Chapter 132 New Dynasty, New Emperor

Under everyone's gaze, Feng Yaoguang, dressed in a crimson military uniform and black cape, climbed the stairs. His figure was tall and straight, and his face was handsome.

He walked steadily and powerfully.

He walked into the hall and walked to the front of the hall.

He raised his hand and lifted his robe, then knelt on one knee: "I am Feng Yaoguang, and I pay my respects to the emperor!"

Emperor Wu Lie's eyes fell on his face, and his voice was powerful without anger: "Feng Yaoguang, which country are you from?"

Feng Yaoguang lowered his eyes and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, I was the ninth prince of Nanling before I was seventeen. After I was seventeen, I was saved by your majesty. I can't repay your great kindness. I am General Yaoguang of the Qingluan Army. I will never change until I die!"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of several princes in the hall changed suddenly.

Yan Zhang's eyes fell on the top of his head, and he said in disbelief: "Are you the ninth prince of Nanling?"

"Saved by my father?" Yan Yu seemed to be stupid, and his voice changed due to excessive shock, "How...how could it be saved by my father?"

"Why?" Wu Liedi glanced coldly, "Are you disappointed?"

Yan Yu was so scared that his face turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop: "Your son dare not! Your son... Your son is just surprised, Feng Yaoguang..."

Wu Liedi ignored him and turned to look at Feng Yaoguang: "General Yaoguang, the prince of Nanling accused you of treason, do you have anything to say?"

Feng Yaoguang looked indifferent: "Ten Before I was seven years old, I was murdered in Nanling. My biological father personally issued an order to expel me from the royal family. From that day on, I was no longer a prince of Nanling. After nine lives and one death, I was fortunate to be saved by the emperor. From now on, I will only be a citizen of the Yong Dynasty, General Yaoguang under the command of the Crown Princess. I will live for the Yong Dynasty and die for the Yong Dynasty. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning! "

"I don't want you to live for the Yong Dynasty, nor do I want you to die for the Yong Dynasty." Emperor Wu Lie said calmly, "Since the Crown Prince of Nanling accused you, I think your only way to fight back is to fight back and take back everything that belongs to you."

Feng Yaoguang was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked up at Yan Donghuang.

Yan Donghuang raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him without saying a word.

As the two looked at each other, the tacit understanding of many years of fighting on the battlefield flowed silently.

Feng Yaoguang's eyebrows were soft, he lowered his eyes respectfully, and his tone was a little more arrogant and disdainful: "The Yaoguang Army's battle against the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry is no problem. Even if I conquer Nanling, what about presenting it to Her Majesty as a gift for her coronation?"

He didn't think about it or ask about it in these years, but it didn't mean that he didn't understand Nanling's strength.

The emperor was old and confused, and he made foolish decisions repeatedly. The ministers of various factions in the court fought for power and fought to the death, and the civil strife became more and more serious.

The military generals served their respective masters and had long been divided.

This time, Nanling was probably bewitched by someone, knowing Feng Yaoguang's identity in the Qingluan Army, and deliberately spread rumors to arouse suspicion between the monarch and ministers of Yong State, to provoke the relationship between him and the Qingluan Army, and then to cause internal strife in the Qingluan Army, indirectly weakening their combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, with Nanling's current situation, he would not be stupid enough to provoke Yong State at this critical juncture.

However, no matter what the reason, since Nanling provoked, they had to bear the consequences of the provocation.

Emperor Wu Lie's eyes were heavy: "Dong Huang, what do you think?"

Yan Dong Huang's eyes fell on Feng Yaoguang's face.

One of them stood on the steps of the palace, and the other knelt at the bottom of the steps.

The distinction between the monarch and the minister was clear.

Yan Dong Huang handed the jade seal and the imperial edict to Rong Chun, then took out the order from his waist, walked down the steps slowly, and handed the order to Feng Yaoguang.

"I order you to organize the army tomorrow, lead Tianshu and Yaoguang 20,000 cavalry to the border, let King Wuyang obey your command, fight to the death with Nanling, and prove your innocence to the civil and military officials of Yong Dynasty!"

