Chapter 772: Two Choices
The Grand Prince Wei and the Kampa Empire secretly reached an agreement, the content of which is as follows: the Kampa Empire tried to promote him to become the prince, and after he became the prince, find a way to abdicate the current dragon king, as a condition, after Wei became the king of the clan, he must try to convince the people to let the entire clan depend on the Kampa Empire and become a part of them rather than a country within a country.
When the master next to Princess Li read out this agreement, the entire council hall was silent, and no one expected that Wei's quid pro quo would be......
Betray the whole clan!
At the same time, Princess Silk also knew about it, and even Princess Silk played a very important role in it, it was she who saw that her son had profound wisdom, but he lost his qualification to compete for the prince due to his limited cultivation talent, so she managed to contact the Kampa Empire.
In other words, she is the one who matches it!
The entire memory was thoroughly searched, including when the eldest prince peeked at the palace maid taking a bath, when he ** the maids around him, when he stole the treasury, when he expropriated and illegally hid the treasury, and when he secretly ambushed people in the royal city and the palace, etc.
Princess Silk cried on the spot and knelt in front of Hughes to ask for forgiveness, saying that she was willing to save the eldest prince with her own life, and even took all the responsibility on herself.
However, unlike the situation when Princess Su was convicted, no one except her interceded for Wei, including the third prince Su, who was a fellow mother.
"Do you know where you lost?".
Chen Han didn't mind the eldest prince's extremely resentful gaze at all, and said with a smile: "Because you forgot, at least for now, you are not the king of the Demon Feather Tenglong Clan, as long as someone suspects you, you can completely search for all the evidence of your guilt through the simplest soul search." Evidence? What do I want evidence for? There is a master who is stronger than you, who can search your memory, and many people can do such a simple thing. ”
This sentence was indeed a slap in the face, and it slapped everyone present in the face.
Evidence?
As long as you have absolute certainty in your heart, you can forcibly search the soul, and through the soul search, the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes is determined, and the crime of openly doing it to the eldest prince does not exist.
But everyone fell into a strange circle, because of the identity of the eldest prince Wei, they never thought of using this way to prove against him.
Of course, various reasons create suspicions, so that everyone is not sure, which is also the key to no one daring to search for his memory. If it is found out that he is not after searching the soul, that crime is not small, except for someone like Chen Han who is absolutely sure, who is willing to take risks easily?
"Wang, this matter has nothing to do with Wei'er, his agreement with the Kampa Empire is only to attack the royal city and the palace, and he never said that he would attack the Longyuan Palace, the group of bastards in the Kampa Empire have violated the agreement, please spare Wei'er for the sake of the concubines......" Princess Silk crawled on the ground and wept bitterly.
"Betray your race, and have the face to say these things!" roared in anger.
"Wang, Weichen's grandfather sat in Longyuan Hall with the first king, and he also died in this palace rebellion, you have to give Weichen's family an explanation!"
"Rebels, you can't spare their mother and son!"
"It's still cheap to kill them, Weichen suggests sending them to Longyuan!"
"Maybe the guy where Princess Silk is is also involved, please check to the end and not let go of any sinner!"
The group of princes and ministers in the council hall all knelt down, and they hated Princess Silk and the eldest prince in their hearts, and they longed to eat their flesh raw.
How could they not hate Hughes if they hated it?
Su was still wronged, but there was no way to prevent the tragedy, and the joint and several responsibilities suffered were sentenced to death, not to mention the mastermind behind the whole thing?
With a cold gaze without the slightest emotion, he swept over the mother and son who were controlled by the guards, and Hughes shouted: "Princess Silk and the eldest prince Wei colluded with foreign thieves to betray the whole clan, causing heavy losses to the clan, committing an unforgivable felony, and immediately entering Longyuan will be punished with the heaviest punishment of the clan until death." Order, the secret division guards the three armies of Xianglong, Yulong, and Tianlong, thoroughly investigate all the guards and maids in Princess Si's family and the palace, and all the suspects are arrested and interrogated, if there is any resistance, it will not be counted!"
Long Yuan is specially set up for the clansmen of the Demon Feather Tenglong Clan, and people who are not in the clan are not qualified to enter, and those who are thrown into Long Yuan at the same time are not people who have committed serious crimes.
It is said that none of the people who have entered Longyuan so far have come out alive, and none of them will die immediately, and the meaning of Longyuan is that life is better than death.
As the final mystery was solved, the mother and son were taken away by the secret guards, and the needles could be heard quietly in the council hall.
"The minister, this time the internal traitors colluded with foreign enemies to cause chaos in the palace, and the clan suffered the greatest calamity since the founding of the clan, and now the culprit has been caught, and he should be rewarded for his merits!"
"Princess Silk and the eldest prince Wei have premeditated, the royal city and the palace are empty, Princess Su has done her best, please take back the punishment of Princess Su!"
"The enemy's layout is first, the eldest prince should be behind, the Maierfu Mansion will fall, and the meritorious service should be rewarded!"
"If there is no Meier to testify, the eldest prince will inevitably continue to cause trouble in the court, which is a great merit!"
Except for a few people who spoke for Su, all the people in the Wuchen faction were asking for Chen Han's life, and even the Wenchen faction, which had always opposed them, did not object.
Is it useful to oppose it?
