Fish swimming around the world

Even if not, the prince will never trick him, just follow him and watch.

For a moment, Jiang Fan thought this was so interesting.

The incense burns slowly, and there is silence in the place. King Wei, King Xia, and King Chu have not yet written. This is indeed difficult. Even the strategists behind them were unable to make a comeback under the general trend.

Then the empress said: "Send it up."

It means that the Qin State has made a choice, and everyone else who wants to withdraw has no chance and can only continue to use their brains.

Jiang Fan's stomach was throbbing with joy. The four kings were sitting there with twitching eyebrows and difficulty in putting down their pens. This was a rare sight.

The time of burning an incense stick is long or short, and there will always be a time when it burns out. Finally, when the incense was about to burn out, King Wei was the first to write down his name.

Old woman Xia's always smiling and humble face turned unusually gloomy, and she finally wrote slowly as the ashes fell.

Xiang Chen, who had always been straightforward and decisive, actually scribbled angrily at the last moment when the incense went out, and finally slapped the pen on the table.

After all the votes were cast, Feng Chen came to the prince's side and watched the eunuch counting the votes with his own eyes.

The eunuch coughed and picked up the first card: "King Wei..."

Everyone glanced at Wei Zhaoxiong, who had thick eyebrows, and seemed to snort at the same time.

"Second vote, King Chu..."

Although Xiang Chen didn't look sideways, he also received several disdainful looks.

"Third vote, King Jin..."

Everyone frowned.

"The fourth vote, King Xia..."

The sneer was silent, and the harvest look in Old Woman Xia's eyes was no exception.

The two most critical votes are coming, and they basically hope that someone will get the two votes and the matter will be dropped.

As everyone held their breath and concentrated, the eunuch called out the name of the fifth vote - King Jin.

At this point, things obviously did not exceed the expectations of the counselors, but in this unsolvable situation, they could only wait quietly and hope for this last vote. However, Jiang Fan discovered that Zhang Yi, Bai Shigong, and Yu Qingcheng All showed a gloomy meaning.

The last vote that everyone was watching was finally made public, and the result plunged everyone into deathly silence.

——The King of Jin.

With three votes, King Jin was elected.

Jiang Fan also breathed a sigh of relief. Sima Ji did not live up to his expectations. This guy obviously understood the situation. He was the most likely and decided to vote for himself. He was not stupid enough to vote for Qin. If not, this time, Efforts are in vain.

Ji Zongyi smiled and nodded: "The results are out. I dare to ask the Feng Family Master, is this election fair?"

Feng Chen calmly uttered four words: "Fair, just."

Ji Zongyi nodded: "Then, on the certificate of credence later, would the Feng family master be willing to use the supervisory seal?"

Feng Chen snorted softly: "Why don't you dare?"

Ji Zongyi chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, in that case..."

He looked around at the heroes: "The result has been decided. The leader of the Five Nations Alliance is the King of Jin, Sima Ji!"

No one said anything, they were not happy, but they couldn't refute it. This must be what Taiyue might do in the future, and it was already the best choice.

Jiang Fan didn't even make a fuss. Chengdu was in trouble and there was no need to add insult to injury.

He was just paying attention to Sima Ji quietly.

This guy was still as calm as ever, his expression did not change at all, he stood up slowly and respectfully saluted the imperial court solemnly: "Jin, Sima Ji, I am very scared."

Ji Zongyi said with a smile: "The Kingdom of Jin is rich and prosperous, with a prosperous civil society. The King of Jin is young and promising. It is easier for rising stars to have new ideas and new insights to break down old barriers. He is indeed the best candidate. Congratulations to the King. When the King returns to the imperial court, he will Jun's decree is announced to the world."

Sima Ji saluted again: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Then he turned around and bowed to each of the four countries: "Thank you, everyone."

The kings of Chu and Wei both had their faces as dark as water, and they didn't even say anything in return. On the contrary, Old Woman Xia actually smiled and returned the courtesy calmly, but she didn't say anything.

Only the empress, although she never returned the gift, said lightly: "What's yours is yours."

Sima Ji's eyes flashed and he didn't answer.

Ji Zongyi breathed a big sigh of relief and seemed to be more relaxed: "Okay, okay, today's Dianchi meeting is finally worth it. King Jin, the leader of the Five Kingdoms is not a trivial matter. From now on, we must do our best to repay the emperor's favor and secure the five countries. We must not slack off." ”

Sima Ji immediately said: "Ji is so virtuous and capable. Since he is so loved, he should work conscientiously and live up to everyone's expectations."

At this point, the leader of the alliance has been decided, and Sima Ji did not refuse at all.

Not only because he knew he couldn't refuse, but he also never wanted to. This is the best opportunity for Jin to rise again, and he needs it so much.

Jiang Fan secretly sighed, he is a sensible person.

And Jiang Fan understood better that from now on, Sima Ji would definitely be bound to the prince, at least for a long period of time. So, during this period, if there is a cheap dad operating, I will definitely make a huge profit.

But the next evolution still exceeded Jiang Fan's expectations.

Seeing that the matter was settled, the prince suddenly said slowly: "The five nations of Dianchi are united in one heart and one mind, and elected leaders in a fair and just way. The grand event has been settled, but the lonely king has one more thing to do. It is a major matter for our imperial court. I would like to take this rare opportunity." published to the public.”

Jiang Fan was stunned, is this coming? Does he not intend to let people rest at all? Does he really have a next step, or does he just want to throw out other things to interrupt the Five Kingdoms' entanglement on this matter?

Sure enough, the other four kings also showed solemn expressions. They all knew that since Ji Zongyi came out of the mountain, he acted in a high-profile manner and had vicious methods. He caused uproar with just a favor. He still had something to do, and he wanted to announce it on this occasion. , it’s not easy to think about.

Ji Zongyi stood up straight, his face gloomy, and he looked distressed.

"Not long ago, a great treason occurred. The dragon vein of our great Zhou Dynasty was stolen by thieves..."

Most of the people present were not clean, but they couldn't help but respond. Many people were extremely shocked, and one of them was really shocked, that is, Bai Shigong.

"How could this happen? How could such a thing happen?"

The prince nodded with a very sad face, "Not only did it happen, but the thief also stole the national artifact, the Whip, which is simply outrageous to both humans and gods!"

Bai Shigong was extremely shocked: "Have you found the thief?"

The prince sighed and shook his head: "The thief fled, but fortunately, there are talented people in our Great Zhou Dynasty who took action... Forget it, the details of this matter will be discussed in detail another day."

He suddenly said seriously: "Please give the imperial edict."

Imperial edict?

Everyone was stunned. Emperor Ping was still in seclusion. Where did the imperial edict come from?

At this time, the feminine eunuch came forward with a roll of bright yellow imperial edict.

Ji Zongyi ignored the disrespectful behavior of the five kings who didn't even stand up, and said in a clear voice: "Announce."

The eunuch immediately unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud.

"The Emperor of Heaven and Mandate of Heaven, decrees: The prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty is long, and it has been protected by the ancestors. The Prime Minister Jiang Boyue is respected by the Great Zhou Dynasty. He holds the divine whip and beats the tyrants and slanderous ministers. He is the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the 17th year of Taizu Li, the Prime Minister was ordered to build the dragon vein to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors' shelter, and the sky of the country..."

Jiang Fan was secretly shocked. Ji Zongyi actually brought up the matter of the Prime Minister and the dragon vein on this occasion. What exactly is he going to do?
