Chapter 73 Should I choose to establish a new king?
Seeing that she didn't move, Wen Wenming Xin had to turn to the others and persuaded her earnestly: "And Huai Chu, you worked so hard to become the chief of Dali Temple, and you only wanted to find out the truth and support justice, and then you gave up like that? Mr. Lu, you are so conscientious. this After so many years, you have been deeply loved by the people and respected by all the officials. How can you be willing to accept your fate just like this? Yuan Si, you are not yet fourteen years old and you still have such a long way to go in life? What?”
Several people exchanged glances but said nothing. It was Ji Yutang who spoke up: "Master Wen, you have confused me. You and Master Cui have made various explicit hints from the beginning that our fate is not long, and that our lives are being pinched by the officials. With all kinds of examples and reasoning, we are told that there is no way out. When we are really desperate, why do we start to think of ways to stimulate our fighting spirit? Is this fun? ”
Wenming Xin scratched his head and looked at Cui Xin again: "This... I can explain it."
"Then you explain to us. If you have the intention of teasing us for fun, then I don't think I need to recognize you as a friend anymore. Mr. Wen, I hope you and Mr. Cui can show your sincerity and don't do anything to me. We have something to hide." Ji Yutang made a pun.
Wenming Xin was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his head in a frantic manner: "Ms. Ji, I feel horrified by what you said. Mr. Cui and I have nothing to hide. We both gave away all the old money of the official family." You saw it.”
Ji Yutang sneered: "Since there is no sincerity, there is no need to talk anymore. The few of us have reached an agreement, whether we want to kill or behead, it is up to you. Everyone, right?"
Ji Yutang turned to look at the others, and they all nodded heavily.
Wenming was in a hurry. He finally participated in a core operation, but he was about to die before it even started.
After thinking about it again and again, Wenming Xin finally made up his mind: "Okay, okay, you win, I will make it clear to you."
Cui Xin sighed at the right time and was pushed away by Wenming Xin: "Go, go, you know how to instruct me to work. When I ask you for help, you act helpless. It's annoying."

Although Lu Zheng couldn't understand what the current scene was like, he calmed down when he saw that Ji Yutang, a little girl, was as motionless as a mountain. Xie Huaichu and Yuan Si naturally followed Ji Yutang's lead and believed whatever Ji Yutang said unconditionally.
"Master Wen, don't you pretend anymore?" Ji Yutang turned sideways and said to Xie Huaichu, "Master Xie, watch the show carefully. Your good colleague Master Wen is hiding a lot."
Xie Huaichu smiled bitterly: "I can already guess one or two points."
Wenming Xin apologized to Xie Huaichu with some embarrassment: "I have no choice but to do this."
Xie Huaichu didn't answer, but said: "Master Wen, please answer our questions quickly. My fever has just subsided, and I still want to see a doctor."
Wenming Xin was discouraged and said: "Let me state in advance that Mr. Cui and I have no intention of harming you, and everything Mr. Cui said just now is true. The official family wants an elixir of immortality that they don't know whether it is true or not. I really want to silence myself.”
Xie Huaichu's fingers trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to cover the anger in his eyes.
Wenming Xin scanned the whole week and felt relieved when he saw that no one was out of control: "Master Cui and I said these irritating words to you, but we actually wanted you to come up with a way out on your own. Unfortunately, Lady Ji saw through it and transferred the pressure to me. Here, force me to speak.”
Ji Yutang said: "What else? You have prepared a way out, so just say it and save us the trouble of thinking."
Wenming Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Ji Yutang was smarter than he expected. It seemed that she had really grasped the overall situation. In doing so, she wanted to teach him a lesson and warn him not to play tricks on them. Originally, it was his own fault. Wenming Xin knew that he should not hide it from his friends. He had no reason to defend himself and accepted it honestly.
He composed himself and continued: "The way to survive is to establish a new king!"
The expressions of Ji Yutang and Xie Huaichu were still calm and there was no change. Lu Zheng was so frightened that he lost his soul. He trembled and asked, "Create a new king? Are you kidding me?"
Lu Zheng hurriedly ran out to see if there was anyone near the hall. After finding that no one was around, he returned to his original position with a heart in his heart: "This joke is not funny at all. Madam Ji, Mr. Xiao Xie, don't you think so?" ?”
Ji Yutang's face was solemn, and she said to Lu Zheng: "Master Lu, you must learn to accept reality."
Lu Zheng slumped down on the chair as if all his strength had been drained from his body, muttering to himself: "It's over, I have become a sinner. In order to survive, I have to ignore the reputation of the Lu family for generations."
Xie Huaichu patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Relax, the situation has not worsened to this point yet, just take a precaution in advance. If the officials really insist on going their own way and put the people in dire straits, it would be better to establish a new king." The general trend is that King Li He of Qi is kind and honest. If he is chosen as the new king, it will not harm Daxia."
Lu Zheng was confused: "Xiao Xie, how did you accept this treasonous proposal so quickly?"
Xie Huaichu shrugged: "My life is almost gone, so naturally I will do whatever I can to save my life. Life is precious, and at this time, I think it is a good deal to give up a fatuous emperor and establish a wise king."

Lu Zheng looked at his mouth opening and closing in confusion, still unable to accept it. He looked at Yuan Si: "Boy, what do you think after hearing these words?"
Yuan Si was suddenly called by name, and he trembled with fright. He faced Lu Zheng and honestly expressed his inner thoughts: "Master Lu, I am just a small soldier. I can't compare with you big people who have lofty ambitions and ambitions." You are not allowed to care about government affairs. You know, no matter who is the emperor, we ordinary people will feel the happiest if we can have enough to eat and drink, so we don’t care who the emperor is, and it is not our turn to comment. "< br>
Lu Zheng was silent. He admitted that Yuan Si was right, and the words bloomed in his mind like a firework. Yes, as long as there is peace and prosperity, who can be the emperor?
Seeing that they were thinking clearly, Wenming Xin was very happy: "That's great. Mr. Cui and I also think that as long as the people can live a good life. It seems that we have the same idea..."
Ji Yutang interrupted him: "We did not promise to support the new king with you. Now that the official family is strong and healthy, your behavior is trying to usurp the throne, so don't take us with you."
Wenming Xin was about to cry: "You have said so much with all your heart and soul, but you tell me that you have no intention of joining us?"
"Yes." Ji Yutang picked his ears, "Don't worry about it, tell me who you have chosen, King Qi?"
Wenming Xin looked at Cui Xin: "Master Cui, do you want to continue?"
Cui Xin nodded: "Let me tell you, the one we chose is not King Qi, nor the other princes."
"Who is that? Is it some minister who wants to usurp the throne?" Ji Yutang was slightly surprised.
"No, no, let's put it another way, why are we obsessed with men becoming emperors?" Wenming Xin reminded.
Ji Yutang was really surprised: "Queen?"
