Chapter 372: Swa-Kingdom 2

After getting Gibrile, Li Yi talked to his mother Caizeluo again. After all, Jablilé is only thirteen years old, and even if he becomes the new king, he will still need to be regent of Tsesilo for a long time to come.

Tsetselo was an ordinary woman, uneducated, and was elected to the palace only because of her beauty. When Li Yi scared her, she timidly knelt on the ground and cried, knowing that she was a good puppet candidate without asking.

In Swa countries, the king cannot personally appoint an heir to the throne, and members of the royal family organize meetings after the king's death to decide which princess is the "queen mother". The son of the "Empress Dowager of the Shogong" automatically became king.

In order to protect the independence of the royal power and prevent her relatives from interfering with her, the Queen Mother could not be born into the three major tribes of Ramion, Mobra, and Macha, and in principle could only have one child, and she must be virtuous and virtuous. Her virtue directly affects the question of whether his son can inherit the throne, and if the mother's virtue is not good, her son cannot inherit the throne.

The news of the death of the beloved king, Ngwani III, soon spread to the upper echelons of the Swa, and it is said that he died of an acute myocardial infarction. When the people were about to ask the king's eldest son, Banzilai, to preside over the royal council and elect a new king, they suddenly found that the king's eldest son was also dead!

How could the twenty-six-year-old king's eldest son, in his prime, die?

And like his father, he died of a myocardial infarction?

But it doesn't matter, the eldest son of the king is dead, and there is the second son of the king, but the second son of the king is also dead!

The same myocardial infarction!

Maville sat on the table, his heart almost beating beyond the star's chest. He is the sixth son of the king and is only twenty-two years old this year. Because of his cowardice, he didn't like his father very much. But today, he actually became the biggest prince and had to serve as the host of the royal meeting!

In just two days, his five older brothers, six younger brothers, and twenty-eight uncles and uncles were all dead!

All died of myocardial infarction!

"Your Royal Highness, don't be nervous, I believe that no one in this conference hall will disagree with your opinion. Li Yi spread out a folder and placed it in front of Ma Weilai.

"Yes, yes, sir. When Ma Weilai heard Li Yi's voice, he became even more nervous.

He didn't know where this Oriental who entered as a temporary secretary came from. But he knew that the deaths of his father, brothers, and many uncles and uncles must have something to do with him!

Myocardial infarction is not an infectious disease, and it cannot be a single death in a short period of time!

Li Yi sat down beside Ma Weilai and shook his head gently.

In the Swaal royal family, there are many hard bones like Ngwani III, which he admires very much. But if these hard bones stand firmly against you, the consequences will also be very terrible.

Li Yi did not modify the memories of these people, nor did he bewitch their sanity, but let them die a dignified death. This is a sign of respect for the opponent, although their strength is still far from being Li Yi's opponent.

"Today, we come to elect, the new king. Maville stammered.

Mavilai's mother, Lindiwe, was born into the Mobra family and was the king's wife.

Lamin, Mobra, and Macha are the three largest tribes in the Swa, of which Lamien is a royal family with a high status, followed by Mobra and Macha. Every newly enthroned king had to choose a maiden from each of the tribes of Mobra and Macha to be his wife. That is, the king of Swaa had two queens.

However, neither of the two queens' children could inherit the throne, and the new king could only choose among the children of the other princesses. Therefore, the presiding officer of the meeting, Maville, could not become a king, but could only let other brothers become kings.

"In my opinion, Princess Tseselo is the most suitable to be the queen mother of the main palace, and her son Djibulilai is suitable to be the new king. Ma Weilai read according to the document given to him by Li Yi.

There was silence below.

Everyone knew that Jabril was a celestial eunuch and unfit to be king, but no one dared to object. Those who had opinions were all resolved by Li Yi before the meeting.

"Since everyone has no opinion, I propose to pass by acclamation. Li Yi took the lead in applauding as he spoke.

The members of the royal family attending the meeting, seeing Li Yi's sword-like gaze, had to applaud and propose to pass unanimously.

A new monarch ascended the throne, and at the age of thirteen, Djiblilé became king, with the title of Ngowani IV.

The first thing Engwani IV did when he ascended the throne was not to hold a funeral for his father, but to look for a "cleaner"!

