Participate in the Royal Court of Langqiang.

That day, King Lao Qiang had a private conversation with his two princes in the royal tent.

That night, ominous news came out.

King Shenlang Qiang died of illness in his tent.

Upon hearing the news, Prince Ni immediately dressed up and summoned his subordinates to arrange various affairs.

Wait for everyone to gather together.

When an emergency arises, he doesn't hesitate at all.

The first step is to immediately deploy the Royal Guards to guard the area around the king's tent. No one is allowed to enter or leave without his own instructions.

Then he sent people one after another to summon all the ministers in the royal court and rushed to the tent to gather in half a quarter of an hour.

He immediately sent people to take a detour to Longxi and asked Cao to send troops.

Instructions were passed down one after another.

All the confidants also went their separate ways to make preparations.

Now, the top priority for him is not to take care of King Qiang's funeral, but to ascend the throne in a logical manner first with the unanimous recommendation of all the ministers.

Although there are some differences between the traditional succession of the Qiang people and that of the Central Plains.

As for the Han Dynasty, generally as long as the important ministers in the court support him, the prince's succession to the throne is basically a legitimate one.

This is in line with the law, because the right to speak is in the hands of the gentry.

As for the Qiang people, the support of the people in the royal court alone is not enough.

You also have to enlist the help of the clan leaders of the surrounding tribes.

Otherwise, it is equivalent to an empty shell, only in name but in reality.

However, the current Prince Ni could not care less about winning over the clan leaders of various tribes. He could only ascend the throne with the support of the ministers, purge the party members, and stabilize the royal court.

Once again, he tried to stabilize the clan leaders.

After the instructions were issued one after another, he was also preparing to arrive at the king's tent with his personal guards to take charge of the overall situation.

But before leaving, I seemed to remember something.

Then he immediately ran out of the tent and summoned someone to whisper in his ear, "You quickly lead the dead men to the tooth tent on the east side and capture the second prince."

"If he remains stubborn, he will be executed on the spot."

With this order, a strong murderous intention suddenly appeared on Prince Ni's face, and invisible murderous aura continued to emanate from his body.

Even today, the two of them expressed their intention to work together to protect the peace of the Shenlang Qiang and protect the entire clan.

But that’s just talk!

The second prince had a tit-for-tat confrontation with him before.

In particular, the matter of raising dead soldiers and trying to compete for the throne was under the eyes and ears of almost everyone in the royal court, so how could it be hidden from him?

Now the old Qiang King has passed away.

Naturally, he cannot leave any hidden dangers.

The right path is to first kill the political opponents who may threaten your smooth rise to power.

Prince Ni, who has been secretly preparing to seize the throne for many years, is already calm at the moment.

He also knew very well that kindness at this time was cruelty to himself.

After everything was settled properly, the eldest prince felt relieved and rushed to the king's tent with his bodyguard.

About two quarters of an hour later.

In the royal tent, Prince Ni was already rushing here first.

He ordered people to collect his father's body for preservation.

Follow closely.

When the ministers were notified one after another, they impatiently put on their clothes and rushed here. Many people stood in the tent, and their eyes looked quite sleepy and hazy.

Apparently he just woke up from bed and didn't have time to wash himself.

When they arrived, most of the ministers already knew the sad news that the old Qiang King had passed away due to illness.

Now of course there is no need for Prince Ni to propose personally to inherit the throne.

Someone then stood up and raised his hand and suggested loudly:

"Unfortunately, the late king has passed away due to serious illness. Our whole family is deeply saddened."

"Since the late king inherited the throne, he has worked hard to govern and protect the peace of my entire family. For decades, we have been protected from invasion by foreign enemies."

“The people can live in their homeland.”

A veteran minister with considerable experience in the royal court said this.

Immediately, he seemed to ponder for a while before speaking, and then his tone seemed to be vaguely aggravated, and he said sternly: "But as the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day."

"The late king passed away due to illness. We, the Shenlang Qiang tribe, urgently need a person with extraordinary ability and authority to lead the whole tribe in order to safeguard the interests of the people and stabilize the political situation."

"In case foreign enemies hear the news, they suddenly bring a large number of invaders and take advantage of the situation."

"The eldest prince has always been ambitious, brave, and wise. He often accompanied the late king to learn how to command troops and govern the clan."

"The prince is quite like the former king, and he is highly respected by the former king in front of him."

"At this critical moment, I would like to recommend the eldest prince to succeed the throne. Do you agree or not?"

Yi Ji Ji's words came to an end.

The somewhat respected veterans in the royal court stood up to each other for a while before finally revealing their true intentions.

As soon as this statement came out.

"I second the motion!"

"That's a good statement. The eldest prince is capable of both civil and military affairs. With his leadership, we will surely be able to restore our former glory and create greater glory for Shenlangqiang."

"Seconded!"

After a few words, the king's tent suddenly became lively.

Most of the ministers had already been won over by him, and there was a chorus of agreement.

The momentum was huge, and they all supported the call for Prince Ni to ascend to the throne.

Even a few Qing sects stood up and refuted at this time:

"Do you dare to speak such highly treasonous and unethical words in front of the late king?"

"The Qiang King is still dead, but you are so impatient to nominate the eldest prince to the throne. What is your motive?"

"It is my intention to concentrate on the spiritual affairs of King Qiang first, and then discuss the succession to the throne after his burial."

The few ministers standing on Prince Ni's side looked around, and when they found that there was no figure of Prince Ni in the entire royal tent, they even stood up and suggested this.

First, suspend the succession to the throne and focus on spiritual matters.

I want to use this to delay time and get a good opportunity for him.

However, a group of ministers who support the eldest prince have already thought about it for a long time, giving priority to the good strategy of protecting his accession to the throne. How can the decision of a few people interfere with the plan?

As soon as I finished speaking.

The respected and respected veteran just now scolded with anger on his face: "You are short-sighted and talking nonsense!"

"Now, I, the Shenlangqiang, are surrounded by powerful enemies, all of whom are eyeing our clan."

"King Qiang has passed away. If we don't establish the choice for the throne early, how can we stabilize the royal court and then intimidate all parties so that the outside world does not dare to covet him?"

"At such a critical moment, Prince Ni Er disappeared and rushed here."

"If the eldest prince hadn't been here to take charge of the overall situation, wouldn't the royal court have been in chaos by now?"

"The eldest prince is wise and mighty, and he should inherit the throne. Don't say anything more!"

"Yes. That's right."

"We jointly hope that the eldest prince will ascend to the throne as soon as possible, command the entire clan, and rectify his reputation."

As he spoke one after another, the ministers around him also echoed his words one after another.

As for Prince Ni, who was standing on the royal steps, he said nothing at the moment, with a serious face, watching everything with cold eyes.

He had already won over the ministers in advance to help him.

At this juncture, there is no need for him to come forward personally, as someone will clear the way for him to successfully ascend the throne.

He was just watching everything silently.

There is already a clear fire in my heart.

There is a way to clear the list of certain people afterwards.
