In Kyoto, Daxia, Yu Ban sat on the high platform of the royal school field. The civil and military officials below were divided into two camps, and the officials on the left were elated, as if their daughter-in-law was happy. The ministers on the right are all like mourners.

The entire school field was covered with guards, and it can be seen from their battle robes and armor that except for the Ruifeng Battalion, which is known as the Son of Heaven's own soldiers, there are all major battalions in Kyoto. Old Hanlin Wang Shidu sighed sadly and angrily, the matter had come to this point, and he felt that it was useless to say anything. Becoming a king or defeating a villain, at this moment, Wang Shidu has to accept this reality.

Wu Guangguang's eyes were slightly red, he had been suffering in the past few days, and Wu Guangguang didn't believe that the battle for the heir was over. The army of Lidu City, the army of Ma Ruzheng, did they just watch Delong completely lose the throne? What's more, originally their side controlled the strength of the soldiers and horses in Kyoto, and Prince He Hong defected to the battle, and even betrayed them. Thinking of this, Wu Guangguang couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Yu Ban glanced at the time pointed by the sundial, and seeing that the hour was almost up, Yu Ban's gaze looked at the side door on the right side of the royal school field. There is a yellow gate specially reserved for members of the royal family to enter and exit, and the royal family represented by Prince Hong should also be almost there. Yu Ban was pondering whether to send someone to urge, when he saw the guards guarding the Yellow Gate split to both sides, and Prince Hong's guard of honor walked in.

This time, the royal team that came with Prince Hong was not small, and the prince Baylor was nearly three hundred people. Moreover, Prince Hong also brought his own guards, and these guards stood under the high platform with the men and horses of the forbidden army camp.

Chang Lin, who was in charge of the forbidden military camp, looked at Yu Ban, Yu Ban nodded slightly, which means that the guards of these hundred or so people, let them stay there. These members of the royal family did not greet any courtiers, and walked to their seats one by one with a straight face.

Prince Hong walked up to the high platform, Yu Ban stood up and bowed his hand slightly, "Your Royal Highness, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time, please." ”

Yu Ban politely turned to one side and gave up the main seat to Prince Hong. No matter how great Yu Ban's power is, today is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and he must respect Prince Hong in terms of identity.

Prince Hong glanced at Yu Ban, "Yu Xiangguo, looking at your anxious appearance, I don't know that I thought you were on the throne." ”

"Your Excellency, you can't talk nonsense. Ben is loyal to my Great Xia, and he has no two hearts. Yu Ban said solemnly.

"It's good if you don't have two hearts, then wait for the auspicious time." Prince Hong didn't bother to talk to Yu Ban, and sat on the chair and looked at the audience with a face.

The official on the left looked at Prince Hong with a mocking smile on his face. On the right, Wang Shidu, Wu Guangguang and others glared angrily at Prince Hong one by one. Prince Hong's face was also a little unbearable, and he simply looked elsewhere.

As soon as the royals arrive, it is a sign that today's protagonist is also going to appear. It's not too forbidden, and it's been looking at the side door. In the midst of the discussions, a group of centaurs entered the right side door again. Under the protection of numerous guards, the two cars drove into the royal school grounds.

As soon as the car stopped, the Seven Princes walked down alone. The ministers in the audience immediately suppressed their voices, and their eyes looked at Delong, the seventh prince who was a little lost. In another car, after Duan Lang got down, he stretched out his hand and helped Zhang Ruming jump out of the car.

Different from the loneliness and indifference of the Seven Princes, Zhang Ruming's feet touched the ground, and he suddenly clenched his fists energetically.

"Everyone~ I'm sorry, I'm a step late. Hey, isn't this Master Ma, has been in good shape lately? Lord Wang, look at the look on your face, is it a concubine again? Hey, hey~ Master Chu Baoxiong, it's a bit rare to see you, I thought you were dead. ”

Chu Bao's majestic beard was cocked, "Shangguan Xuanwu, such a solemn place, you must not be presumptuous." ”

"What's the matter, if you don't accept it, believe it or not, I'll beat you up again." Zhang Ruming took a step forward as he spoke, and several guards who followed hurriedly blocked in front of Chu Baoxiong.

