Thank you for your hospitality, Her Majesty

The form was handed in, among which were the names of Hua Zheng and Hua Ce.Normally, the leader abdicates with the previous king, barring unforeseen circumstances.

However, it is not surprising that the current situation is unexpected. The king and the leader have been fighting for a long time, and one side will always be defeated.And if Hua Yuanqing fails, it is almost a certainty that the leader will be replaced early.

Because the leader was strong before Hua Zheng appeared, almost everyone thought that Hua Ce would be the next successor. After Hua Zheng appeared, most of them felt that it must be her. Therefore, except for them, the other candidates on the list are not very competitive.

It is not surprising that Hua Ce can still be included in the list of candidates, this is also one of Hua Yuandu's promises to him.

However, because of the aftermath of this battle, the sentry tower is destined to be in turmoil for several years, and the selection of leaders cannot begin immediately.Considering that the new leader's coming to power may have an impact on the final judgment of this battle, the selection of a new leader cannot start until the last sentinel has a fair trial.

Of course, this is the result of Hua Ce's promotion, and the remnants of Hua Yuanqing's faction have reached the time of desperate.

The procrastination serves three purposes.

One, of course, wants to simply drag Hua Yuandu to death. The king is seriously ill. Although he is trying to transfer power to Hua Tuo in a smooth manner, his sudden death will definitely have a great impact on the situation. At that time, they still have a lot to do.

One is that the leader is not in power for a day. As the original leader, Hua Yuanqing, the previous orders and regulations have legal effect, which can be used as evidence for the defense of the two towers to the greatest extent, and retain more power for them.

The last one is that after all the liquidation is completed, even if a new leader takes over, the judgment that has already been made cannot be changed.

Now that things have come to this point, the flower clusters are no longer in a hurry.She had just taken over government affairs and had too many things to do. The country had experienced a civil war, and people's livelihood issues and post-disaster reconstruction were her top priorities.In her eyes, Hua Ce is already a bunch of clowns. As long as she stabilizes the situation and wins the support of most of the councilors, nobles and people, these methods will not shake her position at all.

What's more, she still has a zither.

Hua Tuo has no doubts about the ultimate ownership of the leader. After seeing the strength of Hua Zheng, no one would think that Hua Ce has a chance of winning.

The only thing that worried her was that Hua Yuandu's condition had deteriorated rapidly in the past four years, and Du Simin's health was also deteriorating.

Man, living long is the real victory.

In the first two years of hospitalization, Hua Yuandu often asked about government affairs and gave Hua Cui some opinions and suggestions, but from the third year onwards, he seldom talked about these topics. Instead, he liked to let Hua Jian and his wife bring Hua Mu to play.

When Hua Mu was four years old, she was already a little princess. Although her temper was still lively, she was well-trained in etiquette, generous and decent, and never stage fright.In the past four years, she spent most of her time in the manor in Yingzhou, and every time she appeared in the imperial capital, she would attract a lot of attention.

Sheng Chao has just gone through war, and a member of the royal family who is so cute can undoubtedly divert a lot of attention from everyone.

At the beginning, Hua Cu was reluctant to expose Hua Mu too much, but after seeing the reaction of the public and Hua Mu, she chose to let nature take its course.

This year, Hua Jian's family also came to the imperial capital around October.Compared with the warm climate in Yingzhou, the imperial capital at this time was already very cold.Du Simin's body became weaker and weaker, and the doctor did not advise her to come to the imperial capital, but Hua Jian couldn't hold her back in the end.

She was unwilling to break up with Hua Mu or let Hua Mu stay with her in Yingzhou.

When the family of three arrived at the palace, Du Simin went to the convalescent room to rest first, but Hua Jian brought Hua Mu to meet Hua Yuandu with Hua Cu and Hua Zheng.

Compared with Du Simin's ailment that could not be found out and was only weak, the old king is now really at the end of the day, relying on medicine and equipment to hang his life.

Several people thought at the same time that he might not be able to survive this winter.

As soon as Hua Mu arrived, the ward rarely showed a little anger.Huayuan knew how many people were coming, and had taken the medicine in advance, so there was no big problem in speaking or acting.

"Grandpa!" As soon as Hua Mu entered the room, he rushed towards Hua Yuandu, his short legs rattling.

"Mu Mu, don't bump into Grandpa."

