Jielan's irritable heart calmed down, she only thought that if God really made herself the master of a country, then even if she didn't want to, then she should do her part to take it on instead of running away from fear.
When everyone was nervously watching the sun and moon spirit stone to put the light on the top of whose head, they saw that the sun and moon spirit stone actually rotated to the middle of Jielan and Nanrong, and it was about to slowly approach in the direction of Jielan, at this time the sky actually lit up, the sun and moon separated, and the sun shone down again, projecting on this cloud top.
Seeing this, King Xiao secretly screamed badly, because once the sun and moon are separated, when the sky lights up again, the sun and moon spirit stone will lose its effectiveness and cannot choose Allah, and at this time the sun and moon spirit stone is between the two, who is it and no one can judge, but the light of the spirit stone dimmed, and then lost its spiritual power and returned to an ordinary stone bead chain flew back into King Xiao's hand, King Xiao looked at this spirit stone, his heart was troubled, the choice of the Lord was not successful, so what should be good?
And the ministers below were also very surprised, because this kind of spirit stone did not succeed in choosing the lord for a hundred years, but today it has become like this, what is the reason, is the new lord not established? All the ministers immediately talked about it, not knowing how to deal with this situation.
Qing Zhan and Chengfeng were also very surprised, Qing Zhan walked to King Xiao's side, with a look of confusion, King Xiao didn't know how to decide for a while, and asked, "How did this happen?" ”
Qing Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "Jielan hesitated in her heart, and has always rejected becoming the king, so the Sun and Moon Spirit Stone can't choose a new master, as for why the Sun and Moon Spirit Stone didn't choose Nanrong, Ben Jun thinks that even if it takes another thirty years, she will not be chosen by the Sun and Moon Spirit Stone." "Qing Zhan knows the personality of this Nanrong princess, knows that she is kind and ruthless, and she is a particularly powerful character, compared to Princess Yu Jing of Qing Zhou City, she is several times more ruthless, and her methods are several times more clever.
King Xiao felt that what Qing Zhan said was reasonable, she sighed, and said, "But the world always needs a new master, and it is impossible to wait for another thirty years. ”
"Since the Sun Moon Spirit Stone can't make a final decision, then we have to make a decision." Qing Zhan said resolutely, in the face of such a sudden change, he seemed very calm.
King Xiao walked to the stage, looked down at the ministers below, and said: "Today's ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, presumably all the ministers are very puzzled, why the sun and moon spirit stone did not choose a new lord in the end, this king is actually very confused, but this new king is not chosen?" ”
As soon as the ministers heard this, they all kept talking to each other, and Zaifu stepped forward and said: "Today is the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, which is determined for the election of a new lord, so many of us gather here to elect a new king, if we can't elect, then how to explain to the people of the world, so, even if the sun and moon spirit beads are not elected in the end, then it is up to us present to elect a new lord, I don't know what the ministers, the king and the young monarch think?" ”
Everyone here hopes that the next king can be elected today, so no one objected, and King Xiao said, "Since Zaifu said this, then it will be allowed, then according to Lord Zaifu, how should we elect a new master?" ”
This was a moment of stumpling Zaifu, he thought for a moment but couldn't find a good way, at this time, but heard that Geng Zheng stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since the sun and moon spirit stone can not elect a new master, then the first round of gong sound should be taken to determine who is the new master, the first round of the princess Nanrong won, that is to say, she is the most popular person, the new lord can get so many people to support, presumably can become a Ming monarch, so, the minister thinks, should choose Princess Nanrong as the new lord." As soon as Geng Zheng said this, dozens of people immediately responded in unison, and King Nabelon saw that his daughter had the highest prestige, and she must be the one who finally won the throne, and his heart was already happy, but he still held his breath on his face and did not let others see him.
