None of the ministers in the royal school could have predicted such a situation. Fancheng, Wu Guangguang and the others, who were originally disheartened, widened their eyes one by one, unable to believe that this was a real scene.

Chu Baoxiong's face was like ashes, and he shouted in a tearing voice, "You can't give up, you have no way out, and Delong won't let you go." Kill ~ kill them for me. ”

After Chu Baoxiong finished shouting, a rattan armor guard rushed over and kicked him to the ground. The dignified members of the six departments were actually trampled under their feet.

He Lianjia saw that some of the people in the city defense battalion had not put down their weapons, and shouted loudly, "Do you still want to rebel, whoever takes Qian Biao, this official will give him a third promotion." ”

Under the heavy reward, without waiting for the deputy general Qian Biao to resist, he was pressed to the ground by the guards around him. Immediately afterwards, the patrol battalion, the cavalry battalion, and even the forbidden guards all laid down their weapons one after another. These guards were originally killed and tied up by the Lord, and they obeyed the ban in desperation. Now that Dezhang has been killed and captured, who will fight for them.

Prince Hong was so excited that he seemed to be more than ten years younger in an instant, and immediately ordered Pang Gang and He Lianjia, the servants of the Criminal Department, to reorganize the guards in the school grounds. Prince Hong also appointed Wang Shidu, the old Hanlin Wang, as the temporary first and auxiliary minister, and commanded the civil and military officials to temporarily list one side.

Dezhang and Yu Ban's guards were captured, Duan Lang withdrew his sword and looked at the miserable Yu Ban, at this moment, he had some pity for this annihilating enemy.

"Yu Ban, you have completely failed." Duan Lang said softly.

Yu Ban wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stood up with a sway. The Seventh Prince, Delong, shouted angrily, "Come on, take down the guilty minister." ”

Several guards were just about to rush over, but Duan Lang's eyes were sharp, "Stand down!" ”

Duan Lang forced the guards to retreat and looked at the Seventh Prince Delong, "Your Highness, although Yu Ban deserves death, he has worked hard for decades for Great Xia after all. Give him some dignity. ”

In front of everyone, Duan Lang forced the guards to retreat, and Delong's eyes instantly showed a hint of fierceness, but he immediately recovered as before. However, this trace of sharpness was seen by Mingyue in the eyes.

Delong smiled gently, "General Duan is right, even if he is a criminal minister, he must wait for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne before asking for guilt. For the sake of his assistance to the three emperors, come and give the Xiangguo a seat. ”

Yu Ban didn't seem to hear it, and his eyes kept staring at Duan Lang. Yu Ban smiled bitterly, "Duan Lang, the old man has been cautious all his life, and he has always left a back hand in everything he does. Unexpectedly, it was defeated in the hands of a young man like you. The old man was not convinced, but he had to admire you. If you want to talk about resourcefulness, you owe the old man a lot. But you have taken up a brave word, brave, sometimes you don't need to be resourceful. It is precisely because of you, a simple brave, that the old man misjudged many things. It seems that this is all providence. ”

"Yu Ban, you are wrong. I, Duan Lang, have courage and no strategy, but there are planners around me. Duan Lang said, his eyes looking at the Mingyue of the Tai Tai.

Yu Ban followed Duan Lang's gaze and asked in an old voice, "You are the soldier and horse military division of Lidu City?" ”

Mingyue jumped off the war horse and bowed respectfully to Yu Ban, "Mingyue, the military master of the capital city, has given a salute to the seniors." ”

"Okay, very good, do you know where the old man is defeated?"

