Many officials wanted to ask Qin Dong how he came here, but because of Qin Dong's identity, he didn't dare to ask and was embarrassed to ask, after all, Qin Dong was Edika's son-in-law, regardless of his official status or relationship with Edika, he would come here if he wanted to, no one could care.

At this time, someone asked Felton, "My lord, what is it that has brought so many of us together, and when will the discussion begin?" ”

"It's ......," Felton didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qin Dong said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's deliberations are presided over by this king, and the generals who belong to the officials of the Zuo Dadu Governor's Mansion and above have received notices, so some of the stations are far away, and they may not be able to rush over until the afternoon, so they will not officially start the deliberations until the afternoon, please be calm, someone will arrange a room for you to rest and eat, and this king will send someone to inform you during the afternoon meeting!" ”

Qin Dong's words made many officials begin to be puzzled, but they didn't know what was going on, what about Captain Zuo and King Edika of Skil? Where is he? They saw that Qin Dong's face was a little unsightly, so they didn't dare to continue asking.

Due to the tight lockdown of the news, not many people knew that Edika had been stabbed to death, and these people were all warned by Yan zhòng that they could not publicize the matter until the news of Edika's death was announced, so the officials and generals who came this time did not know what was going on.

Qin Dong led the way to the room where Edica's body was placed, and he took a look at the body. After bowing to the corpse, he came out and rested in a large and bright room under Felton's arrangement.

"Lord Felton, go and call all the officials who know the truth. Let's figure out how the afternoon meeting will go! Qin Dong said after entering the room.

Felton promised, "Yes, my lord! ”

The people who knew the truth were basically Edika's staff and a few Skill officials in the Zuo Dadu Governor's Mansion, who could be said to be Edika's henchmen, and these people quickly rushed to Qin Dong's room where he was resting after being notified.

Qin Dong looked at these officials, one of them was very old, he knew that this was the clan elder of the Skir people, so he got up and greeted the man: "Clan elder! ”

The clan elder hurriedly said, "No." No, please sit down, my lord! ”

After everyone sat down, Qin Dong said, "Everyone here is someone who knows the truth. I will not repeat it here, judging from the situation at the scene of the assassination, it must have been the Ostrogoths, and just now Lord Felton told me that the Ostrogothic chief in the north had sent someone to persuade his father-in-law to join their alliance a few days ago. My father-in-law didn't agree. And drove them out, it is not difficult to speculate that it was Dio Demir who saw that the lobbying could not succeed, and was worried that the secret would be leaked, so he sent someone to assassinate his father-in-law, just now this king has ordered all the passages out of the country to be blocked, as long as the person with suspicious deeds is found, he will be arrested immediately, and at the same time, this king also ordered the patrol bureau to intervene in the investigation and pursuit, and they will solve the case within three days, please rest assured. We're going to catch the Assassins, and that's the first thing the king called over to talk about.

The second thing. My father-in-law is gone, so we must do our best to report this matter to the royal court and to Da Dan Yu, who may reappoint a new Zuo Dadu, and we can only obey the orders of the royal court in this matter, but regarding the question of my father-in-law's heir to King Skir, I don't know who you think should be the heir of your father-in-law? You are all your father-in-law's confidants and officials during his lifetime, I don't know what you mean? We must now have a unified idea in order to stabilize the situation in the afternoon's deliberations, otherwise everyone will have their own opinions, and will not it be a mess? ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do, only two or three of them had official positions, and the others were just staff members, and they didn't have actual official positions, and only one of them was from the military, even if they expressed their opinions, but their opinions did not necessarily represent the opinions of other people, and it was really unclear whether they could be effective.

At this time, the patriarch of the Skir people said: "What the king said is reasonable, His Majesty the King has returned to the arms of God, we should be happy for him, now is not the time to be sad, we must have a unified understanding, according to our rules of Skil, if the king's leader dies, then his heir should inherit his qiē, but Edika's Majesty has no heirs, only Princess Sula has a daughter, and the rule of our Skir people is that women cannot inherit the position of the king's leader, It can only be temporarily regent by Princess Sula's husband, that is, King Qindong, and wait until the son of Princess Sula and the king is born, and their son will inherit the throne of the Skir people, so I mean that the king will be regent for the time being, I don't know what you think? ”

Everyone nodded, even if someone wanted to object, but there was no reason to object, Qin Dong's temporary regent was justified, if someone objected to it, it would be against the rules that the Skir people had always had, you must know that the rules are not so easy to break.

