(Thank you for the reward of 50,000 coins from the leader.)
A part of the electromagnetic energy emitted by the field source leaves the field source and travels far away, and then never returns to the field source. This phenomenon is called radiation.
It mainly spreads out in the form of electromagnetic waves and particles.
As long as it is not absolute zero, everything has radiation, including cell phone signals, microwave ovens, etc., the only difference is the amount of radiation.
Therefore, when you see radiation, you don't necessarily think of nuclear bombs.
When Shen Lang was about to open the gem, he immediately sensed a strong radiation force.
He immediately stopped this action.
Then he checked the wound on Ning Yuanxian's chest again. If he guessed correctly, it should be this gem button that gave Ning Yuanxian a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Currently, Ning Yuanxian was like a vegetable, but his condition was even worse. The breathing and heartbeat of a vegetable were still normal, and he even had conditioned reflexes. He even yawned and subconsciously chewed. But Ning Yuanxian was really motionless, as if he was really dead.
Obviously, this gem caused great damage to Ning Yuanxian's brain and nerves in a short period of time, so he almost didn't even have a conditioned reflex.
Next, Shen Lang tried to check the nerve reflex arc of Ning Yuanxian's body.
There was still no reaction.
This thing was definitely not a product of this world. It definitely came from the ancient ruins.
From this, it could be seen how many things these transcendent forces had excavated in the ancient ruins.
"Where did this button come from?" Shen Lang asked.
Concubine Bian said, "This was originally a token of love between His Majesty and his first wife. It was originally a gem on a hairpin. After the fall of Emperor Jiang Li, His Majesty divorced his first wife. She took away His Majesty's hairpin and passed away soon after. It wasn't until a few years ago that this hairpin reappeared. "
Shen Lang asked, "Who gave it to His Majesty?"
Concubine Bian said, "It was His Highness the Crown Prince. He said he accidentally found it at home."
Shen Lang said, "Concubine Bian, please continue."
Concubine Bian said, "At that time, this hairpin had been covered in dust for a long time, and it was a silver hairpin. After many years, it had turned black and deformed to a certain extent. His Majesty ordered people to make the buttons and sew them on his clothes. "
In this way, it was closer to the position of Ning Yuanxian's heart, which also represented the guilt and longing of Ning Yuanxian's wife.
Shen Lang looked at the gem carefully against the sun. There was really no flaw.
It was amazing.
The methods of these transcendental forces to harm others were completely impossible to guard against.
Hearing this, Shen Lang was almost certain that the gemstone had already been swapped.
The first wife gave Ning Yuanxian an ordinary gemstone as a token of love, but the Crown Prince gave Ning Yuanxian a special gemstone from Sky-sea Pavilion.
The person who handled this matter should be the Zhu Clan.
Amazing, he had been thinking of murdering Monarch Ning Yuanxian since ten years ago.
It wasn't easy for him to endure until now before making a move.
However, it was not the Zhu Clan who decided to do so, but the Sky-sea Pavilion.
Previously, Shenlang had always been curious. Stupa Mountain had Gu worms, but what did the Horizon Sea Pavilion have? Why was it so awesome?
Now he could finally see it.
It was extremely awesome.
This special gemstone allowed Shenlang to see the tip of the iceberg of the Sky-sea Pavilion.
However, Shenlang still didn't believe that this gemstone was made by the Sky-sea Pavilion. Maybe it was directly excavated from the ancient ruins.
"Can it be saved?" Ning Zheng asked.
Shenlang said, "This is the method of the ancient civilization. It is absolutely impossible to be saved by medical means."
"Give me twelve hours, I will do a few experiments," Shenlang continued, "but don't have high hopes. I will only try and make mistakes in these twelve hours."
… …
In the next twelve hours, Shenlang continued to experiment.
He experimented on mice.
He first tried to use violent means to destroy the gemstone, and it would release an attack.