Seeing her rushing so recklessly, Hua Cui hastily reminded her.

While she was speaking, Hua Mu had already thrown herself into Grandpa's arms.Huayuan was sitting in a wheelchair, holding her in his arms, and said with a cheerful smile, "Mumu has grown up again, grandpa, take a look, ouch, she has grown a lot taller, and she is beautiful again."

When the elders see the younger generation, it is nothing more than a few words, but it is enough to reflect the friendship between grandparents and grandchildren.

Hua Mu snapped off his coat, and said sweetly: "Grandpa, we had a video chat the day before yesterday, and you said that at that time."

Huayuan patted her head, "You are growing up, and you look different every day. If grandpa sees you again tomorrow, he will have to say that."

Hua Mu tore off his coat, revealing a little white dress underneath, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, do you think my dress looks good? It was given to me by my aunt."

She is just at a lovely age, and has inherited all the advantages of the royal blood, and her skin is as fair and tender as a baby's. Wearing a little white dress, she looks like a snow doll.

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful, our Mumu is the best, come, give grandpa a kiss."

Huayuan bent down slightly, and Hua Mu stood on tiptoe and gave a mouthful, with a smile on his face, but his voice was a little dissatisfied, "Grandpa, you always say that."

Huayuan was happy, and kissed her twice fiercely, "Grandpa is telling the truth, you and your mother looked exactly the same when they were young."

Hua Mu tilted her head slightly, a little puzzled, "But others say I'm more like an aunt."

Hua Yuan was stunned for a moment, then picked her up and laughed, "My niece looks like an aunt, and you should be like your aunt. Your aunt was also the prettiest little princess when she was young."

Hua Mu naturally hugged Hua Yuandu's neck, and asked, "Am I prettier or Auntie is prettier?"

Small things are quite picky, and when they come, they have to compare themselves with the number one beauty in Shengchao.

Huayuan nodded her nose, "Your aunt is the most beautiful queen, and you are the most beautiful princess."

Although the flower cluster has not officially taken over the position of queen, there is no difference in essence.

Hua Mu took a look at the flowers, and said firmly: "I think my aunt is the prettiest, and I will look as good-looking as her in the future, right?"

Huayuan laughed, "That's right."

But at the age of four, he loves smug beauty so much, and he doesn't know who he looks like.

Hua Tuo glanced at Hua Zheng, and stepped forward to interrupt the joy of grandparents and grandchildren.

"Mu Mu, grandpa is sick. You are already a young adult. Grandpa will be tired if he hugs you."

Hua Yuandu now looks as if he has a granddaughter and forgets about his children. When the other three came in for a long time, he didn't look away, and they were teasing Hua Mu the whole time.

"How can I be so helpless? Mu Mu finally came here, let me give you more hugs."

Huayuan reprimanded the eldest daughter, Huatu was speechless.

"Father, you still don't want to be brave."

Hua Jian is also helpless.After being ill, Huayuan was very free-wheeling, unscrupulous in all aspects, and looked indifferent about life and death.Not to mention hugging flowers and bathing, even taking medicine to go fishing when the interest comes up.

"You two brothers and sisters are working together to control me now."

He is now the same age as Hua Mu, and he may not be as sensible as Hua Mu, so the siblings have nothing to do.

"Grandpa, I'd better come down." Hua Mu twisted her body, "Don't get tired, I'll sit next to you."

Huayuan's heart also melted on the spot, and she immediately praised her, "It's still Mu Mu who will feel sorry for grandpa and ask your father to bring you a small chair."

What she said was utterly unreasonable, and the two of them looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Naturally, Hua Jian immediately brought a small chair for Hua Mu, so that she could lie on Hua Yuandu's lap and continue acting like a baby.

Several people brought Hua Mu to see Huayuandu, of course not to discuss any serious business.Considering his physical condition, this is already close to the stage of hospice care.

Everyone chatted around for a while, but it was Hanahara who asked about the trial results of those sentries after a long time.

"It is basically over, and the most controversial case will have its final result next month."

Huayuan nodded reassuringly, "That's good, I can really feel relieved when this matter is over."

As soon as these words came out, both Huachui and Huajian felt a little sad.

"At that time, you will be able to recuperate with peace of mind."

Huayuan was noncommittal to the words of the flower clusters, and everyone knew that this was impossible.

