(Thank you, Alliance master, for the 50000 dollars reward from the Three Kingdoms.)
The phenomenon where a part of the electromagnetic energy emitted by the source of the field left the source and spread far away, and then no longer returned to the source of the field was called radiation.
It mainly spread out in the form of electromagnetic waves and particles.
As long as it was not absolute zero, everything would have radiation, including cell phone signals, microwave ovens, and so on. The only difference was the amount of radiation.
Therefore, when you see radiation, you don’t have to immediately think of a nuclear bomb.
When Shen lang was about to activate the gem, he immediately sensed a strong radiation.
He immediately stopped this action.
Then, he examined the wound on ning yuanxian’s chest again. If his guess was correct, it was this gemstone button that had dealt a fatal blow to ning yuanxian at the critical moment.
The current ning yuanxian seemed to be in a vegetative state, but his condition was even worse. The breathing and heartbeat of a person in a vegetative state were still normal, and there were still conditioned reflexes. He would even yawn and chew subconsciously. But ning yuanxian really did not move, as if he was really dead.
It was obvious that the gem had caused great damage to ning yuanxian’s brain and nerves in a short period of time, so much so that he almost did not have any conditioned reflexes.
Next, Shen lang tried to check the nerve reflex arc of ning yuanxian’s body.
There was still no response.
This thing was definitely not a product of this world. It definitely came from an ancient ruin.
From the minute details, one could see how many things these Supreme powers had excavated from the ancient ruins.
“Where did you get this button?” Shen lang asked.
it’s a token of love between His Majesty and his first wife, ” concubine Bian said. it was originally a gem on a hairpin. After the death of the Sovereign Lord Jiang Li, the Emperor divorced his first wife. She took the emperor’s hairpin and passed away not long after. It wasn’t until a few years ago that this hairpin reappeared.”
“Who gave this to Your Majesty?” Shen lang asked.
it’s His Highness, ” concubine Bian said. he said he found it by accident at home.
“Concubine Bian, please continue,” Shen lang said.
Concubine Bian said, ” at that time, this hairpin had been covered in dust for a long time. Furthermore, this was a silver hairpin. Over the years, it had turned black. It was also deformed to a certain extent. Her Majesty had someone make buttons and sew them on her clothes.”
This way, it was closer to her heart. This also represented the guilt and longing of ning yuanxian’s first wife.
Shen lang looked at the gem under the sun. There were no flaws.
He was amazed.
The methods of these Supreme powers to harm people were completely impossible to guard against.
When Shen lang heard this, he was almost certain that the gemstone had been swapped.
The token of love given to ning yuanxian by his first wife was an ordinary gem, but the Crown Prince must have given him a special gem from the sky-Sea Pavilion.
The people who handled this matter should be the Zhu family.
He had wanted to kill the king, ning yuanxian, ten years ago.
It was not easy to hold back until now.
However, it was not the Zhu family who had decided to do it. It was the sky-Sea Pavilion.
Previously, Shen lang had been curious about the legendary venomous insects on stupa mountain. What did sky-Sea Pavilion have? What right does it have to be so awesome?
He could finally see it now.
It was really extremely awesome.
This special gem allowed Shen lang to see the tip of the iceberg of the sky-Sea Pavilion.
However, Shen lang still did not believe that the sky-Sea Pavilion had created the gemstone. Perhaps, they had dug it out from an ancient ruin.
“Can he be saved?” Ning Zheng asked.
this is the method of the ancient civilization, ” Shen lang said. it can’t be saved by medical means.
“Give me twelve hours, I’ll do a few experiments.” Shen lang continued, ” however, don’t have too much hope. I’ve only been testing for the past 12 hours.
........................
In the next 12 hours, Shen lang continued to experiment.
He used a white mouse as an experiment.
He first tried to use violence to destroy the gem, and it would release its attack power.
This kind of attack was not like electricity, but it was somewhat similar.
In an instant, the white mouse entered a state of near death.
First, it was the paralysis of the nerves in the whole body, and then the silence of the entire brain.
