I Persuade People With Reason - Chapter 135

Although Yuan didn’t think he had a good idea, but inside Daxia, from the royal family to the civil and military officials, obviously they didn’t come to Yuan to learn the scriptures, and let him, an outsider, decide. The idea of ​​​​attribution to the throne.

They are all dubious about what the mad Taoist said.

After all, this man was secretly imprisoned by the late emperor for many years, and he had a deep hatred in his heart, and he had absolutely no goodwill towards the Daxia royal family. Who knows what he said? Is it true or false? The Great Xia established the country? Two hundred years ago, the alternation of the old and the new is a common occurrence. I have never heard of the danger of inheriting the throne.

With this kind of thought in mind, the prince princess and the ministers who were present did not reveal it, but politely sent a group of monks and demons out of the palace.

The irrelevant foreigners left, and they sat down to discuss what to do next. The mourning for the late emperor only needs to be done according to a fixed procedure. The most important thing is to let the new emperor succeed the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the dynasty.

It’s not because I don’t have a mind of meddling.

Although he left the palace first, Yuan Qi, the little squirrel, stayed inside. This God of Retribution passed the straw squirrel that he didn’t want to leave behind to transmit sound from the palace, and told almost everything that happened later. took him. It was also because Yuan Qi asked out of curiosity that he didn’t want to mention his idea casually.

He didn’t bother to say if others didn’t come to ask.

When the news of the death of the previous emperor and the succession of the new emperor came out in the court, Li Sanyuan, or the three Yuan brothers, and the monks and demon clan who had been released from prison by Yuanwei before. , has long been gathered in the Taoist view that has been cleaned up – since Li Mo’s soul has been scattered, this Taoist view has been reluctantly accepted.

That day, I didn’t want them to come to me to repay their kindness afterwards, but they all fulfilled their promises.

It’s not like all these people are so grateful, there isn’t even a single one who runs away quietly, but they just don’t dare to run away. After all, the strength that the Imperial Palace Central Plains did not show that day was unfathomable. To owe such a mysterious existence? Kindness, and dare to run away, it is simply not wanting to live!

What’s more, they are not stupid, such? Thick thighs are in front of me? If you hug them, you will have an extra backer. Some little demons have not had such a chance in the past.

I didn’t think I could see through their thoughts, and I didn’t mind. The tool person/demon who is delivered to the door will not be accepted for nothing. Anyway, he has always been the only one who squeezed the tool people. How could anyone take advantage of him in vain?

Before he could start to squeeze, Xiao Yuan came to the door.

He brought the news of the new king’s succession, as well as an imperial decree that was not originally intended to be a national teacher.

– This is also a kind of comfort. After all, you all know that before? “Xie Yuan” was thrown into the heavenly prison by the late emperor for “cultivating the Dao wholeheartedly and refusing to marry the princess”, but now that he knows his strength, and has rescued the princes and princesses? Kindness, how can they dare to offend them? This big guy?

Even when Xiao Yuan was chosen to read the imperial edict, he saw that he and “Xie Yuan” were old acquaintances and could act as a lobbyist.

“…No hurry.” I didn’t think I was in a hurry to receive the imperial decree, “It’s not too late to wait for the next emperor to take the throne.”

Xiao Yuan was at a loss, looking at Xiang Yuan who was not doing it, his eyes were a little strange. It’s only been about half a month, and the front foot is still in the prison to give this friend a beheaded meal, and the back foot has come out in a good light, and he has also become a national teacher.

Because of his grandfather’s high official position, Xiao Yuanyuan had a relationship with Yuan Buwei. Before, he faintly heard his grandfather reveal some things, and the whole person was confused.

…I thought you were forced to sell yourself, swear to death, weak and helpless? Poor little, at most, you are a bit of a scumbag for taking the magic medicine of the princess but not marrying the princess; in the end, you are hiding in the crowd? , turned over the princess and the emperor in one fell swoop, and will soon be appointed as the national teacher? ? ?