This attack was not electricity, but it was somewhat similar.
In an instant, the mouse directly entered a state of near death.
First, all the nerves in the body were paralyzed, and then the entire brain became silent.
It looked very similar to Ning Yuanxian.
Next, Shenlang tried various treatment methods.
He used various drugs.
All failed!
Even the other two pills he brought out from the ancient ruins were completely ineffective.
Last time, Shenlang helped Stupa Mountain open the entrance to the ancient ruins on Black Rock Island and obtained this ancient drug.
One of them was the Marrow Cleansing Essence, which was used by Mulan. There were still two unknown pills left.
Shenlang had studied them many times, but he still didn't know what they were used for.
Using the silver needles to extract the liquid from the two pills, he tried to save the little white mouse.
It was completely ineffective.
In twelve hours, Shenlang experimented dozens of times.
All failed!
… …
"My experiments have all failed."
"This gemstone came from the ancient ruins and is unknown to me. If I want to save Her Majesty, I must first understand what it is.
"Only the methods of the ancient civilization can save Her Majesty.
"I want to go to the Great Nan Kingdom to see Prince Jin. Give me a month."
Shenlang quickly ordered.
"I'll go with you," Li Qianqiu and Zhong Chuke said at the same time.
"Li Qianqiu can go with me," Shenlang said, "In the next few months, no one will try to assassinate me, and no one will dare to."
This was the second time Shenlang had said such a thing, and everyone was still puzzled.
"One month, give me one month!"
Shenlang didn't linger and quickly left the palace with Li Qianqiu.
They concealed their tracks and left the capital under the cover of the night, entering the Western Heaven Province once more.
… …
They passed through the southern part of the Western Heaven Province and entered the Qiang Kingdom.
From the Qiang Kingdom, they passed through countless forests and entered the capital of the Sand Barbaric Tribe.
Li Qianqiu and Shenlang took less than seven days to cover these thousands of kilometers. At first, Shenlang traveled in a carriage pulled by three horses at an extremely fast speed. After entering the territory of the Sand Barbaric Tribe, Shenlang sat on a rattan chair with Li Qianqiu carrying him.
Even so, he was so tired that he was almost convulsing.
When he appeared in front of Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin once more, the other party was slightly astonished.
"Grandmaster, do you recognize this item?" Shenlang handed over the gemstone in his hand, his heart filled with hope.
Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin examined it carefully a few times before shaking his head. "I don't recognize it."
Damn, this is going to be troublesome.
Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin didn't recognize it either.
Shenlang asked, "Is Prince Jin around?"
When he had left the capital, Ning Zheng had immediately sent an envoy south to the Southern Kingdom to meet with Prince Jin and inform him of the situation.
"His Majesty is not around." Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin said, "He is handling another important matter in the The Southern Kingdom. He is trying to salvage the situation of the State of Yue. However, he has already sent me a letter, asking me to cooperate with you unconditionally. "
Shenlang said, "The King of Yue, Ning Yuanxian, wants to make Ning Zheng the crown prince. The Horizon Sea Pavilion used this item to assassinate the Monarch. It can release a strange attack that completely destroys the King of Yue's brain and nerves. At this moment, the King of Yue is like a dead person. He has no instincts, and his nerves have no conditioned reflexes. "
Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin carefully examined the item again.
However, he still couldn't find any clues.
"Right now, there are only two methods." Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin said, "The first method is to read the ancient records. The second method is to seek help from the transcendent powers. "
The second method was impossible.
The Stupa Mountain wouldn't save Ning Yuanxian, and neither would the White Jade Capital.
There was no snow here, and it wasn't within the White Jade Capital's sphere of influence.
Shenlang asked, "Has Emperor Jiang Li already deciphered most of the ancient records in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave?"
Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin said, "Yes."
Shenlang asked, "Then did he explain anything similar in the contents of his deciphering of the records?"
Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin thought for a while before shaking his head. "No!"