He looked very similar to ning yuanxian.
Next, Shen lang tried all sorts of methods to save her.
He had used all sorts of potions.
All failed!
Even the other two pills he had brought out from the ancient ruins were completely ineffective.
Previously, Shen lang had helped stupa mountain to open the entrance to the ancient ruins on Black Rock Island and obtained this bottle of ancient potion.
One of them was the marrow-washing essence that was used by Mulan, leaving two unknown pills.
Shen lang had studied it many times, but he still did not know what the two pills were for.
He used a silver needle to extract the liquid from the two pills and tried to save the white mouse.
It was completely useless.
In 12 hours, Shen lang had done dozens of experiments.
All failed!
........................
my experiments have all failed.
this gem comes from an ancient ruin and is unknown to me. If I want to save His Majesty, I must first understand what this is.
“Only the methods of the ancient civilization can save His Majesty.”
“I want to go to the Great Southern kingdom to see Jin Jun. Give me a month’s time.”
Shen lang quickly ordered.
“I’ll go with you.” Li qianqiu and Zhong chuke said at the same time.
“Li qianqiu, you can just follow me.” in the next few months, ” Shen lang said, ” no one will try to assassinate me. No one will dare to do so.
This was the second time that Shen lang had said something like that. Everyone was still confused.
“One month, give me one month!”
Then, Shen lang did not stop and left the palace with li qianqiu.
Hiding his tracks, he left the capital at night and once again entered Tianxi province.
..................
They passed through the southern part of Tianxi province and entered the Qiang Kingdom.
From the Qiang Kingdom to the South, they passed through countless jungles and entered the capital of the sand primitive tribe once again.
Li qianqiu and Shen lang used less than seven days to cover the few thousand miles. In the beginning, Shen lang was on a carriage, and it was a carriage pulled by three horses. It was extremely fast. After entering the sand primitive tribe’s territory, Shen lang sat on the rattan chair and was carried by li qianqiu.
But even so, he was so tired that he was almost twitching.
When he reappeared in front of shayin, the other party was a little surprised.
“Master, do you recognize this?” Shen lang passed the gemstone over. He was filled with hope.
Shayin checked it carefully a few times, then shook his head and said, ” “I don’t.”
This is f * cking troublesome.
Shayin didn’t know either.
“Is Jin-Jun here?” Shen lang asked.
When he left the capital, Ning Zheng immediately sent a Messenger to the South to enter the capital of Nanda to meet Jin Jun and inform her of the matter.
“His Majesty is not here.” “He’s handling another important matter within the borders of Nan ou,” said shayin.”He’s trying to salvage the situation after he withdrew his troops from Yue State. However, his Messenger Crow has already arrived and he wants me to cooperate with you unconditionally.”
Shen lang said, ” the king of Yue, ning yuanxian, wanted to make Ning Zheng the Crown Prince. The sky-Sea Pavilion used this to kill the king at the crucial moment. It could release strange attacks and completely knock down the king of Yue’s brain and nerves. “At this moment, the king of Yue is like a dead man. He has no intuition, and his entire body’s nerves are not responding.”
Shayin Imperial Preceptor carefully examined the item again.
But he still couldn’t find any clues.
“There are only two ways now.” “The first method is to read the ancient civilization’s classics,” shayin Imperial Preceptor said. The second method is to seek help from a transcendent power.”
The second method was impossible.
Stupa mountain would not save ning yuanxian, and white jade City would not either.
There was no snow here, so it was not within white jade city’s territory.
“Emperor Jiang Li, have you deciphered most of the ancient books in the ten thousand snakes cave?” Shen lang asked.
“That’s right,” shayin Imperial Preceptor said.
“Then, did he say anything about this in his analysis?” Shen lang asked.
Shayin Imperial Preceptor thought for a while and shook his head, ” “No, I didn’t!”
Shen lang said,”what is the percentage of ancient books that Emperor Jiang Li deciphered?” It’s in all the books and records in the ancient ruins.”
