Chapter 30 What’s the point of having something that is readily available?

The old man raised his cane and hit King Xu.

King Xu's thigh was injured, and he couldn't dodge it, and was hit hard.

"How dare you! You old man, you dare to hit me!"

"Today I will wake you up, you tyrant!"

"Come on, come on, stop him."

"Whoever dares to stop me, I will hit him!"

The old man shouted.

As an ordinary citizen, even his hands holding the cane were shaking, but no one in the court, including thousands of guards, dared to step forward to stop him.

Because behind the old man, stood Xu Qianqiu.

"Damn it, have you hit enough!"

King Xu was beaten so hard that he felt very painful.

He stood on one foot and kept dodging around the pillar.

The old man was relentless and raised his cane to chase him.

The ministers looked at each other, looking at the scene in front of them, feeling like they were dreaming.

Where is this?

It is the Golden Palace of Xu State, the power center of Xu State.

But now, here, the king of a country was chased and beaten by an old man with gray hair who had to walk with crutches.

What a ridiculous scene.

"It's really... a wonder of the ages."

A minister couldn't help but sigh.

Seemingly tired of the beating, the old man leaned against the pillar and panted. He looked at the King Xu who was beaten up and had a bruised face not far away. The resentment in his heart seemed to have subsided a little, and he just sighed.

"Linda, take the old man down to rest."

Xu Qianqiu said lightly.

"Yes."

The old man walked out of the palace slowly with the help of Linda.

When he passed by Xu Qianqiu, he bowed and saluted.

Xu Qianqiu also bowed in return.

Everything is self-evident.

"Rebellious son, you, what do you want to do."

King Xu looked at Xu Qianqiu. After being beaten by the old man, he seemed to have aged instantly, his eyes were decadent, and there was a kind of twilight air.

"I've said it very clearly, you should abdicate yourself, it's the last bit of dignity I leave for you." Xu Qianqiu said calmly.

"Abdicate, haha, okay, I abdicate, I want to see what kind of situation you can bring Xuguo to." King Xu smiled sadly.

Then he took off the crown, threw it on the ground, and slowly walked towards the palace door.

While walking, he kept muttering "rebellious son, rebellious son".

The whole image of a pitiful and helpless old man.

Xu Qianqiu was silent, without any ripples in his heart.

Is King Xu pitiful?

No.

It is Xu Qianqiu's greatest kindness to keep him alive.

After King Xu left.

Xu Qianqiu slowly walked to the throne, then sat down, leaning on the throne, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ministers below.

Someone who knows what's interesting came out and said quickly: "The country can't be without a king for a day. Please ask the eldest prince to take the throne as soon as possible and hold the coronation ceremony."

"Yes, please ask the eldest prince to take the throne as soon as possible."

"Please ask the eldest prince to take the throne as soon as possible."

The ministers echoed one by one.

Xu Qianming looked at Xu Qianqiu sitting on the throne and smiled bitterly.

Lost.

He lost completely.

And Xu Qianqiu sat on the throne and sneered, saying: "The king of a country, huh, what's the use of such a thing that is so easy to get?"

Xu Qianqiu's words were shocking.

Everyone was extremely stunned.

What?

Xu Qianqiu didn't plan to take the throne?

He didn't want this supreme position, so what did he want?

"The eldest prince is both virtuous and talented, and the people want him. If you don't inherit the throne, who else can inherit it?"

A minister asked in confusion.

"Come here, bring a lottery box."

Lottery box?

What do you need that thing for?

Everyone was puzzled.

Soon, a palace servant brought a lottery tube, and Xu Qianqiu drew some from it and threw them away, leaving only a few.

Then he said to Xu Qianshan, Xu Qianjiao and other royal children indifferently: "You all come forward and draw one each."

Seeing this scene, everyone had already guessed in their hearts.

Xu Qianming's pupils trembled, and he stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Ridiculous, ridiculous! You actually use such a ridiculous method as drawing lots to decide who will be the king! Xu Qianqiu, are you crazy?!"

Xu Qianming was unwilling to accept it.

That was the throne.

It was the throne he had fought for more than ten years.

But now.

Xu Qianqiu used this almost ridiculous method to decide who will be the king, which made his efforts over the past ten years look like a joke.

How could he accept it.

"Now here, I have the final say."

Xu Qianqiu glanced at the other party, "Besides, your business is not over yet, I will slowly settle with you later."

"You, you..." Xu Qianming's face flushed and he couldn't speak.

Soon.

The result of the lottery came out.

In addition to Xu Qianqiu and Xu Qianming, King Xu had nine children, and among them, only one person drew the best lot.

That was the sixth princess, Xu Qianjiao.

"Congratulations, sixth sister, on ascending the throne."

Xu Qianqiu smiled, stood up and patted his butt, "Please."

There was no attachment to the throne at all.

Xu Qianjiao looked at the best lot in her hand, feeling like she was dreaming, and then looked at the throne next to Xu Qianqiu, looking confused.

What's going on?

I, I'm going to be king?

How can I be king?

"Qianjiao, why don't you thank your elder brother quickly."

Xu Qianjiao's mother, Concubine Hui, was the first to react and said quickly.

"Oh, thank you, elder brother."

Xu Qianjiao did it in a daze.

Then she was pulled by Concubine Hui and sat on the throne.

"First Prince, in the history of the Xu Kingdom, there has never been an example of a woman becoming king. Isn't there something wrong with you doing this?"

A minister said bravely.

"It has never happened before, and it will happen from today on."

Xu Qianqiu said calmly.

Then, he looked at Xu Qianming, who was already heartbroken, and said, "Is it you who came up with the idea of ​​arresting the family members of the soldiers?"

"what you up to?"

"Imprisoned in the sky prison, he will be interrogated and beheaded after three days to set the record straight and comfort the fallen soldiers on the front line!" Xu Qianqiu's tone did not waver at all.

Everyone's hearts trembled when they heard this.

"Xu Qianqiu, no, eldest brother, eldest brother, I am your younger brother. Our blood is thicker than water. You can't do this."

Xu Qianming was really panicked now.

He crawled up to Xu Qianqiu and begged with tears in his eyes.

"Take it down."

Xu Qianqiu was unmoved.

Several soldiers stepped forward and dragged Xu Qianming down.

"Brother, brother, you can't do this."

"I know I was wrong, please spare me this time, please."

"Father, help me."

Xu Qianming's cries for mercy and help kept ringing.

But it gradually drifted away until it disappeared.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Qianqiu's face showed no emotion at all. The outcome was already doomed when Xu Qianming proposed that ridiculous idea.

"The Minister of Rites."

"exist."

"Go down and prepare for the new king's enthronement."

"yes."

"The Ministry of War."

"exist."

"The family members of the soldiers arrested this time have been frightened a lot and need to be comforted. In addition, all officials involved in this matter, regardless of their official position, have come to me one by one to kowtow and apologize. If anyone does not comply, they will be killed! "

"yes."

Xu Qianqiu issued a series of orders.

Everyone did not dare to disobey and agreed one by one.

Xu Qianjiao sat obediently on the throne and did not dare to speak.

Like a mascot.

A birthday banquet for King Xu ended with King Xu abdicating the throne.

Everybody knows.

From now on, Xu Qianqiu will be in charge of Xu State.

As for the king of Xu State.

It's just a puppet in his hands. As for why he doesn't want to be the king, I guess only he knows this.
