Chapter 422: Entering the game and waiting for the night to knock on the door
At the time of the founding of the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom, the average human lifespan on Earth had reached 93 years.
And kings and rich people who pay attention to health and have that condition, there is no problem in living over 100 years old.
But the king of the Middle East, even now, has an average age of only 67 years old, which is 2 years lower than the average age of people in the asteroid belt, which makes people have to sigh that the king of the desert is really a dangerous profession.
When Nabhani was founded, he felt this age and invented the 'qualification for succession to the throne of the right age'.
It probably means that those who are over the age limit and not enough do not need to participate in the struggle for inheritance rights.
Well, the kings of the Middle East are many talented, and they are all inventors.
Nabhani also invented the 'business merit inheritance system.' ’
It's like a trial, they all take the same money, and then run it, legal projects, whoever will make money, can prove their ability, and have more inheritance advantages.
In fact, these are all leftovers from the ancients, and there are many loopholes, for example, a certain prince's maiden family is powerful, a certain prince has network resources, and a certain prince secretly colludes with outsiders to make transactions......
But in any case, adding more restrictions can indeed reduce the intensity of power transfer to a certain extent. Theoretically, there is the support of the king, and the one who is valued by it has more advantages, and all kinds of resources are tilted, as long as it is not too funny, it can be done.
Moreover, Nabhani also made an abdication age, he believed that when people reach 80, physical, mental and other factors are not suitable to continue to be kings. So he abdicated at the age of 80.
Issa's succession to the throne went well, and everything looked good.
Nabhani died the following year after a horse fall, and lived to be 98 years old, which is very good.
When he was alive, his sons did not dare to make a mistake, and when he died, someone began to produce moths.
Issa died in a plane crash, and according to the memory that Abbas left to Xu Changqing, it was indeed an accident, not a murder.
Issa is very capable, and he can also put on a show, and he has a bit of the taste of Gaddafi back then, but he is not like Lao Ka, who is still very good at being a person. Died because of the support for domestic products, more than 85% of the self-produced aircraft, and as a result, they fell.
Abbas was the heir in line, not Issa's most valued son, otherwise he would not have studied medicine.
Because there are rules for the time of abdication and the appropriate age for succession, the specific start time of the heir trial is also more said.
Issa's death coincided with the end of the heir trial and the birth of the crown prince, so he died at an inopportune time. There is no crown prince, and the heir to the throne, Abbas, is not so good.
It was in this context that Humamu, one of Isa's younger brothers, usurped power.
Ignoring the true heir cultivated by Issa, he accused the heir in line of succession, Abbas, of not being able to take on the responsibility of the king, and then mobilized a group of emirs (chiefs, princes), imams (religious worshippers, respected imams), and sheikh (clan elders, patriarchs) to make a general election and ascend to the throne.
Abbas's mother, Princess Samiyah, was a man of understanding, and she said to her son: "Humamu has just ascended to the throne and needs to reassure people, and it is safe for you to leave this circle of right and wrong, and live a different life to realize your ambitions." ”
Abbas respected his mother very much, and indeed had the ideal of curing the sick and saving people since he was a child, so he left.
He didn't go to the asteroid belt at first, but to the moon. There are poor people everywhere, there are also people on the moon, and the lack of light industry makes it difficult for the poor there to meet even the most basic needs of daily necessities, let alone medicine.
After Abbas went there, he gradually experienced all kinds of darkness, and then he was angry and killed people with medicine, so he ran to the asteroid belt.
But the young man who originally took the ideal of helping the world and saving the people is no longer there, and he is carrying human life on his back, which makes him a little sneaky and neurotic, and the rotten place in the asteroid belt also allows him to see more of the lower limit of human nature, and he begins to rely on drugs, and even changes his own medicine until he plays himself to death.
The special car carrying Xu Changqing's final arrival place died in Larsa, Larsa is an ancient city that existed before the advent of the Code of Hammurabi, and the royal capital of the Neo-Babylonian Kingdom is naturally the city of Neo-Babylon, but the first image of the kingdom, the Hanging Garden, that is, the Hanging Garden, is in Larsa.
In the past, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. If you have money, you can naturally have fine clothes and food, and if you don't have money, even if you are a royal family, you will live in embarrassment.
Inheritance has always been a very important issue in human history, in ancient times, even if it was a princess and princess, it was difficult to guarantee the inheritance of wealth, and the modern situation is better, get out of the fund or something, and the rules and regulations are clear to give material security, but it is difficult to say things like usurpation, such as the usurper will question the source and distribution of the predecessor's property.
Whether there is a problem or not is all in the winner's words, the specific is often to bully the soft and fear the hard, weigh the pros and cons, and take away some people.
Princess Samiyah is one of the more unlucky soft persimmons, and an important reason is that her maiden family, Abdul, is an important supporter of Humamu.
This is a bit embarrassing, the father-in-law partnered with outsiders to encroach on his son-in-law's business, and then wrapped up the property of his daughter and grandson. But this situation is not uncommon in this place, because this old man has many sons-in-law, and in terms of status within the family, daughters are not as important as sons.
This is also a tradition that has been passed down since ancient times, it is the need for survival, and only those who can fight hard have the right to inherit. On the other hand, if you can't fight, you won't be able to protect your property, and you may even cause trouble because of it.
So when Xu Changqing met Samiyah, Samiyah lived in a small house of dozens of square meters, and being able to maintain such a little dignity was the joke that Humamu and Abdul's family did not want to see the former princess on the street on the news.
In fact, soon after the brain plug took over Zahid's body, he began to send Samiyah a fixed amount of money every month, which was not very much, but it was enough to keep Samiyah free of food and clothing.