When Zai Fu and the others heard this, they snorted coldly and said: "Lord Geng, this is wrong, although Princess Nanrong has more people, it does not mean that she is more suitable to be the king, if you do this, then how can we be convinced by the remaining seventy or so, this world is the world of everyone, not the world of your Lord Geng." ”
When Lord Geng heard Zaifu's words with a sense of rebuke, he was angry in his heart, and said: "You, Lord Zaifu, what do you mean, if you don't do what you want, we will be elected Princess Jielan as the current king, then I will ask, but how can we be convinced." ”
Zai Fu couldn't argue for a while, and only said: "In short, it is not appropriate to only take the first round of elections as the standard, the new lord involves the common people in the world, it is not personal honor and disgrace, nor is it a power struggle, you can't be so easy and hasty, if Lord Geng insists on doing so, the old man will resign at home, and he won't go to this dynasty!" ”
When Lord Geng heard that he relied on the old man and betrayed the old, how could he not be angry, but the most angry person was not him, but Nanrong who was standing on the high platform, Nanrong looked at the already old Zaifu below, and was very angry in his heart, thinking that my dignified princess was actually coerced by you, wouldn't it be ridiculous, and I didn't take her seriously.
Nanrong stepped forward, looked sideways, looked at Zaifu, and said coldly: "Lord Zaifu, is this saying that I, Nanrong, are not qualified to be the next king?" Or does Lord Zaifu feel that Nanrong and I can't take on the great responsibility of the world, so that you have to resign and threaten Lord Zaifu. ”
Zai Fu was excited to say such a thing for a while, but he didn't know that he had offended Princess Nanrong by saying this, he owed: "The minister didn't have this intention, and he didn't dare to offend the princess, but the minister didn't approve of Lord Geng's approach, and the minister didn't target anyone, the minister is a three-generation minister, just for the sake of the people in this world, as for the feelings of other people, the minister can't pay attention." ”
Nan Rong was even more angry, this old man obviously didn't put her in his eyes, Nan Rong hated in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, still with a gentle smile, but her eyes couldn't deceive herself, she slowly walked off the high platform, walked towards Zaifu, and said: "In fact, this princess has always respected Lord Zaifu, Lord Zaifu is an honest official, thinks of the world, and everything is worried about the people, my father has often taught me, let me have a good life to learn from Lord Zaifu, only in this way, can I know what is virtue, what is benevolence, what is wisdom, What is rigidity, what is bravery? Hearing Lord Zaifu's words today, and not afraid of my identity as a princess, it can be seen that what my father said is not bad at all, this princess really admires it, no matter who Zaisuke chooses in his heart, but Zaifu is a person I respect in Nanrong. She said this very magnanimously, so that all the officials felt that she was very knowledgeable and humble, and such a virtuous princess would be a blessing of blood if she became the king.
However, Lord Zaifu is not such a deceitful person, he has been an official for more than 40 years, who says what he says, what he thinks about in his heart, he knows too well, and the princess in front of him who flatters himself, Zaifu knows it, knows what she is thinking, he bowed down to Nanrong and saluted: "The princess is raised, the old minister is just doing his duty as a minister, how can he be worthy of such praise from the princess, and the old minister does not need these praises, the old minister is just dedicated to doing things, worthy of heaven and earth, sorry for the people, and other superfluous, The old minister didn't like it very much. ”
I was kind enough to say a few good words, but I didn't expect to touch a gray nose, I had long heard that this old man was stubborn and stubborn, and today I saw that this was the case, but no matter how stubborn he was, it was impossible for the more than 100 officials present to listen to his orders, after all, there were many more cronies of his father. She faced Zaifu, smiled indifferently, and said: "Whether Lord Zaifu wants it or not, this is the princess's heart, and this princess will definitely learn from Zaifu's good life in the future, and ask Zaifu Lord for advice on how to govern the country." ”
As soon as Zai Fu heard this, it was obvious that the princess was persuading herself, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "The princess's studies are taught by Mrs. Lang, Mrs. Lang has only known people, and the old minister is also very admired, the princess should ask Mrs. Lang for advice and learning, the old minister is already a mediocre person, I am afraid that I will not be able to teach the princess anything." ”
