Chapter 330 I Am the True God

Dragon Guardian. Reading

"This little guy is interesting."

Li Long picked up a piece of Kui beef and dipped it in the copper pot.

The Kui cattle tribe lived on Liubo Island. There used to be a demon fairy sitting in the island, but now it is just a demon tribe under the command of Liubo Dragon King.

Since getting the recipes written by Zhou Yi, Li Long couldn't wait to try them one by one. Among them, beef hot pot is the most suitable for his taste.

Drinking around the stove, all kinds of flavors melted away, which is more suitable for getting closer than any palace banquet.

"I thought it would be the King of Yan."

Zhou Yi tasted the wine, which was a century-old wine brewed by Li Long himself. There are still some benefits to living a long life.

"I don't care who becomes emperor, as long as he is a descendant of the Li family, so that I can have an explanation in the afterlife."

Li Long suddenly asked: "Daoyou has a good relationship with this little guy, can you tell me whether the yellow robe is a trick or an accident?"

"It is the general trend and the popular expectation..."

Zhou Yi said: "For example, the officials of the Yanwang Mansion in the capital are separated from the Yanwang by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the only reason for insisting is the merit of following the dragon. Knowing that the Yanwang has no intention of competing for the dragon, they cannot admit defeat, so there is a scene in front of us."

The person who put the yellow robe on Li Xun was Wang Kan, the chief official of the palace.

Even though the Yanwang was far away in the southeast, as a prince who once competed with the regent prince, his visible and invisible power was far beyond that of others.

Now all gathered under Li Xun's command, they don't really care who becomes emperor, as long as they get the merit of following the dragon!

Li Long nodded in agreement and said, "This is just the beginning. It will be difficult to defend Kyoto and convince all parties to recognize it."

Zhou Yi was surprised and said, "You are watching the show like this. Aren't you afraid of chaos and division in Da Gan?"

"As long as I am alive, there will be no problem in Da Gan. As for after death..."

Li Long said, "I have figured out some things in recent days. There are people to support us in this vast world. There is no need to worry about chaos."

"Maybe."

Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with a gleam. He didn't know whether Li Long really let it go or said it on purpose.

Dagan has been passed down for three generations of martial saints. With its terrifying strength, it is hard to say that there is no backup.

"I invited you here today, firstly to thank you for helping Da Gan eradicate the magic lotus. It is very troublesome for me to deal with its strange power of taking over other people's bodies."

Li Long said: "Secondly, I want to discuss with you whether you can sell the nine lotus seeds to me? No matter what the conditions are, I will definitely fight to the death to achieve them."

Zhou Yi refused: "The lotus seeds have been possessed by the devil. After taking them, you will most likely become a demon."

"That's a pity."

Li Long did not continue to pray. This matter was just to test the waters.

...

The news that Li Xun put on a yellow robe on the palace wall and read the last edict of the previous emperor quickly spread throughout the capital.

Bang!

The teacup fell to the ground and turned into pieces.

Li Ji, the sixth uncle of the previous emperor, was furious when he heard the news.

"How dare he claim to be the emperor when he came from a branch of the royal family?"

Originally, the slogan of Li Xun's army was to welcome the King of Yan. Even if Li Ji was dissatisfied, he did not dare to be the first to turn against him. Who would have thought that Li Xun would put on a yellow robe.

"Your Highness, now is not the time to explore the bloodline. We must stop Li Xun from ascending the throne."

The staff reminded: "The previous emperor ascended the throne in one fell swoop, without fighting for the throne. As a result, not long after ascending the throne, the third prince's family was beheaded on the grounds of treason. Now that the prince has shown his intention to fight for the throne, he will be liquidated if he fails to ascend the throne."

Li Ji was shocked when he heard this, and thought of the tragic situation of his brother's family being confiscated, and hurriedly said.

"Mr. Xu, please tell me what I should do?"

"Li Xun is known for his invincibility, and it is difficult to fight him with soldiers."

Mr. Xu said: "For now, we can only unite with other people in the capital, first work together to destroy Li Xun, and then fight for the throne."

"That's great."

Li Ji took out the king's seal, held Mr. Xu's hand and said: "My life and property are in your hands. When I ascend the throne in the future, you should be the chief assistant!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

After leaving the palace, Mr. Xu prepared to go to the palace of Prince Kang.

Prince Kang is a veteran prince. He was in charge of the Imperial Clan Court during the Jingtai and Hongde periods, and he was quite majestic among the royal family.

This time, Prince Kang also wanted to compete for the dragon. He gathered many royal families under his command, and he was a force that could not be underestimated.

Not long after leaving the palace, a light of escape landed in front of Mr. Xu, and he bowed and said.

"Brother Leshan, long time no see!"

Xu Leshan recognized the person and hurriedly returned the greeting: "It turned out to be Teacher Cheng. Didn't you teach in the academy today?"

The great scholar was very clear-minded. During such a sensitive period, Teacher Cheng, who had not been in contact for a long time, suddenly appeared. It was probably related to the competition for the dragon.

