"Erchen knows! Obey the king's teachings! Nanrong and Kenji said in harmony, but Jielan had never seen this meeting, and she didn't know how to answer, so she just followed the two of them to answer, but she didn't keep up, which seemed very abrupt.

Xiao Wangshang nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Chengfeng and Qing Zhan: "One of you two is the young monarch of the 'Imperial Deaf Group', and the other is the Sage White Devil, you are both the pillars of this Blood Ying Country, and you must always remind them and discipline them, don't let them do things that violate the law, and don't let them do things that disobey the people of the world, do you know?" ”

Qing Zhan and Chengfeng both bowed and bowed, and said: "Weichen should do his best, serve the new master, help him deal with the government affairs, and bless the blood!" ”

King Xiao nodded at this moment, smiled slightly, she raised the wine bottle, and said, "Since you all say so, then drink this oath wine, and after drinking, please remember your oath!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison. Later, when King Xiao raised the wine bottle and drank the wine, Jielan and the others also raised the wine bottle and drank the wine.

After drinking the oath wine, King Xiao stepped forward, faced all the officials, spread his hands evenly, and said, "Okay, all the ministers, please get up!" The courtiers all stood up, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

King Xiao faced his daughter and said, "Lan'er, before leaving, I handed over the Sun and Moon Spirit Stone to you, do you still have it with you?" ”

Jielan hurriedly took out the sun and moon spirit stone, presented it to his mother with both hands, King Xiao took it, and then raised the sun and moon spirit stone high, and said: "This is the sun and moon spirit stone that symbolizes the royal power, in addition to the ministers will elect the new master, the sun and moon spirit stone will also choose the master it is loyal to, an hour later, it is the time when the tengu eats the moon, the sun and moon spirit stone will elect its own master at this moment, of course, before this, the king must first let the ministers elect the new lord they elect, and elect two people who can become the new master, These two will accept the choice of the spirit stone again, can the ministers agree? ”

The election of the lord of the Bloody Kingdom has always been like this, first handing over the right to vote to the ministers, and letting the ministers elect the new lord they support, which is called conforming to the will of the people; And the second time it is chosen by the Sun and Moon Spirit Stone, this time it is called conforming to the will of heaven, if the will of the people and the will of heaven are chosen for her, then she will become the new master of the Blood Ying Country.

Three gongs have already been arranged on the top of Yunshan, the first gong represents Jielan, the second gong represents Nanrong, and the third gong represents Xianzhi.

Seeing that everything was ready, King Xiao asked the eunuch to preach: "The ceremony of choosing the lord begins!" Ministers, please beat the drum and show the heavens! ”

There are a total of one hundred and seven ministers, starting from the first Lord Zaifu, Lord Zai Fu walked to the first drum on behalf of Jielan, and beat it, it was to support Princess Jielan, Jielan saw that this old minister actually supported herself, but she was quite concerned, and she was also a little grateful in her heart, because this Zaifu himself had never seen it, he was able to choose to support her for a person he had never seen before, believe her, how can you not be moved by your name Jielan? And the second one who went to beat the gong and drum was Geng Zheng, he beat Nanrong's gong and drum, and then Xue You, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, stepped forward and struck Jielan's drum.

Jielan is also quite grateful to this short adult, I don't know why, watching people knock on the gong to her one by one, Jielan's heart turned heavy, first, she can't be a king at all, because she has to save her mother, and she doesn't want her to be punished and die in the end, and second, so many courtiers support her, but she won't be the king after all, so won't she disappoint them?

Jielan feels that it would be fine if no one chooses herself, but once she is chosen, it is equivalent to giving Jielan their trust, and Jielan herself can't bear their expectations of her, she chooses to escape, she chooses to leave, but she is afraid of becoming the master of a country, so what is it that she does not live up to their expectations?

Seeing that the courtiers were constantly beating the drums, and the guards guarding the gong were carefully counting the numbers, Jielan was also calculating in her heart, from the beginning to the halfway point now, she already had fifteen people to support her, while Nanrong had twenty-three people to support it, and Kenji had seventeen people to support it. Jielan thought about the numbers, and was quite relieved in her heart, because she felt that her gongs were all under Nanrong and Xianzhi, so she would not be qualified to enter the link of selecting the master of the Sun and Moon Spirit Stone, so she would not have to face the next problems.

She was suddenly very happy, she had begun to yearn for the scene of returning to the village with her mother and starting an ordinary life again, she really just wanted to be an ordinary woman.

When the votes ended, I only heard the report of the guards of the first Luo: "Princess Jielan, thirty-two sounds!" The guard of the second gong reported: "Princess Nanrong, forty-one!" The third gong guard reported: "Prince Kenji, thirty-four sounds!" ”

When Jielan heard this result, she was completely relieved, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face, she felt that she could really be freed, and she no longer had to be forced to become a king by the two people she loved the most.

And King Xiao and Qing Zhan were also quite surprised when they saw this result, but they also wanted to get it, after all, Jielan grew up in the countryside, not in Wangcheng, so naturally she didn't have her own power, so it was normal for there to be relatively few people who supported her, but this didn't mean that Jielan had failed.

Just when Jielan thought that her mother was about to announce that she was about to enter the heavenly selection link as Nanrong and Xianzhi, she heard her mother say loudly: "The election of the new lord of the ministers is temporarily over, and the next thing is the gongs and drums of the Shaojun and the Holy Venerable and the three electees, the reason why the three candidates are made is that they hope that no matter who wins or loses, they will support each other, you know?" ”

The three of them all nodded, and the first drum should be beaten by the elder Jielan, she thought about it for a long time, I don't know if this sound is for Nanrong or for Xianji, although Xianzhi is young, but his knowledge and bearing are extraordinary, and although Nanrong doesn't understand whether she treats her sincerely, she also said that she just wants to use herself, and Jielan herself doesn't know very well, so who should this sound be given?

