Chapter 150: Carrying the Mandate of Heaven

Palace of the King of Qin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the state was restored, the little apprentice and Mu Feng walked into the palace together, accompanied by naturally two pets, Xiaobai and Taiji.

The purpose of this trip has basically been completed, Qin Yi died, although he died at the hands of others, but it was also regarded as paying the price for his past mistakes.

Moreover, this kind of ending may be the best outcome for a young girl.

After all, Qin Yi, who reaped the consequences of his own evil, died at the hands of others, which was far more acceptable than a girl killing him with her own hands.

And the culprit who murdered her mother in the first place, the spies of the Tianhu clan who broke into the human race, had also died in triumph at the next moment when he thought that his plan for more than ten years had succeeded.

The girl also had some guesses about Concubine Li's plan, which was nothing more than a plot to seize the throne of Qin, and she was relying on the throne to control the entire Qin country.

With the cooperation of the inside and the outside, help the entire Sky Fox Clan, and even the entire Demon Beast Clan, to attack the rich land of Zhongzhou again.

The land of the Northern Plains, frozen for thousands of miles, has no living creatures for tens of thousands of miles, and is so desolate that it is not suitable for the survival of living beings at all.

Since being driven into the Northern Plains, the survival of the demon beast clan has become more and more difficult, and they have always thought that they can re-enter Zhongzhou and trample the human race under their feet.

At the beginning, Concubine Li came to the Qin State, just to make the life of her people better by controlling the Qin State.

It's just that ten years ago, Kong Sheng went deep into the land of southern Xinjiang, and he did not return for ten years, and his life and death were uncertain.

Ten years later, her ambitions have grown, and she is no longer satisfied with relying on the power of the Qin State to make it easier for her people to survive.

What she is plotting is the entire Qin State, the entire Zhongzhou, and the demon beast clan to regain the glory of the past.

It's a pity that as soon as the plan was implemented, before it was completely successful, Concubine Li died in the hands of the little apprentice, and her plan was eventually stillborn.

This time, the girl entered the palace, and there were two so-called things.

The first is to hold a funeral for Qin Yi, although he committed a wrong thing in his life, he never really repented until he died.

But when a person dies like a lamp goes out, all the grievances and grievances of life will be dispersed with the wind.

And after all, he is the biological father of the little apprentice, and in his final stage, as a child, it is reasonable to hold a beautiful funeral for him.

In the main hall of the Qin Palace, since Qin Yi went out, the civil and military officials have fallen into a tangle, and they don't know whether to go out with them.

And soon after, the news that King Qin had been assassinated and killed suddenly came, and at this moment the ambush was executed, and these civil and military officials were even more panicked.

Listening to the movement outside, they didn't know that this was a palace change.

Something similar has happened more than once in history, but not once has it not been bloody.

Now that Qin Yi is dead, with his loyalty to the previous king, he will only die faster.

Now, it's time for them to get back on their feet.

No matter what the truth of Qin Yi's death is, it doesn't matter now, what matters is how they team up and who they support to become the new king.

Qin Yi is thirty-four years old Chinese New Year's Eve, with seven concubines in the harem, leaving three princes, seven princesses, and one who is in exile, and has just returned today.

Among these people, only three princes are qualified to inherit the throne, after all, there has never been a woman on the throne in history.

Therefore, what they have to face now is to take sides among the three princes and choose a prince they support to inherit the throne.

And once they make a mistake in standing in line, there is no second result waiting for them except death.

Since ancient times, the change of royal power, which time has not been a river of blood?

Just when the ministers of the cultural relics were secretly thinking about how to stand in line, the three princes also got the news separately.

This is tantamount to a big surprise for them.

The most ruthless imperial family, although it was their biological father who was killed, the three princes did not have extra time to be sad.

Originally, according to Qin Yi's lifespan, it was not impossible to sit on the throne for another hundred years, they wanted to board the plane, and some waited.

However, just when they were not hopeful about it, Qin Yi was assassinated outside the palace.

This, how not to excite them?

I thought there was no day, but I didn't expect the light to come so suddenly.

At the first time, the three princes took their own actions, sending people to inform those of their henchmen, ready to seize power at any time.

And the three princes all changed into formal clothes and walked out of their palace gates, heading towards the court.

There is the real place of the change of royal power, and only there can we truly get the royal power and carry the mandate of heaven.

When the three princes felt the court, it was the moment when Concubine Li fell outside the palace gate.

The first to arrive was the second prince.

The second prince is the only son of Concubine Li.

Of course, he is not the only child born to Concubine Li, in fact, after him, Concubine Li also gave birth to a daughter, but on the day of the daughter's 100th birthday, after being visited by another more favored concubine, she somehow died.

For this reason, the concubine, who was originally a favored concubine, was executed on the spot by the King of Qin and sent to the cold palace.

At that time, the second prince, who was just three years old, witnessed the truth of everything with his own eyes, and what he saw with his own eyes was his biological mother, Concubine Li, after the concubine visited and left, she covered the mouth and nose of his biological sister with the swaddling clothes in her hand, and let her suffocate to death.