"Don't talk about recuperating with peace of mind. You guys have to bring Mu Mu to visit me recently. I need to be lively here."

Of course the two would not refuse.

Hua Mu lay on Hua Yuandu's lap, and had already dozed off after a long time. They were planning to go back when it was getting late, but Hua Yuandu said at this moment: "You two take Mu Mu out first, Xiaozheng stays behind. Come down and talk to me."

Huazheng was always present, but she didn't participate in the slightest interaction throughout the whole process, like a ghost.This is her role, and everyone has taken it for granted.Hua Yuandu even turned a blind eye to her on weekdays, but today he suddenly asked her to stay, and his intentions were really hard to fathom.

Hua Tuo subconsciously glanced at Hua Zheng, and couldn't help showing a bit of hesitation on his face.

"dad……"

Huayuan waved her hand, "This is the last conversation I will have with Xiaozheng, you all go out."

His tone was unquestionable, and Hua Zheng also answered "yes", Hua Cu couldn't say anything more, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Her relationship with Huazheng is very stable now, maintaining a close physical relationship and not talking about other things.

But she didn't know if this conversation would have any impact on the two of them.

Chapter Catalog Feelings ([-])

There were only two people left in the room, Huayuan looked at Huazheng quietly, and spoke first.

"Are you sure about the selection of the leader?"

Hua Zheng seemed puzzled, "Do you still doubt my ability?"

"Cough cough..."

Hanahara wanted to speak, but coughed violently for a while.Hua Zheng took the initiative to help him put on a respirator and injected medicine.

"If you use my serum, you should still live for a few more years."

Hanahara waved his hands and took a moment to relax.

"It's boring, Xiaozhu can already take care of himself, and with Mumu, I can feel at ease."

Hua Zheng remained silent, Hua Yuandu continued: "Although Hua Ce is left behind, but with you around, he can't be successful."

"What about γ? Su Youning's seal is just a stopgap measure, and he will make a comeback sooner or later."

Huazheng has not given up monitoring Du Huan in recent years and found nothing abnormal, but she always feels uneasy.

"γ wasn't something I could deal with in the first place, so I'll leave it to you later."

"You really are living a willful life."

Huayuan leaned against the back of the chair, staring at a certain point in the sky, as if caught in a memory.

"I, I really should have lived a more casual life. Like Ziwei, we have never had this ambition. Hua Yuanqing... my brother is a born king, born as a crown prince, and shoulders the future of the empire since he was a child. Strict with self-discipline and strict with others. We all admired him, and never thought about competing for the throne. We all believed at that time that he would be an excellent king, and we believed that he would lead the prosperous dynasty to glory and restore the royal family to its former glory. Majesty and glory."

Huazheng listened silently, without interrupting him.

"However, that happened. It wasn't just me. The father and the royal family had to make a choice. Is it the crown prince or the people? I don't have any talents, but Peiqing chose me. She is the one who will save the people from the coming... rescued from it."

"She is a person with a truly compassionate heart and thunderous methods. I often think, why isn't she the one who was born in the royal family?"

"It can be seen that you have a very deep affection for the first queen. You love her, trust her, and worship her."

Huayuan showed a smile, "You're right, I liked her when she was my brother's fiancée. Not only me, but nine out of ten sentinels among the nobles of the Sheng Dynasty admired her."

"I have read the biographies of the previous queens, and I have read a lot of anecdotes. I think she possesses a certain ability—the guiding ability of a born king."

Huayuan turned her eyes and looked at her, "Yes, I only found out after I married her, but this can't affect my feelings for her. I know that everything is true. Of course, in the When you are under her aura, you can't detect this kind of influence at all...Xiao Zhu, you really look like her."

"In my opinion, His Highness is also very similar to you, or rather, you in the past."

"Yeah, so it's not enough. I dragged Peiqing down. I can't let my influence on Xiaozhu drag Xiaozhu down again. You are my way of making up for Xiaozhu and Shengchao."

"It's also a means for you to evade your responsibility."

Hua Zheng didn't question her identity at all.

Huayuan sighed, "Yeah, after Peiqing left, I was no different from death, and my only goal was to help her avenge. How can I be responsible for such a walking dead?"

Huazheng just smiled lightly at his uprightness.