Shenlang asked, "What percentage of the ancient records did Emperor Jiang Li decipher? Among all the records in the ancient ruins. "
"Less than five percent," Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin replied.
Shenlang asked, "Then are the remaining ancient records still there?"
"Yes!" Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin replied.
Shenlang asked, "Inside or outside the ruins?"
Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin was silent for a while before saying, "Outside the ruins. Because the records were easier to take away, Emperor Jiang Li brought them all out. Of course, there are still many important items inside the ruins, because a large portion of the ruins has yet to be explored. "
Shenlang asked, "Can I borrow those ancient records?"
As mentioned before, ancient records were carved into jade using a very special method, and they were layered on top of each other.
A box of ancient records the size of a poker card could contain hundreds of thousands of words and hundreds of pictures.
An ordinary person would need several dozen years to decipher an ancient record.
The six transcendent powers used a thousand years to decipher countless ancient records. This was the source of their power.
Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin said, "Young master Shenlang, how much time do you have?"
Shenlang replied, "Half a month at most to decipher them."
Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin said, "Half a month at most. Even half a volume of ancient records would be difficult to decipher. Ancient records are incomparably precious, but there are many types of them, and they are as vast as the sea. Wanting to find a record of this gem in half a month would be even harder than finding a needle in a haystack. "
That was indeed the case, but Shenlang had X-ray scans and AI.
He didn't need to decipher them, he only needed to scan them continuously. Once he found any relevant information, he would immediately record it down.
"There is one more thing." Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin said, "Only His Majesty knows where these ancient records are. I don't know where they are hidden."
Eh!
This was also normal. These ancient ruins were incomparably precious, and Prince Jin definitely wanted to obtain them himself.
No matter how much he trusted others, there was a limit.
"I can immediately send a letter to His Majesty and have him come over." Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin said, "But the round trip will take at least ten days."
Shenlang's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Ten days? How could he have ten days to waste?
"I will immediately write a letter to His Majesty."
…
Just two hours later.
Not long after Imperial Preceptor Sha Yin's letter was sent, Prince Jin appeared.
Was it really that fast?
"A few days ago, after I met Ning Zheng's envoy, I sent a letter to the Imperial Preceptor while rushing over here myself. I think little brother might need my help, but there are some things that the Imperial Preceptor can't make decisions on his own. "Prince Jin said," What do you need me to do? "
Shenlang: "I need to read a large number of ancient records."
"Very well!" Prince Jin said.
… … …
Two hours later.
Over a thousand ancient records appeared in front of Shenlang.
They were blocks, not volumes.
Each ancient record was like a brick made of jade.
There were layers upon layers of densely packed information inscribed on it.
Prince Jin retreated.
He gave the entire space to Shenlang.
Next, Shenlang entered a reading frenzy.
Using his X-ray eyes, he scanned these ancient records layer by layer. He didn't need to read them, he just directly stored the scanned contents into the AI.
Once a keyword was triggered, the AI would immediately alert Shenlang.
This was a huge amount of work.
There were one thousand and nine hundred ancient books here, and each one had nearly a thousand pages of content.
So in total, there were nearly two million pages.
Even if Shenlang scanned one page per second, it would still take him 555 hours, a total of twenty-three days.
Just a few hours later.
Shenlang felt like his eyes were about to explode and his brain was about to explode.
But he had no choice but to continue.
… … …
While Shenlang was furiously scanning the ancient records, the capital's environment was getting worse by the day.
Inside Tianyue City.
Ning Zheng had more than twenty thousand troops under his control.
Ning Qi had more than ten thousand troops under his control.
Zhong Shi's sixty thousand troops in the northern part of Western Heaven Province still didn't move.
Zhang Zixu's ten thousand troops in the southern part of Western Heaven Province also didn't move.
Zhang Chong had officially taken office as the governor of Northern Heaven Province, taking control of Northern Heaven Province in the shortest time possible.