“Less than five percent.” Shayin said.
“Do you still have the remaining ancient books?” Shen lang asked.
“Here!” Shayin said.
“Inside or outside the ruins?” Shen lang asked.
After a moment of silence, shayin Imperial Preceptor said, ” they’re outside the ancient ruins. It’s easier to take the books away. That’s why his Majesty brought them all out. Of course, there are still many important things in the remains, because most of them have not been explored.”
“Can I borrow the ancient books?” Shen lang asked.
As mentioned before, the ancient records were engraved in layers of Jade using a very special method.
A box of ancient books the size of playing cards might contain hundreds of thousands of words and hundreds of pictures.
Most people would need decades to decipher an ancient record.
The six transcendent powers had spent a thousand years to decipher countless ancient records. This was the source of their strength.
“Young master Shen lang, how much time do you have?” Nation Master shayin asked.
“At most, half a month to analyze it,” Shen lang said.
“Half a month?” Imperial Preceptor shayin said,”it’ll be difficult to crack even half a scroll of the ancient ruins. Ancient records are extremely precious, but there are also many types of them. To find the record of this gem in half a month is probably harder than finding a needle in a haystack.”
That was true, but Shen lang had the X-ray scan and the smart-brain.
He didn’t need to decipher it. He just needed to scan it continuously and record down any relevant knowledge points he found.
“There’s one more thing.” only his Majesty knows where these ancient books are, ” shayin Imperial Preceptor said. I don’t know where they are hidden.
Ugh!
This was very normal. These ancient ruins were extremely precious, and Jin Jun would definitely want to keep them for herself.
There was a limit to how much he could trust others.
“I can immediately send a Messenger Crow to His Majesty and ask him to come over.” “But the round trip will take at least ten days,” shayin Imperial Preceptor said.
Shen Lang’s heart skipped a beat.
Ten days? He didn’t have ten days to waste.
“I’ll immediately write a letter to His Majesty.”
............
Just four hours later.
Not long after shayin Imperial Preceptor’s Secret letter flew over, Jin Jun appeared.
Could it be that fast?
“A few days ago, after I saw Ning Zheng’s Messenger, I rushed over on my own while sending a letter to the state preceptor. I think my brother might need my help, but there are still some things that Imperial Preceptor can’t decide.” “What do I need to do?” Jin Jun asked.
“I need to read a large number of ancient books,” Shen lang said.
“Alright!” Jin Jun said!
........................
Two hours later!
Thousands of ancient books appeared in front of Shen lang.
It was a block, not a scroll.
Every ancient record was like a Jade brick.
There were layers upon layers of information engraved on it.
Jin Jun left.
He gave the entire space to Shen lang.
Then, Shen lang went into a reading session.
He scanned these ancient books layer by layer with his X-Ray Eyes. He didn’t need to read them. He just directly stored the scanned contents into the smart-brain.
Once the keyword was triggered, the AI would immediately remind Shen lang.
This was a huge workload.
There were 1900 ancient books here, each of which had nearly a thousand pages of content.
Thus, there were close to two million pages in total.
Even if Shen lang scanned a page every second, he would need 555 hours, which was a total of 23 days.
After a few hours.
Shen lang felt like his eyes and brain were about to explode.
However, he had no choice but to continue.
..................
While Shen lang was scanning through the ancient books, the environment in the capital was getting worse.
In Tian Yue city.
The Army under Ning Zheng’s control was more than 20000.
The Army under ning Qi’s control was about ten thousand people.
The 60,000 troops of the Zhong clan in the northern part of Tianxi province still did not make any moves.
Zhang zixu’s more than 10000 people in the southern part of Tianxi province also did not move.
Zhang Ji had officially taken office as the governor of Tianbei province and had taken control of the power of Tianbei province in the shortest time possible.
Bian Xiao’s 70000 troops were ready to go.
The king, ning yuanxian, was still motionless like a dead man.
Thirteen days after he fainted, another piece of bad news came.