"Honestly, I am very grateful to you, and I feel that I should thank you. You protected Xiaozhu, let her grow up, and brought Mumu. Think about it carefully, you may be the only one who saves Xiaozhu and Ah in my life. Apart from Jane, the greatest achievement is also the greatest contribution to Shengchao."

"It seems that you just want to make a self-summary?"

"When a person is about to die, his words are good. You should regard it as my last confession."

"But that doesn't sound like a confession to me."

"Do you need my confession?"

Huazheng smiled helplessly: "This has nothing to do with my needs. If you don't have the heart to repent, what's the use of my needs?"

"I didn't expect," Huayuan said in a daze, "one day you will say such a thing."

"Let us thank the great Her Majesty the Queen."

Huayuan was silent for a long time as if in a daze, and finally said: "The people I owe in this life have made too many mistakes, most of which can no longer be made up for. But you, I have given you the most precious thing... "

"I have nothing to be dissatisfied with, right?"

"..."

"Maybe I don't understand pain, maybe I don't feel fear, maybe I don't know what hatred is, but some people have been teaching me what love is."

Hanahara's fingers resting on the armrest suddenly trembled violently.

"I must be an extremely stupid person, so I can't learn it all the time."

He stared at Huazheng, as if he wanted to judge whether the sentence was a statement or an interrogative sentence, as if he wanted to find out the true meaning of the sentence, and also as if he wanted to see the truth of the sentence from her.

But at the end of the day, he just let out a sigh.

"Xiaozhu and Mumu, I'll leave it to you."

The conversation went on for about ten minutes, and when Huazheng came out, there were only flower clusters left outside the door.

Hua Tuo walked ahead without saying a word, and Hua Zheng quickly followed, and she didn't hear her voice until she got on the flying plane.

"What did Dad talk to you about?"

"His Majesty spoke of your mother."

"Mother?"

"Yes, he talked a lot about the past, including your mother, Hua Yuanqing, etc., and also talked about the future. I hope I can do my best to protect you and the eldest lady."

"only these?"

It is not surprising that Hanahara will confess her last words at this time.But leaving Huazheng alone, she always felt that things were not that simple.

"I also said some thoughts."

"About what."

"About you."

"mine?"

Blossoms are puzzled.

"Yes, Your Majesty said that you are very similar to the first queen, and I said that you are also very similar to Your Majesty."

Hua Cu really didn't know what was the point of the two talking about this kind of topic at this time.

"So you have leisure time?"

"It's not all because of idleness." Huazheng laughed, "Your Majesty said that you are the future of Sheng Dynasty, and it's time for him to withdraw from the stage of history."

After Huayuan became seriously ill, Huazu showed a considerable degree of tolerance and understanding to him, but at this moment, she let out a cold snort in her nasal cavity.

"Father said everything as if it was fate, as if he had fulfilled some mission, but that was just his wishful thinking. I have long thought that the average life expectancy of ordinary people has exceeded a hundred years, and the sentries and guides We can reach the terrifying two hundred years old. Compared with the ancients, each of us is lucky, because we have more time to study, longer time to make up for mistakes, and more energy Go play your heat."

"However, the recent generations of kings in the Sheng Dynasty seldom ruled for more than 30 years. Don't you think it's a pity? They abdicated due to various reasons. My father, you have seen, and my grandfather has also experienced Uncle was devastated afterward and passed away absurdly from drug overdose."

"Cultivating heirs early, looking ahead, seems to me to be nothing more than a lack of self-confidence. They place their hopes on the next generation of things they can't do, and impose their own visions that they can't achieve on their children and grandchildren. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous for your contribution?”

"I won't do this. I must live for a long time. Before Mumu wants to take over the throne, until she is able to take over the throne, I will live as a queen. The Sheng Dynasty is very powerful, but the power of the Sheng Dynasty can't cover up its power." Turmoil. I thought for a long time about what I could do, and I came to the conclusion that I lived longer."

Today's technology has been highly developed. As a superpower, the prosperous dynasty has a strong national power, the current situation is relatively stable, and the welfare facilities are complete. There are basically not too many troubles in terms of people's livelihood.In addition to making up for leaks, the recent kings are actually engaged in a tug-of-war for power with capital most of the time.

The status of the once powerful royal family has indeed been shaken. If Hua Yuanqing had been in power at the beginning, the royal family might indeed be able to restore its former glory for a while.

