Chapter 36: Temporary Throne
When Ubatu heard about this unheard of experience, he immediately opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes widened, and he was in a state of unease.
The national teacher Wu Siba did not die in that cave, he used the 'Ice Ecstasy Palm' to open the entrance of the cave, although he was injured, but he also escaped, and after coming out, he saved the black ghost, and the master and apprentice dressed as palace guards early the next morning, and took the king, queen and little prince out of the palace.
Ubatu finally knew at this moment that the king, queen and little prince were in the hands of the national teacher Usiba's apprentice.
"Prince, do you know where Master Usbah is hiding?"
Ubatu was in a hurry and immediately asked Wu Chongzhen.
"I don't know, I guess they must be hiding in a very secret place!"
Uzhongjin shook his head at Ubatu.
"The eldest prince, the master and apprentice of Usba control the king, the queen and the little prince, only by finding the master and apprentice of Usba can we find a way to rescue the king, queen and little prince!"
Ubatu spoke to him.
Wu Chongzhen immediately agreed: "Commander Wu is right, if you want to rescue the king, queen and little prince, you must first find the two of Wu Si Pa and the apprentice!" He thought about it carefully for a while, and shouted to U Batu: "Wu Commander, Wu Si Pa and his apprentice sometimes secretly return to the National Teacher's Mansion at night, we should send someone to closely monitor the surroundings of the National Teacher's Mansion!"
"Eldest Prince, since you and the princess disappeared, I have sent someone to monitor the National Teacher's Mansion, and I haven't seen any movement in the National Teacher's Mansion!"
Ubatu reported in front of him.
The two of them talked for a long time in the eldest prince's room.
It's also late.
Wu Chongzhen politely shouted to Ubatu: "Commander Wu, it's not too early, you go back first, and we'll talk about anything tomorrow!"
Ubatu got up and said, "Prince, we'll see you tomorrow!" Just as he was about to leave, he remembered a very important thing in his heart, and immediately shouted to him with a serious expression: "Prince, the king has been missing for more than a month, and it is not a way to go on like this for a long time!"
"Commander U, what do you say you should do?"
Uzhongzhen immediately asked Ubatu.
"I will immediately send someone to inform the civil and military officials of the Wusi Tibetan State, and tell them to enter the palace early tomorrow morning and discuss in the palace hall to let the eldest prince temporarily take the throne of the king!"
Ubatu replied to him.
"Let me take the throne of the king temporarily?"
Wu Chongzhen looked at Ubatu with a look of surprise.
"Not bad!"
Ubatu nodded at him.
"Commander Wu, since this is the case, let's do as you say!"
Wu Chong really thought about it for a while, and felt that a country had no owner, and it would not be good if it continued like this for a long time, so he agreed to Ubatu.
"Farewell, eldest prince!"
Ubatu parted ways with him.
"Commander U, please!"
Uzhongzhen sent Ubatu out.
The two said goodbye.
Ubatu hurriedly sent the palace guards out of the palace to inform the civil and military officials of the Tibetan kingdom of Usi, and let them enter the palace early tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of letting the eldest prince temporarily take the throne of the king in the main hall of the palace.
He also went out of the palace and went to Umas, the important minister of Uszang.
Wu Chongzhen went to the marble bath to take a bath, and when he returned to his room, he lay down on the bed.
After dawn, as soon as he got out of bed, the maids Xiaomei and Xiaohua pushed the door and came in.
"The eldest prince, you're back!"
When Xiaomei and Xiaohua saw him, a smile appeared on their faces and they shouted in surprise.
"Well, Xiaomei, Xiaohua, I'm back!"
Ushige smiled at them.
"Prince, you sit down first, let's go and come early!"
Mei and Hua shouted at him and asked him to sit down at the table.
The two of them left the room and went to the dining hall to serve breakfast.
The eldest prince has been missing for more than a month, and the two of them are also very worried, frowning and sullen all day long, afraid that he will never come back.
They quickly brought breakfast and placed it on the round table in the room.
After Wu Chongzhen ate the breakfast brought by the two, Xiaomei and Xiaohua tidied up for him.
He left the palace of the great prince and hurried to the main hall of the palace.
In the main hall of the royal palace of the Tibetan kingdom of Usi, the ministers gathered.
The throne of the Great King Wu Chong Buddha was empty, and on the right side of the throne stood Ubatu, the commander of the palace guards, and on the left stood the old eunuch.
The retainers stood in two columns, left and right.
On the left stood the generals, and on the right stood the ministers.
Umas, the important minister of the Tibetan kingdom of Us, stood on the right.
The national teacher Usiba and apprentice who usually stood on the left are no longer there.
Wu Chongzhen walked to the main hall of the palace.
"The eldest prince is back!"
"The eldest prince is back!"
"The eldest prince is back!"
The ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides were surprised when they saw Wu Chongzhen appear in the main hall, and they all cheered loudly.
"Prince, you have been missing for more than a month, where did you go?"
Umas, who looked at Umas, looked at him with a solemn face and said his questions to him.
This is also the concern of the ministers in the palace hall.
"One night more than a month ago, this prince tracked down the national teacher Usiba and his apprentice Wu Ghost pretending to be palace guards and took the king, queen and little prince out of the palace.
