Chapter 30: What is the use of what is at your fingertips?
The old man held his cane high and smashed it at King Xu.
King Xu's thigh was injured, and he couldn't dodge it, so he was hit hard.
"Presumptuous! You bad old man, you dare to beat a widow! ”
"I'm going to wake you up today!"
"Someone, someone, stop him for me."
"Whoever dares to stop me, I will beat him!"
The old man shouted.
An ordinary person, even the hand holding the cane was trembling, but the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one dared to step forward to stop the thousands of Praetorian Guards.
Because behind the old man, there was Xu Qianqiu.
"Damn, have you had enough!"
King Xu was beaten to the point of pain.
Standing on one foot, he dodged around the pillar.
The old man did not give up, and raised his crutches to chase after him.
The ministers looked at each other, looking at the scene in front of them, feeling like they were dreaming.
Where is this?
It is the Jinluan Palace of Xu State, the power center of Xu State.
But now, here, the dignified king of a country is chased and beaten by an old man with gray hair who even walks on crutches.
What a ridiculous scene.
"Really...... Strange stories through the ages. ”
Some ministers couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It seemed that he was tired, the old man leaned on the pillar and gasped, he looked at King Xu who was beaten not far away, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and the resentment in his heart seemed to have disappeared, and he just sighed.
"Linda, take the old gentleman down to rest."
Xu Qianqiu said lightly.
"Yes."
The old gentleman slowly walked out of the hall door with Lin Da's support.
When Xu Qianqiu passed, he bowed and bowed.
Xu Qianqiu also returned the salute.
It's all in plain sight.
"Rebel, you, what do you want to do."
King Xu looked at Xu Qianqiu, who was beaten by the old man, as if he had aged in an instant, his eyes were degraded, and there was a kind of twilight atmosphere.
"I made it very clear, you abdicate yourself, which is the last bit of dignity I left you." Xu Qianqiu said calmly.
"Abdicate, hehe, okay, the widow abdicates, the widow wants to see what kind of situation you can bring Xu Guo." King Xu smiled sadly.
Then he took off the crown, threw it on the ground, and walked slowly towards the temple gate.
As he walked, he was still muttering about the rebel, the rebel.
The whole image of a poor and helpless old man in the twilight.
Xu Qianqiu was silent, without the slightest wave in his heart.
Is King Xu pitiful?
No.
Leaving him alive to continue to live is already Xu Qianqiu's greatest kindness.
After King Xu left.
Xu Qianqiu slowly walked to the throne, then sat down, leaned on the throne, and lowered his eyes to look at the ministers below.
Those who are interested walked out and hurriedly said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and I also ask the eldest prince to succeed to the throne as soon as possible and hold an enthronement ceremony." ”
"Yes, please take the throne as soon as possible."
"Please take the throne as soon as possible."
The ministers echoed one by one.
Xu Qianming looked at Xu Qianqiu sitting on the throne and smiled miserably.
Lost.
He lost completely.
And Xu Qianqiu sat on the throne, sneered, and said: "The king of a country, heh, what is the use of such a low-hanging fruit?" ”
Xu Qianqiu's words were amazing.
The crowd was stunned.
What?
Xu Qianqiu doesn't plan to ascend the throne?
He doesn't want this supreme position, so what does he want?
"The eldest prince has both ability and political integrity, and the people want it, if you don't inherit the throne, then who else can inherit it?"
Some ministers wondered.
"Come on, bring a stick."
Stickers?
What do you want that thing to do?
Everyone was puzzled.
Soon, someone from the palace brought a stick, and Xu Qianqiu took out some of it and threw it away, leaving only a few.
Then he said lightly to Xu Qianshan, Xu Qianjiao and other royal children: "You all come forward, one person smokes one." ”
Seeing this scene, everyone already had some guesses in their hearts.
Xu Qianming's pupils trembled, he stood up suddenly, and shouted and scolded: "Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!" You actually used the ridiculous method of drawing lots to decide the ownership of the throne! Xu Qianqiu, are you crazy?! ”
Xu Qianming was unwilling to accept it.
That's the throne.
It's him who has been fighting for the throne for more than ten years.
But now.
was used by Xu Qianqiu to determine the ownership of the throne with this almost absurd approach, which made his efforts in the past ten years like a joke.
How could he possibly accept it.
"Now here, I've got the final say."
Xu Qianqiu glanced at the other party, "In addition, your matter is not over yet, and I will slowly settle it with you later." ”
"You, you ......" Xu Qianming's face turned red and he couldn't speak.
Soon.
The results of the draw are in.
In addition to Xu Qianqiu and Xu Qianming, King Xu has nine children, and among these people, only one person has been drawn to the lottery.
That is the sixth princess, Xu Qianjiao.
"Congratulations to the sixth sister on her ascension to the throne."
Xu Qianqiu smiled, got up and patted his buttocks, "Please." ”
There is no nostalgia for the throne.
Xu Qianjiao looked at the sign in her hand, feeling like she was dreaming, and then looked at the throne beside Xu Qianqiu, looking confused.
What's the situation?
I, I'm going to be king?
How can I be king?
"Qianjiao, don't hurry up and thank you, big brother."
Xu Qianjiao's mother, Concubine Hui, was the first to react and hurriedly said.
"Oh, thank you, big brother."
Xu Qianjiao did so in a little confusion.
Then he was pulled by Concubine Hui and sat on the throne.
"The eldest prince, in the history of the Xu Kingdom, there has never been an example of a woman being the king, is there something wrong with you doing this."
A minister said stubbornly.
"Never before, that's from today."
Xu Qianqiu said lightly.
Then, he looked at Xu Qianming, who was already dead, and said, "You came up with the idea of arresting the soldiers' families." ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Imprisoned in the prison, three days later, beheaded, to set the record straight, to comfort the fallen soldiers on the front line!" Xu Qianqiu's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest.
The hearts of the people trembled when they heard this.
"Xu Qianqiu, no, big brother, big brother, I'm your younger brother, our blood is thicker than water, you can't do this."
Xu Qianming was really panicked now.
He crawled in front of Xu Qianqiu and pleaded with tears in his eyes.
"Take it down."
Xu Qianqiu was unmoved.
Several soldiers stepped forward and dragged Xu Qianming down.
"Big brother, big brother, you can't do this."
"I know I'm wrong, you can spare me this time, please."
"Father, help."
Xu Qianming's cry for mercy and help kept ringing.
But it drifted away until it disappeared.
Xu Qianqiu didn't have the slightest emotion on his face from beginning to end, as early as when Xu Qianming put forward that ridiculous idea, the result was doomed.
"The Book of Rites."
"Yes."
"Go down and prepare for the new king's accession to the throne."
"Yes."
"The Army."
"Yes."
"The families of the captured soldiers have been frightened a lot, and they need to be appeased, in addition, all the officials involved in this matter, regardless of the size of their official positions, have kowtowed to me one by one to apologize, and if they do not comply, they will be beheaded!"
"Yes."
Xu Qianqiu ordered a series of orders.
Everyone did not dare to be disobedient, and agreed one by one.
Xu Qianjiao sat on the throne obediently and didn't dare to speak.
It's like a mascot.
A birthday banquet for King Xu ended with King Xu's abdication.
Everybody knows.
From now on, Xu Qianqiu will be in charge.
As for the king of the kingdom of Xu.
It's just a puppet in his hands, and as for why he doesn't want to be the king, only he knows about it.
