Chapter Ninety-Eight: Under the Banquet

Xiang Ridongcheng's head was a mess, he really didn't know what to say, he knew very well that what was in front of him was a big question related to the life and death of the family, which made him a little overwhelmed for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But after all, he was the head of the family, and he had experienced several winds and waves, so he barely calmed down, sat opposite the cold crack in the east city, and also poured himself a glass of wine.

"According to Brother Leng's wishes, we will leave now?"

Xiang Sun Dongcheng leaned forward and said tentatively.

Hehe, it's easy to get in at this time, I'm afraid it's hard to get out.

"Brother Dongcheng, don't you see that this banquet has long been surrounded by the Guards Legion, hum, I'm afraid no one can leave until the banquet is over. ”

After Leng Yan finished speaking, he raised his head and gestured to Ridong City.

Xiang Ridongcheng turned around, and sure enough, a group of guards stood in some inconspicuous corners in the main hall of the banquet at some point, and these guards did not all enter the main hall, on the contrary, most of them guarded the entrance of the main hall.

His face sank instantly, and Xiang Ridongcheng had no doubts about it now.

He really didn't expect that His Majesty the old king would do such a great job.

Just as the two fell silent, a group of maids entered the main hall with food plates, and precious jade plates filled all the tables.

Many family VIPs who had been chatting happily in twos and threes had sat down with their positions at this time.

The old king, supported by two young maids, ascended to the golden throne high in the center of the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to make an announcement today on the occasion of this feast. ”

After a pause, the old king Kondo Tamami looked at the crowd below who had become quiet because of his words, nodded in satisfaction and continued to speak.

"This king is old, today to set the crown prince, the third prince Yushu since childhood, quite virtuous, very suitable for my heart, the most suitable to inherit my East Ninja Kingdom, what do you think. ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall exploded.

No one expected that the old king Kondo Tamagami would actually issue an edict of the crown prince at this time to choose a successor.

Shang Shanzhi was in a hurry when he heard this, but his Shang Shan family pressed everything on the eldest prince, and even two nieces and one daughter were married to the eldest prince, thinking that after the eldest prince ascended the throne, his Shang Shan family would be able to go further, so as to completely subdue the other three families to become the east

The largest family in the country of ninja.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom Law of Succession stipulates that only the eldest son can inherit the title of the kingdom. It is not lawful for you to do so, and the Three Princes are not eligible to succeed to your throne. ”

Under the signal of Shang Shanzhixin's eyes, an official who had already taken refuge in the command of the eldest prince put down his utensils and stood up against him.

"Your Majesty, the law of the kingdom is the foundation of my Dongnin country, how can it be destroyed at will, even if you want to set up a crown prince, the third prince should not be ranked in front of the two elder brothers. ”

An official of the Shi family also received the meaning of the head of the family and stood up to refute it.

Don't get me wrong, the Shi family is not to support the eldest prince to ascend to the throne, but because they don't want to see the third prince succeed, their Shi family is betting on the second prince, as long as the new king has not yet come to power, they have a glimmer of hope.

"Whoever still objects, don't hide anything to say, just say it. ”

Old Kondo stroked the golden deputy on the throne and looked indifferently at the courtiers below.

Having said that, except for the four major families and some of the bigwigs who hold great power, who dares to speak in this atmosphere, who has the courage to do so.

"Since no one objects anymore, then this matter is settled, ahem, the emperor come in. ”

Ignoring the small shrimp that jumped out, Kondo Yujin glanced at the head of the Shi family, who was beginning to become unkind, and gave the king's will in a commanding tone.

Dressed in golden yellow and with the scabbard of a silver-white long sword hanging from his waist, the outstanding three princes walked into the hall with a smile on their faces, surrounded by a group of guards.

The three princes with a spring breeze on their faces frequently nodded to the small family members around them who began to show their flattery, although these weak guys are all some wall grass, but even if they get their superficial support, they can also boost their own momentum a little, after all, those big forces have chosen his two elder brothers, when it comes to these, the three princes seem to be some alone.

Soon, the guards who came in with the three princes quickly divided into two factions, separating a passage to the king's throne.

The third prince walked up to the old king and knelt down on one knee, allowing his father to put the scepter in his hand on his shoulder.

"Emperor, are you willing to inherit your father's kingdom, are you willing to take on the responsibility of reviving the kingdom, are you willing to ......?"

"If you agree, then take over your father's scepter, and from today onwards, you will be the crown prince of my Eastern Ninja Kingdom to assist my father in handling political affairs, and in a year you will be the next king of my Eastern Ninja Kingdom. ”

After a procedural questioning, only the last sentence gets to the point.

The scepter, inlaid with various gemstones representing the symbolism of the king, was handed to the third prince by the old king Kondo.

"The sons are willing, and everything is subject to their father's wishes. ”

The excitement that could not be concealed appeared on the face of the third prince, and he hurriedly raised his arm and stretched out his scepter to the scepter that he was so eager to yearn for the path of the king.

"Slow, Your Majesty, the old minister is rude, dare to ask Your Majesty if you want to go your own way, the eldest prince is brave and extraordinary, opening up territory for the empire, and his achievements are high, whether from the perspective of law or military merits, he is the best choice for the next throne of my Eastern Ninja Kingdom, why do you just appoint the three princes who have no achievements as the prince. The old minister could not agree with His Majesty's approach, and asked His Majesty to retract his order. ”

Shang Shan Zhixin stepped forward and pushed away the guards in front of him, and said with a hard objection.

Seeing that Shang Shanzhixin, the head of the Shang Shan family, opened his mouth, many officials under the command of the eldest prince expressed their opinions, all believing that the succession of the three princes was illegal, and the throne should be inherited by the eldest prince.

At this time, the head of the Shi family no longer spoke, since there is a disturbance, then he is too lazy to offend people, as long as the good things of the third prince are stirred up today, then the second prince naturally has hope, the eldest prince and the second prince are away all the year round, as long as the third prince is suppressed, then the eldest prince and the second prince have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the king, and then it will depend on who is more skilled.

The old king, Kondo, narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light shone from his eyes. The scepter handed out in his hand trembled, and finally handed it over to the third prince.

"Emperor, from today onwards, you will be the crown prince of the kingdom, go and give a toast to a few old courtiers who have worked for the country for many years. ”

Ignoring these courtiers who opposed the three princes' ascension to the throne again, Kondo Tamagami talked to himself and directly gave the three princes a look.
