Strongest Replication

Third Elder, who was in charge of the punishment, thought for a long time about Chu Zhongtian recommending Chu Zhongba to be the first king of the Chu. He decided that he must stand out and object.    

Because in his opinion, the reason why he opposed Chu Zhongba being the king was for the future of his family.    

"Young Patriarch, I know Zhongba very well. I know that he has outstanding talent. A good child with a simple mind. However, the position of king requires a person with rich experience, who is good at handling government affairs to bear the responsibility. Therefore, I don't agree with Chu Zhongba becoming the new king of Chu."    

In Chu Tianyun's opinion, with Chu Zhongtian's current prestige and influence, as long as it was his decision, no one would dare to question him in front of his face, whether it was right or wrong.    

However, he never expected that the first person to stand out and oppose him would be the highly regarded Third Elder. This made him look at Third Elder without hiding his anger.    

Facing Chu Tianyun's angry gaze, Third Elder acted as if he didn't notice it at all. With a gentle smile on his face, he nodded at Chu Tianyun.    

"Tian, whether you recommend Zhongba to become the new king or let Yuping take over the position of patriarch, it means that you have been training the younger generation. But you can't ignore the others."    

"Because from strength and experience, the younger generation is not the most outstanding." Seeing Third Elder stand up and oppose him, as if Second Elder had obtained some kind of inexplicable courage, immediately after that, he stood up. Not only did he directly oppose Chu Zhongba not being suitable to become the new king of Chu, but he also said that Chu Zhongba was not suitable to become the new king.    

At the same time, he also began to recommend the candidate in his heart.    

He cupped his fists and gestured to all the elders present. Second Elder said with a smile on his face, "I want to recommend someone!"    

"My son, Chu Hongwei, whether it is from the Cultivation Talent or his experience. He is very suitable to become the new king of Chu, so I sincerely request that Young Patriarch... Third Uncle, Grand Elder, and all my comrades, please consider my opinion carefully! "    

Seeing that Second Elder not only opposed Chu Zhongba becoming the king, but also directly recommended his own son, this made Chu Tianyun angry, but also filled his heart with endless regret.    

If he had known that Second Elder was such a person who would turn hostile and fight for benefits whenever he saw them, why would he take the risk of offending Chu Zhongtian and secretly release his son? He had no choice but to swallow the consequences of his actions.    

Second Elder bravely recommended his son, but not only did Chu Zhongtian not directly reject him, this made the elder of the inner clan present feel as if they had seen some kind of signal. They all stood up and opposed Chu Zhongba's decision to become the king, and also strongly recommended their own son. Or someone that they had taken a liking to.    

Only Chu Fann and Tenth Elder did not participate in the discussion of the new king.    

Chu Fann did not participate in the discussion because he understood Chu Zhongtian's character too well. Since he had explicitly stated that he wanted Chu Zhongba to be the king, then he must have considered it carefully.    

According to his personality, unless Grand Elder opposed it. Otherwise, no one present could make him change his mind.    

Since he could not get any benefits, he could not change Chu Zhongtian's decision. Why would he take the risk to provoke Chu Zhongtian?    

It was not that Tenth Elder did not want to participate in the discussion. Although his son, Chu Zhenpeng, wasn't as outstanding as Chu Zhongba and Chu Yuping, he was also an influential figure in the younger generation of Chu Family.    

Since Chu Zhongtian was able to recommend Chu Zhongba to be the king with a high position, then with his support for Chu Zhongtian from the beginning, why didn't his son have the chance to do so?    

Fortunately, when Chu Zhenpeng found out that his father had such an idea, he immediately used his eyes to stop his father.    

Chu Tianyun looked at the people who opposed his son becoming the king.    

As for Eighth Elder and Tenth Elder who had always opposed him, they silently supported Chu Zhongba becoming the king. At this moment, there was not a trace of anger in Chu Tianyun's heart, there was only regret.    

Chu Tianyun finally understood what Chu Zhongtian said. It was not that he was old, but that his mentality was old. Not only could he not see the trend of the family, but he also made a fatal mistake when it came to using people.    

At this moment, he had already given up on the idea of making the fourth request to Chu Zhongtian. He only hoped that Chu Zhongtian could let Chu Zhongba become the king.    

"Third Grandpa, what do you think about my suggestion just now?" Chu Zhongtian looked at Chu Zhengxuan, who had never expressed any objections, and asked directly.    

Chu Zhongtian knew that Chu Zhongba becoming the first king of Chu would cause some people to oppose him, but he never thought that there would be so many people who would oppose him.    

He had underestimated the ambitions of these elders who held true power. Just now, he had made Chu Yuping become a patriarch. The reason why these elders didn't oppose him was because he was too powerful. Furthermore, their goal was to become the king.    

It seemed that if he wanted Chu Zhongba to become the king, he still needed to obtain the support of Chu Zhengxuan and Grand Elder.    

Otherwise, even if he used his powerful strength and bloody means to forcefully push Chu Zhongba to that position, he would definitely cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of everyone.    

After he left the family, those elders who were unwilling would definitely unite and launch a coup.    

At that time, the family would even be in danger of being wiped out.    

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian had to ensure that Chu Zhongba could control the situation.
