Xia Chen ignored everyone and walked towards the Nine Turns Exquisite Tower with heavy steps. After his anger was released, there was endless sadness.
In the Nine-turn Exquisite Tower is his goddess, the woman he loves.
He already possesses the most powerful power in the world, but he sees his lover die in front of him. This is really a huge irony.
As he walked, Xia Chen couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Shi Yan, if I can't resurrect you, my life will be meaningless..."
Everyone looked at his back and felt the great sadness. Suddenly, they felt that the backbone that could hold up the entire sky had become lonely and desolate at this moment. The contrast between the two was so great that everyone felt sad.
Xia Chen walked to the Nine Turns Linglong Pagoda and his expression changed because he found that the imperial guard was still standing in front of the pagoda, motionless.
It was this imperial guard who was foolishly loyal to the Tang Emperor and killed Tang Shiyan with his own hands.
"Didn't you swear the inner demon's poisonous oath?" Xia Chen said sternly, "Why are you still alive? Do you want me to kill you personally to prove your inner demon's poisonous oath?"
The imperial guard looked at him without fear, and suddenly smiled slightly: "I obeyed the poisonous oath of my inner demon, why can't I live?"
"You..." Xia Chen pointed at him, and the shell stuck as soon as he said the first word.
His heart was beating wildly, and his expression was even a little deformed. The huge and unknown surprise was like Halley's Comet, falling from the sky, beating him to pieces and making him dizzy.
The imperial guard smiled and said: "You killed eight of my brothers. I just wanted to make you sad. It's not too much."
Xia Chen didn't bother to talk to him. He stretched out his hand and slapped it. With a bang, the Nine-turn Exquisite Tower instantly rose into the sky. It fell into his hand and turned into a pagoda imprint and disappeared.
Tang Shiyan was like a sleeping goddess, lying peacefully on the ground as smooth as a mirror.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her pair of alluring eyes slowly opened, seeing the sky again.
The beauty of that moment was enough to become eternity, fixed in Xia Chen's eyes.
"Shi Yan..." Xia Chen said in a trembling voice.
"Xia Chen..." Tang Shiyan sat up, a trace of confusion flashed across her beautiful eyes, which soon turned into joy.
Xia Chen laughed silently. He stepped forward and hugged her tightly, tears falling freely.
Real laughter turns out to be filled with tears.
…
After a long time, the two people hugging each other slowly separated.
Xia Chen looked at the imperial guard with questions in his eyes. At that time, he clearly saw that the imperial guard had made a heavy move. What on earth was going on?
"Not everyone is loyal to the Tang Emperor. We didn't resist because we couldn't resist, but it doesn't mean that we don't want to resist. When you appeared, I had hope, so I wanted to stimulate you and let you defeat completely.
That guy who lives in dignity, of course, made Princess Guan Ning a little wronged, and I'm sorry."
The imperial guard turned and walked out of the palace. As he walked, he said easily: "I am a strong man. I want to live, and I also want to have dignity, but if I want to have dignity, the prerequisite is that I want to live. I had no hope before. Now,
I can finally live my own life, and of course, it’s all thanks to you.”
"I'm sorry, I killed eight of your brothers..." Xia Chen said.
"Those who are foolishly loyal to the Emperor of Tang are pitiful people. They should die early and be freed early." The imperial guard did not turn around, "Besides, I also scared you. I can't scare a peerless strong man like you to tears."
, I am also very proud, hahaha..."
He laughed loudly and disappeared in an instant.
There is almost no place in this world that he cannot go to.
Xia Chen watched his back go away, and suddenly felt a little envious in his heart.
This is a truly strong man, capable of bending and stretching. I can lower my head to survive, but I will still do whatever it takes for the dignity I can obtain.
"I killed your father, don't you blame me?" Looking back, Xia Chen whispered.
Tang Shiyan shook her head: "From the moment he sent me to the clan mansion, he is no longer my father. No matter how you deal with him, I will not blame you. You value your own majesty higher than
The fate of all people will be extremely miserable."
Although she briefly lost consciousness just now, she could understand what was going on even if she guessed.
At this time, all the courtiers came together. Although Xia Chen killed the Tang Emperor forcefully, everyone was not afraid of him compared to the mysterious and majestic emperor.
At least, this young man did not value dignity above all else, nor did he kill innocent people indiscriminately because of his own preferences.
Tang Zhen, Tang Xuan, and Princess Tianjue all looked a little unnatural. A few hours ago, Xia Chen was an ant that they could easily kill, but now, Xia Chen is estimated to be able to kill them all in one move.
Next, Xia Chen should support Wan Ning to take the throne... several people thought sadly. They did not have the capital to fight against Xia Chen, but at the same time they felt relaxed. Although the throne was a temptation, it was also a heavy burden.
burden.
"Let's go, Shi Yan." Xia Chen said.
Tang Shiyan nodded. After Emperor Tang died, her soul was freed. From then on, she and Xia Chen wandered around the world freely.
Tang Zhen and others were startled.
"Hey, um...Xia Chen, aren't you ready to let Wan Ning become the emperor?" Tang Xuan asked in shock.
"I'm not from the Tang Dynasty. I don't have any say in which of you becomes emperor." Xia Chen shook his head.
"I have long said that I will not fight for the throne." Tang Shiyan also said calmly, "Whoever you want to be the emperor, let him be, but don't be like that person and end up being nailed to the city gate."