Nanrong touched the wall twice in a row, which made her very embarrassed, she was so angry that she wanted to kill this old and useless old man immediately, otherwise how could she eliminate the hatred in her heart, but she couldn't, she still had to smile and replied: "Lord Zaifu has to mention that this princess will definitely learn from Mrs. Lang and ask for advice." She didn't want to continue to talk to this old man who didn't know how to practice, she returned to the high platform, and glanced sideways at her father, after his father saw it, he understood her daughter's intentions, Lord Geng of the Belon Dynasty made a look, his eyes were shining with fierce light, it looked very frightening, and after Lord Geng saw it, his heart was also tight, he was afraid that if Princess Nanrong did not become the new lord today, he would not be able to stay in Pingdu, he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down towards King Xiao, and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Nanrong has been by your side all these days, she is gentle and decent, extremely talented, and there is no mistake in handling political affairs, and the princess understands the royal family etiquette and the situation of the Blood Ying Kingdom, she will definitely be the king expected by our Blood Ying Country, Your Majesty, if you think that Princess Nanrong is not qualified, is it not to deceive yourself and the courtiers? ”
When Zaisuke heard him reproach the king, he immediately shouted: "Bold, you actually dare to disobey the current king, don't you want to live?" ”
Lord Geng didn't care about it, and continued: "Even if you commit Yan Chen, you still have to say that the minister is also for the sake of the world, your majesty, Princess Jielan is your daughter, but you can't be partial because of this, all the ministers are looking at it, if it is clear that Princess Nanrong has more people who support but wants to choose Princess Jielan, how do you let the ministers obey, and how can the ministers believe that a woman from the countryside is in charge of the government, this is a world, and the king can't make a bet on the world!" ”
King Xiao knew that this was King Beron in his army, and he used these high-sounding reasons to come out, just to block King Xiao's mouth, so that she could not speak for her daughter, if she said it, the ministers would be dissatisfied, she took a deep breath, and said: "It is for the sake of the world, so this ceremony is carried out, this king will not favor her because Jielan is my daughter, but he will not give up on her because this king wants to avoid suspicion, both of them are fair, no matter who they choose, there must be another courtiers who have doubts in their hearts, But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the new lord we elected is the person who can really lead everyone, and the person who really convinces all the courtiers, rather than some courtiers supporting one and some courtiers supporting another, such a court will disperse sooner or later, and sooner or later it will fall, Princess Nanrong grew up in the royal court, so the courtiers have seen her ability and her conduct, but on the other hand, Jielan, the ministers here, presumably none of the ministers have been in contact with her, and they don't know much about her, But she still has so many people to support, that means that she is also the choice of everyone, so if Jielan gets along with the courtiers for a few more days, then the courtiers will have a deeper impression of her, at that time, it is the time for everyone to really recognize a new master, this king thinks, God has a once-in-a-century failure of the chosen one, which means that God will let us reconsider, so why should we rush for a while? ”
After hearing this, Zaifu roughly understood what the king meant, and he asked tentatively, "What should I do according to the king's wishes?" ”
King Xiao wanted to make a final decision, but this decision made her feel a little pressure, she looked at Qing Zhan, hoping that he could give her some suggestions, but Qing Zhan only said carefully: "Since the king has already thought about what to do, then just do it like this, and there will be a solution to other things sooner or later." After hearing this, King Xiao nodded, and her heart was also a lot more settled, she exhaled deeply again, and said to the ministers: "Listen, all the ministers, from today on, Princess Jielan and Princess Nanrong will be auxiliary at the same time, for a period of fifty days, in these fifty days, the two of them will accept the courtiers' suggestions, supervision, to see which of the two of them is more qualified to become the new lord, I believe that in fifty days, all the ministers will be able to make their own judgments, and then they will decide who will become the new lord in the future." ”
