Chapter 74
In the palace of King Yufu, [-] miles south of Guimen County, a court meeting initiated by the leaders and princes of twelve tribes and attended by dozens of officials is being held.

Sitting in front of the throne, the high priest on the red wall, with a gloomy face, quietly watched the noisy scene in the court hall.

Great Elder Jin Yin from the Hu Department suddenly shouted loudly when he saw the crowd making a scene.

"Shut up for me!"

The roar of dragons and tigers immediately shook the originally dark hall into silence.Everyone looked sideways at Jin Yin.

"Noisy, what's the use!"

Immediately, he walked to Danbi and stared at the high priest.

"High Priest, it has been more than half a year since the king passed away. Now the throne is vacant, and the whereabouts of the son are unknown. It is better to elect a new king earlier!"

The elder Heiwen of the Leopard Department also stepped forward to question.

"High Priest, you don't have to hide it from us, what's the point of saying that the son is going to retreat in the ancestral land!
I and others have heard that the son's soul was taken away by ghosts and gods, and he is no longer suitable to be our new king. I think changing Li Shanyang as the new king is the best choice. "

Another minister stepped forward to agree.

"This Lord Shanyang is the younger brother of the previous king! He is the best candidate for the new king. I hope the high priest will make plans early."

Under the leadership of Elder Jin Yin and Elder Hei Wen, the leaders of various ministries expressed their opinions one after another, and they all agreed to select Lord Sanyang to inherit the throne. Some ministers also suggested that if His Royal Highness is really okay, please come out and meet everyone.

As for the few princes, they dare not express their views. After all, this matter is too sensitive. Whether it is the succession of the eldest son or the Duke of Shanyang, it will not affect him in the future, but it will be dangerous to make a wrong statement.

The high priest looked at the people in front of him. There were twelve tribal leaders, all of whom were prostitutes, who could participate in the abolition of the king.Only the Sparrow, Snake, Lion Camel, and White Elephant tribes are in favor of waiting for the heir to return to the throne; the Ministry of Mountains and Forestry, the Ministry of Wind Dispelling, and the Ministry of Controlling Insects are neutral; Department, Rhinoceros Department, Spirit Beast Department and Phoenix Department.

Among the six princes, Sanyang Gong seemed to be panicked and hid behind, but in fact he was scrambling behind the scenes to stir up the situation. This time it was probably due to his handwriting. Attention should be paid to one-third of the imperial guard's military power; as for the other four, their attitudes are unknown.

Among the courtiers, although they do not have the right to decide on the selection of a new king, they have a strong influence among the people, and most of them remain silent. Only a few people from the tiger, leopard, and lion camel tribes are more active in supporting Sanyang Duke .

The high priest analyzed the situation with a heavy face, but said nothing.

Seeing that the high priest didn't answer, Jin Yin was so angry that he even asked sharply:
"High priest, before the death of the king, you kept the funeral in secret for more than three months, and now you don't let His Royal Highness come out to meet everyone, and you don't know who the new king is. Could it be that you want to continue to control the government and steal the throne?"

As soon as Jin Yin asked this question, the entire court was stunned. Although everyone had such doubts, the high priest was the master of the king and the No. 1 person who communicated with the ancestors, so no one dared to speak.He thought to himself, this Jin Yin has taken the courage to say such outrageous words.

Sure enough, the high priest, who had been silent just now, immediately got up when he heard Jin Yin's words, and stared straight at Jin Yin.

Immediately after the scepter was swung, a burst of huge energy rushed towards him, and the closest Elder Jin Yin, even though he was an eighth-rank martial artist and blessed with secret techniques, was still thrown away by three feet.

The power of this pestle is so terrifying.Everyone remembered that this high priest was the strongest expert in the Yufu Kingdom other than the sleeping ancestor in his ancestral land.They didn't dare to speak.

"Presumptuous! Jin Yin, as the chief elder of the twelve tribes, you dare to slander the high priest, what crime should you deserve!"

Jin Yin thought to himself, now that the words have been made clear, if he shrinks back at this moment, he may fail, and he will have to make up for the crime.So he stood up with difficulty, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked to the front.