Tantai Mingyue looked at Yu Ban, who was a little decadent, and said seriously, "The little woman once analyzed her predecessors very seriously, and when it comes to today's pattern, if you want to talk about the wise people who govern the country, the seniors are also the best among them." In this defeat, the predecessors lost due to lack of preparation, and there must be loopholes in haste. Of course, the news of the sudden victory of the capital city disrupted the layout of the predecessors. Otherwise, it will be difficult for His Highness Delong to turn over. With the wisdom of your predecessors, you will be given another half a year, and I am afraid that even the palace guards will be controlled by you. His Royal Highness Prince Hong has been fighting horses all his life, and he is far better than his predecessors in marching and arranging. But in terms of domestic affairs, it is far inferior to its predecessors. ”

Yu Ban looked at Yutai Mingyue in surprise, this assertion hit the nail on the head, and it was precisely because of the lack of preparation in a hurry that it would lead to this kind of ending.

"No wonder the old man will lose, Duan Lang has such a wise man behind him, it is the old man who did not expect. But even so, your success is only accidental, and the old man is not convinced. ”

Duan Lang said with a sneer, "Defeat is defeat, there is nothing to be unconvinced." After Han Pingzi failed, he said the same. These accidents do not happen casually, and in your hearts, perhaps I should fall. ”

Yu Ban smiled bitterly, "Yes, the king is the king, there is nothing to complain about." The old man has never fought Yuning, but he has not been defeated so badly. But this time, the old man admits that he was completely defeated. ”

After Yu Ban finished speaking, two tears actually shed in a wry smile. He wasn't afraid, he just felt that after so many years of hard work, it was really unfair to lose at the hands of a young man.

Yutai Mingyue didn't say anything more, but she was also feeling sorry for Yu Ban in her heart. In her opinion, Yu Ban was still too conservative, and if she directly ordered Delong and Duan Lang to be killed, even if there would be chaos in the future, it would never shake the foundation of Great Xia. Because Mingyue knew that without Duan Lang's soldiers and horses, it would become torn apart. Feng Ming, Wei Du, Lu Zhengshan, Geng Zhishan and others would never become Great Xia rebels in order to avenge Duan Lang. Relying only on the tens of thousands of horses in the original class, it really can't make much of a storm in Great Xia. Perhaps this is God's arrangement, when Delong ascends the throne and becomes emperor.

Order gradually returned to the Royal Schoolyard, but the fighting continued outside the Campus. Outside the Ruifeng battalion, Zhu Wenjun led the soldiers and horses to block several impacts of the Ruifeng battalion with an absolute superiority in numbers. Seeing the increasing damage to the soldiers and horses, Zhu Wenjun was also anxious. He looked forward to Dezhang quickly ascending the throne and becoming emperor, so that he could take over the Ruifeng camp with the holy decree. Zhu Wenjun knew that Ruifeng Ying was not Prince Hong's descendant, they were just acting on orders. As long as Prince Hong handed over the jade seal, the fighting here would stop immediately.

Just as the two sides were facing each other, dust was flying in the distance, and a cavalry wearing the armor of the forbidden army rushed over. Seeing that it was the costume of the forbidden army, Zhu Wenjun couldn't help but be happy. But seeing the officials at the front, Zhu Wenjun couldn't help but be stunned. Because it was not very Lin who led this army and horses, but Pang Gang, the squire of the Criminal Department. Behind Pang Gang, he was also followed by Chang Lin's father ~ Chang Yuguang, the secretary of Guanglu Temple.

Just when Zhu Wenjun was puzzled, Pang Gang held a Shang Fang sword high in his hand, "His Royal Highness Prince Chuanhong and His Royal Highness Delong decreed, in the royal school, Prince Dezhang and Xiangguo conspired to strangle the minister and deceive the royal family, committing a heinous and serious crime. His Royal Highness the Prince deprived the prince of Dezhang of his reputation according to the ancestral system, and Zhao Dezhang has been sentenced to the law, and the criminal minister was arrested in the ban. Zhu Wenjun, the squire of the Ministry of Command, immediately handed over the military power and returned to the school field, obeying the will of heaven and not blaming the past. If you dare to disobey the order~ destroy the nine clans. Chin this! ”

Zhu Wenjun couldn't help but shake his body when he heard this, and he almost didn't fall off his horse. Zhu Wenjun looked at Pang Gang in disbelief, and then looked at Chang Yuguang beside him. Zhu Wenjun knew that Pang Gang was Prince Hong's person, but Chang Yuguang was Yu Ban's team. He wanted to confirm the news from Chang Yuguang's mouth.

