1927 The monkeys are also present
The so-called prince is a position in the Qing clan, theoretically the successor of the next patriarch. During the period of his tenure, if the current patriarch suddenly dies, dies, dies or voluntarily retires, then the current patriarch can "ascend the throne" and become the new patriarch.
You may ask, if this pattern is the case, wouldn’t the prince hope that the clan leader can die sooner? Yes, that’s it. Both the clan leader and the prince live in tension all the time, one is afraid of being murdered, and the other is afraid of being deposed, guarding against each other and dependent on each other, which is exactly the same as the plot in a palace drama.
It is said that the reason why the founder of the Qing clan established this rule was because he saw the inspiration after the "Nine Dragons Fight for the Throne", and the reason why the Han people were unable to recover their country was because they lacked the bloodiness of the Manchu Tartars, so they decided to follow suit.
A group of poisonous insects nest together, and the last one that comes out is the Gu King; so the prince must be the dragon among people.
Tian Zheng is a dragon among humans.
Tian Zheng is not young anymore. When Zhao Chunfeng joined the Qing clan at the same time as Zhao Chunfeng, Zhao Chunfeng later became the patriarch, and he was still the leader of the fragrant hall. The most embarrassing thing in the world is that the old friend of the past became his immediate boss, and he used to be armed and shoulder to shoulder, calling him brother, I rubbed my back when you take a bath, and I shit you and gave me paper. In a blink of an eye, I have to bow to you and accept your assignment and order.
Do you think it's embarrassing?
Tian Zheng was very embarrassed, but he had always handled it well, and he protected Zhao Chunfeng in front of others and behind him, saying that he only admired Zhao Chunfeng in this life, and he didn't seem to be dissatisfied at all. Moreover, Tian Zheng had extraordinary qualifications and had a high seniority in the clan. He also had a large group of supporters, so he had been the crown prince for three consecutive terms; three terms are nine years, how many more years will he have in his life?
But as long as Zhao Chunfeng does not die for one day or retreats for one day, Tian Zheng can only be the crown prince. As he gets older, he might even die in front of Zhao Chunfeng, which makes Tian Zheng even more embarrassed. Someone even gave him a nickname called the old prince in private.
The word "old" is full of ridicule and sarcasm.
But no matter how embarrassed he is, at least he has hope. Even if he has never been a patriarch in his life, Zeng is only one step away from the patriarch, and he is still one step above ten thousand people. Zhao Chunfeng is also quite satisfied. But this satisfaction and hope are all broken after Huang Jie's arrival.
Zhao Chunfeng was so partial to Huang Jie, so partial that everyone could see that he was partial. Zhao Chunfeng always brought Huang Jie by his side, almost teaching him to familiarize himself with the affairs of the clan. As long as he had made meritorious, he would let Huang Jie do it. He also praised Huang Jie in front of others and behind others, and praised him more than once for his young talent and his natural appearance as an emperor.
The young talent is not bad, many people can claim this title, and Huang Jie is indeed a young talent, and everyone has seen his terrifying strength; but the "naturally born emperor" is a bit interesting. Zhao Chunfeng's meaning is obviously to train Huang Jie as his successor.
As Huang Jie's status in the clan became higher and higher prestige, as Tian Zheng's ears became more and more noisy, he finally realized a little crisis; Tian Zheng could not be the patriarch for his whole life. But the position of "Crown Prince" was something he had to care about.
Although the old prince is old, he is also the prince. The reason why he cannot be the patriarch is because he is loyal; but if he does not become the crown prince, it makes him feel very uncomfortable. It would be fine if the patriarch cannot be the crown prince. Now even the position of the crown prince will be taken away?
Intentionally or unintentionally, Tian Zheng began to secretly trip Huang Jie.
There were several times, because of Tian Zheng's trip, Huang Jie failed in his mission, and his prestige was a little reduced, but due to the lack of evidence, Huang Jie could only swallow the bitterness. Huang Jie did not tell Zhao Chunfeng about this. First, he did not want to make a mistake and complained to Zhao Chunfeng, which seemed to be too incompetent; second, Huang Jie looked down on Tian Zheng, and did not think that he was qualified to be his opponent.
The three-year period is here again, and the Qing tribe will select a new crown prince here tonight; in previous years, Tian Zheng has overwhelmed all the heroes, but Huang Jie has emerged in a few years. Although Huang Jie has not been in the clan for a long time, because of his outstanding ability and patriarch's support, he is also a popular candidate for the position of crown prince.
What's more, who can get into the senior management of the Qing clan, who is not an old vixen who is good at observing words and expressions? They can see that Zhao Chunfeng intends to praise Huang Jie, and of course he has to follow Zhao Chunfeng's intention, so Tian Zheng is in great danger this year.
According to Huang Jie, Tian Zheng started to move around several days in advance, giving money to the hall masters, elders, senior officials, and middle officials who have the right to vote, hoping to get their precious votes to maintain his position as prince.
"What about you?" I asked Huang Jie.
With Huang Jie's personality, of course it is impossible to do such mundane things; even when I needed to deal with officials in China, I was the one who did it. But I don't believe that Huang Jie did nothing, and he was not the one who was willing to die.
