Chapter 486: The Power of the Inner Demon
The glorious and glorious leader of Dayu Kingdom, who could rival a saint, died so grievously, and the news spread to make the princes in the world laugh at him.
The Lord of Dayu died in anger, but things in the palace still did not stop. Looking at the dying Lord of Dayu, Xiang Shaolong said: "What should we do now?" At this time, the inner ape in Xiang Shaolong's body completely shed its shell and matured, and was active in Xiang Shaolong's heart like never before.
"Forge an edict to prepare Wang Sun to ascend the throne." Cui Yu stepped forward and pulled out the brush from the throat of Lord Dayu: "The body of Lord Dayu cannot be kept. Just set a fire and say that Lord Dayu was burned. Dead." Although the reason for burning to death was absurd, it at least provided an excuse.
Xiang Shaolong took control of the Dayu Palace and replaced all the guards with his own. As for forging edicts?
Xiang Shaolong had already been prepared, and had already sent people to forge the edict before the incident happened.
"Tomorrow morning, I want all the princes and grandsons in the capital of Dayu to come to discuss matters. If they are willing to surrender to me, that's fine. If they are unwilling to surrender, they will definitely die without a burial place." Xiang Shaolong's inner demon The attack occurred, and intensive arrangements began to be made, sending people to deliver the news.
There is not much time left for him. There is Chen Sheng's uprising on the front line and the seven-nation coalition forces are fighting on the border. He must ascend to the throne at lightning speed and seize the orthodox position.
No one knew that the Ouchi Palace had quietly changed its owner overnight. On the morning of the second day before going to court, Xiang Shaolong, as the leader of the Dayu Kingdom, summoned all the seventh-rank and above officials in Dayu Kingdom to go to court under the pretext of establishing the candidate for the crown prince, and prepared to announce the appointment of the crown prince.
Hearing that the candidate for the crown prince was to be determined, everyone was in a state of ups and downs. With various thoughts, they did not dare to delay for a moment and gathered in the Ouchi Palace.
All members of the royal family, their legitimate sons and grandsons gathered in front of the palace.
"Go to court!" Following the call of the chamberlain, Xiang Zhuang led all the princes and grandsons of the royal family to the front of the hall.
But when everyone looked at the strange chamberlain who announced his intention to go to court, they couldn't help but feel a little doubt in their hearts.
Moreover, looking at the guards in the imperial city, all of them have unfamiliar faces, which makes people feel strange. However, no one thought too much about it. After all, no one in the Yu Kingdom had dared to be so rebellious in the five thousand years of his life.
You know, there are many experts in the royal family, and even the thousand-year-old ancestor is still alive, who dares to disobey the rebel?
But when everyone came to the main hall, they felt something different even more. There were rows of warriors in armor standing in the main hall, standing there like sculptures.
Looking at the warriors in the hall, the ministers felt guilty and had no idea what was going on.
Isn't this battle too big?
"Quiet." A chamberlain stood on the high platform and yelled. The ministers stood in line according to their shifts. They all looked at their eyes, noses, noses and hearts, and they all sensed that something was wrong.
Following the sound of footsteps, Xiang Shaolong, wearing a bright yellow python robe, was seen walking slowly out of the back hall, standing directly in front of the dragon chair, then turned around and sat down, facing the courtiers.
Seeing that Xiang Shaolong was so rebellious and sat directly on the throne, everyone in the venue was shocked. Everyone stared blankly at Xiang Shaolong above, and for a moment they didn't know how to speak.
"You traitor, do you really want to die? You can sit in that seat, why don't you get down quickly?" the eldest prince yelled angrily, his voice full of anxiety.
Being treasonous can lead to death. If this reaches the ears of the Lord of Dayu, he will be implicated.
"Quiet!" Xiang Shaolong clapped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, calm down for a moment. I have something to announce." Seeing that everyone was quiet, Xiang Shaolong motioned to the eunuch and asked him to come up early. The prepared brocade box said: "Last night, the Lord of Dayu was critically ill and summoned us. I, Xiang Shaolong, the grandson of the Lord of Dayu, will abide by his orders and inherit the position of Lord of Dayu. I will immediately ascend the throne to save our Kingdom of Dayu from the crisis of fire and water. mistaken."
"This is the holy purpose of the Lord of Dayu. You can check it," Xiang Shaolong said unhurriedly.
"Come here, prepare to crown the king and grandson." The chamberlain shouted. At this time, the courtiers' brains were shut down. They didn't know how Xiang Shaolong could directly ascend to the throne and be crowned in front of everyone.
"Wait a minute!" The second prince shouted quickly.
