Chapter 1023 The Grand Ceremony of Conferring Kings
At the same time, the Qin family.
The Qin family should have been in mourning after the death of Qin Rufeng, but now the Qin family is full of festive decorations.
It was originally scheduled to hold the inheritance ceremony for the new head of the Qin family at three o'clock in the afternoon, but before three o'clock, many people from the Qin family had already arrived.
They all came with generous gifts to congratulate Qin Dezheng.
Qin Dezheng, however, never showed up, and all the guests were received into the Qin family's banquet hall.
In a small attic, Qin De was sitting at the top, and below him were the leaders of his faction. Yang Chen and Qin Dayong were also sitting among them.
"Yang Chen, is the Qin family really going to take that step?"
Qin Dezheng looked at Yang Chen and asked solemnly.
Yang Chen nodded: "My coming to the Qin family will inevitably be exposed. It will be easy for the royal family alliance to find out my relationship with the Qin family."
"And the Cao royal family is a member of the royal alliance. If you were King Cao, after I left, would you take action against the Qin family?"
After listening to Yang Chen's words, Qin Dezheng immediately realized that it was no longer a matter of whether the Qin family was willing or not, but whether the Cao royal family was willing to let the Qin family go.
"If that's the case, then the Qin family will fight!"
Qin Dezheng slammed the table and stood up in chaos. Others also stood up one after another. Everyone looked excited: "Let's fight!"
With Yang Chen around, their confidence soared.
Qin Dayong was also extremely excited because what was about to happen next would change the structure of the entire royal family.
No one knows that the Qin family is brewing a huge plan. Once successful, the Qin family's status in Kyushu will skyrocket.
Before three o'clock, all the top families from King Cao City invited by the Qin family arrived, except King Cao.
"Isn't King Cao here?"
In the small attic, Lao Wu reported the situation in the banquet hall, and Qin Dezheng asked with a frown.
Old Wu nodded and said solemnly: "Could it be that King Cao has already guessed our intention, so he didn't come?"
"King Cao can't guess our true purpose yet."
Yang Chen stood up at this time and said: "But this is a Hongmen Banquet, he must know it!"
"It seems that the royal alliance already knows that I have come to the Qin family."
Qin Dezheng's face suddenly became extremely solemn, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect that King Cao would be so cunning. The reason why we are holding the inheritance ceremony so soon is because we don't want to give them time to investigate. I didn't expect that they would find out."
"Then what should we do now? If King Cao doesn't come, the next thing will be meaningless."
An old man from the Qin family said with a somewhat flustered face.
Although Yang Chen is very strong, the Cao royal family has been suppressing the Qin family for so many years, which has long given everyone a habit of thinking that the Cao royal family cannot defeat him.
"Why are you panicking? Don't we still have Yang Chen?"
Qin De was scolding the old man.
Immediately, he glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Whether King Cao is here today or not, the inheritance ceremony must be held!"
"That's right!"
Yang Chen also said: "When I decided to do this, I already took the current situation into consideration."
“Let’s go through the inheritance ceremony first, and then we’ll talk about the rest after the inheritance ceremony is over!”
Qin Dezheng nodded: "Okay, in that case, let's go!"
After that, he stepped forward directly, followed by several senior officials of the Qin family.
At the same time, in the banquet hall, the heads of the wealthy families in King Cao City came in person with their family members.
However, when three o'clock in the afternoon arrived and King Cao did not appear, the heads of the wealthy families felt a little uneasy.
"It's already three o'clock, why hasn't King Cao arrived yet?"
"Yes, such a grand inheritance ceremony, if it is not witnessed by King Cao, can it still be regarded as an inheritance ceremony?"
"You think, could it be that the relationship between the Cao royal family and the Qin family has collapsed?"
When some people speculated that the relationship between the Cao royal family and the Qin family was broken, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"Shh!"
The head of a top wealthy family in King Cao City quickly made a gesture of silence and said cautiously: "Shut up quickly. Who doesn't know how good the relationship between the Qin family and the King Cao family is? If your words are heard by King Cao and the head of the Qin family,
If you hear this, your family will be destroyed!"
Hearing this, the head of the wealthy family quickly closed his mouth and said with a smile: "I'm just talking nonsense!"
His words, which seemed to be nonsense, made several other heads of wealthy families feel a little unusual.
Given the relationship between the Qin family and the Cao royal family, it is impossible for King Cao to be late for such an important occasion. It is already past three o'clock, and King Cao has not arrived yet, and the Qin family's inheritance ceremony has not begun.
Some heads of wealthy families suddenly felt restless and a little worried in their hearts.
If the relationship between the Cao royal family and the Qin family is broken, then they will definitely offend King Cao if they come to participate in the Qin family's inheritance ceremony.
"Coming!"
At this moment, several figures entered the banquet hall.
Qin De was being supported by a group of senior officials of the Qin family and walked in.
"Master Qin, congratulations!"
Seeing Qin Dezheng appear, the head of a wealthy family immediately stood up and congratulated him immediately.
Immediately afterwards, several other heads of wealthy families with similar strength as the Qin family also opened their mouths to congratulate.
"Thank you very much!"
Qin Dezheng smiled and returned the greetings from all directions.
At this time, Qin Dezheng was surrounded by six or seven-year-olds, even eighty-year-olds, but there was only one young man.
Moreover, this young man is following Qin Dezheng, and even Wu Lie, the strongest man in the Qin family, is standing behind Yang Chen at this time.
This scene caught the attention of many people, and for a while, countless eyes fell on Yang Chen.
From the position of the Qin family, it can be seen that Yang Chen's identity is second only to Qin Dezheng.
However, what puzzled everyone was that they had never heard of such a young man in the Qin family.
Just after Qin Dezheng and others took their seats, the old housekeeper of the Qin family suddenly came out, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "The king-conferring ceremony begins now!"
When the old housekeeper said these words, people from all races were shocked.
Because, what the old butler was talking about was the King's Ceremony. Looking across the Kyushu, apart from the royal family, which other family would dare to hold a King's Ceremony?
However, so many wealthy family owners at the scene thought that they had heard wrongly.
"Pay homage to the ancestors of the Qin family!"
After the old housekeeper finished speaking, Qin Dezheng stood up and led a group of direct family members to the Qin family ancestral hall.
Qin Dezheng personally lit three incense sticks and inserted them behind the incense burner. Then he knelt down and kowtowed three times before getting up.
He looked at the ranking of the ancestors, with a bit of excitement on his face.
After the worship was completed, Qin Dezheng led the direct family members back to the banquet hall. The old butler spoke again: "Please give me the royal robe!"
As the old housekeeper finished speaking, a female descendant of the Qin family held a sandalwood tray in both hands, with a neatly folded royal robe placed on the tray.
"Wow!"
Qin Dezheng opened the royal robe directly and put it on himself.
boom!
At this moment, all the wealthy and powerful people in King Cao City in the audience stood up and were stunned.
It was not until this moment that they realized that they had not heard wrongly before. The old housekeeper of the Qin family was talking about the King Ceremony.
At this moment, Qin Dezheng wore royal robes and exuded the aura of a king.