"Lord Shangguan, your seat is over there." One of the guards said coldly.

Zhang Ruming pointed at Chu Baoxiong disdainfully, "You wait, I'm looking for you when I turn around." ”

Chu Bao's lungs are about to explode, and he said that after the prince ascends the throne, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you. At this time, bear with you first, if you don't look for me afterwards, Lao Tzu will still look for you.

Duan Lang didn't speak, just followed behind Zhang Ruming with a smile on his face. Don't look at Zhang Ruming's loud voice, but most of the eyes are still looking at Duan Lang. Yu Ban's eyes narrowed slightly, he always felt that Duan Lang's calmness made him faintly uneasy.

Duan Lang followed Zhang Ruming to Wang Shidu and the other seats, which were surrounded by guards, like a group of prisoners who had been circled.

Zhang Ruming didn't care about this, and greeted everyone excitedly. Wu Guangguang walked to Duan Lang's side and sighed slightly.

"Alas~, you shouldn't go back to Beijing. Or rather, you're a step too late. ”

Duan Lang turned his back to Yu Ban and said in a low voice, "Lord Wu, everything is not over yet, if you want to eat a hearty meal, don't rush the cook." You see, didn't the vine guards who were loyal to you also enter the royal schoolyard? Duan Lang said, gesturing to Wu Guangguang.

Wu Guangguang was stunned, looked quietly, and sure enough, he found that Liu Shuguang, the standard, was looking at him from a distance. Since there were more soldiers and horses in the school field, if it weren't for Duan Lang's reminder, Wu Guangguang really hadn't found Liu Shuguang.

However, Wu Guangguang still shook his head with a sigh, "This bit of manpower is not enough to turn the tables." Unless your army of Lidu is here, maybe it's still possible. ”

"Don't worry, just wait and see." Duan Lang said, standing aside very relaxed.

Dali Temple Qing Fan Cheng quietly squeezed behind Duan Lang, and said in a suppressed voice from between his teeth.

"Duan Lang, your people secretly entered my mansion last night, and I put my life on the line."

Duan Lang covered his mouth and coughed twice, and whispered, "Lord Fan believes it so much, Duan Lang is very thankful." ”

"I don't trust you, I believe in miracles. The decree of the gods is that Delong ascends the throne, and if he really angers the gods, Daxia will not be able to save it. ”

Duan Lang rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that this fool was really deceived by Zhang Ruming, and he still believed in miracles. As a Dali Siqing, I don't know how he usually decides cases.

On the high platform, Prince Hong glanced at Duan Lang, and then his eyes drooped slightly, like an old monk in a fixed state. As soon as Delong and the others arrived, Yu Ban gave Du Huaizhi a glance at the palace sacrificial wine, which meant that Dezhang could be asked to come out.

At this moment, a junior colonel hurriedly came to the stage and whispered a few words to Yu Ban. Yu Ban was slightly stunned, and glanced at Prince Hong next to him.

Yu Ban hesitated for a moment, then leaned sideways and whispered, "Order, transfer people from the school field, and make sure that the Ruifeng Battalion is not allowed to walk out of the camp gate for half a step." On the other side of the gate, 5,000 men were also dispatched. Tell Lord Huai that even if there is a head-on conflict, the palace guards must not be allowed to leave the palace. ”

"No!" After the colonel agreed in a low voice, he hurriedly ran to the stage.

As soon as the little colonel left, Yu Ban turned sideways slightly, "Your Royal Highness, since the crown prince's ascension to the throne is unstoppable, why bother to be obsessed with it." ”

Prince Hong didn't seem to wake up, and opened his eyes slightly, "Yu Xiangguo, where did you start with this?" ”

"You and I know it well, so why do you have to say it. The Ruifeng camp and the palace guards don't dare to do this without the decree of Prince Hong. ”

Prince Hong also tilted his body, "Yu Ban, the enthronement ceremony is the most important ceremony of the country." If there is no participation in the Ruifeng Battalion and the palace guards, can this still be regarded as an enthronement ceremony? Could it be that when the new emperor ascended the throne, he didn't even dare to move in the palace? ”

"Hmph, of course you have to stay in the palace. It's just that once a gentleman and a courtier, the original guards must be loyal before they can continue to stay in the palace. ”

"What, you're scared?"

