The king of Wei stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "this is the truth. I don't know what magic method your Highness has to calm down the civil strife?"

Dongfang Hui thought for a moment and said, "Lao Jiu's stealing the military talisman is to summon his troops to seize the throne. But what the soldiers obey is not Lao Jiu's orders, but the imperial power represented by the military talisman. As long as the soldiers know that his majesty is safe and Jinling is safe, they will naturally abandon the light to the dark and no longer help Zhou." After a pause, he added: "it's the soldiers' mission to go to battle and kill the enemy, but I believe it will never be their preference. No soldier will want to make unnecessary sacrifices."

Dai Wang interjected: "according to the empress dowager, your majesty has been in a coma and can't be in charge of affairs. How can you call it" an Hao "

The king of Wei looked at Dongfang Hui meaningfully, "King Gong's so-called peace, but it means you can take your majesty instead?"

Dongfang Hui gave them a long gift and said, "as a minister, I dare not have such a rebellious idea."

The king of Wei pointed to Li Zhengfeng, who was at the bottom of the table, and said, "but just now Li Shangshu said, looking at the royal family, no one is more suitable for you than King Gong."

"Thanks for Li Shangshu's high opinion, I'm really ashamed." After another salute, Dongfang Hui said solemnly: "in fact, there is a best candidate in his heart, but I don't know what his uncles think." The eight vassal kings who came to Beijing this time were all of the same generation as emperor Cheng. He said that it would be appropriate to say uncle.

"Please, King Gong." After receiving Daiwang's words, Dongfang Hui said: "several uncles have been guarding the frontier. It may not be clear. Before your Majesty's accident, Zhao Zhaorong had already given birth to a son. It is most appropriate for the son to inherit his father's position."

"No way!" Wei Jin was the first one to voice his opposition. "How can we give the big Zhou Jiangshan to a child who knows nothing? It's just a joke. It's absolutely impossible!"

Of course, Dongfang Hui didn't really want to support his young son as emperor. He pretended: "although the prince is a little younger, with our support, he can't expect anything to happen. When the prince grows up in the future, he will be in power again."

"When the time comes, the nine kings will attack. Shall we go to pacify the rebellion with a baby?" Without waiting for other people's words, the king of Pingyang answered himself: "I'm afraid that if we can't fight the rebellion, it will become a joke all over the world. We can't afford to lose this man!"

Li Zhengfeng added in a voice: "Wei Hou and the king of Pingyang are right. Moreover, Zhao Zhaorong was born in an ordinary family and was only a concubine. How could her children inherit the throne of the Zhou Dynasty?" At this point, he suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down to the East. "Big Zhou is now suffering from internal and external troubles. Only when his highness succeeds to the throne can he stabilize the king's heart, calm down the troubles, and return his feelings. Don't refuse!"

At the bottom of his heart, Dongfang Hui was willing to be a thousand or ten thousand, but on the surface, he still had to pretend and waved his hand at once, "absolutely not. When I was in power, I made many mistakes. I had no virtue or talent. How can I succeed to the throne again? Please don't say that again in the future!"

"If a man is not a saint, he can do nothing wrong. As long as your highness remembers the previous lesson, he will not repeat it." With that, Li Zhengfeng kowtowed and said in a loud voice, "Your Highness, please put the overall situation first."

"Your Highness, please put the overall situation first!" Several other courtiers also knelt down and asked Dongfang Hui to ascend the throne. Without exception, they all disagreed with the succession of Zhao Pingqing's son.

Although Wei and Jin were slightly biased in their words, they did share this truth. It is undoubtedly better for the overall situation than for a suckling child to ascend to the throne.

Thinking of this, several vassal kings exchanged a look at each other, and the king of Wei stood up and said: "looking at Jinling City, only your highness can make Jinling through this crisis. Please don't refuse. We will give our support to you."

Dongfang Hui was embarrassed and said, "why did you even say that to all my uncles? It's true..."

Dai Wang interrupted: "Your Highness, please take Jinling as your priority and the overall situation as your priority."

"Huier." As if the Empress Dowager Wei slowly opened her eyes, Dongfang Hui quickly arched his hand and said: "my son is here."

Empress Dowager Wei looked around slowly and said calmly, "don't you refuse if the eight princes see you so well, Jinling - don't make a mess!"

Seeing that the play was almost finished, Dongfang Hui sighed and bowed his head and said, "my son, I'll take orders!"

When the eight vassal kings heard this, they knew that he had agreed. They immediately knelt down on one knee and said in unison with Wei Jin and others, "long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"

Dongfang Hui looked down at the people crawling at his feet, and his lips slowly bent up, "Aiqing is flat."

After more than half a year's forbearance, he finally got the pride of today and regained what belonged to him. From now on, he will firmly hold this supreme power and never let anyone take it away.

After the crowd got up, he said slowly, "I'm in danger. I'll try my best to pacify the rebellion and the people." Then he looked at the king of Wei and others, "I don't know how many soldiers your uncles brought to Beijing this time?"

"If you want to return to your highness, I and the other eight brought about 100000 soldiers to Beijing. If you need to transfer another soldier, it will take about half a month to go back and forth."

Dongfang Hui pondered: "100000 troops, plus the infantry, Yamen and imperial guards in Jinling City, even if Dongfang Ze could not be persuaded to surrender, it would be enough to rely on the city defense to fight against them."Empress Dowager Wei stroked Turquoise Blue's sleeve and said calmly, "it's not a small matter to mobilize troops. As the saying goes, before the troops are moved, food and grass will go first. No matter how fast Lao Jiu's troop deployment is, it will take ten days and a half months. Now you Send a letter back. When Lao Jiu comes to attack, reinforcements will almost arrive. If he doesn't fall, he will have to face the situation of front and back attack. By that time, he will have lost the battle before he fought Half of it. "

The king of Wei and others agreed one after another. Just as they were going out to deliver a letter, Fang Zhan quickly came in with one hand and said solemnly, "empress dowager, I have something important to report!" In this extraordinary period, Wei gave him the privilege to meet at any time, but Wei never thought that Fang Zhan's refuge was just a smoke screen mu Qianxue intended to release.

Wei took a look at the East and said, "the new king has ascended the throne. If commander Fang has anything to say, just report it to the emperor."

Fang Zhan's eyes twitched slightly, and he knelt down toward the east at the next moment. "I see your majesty, your majesty is holy!"

"No gift." Dongfang Hui waved his hand at will and said, "what's the matter with Commander Fang?"

"I would like to inform your majesty that there are many unknown and highly skilled people in Jinling City. The infantry yamen is not their opponent at all. At present..." Fang Zhan bit his teeth and bowed his head: "the Danyang gate has fallen into the enemy's hands."

"What did you say?" Dongfang Hui asked in disbelief, with a layer of shock between his eyes. Danyang gate is the most important gate of Jinling City, which is located in the East. How can he not be surprised that it fell into other people's hands quietly.

After Fang Zhan repeated it again, Dongfang Hui finally decided that he didn't hear it wrong and said, "how many people are there?"

"It should be about thirty or forty people. Besides..." Fang Zhan glanced at him and hesitated to go on. Dongfang Hui was upset. He didn't know what he looked like. He urged: "what else, say it quickly!"

Fang Zhan said in a low voice: "someone else found the trace of Princess Mu among these people."

Dongfang Hui secretly clenched his hands and gritted his teeth: "Shenji camp?"

Knowing that he was asking about the origin of those people, Fang Zhan shook his head and said, "as far as I know, these people's martial arts skills are not the same as Shenji camp."