Feng Yaoguang kowtowed: "I obey your order! If I can't take Nanling within a year, I am willing to be punished by military law!"

Yan Donghuang raised his eyes slightly and said in a loud voice: "Call Gu Chiran."

Rong Chun announced loudly: "The Crown Princess has ordered to summon Tianshu General Gu Chiran to the palace!"

Gu Chiran, dressed in black military uniform, arrived at the hall and knelt on one knee: "I am here."

"I order you to be Feng Yaoguang's deputy general, and the Tianshu Army will obey Feng Yaoguang's dispatch and capture Nanling at all costs!"

"I obey your order!"

Feng Yaoguang and Gu Chiran saluted and both took their leave.

Yan Donghuang looked at the backs of the two people leaving side by side, silent for a moment, lowered his eyes to look at the post soldiers who were still kneeling in the palace, and deep thought appeared in his eyes.

When King Wuyang was young, he followed his father to quell civil strife and conquer the world. He made great contributions. After being named King Wuyang, he has been stationed in the southern border.

In the previous life, after Yan Ming ascended the throne, Yan Donghuang returned to the battlefield at the beginning of the year. He was not very clear about what happened in the capital, but one thing was certain-Yan Zhang's death was because of his correspondence with King Wuyang, and Yan Ming got solid evidence.

The prince was very close to the military generals guarding the border, which meant he intended to rebel.

Yan Zhang was successively demoted, imprisoned, and then demoted to a commoner for this crime, and finally died in depression.

So no matter which prince ascended the throne, Yan Zhang was unwilling to contact King Wuyang to seize power?

It's just that Nanling did not increase troops to question the crime in the previous life.

At least it didn't happen before Yan Donghuang died.

What does this mean?

"Today's coronation ceremony has been completed. From today on, the new emperor and the new dynasty will begin. All officials must serve the emperor loyally and love the people like their own children." Emperor Wu Lie stood up, "Dong Huang, this dragon throne belongs to you. Come and sit down."

"Father!" Yan Zhang said dissatisfiedly, "The matter of collusion with the enemy is not yet clear. I think-"

"I am the one who saved Feng Yaoguang. Do you want to say that I am colluding with the enemy?" Emperor Wu Lie looked at him coldly. "Yan Zhang roared in the hall and questioned the new emperor on the day when the new emperor ascended the throne. This is disrespectful. From now on, he will be demoted to a prince. He will reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors for three months and cannot leave the palace without an imperial decree!"

Yan Zhang froze, his face pale and weak, and he could no longer say a word.

Yan Donghuang retracted his gaze, looked at Yan Zhang expressionlessly, and turned to walk towards the dragon throne that symbolized the supreme status of the world.

Yan Ming was silent, staring at the dragon throne, and his resentment doubled.

If Yan Donghuang had not regretted it temporarily, this chair would have been his.

The person who should sit on the dragon throne and accept the worship of all officials should be him, not Yan Donghuang, a woman.

"After I abdicate, I will be the emperor eunuch. I will move to Linzhi Palace to retire. I will no longer ask about all the affairs of the court. The new emperor will have full authority." After saying this, Emperor Wu Lie turned around and helped the eunuch's hand to leave.

The ceremonial officer came to his senses and quickly said loudly: "All officials kneel to the new emperor!"

The princes who had just stood up knelt down again in anger after hearing this, and reluctantly worshipped with all the officials: "Long live our emperor!"

Yan Donghuang looked around the hall expressionlessly, his eyes were cold and distant, revealing a sense of oppression that could not be resisted.

From now on, the court will truly belong to Yan Donghuang.

All those who are dissatisfied must hold back.

All those who have ulterior motives will suffer the consequences.

"All the ministers stand up." She spoke slowly, her voice cold and majestic, "My imperial title is Fengwu, this year is the first year of Fengwu, I hope you will work with me to create a prosperous Fengwu era."

All the officials kowtowed in unison: "Long live our emperor, long live, long live!"

"Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