Uzhongjin stepped forward and stood in front of Umas, answering in a loud voice.
He only said it to Ubatu, the commander of the palace guards, last night, and did not say it to the ministers in the main hall, such a ridiculous thing, even if he said it, I am afraid it would be difficult for this group of ministers to believe it.
"The eldest prince, you said that you traced down the master and apprentice of Usba pretending to be palace guards and took the king, queen and little prince out of the palace, could it be that their master and apprentice wanted to rebel and murder the king?"
Ubatu, who was standing next to the throne of the Great King, walked down, stood beside Umas, and asked Wu Chongzhen with a serious expression.
The matter of Usiba's master and apprentice, Ubatu and Uzhongzhen know best, and the reason why Ubatu asked Uzhongzhen so much in the palace hall is to expose the fact that Usiba's master and apprentice want to rebel.
"That's right, Master Usipa pretended to be a palace guard and took the king, queen and little prince out of the palace, just to rebel and murder the king!"
Wu Chong really understood Ubatu's intentions, and immediately replied with an angry face, affirming that U Sipa's master and apprentice were going to rebel in front of the ministers.
"No wonder the king, the queen and the little prince went out of the palace early that morning, it turned out that they were taken away by the guards pretending to be the two of uspa, no wonder the master and apprentice didn't appear in the palace hall that morning!"
Umas listened to Wu Chongzhen's words, screamed in his mouth, and suddenly realized.
"The humble position has long expected that the master and apprentice of Usba are too powerful and ambitious, and now they are really rebelling!"
A righteous general standing on the left spoke.
"Master and apprentice Uspa deserve death!"
Another Wenchen standing on the right shouted.
Most of the civil and military generals in the palace hall were dissatisfied with the arrogant and domineering Wu Siba master and apprentice who controlled the palace guard, and at this time heard the eldest prince say that Wu Siba master and apprentice rebelled, he was angry and reprimanded loudly.
"Lord Wu, you are an important minister of the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom, what do you think of the current situation?"
Ubatu turned to ask Umas.
"Commander Wu, now that the king has been taken away by Wu Siba's master and apprentice, according to the old minister's opinion, the best way is to find someone to temporarily take the throne of the king, and not let Wu Siba's master and apprentice have a chance!"
Umas pondered for a moment, then replied with a calm expression.
"Lord Wu, this commander also has this intention! Only when the inside can the outside be controlled, only when the inside is stable, can the ministers rest easy!"
Ubatu immediately agreed.
"Everyone, please be quiet, be quiet!"
Umas shouted at the courtiers in the palace hall, stretched out his hands and pressed down, making a quiet gesture.
The main hall of the palace suddenly fell silent.
"As the old saying goes: 'A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day'! A country with a king, a family without a master, this is a conclusion for the ages! Now it is confirmed that the king has been taken away by the master and apprentice of Uspa, and his life and death are unknown, and the top priority at the moment is to find a person to temporarily replace the throne of the king, and not to let the master and apprentice of Usipa take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos!"
Umas spoke out to his ministers.
He is an important minister of the Wusi Tibetan State, and his words naturally have weight.
"Lord Wu is right, we agree!"
The ministers in the palace hall echoed it.
"Master Wu, do you have a favorite candidate?"
Ubatu asked him in a loud voice, so that all the ministers in the main hall could hear him.
"Only the eldest prince can take on this role!"
Umas replied in a loud voice, his eyes looking at Ushige.
When he was in the Handsome Pavilion, Umas helped the eldest prince Wu Chongzhen and the princess Xiao Lingzi once, and fought for the two of them in front of the king Wu Chongfo in the main hall, so that the two were not severely punished, he did this because he was very optimistic about the eldest prince, and the king of the Tibetan Kingdom of Usi will definitely be the eldest prince in the future.
"Elect the eldest prince to temporarily take the throne of the king!"
"Elect the Great Prince!"
The civil ministers and military generals in the main hall chanted together.
Everyone waited for more than a month, and they were really tired of waiting, and they were also willing to choose the eldest prince to temporarily replace the king.
"Okay, let's ask the eldest prince to take the throne of the king temporarily!"
Umas announced to the ministers in the main hall.
Everyone was quiet.
"The Great Prince, please sit on the throne of the Great King!"
Ubatu looked at Wu Chongzhen and asked him to go up and sit on the throne of the Great King Wu Chong Buddha.
Wu Chongzhen faced the ministers and said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness! In this case, this prince should still not let him, and when he rescues his father, this prince will abdicate, and he will never covet the throne of the king!" After speaking, he stepped forward and sat on the throne of the king Wu Chongfo.
He has a righteous face, a solemn appearance, and has the momentum of being a king.
"Long live the King!"
Ubatu, the commander of the palace guards, stood below, raised his arms and shouted, kneeling down to greet him.
"Long live the King!"
Umas and the other ministers bowed down in unison.
"Ministers, flat!"
Wu Chongzhen smiled slightly and beckoned.
"King Xie!"
Everyone stood up.
Ubatu stepped forward and stood beside the throne of the Great King.
From this moment on, Wu Chongzhen became the new king of the Tibetan kingdom of Wusi.
