Chapter 358: The Regent's Worries
Seeing the regent Xiang Fan walk in, the three people in the office immediately stood up and saluted respectfully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Teacher, why are you here?" Li Zhengye asked cautiously with a smile on his face.
Xiang Fan glanced at Li Zhengye angrily, "You kid, why did you suddenly learn well?" He deliberately let Xiao Muchen take me away for dinner, but he came here to fight for Chen Xing? ”
Li Zhengye said with a wry smile: "Teacher, this is also the internal matter of our Northern Border Army, so I didn't dare to disturb the teacher." ”
Xiang Fan said: "Fortunately, I asked Xiao Muchen to go to Chen Xing to eat together, only to find out that he was called away by you, otherwise, when you finish dividing him, I won't even be able to drink the soup!" ”
Chen Xingdun couldn't laugh or cry when he listened to the discussion of several people.
The situation just now where the corps commander Mo Beiqing and the commander-in-chief Li Zhengye competed with each other already made him not know what to do.
Now there is an even more heavyweight contender -- the Northern Regent.
It's really hilarious.
Xiang Fan no longer paid attention to Li Zhengye and said to Chen Xing: "Chen Xing, I am the regent, you have to listen to me." ”
"Yes, Lord Regent."
Chen Xing couldn't disobey a regent.
Seeing the attitude of the regent Xiang Fan, Li Zhengye and Mo Beiqing glanced at each other with a wry smile, neither of them dared to say much.
Xiang Fan's temper, they all know.
No one can help what the old man decides.
What's more, Chen Xing can be favored by Xiang Fan, which can be regarded as a rare opportunity in 10,000 years, Li Zhengye and Mo Beiqing will certainly not lose a big one because of a small one.
Xiang Fan was also full of joy, "Hahahaha, it's been a long time since I've been so happy!" Today I have a treat, Chen Xing, Xiao Li and Xiao Mo are also here, and they will have a good drink with me for a while! ”
In Xiang Fan's ranking, Chen Xing had obviously been photographed in front of Commander-in-Chief Li Zhengye.
Moreover, when the two saw that Chen Xing had already decided, they no longer had any more calculations in their hearts.
Li Zhengye smiled helplessly: "The teacher has given orders, how dare the students disobey?" ”
Mo Beiqing also said with a smile: "It's a great honor to be able to eat with the regent, how many people are vying for it, and there may not be a chance!" ”
Xiang Fan smiled and said, "Come on!" Look at your cautious eyes, don't worry, I don't want to snatch Chen Xing, I'm just borrowing it from you! ”
"Borrow!?"
Li Zhengye and Mo Beiqing's eyes immediately bloomed with a glimmer of hope.
Xiang Fan nodded, "That's right, I just borrowed Chen Xing for a while and asked Chen Xing to do me a favor." ”
"When the matter is over, I will let Chen Xing return to the Northern Border Army."
"At that time, whether he wants to go to the Hellfire Legion or go to the direct headquarters, that's his own choice."
"Let me tell you the truth, the ultimate goal of my private visit to Weifu is actually to find someone who can help me!"
Hearing Xiang Fan say this, Li Zhengye suddenly realized, "No wonder you came to the north without saying hello, teacher." ”
Chen Xing asked strangely: "Lord Regent, you are all masters of the war king level, and you are still in a high position, what else in this world do you need help from my junior?" ”
Xiang Fan pondered for a moment, "Okay, there are no outsiders here, I'll tell you the truth." Sit down, all of you—"
"Yes."
Li Zhengye, Mo Beiqing, and Chen Xing immediately sat down.
Xiang Fan sighed faintly, and only after a long time did he say with difficulty: "The king is dying." ”
"What?!"
Li Zhengye and Mo Beiqing, who had just sat down, all jumped up.
This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them!
In contrast, Chen Xing was not as surprised as Li Zhengye and Mo Beiqing, but frowned slightly.
He didn't have much emotion for the king of the Zhulu Empire, so he wouldn't be too surprised to hear the news that the king was going to die, but his first thought was that the Zhulu Empire was likely to start falling into turmoil.
Xiang Fan motioned for Li Zhengye and Mo Beiqing to sit down, and at the same time continued: "Actually, King Zhulu's health has always been very poor. Although I rescued him from a foreign race more than ten years ago, he was already seriously injured and could not be healed. ”
"For more than ten years, I myself have been tormented by the collision of the two elements, and the king has been tormented by the deadly toxin of the alien race."
"Fortunately, the king's own strength is not bad, and the king's identity allows him to use the resources of the entire empire, so he can continue to live until now."
"However, the toxins of the alien race have penetrated into his heart, and technology and resources are no longer able to treat him."
"He has about six months left in his life at most."
Speaking of this, Xiang Fan sighed deeply and continued:
"Although the king of Zhulu has no great achievements, he is not a wise monarch of the world, but he is not a faint monarch."
"When he is there, the Zhulu Empire can at least resist the oppression of the other three empires, and can also resist the invasion of foreign races. And all the forces in the country can also maintain stability. ”
"I'm afraid that if he leaves, the whole country will be troubled internally and externally, and it won't be long before the entire Zhulu Empire will collapse."
"When a country collapses, the losses of those in power, aristocrats, and the rich will not be great, but the worst is the common people."
"When the country prospers, the people suffer, and when the country dies, the people suffer even more!"
Xiang Fan sighed heavily.
Li Zhengye immediately comforted: "Teacher, don't worry. Even if His Majesty really can't do it, he still has four heirs to inherit the throne! ”
Xiang Fan said: "This is what I'm really worried about!" ”
"The eldest prince of the king of Zhulu, named Li Shixun, is eight years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he is a person who loves to form parties and engage in intrigues and tricks, and he can't make a big deal."
"The second prince of the Zhulu Empire, named Li Shijie, is five years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he is an arrogant and domineering fool with empty eyes, and he is even more embarrassed."
"The third princess of the Zhulu Empire, named Li Binglin, is twenty-nine years old this year, but she is kind-hearted and talented. It's a pity that her power foundation is too poor, and almost no one in the empire is optimistic about her. ”
"The fourth prince of the Zhulu Empire, named Li Shixiong, has just turned twenty-two this year, and is the birth of the king's current second queen. The second queen is the princess of the Running Wolf Empire, with the strong backing of the Running Wolf Empire, plus the four princes have been smart since childhood, and the ownership and noble forces of the Chasing Deer Empire are almost all towards him. ”
"It can be said that except for the third princess Li Binglin, the other three princes are not fuel-efficient lamps!"
"Once the old king dies, the four heirs will definitely fight to the death!"
"At that time, there will be chaos in the deer!"
Hearing this, Mo Beiqing couldn't help but say, "Then Lord Regent, you can suggest to His Majesty the King who will be the heir." ”
Xiang Fan shook his head, "It's not something that is recommended or not. Even if I suggested, and the king chose the heir according to my request, as soon as the king died, the other heirs would not be convinced! At that time, who will dare to suppress the children of rebellion? ”
Moreover, the king himself had not decided which heir he wanted to take to the throne. Therefore, he arranged a competition between the heirs, giving each of them a piece of land and letting them run it themselves. ”
"With a period of one month, based on the criteria of colonial population, economic achievements, military construction, and popular evaluation, the heir of the territory with the best governance results can inherit his throne."
Chen Xing shrugged, "But, what does this have to do with me?" ”
Xiang Fan said: "At the same time, the king asked each regent to nominate a helper to assist their favorite heirs. ”
"Chen Xing, I need you to represent me." (To be continued.) )
