Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound to see who dared to challenge the majesty of the Jade Emperor at this time.
But the first thing that caught his eye was a gorgeous and noble jet-black dragon robe, and then there was that face, although it had rather special facial features, but the outline of the facial features could vaguely be seen to be somewhat related to the Jade Emperor.
Especially at this moment, the two temperaments are very similar.
It was a deep-seated arrogance that regarded all the ministers present as ants.
Just like the man who was speaking, his eyes were always looking at the Jade Emperor on the thirty-three steps, seemingly unaware of everyone's gaze. As he took a step forward, a figure seemed to break through the space,
Teleport in front of him.
"Your Highness, this is different from what was discussed before."
The person who stopped him was the young eunuch, the only one other than Jade Emperor who knew that he was the eldest prince who failed to seize the throne decades ago, and was the uncle of the contemporary Emperor Xuan.
"It was him who crossed the line first." Yu Hengyuan said in a deep voice, and then glanced at Xu Xiao, "Besides, someone has already noticed my presence first."
"Oh?" The young eunuch looked in the direction of the other person's gaze and frowned slightly after noticing Xu Xiao.
"Five of you have come to Zhuguo. If you kill one and capture one, if you use the remaining three, then I won't have anyone available to you." Yu Hengyuan saw that the other party had murderous intentions and said.
This Chongtian Sacrificial Platform has actually always been within its territory.
What Yu Hengyuan understood was the field of illusion, which is similar to Qin Fan's second-level field of peach blossom purgatory. It can silently arouse the ambitions and desires deep in the hearts of others. This is also the legend that Yu Hengyuan and Yu Huangtian have discussed.
Bit ceremony.
Jade Emperor needs to face his ministers with a new identity while relinquishing the throne. Naturally, he cannot take away the inherent impressions of cowardice, gentleness, hesitation, etc. that he had when he stayed on the throne.
At the same time, Yu Hengyuan's appearance also needs to establish prestige again.
So it is obviously most appropriate to perform the surgery on these ministers present.
It's just that because of Xu Xiao's second-generation memory, after examining his heart many times, he noticed something was wrong. Of course, it was just a small problem on his side.
Yu Hengyuan did not continue to act according to the original role. The real key was that Yu Huangtian had the idea of packing Cao Changqing back to the enshrinement hall.
Is this clearly poaching people from his own subordinates, or is it the Shangzhu Kingdom that leads an army and has great strength? In this case, Yu Hengyuan will definitely not continue to stand stupidly, and in his opinion, destroying a Shangzhu Kingdom clan has already
enough.
But when he said these words, the Jade Emperor had already used the blessing of human virtue to transmit the message to the other party.
"Xu Xiao, it's still Cao Changqing."
"What do you mean?"
"Uncle, you said it yourself. Xu Xiao was aware of your existence first, which also means that he guessed at least one of our secret moves. Then Liu Zhengtang and his Wu Xun family were eventually labeled as rebellious and perished.
There is a bargaining chip that can be overturned. Although there is no so-called evidence, politics is sinister.
So now while the situation is under our control, we might as well kill another one."
"You are very similar to your father. No matter what their purpose was, they were truly loyal to you before."
Yu Hengyuan walked forward slowly. Even before he ascended the throne, he suppressed all the ministers unable to lift their heads just by relying on his own momentum.
At this time, no one would be stupid enough to question why the other party appeared here and was still wearing a dragon robe.
After Liu Zhengtang went crazy and wanted to depose the emperor, and then his head was crushed by Yu Huangtian in an understatement, all developments were beyond their control. Originally, these ministers wanted to unite to oppose Yu Huangtian's succession.
But now I still object to being a chicken. If I can survive today, I will be like Amitabha.
At the same time, due to the keen intuition of a warrior, Xu Xiao realized that his situation was not good.
In addition to the subsequent sound transmission, the conversation between Yu Hengyuan and the young eunuch just now was said in a carefree manner, so he vaguely felt that there was a high probability that he would be the next target.
In fact, every time a new Emperor Xuan comes to power, there will be a major reshuffle in the court. Even the five major kingdoms and the eight major families will inevitably be left out for a period of time. This is also the reason for those ministers who are eager to climb up.
A big carnival ahead.
After all, even if you have worked tirelessly as a 007 worker for decades, you can't compare to the blessings brought by these four words, 'The Minister Who Supports the Dragon'.
The reason why all the ministers were opposed to Emperor Xuan's passing on the throne at first was because they didn't even know who the successor would be, and they didn't have time to catch this rare carnival, so naturally they wanted everything to remain as it was.