Everything Concubine Li did did not avoid him at the age of three, back then, he was so scared that he cried, but under the scolding of his mother, he finally held back his fear and recognized the reality.

It was from then on that he knew that there was no family affection between him and his mother, that she used him to gain favor, and that he used her favor to seek the throne, and that's it.

It is precisely because of this that at the age of three, he has learned how to make himself cold-blooded and how to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

The second to arrive was the Great Prince.

The mother of the eldest prince is a former queen.

It's a pity that three years ago, witchcraft suddenly appeared in the palace, and the victim was the mother of the eldest prince, the concubine of King Qin, and the former queen.

And that time, it was found that she had assassinated the queen with the witchcraft of stabbing the villain, but it was another more favored concubine.

For this reason, a villainous catastrophe caused the death of the two concubines of the King of Qin, and since then, the magic of witchcraft has become a felony for the surprise of discovering that someone is studying the nine clans.

It's just that the eldest prince knows that the death of his mother was definitely not the work of the former concubine. For on the day his mother died, he stayed in the boudoir of the concubine.

That villain was definitely put into the concubine's room by someone later, but although he knew it, he didn't dare to say it, because he was a prince, but he stayed in the concubine's bedroom, and it was also a capital crime to be known by King Qin.

But he understood that his queen mother was not killed by the concubine, and the real murderer was someone else.

After that, he secretly investigated, although there was no clear evidence, but everything pointed to one person - Concubine Li.

She is the biggest beneficiary of the original incident!

It is precisely because of this that the eldest prince and the second prince are almost on the same page, as soon as they walked into the court, after seeing the second prince arriving first, the eldest prince's face was directly gloomy.

After the two princes, the third prince came belatedly.

Among the three princes, the one with the least chance of competing for the throne is the third prince, because this year, the third prince is just seven years old and is still a child.

And one of the main reasons is that the third prince is not favored, and it can even be said that he is not treated by the first king Qin Yi.

Because, his mother, who relied on herself to be favored by the previous king, secretly used witchcraft to kill the queen and wanted to sit on the queen's seat.

Above the court, three princes who never went to court in order to avoid suspicion gathered together.

When their biological father was outside the gate of the corpse palace, they did not want to collect the corpse first, nor did they consider burying the former king first, but ...... Here the struggle for the throne began.

The replacement of the throne has never been a simple matter, especially when the first king died suddenly and did not leave a testament, there were countless murderous motives hidden.

In the court, in order to compete for the throne, the three princes used their own means for a while, and the supporters of the three princes also attracted popularity to the princes they supported.

The scene was once so hot that a certain talent show was canvassing for the final champion, and it didn't look like the solemnity of a country that had just died of a monarch.

Since ancient times, it has been a rule that the throne has been inherited by the eldest son.

No one can refute this, but the supporters of the second prince said that the royal power has been lived by capable people since ancient times, and the second prince is outstanding.

In this regard, others could not refute it, because although the second prince was younger than the eldest prince, his qualifications were against the sky, and his cultivation realm was even higher than that of the eldest prince, who was nearly ten years older than him.

As for the third prince, in the eyes of everyone, he is a joke.

And his supporters, even if they are not qualified to enter this court, naturally no one can speak for him to fight for the throne.

It seems that the new king will be born among the eldest prince or the second prince, but if you want to ascend the throne, you not only need the support of the civil and military ministers, but more importantly, you must carry the mandate of heaven.

Without the Mandate of Heaven, it is not good in terms of being justified, and even if he forcibly ascends the throne, he cannot make the hundreds of millions of people of the Qin State submit.

Therefore, although the eldest prince and the second prince have more supporters, the third prince is not without opportunities.

Because if the eldest prince and the second prince are not recognized by the mandate of heaven, in the end, the throne may still fall to the third prince.

Therefore, in order to elect the new king fairly and openly, after a war of words, none of the three princes and the civil and military officials could convince anyone.

In the end, the helpless people decided to follow the rules left by their ancestors - to draw lots!

Whoever has the number first, who touches the king's seal first, can be recognized by heaven, and has the mandate of heaven, he is the new king.

There is no objection to this.

And as a result of drawing lots, the second prince lived up to expectations and caught No. 1, the first to touch the Wang Yin, No. 2, was caught by the eldest prince, looking at the No. 1 in the hands of the second prince, his face was pale.

But seeing that the third prince didn't even have the qualifications to choose, his mood was a little more balanced.

"Hehe, eldest brother, third brother, it seems that the ancestors still have their hearts on me, and I will take this throne!"

Shaking the No. 1 bamboo slip in his hand, the second prince was a little proud on his face.

Carrying the mandate of heaven, as long as it is the blood of the royal family, there are very few who are not recognized by the way of heaven, so basically whoever touches the royal seal first will lock the throne 90%.

Thinking of this, the second prince walked up to the throne with a proud face, looked at the royal seal that was close at hand, and gave birth to a right hand that was more slender and slender than a woman, and wanted to touch the royal seal.

It's just that, at this moment, a voice came from the door of the main hall of the court.

"I think, you, don't qualify!"

The voice was indifferent and ruthless, which made everyone, including the second prince, subconsciously stunned.

Then, everyone's eyes invariably looked outside the hall.