First of all, as long as Chen Han's credit can be seen by a person, he can't find any reason to refute it at all, whether it is to save the crisis of the secret place of the palace, to save that part of the people with extremely high status, but also to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, it can be said that he took all the credit for this accident alone.
Secondly, the other three confidential places are proudly preserved, Princess Jun and Princess Li, etc., and the survival of these royal descendants is all his credit.
In other words, everyone present, from the dragon king Hughes of the royal family to the bottom, accepted his favor, otherwise more relatives would have died in this war.
"It's just...... Meier is not a member of his own clan, and according to his own clan rules, the Terrans cannot serve as high-ranking officials. "Someone in the Wenchen faction stood up, and it was the chief financial officer Yi, that is, the father of Xi, who was beaten half to death by Chen Han.
"Hee!"
Lie immediately jumped out, pointed at him and scolded: "What do you mean by this? If it weren't for Meyer, the clansmen and retired elders in your family who sat in Tianwenlou, Juzhen Pavilion, and Green Garden, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to live even one of them, right? To be a man with a conscience, how much credit does Meyer have?"
Yi blushed in embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't admit it, this time Meier has indeed made great contributions, and no one can deny this." However, the rules of the ancestors cannot be false, and it is not a question of whether I admit it or not, unless...... Unless the king disregards the rules of his fathers. ”
No matter what kind of heart he had, it was a big truth.
In the clan rules of the Demon Feather Tenglong Clan, it is said that the human race is not allowed to hold too much power, which is essentially for the sake of centralization in the clan.
According to Chen Han's merits this time, it is not as simple as adding an official to a knight a little bit, if you really want to talk about it, even if you make him a prince, it is reasonable. However, in the political and military realm of the Demon Feather Tenglong Clan, among the eight major levels of bureaucracy, the Terrans can only enter the third tier at most, and the official positions of the first two layers cannot be held by the Terrans, but the position of the prince is a first-class official.
"The mastermind behind the scenes has been captured, and it is understandable that it is not good to defend the city, but it is Princess Silk and the eldest prince Wei who are responsible for it, because the crime of dereliction of duty will be pardoned for the time being. ”
"Thank you, Father!" she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The second prince Jin, due to the military order first, although there is a reason for the incomplete information to misestimate the enemy's strength, you have no jokes. From today onwards, cut off all positions of real power, go back and think about it behind closed doors, and don't meddle in political affairs for ten years, do you have anything to disagree with?"
"Erchen don't dare, thank your father for your grace!"
The second prince hurriedly knelt down to thank him, he knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that the eldest prince was arrested, and the black cauldron was deducted from Princess Silk and the eldest prince, the punishment he received could not have been so light.
The son and wife are in trouble in the palace, Hughes is in a bad mood now, and he finally set his eyes on Chen Han: "Meier, before you injured the guards and rushed into the palace, this king will not care about you." In this calamity of your own clan, you have indeed made great contributions, but since you are not a member of your own clan, it is against the ancestral teachings to give a big reward, so this king gives you two choices. ”
"I was eager to testify against the mastermind before, and I beg your forgiveness for colliding with the king, I don't know what the two choices are?" Chen Han would not be stupid enough to fight against Hughes at this time.
"Since you are a member of the Ode Chiron family, continue to go back, this king will give you the status of a second-class general in the army, and give you 100 million magic crystals and 10 million treasures. ”
"What about the second option?"
"Although you are not a member of your own clan, you have made outstanding achievements this time, and you have the tokens of your father and grandfather in your hands, so you must be the person that the two of them value. Therefore, the king can make an exception for you to join your own clan, officially become a member of your clan as a human race, and enjoy all the benefits of your clan. It's just that there are no other titles and treasures to be rewarded, but because you have become a member of your own clan, you can add officials to the knighthood in the future according to the clan system. ”
"This ......"
Chen Han was in a dilemma and couldn't make up his mind, and these two options had their own benefits.
If you choose the first one, you will immediately be able to hold important positions in the army, and you will have a certain amount of troops in your hands. However, after all, he is not a member of the Demon Feather Tenglong Clan, and it is still impossible for him to enter the high-level in the future, and as for those treasure rewards, he doesn't look at them in his eyes.
The second choice seems to be an identity, but it allows him to enjoy the true status of the Demon Feather Tenglong Clan, and as long as he can still make meritorious contributions, he will have the opportunity to continue to be promoted.
Just when he was undecided, Lie suddenly came out and said: "Meier is deeply grateful to his clan, and he is definitely qualified to be a member of his clan in his opinion, even if he is a human race!"
What do you mean?
Is this old guy letting himself choose the second one?
Soon, Chen Han figured out the stake, if he chose the first one and returned to the Odekelon family as a second-class general, it would actually have no effect on Hughes. To put it bluntly, the little military power he shared was also the right of the Odekelon family, and Hughes would not transfer his troops to Chen Han, in fact, he would send him back personally.
But choosing the second option is different, he can still be a member of the Odekelon family, and he can have more room for development in the future.
The most important thing is that after this incident, everyone knows that Chen Han is not only extremely wonderful in terms of cultivation, but also extremely resourceful. With such a person, his future is almost immeasurable, and he may not be able to become the first Terran cultivator in the history of the Demon Feather Tenglong Clan to stand at the core of power.
At that time, the power in his hands will be able to echo the Odkailon family, and the status of the military faction will be raised to a new level.
