Title VII, Chapter 41, Succession
Qin Yun walked to the body of Mr. Zhou. His eyes were full of shock until his death. Obviously, he couldn't believe that his strength, which was enough to rank in the top five of the Tianlist, could not even be able to move in the hands of "Meng Yiqiu"!
"Taishuchen, such a great master of the Heavenly List, changed his name and became the master of the Eighth Prince. It seems that Wei State is indeed ambitious, and that's right. After all, the number one in the God List is in Wei State, and it is also the best in this world. How can we not be ambitious?" Qin Yun looked at the corpse in front of him. In the realm of Tao, all the precious treasures on Taishuchen were naturally clearly sensed.
Then, the thought moved.
"call."
Tai Shuchen's corpse turned into powder and floated back to the world. There were only a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings and other weapons, and some purse hidden in silver notes and other items left behind. For Qin Yun, once the fifty years expired, he could not take any treasures away, but he had to consider the Zhoushan Sword Sect for his younger sister Meng Yuxiang, Meng Huan, who is only one year old now, and for the Zhoushan Sword Sect.
"Let's go." With the spoils, Qin Yun swept across the sky, flashed in the night sky, and returned to his residence.
There were only a little blood left on the originally lonely street.
The battle was silent, and no outsiders knew that Mr. Zhou (Taishuchen) had died!
...
That night, the Imperial Capital was destined to be sleepless.
Candlelight lit.
Qin Yun was studying leisurely in his study, and the Dao area covered twenty miles away, and it also enveloped the Duan family.
"Although I'm too lazy to pay attention to the prince, but killing Tai Shuchen will be considered a big help to the prince." Qin Yun smiled and was too lazy to think too much, reading a book. For him, no matter who inherited the throne, it would be no difference.
*******
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was dawn.
Anguo Duke’s Mansion, in a living room.
Duan Qiyu sat there, feeling anxious, and the old lady beside her was also a little uneasy because the many information that had been sent before was very unfavorable.
"Swoosh."
The hall door was always open, and a figure flew in from outside, saluting respectfully as soon as it came in.
"How is it?" Duan Qiyulian stood up and asked anxiously.
The man in gray robe said respectfully: "Report to the old lady, I just got the news from the palace that the king left a will before his death, and the eighth prince Li Cheng succeeded to the throne."
Duan Qiyu's face was gone without any blood. She sat down directly, sitting down in a bare state, with her eyes dull and desperate.
"It's over, it's over." Duan Qiyu's body trembled slightly.
"Eight Prince?" The old lady looked ugly, but she still waved her hand, and the man in the gray robe saluted respectfully and left.
"Li Cheng made enemies with me back then." Duan Qiyu's voice trembled, "I was young and energetic back then, and I didn't look down on a prince who had no hope of inheriting the throne. Who would have thought that he would become more and more powerful and support him more and more. Of course, I have to stand on the side of the prince. The prince is the crown prince and has a great advantage. He will have a great grasp of inheriting the throne in the future. Who would think, who would think..."
"Don't panic." The old lady frowned and shouted.
"Grandma." Duan Qiyu looked at the old lady beside him and knelt down directly, "It's me, it's all my fault. Let the family fall into such a field. This time I will do anything to help the crown prince, and then Li Cheng will definitely hold a grudge against me even more. Now that he inherits the throne... he will definitely not spare my Duan family."
The old lady also understood that the Duan family was indeed in a big crisis.
Since ancient times, the dispute over the throne has been the most ruthless!
Even if there is no earlier hatred, the Duan family will fully support His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Eighth Prince "Li Cheng" will not spare the Duan family if they inherit the throne!
"I'm going to see Meng Yiqiu now." The old lady stood up.
"Meng Yiqiu."
Duan Qiyu looked pale and nodded, "Now only Meng Yiqiu can save my Duan family, but Li Cheng and I have too much hatred. The King of Chu really wants to deal with my Duan family. For Meng Yiqiu's sake, I am afraid that my Duan family will be cut off. I am afraid that my first culprit will not escape death."
"Don't panic, I'll go see Meng Yiqiu first." said the old lady.
...
Qin Yun was having breakfast, and Gong Yan'er also carried the child to feed the child rice porridge.
"Master, the old lady of the Duan family is asking for a meeting." Liu Qingsha said respectfully.
"Please come in." Qin Yun nodded and said, and then couldn't help but sigh, "That prince is really useless. I helped this, but I lost in the end."
The State of Chu decided to throne, but the crown prince did not necessarily inherit it.
The prince has many advantages.
But who in the end inherits the throne was decided by the will of the previous king! This so-called "sacred will" was naturally written by the victors.