Chang Yuguang sighed gloomily, "Master Zhu, everything is over. His Royal Highness Delong promised that if Lord Zhu took the initiative to release the military power, he would not be guilty of the past. ”

Chang Guangyu's face was gloomy, he didn't dare not come, because his son Chang Lin was kidnapped, if he continued to resist, I was afraid that there would be a danger of extinction. Only by obeying Delon's orders may he be able to get out of the way.

"How can this be~ impossible, absolutely impossible." Zhu Wenjun said dumbfoundedly.

Pang Gang put away Shang Fang's sword and hugged his fists, "Lord Zhu, you and I are both important ministers of the six departments. There are some things that you and I can't decide. His Royal Highness Delong has agreed, and after the battle for the heir has passed, except for the mastermind Yu Ban, the others will be dealt with lightly. His Royal Highness Delong hopes that Master Zhu can go to the school to watch his enthronement ceremony. ”

Zhu Wenjun didn't understand why there was such an ending in the school field, but the forbidden army behind Chang Yuguang and Pang Gang made him have to believe this fact. Zhu Wenjun's body shook, and he reluctantly threw away the sword in his hand. Pang Gang waved his hand and ordered the generals behind him to take over Zhu Wenjun's military power. Zhu Wenjun knew that it would be useless to resist any longer, so he could only wait for Delong's fate.

Outside the palace, Lord Huai commanded the elite of the Investigation Division, and was fighting fiercely with the palace guards, when he watched the rows of soldiers and horses rushing over not far away. Not far from the battle between the two sides, the shield array and the longbow formation were aimed at the two sides that were fighting.

"Stop it all for the old man." Old Hanlin Wang Shidu, standing on a car and shouting loudly.

Compared with the past, Wang Shidu at this time seemed to be in good spirits, and he didn't look like an ancient person at all. The fall of Prince Dezhang seems to have re-injected his vitality. Prince Hong knew that on the side of Lord Huai, it was difficult for ordinary people to suppress it, and only by inviting Lao Hanlin to come out of the horse could he control the people on both sides.

Lord Huai's heart tightened, and he stared at Lao Hanlin and didn't say anything. Wang Shidu saw that the men and horses on both sides were retreating, so he shouted loudly.

"Passing on the decree of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness Delong, the traitor conspired to hang the ministers of the court and the central government in the forbidden bewitchment of Dezhang, bullied the relatives of the emperor and the country, and committed a heinous and serious crime. Dezhang has been subdued, and the traitor Yu Ban has also been taken down. The two highnesses ordered everyone to refrain from any more conflicts, and to immediately retreat to their respective pavilions. ~ Liu Zhi, the head of the internal guard, and Ling Huai, the head of the Detective Division, went to the royal school to watch the enthronement ceremony, and admired this! ”

When the palace guards heard this, their faces suddenly showed excitement, and the eight iron guards knelt down to receive the decree and shouted in unison, "The slave obeys the order." ”

On the side of the Investigation Division, they all looked frightened and looked at Lord Huai. Lord Huai, who covered his face with a green scarf, no one could see the expression on his face. But from the eyes, there was also a hint of surprise.

Wang Shidu looked at Lord Huai and said, "Lord Huai, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

Lord Huai looked at the rows of crossbowmen and said helplessly, "Everyone in the Investigation and Defense Division listens to the order and immediately withdraws from the Investigation and Defense Department and waits for the fate." Wang Lao Hanlin, please tell the two highnesses that it is inconvenient to watch the ceremony in bloody clothes, so go back to the yamen to change into official clothes before going. ”

"Okay, His Royal Highness Delong remembers that you are an important minister of the first emperor, as long as Lord Huai is dedicated to assisting the new monarch, His Royal Highness Delong will not be guilty of the past."