"Hehe, joke, it's you who should be afraid. The old man's life and death are bearish, even if there is a river of blood in this school, it can't stop Dezhang from ascending the throne. ”

"In that case, let's wait."

"Okay, wait."

Yu Banxin said that the absolute control in Kyoto is in my hands, and I want to see what small actions you can make with Prince Hong. In the forbidden eyes, Prince Hong's unwisdom is just to increase his bargaining chips in future negotiations.

The shadow of the sundial immediately pointed to the auspicious time, and a horn sounded in the school field, and the prince Dezhang entered the royal school field under the honor guard of the forbidden army. Chu Baoxiong and the others puffed up their chests one by one, and looked at Dezhang with divine respect in their eyes. On Wu Guangguang's side, many courtiers looked at them with disdain, and even some courtiers turned their faces away and didn't look at them.

Yu Ban stood up, Prince Hong hesitated slightly, and then stood up as well. Seeing Prince Hong leave his seat, Yu Ban finally had a smile on his face. In any case, Prince Hong was able to cooperate with him to complete the ritual, which was enough for the ban.

Prince Dezhang walked towards the high platform, and Yu Ban bowed slightly, "Minister~ See Your Highness." ”

Prince Hong also bowed slightly, "Your Royal Highness the Regent, you're late." ”

Prince Dezhang was excited, but he didn't hear Prince Hong's teasing words, so he hurriedly arched his hand.

"Two ministers of social affairs, please take a seat."

After Dezhang finished speaking, he turned to look at the ministers in the audience, "All the ministers, take your seats." ”

Dezhang said, his eyes glanced at Duan Lang. However, at this time, Dezhang did not have any hatred in his heart, in his eyes, Duan Lang was just his own courtier. The king called the minister to die, and the minister had to die, this feeling of being high above made Dezhang a little uncomfortable in his heart. His five-clawed dragon robe has been brought to the altar, as long as he changes into that dragon robe, the world is his virtue.

The auspicious time has arrived, and the ritual of sacrificial wine in the palace has begun to be held step by step. The first thing to do is to read out the merits made by Emperor Yuning to show the respect of the new emperor.

Just as Du Huaizhi read out the merits of Emperor Yuning, Zhu Wenjun, the squire of the military department, walked up to the high platform with his head down and came to Yu Ban's side.

"What, is there a situation? The soldiers and horses at the lower pass have moved? Yu Ban hurriedly asked.

Zhu Wenjun said in a low voice, "The lower pass is not moving, everything is normal over there." It's just that ~ there are people in many places in the city who announce the news of the great victory of the capital city, and some people even bewitch the people to support Delon's accession to the throne. ”

"What? That's not to be suppressed quickly. ”

"These people should have been premeditated, and the people sent were actually repulsed."

Yu Ban's heart tightened, "How many people do they have?" ”

"There are not many people, but they are very scattered and not conducive to arrest. Moreover, there are many nursing homes in the minister's palace. ”

The flesh on Yu Ban's face trembled, gritted his teeth and said, "Dispatch people from outside the school field and kill, no matter who it is, they will all be killed." ”

Zhu Wenjun nodded, lowered his head and walked down. The courtiers didn't have the heart to listen to Du Huaizhi's praise of virtue, and when they looked at Zhu Wenjun, many people began to guess. Especially Wu Guangguang, he glanced at Duan Lang inadvertently. He found that Duan Lang today had a faint smile on his face all the time. This expression suddenly made Wu Guangguang feel a trace of fantasy in his heart.

Du Huaizhi finished singing the merits of Emperor Yuning and began to announce the merits of the Southern Theater to everyone. Of course, these exploits are attributed to the crown prince.

