Chapter 954 Death and Enthronement

Inside the main hall of Beiyan Palace.

Northern Yan is still dark, so most of the palaces look extremely gloomy and depressing.

But today, the atmosphere in the entire Beiyan Palace is even more depressing, because Xiang Long is almost unable to hold on.

Dozens of core figures of Beiyan Xiang's royal family gathered in the palace. Xiang Long was lying on the bed, his breath was extremely depressed. It's not easy to be dragged to be buried with him.

Counting the members of the Beiyan royal family present, except for a younger brother who hated Xiang Long, the others did not look sad, and were even very indifferent.

The emperor and the royal family are two concepts.

In Beiyan, only Xiang Long's direct descendants can take over the throne. Even if the people in his line are trash, then a trash must take over the throne, because they are the direct descendants.

As for the other Beiyan royal families, they may have been direct descendants of the royal family, but ever since their ancestors were entrusted, they were only members of the Xiang family royal family.

To them, the so-called dynasty is more like a family.

They worked hard and contributed to the Xiang family's dynasty, while the emperor needed to use the power of the entire dynasty to support them in order to maintain his status. The relationship between the two parties was as simple as that.

So seeing Xiang Long's death, they were neither sad nor happy. Anyway, as long as the next emperor who ascended the throne could bring them enough benefits as usual, that would be enough.

But they are not sad, but it does not mean that Xiang Chong is not sad.

Xiang Chong has never been a cold-blooded person, so when he saw Xiang Long fighting for the throne with his elder brother, he was very sad and hated Xiang Long deeply, but seeing that Xiang Long was dying now, although he still hated Xiang Long, But still sad.

After working for a long time, several imperial physicians looked at each other, and had to say to Xiang Chong: "Your Majesty, I have already exhausted my energy, your majesty is exhausted, and his spirit has begun to dissipate. Divine pills are also useless."

"Can you let Brother Huang talk again?" Xiang Chong asked, holding back the grief in his heart.

One of the imperial physicians nodded and said, "That's fine, but forcibly stimulating His Majesty's spirit will make His Majesty's spirit dissipate faster."

Xiang Chong hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said: "Go ahead, let Brother Huang leave a few words at the end."

The imperial doctor nodded, took out a silver needle and stabbed several large points on Xiang Long's body. Xiang Long, who seemed to be dead, coughed twice, turned his blank eyes to Xiang Chong, and the corner of his mouth pulled out an arc. Weakly said: "You finally called me Brother Huang again."

Hearing Xiang Long's first sentence, Xiang Chong's eyes turned red.

"Brother Huang, what else do you want to say?" Xiang Chong asked while holding Xiang Long's hand.

Xiang Long shook his head weakly and said: "It's all been arranged, there's nothing more to say, I've done my best, and after Chong'er ascends the throne, it's up to him."

Speaking of this, Xiang Long suddenly held Xiang Chong's hand tightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and uttered the last sentence: "I am unwilling! But I don't regret it either!"

As the words fell, the vitality of Xiang Long's body completely dissipated, Xiang Chong finally couldn't help it, and tears fell.

"Brother Huang!"

In Xiang Long's life, right and wrong, he has long been unclear.

As a brother, he killed his brother to seize the throne, and killed his own brother without mercy, which can be called extremely cold-blooded.

As a father, because of the busy state affairs, even Xiang Chong, who is the most beloved by him, has not received much teaching from him, which also caused his sons to disagree with each other, and their brothers fought against each other.

But as the emperor of Beiyan, he is qualified, even excellent.

Beiyan was originally just one of the many small countries in the world. Without him, Xiang Long, even if there was a useless emperor in Dong Qi, with the size of Dong Qi, he would be able to sweep Liuhe, directly destroy many small countries in the world, and unify the country.

But because of Beiyan and Xiang Long, let him unite with Beiyan Wulin, Xichu, and any forces that can be united, and finally blocked the expansion of Dongqi, making the three pillars of the world stand today.

He is not reconciled, because the emperors in the world today are full of mediocre people, as long as he is given time, Dong Qi failed to sweep Liuhe, he can! Dong Qi failed to dominate the world, but he can!

He didn't regret it, because even if Xiang Long was spurned by thousands of people, even if he was hostile to his own brother for a lifetime, if he was asked to come again, he would still choose to do so.

Whether it is merit or demerit is left to future generations to judge, anyway, Xiang Long has no regrets in this life!

In the sixty-second year of Zhaowu in Northern Yan Dynasty, Xiang Long died.

Before Xiang Long's death, Beiyan experienced a period of peace, but after his death, the whole Beiyan was undercurrent.

Before Xiang Long died, he didn't summon any princes. His will had already been written. If there were no accidents, Xiang Chong would be enthroned next, but how could things go so smoothly?

In the uterus, Xiang Chong was more than sad, but more ecstatic. This day finally came!