There is an ancient custom in Africa. After the death of each Lan person, his wife and unmarried daughter will be possessed by evil spirits, and they must be severely beaten by others to relieve them. If any of the Lu people refused to be made by other Lan people, not only would they not be able to attend the funeral or remarry, but they would curse the whole village, causing the crops to fail and the people to die.

The origin of this custom is nowhere to be found, and eighty percent of them are nonsense made up by some mad fellow who is worried about other people's wives and daughters. However, if there is an opportunity to share other people's wives and daughters, which Lan people can refuse? Therefore, "cleaners" have been prevalent in Africa for thousands of years, and every Lu person who has lost her husband or her father has died has to not only be "cleaned" by others, but also have to pay others to "clean" herself.

Cleaners have been cleaning the African land for thousands of years, and no one has a problem except for the dead Lan people. And the dead Lan people, of course, can't jump out of the coffin to stop others from cleaning his wife and daughter.

But in the last century, cleaners have been seriously challenged, and that is AIDS!

Since every Lan people die, and their wives and daughters have to be cleaned when they die, AIDS spreads very quickly!

Swaa is one of the countries most affected by AIDS, and their HIV infection rate has reached 40 percent!

Forty out of every 100 people have AIDS!

In order to prevent the spread of AIDS, the wise Ngwani III enacted a law prohibiting girls under the age of 18 from having sex with anyone or face a fine of a cow. But the cows can't stop the brave cleaners, and everyone would rather be fined than let the cleaning work continue, otherwise the whole village will be cursed to death.

Folklore is like this, and Ngwani III can't help it. Fines for a cow are his limit, and if he works against the whole people, the final result will definitely not be that he changes the people, but that the country changes its king.

Now that the wise king is dead, the traditions will continue. And if the king is so powerful, the evil spirits that will be transformed after death must also be great. If the queens, princesses, and princesses don't accept cleanliness, it's not just a village, it's a nation!

No Swath wants to accept the curse!

"My father had thirty-three wives and thirty-six daughters, and my eldest brother had nine wives and four daughters, and my second brother had five wives and five daughters...... "The young Ngwani IV calculated.

Dozens of royals died in one fell swoop, and hundreds of their widows needed to be cleaned by hired cleaners. It's just a normal era, but now there are so many AIDS patients, in case the hired cleaner infects a member of the royal family with AIDS, it will be a big scandal!

"Jabulilai, you don't have to worry about this matter, you don't need to ask for a cleaner at all, I'll handle it alone. Li Yi said.

"You mean, you've come to be our cleaner?" asked Ngwani IV with wide eyes.

"That's right, I'm enough. ”

"Great!" said Ngwani IV, clapping his hands with joy, and then told the ministers the good news.

"What, that Oriental wants to be a cleaner alone?" the ministers looked at each other.

"What's the matter, can't you?" the new king was a little strange.

"This-" The king was too young and eunuch, and many ministers were embarrassed to say, but in the end, it was the Minister of Health, the king's ninety-first uncle, Prince Pivainko, leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, cleaning is not just a fork, but to expel evil spirits, well, detergent into the stomach of the person being cleaned, so as to keep the country safe." ”

"Then inject in the detergent. "Ngwani IV still did not understand.

Pivainko had no choice but to continue to explain: "Your Majesty, even the strongest cleaner can clean four or five people in one night. Now not only has the first king died, but nearly forty other members of the royal family have died, leaving hundreds of widows and unmarried princesses, and he can clean it up alone?"

But he said yes. "Ngowani IV said.

All the ministers frowned in unison. Li Yi is the one who made many people who resisted the royal family have myocardial infarction, they dare not offend, even if they take all the cleaning work, there is no way.

However, if Li Yi only took people away and was not able to clean them, the entire kingdom would be finished, and they would all have to accept the curse!

No one can afford to risk the curse of the nation!

After chattering and discussing for a long time, the ministers still felt that they should talk to Li Yi, after all, it was too unbelievable for one person to clean hundreds of people.

"Are you doubting my abilities?" Li Yi glanced coldly at the petitioning ministers.

"No, no, no, we're not suspicious, we're just in case, after all, there are a lot of people. Deputy Prime Minister Barna Laminne said.