"I only said one thing to them." Huang Jie said: "If you don't vote for me, if I become the patriarch in the future, I will definitely attack you."
I was speechless, it was indeed Huang Jie's style.
"It's almost done. Let's go." Huang Jie put down the disguise tool in his hand.
I stood up and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror. I was no longer me in the mirror, but another cold guy who was extremely difficult to mess with at first sight. When a monkey first showed disguise, Huang Jie followed him for a long time. Huang Jie's pursuit of knowledge was extremely vigorous, like a huge sponge, absorbing things that were beneficial to him all the time. Therefore, although Huang Jie did not often use disguise, his level was quite clever.
I followed Huang Jie out the door.
This five-star hotel is a secret place for the Qing tribe. It is really not easy for the Colonel to find out. The conference room is on the top floor. When Huang Jie led me to come, it was already crowded with people. Everyone was standing and chatting, and the food was filled with food. It didn't look like a meeting, but it seemed like they were going to have a party.
There are quite a lot of people, and roughly look at it, there are more than 100. In addition to setting up twelve masters of the Xiangtang Hall, there are many elders, middle-level and leaders below. After all, it is a gang of ten thousand people, so the leaders must not be missing. To choose the prince, you must choose one that everyone is convinced.
Although Huang Jie has not been in the gang for a long time, his reputation is at its peak. Everyone knows that he is Zhao Chunfeng's godson, and he is extraordinary in the Chinese power. He is a bit similar to Qianxia's position in the Eastern power, of course Huang Jie is stronger.
As soon as Huang Jie arrived, many people gathered around to say hello to him. Huang Jie casually socialized with them, and then walked aside to eat. I also ate with him. He said that if the monkey was here, he would probably have eaten up here.
Huang Jie snorted and said, "How could he miss such an opportunity?"
I was surprised and said, what do you mean? Are you saying that the monkey is here too?
Huang Jie ate without changing his face and said yes. He was reincarnated with a starving ghost, maybe where would he eat hard.
Although Huang Jie said that, I knew that even if the monkey came here, it was definitely not for eating; or, it was not all for eating, but also for watching Huang Jie ascend to the position of prince with his own eyes. When I thought that the monkey was also there, I was so angry that I was so angry. This bastard had already known why Huang Jie called Zhao Chunfeng a father, but he didn't tell me that I had to ask him to argue and then kick him before I could vent my anger.
So I left Huang Jie and looked for monkeys everywhere.
This conference room is quite large, almost a thousand square meters. In addition to the leadership of the Qing tribe, there are also various staff members, such as those who change snacks, clean, maintain order, and take care of safety, which makes them even more crowded.
I searched for a while and finally found the monkey. The monkey was wearing a suit and tie, looking like a man wearing a tie. Sure enough, she was huddling in a corner and eating very well. She had a lobster in her left hand and a glass of red wine in her right hand, and a chicken leg in her mouth. She kept stuffing cakes into her pockets, which was no different from Sun Wukong at the Peach Banquet.
Of course, the monkey was a little dissatisfied, but looking at his posture, I recognized him at a glance.
I was puzzled. How could this be the best generation of blacks?
Everyone around was chatting and laughing. Even if they were eating, they were eating gracefully. Only the monkey was sweeping the clouds. Fortunately, no one noticed him. It was because no one noticed him that he was even more unscrupulous. He stuffed a bottle of red wine into his crotch, a complete chicken, two big lobsters, three small cakes, and four green mangoes while he was not paying attention. I walked over and patted him on his shoulder, and said in a calm voice, what are you doing!
The monkey immediately turned around, bowed and bowed, saying sorry, "I'm sorry, my father at home is seriously ill and so hungry." So I wanted to steal some food and take it back."
Seeing me laughing, the monkey raised his head and scolded me, saying Zuo Fei, don’t make such jokes in the future, I’m in a bad mood!
Just like I can recognize a monkey at a glance, of course the monkey can recognize me at a glance. I say less nonsense, when did you come? The monkey was drooling and said that when the first fruit plate was placed here, he was already there, and then he asked me where Huang Jie was.
I pointed to a certain direction and the monkey looked over and said, "Oh, that kid is quite calm, it seems to be confident. By the way, when are you going to attack Tian Zheng?"
I said it is difficult to start now and it is easy to fall into the siege of the Qing clan. Moreover, Tian Zheng is Huang Jie's competitor. Now that killing Tian Zheng is likely to cause trouble to Huang Jie.
The monkey said "yo" and said it's right, Zuo Fei, he can actually consider so many things. After coming to Dongyang, your IQ has improved by leaps and bounds!
I'll talk nonsense. Since you have known for a long time why Huang Jie calls Zhao Chunfeng a father, why didn't you tell me?
Speaking of this, the monkey became serious and said to Zuo Fei. Speaking of this, I will talk about you. There is no secret in this world that you know for free. How can you do it without paying a little price? I waited for you to give a gift for a long time, but you didn't have any eyesight at all. It's really embarrassing to you the second generation.
I was about to scold him, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind me: "Who are you two? Why have I never seen you before?"
When I heard this sound, the monkey and I were suddenly a little overwhelmed.
