Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 320 The gods have no masters, Wei Wangcheng is a big hit
The Ziying sword went out to the sea like a dragon, turned into a bright sword light, and went straight to Chihu real person.

Real Chihu, who was running away, suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from behind, his scalp exploded, and he subconsciously reversed the Immortal Slashing Sword to meet him.

The two sword lights had just fought against each other, and the winner was already determined.

But seeing Ziying's sword light soaring, twisting on the spot, the sword light of Zhanxian has been shredded, causing the latter to fall to the ground weakly, jumping, losing his spirituality, and turning into a piece of ordinary iron.

In the eyes of the top-grade Jindan, there is no difference between the great cultivator in the late stage of the soul and the chicken and dog.

"you!!!"

Real Chihu was both shocked by Li Yingqiong's cultivation and angered by Qianyuan's betrayal, but before he could say the second word, he was decapitated by Ziying Jianxiao.

Even the storage ring on his hand was swept away by Jian Guang.

After killing the real Chihu, Yingqiong sheathed her sword and stood quietly behind Qianyuan, just like a normal person, not paying attention to the shocked gazes cast from all around.

For Yingqiong, this is just a piece of cake.

Until then, Xing Bu, the commander of the imperial guards, led his troops to the scene of the assassination, looking at the new emperor lying in a pool of blood and the assassin who was decapitated, he was inexplicably horrified.

Everyone didn't know what to do.

Capture the assassin?

The Assassin is already dead and can't die anymore.
Not to mention Xingbu and others, even King Wei, King Yan, and Princess Qingcheng didn't recover from the great changes in front of them, and all of them looked dull.

King Wei and King Yan had escaped to the edge of the garden under the protection of their guards.

Very embarrassing.

At this moment, Qian Yuan stood up and said in a deep voice: "General Xingbu, Your Majesty was assassinated. If there are still assassins left, please block the Sifang Pavilion immediately."

"promise!"

Xingbu bowed subconsciously. The incident happened so suddenly that he had no time to think about it.

"Not only the Sifang Pavilion, but also the entire capital of the gods, and thoroughly investigate this matter." After being told by Qian Yuan, Princess Qingcheng has also recovered from her senses, but her expression is still sad.

The one who died was the elder brother of her mother, so this matter cannot be left alone.

"The last will obey!"

…………

Taking advantage of the vacancy when the imperial guards sealed off the scene, King Wei and King Yan also turned back, joined Qianyuan and Princess Qingcheng, and entered a room in the Sifang Pavilion.

The atmosphere in the room was a little weird.

After calming down, the four of them suddenly discovered that the people with the most say in the Daqian royal family had gathered together. After the death of the new emperor, they became the most important combination in the empire.

It is completely possible to determine the next emperor of the empire.

Unlike Qianyuan and the other vassal kings, the new emperor had not long since ascended the throne, and had already given birth to his son, Qianrui, who was less than five years old this year.

If it were in peacetime, Qian Ruidao might also ascend the throne.

But when is it now?
There are threats from the Zhulong Kingdom, Beidi Kingdom, and Kraken outside the empire, and there are vassal lords in the empire. Not to mention Qian Yuan and other powerful vassals will not agree, and even the ministers of the court will not support such a small lord to ascend the throne.

That would only hurt him.

That being the case, who is the right candidate for the next emperor?

King Wei, King Yan, or King Qin?

These should be the three best candidates for the empire at present. If the remaining princes and county kings who stayed in the capital of God jump out at this time, they will only bring shame on themselves.

The four looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them spoke.

This issue is too sensitive.

Among the three candidates, Qian Yuan is undoubtedly the one who attracts the most attention, and the eyes of the other three are all focused on Qian Yuan as if nothing.

Everyone knew very well that if a new emperor was to be elected among the three feudal lords, Qian Yuan would undoubtedly be the best candidate.

Wenzhiwugong is unmatched by anyone.

The problem is, it is now in the capital of God, not in the fiefdom of Qianyuan. As the most senior king of the empire, with the full support of the family group, King Wei and King Yan also have the capital to compete for the throne.

Especially the king of Wei, who was originally a hot candidate for the crown prince.

Once the king of Wei ascended the throne, the court now has five counties, plus the two counties in the western region under his name, it will be seven counties.

Therefore, after waking up from the assassination of the new emperor, Wei Wang's heart became hot all of a sudden, and his gaze towards Qian Yuan was even more hidden with sparks.

King Wei knew that Qian Yuan was the biggest stumbling block preventing him from ascending the throne. As for King Yan, he was not taken seriously by King Wei.

The smell of gunpowder in the air became more intense.

At this moment, Princess Qingcheng suddenly looked at Qianyuan and said, "Fifth brother, I haven't thanked your subordinates for killing the assassin on the spot and maintaining the last bit of face of the empire."

If the assassins were allowed to escape, the Empire would lose face.

King Wei's eyes were fixed.

Princess Qingcheng's words at this time seem to have other meanings in it. Does this mean that Princess Qingcheng has chosen to side with Qianyuan in the upcoming competition for the throne?
As an imperial princess, in charge of the Fish Dragon Guard, and the sister of the late emperor, she is one of the main decision-makers behind the scenes of the imperial court. No one can ignore Princess Qingcheng's influence in the divine capital.

