71 A new king ascended the throne
!!
Zhao Xingdou's words, like a bombshell, suddenly exploded in the crowd, catching everyone off guard, among which the most severely hit were naturally Prince Shang Zhiwu, who was just stern and fierce, and Prince Shang Feng, who was nervous.
It's just that at this time, the mood of the two of them has completely changed one by one, and he was worried before, but now it is like a pie suddenly falling from the sky, and no matter how deep the city is, he can't hide the excitement and joy in his heart.
Look at the prince Shang Zhiwu, who was originally arrogant and thought that he had received strong reinforcements, but at this time, he was lost and despaired, looking at Zhao Xingdou and the others in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
"Captain Zhao, is this, this true?" Even Prince Shang Hong, who was standing on the high platform, was a little unable to speak with emotion, and looked at Zhao Xingdou, Wu Shu and the others, wanting to confirm it again.
"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase, although we are not gentlemen in Hongtang, but if we say it, it can't be faked! As long as the Ryukyu Kingdom always regards our Hongtang as an ally and is willing to keep the promises made before, then I, Hongtang, will never interfere in the affairs of your own country! Zhao Xingdou pointed with intent, and his eyes secretly glanced at Prince Shangfeng.
"That's natural, Brother Hongtang's morality, our people in the Ryukyu Kingdom will not do anything to go back on their word, although the first king has passed away, but the signed agreement is still there, and when the new king takes office, he will not agree to it if he wants to repent, and we who are courtiers will not agree!" Prince Shang Hong is also overjoyed, it is rare to meet a team like Hong Tang who will also be on the morality of the rivers and lakes and the spirit of contract, he feels repentant for his behavior of living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and he also made a promise to Zhao Xingdou with a heart of return.
Indeed, if this kind of thing were in the hands of a mature and ambitious politician, I am afraid that Hongtang would not have let go of the weak country of the Ryukyu Kingdom so easily.
However, the Ryukyuan people are so lucky, Hongtang Zhao Xingdou and Fifty-Nine They are so upright, while strictly following Li Tianyang's instructions, they were moved by Prince Shangfeng's undominant price.
"No, it can't be, it must be Shang Feng who betrayed the many interests of our Ryukyu Kingdom behind his back to be able to impress the people of Hongtang! Shang Feng, you say, what kind of conditions did you give to impress the people of Hong Tang? Lost his mind, Shang Zhiwu roared in the hall, grabbed Shang Feng's hand, pointed at Zhao Xingdou and yelled.
"Presumptuous, roaring in front of the palace above the palace, what kind of system!" Prince Shang Hong has long been unable to stand Shang Zhiwu, a loser, before Shang Zhiwu was wanton in the court, or because of the powerful Hong Tang face, he did not dare to act rashly, now that Hong Tang has shown the flag, and does not support Shang Zhiwu as everyone thinks, then how can Shang Hong be polite to this prince now: "Come on, drag Prince Shang Zhiwu down, let him go home and reflect!" ”
Immediately, several heavily armed imperial guards took Prince Shang Zhiwu, who had lost his sense of proportion and made a lot of noise, out, until he could still hear his roar far away: "Shang Feng betrayed the country, the crime is extremely evil, Hongtang wolf ambition, you will regret it sooner or later!" ”
Shang Zhiwu probably thought in his heart that the reason why Shang Feng was able to get Hong Tang's support was that he was more willing to spend money than himself, otherwise Hong Tang would not have given up on himself at this moment and chose Shang Feng as an opponent.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that not everyone was as shameless as him, selling the interests of half of the kingdom for the sake of a throne; And the people of Hongtang are not people who see money and only pursue interests without Edo morality.
"Alright, it's not too early, let's start summoning now!" Without Shang Zhiwu's-stirring stick, and at the same time Hong Tang expressed his attitude, no one in the Ryukyu royal court would stand up and interrupt Prince Shanghong's words without knowing and knowing.
Even this fashion Hong muttered in his heart because of Shang Zhiwu's shout, whether Prince Shang Feng had any deal with Hong Tang behind the scenes, but when it was difficult to ride a tiger, he could only signal the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time on the side, and read it out loud in the court with his sharp and clear voice: "Say: .................."
An edict is not long, just a few dozen lines of words only took a cup of tea to read out, and with the completion of the edict, legally speaking, Prince Shangfeng even became the new king of the Ryukyus, and after the subsequent enthronement ceremony is completed, then he can officially fulfill his rights and obligations as a king!
This is the end of the most important thing in the court, and the next thing is to prepare for his enthronement ceremony for the new past that has just settled, but today it seems impossible. As a country dedicated to learning from the Ming Dynasty, although the Ryukyus are weak, their king's enthronement ceremony is also enough to learn the civilized etiquette of China, although it can't be done completely, but it is not something that can be solved so-so.
After getting out of the court, Zhao Xingdou and Wu Daofu went back to their respective homes and parted ways, today's arrival was Wu Daofu's insistent request, otherwise Zhao Xingdou and they would not be willing to come out and show their faces!
In their eyes, as long as they maintained their current attitude of detachment, they were already making their intentions clear to Prince Shangfeng. It's just that Wu Daofu feels that no matter what, since Prince Shangfeng has offered generous conditions, then no matter what the purpose of their Hongtang people, they should also show their attitude on formal occasions, so as to show their Hongtang's attitude, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Prince Shangfeng.
As for the misunderstanding of Prince Shang Zhiwu because of this, although this was not Wu Daofu's original intention, but in their opinion, it can be regarded as a cruel lesson for this kind of madman who is mad for the throne!
Three days later, after a series of preparations, the new king of the Ryukyus, King Shangfeng, ascended the throne, and as the representative of Hongtang, Zhao Xingdou and they can be regarded as witnessing this historic moment! At the same time, it also made Zhao Xingdou and the other buns see for the first time how extravagant the so-called princes and nobles are, and what red tape the succession to the throne is!
The new official took office three times, and the new king took office naturally without such a thing, for a kingdom that had been abolished for nearly half a month, it would take a lot of perseverance and energy to re-take care of this mess.
As for what was promised to Hong Tang and Wu Daofu before, I'm afraid it will take a long time before it can be realized!