Empress Dowager Wang had collapsed.
There shouldn’t be any conspiracy. The Empress Dowager didn’t have much time left.
She was already close to eighty years old. Her body had been fine before, but ever since Crown Prince Ning Yi had been captured, her body had been deteriorating.
Ning Yi was his most beloved grandson. After his accident, the Queen Mother had fainted. When he woke up again, there was a major problem with his body, and his mind was getting more and more blurred. He was almost lying in bed all day long and did not have much time to be awake.
After the emperor’s death, Ning Zheng and Li Sun had sent people to protect the Empress Dowager at the first moment.
If Ning Zheng wanted to be crowned King one day, he would need to be conferred the title of King by a Big Shot.
If the monarch couldn’t wake up, then the Empress Dowager would do it.
But now, even the Empress Dowager had collapsed.
According to eunuch li ‘en, the Empress Dowager had not woken up even before she died. She kept muttering AWU, little Wingsy, and little han.
In other words, the Empress Dowager’s favorite son was not ning yuanxian, but ning Yuanwu.
Her most beloved grandsons were ning Yi and Ning Han.
After the Empress Dowager’s death, the situation became even more dangerous.
..................
The people below kept admonishing Ning Zheng and quickly took action.
Taking advantage of the advantage of the number of soldiers in their hands, even if they couldn’t destroy ning Qi, they could at least drive them out of the capital completely and then make themselves King.
However, Ning Zheng did not agree.
He knew that if he were to start a war now, he would become a rebel, and the Empire’s Army would definitely enter Yue country.
In fact, the hearts of the people in the capital, and even many officials, were on his side.
It was simply too vile to murder an Emperor.
Even the officials who had supported ning Qi before would feel fear and coldness.
Ning Qi was a person who did things by unscrupulous means.
Not only did he kill his own younger brother, but now he even tried to kill his own father.
Other than the staunch supporters of the Zhu, Zhong, and Xue families, most of the officials had fallen into silence.
At this time, silence meant resistance.
The capital was now in a state of war.
The curfew was still in effect, but the daytime curfew was partially lifted.
Other than the grain stores, pharmacies, and other stores that were related to the livelihood of the people, all the other stores were still closed.
Even the grain stores and medicine rooms could only be opened for four hours a day.
If this had happened in the past, the people of the capital would have been furious.
But now, they were quietly enduring it.
Ning yuanxian was a King with a bad reputation, but the last Tsar was still called ” little father ” by countless people. Ning yuanxian’s reputation was much better than that of the last Tsar.
He was harsh to his officials, but he was good to the common people.
During the war of the kingdom of Nan ou, they did not forcefully expropriate civilians for labor. They still gave them food and money.
Now, their King of Yue had actually fallen in the Imperial court.
Of course, no matter if it was the minister’s desk or the Bureau of Military Affairs, there was no public news. They only said that the king was slightly afraid.
And there was a lot of private news that the monarch had a stroke again. After all, he had suffered a stroke before. It was normal for him to suffer a stroke again.
But no one believed it.
People naturally liked conspiracy theories.
Stroke?
Who would believe that?
Why did he have to suffer a stroke when he was being conferred the title of Crown Prince?
Someone must have murdered His Majesty.
Who murdered him?
Whoever benefits will be the murderer.
This reminded people of the murder of King Chu.
In the hearts of all the people, ning Qi was the one who had murdered King Chu, and they even regarded him as a hero.
But now, it was the Prince of Yue’s turn to be murdered.
The mindset of the people of Yue country would change completely.
Traitor, traitor.
A person who killed the Emperor and his father was not worthy of being a King.
........................
“Now, in the eyes of countless people, I am the king Slayer.” Ning Qi laughed at himself.
“In the thousand years of history, it’s not like there haven’t been any Kings who killed their own emperors to ascend the throne. As long as they do well enough, they’ll still be the Kings of the ages,” Zhu hongzhu said.
Ning Qi sneered in his heart. The King of the ages? Will the Empire of Yan give me this chance?
