Chapter 1228 The Head Is Rolling, so Fast!
"The second prince's person?"
I frowned: "To be honest, I don't even know what the second prince's name is. Why do you see me?"
Zhang Lingyue was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty has three sons, the prince Xuanyuanli, the second prince Xuanyuanqi, and the third prince Xuanyuanxi. Among them, the prince studied under Feng Xiang and is a scholar at the peak of the cave realm, and the second prince has learned profound knowledge. After two years of breakthrough, he stepped into the Immortal Realm and awakened the Dragon Bloodline, so he is said to be the most likely person in the Xuanyuan Clan to inherit the mantle of Emperor Longwu. As for the third prince, he is a scholar in the early stage of the Dongxu Realm, and his qualifications are still relatively inexperienced."
"knew."
I waved my hand lightly: "Meet this person first."
"yes!"
Not long after, a lean man walked in, wearing a luxurious brocade suit, respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Little man Li Qi, see you."
"Um."
I nodded: "I'm busy with military affairs, so just tell me what's going on."
"yes!"
Li Qi respectfully said: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, heard that Junhou loves iron cavalry tactics, and would use pure iron cavalry to defeat the opponent's positions with thunderous force in every battle in the Northern Territory. I have purchased 10,000 purebred sweathorses, and if I want to dedicate these horses that can be turned into war horses with a little training, I will be doing my best to the Liuhuo Legion that is serving the country."
"Thank you very much."
I nodded: "But I can't accept the war horses. The materials of the Flowing Fire Legion come from the imperial arsenal. I can't accept any gifts without His Majesty's nod. However, I appreciate the kindness of the second prince. Please!"
"My lord, but..."
"please!"
With a wave of Zhang Lingyue's hand, two more soldiers escorted Li Qi away, and their gestures were even rougher.
...
"Tell me about it."
I leaned lightly in the chair and said: "Zhang Lingyue, tell me about the affairs between the princes. I want to understand a little bit, so that when the incident really comes to an end, it will be bad if the eyes are darkened."
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhang Lingyue said happily: "According to the rules of the Xuanyuan clan, the throne is passed on from the elder to the younger. This is also the rule left by the previous emperors, but... Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest son, his realm is a little lower. , studied under Feng Xiang, with a bookish spirit, although he is knowledgeable and reasonable, after all, his personal strength is mediocre, while the second prince is born to be a cultivation embryo, and he has stepped into the immortal realm at such a young age as 49 years old, and At the age of 27, he awakened the blood of the dragon, and he can be said to be the most powerful among the children of the royal family."
As he said that, he smiled slightly, and said: "And the second prince Xuanyuanqi has put on armor many times, followed Shan Haigong Nangong and also conquered the territories of different demons in the north many times. And above the court, Shan Hai Gong Nan Gong Yi, Ming Yang Wang Xuan Yuan Yi, Ju Ding Gong Yi Ping and others also support the second prince and are very optimistic about him."
He glanced at me and continued: "Besides, His Highness the Third Prince has been estranged from his eldest brother since he was a child, and he has a very good relationship with his second brother. It is said that His Highness the Second Prince was often punished for being naughty when he was a child, and he loved him very much. Therefore, once there is a battle for the heir apparent, the third prince must also be on the side of the second prince."
I frowned: "Hey, if you say that, isn't His Royal Highness a lonely family?"
"Not really."
Zhang Lingyue smiled and said: "Because His Royal Highness is a disciple of Feng Xiang, so Feng Xiang must be on His side. The disciples taught by himself are the most clear about the character of Feng Xiang. In addition, His Royal Highness's elder relationship is not bad. In those days, the Grandfather of Guanwai Hou loved it very much, and Lord Zhenyang was also full of praise for His Royal Highness's chess skills, but it's a pity..."
His expression darkened: "The two elders have passed away one after another."
"So."
I said lightly: "His Royal Highness is still in a helpless situation, except for Feng Xiang, there are no other supporters."
"Yes."
Zhang Lingyue said: "Prince Feng has devoted himself to the military and political affairs of the empire these years, but he has devoted himself to serving the country and has never deliberately made friends with the officials, so there are almost no party members. There is really only one supporter of His Royal Highness. , the Flame God Legion, the Knights Templar, and the Parliamentary Army almost all support the second prince, after all, the second prince himself is a famous general who can recruit and fight well."
I frowned: "Being good at fighting may not necessarily make you suitable to be an emperor."
"My lord's words are very kind."
Zhang Lingyue nodded and said: "It's a pity that other people may not think so, but as the leader of the Liuhuo Legion, as the Marquis of Beiliang in the north, your attitude is particularly important. Once you support His Royal Highness, maybe It can shake His Majesty's mind, but once His Majesty supports the Second Prince, I'm afraid His Majesty will definitely abolish His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Does my attitude matter?" I asked.
"Yes."
Zhang Lingyue nodded and said: "After all, there are not only the two hundred thousand Liuhuo Legion standing behind your lord, but also the Longyu."
"But, coercing these troops to make His Majesty submit, what is this?"