The former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Swa and the Hand of the King, named Arun Lamin, was the eighty-seventh brother of Ngwani III and the most outstanding prince. Together with Ngwani III, he ran the country with great success.

When Li Yi found him, his attitude was as tough as his brother's, so he died. At present, the deputy prime minister has the largest position among all ministers.

Deputy Prime Minister Barna Lamien is the great-grandson of the sixteenth son of the former king, and is the king's cousin in terms of generation. However, there are more than 1,000 descendants of the previous king, and none of the brothers can recognize each other, let alone such cousins who are next generation, so no one cares about this.

"I said yes, no in case. Li Yi said.

The ministers looked at each other in embarrassment, and no one dared to say no to the murderer. In the end, Barna stood up at the request of everyone and made another request to Li Yi.

"What, you want to watch me clean them live?" Li Yi's brows furrowed.

"Although you said that there is no eventuality, and we believe that there is no eventuality, but we are watching from the sidelines, you can't squeeze out the detergent, and we can also join in the fun. After all, expelling evil spirits is not a trivial matter, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. Barna Road.

"Do you believe that there are evil spirits in this world?" asked Li Yi.

Barna smiled lightly. Not only did he study in the UK, but he also went to a prestigious school, and he was a real top student, so he didn't believe in legends such as evil spirits. But he also knows that the will of the people cannot be violated, and the backward status quo of the Swa-based country cannot be changed in a day.

Ngwani III worked hard all his life to increase the literacy rate in Swa, but there is still a long way to go to overcome the country's bad habits.

However, he will not tell Li Yi that there are no evil spirits in the world. The king's concubines are all beautiful, and the little princesses are even more pure and moving. No matter which one of them is cleaned, he will be happy. Even if the king's wives and daughters don't have his turn, it's good to be able to clean other people's wives and daughters. The dead are all members of the royal family, and no one will marry an ugly daughter-in-law.

"You all believe it?" Li Yi pointed to the ministers.

Some of the ministers were ignorant, and some were skeptical of the legends. But the largest number is the one who, like Barna, has been influenced by advanced culture outside and does not believe in feudal superstition at all.

But who would let go of the opportunity to clean the king's wife and daughter?

The only one who didn't nod was the Home Secretary, Princess Winnie. She was the finest daughter of Ngwani III and the next to be cleaned. Although she doesn't believe in legends such as evil spirits at all, the wrath of the people is hard to offend, and whether she wants it or not, she must be cleansed.

"Alas, I knew it would have been better to get married earlier. Winnie tugged at her braids in frustration.

She never thought that her father would die young, so she never married. If she had promised that Yale classmate last year, she wouldn't have suffered this fate this year.

"Well, it's better to be bitten. Winnie said to herself.

An ancient tradition that even the king could not change, of course, she was powerless to change, so she could only accept her fate.

Li Yi saw that everyone believed it, so he said: "Since you all believe this, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave a cleaner for everyone, just send your wives and daughters over." I can clean your wives and daughters, and I can clean others as well. As for being in front of you, I'm sorry, but I don't want anyone else to watch it except Princess Winnie, Ms. Chanzil, and Ms. Sibongila. ”

"Shhhhh

They are not dead, why should they send their wives and daughters to Li Yi to clean? It's too unusual!

If you are a Lan person, you can't agree!

The Minister of Public Works and Transportation, Gideon, rolled his eyes, and suddenly took a step forward and said, "Mr. Li, if I send my wife and daughter over, but you don't have time to clean, then can you let me join the team of cleaners? ”

Li Yi said: "Yes." If your wife and daughter come, I don't have time to clean them, of course I'll call you. ”

"Queens, princesses and princesses......

Li Yi said: "It's the same, when I can't clean it, I'll give it to you." ”

Gideon's eyes lit up.

He had long been tired of his six wives, and it would be great if he could get the opportunity to get a princess and princess Xiangze.

What's more, there are nearly seventy princesses and princesses in the kingdom, and even if Li Yi is a peerless man, he can clean ten heavens, and he has no chance to touch his wife and daughter. And once Li Yi is physically exhausted, the remaining princesses and princesses are not at his disposal?

Exchanging a wife and daughter who can't be cleaned for a beautiful princess and princess couldn't be more cost-effective! )
