Chapter 280: Succession
Yue Feng walked to the corpse of the old man Zhou, his eyes were full of horror until he died, obviously he couldn't believe that his strength was enough to rank among the top three in the heavenly list in the hands of 'Meng Qiu'!
"Uncle Tai, such a great master of the Heavenly List has changed his name and surname, and has become the master of the Eighth Prince, it seems that the Wei State is indeed ambitious, and that's right, after all, the number one god list is in the Wei State, and it is also the strongest person in this world, how can he not be ambitious?" Yue Feng looked at the corpse in front of him, under the realm of the Dao, the precious treasures on Tai Shuchen's body were naturally all clear.
Immediately, the thought struck.
"Whew. ”
Uncle Tai's corpse was directly turned into powder and scattered to heaven and earth.
There are only a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings and other weapons, and there are also money bags with silver tickets and other things left.
As far as Yue Feng is concerned, once the fifty-year period expires, he can't take any treasures with him, but he also has to think about his sister Meng Yu, for the child Meng Yi, who is only one year old now, and for the Zhou Shan faction.
"Let's go. With the loot, Yue Feng swept across the sky with a whoosh, flashed in the night sky, and returned to his residence.
On the lonely street, only a few traces of blood remained.
This battle was silent, and no outsiders knew that Zhou Lao (Tai Shuchen) had died!
On this night, the people of the imperial capital were destined to have no sleep.
Candles are lit.
Yue Feng was reading leisurely in the study, and the realm of the Tao covered twenty miles away, and it has always shrouded the reputation family.
"Although I don't bother to pay attention to His Royal Highness the Prince, but killing the Uncle Taichen, I can be regarded as doing the prince a great favor. Yue Feng smiled, didn't bother to think about it, and read leisurely. For him, it doesn't make a difference who inherits the throne.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the sky was bright.
Dingguo Mansion, in a hall.
Yuqi sat there, restless in his heart, and the old lady on the side was also a little uneasy.
Because a lot of the information that came before was very unfavorable.
"Whoosh. ”
The door of the hall was always open, and a figure flew in from the outside, saluting respectfully as soon as it entered.
"How's it going?" asked Yuqi anxiously, standing up.
The gray-robed man said respectfully: "Lord Yu, Old Taijun, I just got the news from the palace that the king left an edict before he died, and let the eighth prince Li Cheng succeed to the throne in the edict. ”
Yuqi's face was brushed without the slightest blood, and he sat down directly, sitting with a dull and desperate look in his eyes.
"It's over, it's over. Yuqi's body trembled slightly.
"Eighth Prince?" The old lady's face was ugly, but she still waved her hand, and the gray-robed man bowed respectfully and retreated.
"This Li Cheng made a feud with me because of Yuan'er back then. Yuqi's voice trembled, "I was also young and vigorous back then, and I didn't look down on a prince who had no hope of inheriting the throne, who wanted him to be more and more powerful, and supported him more and more, of course I had to stand on the side of the prince, the prince was the prince, he had a great advantage, and he would inherit the throne in the future, and he would have a great grasp of it, who wanted to, who wanted to ......"
"Don't panic. The old lady on the side frowned and shouted.
"Grandmother. Yuqi looked at the old lady on the side, knelt down directly and said, "It's me, it's me, it's all my fault, let the family fall into such a field, this time I will do everything to help His Royal Highness the Prince, then Li Cheng must hate me even more."
Now he is in the ascendancy...... I won't be spared. ”
The old lady also understands that the Yu family is indeed in a big crisis.
Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been the most ruthless!
Even if there is no earlier hatred, the Yu family will fully support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the eighth prince 'Li Cheng' will not spare the Yu family when he inherits the throne!
"I'm going to see Meng Qiu now. The old lady got up.
"Meng Qiu. ”
Yu Qi's face turned pale, and he nodded and said, "Now only Meng Qiu can save my Duan family, but I have too much grudge with Li Cheng, and the king of Chu really wants to deal with my Yu family, for the sake of Meng Qiu's face, I am afraid that I will also cut off my reputation title, and I, the initiator, am afraid that I will not escape death." ”
"Don't panic, I'll go see Meng Qiu first. The old lady said.
Yue Feng was eating breakfast, and Gong Yan'er was also holding the child and feeding the child rice porridge.
"Master, the old lady of the Yu family asks to see you. Liu Qingmei said respectfully.
"Please come in, old lady. Yue Feng nodded and ordered, and then couldn't help but sigh, "That His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really useless, I helped with this, and I still lost in the end." ”
The decision of the state of Chu on the throne is not a sure succession of the crown prince.
The crown prince is in possession of many advantages.
But who will inherit the throne in the end is determined by the edict of the previous king!
This so-called 'testament' was naturally written by the victor.
This gave other princes a chance, so almost every generation of 'kings' went through brutal battles before they came out, which also made every king of Chu quite powerful.