"What's the matter with Uncle Second Prince?" Xiang Shaolong looked at the Second Prince with a dull expression, without any sadness or joy on his face.
"It's against the rules! Where is the king! Why doesn't the king come forward? Are there witnesses to your edict of succession? Moreover, if you want to ascend to the throne, you need to worship your ancestors, ancestors, temples, and the country. How can you be like this? How to do it? If you want to ascend to the position of the king of Dayu, you need the king to personally announce the edict." The second prince's face was as gloomy as water.
"Grandpa Huang was seriously ill last night and hurriedly announced the edict. He has been practicing in seclusion and has not seen anyone else. My second uncle wants to cross-examine, so let's wait until Grandpa Huang comes out. Now I want to ascend the throne and be crowned. Who among you is in favor and who is against it?" Mr. Xiang Long ignored the second prince.
"I object!" The second prince's face was as gloomy as water: "Why did you suddenly ascend to the throne? It's all nonsense from you. Who can testify?"
"His Majesty did summon Wang Sun last night, I can testify." Xiang Zhuang stood up at this time. Seeing Xiang Zhuang, the head of the clan standing up, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and the third prince stood up angrily: "I'm afraid it won't work if you are the only one to testify. None of the princes in the court heard the king's announcement with their own ears. It is absolutely impossible for two people to decide on a candidate for the crown prince, and we will never agree." There was a hint of impatience in Xiang Shaolong's eyes, and he slowly stood up: "I want to ascend the throne, who is in favor? Who is against? "
"I object! What are you capable of and how dare you covet the position of the king?" The second prince was rude and showed no respect at all.
"I object too. You are talking nonsense, without the monarch personally announcing it, and without being witnessed by the ministers of the court. It is a big joke. I will never agree without meeting the monarch. "The third prince also looked at Xiang Shaolong with a cold voice: "You are a young boy, but you also want to stand on the necks of our elders and shit. Has your hair grown all over? How dare you have such wishful thinking!" There was a wave of objections. Higher than Yilang, Xiang Shaolong watched with cold eyes, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on his father: "Dad, what did you say?"
"It's against the rules." The eldest prince looked gloomy. He hasn't even become a prince yet, but he has been cheated by his own son. It's strange that he is happy about it.
"Take them all." Xiang Shaolong gave an order, and a group of guards rushed in from outside the hall. At the same time, a hundred thousand troops turned into a military formation and enveloped the entire palace: "Everyone who dares to resist will be shot to death."
"Xiang Shaolong, what do you want to do?" The princes looked at Xiang Shaolong's movements as if they were looking at a madman or a fool.
Do it in the inner palace? And he still attacked the royal family members? Is he crazy?
"Let's see who dares!" The second prince yelled angrily, and the supernatural blood in his body began to boil. By now anyone who is not a fool can see that something shocking has happened in the inner palace.
"Take it!" Xiang Shaolong had already prepared. At this time, the battle formation was activated, and a large formation of 100,000 people was suppressed.
The princes were unwilling to surrender and stood up one after another to resist and confront the military formation. Unfortunately, the power of the military formation was too powerful, and Xiang Shaolong had already prepared and secretly planted incense in the hall. Before long, all the royal family members had been taken down.
The ministers on the side were dumbfounded. You looked at me and I looked at you. Looking at the farce in the court, it looked like a legendary rebellion.
"Xiang Shaolong, are you crazy? You are rebelling! You are plotting to usurp the throne!" The second prince was hooked and looked at Xiang Shaolong with his eyes filled with anger.
"I think you are the rebel. I have the seal of the king. If you dare to disobey the king's order, you simply regard the laws of the country as nothing. Come and behead all the clan members who have taken action before. Behead all the old, young, sick and disabled. The execution must be carried out immediately outside the Meridian Gate." Xiang Shaolong's eyes twitched.
"If I don't kill them, my throne will definitely not be secure. If I kill them all, I can sit on the throne safely." There was a cold look in Xiang Shaolong's eyes, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart: " I'm plotting to usurp the throne, and I can't tolerate any mercy. If they don't die today, they will definitely not let me go in the future. These princes have too much power, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress them." Xiang Shaolong's heart boiled with murderous intent. , with an order, the guards dragged all the royal family members out of the hall.
"Xiang Shaolong, you are a traitor. You have no father and no long-term plans to usurp the throne. You must die a good death! The elders in the family will never let you go in the future." Several princes actually played tricks when they saw Xiang Shaolong. Really, every one of them was so scared that their legs went weak and they started to curse.