Teacher Cheng said: "Today, there was a war in the capital. Mr. Yan was uneasy and ordered the students of the academy to come to the capital to maintain order and not let the people be harmed."

"Shanzhang Yan actually got involved. I wonder who he supports?"

Xu Leshan's eyes flashed with surprise. He had studied in the academy and was repeatedly enlightened by Shanzhang.

"Shanzhang Yan can't bear the spread of war, so he naturally supports Li Xun."

Teacher Cheng said: "Brother Leshan, now Li Xun has broken through the imperial city and has taken the lead, why don't we support him together, and we may serve in the same palace in the future."

Xu Leshan's face remained unchanged. He had long expected that Teacher Cheng was here to persuade him.

"Your Highness has been very kind to me. At this critical moment, how can I..."

"Brother Leshan, you don't know that it's not just the academy that supports Li Xun, but also the aristocratic families, and the Buddhist and Taoist sects."

Teacher Cheng said slowly: "So many people are waiting for the merit of following the dragon. Li Xun's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion. Why should Brother Leshan go against the trend?"

"Academy, aristocratic families, Buddhist and Taoist sects..."

Xu Leshan murmured for a moment, and said: "Brother Cheng invited me, how can I refuse! Your Highness is not worthy of a monarch, so in order to avoid the robbery of the mansion, I will ask His Majesty for mercy."

After that, the two turned into a light and flew towards the palace.

Li Ji waited and waited but Mr. Xu did not come back, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite him. Only then did he know that his left and right arms were guarding the palace for Li Xun.

Such scenes happened everywhere in Luojing.

The top scholars in Dagan basically came from the four major academies, and they could call each other brothers. With Yan Yuanzheng supporting Li Xun first, it was much easier to persuade others.

The aristocratic families were headed by the Cui family, and the sect forces were allied with Pei Yu. After seeing Li Xun break through the imperial city, they did not need to invite him, and sent masters to support him.

At this time, standing by is still a timely help.

Buddhism and Taoism did not actually express their support for who would ascend the throne to become the emperor. However, the Xianfeng Division occupied several markets to the west of the imperial palace, saying that demons were lurking in them and strictly prohibited anyone from passing through them.

Originally, all parties scolded Li Xun, thinking that he was just a warlord who had gone insane.

No one expected that Li Xun could actually get the support of the Buddhist and Taoist sects of the aristocratic family of the academy!

For a time, all parties fell silent, their eyes were full of disbelief, and at the same time, they secretly formed alliances to try to compete with Li Xun!

How could the throne of the emperor be obtained without bloodshed?

Even though Li Xun was very powerful, some people who wanted to win the dragon had already put life and death aside, and dared to gamble with a single blow if there was any possibility.

At the same time.

Li Xun's relatives began to spread the news, the core of which was to win over the middle and lower class people and recognize the throne of the new emperor.

Li Xun's actions in recent years are slightly exaggerated. For example, the leasing of imperial land promoted by Emperor Jingtai is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Its source is what Li Xun did in Bodhi County.

Later, Li Xun led troops to conquer the noble families and check the land.

After rounding off, the credit for leasing imperial land belongs to Li Xun, which shows that he loves the people like his own children!

Another propaganda focus is that destiny is the destiny of heaven. In the world of immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons, destiny really exists and there are many believers.

So auspicious signs began to appear in various places in Beijing, and a little publicity was that the heaven congratulated Li Xun on becoming emperor.

As for the story of Li Xun's victory in all battles, there is no need to publicize it. Various stories have exaggerated him into a living god of war.

In just a few days, after being promoted by various big Vs.

The people in Beijing thought that they had a very clear and deep impression of Li Xun. After all, they heard the inside information from Taishan, the cousin of the second uncle of their neighbor!

Unanimous approval of Li Xun is at least not a bad thing. It is better than the old man who always dozes off during the morning court!

…

Kang Wang Mansion.

Study.

The royal family members gathered together, and there were many court officials.

There were discussions, and their expressions were different, some were entangled, some were anxious, and some even had ferocious faces.

Li Xun has begun to prepare for the coronation ceremony, and the reign title has been announced. I heard that it was Longqing, but I don’t know what it means.

There are still undercurrents outside the palace. The fight for the dragon has not ended until the national martial saint has spoken. However, after various divisions on Li Xun’s side and their own surrender, there are less than a handful of people left fighting for the dragon.

Kang Wang Mansion is one of them.

Today, the relatives and officials gathered together because Kang Wang invited them to discuss the anti-Xun plan.

"You have been discussing for so long, but what is the result?"

Kang Wang motioned to everyone to be quiet, and said: "If we drag it on, the Martial Saint Patriarch may recognize Li Xun if he doesn't see us move."

"Your Highness, my prince's intention is to unite the troops."

The chief official of Prince Duan's Mansion said: "Li Xun is powerful, but he is not invincible. As long as we work together, success or failure is uncertain."