Of course, there were examples like what Zhu Hong had said.
Li Shimin had killed his own brother and imprisoned his father, Li Yuan, before finally becoming the Emperor of the ages.
Song Taizong, Zhao Guangyi, was said to have murdered Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor. This was the so-called Axe’s sound and candle’s shadow, but he was still a monarch with status.
However, the vast majority of rulers who killed their brothers and fathers did not have a good ending.
“If I were to tell all the people of the world that everything I’ve done is for the sake of the Yue country, would anyone believe me?”
“I believe you,” Zhu Hong said.
However, the two of them looked at each other and read the sarcasm in each other’s hearts.
It was ridiculous to talk about trust between two great conspirators.
I didn’t expect it, ” ning Qi said. your Zhu family has been thinking about killing my father one day since ten years ago.
it has nothing to do with the Zhu family, ” Zhu hongzhu said. we’re not the insiders.
At this moment, Xue che said,”there’s no point in saying all this now.” The key question now is whether Ning Zheng will make a move and start a war.”
In the entire secret room.
There were a few people sitting there, and they were all big shots.
Zhu Hong, ning Qi, Zhong ‘e, Xue che, Shu botao.
He had invited eldest Princess ning Jie, but she did not come.
He didn’t come when they invited the governor of the black water tower, qu ‘e, but these two people were on ning Qi’s side.
“Fifth brother won’t start a war.” “Without father’s decree, once fifth brother starts a war with me, the Empire’s Army will March South and take complete control of tianyue city. To put it bluntly, he would rather Yue country fall into my hands than to fall into the hands of the Empire.”
As soon as he said that, everyone’s faces turned a little awkward.
This was because Zhu hongzhu was a citizen of the Empire, so was Shu botao of the hidden faction, and even Xue che had an unclear relationship with the great Yan Empire.
“According to your Highness’s understanding of Ning Zheng, what will he do?” Xue che asked.
“I don’t know,” “I’m not him,” ning Qi said.
Ning Qi actually had a rough answer in his heart, but he was not willing to say it.
Then, ning Qi asked,”when will the Imperial envoy of the Empire arrive?” There’s no need to wait any longer, Ning Zheng won’t start a war.”
After the fall of ning yuanxian, the Empire of Yan could have sent an Imperial envoy to the South to take charge of the situation.
However, they didn’t send any.
It was clear that they were waiting for Ning Zheng and ning Qi to start a war.
After that, the Empire would have the right to send an Army into the State of Yue to mediate.
He wanted peace, not war.
However, the country was suddenly gone.
This wasn’t the first or second time something like this had happened on earth.
“He should be here soon!”
..................
As expected, it came!
Nineteen days after ning yuanxian’s death, the Imperial envoy of the great Yan Empire finally entered the capital of Yue State from the South.
It was still an old acquaintance, Prince Lian of the Empire.
He first visited ning yuanxian on behalf of the Emperor, who was still in a state of uncertainty, to express his regret.
After that, they would send the Empire’s Imperial physicians to treat him.
Of course, this kind of treatment was meaningless.
Next, Prince Lian personally went to mourn for the Queen Mother of Yue country and gave her many instructions.
They had to hurry up and hold a funeral for the Empress Dowager, enter the Royal Mausoleum, and rest in peace.
Why was the coffin always in the hall?
Now that ning yuanxian had fallen, and the position of the young Emperor had not been decided, no one was qualified to hold a large funeral for the Empress Dowager.
Prince Lian was urging the Yue country to quickly settle the matter of the young Emperor.
“My condolences, Queen!”
Prince Lian of the Empire then expressed his condolences to the wife of the king of Yue, ning yuanxian, who was also the Queen.
At this point!
The Queen, Zhu, who had been under house arrest, finally regained her freedom.
This was a bad sign.
With the fall of ning yuanxian and the death of the Queen Mother, the highest position in the entire royal family was the Queen, the Zhu family.
On the matter of the Crown Prince, he had enough authority to speak.
