On the issue of road construction and Shuntong Chamber of Commerce's contracted sales, after Joshua agreed to implement it, other cities did not object.

To oppose it is to get along with money.

Now all the city lords have benefited, and they are all eagerly waiting for Shangjiang City and Jiading City to contribute money and efforts to take everyone to a well-off life. The seven vice-cities have never been intimate with Shangjiang City like this, so Da Liang struck while the iron was hot and said the real purpose of convening the imperial meeting this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must already know about the Battle of Eternal Night in the Land of the Dead.

Cloudsdale has won a complete victory, the sword of the good camp has been slashed at the evil camp, and a full-scale war will definitely break out in a short time.

As the rulers of the Shangjiang city-state, we have an obligation to take our subjects through this catastrophe.

And in the midst of war, we need a leader, a person who unites us. But King Howard, who is most qualified to lead us, cannot stand here.

Therefore, I think it is time for Shangjiang to elect a new king......"

Before Da Liang could finish his words, Abigail, who felt betrayed, stood up angrily, thinking that as a Terran camp, she could get more benefits from this economic support, but someone wanted to usurp the throne she already held in her hands.

"Count Daliang, please pay attention to your words. My child is also Howard's child, who is the rightful and sole heir to the throne. The king does not need to be elected, and anyone who peeps into the throne is an enemy of Shangjiang and will be crusaded against by everyone! ”

Da Liang also stood up, walked to the first place, and stood behind the vacant throne: "Lord Marquis Abigail, the first thing I want to correct is ...... You and King Howard are not legally married, so there is no legitimacy for your child, and his status as heir to the throne is disputed. ”

Abigail said angrily: "My child is of royal blood, and there is no dispute about his succession to the throne, which Bartlett can confirm......

Bartlett!

Where is Bartlett? Where are the angels loyal to the royal family! ”

At this time, the ministers who attended the Imperial Council found out that Bartlett did not come. Not only did Bartlett not come, but the angels under him also did not come, and the angel honor guards standing around the conference room were all angels subordinate to the navy.

Looking at Joyce, who had a serious face, and Stanley, who couldn't see his expression.

The adults finally knew what the navy and Jiading City were gathering troops for.

The Angel Legion has withdrawn from the battle for the throne, and the navy and Jiading City have threatened the city lords through economic buy-offs and military threats, and then the next thing Earl Daliang has to do is to deny the legitimacy of Abigail's child in the womb to inherit the throne.

And there is really a question of the legitimacy of Abigail's children's inheritance.

It's even a little disgraceful.

Without seeing Bartlet, Abigail realized that the Imperial Council was a trap for him from beginning to end.

Da Liang said at this time: "Lord Marquis Abigail, I admit that the child in your womb is the child of King Howard, but he is an illegitimate child. He's certainly closer to this throne than we are, but definitely not the closest one.

Lord Joyce was the crown princess appointed by the late king, and completed the engagement ceremony with King William, although King William has died, but their engagement is still there. As King William's fiancée and the prospective queen of Shangjiang City, Lord Joyce should be a little closer to the throne than your children.

Ladies and gentlemen......"

Da Liang took out the crown and placed it on the throne, and continued: "I have been authorized by King Howard to hand over the crown to someone who can lead Shangjiang through the crisis.

Mistress Joyce has the right to inherit the throne, and she has proven herself to lead the city.

When war is about to break out, are you willing to leave your fate in the hands of Master Joyce, or to an unborn child?

Choose wisely. ”

"I'm against it!" Abigail slapped the table and shouted, "Joyce, you mean woman, you are not qualified to inherit the throne. Da Liang, I married my daughter to you, and I trusted you and valued you so much, you betrayed me. Ladies and gentlemen, do not be deceived by these two adulterous men and women, if you let Joyce inherit the throne. The city will fall into the hands of Da Liang! ”

"Enough, Abigail!" Joyce stood up: "Don't slander the reputation of the two nobles casually, that will damage your identity. Although the Earl of Daliang is the fiancée of King William, to increase my competitiveness for the throne. But my engagement to William has always been painful for me.

Therefore, I invite you to give a witness.

I declare that from this moment on, I am engaged in marriage with King William, and I no longer have any relationship with the royal family.

But as the nobleman of this city, I have the responsibility and ability to protect it, and now I need to be king, then I will be king.

If peace can replace the kingship, I hope that we will be able to reach an agreement at this meeting.

If war is needed to replace the king, then I will declare war to the people who oppose me. ”

Joyce responded to the throne, and his might was revealed.

There was silence in the room, and even Abigail was silent.

Everyone looked at Joyce, at the big light, at the crown that shone brightly on the throne.

At this time, Da Liang secretly kicked Marquis Stanley, who was sitting next to the throne.

Marquis Stanley immediately reacted: "Jiading City supports Joyce as our new king, my army and my money are ready, which one you want depends on your choice." ”

+1

Immediately afterwards, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Marquis Wilson, said: "I support Joyce as our new king, I know everything she has done for Shangjiang, and there is no better person than her." ”

+2

The Marquis Wilson took a stand, and the other Terran ministers also supported Joyce.

+3、+4、+5……

The city lords looked at Joshua, and if anyone in this room could see through what was hidden inside, it would be Joshua. Joshua's choice was also the most beneficial for the vice-cities.

The most beneficial thing for the vice city is definitely to support Abigail's children. Abigail has a strong desire for power, her child is the king, she will definitely hold all the power in her own hands, and Abigail has no ability to manage the Shangjiang city-state well.

At that time, Shangjiang would definitely return to chaos.

Joshua was a jinn, and he had time to wait for his next chance to become king.

However, Joyce's general trend of becoming the king has been achieved, even if he has brought many city lords to oppose here, when the war starts, Da Liang only needs to send people to ask from city to city......

"Are you still building your road? Is the hoarded goods still sold? ”

It is estimated that half of the cities will defect.

The remaining cities do not have the strength to fight with Shangjiang City and Jiading City.

Alas......

He is born and he is bright.