Qin Dong saw that everyone had no opinion, so he said: "Since this is the case, this king should be the best, in this land, there are not only the Huns, but also the Romans, the Slavs, the Alans, the Avars, and hundreds of other large and small ethnic groups, this king regards them as his own people, and now in the territory of this king, they all live very well, actively pay taxes, actively join the army, this king treats the Skir people the same, under the rule of this king, all nationalities are equal, Even a very small number of ethnic groups have very preferential policies, you trust this king so much, this king will not let you down, but this matter has to seek the opinions of the main generals of the military and some key officials, as long as we can unite the majority of officials and officers, then the Skir people will not be chaotic, there will be no chaos here, we will definitely be able to stabilize the situation! ”

Under the leadership of the clan elders, all the officials stood up and saluted to Qin Dong, and swore allegiance to Qin Dong, these people also knew that at this time they were going to stand in line, and if they didn't stand in line, once a chaotic situation was formed, they would be the first to suffer from these officials who had no military power.

In the afternoon, the officials and generals who were a little farther away came one after another, and Qin Dong sent people to talk to some of the main generals and several major officials of the military side separately to ask for their opinions, and everyone unified their thinking and understanding, the purpose of this was to win over the majority, and to win over some influential officials and generals, so as not to have too many opposing voices at that time, and this was done in the officialdom of later generations, and one of the advantages of doing this was that it could facilitate consultation and negotiation, and everyone shared the cake until an agreement was reached. Then the overall situation will not be chaotic, if it is directly decided at the conference without consultation in advance, it will definitely be a mess at that time.

If there is no way to talk in secret, and some people insist on opposing it, and there is no room for negotiation at all, then such a person can only have one end, that is, he will be exterminated, and as Qin Dong expected, there are still two generals in the Skill military who do not agree to the temporary regency and command of the army by Qin Dong, and Qin Dong immediately ordered the two generals to be secretly executed.

Needless to say, the generals and officials who originally had a good impression of Qin Dong, those generals and officials who got the benefits and shared the cake certainly supported Qin Dong, and there were also some wall grass, two-faced military generals and several key officials who had always expressed their support for Qin Dong, and they also saw the opportunity quickly, and they all agreed to be temporarily regent by Qin Dong, waiting for Qin Dong and Sulla's son to be born and grow up before passing on the throne to their son.

After getting rid of the military generals and officials of the Skir people, the next step was to hold a meeting to inform all the officials under the Governor's Mansion that Edika had been assassinated.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, all the officials and military generals who came to attend the meeting gathered in the meeting room, and Qin Dong walked to the front of the stage under the arch guard of several guards, followed by several staff members and several key officials of Skil.

"The king of the Eastern Court of the Hun Empire has arrived-"

With a long announcement, all the officials stood up and saluted Qin Dong, Qin Dong pressed his hand down, he stood on the stage and said with a sad expression: "I think you are very puzzled, why did Lord Captain Edika not come, I have to report to you very sadly that Lord Captain Edika was assassinated on the way to the town of Slitsa yesterday!" ”

"Ahh

Some people may wonder if Dadan Yu sent someone to do it, some people may suspect that Qin Dong sent someone to do it, and some people wonder if it was done by the Eastern and Western Roman Empires.

After someone reacted, he immediately asked: "King, this matter is the mastermind, has it been found out?" ”

Qin Dong nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at Felton next to him and said: "I found out, Lord Felton knows best about this matter, this king actually only learned the news of Lord Adika's assassination this morning, and Lord Felton will tell you the specific situation!" ”

Qin Dong didn't want to be so troublesome, so he just said it himself, but after careful consideration, he decided to let Felton say it, after all, Felton has always been the head of the Zuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and many of Edika's things are handled by him, and it is more convincing for Felton to say this matter.