However, Samiyah also has two daughters, both of whom have several children in the family, and her son-in-law's job is also unstable, so she is making up for it. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble at home.
Samiyah was naturally very happy to see his son, who had been separated for more than ten years, but at the same time, he was very worried about his son's health. This is not unfounded, generally leaving the earth for more than five years to go to space, coming back will be uncomfortable, more serious than the fatigue of trekking through mountains and rivers and tiring boats in ancient times.
Of course, this worry is superfluous, Xu Changqing's main environment in which he usually lives, the gravity is about 1.5G, which is the gravity of the planet of life in the extreme world, he has lived there for many years, and he has been used to it, so he has always taken it as the standard.
After all, Samiyah is a person who has been a princess, and she still has a vision, and when she sees her son's pomp, she feels that something is wrong.
Mary is a very typical kind of loyal and heartfelt personal bodyguard, which can be described as having no eyes to spare, and her attention basically does not leave Xu Changqing, even when communicating with others.
The other four, even the highest-level security personnel, are cold and serious, all of them are paralyzed, and they don't look like people who grew up in the asteroid belt at all, and they feel tougher and murderous than the earthlings who are engaged in violent occupations.
It's normal to have evil spirits, after all, these four people have dozens of lives in their hands.
This time I didn't bring them to show off, but there was a real need.
The little ability he has now is at most an internal show, and without external telepathic perception, it is possible that his head will be blown into a rotten watermelon by a sniper bullet.
After catching up with Samier, Xu Changqing proposed to go to the hotel where he stayed, and then he was bound to get together with his two sisters' family, and this small house couldn't be crowded.
The hotel is not the best, but it is also first-class, with more than 10 large and small rooms, and Xu Changqing has chartered a whole floor on the top floor.
As soon as Samiyah saw this arrangement, he knew that Xu Changqing was really not bad for money, and said that his son had gone to the asteroid belt to be a king in the past few years? Otherwise, even if there is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the asteroid belt, doctors will not earn more than dentists in the past, right?
Xu Changqing took the opportunity to take out the prepared rhetoric, which probably means that after the Constantine incident, I am also a social celebrity in the asteroid belt. Relying on this, he has done a series of money-making businesses, and he is also an important leader of an organization.
This time I came back, there are many purposes, one of which is to take the initiative to break the matter of the throne clearly, if Samiyah is willing, you can join him, don't dare to say anything else, the mother is expensive with the son, and it is no problem to arrange a good living environment. There is no shortage of Arabs and residential areas in the asteroid belt, so you can't build your own.
Samiyah was dumbfounded, and his heart said to you, how big is this organization, how big is the leader? Such a big breath?
In fact, Xu Changqing is used to it, isn't it just a space station and a colony, that's a thing? The third fleet opened by Baowei Wu can build an exclusive one in minutes, and it is no problem to play the pattern of a holy city on the white sand.
Before he could wait for the next day, someone came to the door, not the same group as the previous pick-up, but the group represented McJid, the half-brother who was three years younger than Abbas and Issa's valued successor.
McJid's maternal line is the Mustafa family, which is one of the largest families in Neo-Babylon, and McJid's mother also has a high status in the Mustafa family, with a master's degree in finance from Harvard Business School and an MBA graduate......
Humamu dies violently, and McGid is one of the active contenders for the throne, hoping to set things right and get back on track with his son inheriting his father's business.
However, since the crown prince has not yet been decided, according to legal theory, Abbas is the first in line to the throne, because he is the eldest of the eligible heirs.
Of course, some of them are older, but those few were disqualified because they were too old long before the Crown Prince Trial.
It was the men of Ahmad's line, the son of Hummam, and his own brother Amr, who came in the evening.
Humamu injured his descendants in a military accident, and his heirship structure is relatively thin, and there are only three sons who have the right to inherit, two of whom were born to one mother, that is, Ahmad and Amur.
Although Hu Mamu is a brother and a superior, in terms of succession, he tends to 'inherit the father's business'.
Therefore, after he came to power, he supported his important son Ahmed to form a powerful team, and asked him to represent Neobabylon in international conferences and participate in international affairs several times, which can be regarded as well-intentioned.
Ahmed wants to be on top, but he can't get around Abbas either. After all, Humamu is not righteous, you can be a brother and a brother when you come to power, and when you pass on the throne, you will become a son inheriting your father's business, and you will be able to occupy all the reasons in the world.
Amur came to pretend to be more forced, Xu Changqing can understand, after all, although Hu Mamu is dead, one of his family still holds a lot of real power in the country.
However, Amur can neither be a man nor do things, even if he is arrogant, and his request is also funny, and he even asked Abbas to come forward and publicly announce his support for Ahmed's succession.
Xu Changqing smiled at Amur, who had a face of 'if you dare not agree, you will look good', and said in a harmonious voice: "Originally, I was not interested in participating in this rotten thing. But you pull a hand that is so hateful. This is called taking death in a way, if you want it, I will give it to you. ”
Amur changed color on the spot, and he was about to call for someone to do it, but it's a pity that he and his people were the opponents of serious psychopaths? These madmen have simply trained themselves into biological weapons, and the comprehensive index of physique has reached the limit of human beings. The combat skills were also instilled by Xu Changqing himself, and he was experienced, and Amur and his people were knocked unconscious or subdued on the spot without even making a sound.
Because his neck was stuck by Mari, the suffocating Amur quickly felt the pain of dying, his face turned the color of pig liver, and his eyes looking at Xu Changqing were full of begging and pleading.
Xu Changqing still had a warm smile on his face: "Don't worry, how could I kill you?" That's a waste. ”……
