

At this time, Ai Rui looked at the three princes who were talking with some doubts, in his thoughts, the three princes should not be involved in this kind of thing. However, since it really happened, then we must think carefully about what is hidden behind the three princes. can let such a waste actively participate in this war, it seems that the secret behind the three princes is not small!

"Are you all going to go against me?" The eldest prince's anger was about to explode, and he thought that the enthronement ceremony would end peacefully, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident, but fortunately, he still has a back hand.

After the eldest prince made a gesture, the twelve elders immediately stood up.

"The laws of the empire say that in the absence of the emperor, if the opinions of our twelve elders reach an agreement, we can temporarily replace the emperor's will! Now, the twelve of us have decided to nominate the eldest prince as the heir to the throne!" the great elder said in a loud voice, for the safety of their relatives, they had to make compromises.

After the Great Elder's words came out, the whole audience fell into silence, and the power of the Great Prince smiled. Controlling the Twelve Elders, today when the old emperor is dead, is equivalent to controlling the laws of the empire!

"Cut! miscalculated!" the fourth prince said hatefully, he didn't expect the eldest prince to have such a means, in this case, his plan would definitely fail. The methods of the eldest prince are too formal, and there is no loophole in the process at all, and his own power is bound to the officials of these empires, and it is unrealistic for them and themselves to blatantly violate the laws of the empire.

"Hmph, I didn't want to use this method!" the eldest prince snorted disdainfully. Wouldn't it be nice to just go as he planned? Why do you have to jump out and be slapped in the face?
