C96 Retreat

The Celestial Dragon Kingdom spent the past three days in the midst of these gossips and rumors. Feng Xiaoran was really satisfied during these three days. He spent all his time with his mother, and his days were quite leisurely.

Today was the day of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom's election for the new king, and the people outside had already divided into different camps to support their respective candidates. All of them were gathered at the entrance of the palace, and it was very lively.

All of the officials were present in the palace hall. The five princes were all dressed up. All of the officials lowered their heads to think. After all, it was unwise to stand up at this moment.

"The king has arrived!" A sharp voice sounded. Feng Zaitian, who was protected by his guards, walked to the throne and looked at the officials and the five princes. He paused when he saw Feng Xiaoran.

However, this slight pause made the other four princes' hearts skip a beat. They were afraid that they would not be able to win this time. After all, today's King's election, in a more pleasant way, was jointly elected by everyone. However, the truth was that every King's election was actually carried out according to the previous King's wishes. Thus, this King had a predetermined intention.

Now that Feng Zaitian looked at Feng Xiaoran with a profound gaze, these princes could not help but feel nervous. The people of the four major families behind them were also feeling uneasy in their hearts. They didn't know what to say. Initially, they thought that Feng Xiaoran's reputation would be tarnished by the pressure of the public for the past three days. But now, such a situation had occurred. They had no choice but to let their three days of hard work go to waste. At that time, I will also offend this new king, even though my own family and this king will not move. . . But relaxing your muscles and bones, looking for trouble. . . When that time comes, he would go around wearing his family's shoes. At that time, he would really have no place to cry.

"Head of the court!" The eunuch standing next to Feng Zaitian said with a high-pitched voice.

"Long live my king! Long live my king!" All of the officials knelt on the ground and bowed. The five princes in the front row also prostrated on the ground and said loudly.

"Alright, rise," Feng Zaitian looked at the officials and said calmly.

"Thank you, my king. " All of the officials and officials stood up. The five princes stood at the very front.

"I think everyone knows what day today is. If you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible. Don't wait for the Imperial Decree to be read out and you won't be in a hurry anymore," Feng Zaitian said.

All of the officials looked at each other. No one came forward to speak. No one wanted to be in the limelight. They might just bury themselves in it. Everyone was waiting for someone to step up.

"Royal Father. " Feng Xiaoran took a step forward and said. All of the officials were shocked when they heard this voice. It was a crucial moment for the prince to run for the throne, but this Fifth Prince dared to show off in front of everyone. If it wasn't because he was a fool, it was because he already knew the result. Now, it was no longer important to him, but of course. This Fifth Prince wasn't a fool. If he was, he wouldn't have governed the Skanda Province so well. And now, he stood out and spoke clearly because he already knew the result or some kind of hint.

"Oh! Prince, do you have anything to say?" Feng Zaitian looked at Feng Xiaoran and asked. He didn't even know what his son was thinking. He wanted to pass the throne to his youngest son according to the rules of his ancestors. To be honest, he had some grudges against Feng Xiaoran. There was always a voice in his heart that was against Feng Xiaoran being the king of Celestial Dragon Kingdom. However, due to the rules of his ancestors, he had no choice but to do so.

But three days ago, this son had actually said in front of him that he shouldn't be the king. He was actually willing to guard that piece of land he owned. This really shocked Feng Zaitian. He also didn't understand what his son was thinking. One should know that his four sons were eyeing the throne covetously. Others didn't know that he didn't know about them. After all, the ones who were waiting for him to die were the princes. However, he couldn't believe that his son had actually given up the throne.

However, the truth had already happened and it was irreversible. Later on, when he was thinking about it, he kept thinking about whether he had made a mistake or not, which made Feng Zaitian confused for a while. But now, things had already come to a conclusion. Furthermore, this son of his had added fuel to the fire, making it impossible for him not to do this now.