"High Priest, even if your witch power is strong, how can you stop Youyou's mouth! The twelve tribes like us are also the remnants of our ancestors. To rectify the king's way and establish the foundation of the country is to follow the ancestral system. Now, you have controlled the government for half a year. , and didn’t welcome back the son, and didn’t choose a new king, and didn’t want to establish himself as king, what is that!”

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, the high priest knew that it would be difficult to convince the crowd if he blindly suppressed it with force. Now that the country is in decline, if there is another dispute and civil strife, it will be dangerous.

"It has been more than [-] years since Yufu founded the country, and the ancestors started businesses for thousands of years. Now that the king has died and the country is in crisis, you don't want to guard the four directions and stabilize the people, but stir up disputes and talk about the country. ! Do you want to ruin the only remaining inheritance of this ancestor?"

The Great Elder Hei Wen saw that Jin Yin had made it clear, and knew that it was time to play by himself, otherwise the great matter would be settled by force by the High Priest, so he stepped forward with his chest out.

"High Priest, we, the twelve tribes and all the princes and officials, are all loyal to our ancestors, but what Elder Jin Yin said is what we are worried about. We naturally believe that you have no desire for power, but the throne is vacant, and the country It is also a fact that there is no master. It is better to support Duke Shanyang as soon as possible!"

The high priest glared at the elder Heiwen and said:

"The throne of Yufu has long been determined, and it is the son of heaven, Lord Tianmu. Now that the son has been found, he must succeed him. You have heard some slander somewhere, and you dare to force the palace! Aren't you afraid of being blamed by your ancestors?"

The Great Elder Heiwen stepped forward and asked:
"The high priest keeps saying that the son is fine, why not let the son show up? Meet us? If it is as the high priest said, we will support the son to succeed us, there is no other words!"

Before the words fell, a loud voice sounded from the door behind him: The prince is here!
The high priest's face was ashen, but when he saw Heihu and Shizi at the entrance of the main hall, a huge stone fell from his heart, and he turned to WeChat.I thought, you are finally here!
Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw that the prince was full of energy, with a calm temperament and a smile on his face. Surrounded by the black tiger and other guards, he entered the hall.

Heihu led the imperial guards to push aside the crowd and let out the middle jade steps.The prince strolled up to the throne, turned around and stood, looking at the shocked, puzzled and smiling crowd below.

Heihu has achieved great internal strength and shouted: Your son is here, why don't you hurry up and salute?
The voice was loud and thick, like the sound of a dragon and a tiger, directly hitting everyone's body and mind.

A group of tribal leaders, princes and courtiers just reacted and bowed their heads to pay homage.

"Blessed by the ancestors, the king will last forever!"

After the mountain call, the son said slowly:

"Don't kneel! Get up!"

After everyone got up, those elders and officials who wanted to support Sanyang Gong bowed their heads one after another and dared not speak; while those who opposed were all arrogant and staring at each other; those who remained neutral shouted in their hearts, it’s okay !fine!
The prince didn't talk much, but said plainly:
"Elders, princes, and ministers of the tribes, the former king dragon controlled the guests, and the country is difficult. You should not be suspicious, and the state affairs should be the most important thing!"

Everyone in the ranks, seeing that although the son's words are kind, it seems to reveal an irresistible force, and he does not pursue the crimes of the person who just supported Sanyang Duke, they all shouted:

"The minister waits for ten thousand deaths, and never dares to have another heart!"

"So, that's great! I'm a little young, and I was framed by traitors before, so when I returned to the country, I went to the ancestral land to recuperate. Although I am in good health now, I still need to feel the inheritance of my ancestors. Therefore, the decree:

The High Priest, the Great Elder Jinyin, the Great Elder Heiwen, the Great Elder Kuangshi, the Great Elder Lingsi, the Duke of Zhen Guo, and Wenshuihou preside over the state affairs, headed by the High Priest.When I leave the customs from the ancestral land, I will be crowned again. "

"The ministers will devote themselves to state affairs and live up to the king!"

"The ministers take orders, and they will definitely abide by their duties and wait for the king!"

After saying that, he turned and left the hall under the guard of the black tiger.
