Chapter 956 Traitor

Xiang Chong couldn't imagine Taoist Wu's betrayal at all, and he just stood there blankly, with an uncertain expression on his face, and even more hatred.

He thought that he absolutely treated Taoist Wuli as a confidant, but now, Taoist Wuhu betrayed him!

The other people present couldn't react, how did Taoist Wuhu get mixed up with Chu Xiu?

People like Beigong Baili are no strangers to Taoist Wuhai, who has also stayed in Beiyan for decades.

I remember that when Chu Xiu first came to Beiyan, the other party had a fierce battle over the ownership of Zhenwu Hall. Taoist Wuyi suffered a big loss. Why are these two people hooking up again now?

Xiang Chong seemed to have thought of something, and glared at Taoist Wuzang: "So, those people you recruited are all traitors!"

Taoist Wuli said indifferently: "The word traitor is not used correctly. They have never been loyal to you, so how can they talk about betrayal?"

Xiang Chong gritted his teeth fiercely, and suddenly said to Beigong Baili and the others: "General Beigong, I was Meng Lang before, and the things I did were all bewitched by Taoist Wuhu!

Now you have all seen that the people I put in your place are not my confidantes, but the traitors sent by him, Chuxiu! "

Hearing this, everyone present shook their heads, even those members of the Xiang family frowned.

Xiang Chong was already in a panic, he didn't know where to go, he dared to say anything.

Although Chu Xiu stood up and blatantly supported Xiang Li's bid for the throne, he was still the crown prince and the prince of Beiyan.

In the end, the prince of a country apologized to his courtiers, which is simply useless.

Although it is said that even Xiang Long in the past was polite to the existence of Beigong Baili's strength, but as an emperor, Xiang Long would only exchange interests with Beigong Baili instead of pleading for his own. Courtier.

Now Xiang Chong's panic-stricken appearance is indeed a bit embarrassing to the Xiang family's royal family.

Moreover, Xiang Chong also said that the people who were placed were all traitors sent by Chu Xiu and had nothing to do with him, which was even more ridiculous.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, even if this matter was bewitched by Daoist Wu Huan, even if the traitors are all Chu Xiu's people, but you Xiang Chong didn't find out, and you still regarded them as confidantes, what is this? This is unknown.

And at that time, you didn't know that they were traitors, but as soon as you were bewitched by others, you directly agreed to install people. Isn't this still the same as wanting to seize power?

Does that mean that if these people are really your confidantes, it is only natural for you to install them to seize power?

It's good that Xiang Chong didn't say these words, but after he said it, Beigong Baili and others had a lower impression of him.

Chu Xiu said to Xiang Li: "Your Highness, it's your turn, let's talk."

Xiang Li nodded, took a deep breath, walked out and said, "Uncle Huang, I always thought this position was mine, but now that Emperor Father has given him to Xiang Chong, I am not convinced and unwilling!

Now you can also see what kind of person Xiang Chong is.

Father is wise and mighty in his actions, but he is not a god after all, he also makes mistakes sometimes! "

Xiang Chong snorted coldly: "You mean, it is right for you to take the throne?

Xiang Long, you colluded with Chu Xiu to help you seize the throne. I don't know how much Beiyan's interests have been betrayed. Do you think I'm an idiot? "

Xiang Li shook his head and said: "Uncle Emperor, I have never betrayed Bei Yan's interests, I just cooperate with Master Chu.

As I said, not all the things the father did were right, especially in the end, he was still using the method of checks and balances with multiple forces decades ago, which is useless now.

You all know Master Chu's strength and the power behind him, so why not cooperate with Master Chu instead of forcing him against him?

The rivers and mountains belong to my Xiang family, and the rivers and lakes belong to Lord Chu.

When the time comes, the two sides will join forces, Master Chu will lead the Beiyan Jianghu, even if Dong Qi calls again, we Beiyan will have the strength to fight! "

"Aren't you afraid that Chu Xiu won't keep his promise?"

Xiang Li nodded and said: "Of course I'm afraid, but how can anything in this world be 100% possible?

In the past, when the father and emperor decided to join forces with Beiyan Wulin, didn't a lot of people object to it? How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?

Uncle Emperor, ancestors, you are the mainstay of the Xiang family. If I do something wrong, you can dethrone me at any time if you are in charge of the Nine Dragons Seal. Don't you feel at ease? "

What Xiang Li said was quite sincere, and he even said things like abolishing the emperor.

Emperor Beiyan can be abolished and established, and it is very simple.

The Nine Dragons Seal is one of Bei Yan's trump cards. The emperor and the Nine Dragons Seal can be combined to give the Nine Dragons Seal the power of the dragon veins, making the Nine Dragons Seal powerful.

But as an emperor, even if he had some foundation in martial arts before ascending the throne, it would be abandoned after ascending the throne, and he would not be able to control the Nine Dragons Seal at all, so the Nine Dragons Seal has always been controlled by the strong members of the Xiang family.

Once it is found that the emperor of this generation is fatuous and there is a risk of weakening the dynasty, the Xiang family can vote on whether to abolish the emperor.

