Li Kuixing's strong attitude instantly made the atmosphere weird.
Many of the big guys present had weird expressions.
I couldn't help but start to calculate the pros and cons, but no one dared to stand up and publicly announce their support for Hu Kui!
Everyone remained silent in a tacit understanding.
In an instant——
The huge square fell silent, and everyone chose to wait and see for the time being.
"Master Li, what do you mean by this?" An Gufeng said in a deep voice.
"It's very simple, just four words..."
He raised his hand and pointed fiercely at Hu Kui on the high platform.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Kuixing said in a deep voice: "Virtue is not worthy of it!"
He was suddenly startled.
The entire square fell silent for an instant.
Li Kuixing's meaning is very clear. He, Hu Kui, is too young and slightly lacking in strength. He is not worthy of sitting on the position of Lord of Longdu City!
One sentence shocked all the nobles present.
He glanced at everyone.
Li Kuixing was high-spirited and continued while rolling his sleeves: "Of the twelve fortress cities in the Great Xia Empire, which one is not a behemoth with a population of millions? For such an important strategic base, the person who serves as its city lord must not only have extraordinary strength.
, you must also have a sophisticated mind and experience..."
"As for this kid..."
A cold smile.
Li Kuixing shook his head and said: "He is not worthy of being the city lord at all!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
All the dignitaries and bigwigs of Longdu suddenly exploded, and buzzing discussions broke out one after another.
There is no denying——
If we talk about qualifications alone, Hu Kui is indeed not qualified at all!
There are many ruthless people in Longdu who are stronger than him and have more management experience and abilities than him.
The lord of a city is the one who can live in it!
From this perspective, Li Kuixing's words make sense.
Many family leaders felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and their positions in their hearts were instantly shaken.
This group of people were originally just like grasshoppers.
Whoever has more power will listen to him!
Seeing the royal family represented by Li Kuixing rising to prominence, they finally couldn't help but start whispering.
"quiet--"
Faced with a chaotic situation that is spiraling out of control.
An Gufeng finally couldn't bear it any longer and stabbed the crutch in his hand into the ground, shouting angrily in a deep voice.
"If you have anything to say, we can discuss it on the table. There is no need to deliberately stir up public anger or make people panic!"
"Okay, then let's talk about it on the table!"
A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He stroked his goatee.
Li Kuixing looked at Hu Kui intently and asked in a deep voice: "Hu Kui, in front of all the elders in Longdu, I am asking you..."
"Do you think you are qualified for the position of Lord of Longdu City?!"
Questions like soul torture, directly hitting the weak points of young people.
Faced with more and more questioning looks from the audience.
Hu Kui couldn't help but froze on the spot, his confidence collapsed in an instant, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a long time.
"Alas... I am still too young after all!"
"Yes, the position of city lord is not a child's play, isn't it?"
"I also think this matter needs to be discussed carefully..."
"We still need to find a qualified person to assume the position of city lord!"
People's words are fearful, and the building will collapse!
Seeing that Hu Kui was so unconfident, most of the powerful people in Longdu basically sided with Li Kuixing.
Sighed deeply.
See this.
An Gufeng also knew that the situation was over and it would be difficult to regain any room.
But when he thought of Hu Haiquan who died with the enemy outside the city tower, the old minister felt extremely depressed in his chest.
"As far as Mr. Li sees it..."
I adjusted my excitement a little.
An Gufeng raised his eyebrows and asked: "Who should take the position of Lord of Dragon City?!"
With an easy backhand, the problem was thrown back to Li Kuixing!
As the saying goes, ginger is still spicier when old.
An Gufeng has been with Daxia's high-level officials for many years, and has reached the level of proficiency in Tai Chi.
According to the rules of the Daxia Empire.
The political power of the fortress city must maintain a high degree of autonomy!
Although the princes and city lords of the major fortress cities swore allegiance to the Daxia royal family.
But similarly, the royal family must not directly interfere in the internal affairs of the fortress city, especially the appointment and dismissal of the city lord!
All this——
This is all for the absolute balance of the forces of all parties and to maintain the dominance of the Great Xia Empire in the doomsday wasteland world.
The ancestral system and rules established hundreds of years ago.
If the royal family represented by Li Kuixing has expressed its attitude, this time it is determined to intervene in the internal affairs of Longdu.
It will definitely arouse stronger dissatisfaction and backlash from the powerful!
"Since Minister An asked, I will boldly recommend..."
He walked towards the high platform calmly.
Li Kuixing looked into the depths of the crowd and laughed loudly: "Mr. Zuo Xinghe of the Zuo family in Longdu, whether in terms of qualifications or reputation, is not inferior to the previous city lord Hu Haiquan. Isn't this...
Is he the best candidate for the position of city lord?!"
The crutch in his hand trembled slightly.
An Gufeng's body suddenly stiffened, and he was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.
No one thought that Li Kuixing would push the Zuo family to the forefront at this time.
The Zuo family of Longdu was originally a long-established real power faction.
If Zuo Xinghe hadn't been unwilling to accept the status quo and wanted to unify all the power in Longdu.
The power of the Zuo family will still be among the top three in Longdu, second only to the Anhu family at most.
I have to say.
By letting Zuo Xinghe become the new Lord of Dragon City, not only will the entire Dragon City dignitaries be convinced, but others will have no reason to argue that the Daxia royal family is interfering in the internal affairs of the fortress city.
As for Li Kuixing——
All you need to do is communicate well with the Zuo family on behalf of the royal family after they take over.
Then the issue of profit distribution is divided, and finally the Zuo family's absolute allegiance to the royal family is determined.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife and emptying Longdu.
All of this will naturally fall into place!
What Emperor Yongan of Daxia really wanted was an absolutely obedient dog.
As for the name of this dog, it was not within his scope of consideration at all.
"Mr. Zuo..."
Seeing that the time had come, Li Kuixing hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said repeatedly: "For the prosperity of the Great Xia Empire, and for the long-term stability of Longdu in the future, you should not refuse anymore. Mr. Zuo is definitely worthy of his title as the lord of Longdu City.
Come back!"
The dense crowd suddenly dispersed!
Everyone looked at Zuo Xinghe, who was silent, and nodded in agreement.
"Asshole..."
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Xia Lengling wanted to step forward to stop him, but was forcibly stopped by An Gufeng on the side.
Closing his eyes slightly, An Gufeng shook his head helplessly.
The ship is finished and the situation is over!
Forcibly stepping forward at this time will only make Longdu's political situation more unstable. Even if they are unwilling to do so, they can only compromise for the time being and think of other countermeasures later.
Raise your head proudly.
Zuo Xinghe raised his eyebrows and glanced around at everyone.
Then, with the help of the maid, he slowly climbed onto the high platform.
"The position of city lord..."
An inexplicable smile appeared on the wrinkled face.
After strolling around and admiring the two tokens in the hands of the maid, Zuo Xinghe's eyes were filled with the desire for power.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have spent my whole life dreaming of getting this position. I never thought that today I can get this position at my fingertips..."
An Gufeng remained silent on the high platform, closing his eyes slightly and trying to control his anger.
As for Hu Kui, he clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head with shame on his face!
"What a pity..."
He shook his sleeves.
Zuo Xinghe turned his head away and smiled bitterly: "I will never dare to claim this great position of city lord no matter what today!"