But for the people, this is by no means a good thing.

If the flower cluster becomes the queen, all it has to do is maintain the balance.Safeguard the interests of the people, increase their trust in the royal family, and curb further encroachment of capital.

As a monarch who is not incompetent, Hua Tuo's statement may indeed be the best answer to these situations, and it is also a manifestation of her self-confidence.

Every change of power inevitably has some influence, especially if the next king has completely different political views from the previous generation.

And if the leader is replaced frequently in the short term, not only will the people feel distrustful, but it will also give other forces an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Running is a cowardly act. Father has already made so many preparations, why can't he persist. If he can fulfill mother's wish by himself, mother will be happier, right?"

Huazheng finally fully understands the reason why Huayuan is so obsessed with Huamu. She is indeed a born king, with a sense of responsibility and strength that ordinary people cannot match.No matter what happened, she never escaped.Even if you make a mistake, you have the courage to correct it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's feelings are sincere and passionate, but his reason is equally strong.

Even though he was deeply hurt by her, the crown prince still found a way to coexist peacefully with her under the intertwining of strong love and hatred.

This requires not only love, but also reason and open-mindedness, a strong heart and a firm will.

Unlike recent generations of kings, Blossom is truly free from the shackles of love.She doesn't despise feelings, but feelings are by no means all she has.

Of course, this is not too rare in the history of the prosperous dynasty. The guide seems to be more rational than the sentinel by nature.Most of the prosperous times in the history of the prosperous dynasty were created by guides, and they were often in power for a longer time, regardless of gender.

Perhaps this is the reason why many people criticize the lineal succession system, the reason why many people strongly hope that the Sheng Dynasty will have another wizard queen, and the reason why many people have strong expectations for the flower cluster.

The wizard queen, Sheng Chao has not appeared for many years.

Chapter Catalog Feelings ([-])

After four years of prison life, Hua Yuanqing's mental state did not seem to have declined at all.Even in prison, he still maintains a good schedule, exercise and sports.

He was originally the proud son of heaven, but he was dormant because of a huge setback. After so many years, he has become accustomed to waiting for opportunities.As long as he is alive, he can face all situations calmly and persevere until the day when Hanahara fails.

Unlike Hanahara, what he is obsessed with has never disappeared.

On this day, he still got up early, ate breakfast, did morning exercises in the narrow room, and then started today's book.Life in prison is not considered hard, but the lack of access to other information other than paper books is a great test of patience.

Hua Yuanqing has been doing well so far, but on this day, a visitor broke the peace.

Hanahara attended several times at the beginning of the interrogation, and he never came to see Huayuan Qing again, but today, three years after all the dust settled, he paid a surprise visit to Huayuan Qing.

The meeting between the two brothers this time was not considered tense, and the two talked through the window, which seemed to be somewhat calm.

Huayuan was sitting in a wheelchair, his face was pale, his breath was short, and his voice was very weak.

"Brother seems to be doing well."

With Hua Yuanqing's status, even if he is a prisoner, it is certainly impossible to treat him badly in material terms.

"Thanks to you, the treatment is very good." Hua Yuan knew the news that Hua Yuandu was seriously ill early in the morning, and his attitude became more calm, "On the contrary, it's you, you don't look very good."

Huayuan smiled lightly and said: "Life and death are fate, this is the last time I will see you."

"Oh? It seems that you still have unfulfilled wishes before you die. Do you need help from your elder brother?"

"I've come to tell you a few things."

"Is there anything we can say now?"

"It's some past events, I think my brother should be interested."

Hua Yuanqing frowned, but stopped talking.Huayuan gasped for a while, and said slowly: "After that incident, Peiqing and I have been investigating who sent you the fake news."

"Hmph, hypocrisy, I have already found out about this matter, that sentinel belongs to the Shen family faction, besides you and Shen Peiqing colluding to frame me, what other possibility is there?"

"From the perspective of vested interests, this seems to be the most reasonable possibility." Huayuan tilted her head, as if lost in memory, "I won the throne of king, and Peiqing became queen. However, after she married She was already your fiancée before giving it to me, why bother?"

Hua Yuanqing finally showed an angry look on his face, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing violently.

"Why? I also want to ask why! How are you better than me? Why did Pei Qing fall in love with you, a coward!"

