Chapter 208: Twilight Yuli
"Minar is not from the Vesudeva family, so wouldn't it be a coup d'Γ©tat to seize power?"
"Everyone according to the recommendation of the ancestral system, how can the coup d'Γ©tat seize power, you should not be alarmist. Although Taha's surname is Vesudeva, he is older and a side branch, and he has no heirs, how can he ascend to the throne. β
"Lord Taha is in charge of 20,000 forbidden troops in the capital, and he has made outstanding achievements, and he will definitely have a full house of descendants in the future, why can't he take the throne?"
"What do you mean by this, are you ready to support the army and seize power?"
"You slander!"
"You have a lot of respect for yourself!"
The two factions in the field who support Taha and Minar, you say a word to me, and they quarrel fiercely.
Here, Zhang Bai and Yu Zhenzi and the gang were also staring at each other, and their eyes were full of lightning.
"Mu Jing, will you be able to get out of trouble on your own?" Zhang Bai asked secretly while glaring, not to be outdone.
"Absolutely. β
"Well, if the matter is urgent, you can get out of trouble on your own, and I use the token to get out of trouble, how about it?"
"Okay! but... You're too timid!"
Zhang Bai immediately lowered his voice and said: "Today is mainly to listen to the news, and by the way, I am here to stir up the situation, why bother to fight with Yu Zhenzi here? He is very powerful." β
"What's amazing! This old way has just entered the mortal immortal, you are not afraid of me!"
"My good sister Mujing, there are forbidden troops everywhere here, there is no need to fight and kill, in case the nobles attending the meeting are killed or injured, this bad debt will be recorded on me and Princess Tolan. We are here to win the hearts and minds of the people, even if we win the fight, even if we kill Yu Zhenzi and Jiang Dingsheng, what is the use? The people of the Kushan Empire will turn away from morality and become disgusted with us. β
"Didn't you come here just to recommend the princess to the throne? Why do you want to win the hearts of the people again?"
"Recommend, what's the use of recommending, don't you know that the forbidden army has been dispatched, don't you see that inside and outside the Sega Mansion, in addition to the forbidden army, there are also the family members of the Sega Mansion who are also fully armed? β
"Then what is the use of recommending Princess Tolan? It is better to go back to the spaceship and prepare for war. Mu Jing was puzzled.
"Then which one are you going to fight first? Do you want to fight the forbidden army first? After beating the forbidden army, you will fight Sega? Do you know that there are two cavalry armies with a total of 4,000 men and horses approaching in the south of the city, and a large number of horsemen wandering in the north of the city? Do you think that these are all accidental? These armies are not our own people, can we continue to fight out of the city after beating the army in the city, one by one?"
Mu Jing heard Zhang Bai speak reasonably, nodded slightly, and said, "But I still don't understand, what is your purpose in promoting Tolan here?"
Zhang Bai smiled and replied, "As the daughter of the Vesudeva family, Princess Tolan's true value does not lie in becoming an emperor. Her value lies in the fact that she can make the person who becomes the emperor have a throne that is secure, reasonable and legitimate. β
Mu Jing shook his head, frowned and said puzzledly, "I don't know what you're talking about at all!"
"That is to say, as a concubine who has fled the country, Tolan is certainly not strong enough to compete for the throne, but what if she decides to give up the throne?
"I understand a little bit about what you said, but you didn't necessarily come here to support others on the throne, right?"
"Of course not, I'm here to stir things up!"
"How do you mess with it?"
"You don't have to do anything, you just have to wait a while. β
At this time, the nobles in the venue were still divided into two families, arguing with each other. Lord Tutunfa couldn't stand it anymore, so he made a loud noise to silence everyone, and when it was finally time to pause, he hurriedly announced the next meeting procedure.
"Don't quarrel, everyone, there are three candidates now, and Princess Tolan's representative has already spoken, so let's listen to Taha and Minar! Tutun was old and serious, and when he said this, everyone stopped talking for a while, and their eyes were looking at Taha.
Taha immediately stood up and stepped up to the podium, dressed in a cotton robe, with a long, thin countenance, and a pair of seemingly calm blue eyes on top of a well-manicured beard.
"Elders, important ministers, and nobles, thank you for recommending me as a candidate for the throne, it is a rare honor, and I feel very honored. However, I would also like to make my heart clear, because it was not my intention to be a candidate for the throne. β
"It has just been pointed out that I have no heirs, which is a fact, and this fact may bring unforeseen harm to the future of the empire. This is one of the reasons why I hesitated to fight for the throne. β
"My niece Tolan, who has been frail since childhood, said that she was the murderer of her parents, and this rumor is really hateful, because this rumor is against human ethics and immoral. Accusing a man of killing his own parents is a serious and important matter, and it must not be so irresponsibly imposed on me through rumors, not to mention that the crime of killing my parents was imposed on my weak and unfortunate niece. β
"The country is a heavy burden, and no one can afford to carry it easily, and I hope that such weight will not be placed on my underage, grieving niece. As a descendant of the royal family, she has done her duty, and she has suffered enough for it, and we should respect her instead of giving her more difficult problems to decide. β
"I therefore recommend that no one, nor me, nor His Excellency Minar, nor any other candidate, succeed directly to the throne unless with the permission of Princess Tolan. This is my opinion, and another reason why I was reluctant to fight for the throne in the first place. Please consider yourself. β
Taha's speech was unexpected, and as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Bai whispered to himself: "The old treacherous and cunning fox." β
Taha's words, which sound affectionate and reasonable, are actually buried in **, all kinds of plots against Tolan and Minar.
He acknowledges Tolan's lineage, but mentions Tolan's weakness and illness, denies the rumors that Tolan murdered his parents, and at the same time emphasizes that Tolan is unable to take on the responsibilities of the state, and he does not mention Minar, but keeps mentioning the legitimacy of the Vesudeva family, in fact, hoping to exclude Minar outright.
In the end, the suggestion that no one should come to power and wait for Princess Tolan's authorization was even more cunning.
This is tantamount to avoiding the confrontation with Minar in the venue, after all, this tribal assembly was initiated by Minar, and Minar must have been fully prepared. As soon as he made this move, Minar's previous efforts were all in vain.
Taha knew that Minar's advantage was in the venue, and in the capital, Taha's forbidden army had 20,000 people, and there was no pressure at all to fight, even if all the members of the Sega family were only a thousand people, and they could hold the mansion for a few days at most.
He just wants to force Minard to fight for strength.
