Chapter 1599: Invitations (3)
Great Qin King nodded. He said, "Have all thirty-six prefects attend the celebration. Keep everyone together. This will keep things manageable."
Great Zhou King chuckled and said, "You might invite a lot of complaints with this. Don't worry. I'll get this done."
After a short hesitation, he continued, "He refused the blade of Xia. He is most likely unwilling to accept your burden..."
"That's normal." Great Qin King nodded, "I'm not even surprised. I don't intend to hand the burden to him immediately. I only intend to prepare him mentally. The other humans also need to be prepared mentally. Then, he could return during a crucial moment and help humanity. At that time, everyone would recall my suggestion of making him the new leader. His promotion would seem much less sudden."
Su Yu's current decision did not matter. The future was more important. They couldn't quite appoint a successor so suddenly, right? Nobody would be willing to accept that. Things could get very troublesome.
At the moment, Great Qin King was only trying to generate support to Su Yu. Then, they could do more after a few years. At the time, nobody would be surprised to see Su Yu ascending into the position of tenth epoch's human king.
After all, talks about his ascension would have been ongoing for years by that point. This was Great Qin King's true intention. For now, Su Yu was still not strong enough for that position. Furthermore, Great Qin King and the others were still around. Things were not desperate enough for humanity.
It was pointless to force Su Yu into the leadership position this early. That would only ruin Su Yu's relationship with the others.
Great Zhou King laughed and said, "I understand now. How surprising, Old Qin. Even you have learned to scheme."
Great Qin King said, "Scheme? How is this a scheme? This is a plan. I am doing everything openly. It doesn't matter if he's unwilling now. A day would come when he and everyone else would accept this. For now, we are merely planting the seed for his future rise."
Great Zhou King laughed again and said, "Fine. This is actually a good plan. I had been worried that you were trying to quit."
"That wouldn't happen anytime soon." Great Qin King added, "But the wait wouldn't be too long either."