More importantly, the four major families had also gotten involved. It was already difficult for him to take a step forward. Looking at the situation of the four major families, he estimated that they would not let his son take the throne. Even if he did, it would be difficult to make things difficult for him. Feng Zaitian was also very distressed right now.

But he had to pass everything. Therefore, he had no choice but to choose one. Looking at the current state of the court, Feng Zaitian felt a chill run down his spine.

"Royal Father, I feel that I am still young. My experience and experience are not as good as my brothers. So I decided not to participate in this election and quit, "Feng Xiaoran said calmly. It was as if it was a very simple matter. However, the officials and the four princes were dumbfounded.

"Oh? Prince, you can't accumulate experience, but your achievements are obvious to all of us. This will not affect you," Feng Zaitian said.

"Royal Father, I am your son! In fact, there was another reason. He did not discipline his soldiers well. His soldiers rushed into the palace and injured the palace guards. His father did not punish them, but his son knew that the dignity of the Wang family was inviolable, so I am willing to withdraw from the election of the throne in exchange for the life of my subordinates, "Feng Xiaoran said emotionally.

"Prince, you have to think it through. Do you want the throne or the life of your subordinates? Do you want to think it through? Is the life of your subordinates that important? Is it more important than the position of the king?" Feng Zaitian said in a slightly angry tone.

"Royal Father, I am not experienced enough, and the throne of the king is very important. Of course I cannot be compared with my subordinates. I am only using this method to solve this problem, "Feng Xiaoran said, pretending to be frightened.

"Alright, since that is the case, I will not force you. But I still need to ask what the officials want. " Feng Zaitian sighed and continued.

"I think you all have heard what Prince means. I don't know if you all agree or oppose that. "

After the king said this, the ministers below started to move. One should know that it was already a predetermined candidate to withdraw from the throne. It was still unknown who would be the winner now, which meant that there was still a battle to be fought.

"Replying to my king, this old official believes that this matter needs to be decided by His Majesty. Replying to my king, this old official believes that this matter still needs to be decided by His Majesty. "

"This official reviews. " When the ministers below heard the leader's words, they all said loudly. Following that, a large group of people said.

At this moment, the other four princes also heaved a huge sigh of relief in their hearts, but then they became even more nervous. He had already thought that the throne belonged to someone else, so he had come to wait for a miracle to appear. There was no hope, but now there was hope. It was still so close to him, but he was not prepared for it. This was what they were feeling right now.

When Feng Xiaoran heard these voices, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. One should know that he had already thought of this outcome before coming here. Sure enough, the current situation proved what he was thinking.

"Royal Father, I'm not feeling well. I want to take my leave first," Feng Xiaoran pretended to be in pain as he spoke. When the officials heard this, they had other thoughts in their minds.

"Oh? Since the prince was not feeling well, Royal Father would not force him to stay. However, it's not too late for Wang Er to leave after listening to this decree. " Feng Zaitian said faintly.

"Let's begin. " Feng Zaitian glanced at Feng Xiaoran and said indifferently.

" By the will of the heavens, I, Wang Zhao, declare that today is the big day of Celestial Dragon Kingdom. My original intention was to follow the rules of my ancestors and judge the candidate of the king based on the standards of each prince. However, for the sake of Feng Xiaoran, due to other reasons, I withdrew from this election. I also feel that it is a pity, but since my son has decided. . . We can't force him, but as compensation. . . The Skanda Province is now under my son's name, Feng Xiaoran. The development of the Skanda Province is not under the control of the country. Everything will develop according to his intentions and achieve complete self-restraint. It will not be under the jurisdiction of the country or even the king. " All of the officials were shocked when they heard the decree. This order was not equivalent to the territory of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom, which was famous in Skanda Province. However, it was actually a small country.

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I will choose one of my four sons to be the successor of the Celestial Dragon Kingdom. I will now pass the throne of Celestial Dragon Kingdom to Eldest Prince and Feng Yuanye, and we will hold the boarding hall tomorrow. Speaking of which, the eunuch who established the throne closed the imperial edict in his hand. The officials below also knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live the king!