The result of this is that the Nine Dragon Seal will be temporarily invalid, and the Nine Dragon Seal cannot be used until the new emperor ascends the throne, and the new emperor must also be a direct descendant of the Xiang family.

This rule was established by the founding ancestors of Beiyan in the past. It has been like this since the day when the Nine Dragons Seal was created, in order to prevent future generations from being fatuous and bring Beiyan into decline.

This matter has always been a thorn in the hearts of the Beiyan emperors of all dynasties, and they usually dare not even mention it.

Of course, the Xiang royal family did not dare to use this power indiscriminately. Everyone is a royal family, and everyone is hurt and everyone is prosperous.

It is not worthwhile to abolish the emperor for no reason, causing the temporary invalidation of the Nine Dragons Seal, and putting yourself in crisis.

Xiang Li is now at a dead end, he will die if he fails to become the emperor, for this reason he has sold Beiyan's rivers and lakes to Chu Xiu. .

Chu Xiu looked at Xiang Chong and said, "Your Majesty, Xiang Chong dares to put people in the royal hall to fight for power and profit, so you can imagine what he is thinking.

This is a typical inside fight expert, outside fight layman.

As an emperor, you don't just look at this one-third of an acre of land, but you have to look at the whole world!

Is it really worth choosing such a person to be Beiyan's successor?

The imperial edict is in your hands. In a word, the Beiyan throne can change hands! "

At this time, everyone was looking at Xiang Chong. Chu Xiu was right, the key to Beiyan's throne right now was actually Xiang Chong.

Chu Xiu's secret methods have already made Xiang Chong completely offend the military and Beiyan's nobles, and Xiang Chong's performance just now has disappointed everyone.

As an emperor, you can be mediocre, even if it's mediocre to the level of Eastern Qi Lu Haochang.

In a dynasty, most people are not mediocre. In all aspects, as long as you dare to delegate power, anything can be solved.

But Xiang Chong's problem is that although he is not too mediocre, he has too many thoughts and his flaws are extremely obvious. It is easy for such a person to be an emperor to do bad things.

Right now, the only one that has the strength to fight against Chu Xiu and the others is the Royal Family Enshrining Hall, which is the most elite force of the Beiyan Royal Family.

Moreover, apart from the imperial worship hall, a series of masters in Beiyan University are now under the control of Xiang Chong, and even the Nine Dragon Seal is in his hands.

Before Xiang Long died, the only correct thing he did was to give all his strength to Xiang Chong.

Although the former Xiang Chong had always hated his imperial brother deeply, among all the Beiyan royal families, only Xiang Chong was the one he could trust.

Being watched by everyone, Xiang Chong suddenly felt great pressure.

Xiang Chong on the side looked at him nervously, and Chu Xiu was also staring at him.

In fact, no matter how Xiang Chong chooses, he will not suffer.

Holding the Beiyan Imperial Family's Shrine Hall in his hand, and the power that Xiang Long gave him, it can even be said that he is the most powerful person in the Beiyan Royal Family.

The ancestor of the Xiang family is just a senior and can be a mascot. When it comes to power, he can't compare with Xiang Chong.

So no matter who inherits the throne, he can sit back and relax.

And in his heart, Xiang Chong was indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Xiang Chong, and what the other party did touched his bottom line.

But when he thought of Xiang Long's appearance before his death, and his entrustment, Xiang Chong couldn't say these words.

After a while, Xiang Chong sighed and said: "Xiang Li, Chu Xiu, stop, the battle for the throne has already shed enough blood.

Brother Huang's generation was miserable enough, I don't want to see the next generation continue to be like this.

Xiang Li, I know what you are worried about. I am worried that Xiang Chong will be bad for you after he ascends the throne.

You can rest assured about this, I can guarantee that Xiang Chong will never touch you.

And Chu Xiu, I know what Zhenwutang has done for Beiyan. Brother Huang is too suspicious, he can't let go of his political tactics until he is dying, so he tried his best to suppress your Zhenwutang.

As long as you, Chu Xiu, can guarantee that Zhenwutang will not betray Beiyan, then all the measures that the emperor's brother made to suppress Zhenwutang will be invalidated. Even if Xiang Chong ascends the throne, I will also guarantee the interests of Zhenwutang! "

Hearing what Xiang Chong said, Chu Xiu shook his head.

Before ascending to the throne hall, Chu Xiu had already made countless deduction, what is everyone's position, how would he choose, how should he respond and so on.

It can be said that so far, everything has been similar to what Chu Xiu expected, and the only thing he missed was Xiang Chong's choice.

Because in Chu Xiu's view, Xiang Chong and Xiang Long are two different kinds of people. He may not approve of Xiang Long's plan.

Moreover, Xiang Chong had indeed placed people in the royal worship hall, and even Xiang Chong came to reprimand him himself, but Xiang Chong didn't take it seriously, and he offended the other party badly.

But Chu Xiu never thought that this reverence was too much, even at this point, he still chose to defend the heir appointed by Xiang Long before.