"Since we are uniting the troops, we must come up with a rule, at least we can't fight alone."

Kang Wang said slowly: "There are three princes who are interested now, and two sons of the previous emperor. Who can be the person in charge?"

"Of course, my prince!"

The speaker was the chief official of Prince Han's Mansion: "The prince joined the army when he was young, and later served as the governor of the Zhenbei Army. He is best at leading troops to fight."

"Hehe! Although His Highness Prince Han knows about military affairs, he is far behind Li Xun."

Another voice sounded, it was A eunuch who was neither positive nor negative said, "I remember that when the King of Han was in the Zhenbei Army, the Jizhou Demon Sect attacked and suffered a series of defeats, so he was dismissed by Emperor Li. Li Xun, that fellow, is a god of war who led troops to conquer the demon country and won every battle!"

The chief official of the King of Han's Mansion said angrily, "What does Eunuch Liu mean?"

"I am just reminding you that you should not think about leading troops to fight head-on, which is equivalent to using your own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths."

Eunuch Liu said, "The only way to defeat Li Xun is to summon all the masters and work together to break through the imperial city. In this way, the gap with Li Xun's soldiers will be eliminated, and the chance of victory will be greater."

"That makes sense."

"Why fight with Li Xun?"

"Cultivators are the basis for determining victory or defeat!"

"Soldiers are just ordinary people."

"That's great..."

Everyone heard this and talked about it, and agreed with Eunuch Liu's method.

Summon the top three rank masters and carry out the decapitation operation. Just capture and kill Li Xun, and don't care about his soldiers.

The various forces that originally surrounded Li Xun will naturally collapse without a backbone and common interests.

"Then let's do it."

King Kang said: "I learned from the palace that Li Xun has ten to fifteen top three rank masters, but no first rank. If we want to win, we must summon at least twenty."

"So many..."

Eunuch Liu frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome. Li Xun seems to have no first-rank, but he has the support of Sanwu Zhenren and Pei Jianzhu. To avoid accidents, we need to invite two first-rank officials to have a chance of winning."

"Originally, there were many, but now it's different. Li Xun has gathered forces from all sides and spread rumors to deceive the people in Beijing, but he just turned a blind eye to the three prime ministers. I don't know what he means?"

King Kang coughed lightly, and four streams of light fell in the study.

The leader was Pang Ji Pang Xianggong, with a gloomy face and a cold voice.

"They have strong troops and horses, maybe they look down on us!"

The second assistant Fei Yuan said with a fake smile: "The previous emperor appointed the Martial Saint who protects the country, and he never moved the position of the cabinet minister. Now this person has not yet ascended the throne, and he is going to abandon us old ministers!"

The second assistant Yang Zhong said: "Maybe we old guys will know how to make room for ourselves, so as not to reward those who follow the dragon without a position!"

The last one to fall was Wang Bo'an, who stepped forward and saluted King Kang and said: "Your Majesty, I have not only invited three elders, but also contacted more than ten third-rank ministers in the court."

"Lord Wang is worthy of being the backbone of two dynasties!"

King Kang said loudly: "Three elders and ministers, plus the masters in our mansion, Li Xun is doomed to fail!"

——I haven't finished writing, I'll refresh it later, sorry!

Eunuch Liu said: "The only way to defeat Li Xun is to summon all the masters and work together to break through the imperial city. In this way, the gap with Li Xun's soldiers will be eliminated, and the chance of victory will be greater."

"That makes sense."

"Why fight with Li Xun?"

"The cultivators are the basis for determining victory or defeat!"

"The soldiers are just ordinary people."

"That's great..."

Everyone heard this and talked about it, agreeing with Eunuch Liu's method.

Summon the top three masters and carry out the decapitation operation. Just capture and kill Li Xun, and don't care about his soldiers.

The various forces that originally surrounded Li Xun will naturally collapse without a backbone and common interests.

"Then let's do it."

King Kang said, "I have heard from the palace that Li Xun has ten to fifteen top three-rank masters under his command, but no top one. If we want to win, we must summon at least twenty."

"So many..."

Eunuch Liu frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome. Li Xun seems to have no top one, but he has the support of Sanwu Zhenren and Pei Jianzhu. To avoid accidents, we need to invite two top one-ranks to have a chance of winning."

"Originally there were many, but now it's different. Li Xun has gathered forces from all sides and spread rumors to deceive the people in Beijing, but he just turns a blind eye to the three prime ministers. I don't know what he means?"

King Kang coughed lightly, and four streams of light fell in the study.

The leader was Pang Ji Pang, who had a gloomy face and said in a cold voice.

"They have a strong army and horses, maybe they look down on us!"

The deputy minister Fei Yuan said with a fake smile: "The previous emperor appointed the Martial Saint who protects the country, and he never moved the position of the cabinet minister. Now this person has not even ascended the throne, and he wants to abandon us old ministers!"
