I only heard the Dragon King of the East China Sea sigh and said with a tired look: "This king is already tired, and this East China Sea should also choose a new king." ”

After these words fell, not only did my complexion change, but the officials in this hall quickly knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty think twice." ”

The voices of all the people sounded in this hall, all of them persuaded the Dragon King of the East China Sea not to abdicate.

The third prince also shouted respectfully.

Some of them have already kowtowed to tears, and begged: "Your Majesty, you have ruled the East China Sea for 500 years, and you have never made any mistakes. ”

The Dragon King of the East China Sea sat on it at this time, with a tired look between his eyebrows.

I also bowed my head and leaned over. Don't dare to speak at this time.

Through the afterglow, I saw the Dragon King of the East China Sea raise his hand and gently tap on the table, fingers, clicks.

The sound of "dong dong dong" sounded in this huge palace.

The atmosphere became a little dreary. After a pause, he said lightly: "Everyone, please get up, this king is already old." ”

"Your Majesty thinks twice."

"Your Majesty, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea can't live without you."

"Your Majesty is eternal, and at this time when the South China Sea is happening, Your Majesty should take us to open up the future."

Everyone said so much, they just didn't want the Dragon King of the East China Sea to step down. But I don't know how many are sincere. Because the three princes all opened their mouths to beg for the Dragon King of the East China Sea not to abdicate, saying that his father was brave and did not lose back then, and my Dragon Palace would be more brilliant under the leadership of his father.

The third prince should want to be the Dragon King of the East China Sea the most, and he has coveted this position for more than a hundred years.

The words of the Dragon King of the East China Sea not only did not calm the emotions of the ministers, but also made them even more excited.

"This king's will has been decided, so don't say more." As he spoke, the Dragon King of the East China Sea slowly stood up, flicked his sleeves, and slowly walked towards the door on the left side of the main hall, and the official next to him shouted: "Retreat." ”

The ministers of the East China Sea are just trying to say something, and they don't have a chance.

They shook their heads and walked out, wiping away the tears and snot from their faces as they went.

I stood in the main hall and didn't leave, and the third prince and the ninth princess also stayed.

The third prince walked up to me and said ruthlessly: "Zhang Yan, this prince tells you that you don't covet the throne of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, will you let you sit as an outsider in the Dragon King position?" "His face was full of anger, and he looked like he wanted to strangle me to death.

I stared at him, without showing weakness, and I slowly spoke: "Whether I sit on the throne of the Dragon King of the East China Sea or not, is it up to you, or is it up to Your Majesty?" ”

"You ......," he pointed to my nose.

"Third brother." The ninth princess suddenly called out to the third prince.

At this time, the officials beside the Dragon King of the East China Sea came over and said to me: "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty has asked you to live in the East China Sea temporarily for a few days, and if you have any problems, I will consult with you at any time." ”

I hummed and explained.

He quickly beckoned to a servant girl and said to her, "Take Master Zhang to bed." ”

The handmaiden should be respectful.

The third prince's face was already gloomy, and the words of the dragon king just now were equivalent to saying that I still have a chance to become the dragon king of the East China Sea.

I followed the maidservant to the outside of the main hall, and the ninth princess chased after me, and I asked the ninth princess, "Do you have anything to do?" ”

The ninth princess said to me, "Zhang Yan, do you really want to be the Dragon King of the East China Sea?" ”

I listened to the tone of the ninth princess's speech, and I also wanted to persuade me, so I asked rhetorically: "Do you think I can be it?" ”

The ninth princess had an unpleasant relationship with me before for Dayu's three treasures, and she has been safeguarding the interests of the East China Sea.

The ninth princess had a stern face and said to me: "Since the East China Sea has had the Dragon Palace, it has always been the Dragon Clan to serve as the Dragon King, and it has never changed in the past ten million years, Zhang Yan, I don't think you have a chance." Rather than fail at this time, it is better to take the initiative to quit now. ”

The maidservant opened her mouth and said, "Lord Zhang, the ninth princess, do you need the slave and maid to step down?" ”

I waved my hand and said no.

The maidservant's face was frightened and a little uneasy. The eyes of the ninth princess were sharp, forming a kind of oppression.

"What if I don't go back?"

"You can't be the Dragon King, it's definitely a wise choice to quit early."