Bian Xiao's seventy thousand troops were ready to go.
Monarch Ning Yuanxian was still motionless like a dead man.
And just thirteen days after he completely fainted, another piece of bad news came.
The Queen Mother had collapsed.
There shouldn't be any conspiracy. The Queen Mother didn't have much time left.
She was nearly eighty years old. Her health was fine, but ever since Crown Prince Ning Yi was captured, her health had been deteriorating.
Ning Yi was her most beloved grandson. After his accident, the Queen Mother had fainted. When she woke up again, her body was seriously ill. Her mind was getting more and more blurry. She lay on the bed almost all day, with few moments of sobriety.
After the Monarch's accident, Ning Zheng and Li Sun immediately sent people to protect the Queen Mother.
If one day, Ning Zheng wanted to be king, he would need a big shot to confer the title.
If the Monarch couldn't wake up, the Queen Mother would do it.
But now, the Queen Mother had collapsed.
Duke Benefactor Li said that the Queen Mother hadn't been sober before she died. She kept muttering Ah Wu, Ah Yi, and Ah Han.
In other words, the Queen Mother's favorite son wasn't Ning Yuanxian, but Ning Yuanwu.
Her most beloved grandchildren were Ning Yi and Ning Han.
After the Queen Mother collapsed, the situation became even more dangerous.
… …
His subordinates kept persuading Ning Zheng to act quickly.
Now that he had the advantage of military strength, even if he couldn't destroy Ning Qi, he could at least drive them out of the capital and make himself king.
But Ning Zheng still didn't agree.
He knew that if he started a war now, he would become a traitor. The Empire's army would definitely enter the State of Yue.
In fact, the people and even many officials in the capital were on his side.
Murdering a king was too evil.
Even the officials who had supported Ning Qi before would feel fear and disgust.
Ning Qi was too unscrupulous in doing things.
Robbing and killing his own brother was fine, but now he was murdering his own father.
Apart from the hardcore supporters of the Zhu, Zhong, and Xue Clans, most of the officials had fallen silent.
At this time, silence represented resistance.
The capital was now in a state of war.
The curfew continued, but the daytime curfew was loosened.
Apart from grain stores, pharmacies, and other shops that were related to the people's livelihood, all other shops were still closed.
Even the grain stores and pharmacies could only be opened for four hours a day.
In the past, the people in the capital would have been furious.
But now, they quietly endured it.
Ning Yuanxian wasn't a king with a good reputation, but the last Tsar was called Little Father by countless people. Ning Yuanxian's reputation was much better than the last Tsar's.
He was harsh to his officials, but he was nice to the people.
During the war of the South Kingdom, he didn't force the people to do labor, and they were still given food and money.
Now, their King Yue had actually fallen in the royal court.
Of course, neither the Secretariat nor the Privy Council made the news public. They only said that the Monarch was slightly ill.
And there were many private rumors that the Monarch had suffered another stroke. After all, it was normal for him to suffer another stroke.
But no one believed it.
People naturally liked conspiracy theories.
Stroke?
Who would believe it?
Of all times, he had a stroke when he was conferred the title of Crown Prince?
Someone must have murdered His Majesty.
Who murdered him?
Whoever profited was the murderer.
This reminded people of King Chu's murder.
In the hearts of the people, King Chu was murdered by Ning Qi, and they saw him as a hero.
But now, it was King Chu's turn to be murdered.
Then the people of the State of Yue would have a completely different opinion.
Treacherous officials, treacherous officials, treacherous officials.
A person who killed his father didn't deserve to be king.
… …
"In the eyes of countless people, I'm the one who killed the king." Ning Qi mocked himself.
Zhu Hongzhu said, "In the past thousand years of history, there have been kings who killed their kings. As long as they did well enough, they would still be the Eternal King."
Ning Qi sneered. Eternal King? Would the Great Yan Empire give me such a chance?