…And this is not the point, the point is, listen to your tone, the emperor is not satisfied, and you want to do another one, and then change the emperor to be satisfied?

He was silent for a while, but he couldn’t help clearing his throat, leaned over to Yuan Buwei and whispered: “Cough, this?…Although the new emperor is a bit domineering and arbitrary, this time I asked you to be the master of the country because of this. All the officials asked for the seal unanimously, so he had to do it, but he didn’t deserve to die?”

When the two of them spoke, they were in the main hall of the Taoist Temple, and there were many cultivators and demons watching on both sides. Although Xiao Yuan deliberately got close to Yuan Buwei and lowered his voice, they could still hear clearly. Chu.

Originally, they didn’t take Xiao Yuan, an ordinary person, in their eyes, but now, they can’t help but sit up straight, look cautious, and show confused eyes: “???”

…what the hell? Isn’t it all? Saying that the emperor of the mortal dynasty is supreme? Why is it just one? Small officials open their mouths and shut their mouths, that means the emperor’s sins will not kill him? Could it be… this is the big guy’s style? Sure enough, the boss’s friend is also the boss, what are the weak and helpless? Ordinary people, just deceive the world? It’s just an illusion? So insidious.

When Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he noticed that the guys around him who were not easy to mess with were all casting awe-inspiring glances at him, and their expressions were even more fascinated and strange, as if they had insight into his own astonishing size. Like a secret?

Xiao Yuan was more confused than them: “???”

…it always feels like these people have misunderstood something.

But Yuan Yuan, who was sitting at the head, saw the changes in expressions of the two parties with his own eyes. He could vaguely guess what they were thinking, and answered Xiao Yuan’s words, “You think too much.”

“…It’s not that he deserves death for his sins, it’s just that his virtue doesn’t match his position. In this position of the Son of Heaven, his fate cannot be suppressed.”

Xiao Yuan suddenly remembered the words of the mad Taoist that his grandfather recited, and subconsciously glanced at the mad Taoist who was here, and said in surprise, “What he said is true?”

Yuan Buwei affirmed: “It’s not false at all.”

A madman never speaks the truth out of kindness. His original intention was to fear that the world would not be chaotic. He wanted to see that the princes were worried and panicked because of this, and they were in chaos, so that the precious throne of the late emperor became a garbage that no one wanted to want. This may also be a way to relieve his hatred. ?practice.

It’s a pity that what he said went against the common sense of everyone, and his position made it hard to believe what he said. And the temptation of the emperor’s position is too high, enough to make some people willing to take risks, especially the first prince, who was already ranked first among the princes, and now the new emperor.

As the eldest prince, when the previous emperor had neither a direct son nor a crown prince, he considered himself to be the best choice for the new prince. How could he hand over the throne just because of a madman?

“…So, his death is not far away.”

In the end, Yuan did not make such an assertion.

After he said this, it was fulfilled in less than a day.

That night, the newly appointed emperor, perhaps because he was too excited to inherit the throne, secretly played with his favorite concubine in the Jinming Pond before his filial piety expired, and unfortunately drowned. It has only been three days since he succeeded to the throne, and even because of filial piety, the real enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, so it is not considered a real emperor.

Before the old emperor was buried, another emperor died, and the way of death was still the same. Funny, the other princes were all terrified, and suddenly remembered what the madman said, and immediately avoided the throne of the emperor.

Soon, the princes “had an accident?” one by one.

Either he accidentally broke his leg, or he suddenly had a cold, and a prince exposed himself to be short, and even told the secret that he could not have children, so that many people looked at the pair of children under his knees. I always feel that this guy has grass growing on his hair…

Probably because they found that one of the brothers was more ruthless than the other, and they were ruthless in self-harm, and they couldn’t completely shake the blame in this way; soon they changed their direction, not only frantically belittling themselves, but also began to frantically praise others.