Then, as the ministers watched tremblingly as Yu Hengyuan was about to approach Cao Changqing, who was still groaning on the ground, Xu Xiao suddenly stepped forward and gave him a solemn salute.
After this salute, he didn't say anything, but spontaneously stood behind Yu Hengyuan.
This move confused everyone, and when everyone came to their senses, they all secretly cursed Xu Xiao, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, for having shamelessly forced himself into the position of Minister of the Dragon!
The two people who were both from Shangzhu Kingdom were dumbfounded by his behavior.
Although one of the Shangzhu Kingdoms was wiped out just now, they still represent the pinnacle of power of the Great Xuanwu General. Except for the seventeenth generation of Emperor Xuan, none of the five great Shangzhu Kingdoms would come forward to lick them so unceremoniously.
Force it!
Usually, the successors, or the princes who intend to compete for the throne, meet with them in private and offer some benefits to win them over. They just hope that after confirming their accession to the throne, they can use the power of the military to help them pass this period smoothly and smoothly.
The most difficult period.
In other words, the five upper pillar countries will not get involved in the struggle for the throne, which has also created the deep arrogance in their hearts from generation to generation.
At this moment, although Xu Xiao's performance could not be regarded as breaking this rule, it did make them feel that they were undervalued.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Similarly, Xu Xiao also noticed the disdainful looks cast by the two Shang Zhuguo. He was in trouble and could not tell, let alone the vaguely guessed truth.
You must speak out, otherwise you will be asking for death.
Then a voice came to his ear.
"He's a boy from the Xu family, right? He's pretty good."
Xu Xiao quickly lowered his head and said:
"Meet Your Highness."
Now he has recalled the identity of the other party. Although he has the appearance of a natural overlord, he is praised by everyone in the court as a kind prince.
The other party's character is actually the most suitable to succeed to the throne, but it is precisely because of this self-confidence that Yu Hengyuan did not expect that he would eventually be overthrown by his brothers, and his followers and supporters were also under the control of Yu Huangtian.
After my father ascended the throne, he was all liquidated.
In other words, these courtiers present were either absolutely neutral, or they also participated in the battle for the right to inherit the throne, and because they successfully took sides, they shared in this delicious victory.
At this moment, when Yu Hengyuan took the initiative to talk to Xu Xiao, Yu Huangtian already understood the other party's choice.
"Yang Guo, please go to Jingying Tower to reflect on General Cao."
"yes."
Yang Guo stepped forward, first bowed to Yu Hengyuan, then helped Cao Changqing, who was still hesitating about what he wanted to say, and left the sacrificial platform in a few steps.
At this time, some veterans who had experienced three generations of emperor changes discovered Yu Hengyuan's identity.
"Your Highness...how is this...possible..."
The person who spoke was Cheng Baishuang, one of the six pavilion elders. He was also the oldest among the six. Before the way of heaven was unsealed, the upper limit of the path of literary practice was locked to scribes, and it was different from warriors and magicians.
different.
This realm will not bring about qualitative changes, nor will its life level jump, so its lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people.
Seeing that the end is approaching, if Cheng Baishuang hadn't accepted the information about the original owner of the destiny body and waited for the drastic changes in the world, he would have resigned from his post as Pavilion Elder and quietly waited for death at home.
[Cheng Baishuang, from "The Fighting Sword in the Snow".
He was a scholar of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, a first-class romantic Confucian scholar. When the Southern Tang Dynasty was not destroyed, he was just a scholar who went on study tours. After the fall of the country, he began to practice martial arts and became the number one master in southern Xinjiang.
During the Liang-Mang War, Cheng Baishuang entered Liang and entered the Great Celestial Realm due to the grace of the Zhang family saint. However, he could no longer become a Confucian saint, but he had no regrets.
When the national crisis hit, the elderly scholar Cheng Baishuang went to Beiliang. At the foot of Jubei City, Cheng Baishuang tried his best to stop the arrows and siege stones that filled the sky in Beimang. He was the first to die in the battle at the rear.
During Cheng Baishuang's lifetime, not a single boulder or crossbow arrow fell into Jubei City in Beimang. Cheng Baishuang was worthy of Confucianism and worthy of the world. He shouldered the responsibility of a scholar. Who can say that he was not a well-deserved Confucian sage.]
Yu Hengyuan looked at the other person's face, which was much older but also somewhat familiar, and felt quite emotional.
He saluted solemnly and said:
"Master Cheng, long time no see."