Of course, there was an example that Zhu Hongzhu mentioned.
Li Shiming had murdered his own brother and imprisoned his father, Li Yuan. Eventually, he became the greatest emperor in history.
Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi was said to have murdered Founding Emperor Zhao Kuangyin. This was the so-called shadow of the axe. But he was also a king with a title.
But most kings who killed their brothers and fathers didn't have a good ending.
Ning Qi said, "If I told the people that everything I did was for the State of Yue, would anyone believe me?"
Zhu Hongzhu said, "This old subject believes."
But the two looked at each other and read the sarcasm in each other's hearts.
It was laughable to talk about trust between two great schemers.
Ning Qi said, "I didn't expect that your Zhu family had been thinking of murdering my father for ten years."
Zhu Hongzhu said, "None of this has anything to do with the Zhu family. We don't know."
Xue Che said, "There's no point in saying all this now. The key question is, will Ning Zheng make a move? Will he start a war? "
In the secret room.
There were a few people sitting there, all of them big shots.
Zhu Hongzhu, Ning Qi, Zhong E, Xue Che, Shu Bodao.
They invited Eldest Princess Ning Jie, but she didn't come.
They invited Black Water Platform Governor Yan E, but he didn't come either. But these two were on Ning Qi's side.
"Fifth Brother won't start a war. Without Father's decree, if Fifth Brother starts a war with me, the Empire's army will march south and take control of Sky Yue City. To put it bluntly, he would rather the State of Yue fall into my hands than fall into the Empire's. "
Everyone's expressions turned slightly awkward when they heard this.
Zhu Hongzhu was from the Empire, Shu Bodao of the Hidden Yuan Association was also from the Empire, and even Xue Che had an inexplicable relationship with the Empire.
Xue Che said, "Based on Your Highness's understanding of Ning Zheng, what will he do?"
"I don't know," Ning Qi said, "I'm not him."
Ning Qi had a rough answer in his heart, but he was unwilling to say it out loud.
Next, Ning Qi asked, "When will the imperial envoy arrive? There's no need to wait any longer, Ning Zheng won't start a war. "
After Ning Yuanxian's fall, the Empire could have sent an imperial envoy south to take charge of the situation.
However, they didn't do so for a long time.
It was clear that they were waiting for Ning Zheng and Ning Qi to start a war.
Then, the Empire would send an army to the State of Yue to mediate.
They wanted peace, not war.
However, the mediator would suddenly disappear.
This was not the first time something like this had happened on Earth.
"It should be soon!"
… …
It was finally here!
Nineteen days after Ning Yuanxian's fall, the imperial envoy of the Empire of Great Yan finally arrived at the capital of the State of Yue.
It was an old acquaintance, Prince Lian of the Empire.
On behalf of the Emperor, he visited Ning Yuanxian, whose fate was unknown, and expressed his regret.
Then, he dispatched the Imperial Physician to treat him.
Of course, such treatment was meaningless.
Following that, Prince Lian personally went to the Queen Dowager of the State of Yue and gave her many instructions.
Arrange a funeral for the Queen Dowager as soon as possible, enter the royal mausoleum, and bury her in peace.
Why did the coffin always have to be placed in the hall?
Now that Ning Yuanxian had fallen and the position of the Young Emperor had not been decided, no one had the right to hold a large-scale funeral for the Queen Dowager.
Prince Lian was urging the State of Yue to settle the matter of the Young Emperor as soon as possible.
"My condolences, Your Majesty!"
Prince Lian expressed his condolences to Ning Yuanxian's wife, Empress Zhu.
At this point!
Empress Zhu, who had been under house arrest, finally regained her freedom.
This was a bad sign.
With Ning Yuanxian's fall and the Queen Dowager's death, Empress Zhu had the highest status in the entire royal family.
She had the right to speak on the matter of the Crown Prince.