The same is true.

If Princess Qingcheng had to choose among the three kings, she would choose Qianyuan without hesitation.

This is not because of her little friendship with Qianyuan, but because Princess Qingcheng knows very well that the precarious empire needs a strong man like Qianyuan to stand up and turn the tide.

Any other one would only slowly drag the empire into the abyss.

From the beginning to the end, Qian Yuan's expression was calm, showing the calmness of an imperial vassal, "The incident happened suddenly, I am ashamed that I couldn't save His Majesty, and I should not be grateful."

Princess Qingcheng nodded silently and said nothing more.

Then, there was another awkward silence...

Seeing that nothing can be discussed today, the four of them chatted awkwardly for a while, and then they left immediately and went back home. Next, there are too many things for them to think about and deal with.

got windy.

…………

Just when the people of Shendu were looking forward to the outcome of the "four-party talks", the news of His Majesty's assassination suddenly came out, causing an uproar in the government and the public.

Fortunately, the imperial guards blocked the city gate in time to maintain order, otherwise, there might be some troubles.

The identity of the assassin was also revealed immediately. No one thought that the real Chihu would be so "repaying for his kindness" that he would avenge the dead King of Chu.

Thinking about the performance of the rest of the kings after the death of King Chu, it is inevitable that people are embarrassed.

But sighs are sighs.

People seem to be able to foresee what a cruel fate the Kunlun sect members who are still staying in Kunwu Mountain will face after the death of Master Chihu.

It is reported that War Soul, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, has immediately sent an order to the Chu King Army stationed in Kunwu County to immediately surround Kunwu Mountain, arrest all the Kunlun faction and escort them back to Beijing.

"If there is any resistance, I will kill you without mercy!" War Soul said coldly.

In addition, Princess Qingcheng has also dispatched fish and dragon guards to cooperate, and must not let any fish slip through the net.This time, Princess Qingcheng was really angry.

Kunlun School,
Doomed to be buried with this assassination.

Of course, Chihu Zhenren and the Kunlun Sect are not the focus of public opinion. At most, they are just a little gossip. People are more concerned about who will be the next emperor after His Majesty's death.

It just so happens that the three vassal kings are all in the capital of God, which inevitably makes people's imagination run wild.

For a time, there were different opinions.

The people in Shendu are just joining in the fun and having a good time. Everyone knows that the ministers, aristocratic families, and princes and nobles who can really determine the ownership of the throne.

It has nothing to do with ordinary people.

…………

night, palace.

Prime Minister Xu Kang obeyed the Queen Mother's order and rushed to the palace overnight to have an audience.

In the cold and quiet palace, apart from the current empress dowager and prime minister Xu Kang, there is also a young empress who is holding a little boy less than five years old in her arms, sobbing softly.

At the beginning, in order to prevent the queen from taking the throne, the powerful Empress Dowager Xu specially selected a distant relative from her family to ensure the honor of the Xu family in the next life.

In terms of seniority, the queen should be called the queen mother's aunt.

"Father, is it true that Rui'er cannot ascend the throne?" Empress Dowager Xu looked unwilling.

As the saying goes: Mother is more valuable than her son.

The original Concubine Xu Xian finally ascended to the throne with her son Ganshen, surpassing the other concubines of the former emperor in one fell swoop, becoming the true master of the harem, enjoying unimaginable wealth and honor.

How could you be willing to just give in like this?

Empress Xu is not yet 70 years old, and in a high-magic plane like Yu Yutian, as long as she manages it properly, she still has at least four or fifty years of glory and wealth.

She hasn't had enough of it.

Xu Kang seemed to be much older. After hearing what Empress Dowager Xu said, he angrily said: "Confused! It's already this time, how can you still have such thoughts? If I still want to find a good death for you, Ruier, and the Xu family, Tomorrow we should issue a decree asking Rui'er to voluntarily withdraw from the competition for the throne."

Why doesn't Empress Dowager Xu know how weird the current court situation is.

According to Xu Kang's knowledge, just after the news of His Majesty's assassination and death spread, in just one afternoon, more than [-] heads of aristocratic families successively entered the gate of Wei Wangfu.

Depending on the situation, the family group has reached an agreement in the shortest possible time and is ready to push Wei Wang out.

Driven by this powerful force, not to mention the Xu family, even His Royal Highness Qin Wang, who has been in the limelight recently, is afraid that he will leave the capital in despair this time.

In the whole afternoon, except for Changsun Yun, no one came to visit Prince Qin's mansion.

undoubtedly,

This is the aristocratic family group giving King Qin a disarm, making King Qin retreat in the face of difficulties.

If Qian Rui was older, he would be at least fifteen or sixteen years old. With the management of Xu's family in Shendu and Xu Kang's management in the court, it might be possible to compete.

Now?

Looking at the infant, Xu Kang shook his head bitterly.

Xu Kang seems to have foreseen that with the accession of King Wei, the former Prime Minister Dugu Zhen will be restored again, and he probably can only go home to retire.

This is the law, and no one can violate it.

Looking at her old father, Empress Dowager Xu suddenly shuddered. She also remembered the former Empress Dugu who was almost thrown into the cold by her...