Cheng Baishuang was once in charge of his enlightenment studies, and later he was not the prince's tutor. However, Yu Hengyuan always kept in mind the other party's teachings, and it was because of Cheng Baishuang as a teacher that he walked on the path of a benevolent king.
Although this path is a failure.
But Yu Hengyuan was still very grateful to him.
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." Cheng Baishuang's tone was choked with sobs, and then he bowed solemnly, "Old minister Cheng Baishuang, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness."
Yu Hengyuan sighed and moved forward to help him up.
Then he glanced at the other five pavilion elders, none of whom were unfamiliar faces. Three of them were strong supporters of his good brother, which made him subconsciously narrow his eyes.
The five pavilion elders also saluted together. They have now seen the situation clearly. The so-called successor is the one who was recognized by the world as having died at the hands of the previous Emperor Xuan decades ago due to the failure of the battle for the throne.
The eldest prince.
As for why the other party is still alive.
They don't understand, and they don't have the curiosity to find out.
Just like they had known the previous Emperor Xuan for decades, and even personally supported the current Emperor Xuan to ascend to the throne, with the thinking patterns of their ministers, they could not guess the thoughts of any emperor.
Perhaps the only good thing is that the eldest prince was once known as the benevolent prince, and it was even rumored that he would be a benevolent prince for eternity.
But later in the imperial city, there was another legend of a dragon in troubled times.
And Yu Hengyuan's failure must not only be caused by this rumor, so after decades, the ministers consciously abandoned this absurd statement at first sight, and still sincerely expected that a benevolent and easy-to-talk person would ascend the throne.
Bit.
Then everyone noticed that Yu Hengyuan was staring at a pavilion elder, silently.
"Your Highness, what happened in the past..." Cheng Baishuang said quickly upon seeing this.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was suppressed in place by an extremely terrifying aura.
"Engineer, I need to give them an explanation."
The moment Yu Hengyuan turned his head to look at Cheng Baishuang, a black dragon with teeth and claws appeared behind him. The most terrifying thing was that there were three pupils in each of the two eye frames of the black dragon!
Compared to the five-clawed golden dragon that is still flying in the sky, this black dragon's appearance exudes a gloomy aura, and is like a mountain that is about to collapse, falling heavily on everyone's hearts.
"Gu Wenyu, you once assassinated 439 family members and friends of my followers, and even used their lives to force them to betray me. I still remember one person who chose not to obey, and then you took the skin of a child who was not yet one month old.
Scrape it off alive.
Then through a series of frame-ups, he was forced to commit suicide to prove his innocence."
"Your Highness, even if you are going to ascend the throne, you still need evidence." Gu Wenyu was not nervous at all and looked into his eyes calmly. However, when he looked at the huge dragon head on the Dharma behind him from the corner of his eye, there was a trace of intensity in the depths of his pupils.
fluctuation.
Then he suddenly stiffly twisted his neck and stared blankly at the three slightly rotating pupils in the pair of dragon eyes on the dragon's head.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His breathing became more rapid, and his eyes were filled with blood.
"You..." Li Taike frowned slightly. At such a close distance, compared to before, Yu Hengyuan only activated the power of the field subtly and did not maximize its effectiveness. This also made Li Taike noticeably aware.
Something is wrong.
But just as he was about to speak, the five-clawed golden dragon that was hovering freely in the sky suddenly stared at him, along with a terrifying pressure that locked it in place.
And there was a voice in his ear.
"Prime Minister, do you want one person to die, or three people to die?"
Decades ago, Li Taike was just a schoolboy in the Wensheng Temple and did not have a deep understanding of the dangerous political struggles within the court. However, after becoming the prime minister, he also learned some information with the help of his authority.
So he knew what Yuhuangtian meant, that among the three elders who had supported the appointment of Emperor Xuan, only Gu Wenyu died, so the other two would be fine.
Otherwise, not only would he not be able to stop Yu Hengyuan, but Yu Huangtian, whose true nature had been exposed and was vaguely showing a terrifying and murderous nature, would also end up personally.
At this moment, he felt that all the pressure around him had dissipated, but the steps he was about to take suddenly stopped.
When he was looking through the recorded historical files, he also felt that beneath the pale words, there were numerous bones buried, and the records in each volume carried the shocking darkness of the dynasty.
If he could go back another thirty years, he would be desperate to make some changes.
But after becoming the prime minister, he realized how difficult this road was, and belatedly realized that the young man in purple robe with whom he once leisurely fished could suppress the entire court with one person.
, his methods and wisdom are so terrifying and unparalleled.