Tang Xuan and Princess Tianjue's faces turned pale, but Emperor Tang was still hanging at the city gate. This warning was indeed a profound lesson that they could never forget.
Tang Zhen looked happy. Tang Shiyan did not fight for the throne, Xia Chen did not care, and Tang Xuan and Princess Tianjue were not as good as him in cultivation, so only he could inherit the throne.
"Your Highness Wan Ning, you can't leave, you can't leave Datang alone." Suddenly, an old minister with a gray beard stood up and said seriously.
"Prime Minister Wen is right, Your Highness Wan Ning, now that the late emperor has passed away, the Tang Dynasty cannot live without a king for a day. If you leave again, the court will be in chaos. Although the late emperor deserves this end, he is to blame himself, but the Tang Dynasty
This is the place where His Highness was born and raised, you cannot ignore it." Another minister also stood up.
"Please also ask His Highness Wan Ning to consider the common people of the Tang Dynasty and stay for the time being for the sake of the stability of the court." Another military general also stood up.
"Please ask Your Highness Wan Ning to stay and become the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." All the courtiers said in unison, but they ignored Tang Zhen, Tang Xuan and Princess Tian Jue.
Tang Zhen's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Emperor Tang had turned into a statue, and he was the most suitable candidate for the throne. Couldn't these old guys see that they were really a bunch of old immortals?
Tang Shiyan was also very surprised. She pointed at Tang Zhen and others and said: "The emperor has many children. Above me, there are Tang Zhen, Tang Xuan, Tian Jue and others. You can choose the heir to the throne from among them, why do you choose alone?
Fuck me?"
All the courtiers smiled bitterly. After looking at each other for a few times, they all focused on Prime Minister Wen.
Prime Minister Wen glanced at everyone with a look of embarrassment on his face. He thought for a while before hesitatingly said: "Your Highness Wan Ning, the Tang Dynasty has experienced great changes today. The late emperor... the imperial guards and guards suffered heavy losses. We can only find someone who can shock the kings."
Only the heirs of other ninth-level supernatural power masters can prevent the court from being turbulent. Otherwise, if any one of the eldest prince, ninth prince, and His Highness Tian Jue takes the throne, someone may have strange thoughts..."
He stopped abruptly at this point, but Tang Shiyan understood what he meant. She couldn't help but show a wry smile, glanced at Xia Chen, and said to herself that this was all the trouble caused by you, and it turned out to be a mess.
Xia Chen came to his senses and had a look of helplessness on his face. He didn't expect that by beating Emperor Tang into a photo, the result would be a leaderless situation.
No wonder those courtiers want Tang Shiyan to be the emperor. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Tang Shiyan is the emperor or not. The key is that someone has the strength to suppress the kings. In fact, they are here for him.
Tang Shiyan showed hesitation. Naturally, she didn't want to be an emperor, and it would be thankless to bother with it. However, if the Tang Dynasty was plunged into turmoil, it was not what she wanted to see.
However, if you agree to the courtiers, you will be looking for trouble for yourself, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape in this life.
After all, Prime Minister Wen was always older and wiser. When he saw her hesitation, he knew what she was thinking. His brows furrowed slightly and then relaxed. Then he walked to Tang Shiyan and whispered a few words.
Tang Shiyan nodded slightly and glanced at Xia Chen unconsciously, with a slight blush.
Xia Chen's heart suddenly tightened, and he suddenly felt a happy feeling of being plotted against.
Ten days later, the Tang court issued an edict to the world that the Tang Emperor had died, and the eldest prince Tang Zhen succeeded to the throne and became the 109th emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, Princess Guan Ning got married, and the imperial court named her consort Xia Chen the great regent.
The Great Regent does not control the court, nor does he participate in the government affairs, but he holds the Jade Seal of the Tang Dynasty. When deemed necessary, he can deprive the emperor of his power, control the military power, and frighten the kings and heirs.
In fact, it means that the Supreme Emperor can not only control the emperor, but also supervise the kings and other powerful people.
If the kings and princes are disobedient, the emperor can also force them in the name of the great regent.
In this way, the court was stabilized, the emperor was succeeded, the kings did not dare to be disobedient, and the only high-ranking regent was not in the court. The four parties temporarily reached a balance.
After Tang Shiyan and Xia Chen's wedding, there was Tang Zhen's enthronement ceremony.
Tang Zhen finally became the emperor, and he felt very happy. Although the regent poked his head above his head, and he did not live up to his title of emperor, he was still the emperor after all.
Moreover, Tang Zhen also had his own thoughts. Sitting on the Dragon Throne was equivalent to possessing the palace, the ultimate magic weapon.
His strength was originally at the level of a marshal. After possessing two top-quality magic weapons and the addition of the dragon robe, his strength was not weaker than that of a prince-level ninth-level magical powerhouse. Except for Xia Chen, there was almost no one in the world who could compete with him.
people.
After another hundred years of hard training, his strength gradually increased and he was able to suppress the kings.
Tang Xuan and Tian Jue failed to compete with Tang Zhen. Although they were disappointed, they were not as strong as each other after all, so they were mentally prepared.
And although Tang Zhen was considered arrogant, he was still much freer compared to Tang Huang's style where he put his authority above all else and kept everyone else under his high-pressure control.
At least, they no longer have the depressing feeling of facing the former Tang Emperor. (To be continued...)
