Chapter 83: Draw lots to become king
As soon as they heard this, the tourists in the hall couldn't help but raise their voices again.
Originally, the puzzles in those heads had not been solved, but now it was good, and the strange things were like dropping bombs, which caught people off guard.
Before that, even in fairy tales, there didn't seem to be such a bridge as today.
Who would have thought that such a rich and beautiful country lacked nothing but a king?
Moreover, it is unthinkable and unheard of to have to choose a person from among the tourists to be their king.
"Hey...... Listen to me, listen to me first! Niu Zongzheng didn't expect such a strong reaction from everyone, and tried to maintain discipline at the moment, but he couldn't hold it back.
"Ah, sir! My lord! At this time, one of the tourists couldn't help but ask, "I don't know, did we hear it wrong, do you mean to choose one of us to be your king?" ”
"No, no!" Who knows, Niu Zongzheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We do want to choose the king, but there are conditions!" Later, we will be a young man, and we will send some professional physiognomy masters to see the faces of the VIPs, and only those who are recognized by the physiognomy will be designated as candidates. Other non-descendants of Yan and Huang and descendants of the Win clan will be disqualified. However, we will still be treated as VIPs, so please rest assured! ”
The old man's words naturally could not satisfy everyone, and soon someone asked one after another:
"So, whoever is a candidate will become your king? What if there are too many candidates selected? Do you still have to screen or compete? ”
"yes? Even if he becomes your king, what will the king enjoy? ”
"Who is the physiognomy master, is he face-to-face? If no one is compatible, then it will be in vain? ”
“……”
"Oh, guys, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!" Niu Zongzheng motioned for everyone to be quiet, "When the old man finishes speaking, it's not too late for you to ask again!" Ladies and gentlemen......"
The hall was full of people, and the old man's words could not be heard far away at all, and there was still chaos at the moment.
At this time, Han Feng finally couldn't sit still, he immediately stood up and shouted, and then repeated the old man's words aloud.
"Please, big guy! Please, okay? Han Feng shouted at everyone, "You use your brains to ponder, people haven't finished speaking, what's the use of you talking to yourself no matter how fierce you are?" Let's pay attention to the quality, okay!? ”
As soon as Han Feng said this, everyone restored order and completely quieted down.
"Ahem......" Niu Zongzheng cleared his throat and continued, "I know that the distinguished guests have a lot of questions, and it is not too late to ask them again when they are all finished!" In fact...... That is true!
"The ancestor Jun Fang Gong once left a testament, and I Yingzhou people have kept it in mind from generation to generation, and I dare not slack off. Please rest assured, as long as you comply with the requirements of the standard, you will definitely be able to become one of the candidates for the king, and you will have the opportunity to be the lord of Yingzhou.
"Once you become a king, you are naturally the head of a country, and you are admired by all people and enjoy supreme rights. However, having said that, there are some requirements for this. These conditions are customized by the ancestors and cannot be changed. Next, please listen to the old decay and come one by one.
"First of all, the physiognomist will look at each VIP, and as long as they meet the criteria, they can become one of the candidates. However, there is one thing that the ancestors require very clearly, they must be the descendants of Yan and Huang, or the descendants of the Ying clan, to be eligible.
"You must know that since you are a descendant, only men can run for election, and women will not be selected. However, it cannot be said that all women are not qualified! Because the ancestors also said that the descendants of the Ying family can also be elected, that is to say, although it is a daughter, if you agree with the standards of the descendants of the Ying family, you can also become our female king! ”
Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly, and then continued to explain:
"As for, what kind of people can echo the descendants of Yan and Huang, and what kind of people can be called the descendants of the Ying family, we all have a set of mature standards, please rest assured, our physiognomy masters are professionals passed down from generation to generation, and they will never be mistaken!
"At this moment, the phase masters are already on standby in the background, and everyone should make up their own minds when it comes to what is right and which is wrong!"
Seeing the tourists contemplating and thinking, Niu Zongzheng took a sip of tea and said:
"Of course, everyone will not be able to figure out, if there are too many candidates, then who should be the king in the end?" The old man stroked his gray beard and said to himself, "Actually, the answer is very simple, that is, to draw lots!! ”
Wow!
No way!?
Wouldn't it be too child's work to draw lots to be king?
Everyone couldn't help but want to make noise again, but Han Feng said it first, and everyone couldn't make a sound, so they all turned their heads and ears in a low voice.
"Distinguished guests, I know that the lottery is indeed unfair," Niu Zongzheng said solemnly, "but in fact, this is all arranged in the ancestors' testament!"
"Junfang Gong's testament wrote: But all the descendants of Yan and Huang from outside, the descendants of the Ying family, will be my king! The single one is lifelong, the two are rotated, and there are many tacit rules. However, those who marry and have children are not postscripted, and they are not hereditary.
This legacy was later perfected by my ancestors, and then published to the public, and adhered to from generation to generation.
"That is, if only one eligible candidate comes to our country, then this person will be the king of our country for life. But the children he gave birth to cannot be hereditary, and need to be returned to the common people.
"So, what if there are two candidates? That's a one-year rotation, you should be this year, and I will be next year, until a new person comes, or someone dies.
"Further down, three people, one person and one season; four people, one for one month; Five people, one person a week...... And so on, if there are more than ten people, each person can only be the emperor for one hour at a time! ”
Wow......
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
One hour in ancient times is equal to two hours in modern times, that is, the person who wins the lottery can only be the emperor for two hours!?
This......
While everyone was thinking to themselves, five men in official uniforms had come up to the table, each with a long table in front of them, and on the table was an item similar to a measuring tape.
"Okay, in order to save everyone's time, our physiognomy officer is ready, and the VIPs can start." Niu Zongzheng pointed to the masters and said, "Candidates who pass the verification will be given a bamboo stick marked with a specific pattern for the lottery later." Those who do not pass are invited to rest in this hall and we will treat them as state guests. Please...... I don't know, who came first? ”
