Ancestor Above

Li Chengzong sat in a closed room, this small room with a radius of no more than ten feet, compared with his former prince's palace, it must be very different.

But he has always maintained a relatively stable mentality.

What gave him the most confidence was the conversation with Lu Chaoxi last time. A few days after the conversation, he thought about this matter carefully, and felt that his hopes should be much greater than those of his nephew.

That being the case, what is there to worry about?

Especially in the later period, the Lu family suddenly reduced everyone's right to freedom, and did not allow the guarded Li clan members to run around at will. Originally they were allowed to move around the mansion, but now they are not allowed to leave this small room.

For Li Chengzong, he naturally became more at ease. Even if Li Xuanhao still has some flirty tricks, even this ten-foot small room is inseparable, so what is there to talk about?

Sitting in this small room and not being able to go out, Li Chengzong stayed here with peace of mind during this time, sitting cross-legged on the futon for a long time, practicing with peace of mind. His mentality was as steady as an old dog, and he didn't panic at all, just waiting for Lu's family to inform him about becoming emperor.

Inheriting the Great Treasure and ascending to the throne... This has been his dream for many, many years. Although the way to achieve it is a bit different, it was something he hadn't thought of before, but it was realized after all, wasn't it?

Thinking about it this way, I still feel a little excited!

After waiting like this for some time, one day, Li Chengzong heard a sound outside his door, and then heard a knock on the door.

A slightly familiar voice came in: His Royal Highness, may I come in?

After thinking for a while, Li Chengzong remembered who the voice was: it should be Lu Wenen.

His heart was a little excited, it was finally coming!

This is the outsider he has seen during this period of time, and the only ones who regularly send some regular supplies, such as spiritual food, elixirs, and the like. Although he was also a monk of the Lu family, he was only in the foundation building stage, at best he was an ordinary clansman, and his status would not be very high.

But Lu Wenen is different.

As far as Li Chengzong knew, Lu Wenen, among the Lu family, had high-level talents in cultivation, and his status was not low, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with the important task of sending him to Yandu to undertake the investigation without a face-to-face meeting.

at the moment

He came here in person, presumably there was something important to tell him.

Maybe this is the long-awaited thing?

Li Chengzong's heart became hot.

Lu Wenen had a gentle smile on his face: After discussions between the Lu family, Qingfengmen and Yunxiaozong, it is decided that His Royal Highness, you, will inherit the throne in five days.

Hearing the words 'inherit the throne', the joy in Li Chengzong's heart surged like a fountain.

No matter how sure you are before, if this matter is not settled, you will still feel a little uneasy in your heart.

Now, I finally have a reassurance that I can take.

But then he felt something was wrong, and he asked, Is he going to inherit the throne in five days? Is the time too hasty? Is there time to make preparations in such a short time?

It is normal for Li Chengzong to have such doubts. Although he did not witness the scene when his father Li Shiwen inherited the throne. However, judging from the records in some ancient books, the ceremony for the succession of the emperor of Dayan should be very grand and complicated, and obviously there is no way to prepare it in a few days.

Lu Wen explained: The matter is in a hurry. We don't have so much time to prepare. After discussing these formalities, we decided to suspend the decision. We can ignore them for the time being. The most important thing is to finalize the title first.

In this regard, Li Chengzong also expressed his understanding.

It is true that now is an extraordinary period, and he can understand the Lu family's and Yunxiaozong's desire to settle things early. For this reason, it is not unacceptable to ignore some red tape.

However, what Lu Wenen said next made his heart cool down instantly.

The preparation time is very short, and it is indeed a bit hasty. However, your highness, the crown prince, does not need such a grand ceremony. After all, the more important thing is the abdication ceremony in three months' time.

Abdication ceremony? What does the abdication ceremony mean?

Li Chengzong was numb. He wondered if he had heard something wrong.

Lu Wenen's expression didn't change much, he still had that gentle smile. But in Li Chengzong's eyes, this smile was so hateful.

He suddenly stood up from the futon and glared at Lu Wenen. The spiritual power in his body boiled with his emotions, as if he was about to shoot with anger at any time.

His Royal Highness, please calm down. You should also be able to imagine that no one in the entire Yan Kingdom can object to the decision made by Yunxiaozong and Qingfeng Sect together. If Your Royal Highness, you don't want to be the emperor for these three months, let's go to the emperor. The grandson Li Xuanhao is also the same. If Li Xuanhao is not willing, there are so many members of the Li family, there will always be one who will be willing. If none of them are willing, then just find someone, as the Li family, to be the three It's not impossible for the Emperor of the Moon.

