Chapter 742: Winning the Throne (11)
On this day, it is finally the starting day of the succession.
A majestic sacrificial platform stands majestically on the outskirts of Hangjia City, several carved dragons soar, huge stone pillars with the pattern of nine heavens on the phoenix go straight into the sky, and the flat mirror-like ground has long been covered with a red carpet.
The blue sky is like a wash, the sky is cloudless, and the howling wind comes from afar, and the blood-red banner of the Hanchuan Empire is blowing.
Ten thousand monks of the Hanchuan Empire, dressed in uniform black power suits, gathered around the huge altar.
Tens of millions of people, breathing uniformly, breathing the same, breathing in and out, seem to be able to roll this piece of the world.
Directly below the sacrificial rooftop, the four most outstanding princes of the Hanchuan Empire, who had already bathed and changed their clothes, had solemn and serious faces, and stood with their heads bowed in order of eldest and youngest, solemnly looking up at the direction of the sacrificial roof.
There was a master of ceremonies' hard cry: "The head of the Liu family, Liu is here with the wind!"
"Gao Yufan, the head of the Gao family, has arrived!"
"The Li family's Li Jili is here!"
……
The first battle for the succession of the Hanchuan Empire in hundreds of years has almost become the largest and most lively event in Hangjia City, in addition to the four major palaces and the six major families, the rest of the Xiuzhen family with a certain amount of power will naturally not be disdainful, all of them are personally brought by the head of the family.
Naturally, the palace guards who received the guests ushered these guests into their arranged positions, sat down to drink tea and wait.
Half an hour before and after, the heads of the six families all arrived.
A green light flashed, and Shangguan Honglie, the contemporary emperor of the Hanchuan Empire, appeared at the top of the sacrificial roof with dozens of imperial worshippers whose strength had reached the middle stage of the Great Perfection of Distraction.
As soon as Shangguan Honglie appeared, all the monks present stood up one after another, clasped their fists and saluted.
Shangguan Honglie glanced at the four princes and the leaders of the six major families with blazing eyes, nodded slightly, and shouted loudly: "Today is a big day for my Hanchuan Empire to run for the next heir to the throne, thank you for coming, please take a seat!"
Liu Suifeng, Gao Yufan, Li Jili and others bent down slightly, and fell back to their seats with deep meanings in their eyes.
Immediately, Shangguan Honglie indifferently instructed the presiding monk to briefly explain the rules in the battle for succession.
There are no rules, the battle for the succession stipulates that as long as one of the princes can get all the jade medals worn by the other three princes, then the prince will be the next emperor of the Hanchuan Empire. During this period, these thirty worshippers of the Hanchuan Empire will obey the orders of the new emperor, but only if they do not damage the interests of the Hanchuan Empire.
As for the competition between the four princes, except for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, which originally belonged to Shangguan Rongyan, the rest of the Yamen of the Hanchuan Empire would not provide any direct help to the princes.
Whether it's open guns and hidden arrows, or tricks, who can have the last laugh. Whoever is the victor in the battle for succession?
"Have you written it down?" After the presiding monk finished reading the rules of the battle for the heir, Shangguan Honglie looked at the four people standing below and asked, while everyone nodded in unison.
In fact, this is purely just a formality, the four princes have already understood the rules on this plan, and for each of the regulations, they have made assumptions and exercises with the royal think tank in simple terms.
"Then let's start worshiping our ancestors and worshiping the heavens!" the high Shangguan Honglie waved his hand majestically and shouted in a deep voice.
The complex and rigorous preparations for the sacrifice had been prepared many days ago, in front of the solemn altar. A furnace of high incense rose up, and a hard-to-find fifth-order desolate beast was carried up, Shangguan Honglie flipped it with one hand, and directly sacrificed a large knife that was long and swung, although the fifth-order desolate beast had tough skin and flesh, it was still easily split into two, and the blood was sprinkled on the altar.
Sacrifice the ancestors with beasts, and sacrifice the sky with blood!
The sacrificial ceremony was cumbersome, and the four princes were under the guidance of the ceremonial master. Meticulously complete your own rituals.
During this whole process, the strong men of the six families were also shining brightly, secretly observing the performance of the four, observing whether the allies they chose were suitable, and observing whether the enemy was strong.
Finally, after worshipping the blood-colored banner of the Hanchuan Empire, the entire sacrificial ceremony came to an end.