Huayuan moved her eyes and looked straight at him, "Brother, you were so radiant back then, the proud son of heaven, and Peiqing was a match made in heaven. She had high hopes for you from the beginning, and she never had more for me than my sister." The feelings of brotherly love. But you have different ideas, and you insist on going your own way. It was you who didn't listen to dissuasion and massacred civilians that made her completely disappointed."

Huayuan sneered coldly, "High hopes? Disappointment? Who does Shen Peiqing think she is? Why does she judge my behavior? I am the crown prince of the prosperous dynasty, and I am the future king. All her glory I gave it to her, what right does she have to criticize me?"

"But who gave you your glory? What Peiqing cares about is not her at all, but what you care about is only your self-esteem. She chose me because of your arrogance, domineering and brutality, and you are the reason. This choice is just a result. But during this period, we have never used any despicable means, and Pei Qing doesn't bother with those despicable means. You lost because of public opinion, and the people of the Sheng Dynasty did not want you to be the leader."

"hypocritical!"

"I didn't want to argue with you today, but just to tell you," Hanahara didn't argue, "The persistent investigation finally came to fruition, you should be familiar with the mastermind behind that incident, and you even It was such a pleasure working together, isn't it ironic?"

Hua Yuanqing already had a hideous expression on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't want to lie to me."

"In fact, he has enough reasons to do such a thing. If you are not blinded by unwillingness and anger, you should be aware of it easily. Who is the real beneficiary of the royal family members? The three of us grew up together, Peiqing and I understand your character, and you should understand us as well. Peiqing is not such a despicable person, and I have never had any fantasies about being king."

"But you like Peiqing!"

"At that time, was there any noble boy who didn't have a heart for Pei Qing? But I always thought that the only one worthy of her is you, big brother."

Hua Yuanqing was already furious, but suddenly calmed down at this moment, "I know, you are here today to disturb my state of mind."

"Whatever you want to understand, I just want to explain everything clearly, and then go to see Peiqing."

"Hehehe, even if you are about to die, you are still so vicious."

Huayuan sighed, "After becoming the crown prince, I felt very guilty, so when my father said that he wanted you to be the leader, I did not object. If there is no Peiqing, I will probably continue to pamper you."

Hanahara, who had always been sickly, had sharp eyes at this moment.

"You shouldn't have changed, you shouldn't have done anything to Peiqing...you shouldn't have done anything to her!"

The death of Shen Peiqing became the last sharp blade to cut off the bond between the two brothers. The two completely turned against each other, and there was no possibility of kindness anymore.

"No? Why shouldn't it? She made me taste the greatest frustration and pain in my life. If I can't get her, should I let you live happily ever after? She has great ambitions, but you have blind Love, I want to prevent her ambition from being realized and your love to have nowhere to rest, this is the best punishment for you.”

"You're right," Huayuan murmured in a low voice, "You're right. The great one is Peiqing, and I'm just her follower. And you are just a slave to power."

"Hua Yuanqing, I have been suffering for the past three years just for today. Today, the cage I specially made for you is finally completed."

"Do you know the No. [-] Bravery?"

Bravery is the latest migratory space exploration spacecraft, carrying various specimens, and plans to wander the universe for 100 years, and then return with these valuable experimental data.

"I built the best prison cell for you inside, a solid prison cell that cannot be destroyed. The materials on it are enough for you to survive for hundreds of years, and there are no other humans in it except you. You are the master of Invincible."

"Except for the regular daily meals, there is nothing in the cell. You will not be able to use your sentinel ability, you will not be able to obtain any information, and any factors that may disturb your thinking about life and confessing the past will be excluded."

"I'm looking forward to it, come back in a hundred years, will you still be alive?"

Space exile, this is the treatment that only gangsters can enjoy, and it is a punishment that ignores morality and human rights.

These were the most vicious words that Hua Yuandu had ever said in his life, and they were also the words that pleased him the most.

Hua Yuanqing finally showed a crazy look because of these words, "Hua Yuandu, you don't have such rights! You don't have the authority of the king now, and my trial is over!"

"The trial of the leader is indeed over, but the punishment of Hua Yuanqing has just begun. This is justice more than 20 years late, and Zong Zhengshu has also agreed. Brother, go and enjoy the rest of your life."

Hanahara showed a victorious smile, "Which is more painful, death or survival, I think you will have the answer soon."

And he has already answered this.