Prince Lian said, "A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Are we going to close Tianyue City until the end of the year? Are the officials of the State of Yue going to shut down completely? Before I went south, His Majesty said that the Crown Prince of the State of Yue should be settled as soon as possible. After that, we should hold the Queen Dowager's funeral without delay. Filial piety is the most important of all virtues. "
"Yes, Your Majesty," Empress Zhu replied respectfully.
Prince Lian said, "Ning Zheng, Ning Qi, both of you are here. The officials of the State of Yue and the Privy Council are also here. I'll make a statement here. You can do as you see fit. "
"We obey Your Highness's decree."
Prince Lian said, "Tomorrow's court session will be hosted by the Empress of Yue. I'll sit on the side. But don't worry, I'll only bring my eyes and ears, not my mouth. How about it?"
Ning Qi said, "Sure."
Ning Zheng said, "Sure!"
… …
The next day, the State of Yue finally resumed the court session.
Empress Zhu hung the curtain while Prince Lian sat on the side to supervise.
"His Majesty has suffered a stroke and is still unconscious. But the country cannot be without a ruler for a day." Zhu Hongzhu said, "The matter of the Crown Prince is His Majesty's arbitrary decision. We officials can only give suggestions and not decide. Now that the Queen Dowager has passed away, only Her Majesty is left in the royal family. "
Zhu Hongzhu said to Empress Yue, "Your Majesty, what do you think? Which prince should be chosen? "
Empress Zhu was Zhu Hongzhu's daughter, but he still bowed to her meticulously.
Empress Zhu said, "My mind is in a mess and I don't know what to choose. Moreover, the harem is not allowed to interfere with politics. I have never had my own opinion, so I will listen to the officials. "
Zhu Hongzhu couldn't help but say, "My colleagues at the Secretariat and the Privy Council, what do you think?"
They shook their heads, indicating that they couldn't speak on the matter of the Crown Prince.
They were too hypocritical.
When Monarch Ning Yuanxian asked them previously, you all said that you supported Ning Qi.
Now, it was hard to speak.
In the end, after discussing for more than an hour, no rules came out.
Prince Lian was furious and said, "If we continue to discuss like this, there won't be a result next year."
Zhu Hongzhu said, "Please give us your instructions, Lord Imperial Envoy."
Prince Lian said, "It's not like this hasn't happened in the thousands of years of history. When the king is gone, there is no way to choose a Crown Prince. "The officials don't have the right to do it, so we have to choose a king! "How about we follow the rules of China 375 years ago?"
King Selection System?
There was such a thing in this world?
It had happened on Earth before. In 1572, King Ogyust of Poland died, and the throne was vacant. The nobles in the country fought fiercely, and then the noble king selection system appeared.
In the end, the first king elected was actually Henry, the younger brother of the King of France. In order to better control the king, these weird nobles were willing to choose a foreigner to be their king.
This was similar to Emperor Guangxu's attempt to invite Ito Hirobumi to be the Prime Minister of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.
"Of course, only the biological sons of the King of Yue are qualified to participate in this king selection."
"How many sons of the King of Yue are in the court?"
"Ning Qi, Ning Zhen, Ning Zheng, Ning Jing, the four of you are the only adult princes in Tianyue City." Prince Lian said, "Tell me, who is willing to participate in the king selection?"
Ning Qi stepped forward and said, "I am willing."
Ning Zheng stepped forward and said, "I am willing."
Ning Zhen didn't say a word and looked down at his shoes.
He used to follow Crown Prince Ning Yi and was considered very active. He was also very close to the Zhu family.
However, now, he was really afraid that a stone would fall and turn him into meat paste.
The sixth prince, Ning Jing, was so excited that he was trembling.
Am … am I also qualified to participate?
He wanted to participate, but he didn't have the guts.
"I … I …"
Prince Lian's eyes turned cold. "Ning Jing, you also want to participate, right?"