Xiang Li was in the mansion. After hearing the news, he locked himself in a dark room without seeing anyone.

The last moment has finally come, if he succeeds, he will reach the top, if he loses, he should commit suicide as soon as possible, Xiang Chong will even make his death ugly.

In the Martial Arts Hall, Chu Xiu had no expression on his face, because on this day, he had been planning for a long time, and the victory or defeat was decided in one fell swoop!

After Xiang Long passed away, the funeral must of course be held first.

After the funeral, it was Xiang Chong's enthronement ceremony.

Inside the palace, the Beiyan royal family, the military and some honorable generals have all arrived.

Chu Xiu, as the governor of Zhenwutang, naturally stood at the top.

Even apart from these people who belonged to Beiyan, Xiyunzi from Chunyang Daomen followed Shouzhenzi, and Xuyan also came.

However, both of them have some injuries and are still not recovering. This time they came here purely to observe the ceremony, and they are still hostile to each other.

The dragon chair was hanging in the air, and on the high platform, an old man with white beard and hair came out slowly with the support of others, holding Xiang Long's will.

He is the oldest member of the Xiang family's royal family. Although his strength is not very good, even now he is approaching the age of longevity, but this kind of occasion still depends on him to preside over it.

Xiang Chong knelt on the ground. As the thirteenth prince, he was kneeling in front of everyone. The other princes looked at Xiang Chong with complicated expressions.

Although the thirteenth prince was special before and was the most favored by Xiang Long, no one thought that he would be the one who could ascend the throne in the end.

Of course, apart from jealousy, they have no other thoughts.

Among all Xiang Long's heirs, Xiang Li had the greatest advantage before. Even if Xiang Li could not achieve this position, they would not be able to turn to them anyway. Therefore, the princes present were only jealous, but not jealous.

At this time, although Xiang Chong also lowered his head, there was only one thing in his eyes, and that was the golden dragon chair in the front, which was about to belong to him!

Although the dragon chair is not beautiful or gorgeous, some dragon patterns on the dragon chair have even been worn away due to years of use.

But that position represents power, the power of the emperor who controls the entire Beiyan!

It was all just in a dream before, but now it just appeared in front of him, how could Xiang Chong not be nervous? He was trembling slightly now.

The ancestor of the Xiang clan stood at the forefront, and said in an old but powerful voice: "Xiang Chong, His Majesty has passed away, before he left, he appointed you as the crown prince, I hope you will not disappoint him.

Among the three kingdoms of the present age, the time, place, and people are harmonious, and I, like Bei Yan, do not occupy it, but under the leadership of His Majesty, I have guarded this piece of land.

Now that His Majesty is gone, the next burden will be on you. Are you confident? "

Xiang Chong hurriedly bowed and said, "Of course I have confidence. My father's will is in front of me. I will definitely inherit my father's will, lead Beiyan, sweep Liuhe, and unify the Central Plains!"

The ancestor of the Xiang clan nodded his head, just about to read Xiang Long's edict and make Xiang Chong officially enthroned.

But at this time, a voice sounded out of place: "His Royal Highness has confidence, but I have no confidence.

Sweeping Liuhe? But I'm afraid that you will destroy Beiyan within a few years of your accession to the throne, Your Highness the Crown Prince! "

Everyone present suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

Chu Xiu just stood up without any scruples, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Shou Mako and Xu Yan raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other.

Is Chu Xiu crazy? He blatantly opposed Xiang Chong's accession to the throne and intervened in the affairs of the Beiyan royal family. This was an enemy of the entire Beiyan dynasty!

Xiang Chong shouted angrily: "Chuxiu! What do you want to do? This is the enthronement ceremony of the imperial court, not a place where you can speak nonsense! Do you want to rebel?"

Chu Xiu said coldly: "Rebellion? My lord, your Xiang family is the royal family of Beiyan, and it is true that you are the ruler of Beiyan, but don't forget that we also live in Beiyan and are also a part of Beiyan. !

I am not rebelling. When His Majesty is here, even if I have some disagreements with His Majesty, have you ever seen me say a word 'no'?

Your Majesty is the hero of a generation, Beiyan is in his hands, we are all at ease.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a qualified emperor, and it would definitely be a disaster for him to control Beiyan.

I have no intention of rebelling, and it is impossible to rebel, but I want you to think carefully, is such a person really suitable to succeed to the throne?

Before His Majesty died, his eyes were dim and he couldn't see people's hearts clearly, so he chose such a person.

A qualified emperor can lead Beiyan from a small northern barbarian country to the point where it is now fighting against Eastern Qi.

But what about an unqualified emperor? That was a disaster!

Everyone, don't forget the incident when Lv replaced the Jiang family in Dongqi in the past.

The emperor's surname can be Xiang Chong, but it doesn't have to be Xiang Chong! "