“The country can’t go a day without a ruler,” Prince Lian said.”Is tianyue city going to be closed until the end of the year?” Would the political leaders of the Yue country completely stop? When I was heading south, His Majesty the Emperor said that the Crown Prince of Yue country should be quickly decided. We can’t delay any longer. Filial piety is the most important thing.”
“Yes.” Madam Zhu said respectfully.
Prince Lian said,”Ning Zheng, ning Qi, you are all here. The people from the State of Yue’s Council of Ministers and the Bureau of Military Affairs are also here.” Then I’ll make a statement here, and you guys can do as you see fit.”
“We will obey your Imperial Highness” orders.”
Prince Lian said, ” tomorrow’s court conference will be hosted by the Queen of Yue. I will also sit by the side. But don’t worry. I will only bring my eyes and ears, not my mouth. How about it? ”
“Sure,” ning Qi said.
“Sure!” Ning Zheng said.
..............................
The next day, Yue country finally resumed its Court Assembly.
The Queen’s curtain was closed, and Prince Lian of the Empire sat on the side to supervise.
“His Majesty has suffered a stroke and is still unconscious, but the country can not go a day without a ruler.” Zhu hongzhu said,”the matter of selecting a Crown Prince is His Majesty’s decision. We can only make suggestions, not decisions.” Now that the Empress Dowager has fallen, the royal family is only left with the Queen.”
Zhu hongzhu looked at the Yue Queen and said,”Your Majesty the Queen, do you have any objections?” Which Prince should I choose?”
The Queen, Madam Zhu, was Zhu Hong’s daughter, but he still bowed meticulously.
“My mind is in a mess, I don’t know what choice I should make.” Moreover, the harem can not meddle in politics. I have rarely had my own opinions, so I will listen to all the officials.”
“My fellow officials, my fellow men in the Bureau of Military Affairs, what do you think?” Zhu hongzhu could not help but ask.
The few of them shook their heads, indicating that they couldn’t say anything about the matter of the Crown Prince.
He was really hypocritical.
When the king, ning yuanxian, asked you guys before, you all said that you supported ning Qi.
Now, it became difficult to speak.
In the end, after discussing for more than an hour, no rules were set.
“If we continue like this, there won’t be a result next year,” Prince Lian said angrily.
“Please give us your instructions,” Zhu hongzhu said.
“It’s not like this hasn’t happened in the past thousand years,” Prince Lian said. The king was gone, so there was no way to crown a Crown Prince. The ministers didn’t have the qualifications to choose, so they chose the king! How about we follow the Constitution of the Qian country 375 years ago?”
King selection system?
This world actually had such a thing?
There was one on earth, but in 1572, King Auguste of the Bolan Kingdom died, and the throne was vacant. The aristocrats in the country fought each other until they were bleeding, and then the aristocrat King selection system was born.
The first king that was finally elected was actually the brother of the King of France/Henry. In order to better control the king, this group of strange nobles would rather choose a foreigner to be their King.
This was similar to Emperor Guangxu’s attempt to invite ito Bowen to be the Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty.
“Of course, only the son of the king of Yue is qualified to participate in this King selection assembly.”
“How many sons does the king of Yue have in court?”
“Ning Qi, Ning Yan, Ning Zheng, Ning Jing, the four of you are the only adult princes in Tian Yue city.” “Tell me, who is willing to participate in the king selection?” Prince Lian asked.
“I’m willing,” ning Qi stepped out and said.
“I’m willing,” Ning Zheng stepped out.
Ning Meng did not say a word and looked down at her shoes.
He had once followed Crown Prince Ning Yi and was considered very active. He was also very close to the Zhu family.
But now, he was really afraid that a stone would smash him into a pulp.
The sixth Prince, Ning Jing, was restless, his heart trembling with excitement.
I-I’m also qualified to participate?
There were ten thousand things he wanted to participate in, but he didn’t have the guts to.
“I, I’m Yingluo”
“Ning Jing, you’re also going to participate, right?” Prince Lian’s eyes turned cold.