This gave other princes a chance, so almost every generation of "kings" were decided after going through cruel battles, which also made every king of Chu very powerful. The god of war "Li Ruji" was in charge of the imperial capital. Seeing generations of princes in the imperial capital, he would be in chaos when he was there.
Li Ruji was very satisfied with the final decision of the king of this cruel battle.
"Old lady." Qin Yun saw the old lady of the Duan family coming, and followed Meng Yuxiang next to him, and immediately smiled, "Old lady, please sit down."
The old lady sat down with a smile.
Meng Yuxiang went beside Gong Yan'er.
"Little sister, Yan'er, you guys go out first." Qin Yun ordered.
"Okay." Meng Yuxiang and Gong Yan'er nodded.
Soon only Qin Yun and the old lady were left in the hall, while Liu Qingsha was guarding the door.
"I guess Mr. Meng already knows that my new king of Chu is the previous eighth prince." The old lady said, "When I ascend the throne today, I will announce it to the world."
A country cannot be without a king for a day.
If the old king returns to heaven, the new king will succeed to the throne the next day, and will also cause a funeral for the old king and announce it to the world.
"I heard it." Qin Yun nodded.
"Now, this king Li Cheng has an old grudge with my Duan family. This time, my Duan family has devoted their efforts to help the former crown prince, and Li Cheng must be resentful to my Duan family." The old lady said worriedly, "I can only come to ask Mr. Meng! Please also ask Mr. Meng to remember the friendship between me and you in my Duan family, and the promises I had before, so that I can protect my Duan family."
"I read the classics of your Duan family's Baiyulou, and promised to protect your Duan family." Qin Yun smiled, "Don't worry, old lady."
The old lady nodded: "Mr. Meng, if the King of Chu is determined to deal with my Duan family, Mr. Meng will be difficult to stop him. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to cut off my Duan family's title! If the title is not enough, it's not enough. I will accept Qi Yu's life."
Although the high-ranking people on the Tianlist are at a very high level, the King of Chu must win over.
But King Chu is the king of a country after all, and behind him is the god of war "Li Ruji". If he really wants to destroy any family... the master of the Tianlisten cannot completely stop him. At most, he will just be lighter because of the face of the master of the Tianlistenen.
"Old lady just worry about going back with peace of mind." Qin Yun said, "I will do my best to protect your Duan family from the king."
"I thank Mr. Meng." The old lady immediately bowed to give a big gift, and Qin Yun immediately stood up to stop him: "Old lady, there is no need to do this."
"Please trouble Mr. Meng."
The old lady left now.
But when she left, she was still uneasy: "Meng Yiqiu will do her best to help my Duan family, but the new king succeeded to the throne is the most energetic time. Can he keep it? I hope to give up my title and lose Qiyu's life, so that my Duan family can escape this disaster."
After all, the Duan family is a big family. The old lady has to consider the lives of thousands of people in the entire family, so she would rather make some sacrifices for this.
...
In the imperial capital, three men gathered here in the first pavilion of the brothel "Wanhualou".
"This time Mr. Zhou has made the Eight Prince hard, almost the Eight Prince is over."
"I really didn't expect that the Eighth Prince could turn the tables in desperate situation!"
"The Eight Prince is really amazing."
All three of them were full of joy.
"By the way, Black Hawk, is Mr. Zhou in East Lake outside the city?"
"Not here! I just sent someone to look for it."
"It's not in Donghu either? I'm in trouble now. Last night I sent someone to find Mr. Zhou, but I couldn't find it in the imperial capital. Now he's not here in Donghu outside the city. Where has he been?"
"Old Zhou often elusively disappears in seclusion, but usually he will have verbal messages. And last night was so important, so Mr. Zhou shouldn't have disappeared quietly."
All three of them were a little panicked.
Mr. Zhou is the highest leader of Wei in this imperial capital! Mr. Zhou’s identity is secret, and even the three of them do not know. Mr. Zhou’s real name is ‘Taishuchen’.
"Old Zhou's true strength is rumored to be in the top five of the Heavenly List. When he met the Chu War God Li Ruji, he had hope of escaping, so he shouldn't have disappeared just like that."
"Look for it again. If you can't find Mr. Zhou during the day today, you have to report the news to Wei Du immediately."
All three of them made a decision.
The people of Wei State were also secretly looking for Mr. Zhou crazy today.
The imperial capital, or even outside the imperial capital, are searching everywhere.
It's destined...
They will never find that Mr. Zhou!
...
On that day, on the 27th day of the 12th lunar month of the 36th year of Chu Baohong, the new king of Chu State, "Li Cheng", inherited the throne, became the seventh generation king of Chu State, and mourned the old king.
The entire imperial capital city, white silks are flying everywhere, brothels and restaurants are closed, and weddings and entertainment are prohibited during the national mourning period.