Qing Zhan and Cheng Feng were very nervous, because if this voice was wrong, the ministers who supported Jielan would doubt Jielan's vision and talent for knowing people, so this vote seemed simple, but it was actually extremely difficult, because it was directly related to the leisure and talent between the three of them.

Jielan walked to the gong and drum, walked past her own gong and drum, and stopped in front of Nanrong's gong and drum, she picked up the gong and drum, and planned to hit it, Nanrong thought she was going to hit herself, and she was quite happy in her heart, but Jielan hesitated and stopped, and then walked to the front of Kenji's gong and drum, and gently knocked it down.

'Bang', the sound of gongs and drums, made Qingzhan and Chengfeng breathe a sigh of relief, and also convinced the ministers who supported Jielan, because most of the ministers who supported Jielan were covered with King Belon, naturally they also understood the personality of this Nanrong princess, if Jielan chose her, wouldn't it be a loss for them?

Jielan returned to her place and stopped, Nan Rong was angry, feeling that this Jielan was really not as stupid as she imagined, and at this point she could do things according to her own instructions is unknown, it seems that she really did a risky thing, and she should be like what her father said, it is more appropriate to kill this Jielan directly, as if now this woman has the help of these ministers and young monarchs, and she has begun to get out of control.

Xianji was very happy when he saw Jielan beating the drum for her, he looked up and smiled at Jielan: "Thank you, sister, Zhi'er will work hard." ”

Jielan smiled softly at him, very sorry and appreciative.

The second one should be Nanrong striking the gong, and before she went, she said to Jielan beside her: "I'm sorry, sister, for your own good, I can only do this." She descended the high ladder and walked directly to the Kenji gong and struck a blow. Because she thought in her heart that no matter what, she couldn't let Jielan enter the selection of heaven, so she chose Kenji.

The third sound was Kenji's turn, Kenji walked directly to the first drum, knocked it directly, and recorded it for Jielan, so far, Jielan is thirty-three, Nanrong is forty-one, and Kenji is thirty-six.

Jielan is still at the back of the line. And next, it is the turn of Qingzhan, Chengfeng, Tan Qi and Split Bo to signal the three, there is no suspense, Qing Zhan and Chengfeng naturally voted for Jielan, and Split Bo also followed Qing Zhan to beat the first drum, and the rest is Tan Qi.

Everyone's hearts were raised, and Jielan's heart was also raised, she knew that as long as Tanqi struck her drum, then her voice would be higher than Kenji's, and she would enter the Heavenly Chosen Link, but she didn't want to do that. And Xiao Wang and Qing Zhan were worried that Tan Qi would not hit this sound for Jielan.

Because Tan Qi still hates Jielan very much, he once hated Jielan so much that he wanted to take Jielan's life, and almost took her life, since he hates it so much, how can he give Jielan a blow? But Tan Qi himself couldn't think that this Jielan was actually a princess, and she became the king's choice, no wonder Shaojun respected her so much, and no wonder he was always obedient to her, it turned out that because Shaojun had long known her identity, Tan Qi should have been the same as Shaojun, and struck down this sound for Jielan, but he couldn't, because what he thought was different from Split Bo and them, he was afraid in his heart, because if Jielan really became the king, then Shaojun and her would never be together again, but Shaojun was already deeply in love with her, I'm afraid I can't do it if I want to forget him, but if the two of them say that they want to give up each other, they probably can't do it, then sooner or later one day this ambiguous and intimate relationship between them will be known by the minister, then Shaojun and her will violate the king's order, will be punished, and even lose their lives, in this case, how can Tan Qi be willing to play.

He stopped for a long time in front of the first drum, but he still walked away, she walked away, some people were happy and some were disappointed, Jielan has been thinking that this annoying man has done one thing right, that is, he didn't hit this sound for himself like Qing Zhan Chengfeng and them, just when she felt relieved, but what puzzled Jielan was that Tan Qi actually turned back and walked back towards Jielan's gong, and then hit hard, and actually gave this sound to Jielan.

Qing Zhan and the others don't understand Tan Qi anymore, and they don't understand why he repents again? Could it be that he has let go of his prejudices against Jielan or does he also think that it would be wise for Jielan to become the head of a country, he actually doesn't know it himself, he only knows that Shaojun wants to vote for this woman, if he doesn't vote, maybe Shaojun will cut off relations with him from now on, and he won't let him follow him anymore, so he was afraid, like an orphan who lost his parents, so he still turned back.

This time, according to a statistic, Jielan has thirty-seven voices, Nanrong has forty-one voices, and Xianzhi is thirty-six voices, then the first round of public opinion election is over, King Xiao didn't expect this to be such a result, she only said: "All the ministers have also seen it, these three children and their respective public opinions, this is all voted in public, and there is no falsehood, so everyone can rest assured, this king hereby announces that the people who enter the ranks of the chosen ones are Princess Nanrong and Princess Jielan." ”

All the ministers knelt down and saluted Qianfu, and then King Xiao flattened them.

Jielan didn't expect the result to be like this, she didn't want to be a king, let alone enter the Chosen One, she turned around, faced her mother, and retorted: "No, I don't care if you are the current king or my mother, I just want to tell you that I don't want to be a king, mother, you understand, don't you?" ”

King Xiao looked at his daughter, sighed in her heart, she held Jielan's hand, and said: "This is elected by dozens of ministers, you also see how confident the ministers are in you, and how much they support you, if you refuse, how can you be worthy of them." ”

Jielan shook her head and said, "No, I know it's wrong for me to do this, but my wish is not to be a king, but to live with my mother and live an ordinary life together!" ”