"This trip, when you go, you will be a brother, and when you return, you can do it yourself!" Shangguan Honglie admonished in a deep voice, waved his hand and shouted: "The battle for the heir has officially begun"
The four extremely handsome Xiaoyun Beasts roared and landed in front of the four princes, and the four sons of Shangguan each turned over on the saddle chair on the back of the beast.
The wind stopped, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly seemed a little stagnant, and even the breathing of thousands of people suddenly stopped.
The four princes glanced at each other left and right, and they all smiled slightly, but their eyes were fierce, as the son of the royal family, his temperament was really different from ordinary people. Even if they are brothers, they are enemies when they leave this altar!
"Brothers, little thirteen will go first!" Shangguan Rongyan said in a calm voice, and when the words fell, the Howling Cloud Beast had already galloped away.
"Does Lao Thirteen want to get out of the game early? so in such a hurry!" Shangguan Rongfu muttered to Shangguan Rongyi on the side: "Third brother, please abide by the plan we discussed before, Lao Jiu is one step ahead!"
"Keep up!" Shangguan Capacity also chuckled, nodded at the last remaining Shangguan Rong Yi, and rose into the air.
Shangguan Rong Yi glanced at the more than 10,000 monks who were watching, and after staying in one of them for a while, he also flew towards Hangjia City with the Howling Cloud Beast.
"The old woman is going to see the excitement!" Qiu Xuehua, the head of the Qiu family, who is also the proposer of the battle for the heir, smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a boat-shaped flying dao machine with a length of two or three zhang appeared out of thin air, and the monks of the Qiu family had already prepared, and they all got on the boat after a while, and then driven by Qiu Xuehua Zhenyuan, the spaceship flew lightning towards Hangjiacheng, which was only the size of a black dot in the distance, and disappeared.
"Hehe, fellow Daoists, the old man will go first!" Gao Yufan, the head of the Gao family, left immediately.
"The old man is going too!" Li Jili, the head of the Li family, was not to be outdone.
Then there are the Yuan family and the Si family.
In the end, Liu Suifeng smiled slightly, and also took the monks of the Liu family to watch the ceremony.
In an instant, the monks of the six major families walked cleanly. The scene in front of him, for the monks who only knew a few words of information, thought that they were all in a hurry to go back to assist the four princes. But the shrewd monk knew that the monks of the six major families who participated in the battle for the succession had already been in place, and those present were only the leaders of the six major families who came to watch the ceremony.
This road was mighty, first the Xiaoyun Beasts under the crotches of the four princes scrambled to be the first, then the monks of the six major families surged, and finally the people of the other Guanli families, but in a moment, they had arrived at the east gate of Hangjia City.
At this time, outside the east gate, it is much more lively than the altar of the festival. Why? Because countless forces, large and small, are looking forward to it, and they know that today is the day of the battle for the succession, so they naturally wait here early to return home with the prince they follow.
Outside the entire east gate, there was a dense crowd of people, even miles away, of course, there were monks among them who were still secretly observing, among them, there were many family monks who were swaying left and right and had not yet determined their positions, or because of the long distance and poor information, they only rushed to the out-of-town monks who wanted to get a piece of the pie today. They all want to decide which prince to follow in the end through the current power situation of each royal palace. This is the last train, and once the princes lead the monks who support them back to their homes, then the families and monks who missed the line will have no chance.
"Which prince are you going to follow this time?" someone familiar with him began to greet him.
"I got the news too late, and I arrived last night in a hurry, and I am not very aware of the situation of the princes. But judging from the current situation, it seems that King Fu's Mansion is the most crowded, and I plan to lead the gang to follow His Royal Highness King Fu. ”
"Don't go, you will definitely lose, follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with us Feiyunzhuang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in the position of the prince for many years, and he is much more justified than other princes. ”
"Brother, what you said is wrong, we are monks, your worldly custom of establishing a long and virtuous person is useless in our monk country, strength is king!"
"This fellow Daoist is right, strength is king, His Royal Highness King Yan just broke through the mid-stage realm of distraction not long ago, and he is the only mid-stage distraction monk among the four princes, doesn't it just conform to the principle of your strength-oriented?"
"Really?"
"Nonsense, of course it's true, come, go to a quieter place over there, I'll talk to you in detail, I know a lot of the inside story. The two hooked their shoulders and whispered to each other.
