Chapter 242 The Great Elder of Holy Spirit College Appears
Armies from the five regions, namely the Golden Wolf Kingdom, the Northern Di Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom, are approaching the border, and the border is in crisis.
This piece of news made everyone present feel as if their hearts had sunk to the bottom of the lake. This was going to be a war to annihilate the country!
The other party's intention was very clear. They gathered the strength of several parties to annex Xuandu Kingdom and completely destroy it. Everyone felt a chill down their spine. This was not a matter of one person or one family, but a major event for the entire country. Once Xuandu Kingdom was occupied, many of them would not be able to survive and would be doomed to be wiped out.
Especially the princes and ministers, as well as many famous families who depended on the royal family, began to worry. Their status and wealth were with the country, and once it was destroyed, they would be left with nothing, and they might even become slaves.
As soon as the news came out, Lin'an City was immediately placed under martial law.
The palace hall.
Countermeasures are being discussed at this time.
Cang Wuya, Cang Xuanye, Cang Mingchen and other brothers of the same generation stood in the front seat. Cang Zhiheng did not make a will before his death, and the successor was not determined.
"Everyone, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The best plan now is to elect a new emperor to lead us out of the predicament." An elderly man spoke up. He had a special identity as he was a royal marquis.
"What the old marquis said is correct. Now that the country is leaderless, a new ruler must emerge."
Many people agreed and thought it made sense.
"I think His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has the prestige of the previous emperor and is a suitable candidate for the new emperor!"
A minister suddenly spoke up, breaking the situation.
"The Fourth Prince is wise and filial, and he is capable of shouldering great responsibilities!" The Minister of Rites spoke, adding weight to the speech.
Subsequently, dozens of people including the Minister of Personnel and the Censorate seconded the motion.
"Wait a minute, there is an order of seniority. The new emperor should naturally be the Second Prince. How could it be the Fourth Prince?"
Someone objected and nominated Xuanyuan Ye.
"His Highness the Second Prince is extremely powerful and has a reputation as the best. His future achievements may lead him to immortality. And as the eldest son, it is natural that he will inherit the throne!"
Dozens of people also agreed, and for a moment the hall began to argue, with no one giving in. Even other princes and princesses were involved, and the scene was in chaos.
Several elders from the Holy Spirit Academy were also present. They were all from Xuandu and had extraordinary status, so they were naturally indispensable at this time. Among the younger generation, Xiao Jingtian, the eldest senior brother, the second senior brother Zuo Yu, Qin Xiaoyue and other elite disciples were also present.
Feng Qingcheng was originally not qualified, but with her recent rise in fame and her close relationship with Cang Xuanye, she was not stopped.
"Minister Mu Wen, as the head of all officials, please speak now!" Another minister bowed to Minister Mu Wen on the upper left and said respectfully.
Since the emperor was murdered, Minister Mu Wen has not said a word and has been sitting in his seat very calmly.
At this time, many people's eyes fell on him, full of curiosity.
Mu Wenxiang's eyes shone with divine light, and he glanced at everyone, and finally sighed: "Let's choose a new emperor."
His words were soft but powerful, exploding in everyone's ears.
Minister Mu Wen is a powerful minister who holds great power, so his words are naturally very important.
Minister Hou was furious, pointing at him with a trembling hand: "Prime Minister Mu Wen, they are unreasonable, don't you know? Now the border is in danger, we should quickly counterattack and defend. But you...you actually did this, what is your intention! "
Mu Wenxiang's eyes turned cold, and he snorted, "Minister Hou, you are so arrogant that you even dare to criticize me."
The strong murderous aura made Shangshu Hou take two steps back, his face turning pale.
"Mr. Prime Minister, which prince do you think is capable of taking on the important task?" A general who supported the second prince Cang Xuanye suddenly had an idea and asked.
He was extremely excited. You know, Mu Wenxiang's daughter was engaged to the second prince. So they were family, so how could she not want to help her son-in-law?
The people on the Second Prince's side were extremely excited, with smiles on their faces. Once Mu Wen came to help, the Fourth Prince's group would have no hope at all.
However, Cang Wuya remained calm from beginning to end, and was not affected by the outside world at all. When he looked at Mu Wenxiang, a special light flashed in his eyes.
"I think the position of the new emperor..." Mu Wenxiang showed a faint smile, and finally said: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is worthy of it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. No one expected the situation to be like this.
Those ministers who supported the second prince were even more shocked.
"Mr. Xiangguo, are you talking about the Fourth Prince?"
"That's right, the Fourth Prince Cang Wuya!" Mu Wenxiang made his position clear.
For a moment, all winds turned towards Cang Wuya.
"Why is that, Your Excellency, the Second Prince is... but is your daughter..." The minister was furious and pointed at Zhou Wenxiang and shouted.
“How dare you!” Xiang Mu Wen waved his sleeves and threw the man a hundred meters away, knocking him out of the palace gate.
"How can a ruler of a country use personal feelings to influence his children?" Mu Wenxiang said righteously.
"Bullshit! The enemy is about to attack us now. Once the new emperor is chosen, they will probably have already reached Lin'an City!"
At this time, Shangshu Hou cursed angrily. He was really angry. He didn't expect that someone would come up with such a bad idea at this time.
Even though Mu Wenxiang is very powerful, he is not afraid at this moment.
Cang Wuya had a gloomy expression. He wished he could cut Shangshu Hou into pieces.
"Minister Hou, you are so bold that you dare to disturb the court. Come, drag him out!" Cang Wuya shouted, showing his mighty power.
“Stop!” Cang Xuanye stood up and said, “Fourth brother, Minister Hou is one of the six ministers. You are not the emperor yet, so watch your attitude and words!”
Cang Xuanye spoke mercilessly, and then his spiritual power surged, and he shouted: "I don't care about the throne, but I can't do anything reckless. The country is currently facing a crisis, and it is unreasonable for us to discuss these things! Today, I have invited several elders from the Holy Spirit Academy to discuss how to fight and repel the enemy, not to argue about the throne!"
His domineering aura shocked many people.
Mu Wenxiang, Xuanyuan Che and others looked gloomy. The appearance of the old man from the Holy Spirit Academy had a great impact on them.
"Cough cough!"
At this time, a light cough spread throughout the hall, and an elderly man appeared in the corner. The old man had white hair, but his skin was as white as jade, as smooth and white as a baby's.
This is the dean of the Holy Spirit Academy and also the grand elder. He is one of the strongest people in Xuandu Country and holds a prominent position. It is said that his identity may be related to the Cang clan, and his seniority is terrifyingly high.
"Great Elder!"
"Master Dean!"
"granduncle!"
The numerous titles that were used made the Great Elder seem even more mysterious.
At this time, many people confirmed that this great elder was really related to the royal family, otherwise why would the royal descendants call him great-uncle.
"Oh, I never thought that I would enter this palace one day." The great elder sighed and suddenly said this.