At the end of 2150, Huayuan died, and the Sheng Dynasty held a national funeral, and began preparations for the succession ceremony of the new monarch.

However, at the beginning of the following year, the House of Lords suddenly took issue with Blossom, questioning the legitimacy of her succession.The proposal was initiated by Du Guanqian, the president of the House of Lords and the Minister of Seals. As Du Simin's cousin, he has always been deeply trusted by the Huatu siblings.

The Du family and the Shen family were once the pillars of the prosperous dynasty, but the two branches of the Shen family are now flourishing, occupying the two important positions of the marshal and prime minister of the empire, and they are in the limelight for a while.However, the Du family began to decline decades ago, and now only Du Guanqian still holds important positions.

But even if it was not as good as before, the influence of the Du family in the House of Lords was still enormous. As soon as the proposal came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Du Guanqian questioned Huatu's inheritance rights, not even because of Huayuandu's previous controversial behavior, but because of the legitimacy of his succession to the throne.

Du Simin's father, Du Guanxun, immediately came to apologize to Hua Cuu after learning about the incident, but the matter had come to this point, and the plea was useless.

The entanglement of the old past will inevitably be endless, and the flower clusters will never make this proposal really put on the agenda.

A country cannot be without a king for a day. No matter what the other party's purpose is, this state will inevitably have an impact on stability if it lasts for a long time.

"It's pointless to dwell on how Du Guanqian was attracted by Hua Ce. Since they don't want me to become queen so soon, let's choose the leader first."

Having just experienced the pain of losing her father, Hua Cuu no longer has much sadness on her body.The sudden situation did not make her lose her footing, and she calmly summoned the marshal, the prime minister, and representatives from all parties she trusted to discuss.

Du Guanqian's sudden rebellion made them panic and uneasy to a large extent.Because this is likely to make them lose the trust of the flower clusters and cause suspicion between the monarch and his ministers.

The flower clusters quickly dispelled their doubts and accurately summoned the ministers who were still loyal to them, which made them very relieved.As vassals, they have their own news channels, and they have some confidence in whether they are enemies or friends.

Blossom is obviously not an ignorant monarch, let alone ignorant of the following situation.It can be seen from the attitude of dealing with Du Guanqian's attack that she has full confidence in surviving this crisis.

Chapter Catalog Feelings ([-])

The flower cluster's counterattack was faster than anyone expected. Obviously, she may not know that it was Du Guanqian who made the attack, but she has already been prepared for any possible situation.

The selection of the leader does not need to go through the House of Lords, but only needs to be considered and approved by Zong Zhengshu and the sentry elders.Hua Zheng was the designated successor of the leader before Hua Yuandu died, but the king's right to appoint in this matter is more like the right to propose, and it still needs to be approved before being appointed.

Naturally, Hua Ce's faction would not let things go so smoothly, the leader still went through the selection process, Hua Tuo sped up the process at this time, and the date was quickly decided.

In addition to meeting the conditions of identity, ancestry and ability, candidates also have age restrictions.In order to prevent the monarch from being coerced by the leader, the leader is generally of the same generation as the king, or the age difference is not more than ten years old.

In the past, a leader had to be of royal blood; more recently, adopted children are included.Most of the time, the leader will select the strongest sentinel of this generation to inherit. If there are multiple powerful people who are difficult to judge, they will be determined through leader selection.

There are only four candidates for this year. Apart from Hua Zheng and Hua Ce, Shen Shiming from Hua Tuo's side also participated in the selection. The other one is from Du's family and was sent to the selection by Hua Ce's side. .

The method of leader selection is very simple and rude, four people will be eliminated, and the opponent will be decided by the oldest lottery.

It can be said that the selection of the leader this time is related to the situation of the prosperous dynasty in the future, and it has attracted more attention than the previous ones where candidates had already been appointed.

At the critical moment, Hua Jian naturally had to stay in the imperial capital to support her sister.Not only him, Huayuan Ziwei, as the only younger brother of Huayuandu, also rushed back to the imperial capital from the fief at this time to express her support for her niece.

The first match between Huazheng and Du Siyuan will be held three days later.

Hua Tuo has absolute confidence in Hua Zheng's strength, but the information before the duel is essential.It's just that for Du Siyuan, there are too few materials that can be studied.

Du Siyuan is the youngest child of Du Guanqian