Third-class foreign forces, such as the Evergreen Gang and Feiyunzhuang, are all on the edge of the powerful forces, and most of them don't know the doorway in the battle for succession, most of them follow to see which prince is more powerful or has advanced cultivation, or they follow them together at the invitation of their friends. In order to bet on himself in the future, he can have the opportunity to enter the power class of the big family.
With the appearance of the leaders of the six major families, the monks of those forces who were clustered at the east gate were all pushed out of the distance by an invisible force.
When everyone stood firm and looked forward with shocked faces, not only did they not dare to be angry, but they were all surprised and excited.
The heads of the six major Xiuzhen families and the leading figures appeared at the same time! What a rare opportunity!
These big people are not ordinary people can be seen, many monks who came from other places are happy in their hearts, this time they came to Hangjiacheng really came to the right place, just seeing these big people is worth a return ticket.
For a while, many foreign monks looked excited, looking at the six groups of monks with admiration.
On the contrary, the six groups of monks were staring at Hangjia City, with an interested look on their faces, now is an excellent moment to show their strength, it is a moment to reflect the charm of the princes, they naturally know very well that their movements will affect the whereabouts of these small forces waiting outside the city gate, and will affect which prince they choose to follow.
Therefore, the leaders of the six major families officially stood in front of many monks.
The Qiu family was the first to fly in front of the crowd where King Fu was, and King Fu greeted him with a smile. Qiu Xuehua smiled and hugged her fists and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Fu." ”
"It's hard work for the head of the Qiu family!" Shangguan Rongfu tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, kept his face indifferent, and nodded calmly, the news of the alliance had already been spread between the two sides, and it was naturally not surprising to show such intimacy at this moment. However, Qiu Xuehua was the first to appear and cheer for himself, how could he not be happy with Shangguan Rongfu.
Behind Qiu Xuehua, Qiu Yueliang, who was five big and three thick, said with a big grin: "It's not hard, as long as Your Highness remembers to fulfill the promise he promised to our two families." ”
Shangguan Rongfu laughed loudly: "Brother Aman, I'm too worried, this king has always been true to his word, how could he ever break his word?!"
"That's good!" Qiu Yueliang stopped gnawing after speaking.
"Who is this old woman? Who is it from, who actually let King Fu greet her! And who is that strong man?"
"You haven't seen it, this is the famous Helian family among the six major families!"
"Helian family, then why does King Fu call him the head of the Qiu family?"
"Qiu Xuehua, the Taoist companion of the contemporary head of the Helian family, the acting head of the family, fully presides over all the affairs of the Helian family!"
"What about the head of the Helian family, why didn't he come forward?"
"Breaking the ban and going crazy, now in retreat!"
"Oh, I see!"
"Don't underestimate this Qiu Xuehua, not only has her cultivation reached the late stage of distraction, but she also doesn't let her eyebrows go, and her ability to deal with family affairs is extremely strong, and the Helian family has been improving in strength under her leadership in the past hundred years, and has vaguely surpassed the Si family!
"Ah! Granny Snowflake has taken such a stand, so doesn't King Fu suddenly have two major forces to cheer for him?"
"Well, that's it!"
"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and stand on King Fu's side, go to the set up early and almost get a familiar face!"
"I said Fifth Brother, you are too anxious, I didn't see that the other five major families haven't left yet! After they all come forward to decide which prince to support, it's not too late for us to make a decision according to the situation!"
"Well, it makes sense, I'll listen to my brother in the future, and I'll talk about it later!"
Qiu Xuehua's first stand made many monks in the crowd move.
Of course, the heads of the other five major families also heard the discussion of the surrounding monks, and glanced at Qiu Xuehua with great meaning. Immediately, they began to fly to the prince they supported. Only Liu Jialiu and the leading figures in the clan still stood in place, without movement, and it seemed that their absolute strength made them disdain to stand in line.
As expected, the remaining Gao family, Li family, Si family, and Yuan family all came to the queue of several princes to greet and express their positions according to the interests of their own families.
The Gao family naturally supports King Fu.
The Li family was not surprised to stand on the side of the Yan Wangfu.
The relationship between the Yuan family and the crown prince is put there.
The Si family, who is related to King Yi, greeted Shangguan Rong Yi.
Everything is exactly the same as the rumors in Hangjia City.