Lord Huai hugged his fists, "Please tell His Royal Highness Delong, the old minister is here." ”

After Lord Huai finished speaking, Wang Shidu ordered to get out of the way, and the palace guards and the secret agents of the Investigation Department retreated one after another.

Seeing that all the people in the Investigation Division had retreated, Lao Hanlin Wang Shidu said to Zhou Hu on the right side of the car.

"General Zhou, these horses will be handed over to you. Be careful, Lord Huai is scheming, don't fall for him. ”

Zhou Hu, who was dressed in the armor of the rattan armor, clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, the last general will definitely act cautiously." ”

After Zhou Hu finished speaking, he immediately issued an order to the men and horses he led, "Pass the order, immediately surround the Investigation Division." Except for Lord Huai, no one else is allowed to enter or leave. ”

After Zhou Hu finished speaking, he looked at a thin guard beside him. Although this man was dressed as a soldier, he was dressed as Azhu.

"Fourth sister, you should also be careful, don't let that old ghost find you. Keep your distance and flee as soon as you are spotted. ”

"Second brother, don't worry, I've dealt with him, I'll be cautious." Ah Zhu was almost killed by Lord Huai that day, and she knew that it would not be easy to track Lord Huai. But apart from her, no one else has this ability.

In Kyoto, Helenga returned to control of the castle defense camp, and the four gates were once again in his hands. Helenga ordered the gates to be temporarily closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. It took more than two hours for Kyoto to settle down.

In the royal school grounds, the dead and wounded guards were carried away, and after a simple cleanup, the civil and military officials gathered under the high platform again. Compared with before, the two camps are diametrically opposed, and Wu Guangguang and the others hold their heads high one by one, like triumphant generals.

Yutai Mingyue stood beside Duan Lang, but her gaze kept looking at Yu Ban, who was a little dull. As the head of the criminal ministers, Yu Ban was not taken away, but was given to sit next to the high platform. Perhaps, letting him watch Delon's ascension to the throne here is the biggest blow to the ban.

After a short discussion, Du Huaizhi, the sacrificial wine in the palace, stood on the high platform again. The enthronement ceremony continues, but the protagonist has changed from Dezhang to Delong, the seventh prince. When Delong stood on the altar and wore a dragon robe, Lao Hanlin led hundreds of civil and military officials, kneeling on the ground and shouting long live. Prince Hong was also a little excited, the Great Xia Dynasty finally ushered in the true master after several months of being regent on behalf of the heavens.

At the end of the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, the hundred officials stepped forward to swear allegiance. Wang Shidu, Wu Guangguang and other ministers finished their allegiance, and Duan Lang, on behalf of the soldiers in the west, stepped forward to bow down.

"Minister Duan Lang, on behalf of the western generals, allegiance to His Majesty Delong."

"General, please hurry up, all the generals in the west have made great contributions, and I can ascend the throne and become the emperor, and I can't do without the assistance of General Duan." Delong solemnly picked up Duan Lang.

Zhang Ruming also walked up with eight-figure steps, "Your Majesty Delong, this Heavenly Master is the messenger of the gods, I don't know if ~ should I kneel?" ”

The ministers in the audience were stunned, many people showed warm faces, Wang Shidu snorted heavily, and was about to reprimand a few words angrily, but he heard Delong say with a smile.

"Lord Shangguan blesses the people on behalf of the gods, and I ~ give you a holy face and do not worship."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this Heavenly Master blesses Your Majesty on behalf of the gods, may Your Majesty be blessed with longevity and health, and the Great Xia Kingdom and the people will be safe."

"Haha, this blessing is very good, I have received it."

Delong happily accepted everyone's kneeling and allegiance, and Liu Zhi, the head of the palace, and others also stepped forward to express their loyalty to the new emperor.