As soon as he said this, Ning Jing quickly shrank back.
“No, I’m not.” Ning jingmo laughed.
It’s good that you know that. If you dare to come out and choose today, you’ll be finished in a few days.
“Then let ning Qi and Ning Zheng choose the king,” Prince Lian said.
“If father wakes up and the result of the king selection is different from his, what will happen?” Ning Zheng stepped out of the ranks and said.
“What do you want?” Prince Lian frowned.
“Of course, we have to follow my Father’s will,” Ning Zheng said.
“Can’t the position of the Crown Prince be decided as long as the Prince of Yue doesn’t wake up?” Prince Lian asked.
“We’ll first choose a person to preside over the court,” Ning Zheng said.”The buffer period is one month. If Royal father awakens within this time, then we will naturally follow Royal father’s decree. If Royal father doesn’t wake up, then it’s a different matter.”
Prince Lian thought for a while and said, ” “What do you all think? Zhu Hong, Zhong ‘e, ning Qi, ning Qi, what do you think?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
In the hearts of Zhu hongzhu, ning Qi, and the others, it was impossible for the king, ning yuanxian, to wake up.
“Then it’s decided.” Prince Lian said. First, a Prince would be elected from the king selection assembly to preside over the court. If the king of Yue awakens within a month, he will naturally continue to be the Crown Prince. However, if the king of Yue doesn’t wake up, then the Prince in charge of the state will automatically become the Crown Prince of Yue.”
“Queen, and all the officials of the Yue State, do you have any objections?”
“No, I didn’t!”
“That’s good. All the officials in the court today are qualified to vote. You can vote for the Crown Prince that you think is suitable. Everyone has one vote, no name.”
After a while.
Every official present had a brush and a special piece of paper in their hands.
The paper had a unique pattern and could not be forged in a short time.
dear subjects of Yue country, the person you are about to elect is likely to inherit the throne in the future. I hope you will put the overall situation first. Be careful, careful, and more careful!
“Start filling in, just write down your name on the paper, either Ning Zheng or ning Qi. Of course, if you don’t write it, it means you’re forfeiting.”
With an order.
The hundreds of officials of Yue State began to write their names on the paper.
They would write down the name of whoever they felt was suitable to be the Crown Prince.
After writing it, he folded it so that no one could see it.
Half an hour later, everyone had finished writing.
A few eunuchs went to collect the tickets with gold basins.
15 minutes later, all the tickets were collected.
Then, in front of everyone, he began to count the votes.
The Imperial Lian Prince, Zhu Hong, Zhong ‘e and the others were quite relaxed.
Because the result had already been decided.
More than 80% of the officials and military in the court would support ning Qi.
Ning Zheng had always been weak.
This King selection system seemed fair, but it was actually the most unfair.
Ning Qi was going to win!
However, as the voting continued ...
Everyone’s expression changed!
“Ning Zheng, Ning Zheng, ning Qi, Ning Zheng hehe.”
In the beginning, of the 15 votes, Ning Zheng actually had 10 votes, while ning Qi only had 5.
He actually had an overwhelming advantage?
What’s going on with Yingluo?
Did he see a ghost?
........................
Meanwhile, in the capital of the Great South, seven days and seven nights had passed. Shen lang did not sleep or rest as he continued to scan and scan.
His entire body was withered and on the verge of collapse.
He had never suffered such a sin before, but he really did not dare to waste a single second.
Even if he was a little late, he was afraid that there would be a huge crisis.
He scanned through hundreds of thousands of pages of the ancient secret manual, but he did not find any record of that special gem.
It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It was like finding a page of material in tens of thousands of books in a library without a catalog.
But,
Suddenly, at a certain moment.
Shen lang suddenly quivered.
He found it, he found it.
The monarch was saved.

[ note: 17000 more today. I’m exhausted again! ] Everyone, do you still have monthly votes in your pockets? The desserts won’t let you down!
Thank you for the 20000 Yuan and 10000 Yuan tips.