The god of war 'Li Ru' sits in the imperial capital, watching the generations of princes in the imperial capital fight, he is there, and the imperial capital will not be chaotic.
Li Ru is very satisfied with this cruel competition and the final king.
"Old lady. Yue Feng saw the old lady of the Yu family coming over, followed by Meng Yu beside him, and immediately smiled, "Old lady, please take a seat." ”
The old lady smiled and sat down.
Meng Yu did it to the side, and Gong Yan'er was beside her.
"Little sister, Yan'er, you should go out first. Yue Feng commanded.
"Good. Meng Yu and Gong Yan'er both nodded hurriedly in response.
Soon only Yue Feng and Lao Taijun were left in the hall, and Liu Qingmei was guarding the door.
"Presumably Gongzi Meng already knows that the new king of my Chu State is the previous eighth prince. The old lady said, "When you ascend the throne today, you will announce it to the world." ”
A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day.
When the old king returns to heaven, the new king will succeed to the throne the next day, and he will mourn for the old king and announce it to the world.
"I heard. Yue Feng nodded.
"Now this king Li Cheng has an old grudge with my reputation family, and this time my reputation family has tried his best to help the former prince, this Li Cheng must hate my reputation family. The old lady said worriedly, "I can only come to ask Meng Gongzi, and ask Meng Gongzi to remember the friendship between my reputation and you, and the promise I made before, so that I can protect my reputation family." ”
"When I looked through the classics of your famous family Bai Yulou, I promised to protect your Duan family. Yue Feng smiled, "Don't worry, old lady." ”
The old lady nodded: "Meng Gongzi, if the king of Chu is determined to deal with my Yu family, Meng Gongzi is afraid that it will be difficult to stop him, it really can't be done, it is okay to cut off my Duan family's title, if it is not enough to cut off the title, I will also admit it if I lose Yuqi's life." ”
Although the status of the celestial list is extremely high, the king of Chu also has to be wooed.
But the king of Chu is the king of a country after all, and standing behind him is the god of war 'Li Ru', which family does he really want to destroy...... The masters of the heavenly list can't be completely stopped, at most, it depends on the face of the celestial masters, and they just fall lightly.
"The old lady just has to go back with peace of mind. Yue Feng said, "On the king's side, I will do my best to protect your Duan family." ”
"I thank Meng Gongzi. The old lady immediately bowed down to make a big salute, and Yue Feng immediately got up to stop him: "Old lady, you don't have to be like this. ”
"Trouble Meng Gongzi. ”
Only then did the old lady leave.
It's just that when she left, she was still uneasy: "Meng Qiu will do his best to help my Yu family, but the new king succeeds to the throne, it is the most high-spirited time, can he keep it? I hope to give up the title and lose Yu Qi's life, so that my Yu family can escape this catastrophe." ”
After all, the Yu family is a big family, and the old lady has to consider the lives of thousands of people in the entire family, so she would rather make some sacrifices.
In the imperial capital, in the pavilion on the first floor of the green building, three men are gathering here.
"This time, Zhou Lao Ke made the eighth prince miserable, almost, almost the eighth prince was finished. ”
"I really didn't expect that the eighth prince would be able to turn the tables in a desperate situation!"
"The eighth prince is really powerful. ”
All three of them were beaming with joy.
"By the way, Black Eagle, is Old Zhou in East Lake outside the city?"
"No! I just sent someone to look for me. ”
"It's not in East Lake, it's troublesome, I sent someone to look for Zhou Lao last night, but I couldn't find it in the imperial capital, and now he is not in East Lake outside the city, where did he go?"
"Zhou Lao is often elusive, and sometimes he disappears in retreat, but there is usually a message, and last night was so important, Zhou Lao shouldn't just disappear quietly. ”
All three of them were a little flustered.
Mr. Zhou is the supreme leader of the Wei State in this imperial capital!
Mr. Zhou's identity is so secret that even the three of them don't know that Mr. Zhou's real name is 'Uncle Tai'.
"Zhou Lao's real strength, it is rumored that there are the top five on the heavenly list, that is, when he meets Li Ru, the god of war of Chu State, he has the hope of escaping, so he shouldn't just disappear. ”
"Look again, if you can't find Mr. Zhou in a day today, you have to immediately report the news to Wei Du. ”
All three of them make decisions.
The people of Wei are also secretly and frantically looking for Mr. Zhou today.
The imperial capital, even outside the imperial capital, is being searched everywhere.
It's doomed......
They will never find that old Mr. Zhou!
And on that day, that is, the twenty-ninth day of the thirty-sixth year of Hongbao of Chu State!
The new monarch of Chu State, 'Li Cheng', inherited the unification and became the seventh monarch of Chu State, and mourned for the old king.
In the entire imperial capital, white silk is flying everywhere, Qinglou restaurants and other places are closed, and marriage and entertainment are prohibited during the national funeral.