I looked at him and said calmly: "Since the day I took charge of the Silver Frost Legion, Your Majesty has never treated me badly. If I do such a thing when Your Majesty is exhausted, what face will I have in the world? "
Zhang Lingyue's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, this subordinate...you don't mean that!"
"I know."
I nodded and smiled, and said, "Get up, I didn't say you were presumptuous, you just told the truth."
"yes!"
Zhang Lingyue stood up, with fine sweat on his face. This kid was really frightened by my words, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time. Finally, after I gave him a look, he asked: "So... what do you plan to do?" How to deal with this matter?"
"To see His Majesty."
I sighed, and said: "No matter who your majesty wants to be the new king, I will definitely support it, no matter the cost, just treat it as...repaying your majesty for the kindness of knowing me."
"Yes!" Zhang Lingyue said in a deep voice: "Your subordinates will go and call the guard camp and set off together!"
"No."
I shook my head and said, "What are the thousands of people in the guard battalion enough for? You go and tell Qin Zhan that 30,000 elites will be drawn from the Tianqi battalion, 20,000 elites will be drawn from the cavalry and archery battalion, and 50,000 cavalry will be sent from the Yanmen Pass Let's go, go to the imperial capital with me, we enter the city, and the team stays outside in case of need."
Zhang Lingyue looked shocked: "Has it reached this point?"
"If someone in the empire is really planning to prevent me from seeing His Majesty, or if I see His Majesty, they will also block the news and refuse to acknowledge His Majesty's words, so what should I do? First consider the worst situation, and then prepare Sufficient, no matter how it is, it is not a bad thing."
"The subordinate understands!"
Zhang Lingyue nodded, turned around and left.
I quietly looked at the several petition reward emails that had just been refreshed on the handsome case, and felt a little perplexed. Is Emperor Longwu Xuanyuanying really going to die? In this case, an era is coming to an end, and that is an era of Mingjun!
...
Not long after, the iron hooves rolled into the teleportation array inside Yanmen Pass, and teleported directly to the camp outside Fanshu City, while I rode Wu Xiezhi, and Zhang Lingyue and Zhang Lingyue stepped in with dozens of riders. Leaving Fanshu City, walk along Chengchi Avenue.
"Hi Ali!"
Ah Fei was at the stall at the east gate, waving at me, and said with a smile, "Bringing so many troops into the main city to pretend to be aggressive? Awesome!"
I stared and ignored him.
Nanmu Keyi jumped up and slapped A Fei on the back of the head, and said angrily: "Drafter, how did you talk to Master Beiliang?"
Ah Fei resentfully said, "Dog day's nanmu dog legs..."
I laughed, and still led Zhang Lingyue and others across the avenue, heading straight for the palace, and when we arrived in front of the palace, we saw a group of imperial guards holding long swords blocking the way.
"The Marquis of Beiliang is on fire in July, please see Your Majesty." I said.
"grown ups."
A chief guard stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty was seriously injured in the battle of Longyu, and he is recuperating now. The imperial doctors said that no one should disturb His Majesty, or you will bear the consequences. Come back!"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Lingyue raised his eyebrows: "Don't let us see His Majesty? Do you want the Liuhuo Legion to go home directly?"
I said lightly, "Is it His Majesty's intention not to let me see His Majesty, or is it your intention? Or, is it the imperial doctor's intention? I want to ask for clarification."
Immediately, the chief guard looked stunned, and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a decree in the palace that no one is allowed to see His Majesty, so don't make things difficult for me."
"That's it..."
Zhang Lingyue had a smile on his face, but he talked to me with Xinhu: "My lord, I know this person. He is not the head of the Imperial Guard. He seems to be a captain of the Yanshen Legion before."
I frowned: "Nangong also wants to rebel?"
"Hard to say."
"knew."
I immediately talked to Qin Zhan through Xinhu: "Lead 50,000 cavalry directly to the palace, and anyone who dares to block the way will be killed!"
"Yes, my lord!"
All of a sudden, the sound of iron hooves rolled outside the city, and a group of iron cavalry from the Flowing Fire Legion just entered Fanshu City. The billowing smoke and dust had probably flooded the stalls of A Fei, Nanmu Keyi and others.
The iron cavalry came quickly, and Qin Zhan and others killed him in a blink of an eye, and a sword with an inscription pattern was unsheathed, full of murderous aura.
"Fire in July!"
The head of the guard looked shocked: "You...do you want to rebel?"
"Step aside!"
My voice was gloomy: "Otherwise I will die!"
"you……"
A group of guards retreated in unison, while I approached step by step with the iron cavalry of the Flowing Fire Legion.
...
"Fire in July!"
Above the main hall, a warrior wearing military armor swooped down. It was Shanhai Gong Nangong, who said in a deep voice, "Break into the palace by force, are you trying to rebel?"
I said lightly: "At this time, the person who won't let me see His Majesty is the one who really deserves to die! Nangong Yi, if you want to die, just go forward, the swords of the Liuhuo Legion are very sharp, and they can kill rebellious officials and thieves When the time comes, people's heads are rolling, so fast!"
