Chapter 27: Concession

Even though Huan Chang was reluctant, he still didn't know how to say no to the words when he saw the firm expression on the faces of the soldiers of Song Renjun. Tianlai Novel | 2

Huan Chang had no choice but to look for help on Song Gong and others.

However, at this moment, how could Song Gong and others be willing to stand up, they simply knelt down on the ground and begged Huan Chang to take on the position of the monarch of Song State.

Song Gong and others knew very well that the reason why Song State was able to stand still today is inseparable from Shujian Pavilion and Song Renjun.

No matter how powerful Duke Song has now, if he does not receive the support of Shujiange and Song Renjun, he may be firmly in the position of monarch.

Instead of being driven out of power by Song Renjun, Song Gong simply abdicated and gave way to the wise. This would also win Huan Chang's favor and continue to contribute to the Song State in the future.

In the spacious stone house, only Huan Chang stood there at a loss, while the rest of the people were kneeling on the ground.

Even though Huan Chang has been in the world for several years and has been used to seeing all kinds of worlds, now that he is kneeling down like this by everyone, he still doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"

Huan Chang hurriedly stepped forward to support Mr. Song, but Mr. Song couldn't get up at all, and the rest of the people didn't move at all.

"It is not my wish to inherit the position of the king, and it is not a good thing for the State of Song. But if we do not inherit the position of the king, these loyal Song Renjun may not agree."

"As long as Song Renjun disagreed, Song Gong may insist on abdicating."

Huan Chang felt extremely distressed at this time and didn't know how to make a decision. He could only let everyone get up quickly.

However, these people seemed to have made up their minds and just knelt on the ground with their heads hanging down, and did not stand up no matter what, to show their determination.

After a long stalemate, just when Huan Chang looked at the people kneeling on the ground and felt uncomfortable all over, he suddenly had an idea.

"Everyone please get up quickly, I just agree to take over the position of monarch!"

As soon as Huan Chang said this, the white-clothed commander and the generals of Song Renjun all showed an expression of excitement on their faces.

As for Mr. Song, Anyang Jun and others, their faces changed slightly.

Although their faces changed for only a moment, they were caught by the commander-in-law in white. They immediately stood up and swept their sharp eyes over everyone, even if they were cold all over.

However, the commander-in-law did not show his sharpness, but only warned Song Gong and others with his eyes, and immediately stood up with the generals of Song Renjun.

"Since the lord has agreed to take over the position of monarch, please choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne. My Song Renjun will definitely be loyal to you!"

"I, Song Renjun, will definitely swear to be loyal to death!"

The generals of Song Renjun also shouted in unison, and the sound was extremely magnificent like a huge thunder, which made everyone's ears buzz.

As for Gong Song, An Yangjun and others, they all stood up at this time, but there was no change in their faces, because they had already seen a deep warning from the white-clothed commander's eyes.

"We will definitely be loyal to our death!"

After Song Renjun swore allegiance, Song Gong and others also shouted loudly and offered their loyalty.

"Okay, since you all want me to inherit the position of the king of Song State, it is better to choose a day than to meet the day. Now go to the front of the ancestral tomb and let me inherit the position of the king!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

They still couldn't understand why Huan Chang, who had just refused, had changed his original intention in an instant and was so eager to become the king.

Not only Song Gong and others, but even the white-clothed commander felt something was wrong.

"Lord, the abdication of the king is not a trivial matter. You should choose a good day, and then make a public announcement to the world. You must also convene hundreds of officials in the court, so that you can show the majesty of the Song Dynasty."

"If the lord had succeeded as the monarch now, it would be inappropriate."

Huan Chang's face turned stern when he heard this, and said, "I am not greedy for the position of the king, but it has been three hundred years since the last wish made by my ancestor Xiang Duke. You have been protecting your promise for a long time."

"I will inherit the position of the king as soon as possible, not only can I understand the wishes of my ancestors, but also let you fulfill the oaths you made. Why not do it?"

"What's more, Song State is now small and has few wealth. Even if the king abdicates, it cannot waste national strength. Everything should be simple."

"Today is also auspicious day. Let's complete the abdication in front of the ancestor's tomb."

Huan Chang's words were filled with unquestionable tone. Although everyone felt it was too much of a joke, no one objected again.

They could still rush to the tomb of Duke Xiang of Song with a nervous mood.

The tomb of Duke Xiang of Song was magnificent.

Huan Chang stood in front, with the generals of Song Renjun and Song Gong and others following closely. The remaining more than a thousand Song Renjun soldiers were all arranged in an orderly team with extremely serious expressions.

"The unfilial descendant Huan Chang, worships his ancestors!"

Huan Chang held incense in his hand and knelt down on the ground to worship Duke Xiang’s tomb. Then the generals of Song Renjun and Song Duke and others also began to worship.

After worship, Mr. Song held the jade seal in both hands, walked up with a complicated expression, and stood between the tombstones of Huan Chang and Xiang Gong.

After reading the concise abdication document, Mr. Song knelt on one knee and held the jade seal in front of Huan Chang.

"Your Majesty is the orthodox Duke Xiang, so you should receive this jade seal!"

Huan Chang took the jade seal with a solemn expression, and then shouted sternly: "The king of Song State should take the prosperity of Song State as his responsibility!"

"I've seen you!"

When everyone saw Huan Chang taking the jade seal, they all felt like they were in a dream and felt that this abdication was too much of a joke.

But they still fell to their knees and swore allegiance to the young king in front of them.

It is just because Huan Chang was a descendant of Duke Xiang of Song and was also the descendant of Shujian Pavilion!

Looking at the people who were kneeling neatly on the ground, Huan Chang took a deep breath, held the jade seal in his right hand, opened his arms and said, "Please get up!"

The northwest wind whistled, Huan Chang's clothes roared, and the grass and trees in the mountains were swaying, as if celebrating Huan Chang's new monarch of the Song Dynasty.

"Ancestor, your last wish has finally been fulfilled. Song Renjun's oath that he had held for three hundred years has finally come true today."

"You are a respectable monarch, and the soldiers of Song Renjun are also men who stand upright!"

Huan Chang looked at the words on the tombstone, his eyes were filled with various complex expressions, and his eyes were a little wet.

The person buried in this tomb was Huan Chang's ancestor.

For Huan Chang, who has been an orphan since childhood, it is difficult for others to understand the excitement of being able to find his own ancestors.

But soon, Huan Chang mobilized his true energy and evaporated the tears in his eyes.

"General, your oath has been completed!"

Huan Chang walked to the white-clothed commander, pulled the man up with his right hand and said softly, with a little melancholy and a little relieved.

"I finally waited for the lord!"

Even though the commander in white has a strong martial arts skills and a very ordinary mind, he is a little excited at this time.

"The fifth generation commander of Song Renjun, I swear to be loyal to the emperor!"