Some people directly knelt down and begged for mercy: "My dear nephew, please spare my life. I support you in ascending to the throne! I support you in ascending to the throne!" Looking at the people who were scolding or begging, they were usually such aloof uncles. , Elders, Xiang Shaolong felt extremely happy at this moment, which could be described as heartfelt.
"Push them all out and kill them." Xiang Shaolong waved his hand without mercy.
"Brother Xiangzhuang, you are the master of the Zongren Mansion. Please say something." Someone looked at Xiangzhuang where the old god was also and begged for mercy.
Xiang Zhuang sighed when he heard this. The clan was so angry that Xiang Shaolong refused to kill him. How could he push Xiang Yu up?
Xiang Yu was pushed up, but due to the joint decision of him and Zhihu Cui Yu, how could the arrow not be fired now that it was on the string?
Xiang Zhuang shook his head and closed his eyes. Those who died were simply his uncles, brothers, and relatives, not his family members.
The person who died was not his immediate family member, so why was he sad? Not sad at all. Don't say he's not sad. If your relative dies, you probably won't be too sad either.
Screams came and went, resounding throughout the capital of Dayu. All the ministers and officials in the palace were trembling, their eyes full of fear.
Too cruel! Wouldn't it be extremely spicy to kill every one of his uncle's family members? The remaining people who had not figured out what was going on stood in the hall shivering one by one.
Xiang Shaolong turned his eyes and looked at the ministers: "I am enthroned by imperial decree. Who among you approves and who opposes?" The ministers trembled, and listened to the screams outside the door, they all shrank their necks.
"We respectfully invite our grandson to ascend the throne." The clever man knelt down directly on the ground and expressed his loyalty to Xiang Shaolong.
People from Xiang Shaolong's faction also woke up from a dream and respectfully invited Xiang Shaolong to ascend the throne. Under the leadership of everyone, all the ministers in the court fell to their knees and kowtowed as if they had just woken up from a dream: "We respectfully invite the king to ascend the throne." Xiang Shaolong raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of pride: "The succession ceremony Continue." I don't know how many royal family members have died, but now the hall has finally become quiet, and no one can stop Xiang Shaolong from ascending to the throne.
After the ceremony was completed, Xiang Shaolong sat on the throne with a proud look on his face, scanning the ministers in front of him with his eyes: "How can you teach me?"
"I have something to report." At this time, an old man with white hair and beard stood up.
"Liu Aiqing, what's the matter with you?" Xiang Shaolong said pleasantly. He was in a good mood now that he had ascended the throne.
"Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is a great joy that is celebrated by the whole world. Logically speaking, I shouldn't talk about this, but I'm afraid that I didn't remind you in time, which would cause Your Majesty to be unprepared. Please don't blame me." Liu Aiqing said respectfully: "Your Majesty is in the royal capital. Execution of royal family members willfully, I am afraid that the royal nobles from all over the world will have objections, and it will be bad if it causes trouble, so I ask your Majesty to deal with it as soon as possible."
"Especially Xiang Yu, who is leading a million troops stationed at the border. If he hears the news, it may be bad, so please ask the king to comfort him as soon as possible." The old minister hit the nail on the head and pointed out Xiang Shaolong's biggest crisis at this time.
Hearing this, Xiang Shaolong thought for a while and said: "Xiang Yu is easy to say. Now that I am on the throne, will he dare to resist under the king's orders? And with the Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms present, he cannot escape. As for Xiang Yu's treatment, the lonely king has already There is a plan, dear friends, don’t worry." Xiang Shaolong has already made a plan, and it is not difficult to trick Xiang Yu to death.
As long as the food rations of the soldiers on the border are cut off, Xiang Yu will be able to stay on that battlefield forever with the help of the Seven Kingdoms Allied Forces.
As for the honorable clan members from various places? Under Chen Sheng's raging, it would be nice to be alive. How could there be time to interfere in the capital's affairs?
Now rebel troops are running all over the place, and the connection between the capital of Dayu and other places has long been severed. What he had to do was to defeat Chen Sheng and sort out the civil strife in the Yu Kingdom before Xiang Yu's army collapsed.
Then he organized a large army, and when Xiang Yu failed, he sent people to attack him.
"The only one I'm a little worried about is Xiang Caizhu, but it's an unstable factor." Xiang Shaolong was a little worried about Xiang Caizhu.
He can't forget the shadow brought by the Xiang brothers and sisters now. He thought that when the Xiang brothers and sisters arrived, they taught him a good lesson.
In particular, Xiang Caizhu has mastered the power of the earth's magnetism, which can be called a great killer weapon. Thousands of troops and horses are just a number.
"Xiang Caizhu can't stay." A thought flashed through Xiang Shaolong's mind: "Maybe I married Xiang Caizhu?"