Chu Baoxiong looked at everyone apprehensively, bowed down to Delong, and fell to his knees.

"Minister ~ Chu Baoxiong, loyal to Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live long live." Chu Baoxiong trembled and didn't dare to look up.

Delong looked at Chu Baoxiong indifferently and snorted coldly, "Get up, you step back first." ”

"Yes." Chu Baoxiong climbed a few steps backwards before he dared to get up.

Zhu Wenjun let out a long sigh and walked over, "The criminal minister Zhu Wenjun, I don't dare to be loyal, but I wish the Great Xia Kingdom and the people peace." ”

Delong was stunned, "Why, Lord Zhu refuses to be loyal to the emperor?" ”

"The offender is cautious and willing to accept any punishment. But the battle for the succession does not involve personal grievances, and I hope that His Majesty will spare the family members of the guilty ministers. Zhu Wenjun clenched his fists and said.

Delong nodded, "Lord Zhu, please come up, the battle for the heir has always been cruel, and the emperor doesn't blame you." ”

Delong said, looking at the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what happened to everyone before, this emperor announced that the battle for the succession has passed. As for everyone's merits and demerits, the emperor just wants to say that those who assist me will be rewarded heavily. If you don't appreciate it, it will definitely chill everyone's heart. But against me, the Emperor will not blame you. After all, the battle for the heir is not a betrayal, and you are also loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as all your ministers can work together to protect my Great Xia country, this emperor also regards you as loyal ministers. ”

After Delong finished speaking, Zhu Wenjun, Chu Baoxiong, Chang Yuguang and others knelt down one after another, and some even cried and shouted long live. Tantai Mingyue watched coldly, but she was really amazed by Delong's move to recruit and buy people's hearts. In any case, it also shows Delon's tolerance.

The enthronement ceremony was coming to an end, and Delong was enshrined in the sky, and the jade seal was sealed to the world. After a delay of two or three hours, a feast was held in the royal school yard to celebrate. Duan Lang found that the mysterious Lord Huai had not appeared in the royal school yard from beginning to end.

The world has decided on a major matter, and Delong no longer cares about a mere investigation division. Just as Delong raised his glass and was about to celebrate, he saw a captain on the tower running down in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, a fire suddenly broke out in the Investigation Division, and the fire was soaring to the sky, and it was spreading in the direction of the palace."

The ministers were all stunned, and looked at the direction of the Investigation Division in surprise. Delong's heart tightened, and he quickly ordered.

"Manager Liu, quickly lead the palace guards to extinguish the fire, and be sure to stop the fire from spreading to the palace."

"The old slave obeys." After Liu Zhi finished speaking, he quickly got up and hurried out.

"Duan Lang listens to orders!"

"The minister is here."

"Your Highness~ No, I order you to lead 20,000 forbidden troops and quickly go to the Investigation Division. Duan Aiqing can decide according to the situation, and I will give you the right to be arbitrary. ”

"Obey the order!"

As soon as Duan Lang's voice fell, Tantai Mingyue also followed, "Your Majesty, the concubine will definitely go with her husband." ”

"Quasi-play!"

As soon as Duan Lang and Mingyue took action, the eighteen guards under the high platform didn't say a word, and followed Duan Lang to the gate of the school. Many courtiers looked at Xiang Tian and the others suspiciously, they didn't even kneel down and leave, which was contrary to etiquette. It is even said that it can be hung with the sin of great rebellion.

DeLong didn't seem to see it, and there was no trace of blame on his face. But in his heart, Delong felt that it was time for these reckless men in Lidu City to let them rein in. There is even that Shangguan Xuanwu, who has to find an opportunity to let him know about my majesty.

Duan Lang didn't think about these questions, in his heart, he only thought about the mysterious Lord Huai. Duan Lang wanted to know if that mysterious Lord Huai was one of the ghost guards back then. Now that the four doors are closed, and Azhu is following, Duan Lang believes that this mystery will soon be revealed.