"The pattern of your East China Sea hasn't changed for thousands of years, can't it change?" My tone is not soft, and after saying this, I said to the maidservant, "You lead the way." It's not up to me to decide whether I should be the Dragon King of the East China Sea, but it's not up to her Ninth Princess to decide.

The ninth princess still wants to catch up.

I said to her, "Don't waste your efforts, I'm not going to quit." ”

She froze, stood still, and I didn't look back.

Soon we arrived at the house, and the maidservant made my bed and asked me, "Master Zhang, do you want something to eat?" ”

I said that I had worked hard, and asked the maid to step down.

The maidservant led me to the place, it was an independent house, I was alone in the house at this time, I poured myself a cup of tea, and then called Li Chuntian out, the situation in the East China Sea, I discussed with Li Chuntian's seniors, it should be better.

After Li Chuntian came out of my paperwork, he saw that I was in the Dragon Palace, stroked his white beard, and said with a smile: "It seems that the time has come." ”

I hummed.

Li Chuntian's ingenuity naturally goes without saying. The current situation in the East China Sea, he should also be clear.

I didn't hesitate, and said straight to the point: "Senior Li, what should I do now?" ”

Li Chuntian opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Yan, what you have to do now is to respond to all changes with the same, almost no one in the East China Sea will support you as the Dragon King of the East China Sea." ”

I expected that, too.

I said to Li Chuntian: "Even if you can't be the Dragon King of the East China Sea, it's nothing. ”

Li Chuntian retorted and said, "Then it doesn't matter if you can't be the Son of Heaven?" ”

When I say what my master tells me to do, I will naturally do my best to do it.

"Then you are going to be the Dragon King of the East China Sea, do you think that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces on your master's side can support you? If you don't have your own power, and you fight with Hu Su, it's like a mantis arm being a car and not being able to do anything about it. Zhang Yan, you are no longer the same person you used to be, and now you should take a long-term view, and you can't just look at the present. ”

Li Chuntian's words woke me up.

I hummed and said, "It's me who didn't think it through." ”

Li Chuntian said lightly: "It's not too late, there will definitely be snowflakes like snowflakes in the next few days, and it will be handed to the Dragon King of the East China Sea." ”

I looked at Li Chuntian suspiciously.

Li Chuntian said to me: "The content of these recitals is similar, but they are generally divided into two types. ”

"Which two?"

Li Chuntian said: "One is to persuade His Majesty the Dragon King to continue to be in power, and it is best to be a thousand generations and live the same life as the sky, and the second is definitely to recommend candidates to the Dragon King intentionally or unintentionally, which is nothing more than praising the third prince's benevolence and majesty." ”

Speaking of this, Li Chuntian suddenly paused.

I stared at Li Chuntian, waiting for him to say the following.

"There seems to be a third one."

I ask what is the third one?

A meaningful smile appeared on Li Chuntian's face, and he said leisurely: "The third type is definitely to impeach you, saying that you are immoral and incompetent, and you have no dragon bloodline, so that Your Majesty will think twice about revoking your qualifications, and even asking for your life." ”

Did I say I could do it?

Li Chuntian said, it's too guilty, if you die, the location of this Dragon Palace will always belong to the Dragon Clan. In the past few days, the river gods and the land of the dragon clan from all over the country will rush to the Dragon Palace, and it seems that there will be no peaceful days in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea in the past few days.

I continued: "Do you know about the awakening of the South China Sea Blood Dragon, seniors? ”

Li Chuntian's face appeared in shock, and he asked me, the blood dragon has appeared? And is it in the South China Sea?

I said yes, the South China Sea also summoned all the four seas to discuss the four seas in the near future.

Li Chuntian laughed and said, "No wonder I always feel uneasy in your underworld documents these days, it turns out that so many things have happened in the Four Seas Dragon Palace. ”

I hummed and said, "I still helped awaken the South China Sea Blood Dragon." ”

"Huh?" Li Chuntian looked at it suspiciously.

I told me the cause and effect, Li Chuntian told me that the blood dragon is the emperor of the four seas, and her appearance will change the pattern of the four seas, but I never imagined that the one who helped the blood dragon awaken would actually be a foreigner.

"Could it be because of my share of blessings?"

Li Chuntian said lightly: "It's possible." ”

At this, he paused again, and then said something that made me scratch my head.
