Chapter 576 Opposition and Contest

Regarding Chu Zhongtian's recommendation of Chu Zhongba as the first ruler of the Chu Kingdom and the third elder who was in charge of punishment, after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had to stand up and oppose it.

Because in his own opinion, the reason why he opposed Chu Zhongba as the head of the country was for the future of the family.

"Young patriarch, Zhongba is a child I grew up with, and I know he is a good boy with outstanding aptitude and a simple mind, but the Ninth Five-Year Supreme needs an experienced person who is good at handling government affairs, so I I do not approve of Chu Zhongba becoming the new ruler of Chu."

From Chu Tianyun's point of view, with Chu Zhongtian's current prestige and influence, as long as it was his decision, no matter whether it was right or wrong, no one would dare to question him face to face except the Great Elder.

However, what he never expected was that the first person to stand up to oppose was the third elder whom he had always valued very much. This made him look into the eyes of the third elder without hiding his anger at all.

Facing Chu Tianyun's angry gaze, the third elder didn't seem to notice it at all, and nodded to Chu Tianyun with a gentle smile on his face.

"Xiaotian, whether you recommend Zhongba as the new head of the country, or let Yuping take over the position of patriarch, it shows that you have been cultivating the children of the younger generation, but you also need to specially train the children of the younger generation."

"Because in terms of strength, knowledge, experience, and the value cultivated in the past, the younger generation is far stronger than the younger generation." Seeing the third elder stand up and oppose, the second elder, who seemed to have gained inexplicable courage, stood up immediately after , Not only bluntly opposed Chu Zhongba is not suitable to be the new head of Chu State.

At the same time, he also began to recommend the ideal candidate in his own mind.

Clasping fists with both hands, he gestured to all the elders present, and the second elder said with a smile on his face: "As the saying goes, you don't avoid relatives when you raise a virtuous person, and you don't avoid suspicion when you raise a relative!"

"My son, Chu Hongwei, is very suitable to be the new lord of the Chu Kingdom, regardless of his talent in cultivation, martial arts qualifications, and rich knowledge. Therefore, I implore the young patriarch, third uncle, great elder, and colleagues to carefully consider my request. Opinion!"

Seeing that the Second Elder not only objected to his son being the head of the country, but even directly recommended his own son, Chu Tianyun was furious and filled with endless remorse.

If I had known that the Second Elder was such a person who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and would desperately fight for the benefits he saw, why would he risk offending Chu Zhongtian and release his son privately.So much so that I had to swallow the consequences of my own creation.

The second elder had the courage to recommend his son. Not only did Chu Zhongtian not directly refuse, but he didn't seem to be very angry. This made the elders of the inner clan at the scene seem to have seen some kind of signal, and stood up to oppose Chu Zhongba's decision to be the king. They all strongly recommend their own sons, or the younger and younger generation's children whom they fancy.

Only Chu Fan and the ten elders did not participate in the discussion of the new king.

Chu Fan didn't participate in the discussion because he knew Chu Zhongtian's character too well. Since he bluntly pointed out that Chu Zhongba was the ruler of the country, it must have been carefully considered.

According to his personality, unless the Great Elder speaks out against it.Otherwise, no one at the scene could make him change his mind.

Since he couldn't win any benefits and couldn't change Chu Zhongtian's decision, why would he take the risk to provoke Chu Zhongtian's displeasure!
The fact that the ten elders didn't participate in the discussion didn't mean that he didn't want to participate.Because although his son Chu Zhenpeng is not as good as Chu Zhongba and Chu Yuping, he is also a man of the younger generation of the Chu family.

Chu Zhongtian was able to recommend Chu Zhongba as the high-ranking Ninth Five-Year Supreme, so with his support for him from the beginning, why didn't his son have this opportunity!
Fortunately, Chu Zhenpeng, who knows his father better than his son, immediately stopped him with his eyes when he found out that his father had this idea, making him helplessly give up the idea of ​​fighting for it.

He saw that those who opposed his son's appointment as the king were the second elder, third elder, fourth elder, sixth elder, eleventh elder, twelfth elder, and thirteenth elder who he regarded as his own and could accompany him in fighting for power and profit.

However, the eighth and tenth elders who had always opposed him silently supported Chu Zhongba as the king. At this time, Chu Tianyun didn't have a trace of anger in his heart, but only remorse for his own behavior and his short-sightedness.

Just now, the performance of the ten elders of the inner clan desperately fighting for the position of the king, Chu Tianyun finally understood what Chu Zhongtian said, he was not old in age, but in his mentality. There are also fatal mistakes in the use of people.

At this moment, he has given up on the idea of ​​making the fourth request with Chu Zhongtian. He just hopes that Chu Zhongtian can stick to his decision, so that Chu Zhongba can smoothly become the country's leader, and then he will discuss the matter with Leaving Like the eight elders in the hall, they no longer intervene in any government affairs of the family.

"Third Grandfather, apart from the fact that the old patriarch, eighth uncle, and tenth uncle did not object to my proposal just now, I don't know what your opinion is!" Seeing Chu Zhengxuan who had not expressed any opinions, Chu Zhongtian asked directly by name.

The head of a clan, compared with the head of a country, which position is more important, a discerning person can tell at a glance, so Chu Zhongtian knew that some people would object to Chu Zhongba being the first head of the Chu state, but let What he didn't expect was that there were so many people who opposed it, and the sentiment of opposition was so intense.

I underestimated the ambitions of the elders who held real power in the clan. I was able to force Chu Yuping to be appointed as the patriarch just now. The reason why these elders did not object was that my strength and deterrence only accounted for part of the reason. The reason for giving up their opposition is that they set their sights on the position of the more powerful and higher-ranking sovereign.

It seems that in order to forcibly push Chu Zhongba to the position of the king, he still needs to win over Chu Zhengxuan, who is the strongest in the family, and the elder with the most prestige and popularity.Only with the consent and support of these two people can he successfully send Chu Zhongba to the position of the king.

Otherwise, even if Chu Zhongba is forcibly pushed to that position by using his formidable strength and bloody suppression, it will definitely cause everyone to be dissatisfied.

After he left the family, those elders who were unwilling to do so would definitely unite and directly launch a coup d'état while he was away.

Facing the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, bloody conflicts will inevitably occur in the family, and there may even be the danger of extermination.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian must ensure that after he leaves the Chu family, Chu Zhongba can control the scene.