For example, the elder brother is tolerant and generous, and the corporal is polite and virtuous, and the younger brother is talented and intelligent, and has a good plan…

For a time, the princes who used to fight openly and secretly suddenly became humble and polite one by one, and the brothers and sisters respected each other.

All in all, it’s #I’m bad, I’m bad, I can’t, brothers, all of them? Are stronger than me? Can be the emperor#. In short, there are four words #I don’t want to die#.

After such an operation, everyone understands their thoughts, even civil and military officials have no clue. Even the ministers who supported the princes in the past have become dumbfounded. After all, who supports them now? In their opinion, they want to harm them and kill them? Dog thieves!

Once they are identified as thieves who want to kill him, these princes who have committed severe persecution delusions will not be polite. The dog thief is killing me? Kill the dog thief first!

As a result, a strange scene appeared in the courtroom.

The throne of the emperor hangs in the air, the princes, brothers, friends and brothers respect you and me, and the ministers are speechless. If someone who doesn’t understand the situation clearly opens his mouth to support a certain prince, the princes immediately turn their faces and “wield a knife” to cut down the former party members.

The Great Xia Empire? For hundreds of years, has there ever been such a spectacle where brothers are united, and they don’t even engage in party disputes and cut their arms by themselves?

Helpless? Baiguan almost sighed.

But the throne of the emperor cannot be vacant, there is really no way?

So, Xiao Yuan came to the Taoist Temple again.

“Let me come up with an idea?” After listening to what he conveyed, he didn’t hold his chin and was eager to try, “I really have a good idea, simple and direct.”

Xiao Yuan asked curiously, “Why is it so miraculous?”

I didn’t want to, but I simply didn’t sell it anymore: “Draw the lot. Write all the bottle caps, ahem, the names of all the princes on the note? Let me draw the lot.”

It’s like taking out the death list, it sounds unreliable? It looks like… Xiao Yuan was silent for ten breaths, and said with a smile: “This is fair. I think the princes shouldn’t have any more opinions. “

“Do you think this is a random choice? Today’s position of the emperor doesn’t have to consider one’s background, talent, or temperament. The only thing to consider is luck.” Wei Wei didn’t see his thoughts at a glance. Shaking his head, “Catch the lot sounds casual, like a game, but the person who can be selected from among the princes must be the one with the most luck, isn’t he the best candidate for the emperor?”

“So that’s it?!” Xiao Yuan’s eyes lit up at first, and after thinking about it he couldn’t help but complain, “But it’s not necessarily. Who knows whether the person who can be selected to be the emperor has the most luck or the worst luck. what?”

It was not: “…”

It makes sense, he was a little speechless.

However, he quickly reacted: “So? It’s me who chooses, not you.”

He used to create a humane dynasty with his own hands, and in this world, he was the only one who was favored by humanistic luck. He could be called the spokesperson of humanistic luck. If he was randomly selected by lot, it would at least represent the prince who was most favored by humanistic luck.

Xiao Yuan only thought that he was not an extraordinary person, and the chosen one must be the one with great luck, so he responded diligently, and turned his head to act as a microphone to transmit the matter back to the court.

At this time, the princes and the civil and military officials were at a stalemate. Since they had come up with an idea for this suspected high-cultivation figure, they agreed.

After a few days, Yuan Buwei stood on the familiar Golden Palace again. But now, he is standing on the highest white jade step, looking down at the people below.

In front of him is a wooden box with the names of the princes.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on him, the ministers were still relaxed, but the princes were nervous.

Don’t look at it? It’s not meant to be said. It sounds good, and the one who can be selected by him must be a person of great luck, but the first prince’s sudden death is there. Can hold it. Who knows if the atmospheric luck is enough, what if one comes?

With such thoughts in mind, they looked at the young man nervously and reached out their hands calmly.

He was really calm, only slightly curious.

Let me see? Look? Who is this? Lucky? Cap?
