Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 371
Even though Huan Chang was unwilling in his heart, seeing the firm expression on the faces of Song Renjun soldiers, he still didn't know how to say no.

Huan Chang had no choice but to turn his attention to Song Gong and others for help.

However, at this moment, how could Song Gong and others be willing to stand up, they simply knelt down on the ground and begged Huan Chang to take the position of Song Guojun.

Song Gong and others knew very well that the reason why the Song Kingdom was able to stand upright and still not fall today was inseparable from Shujian Pavilion and Song Renjun.

No matter how powerful Song Gong is now, if he doesn't get the support of Shu Jiange and Song Renjun, it is possible to secure the position of monarch.

Instead of being kicked out by Song Renjun, Song Gong simply abdicated and let the virtuous, so as to win Huanchang's favor and continue to contribute to Song in the future.

In the spacious stone house, only Huan Chang stood there helplessly, and the rest were all kneeling on the ground.

Even though Huan Chang has been in the rivers and lakes for several years and is used to all kinds of world situations, he still doesn't know how to deal with being bowed down by everyone like this.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly!"

Huan Chang hurried forward to help Song Gong, but Song Gong didn't get up at all, and the rest of them didn't move at all.

"It is not my wish to inherit the position of the monarch, and it is not a good thing for Song Guo, but if I do not inherit the position of the monarch, these loyal Song Renjun will probably not agree."

"As long as Song Renjun disagrees, Duke Song may insist on abdicating."

Huan Chang felt extremely distressed at this time, and didn't know how to make a choice at all, so he could only let everyone get up quickly.

However, these people seemed to have made up their minds, they just knelt on the ground with their heads down, and they didn't get up anyway, to show their determination.

After standing in a stalemate for a long time, when Huan Chang looked at the people kneeling on the ground and felt uncomfortable, he suddenly had an idea.

"Everyone please hurry up, I agree to take over the position of the monarch!"

As soon as Huan Chang said this, the faces of the commander in white and the generals of the Song Ren army all showed excitement.

As for Song Gong, Anyang Jun and others, their expressions changed slightly.

Although their facial expressions changed only for an instant, they were caught by the commander in white, and immediately raised his eyes, and his sharp gaze swept over everyone, making them feel cold all over.

However, the commander-in-chief in white didn't show his sharpness too much, he just warned Song Gong and others with his eyes, and immediately led the generals of Song Renjun to stand up.

"Since the lord has agreed to take over as the monarch, please choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne. I, Song Renjun, will swear allegiance to the death!"

"I, Song Renjun, will swear allegiance to the death!"

The generals of Song Renjun also shouted in unison, the sound was as magnificent as a huge thunder, and it shook everyone's ears.

As for Song Gong, Anyang Jun and others, they all stood up at this time, but their faces did not change at all, because they had already seen a deep warning from the eyes of the commander in white.

"I will swear allegiance to the death!"

After Song Renjun swore allegiance, Song Gong and others also raised their heads and shouted, offering their loyalty.

"Okay, since you all want me to inherit the throne of the Song Kingdom, it is better to hit the sun than choose the day. Now go to the ancestor's mausoleum and let me inherit the throne!"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

They still couldn't figure out why Huan Chang, who had tried his best to reject him just now, had changed his original intention in an instant and wanted to become the king so eagerly.

Not only Song Gong and others, but even the commander in white felt something was wrong.

"My lord, it is not a trivial matter for the monarch to abdicate. We should choose a good day and auspicious day, and then publish the announcement to the world, and call all the officials in the court, so as to show the majesty of the Song Dynasty."

"If the lord is to hastily inherit the position of the monarch now, I'm afraid there will be something wrong."

Huan Chang's face turned serious when he heard the words, and said: "I am not greedy for the position of the monarch, but 300 years have passed since the last wish made by the ancestor Xianggong, and you have been guarding your promise for a long time."

"I will inherit the throne as soon as possible. Not only will I be able to understand the last wishes of my ancestors, but I will also allow you to fulfill the vows you made. Why not do it?"

"What's more, the state of Song is now a small country with little wealth. Even if the monarch abdicates, it can't waste the country's power. Everything should be kept simple."

"Today is considered an auspicious day, let's complete the abdication in front of the ancestor's mausoleum."

Huan Chang's words were full of unquestionable tone. Although everyone thought it was too childish, no one objected.

They could still rush towards Song Xianggong's mausoleum with anxiety.

Song Xianggong's mausoleum is magnificent.

Huan Chang stood at the front, followed by Song Renjun's generals and Song Gong, and the remaining thousand Song Renjun soldiers all formed a neat line with extremely serious faces.

"Huan Chang, the unworthy descendant, pay homage to the ancestors!"

Holding the incense in his hand, Huan Chang knelt down to pay respects to Duke Xiang's mausoleum, and then the generals of the Song Ren Army, Duke Song and others also began to worship.

After the worship, Song Gong held the jade seal in both hands, walked forward with a complex expression, and stood between the tombstones of Huan Chang and Xiang Gong.

After reading the succinct abdication documents, Song Gong knelt down on one knee and held the jade seal in front of Huan Chang.

"Your Majesty is the ruler of Xianggong, and he should receive this jade seal!"

Huan Chang took the jade seal with a solemn face, and then sternly shouted: "The king of the Song Dynasty should take the prosperity of the Song Dynasty as his duty!"

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

When everyone saw Huan Chang taking the jade seal, they all felt like they were in a dream, and felt that this abdication was too child's play.

But they still fell to their knees and swore allegiance to the young monarch before them.

Just because Huan Chang is a descendant of Song Xianggong's direct line, and he is also a descendant of Shujian Pavilion!
Looking at the people kneeling neatly on the ground, Huan Chang took a deep breath, held the jade seal in his right hand, opened his arms and said, "Everyone, please stand up!"

The northwest wind howled, the clothes on Huan Chang's body fluttered, and the vegetation in the mountains swayed, as if celebrating Huan Chang's becoming the new king of the Song Dynasty.

"Ancestor, your last wish has finally been fulfilled. Song Renjun's 300-year vow has finally been fulfilled today."

"You are a respectable monarch, and the soldiers of Song Renjun are also indomitable men!"

Huan Chang looked at the words on the tombstone, his eyes were full of complex expressions, and his eye sockets were also a little moist.

The person buried in this tomb is Huan Chang's ancestor.

For Huan Chang, who was an orphan since he was a child, the excitement of being able to find his ancestors is hard for others to understand.

But very soon, Huan Chang pumped up his true energy and evaporated the tears from his eyes.

"General, your oath has been fulfilled!"

Huan Chang walked up to the commander in white, pulled the man's right hand and said softly, with some melancholy in his tone, but also a little relieved.

"Finally waiting for the lord!"

Even though the commander-in-chief in white is highly skilled in martial arts and his temperament is far beyond ordinary people, he is a little excited at this time.

"The fifth generation commander of Song Renjun, swear allegiance to the emperor!"

The commander in white fell to his knees again, but his title had changed.

　Let me tell you, Huan Chang is not the baby from 300 years ago, and it is not written like that in the book, so please don’t get me wrong.