I would like to advise you, His Royal Highness, that those who know the current affairs are heroes. You have been the emperor for these three months, and you can become the patriarch of the Li clan in the future. After the Zen throne, you will be named An Le Gong, at least there will be a fortune You can enjoy it. If it is not appropriate, you may not be able to survive for three months. How to choose, please His Highness the Crown Prince to consider for himself. I will ask you again in the evening, and I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can give me a clear answer then.

After saying this, Lu Wenen didn't say anything more to Li Chengzong, turned around and left.

Watching Lu Wenen leave, Li Chengzong, who was still furious just now, felt that all the strength in his body had been drained. Feeling powerless, he slumped backwards and fell to the ground.

What Lu Wenen said just now had really hit him too hard.

Li Chengzong never imagined that there would be such things as abdication, usurpation of the throne, and change of dynasty. It was like a brain teaser for him, touching a blind spot in his thinking. Before that, he hadn't even thought about it.

Although Lu Wenen didn't say who he should give way to, he could easily guess after the blind spot in his thinking was broken. The object of his abdication should be the Lu family, but it's hard to say which one is from the Lu family.

But who is it, and what does it have to do with him?

The emperor's position, which was firmly in hand, is gone.

Oh, it's not gone, in fact, he is still wanted to be the emperor, but only for three months, and after a transition, abdication is always better than robbery. What a beautiful dream for thousands of years, completely shattered; not even a puppet emperor.

In any case, what Li Chengzong didn't expect the most was that he hadn't become the emperor for the time being, but he was already destined to be the last emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, the Li Dynasty...

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I was sweating all over my body on a hot day, my hands and feet were cold, and tears flowed down my face.

...

In the evening, according to what he said before, Lu Wenen arrived on time.

And after almost half a day of calmness, Li Chengzong also calmed down a lot, and at the same time thought clearly.

Don't look at Lu Wenen's polite appearance when he came to him today, and what he said, I'll wait for your reply tonight, but Li Chengzong knew very clearly that he had no choice.

Even if he suddenly changed his nature and wanted to die to show that he would not be the last emperor, or the slightly insulting 'An Le Gong', then he would not be able to prevent the Yan Kingdom from changing its dynasty from the Li Dynasty to the Lu Dynasty.

It's nothing more than another person, but take this role.

Then... let me be the 'An Le Gong' myself.

After getting a clear answer, Lu Wenen chatted with the Crown Prince for a few words, and then left.

To be honest, Lu Wenen didn't have any bad feelings towards Li Chengzong. Even, five or six years ago, when he first came to Yandu, he seemed to have received some care from Li Chengzong secretly.

But this matter has nothing to do with personal feelings, and it is impossible for Lu Wenen to deviate from the family's position.

What's more, if you really want to talk about personal feelings, it's not that deep.

Lu Wenen has been extremely busy these days. I came to see Li Chengzong twice today, but I really took time out of my busy schedule to come here.

Now, he can be regarded as the person in the Lu family who is most familiar with the situation in Yandu. Not only has he stayed in Yandu for more than six years, the most important thing is that he has served as Tingwei Zuojian for many years. During his tenure, he led a team in Yandu, and was very active, investigating cases and arresting people to find clues. With intentions, he has a relatively deep understanding of the entire Yandu, whether it is the geographical environment or various intricate forces.

But now, 20,000 monks from Feiyunzhou are stationed in Yandu, and 300 monks from the direct line of the Lu family have come, and almost all of them have come out in full force. Counting the five golden elixirs in Feiyun Prefecture, their strength is firmly crushing the current Yandu.

But no matter what, the nature of the guest army cannot escape.

In the short term, it will be difficult for the Lu family to figure out who will be the enemy and who will be the friend in Yandu. All kinds of complicated political forces are enough to make people feel dizzy.

However, Li Chengzong's enthronement ceremony in five days' time and the abdication ceremony in three months' time cannot be delayed.

In order to prevent someone from making trouble secretly, Lu Wenen must shoulder the responsibility without hesitation.

First of all, he had to ensure that the enthronement ceremony five days later was normal; secondly, things would be more difficult three months later.

For this reason, he seconded a lot of people from his family and Qingfengmen.

The first thing he did was to integrate the Tingwei Mansion.

This is the last official armed force in Yandu, except for the Garrison Army and the Habayashi Imperial Army.

At the same time, due to the particularity of Tingwei Mansion, this team is in the hands, which is of great significance for the next security and stability maintenance work.