Ning Jing hurriedly shrank back at these words.
"No, what virtue or ability do I have?" Ning Jing smiled awkwardly.
It's good that you know. If you dare to come out today, you'll be finished in a few days.
Prince Lian said, "Then Ning Qi and Ning Zheng will be in charge of the king selection."
Ning Zheng stepped forward and said, "What if Father wakes up and the result of the king selection disagrees with him?"
Prince Lian frowned. "What do you want?"
Ning Zheng said, "Of course we have to follow Father's will."
Prince Lian said, "Is the position of Crown Prince not decided as long as the King of Yue doesn't wake up?"
Ning Zheng said, "First, choose someone to preside over the court. The buffer period is one month. If Father wakes up during this time, then of course we will follow Father's decree. If Father doesn't wake up, then it's another matter. "
Prince Lian thought for a moment. "What do you think? Zhu Hongzhu, Zhong E, Ning Qi, Ning Qi, what do you think? "
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
In the minds of Zhu Hongzhu, Ning Qi, and the others, it was impossible for the Monarch Ning Yuanxian to wake up.
Prince Lian said, "In that case, it's decided. First, we'll choose a prince to preside over the court during the king selection. If the King of Yue wakes up within a month, he'll still be the Crown Prince. But if he doesn't wake up, then the prince will automatically become the Crown Prince of the State of Yue. "
"Queen, and the ministers of the State of Yue, do you have any objections?"
"No!"
Prince Lian said, "Very well. Today, all the officials in the court have the right to vote. Elect the Crown Prince that you think is suitable. Everyone has one vote, and it's anonymous. "
A moment later.
Every official present was given a pen and a special piece of paper.
This paper had a unique pattern and couldn't be forged in a short time.
"Ministers of the State of Yue, the person you're about to elect is likely to inherit the throne in the future. I hope you can consider the big picture and be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious!"
"Start filling in the blanks. Just write your name on the paper. Either Ning Zheng or Ning Qi. Of course, if you don't, it means you forfeit. "
The order was given.
The hundreds of ministers of the State of Yue began to write their names on the paper.
They wrote down the name of the person they thought was suitable to be the Crown Prince.
After writing, they folded it so that no one could see it.
Half an hour later, everyone finished writing.
A few eunuchs carried golden basins to collect the votes.
A quarter of an hour later, all the votes were collected.
Then, the counting began in front of everyone.
Prince Lian, Zhu Hongzhu, Zhong E, and the others felt relieved.
Because the result was already decided.
More than eighty percent of the civil and military officials in the court would support Ning Qi.
Ning Zheng had always been alone and weak.
This kind of king selection seemed fair, but it was actually the most unfair.
Ning Qi was bound to win!
However, as the counting continued.
Everyone's expression changed!
"Ning Zheng, Ning Zheng, Ning Qi, Ning Zheng …"
Of the fifteen votes at the beginning, Ning Zheng had ten votes, while Ning Qi only had five.
How could he have such an overwhelming advantage?
What … What was going on?
Was this a ghost?
… …
In the capital of the Great Nan Kingdom, seven days and seven nights had passed. Shen Lang really didn't sleep or rest. He kept scanning and scanning.
He looked haggard and on the verge of collapse.
He had never suffered like this before, but he didn't dare to waste a single second.
Even if he was a little late, he might be in great danger.
He scanned hundreds of thousands of pages of ancient secret books, but he didn't find any record of that special gem.
It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It was like finding a page of material in tens of thousands of books in a library without a catalog.
But …
Suddenly, at a certain moment.
Shen Lang suddenly shivered.
Found it, he found it.
The Monarch was saved.
… …
Note: Today's reading is seventeen thousand. I'm exhausted again! Everyone, do you still have monthly tickets in your pockets? The pastries won't let you down!
Thank you, but you can't go without books. Twenty thousand coins. Riding a pig is ten thousand coins.
