"Kill Lu Gou!"
"Kill Lu Gou!"
As the news of the Barbarian King's death spread more and more widely, more people knew this false truth. Du Ruofu spread rumors and directly put the blame on Lu Yun.
Lu Yun was also very aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. For the past two days, the entire Sun City was in a state of panic, and no one could enter or exit the city gate.
But the Sun Guards searched for such a long time and still couldn't find Lu Yun.
Some of them even felt that Lu Yun had escaped from Sun City.
At the same time, in front of the Barbarian King's coffin, Du Ruofu was in control of the power, and everyone was respectful to him.
This day, in front of the emperor's coffin.
Du Ruofu, with a white bandage on his head, spoke to everyone present.
"My lords, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day."
"Your Majesty's sudden passing has had a significant impact on our Barbarian Nation, as we had no prior preparation.
Therefore, the candidate for the new Barbarian King has never appeared."
"War is imminent. If we don't elect a new Barbarian King, our Barbarian Nation will surely be invaded by the Great Zhou."
"Do you have any other opinions?"
The people present looked around in amazement. At this moment, General Helan Meng stepped forward and said solemnly, "I believe the Third Prince is capable of this important task."
"The Third Prince has always been a role model among the other princes, and he is very impressive in both knowledge and martial arts."
"The Third Prince is also quite respected in the military camp. I believe that if he becomes the new Barbarian King, he will definitely be able to lead our Barbarian Nation to a higher level."
“…”
At this time, the leaders of several major tribes also began to speak.
Murray from the Stone Tribe, Mu Cang's father, stepped forward and said.
"I also think the Third Prince is the most suitable candidate."
"Indeed, the Third Prince has always been favored by His Majesty. Now that he has become the Barbarian King, it is a matter of course."
Following the orders from the various tribes, these generals had nothing to say.
After all, the general has already said that he wants to nominate the third prince, so it doesn’t matter what other people’s opinions are.
Immediately afterwards, the civil servants led by Du Ruofu were no less enthusiastic and directly stated that they wanted to nominate the third prince. Most of the people in the court believed that the third prince could become the new Barbarian King.
At this time, many princes who were carrying the coffin in front of them had their eyes wide open in disbelief. They had never expected that the third prince would be the candidate chosen by the Prime Minister.
The eldest prince and other princes all looked confused.
After all, they had never thought about these things before, especially the eldest prince. Logically speaking, as the eldest son, he is fully qualified for the position of the Barbarian King according to the system of primogeniture.
As for selecting talented people to become the new Barbarian King, he would also be recognized by many people.
My father had always been very kind to him and had always trained him as the new Barbarian King.
Can……
At this moment, the third prince stood up with a sad face, but his eyes revealed joy.
It is better to follow the Prime Minister. He didn't expect that he would become the new Barbarian King. Although he also wondered why his father suddenly passed away.
This would have been absolutely impossible in the past!
"Thank you all for your kindness, ministers. I... haven't thought about this yet, but the Prime Minister is right. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. We must finalize this matter."
"In that case..."
However, the eldest prince stopped pretending and stood up and questioned angrily.
"Third brother! When will it be your turn to take the position of Barbarian King?"
"I, the eldest brother, haven't said anything yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other princes stood up and angrily questioned the third prince.
The Third Prince, Bai Longde, appeared quite calm. "This is the result of a joint discussion among the ministers. What does it have to do with me?"
"Brother, I know you want to be the Barbarian King, but now is not the time to fight. If you are not convinced, you can ask the tribal leaders and ministers."
The eldest prince snorted, "Anyway, I don't accept it!"
Just as they were about to argue, Du Ruofu stepped forward and said, "First Prince, I know this may be unfair to you. We are only temporarily letting the Third Prince take charge of the situation, and this old minister will assist him."
“We still need to discuss the Barbarian King’s position further, rather than just deciding it right now.
The eldest prince naturally has nothing to worry about. Besides, as a prince, you still need to be magnanimous."
The eldest prince felt indignant when he heard the words of the Prime Minister, wondering why the Prime Minister always sided with his younger brother.
Could it be that the two of them had already had some contact? Otherwise, it would be as if they had prepared for this occasion in advance. This is too wonderful.
Bai Xiaoxiao, who was listening to the conversation between the two people and the words just said by these ministers, instantly realized everything...
This was all expected. I really shouldn't have been so mean to Lu Yun that night.
What he said was all true. The Third Prince's own third brother was going to become the new Barbarian King, and it was Du Ruofu who recommended him.
How ridiculous!
She even began to suspect that it was Du Ruofu who did it for her father?
After all, putting such a huge blame on Lu Yun without any investigation is definitely not something a normal person would do.
This matter came to a temporary end, and the third prince did become the temporary Barbarian King, which was actually just a temporary emperor.
But Du Ruofu was helping him, so he basically secured the position of the Barbarian King and the third prince, and no one else could shake his position.
…
That night, Du Ruofu quietly found the third prince, Bai Longde.
"What do you think about today's incident?"
"The position of Barbarian King must be mine, no one can take it away."
"Since the eldest prince and his men are not convinced about this matter, I will make them never be convinced."
"What are you going to do?" Du Ruofu was stunned for a moment. He had already vaguely guessed some possibilities in his mind.
As expected, Bai Longde said directly, "Let's get rid of my eldest brother and the others. We'll take action tonight. After all, we can put all the blame on that Eunuch Lu."
"He killed so many people in our Barbarian Country. The people will definitely hate him very much. Then they will fight more bravely. This will also unite our people, right?"
Du Ruofu's mouth twitched. "Don't go too far. If you take on too many scapegoats, the people will become suspicious."
"It's okay. All the princes were killed, and my sister is the only one left as a woman. She can't do anything big."