After reciting these preludes, Du Huaizhi was preparing to implore the emperor to bless the virtue chapter in the capacity of sacrificial wine, and to take charge of the country in accordance with the will of heaven. I heard the seemingly sleeping Prince Hong say in a loud voice, "Wait a minute. ”

Prince Hong interrupted Du Huaizhi to continue, but Du Huaizhi was stunned, everyone looked at Prince Hong suspiciously.

Yu Ban's brows tightened, and his face showed anger, "Your Royal Highness, if you interrupt such a grand ceremony, aren't you afraid of arousing the wrath of the heavens?" ”

Yu Ban looked at him threateningly, which meant to warn Prince Hong not to go too far, otherwise his prince's mansion would not exist.

Prince Hong didn't seem to heed the forbidden warning, and continued, "Du Huaizhi, as a sacrificial wine, since you have finished talking about the Southern Theater, you should also talk about the merits of the Western Theater. Perhaps you don't know that in the Western Theater headed by Delong, all the generals and officers have worked together to repel the Western Vietnamese army and kill the enemy commander Han Pingzi. Isn't this merit worthy of celebration by the whole world? ”

"What~ The Western Vietnamese army repulsed?"

"They~ They actually killed Han Pingzi?"

The ministers in the audience immediately began to discuss, except for a few ministers who knew the inside story, most of them did not know the news.

The old Hanlin Wang Shidu shouted excitedly, "This is God bless me Daxia, His Royal Highness Delong is mighty, and the western generals ~ mighty!" ”

"His Royal Highness Delong is mighty~The western soldiers are mighty~!"

Many ministers shouted along, and even many guards in the school yard also shouted in unison.

Yu Ban's face trembled, and his eyes showed murderous intent. Dezhang was even more angry, and these words of praise seemed to slap him in the face.

Yu Ban sneered, "Everyone, give me a moment of silence." ”

After Yu Ban finished speaking, the school ground gradually calmed down, and Yu Ban continued, "Benxiang has just learned this good news, and it is indeed worth celebrating. It seems that today is really a good day, and I am happy in the summer. It just so happened that after His Royal Highness Dezhang ascended the throne, he could send a holy decree as a new emperor and solemnly commend all the soldiers in our western region. ”

As soon as Yu Ban's voice fell, without waiting for Chu Baoxiong and others to echo, he heard Zhang Ruming shouting loudly.

"Who said that Dezhang ascended the throne, according to Emperor Yuning's will, this new emperor candidate, this official feels that His Royal Highness Delong is more qualified. You say~ Isn't it! ”

Dali Temple Qing Fan Cheng shouted loudly, "His Royal Highness Delong is a candidate for the decree of the gods, and no one is qualified to ascend the throne except him." ”

"Not bad~ Delong is on the throne and conforms to the will of heaven."

"The great victory in the west, this is a congratulatory gift to His Royal Highness Delong, and support His Royal Highness Delong's accession to the throne."

The ministers on Wu Guangguang's side shouted loudly one by one. The news of the great victory in the west seemed to give them chicken blood.

Delong calmly looked at Dezhang with a dark face on the high platform, and Yu Ban's body trembled slightly.

"Okay, today, the old man will see how you rebels and thieves can prevent His Royal Highness Dezhang from ascending the throne. Whoever comes, whoever makes a noise, pulls out the noon gate and immediately beheads him. ”

After Yu Ban finished speaking, he looked at Prince Hong, "Your Royal Highness, it seems that this is all your idea." Do you want to see the wrath of the new king? If His Royal Highness is not afraid of the blood flowing in this school, then continue. ”

Without waiting for Prince Hong to speak, he heard Duan Lang laugh, "Yu Ban, you are wrong to blame the old prince." Inside and outside the school field, it is all under the idea. Since Emperor Yuning has a will first, then it will be determined according to the will. His Royal Highness Delong led all the soldiers in the west to kill the Western Vietnamese army and triumphed, shouldn't he ascend the throne according to his will? ”

"It's you~ Hmph, the milky little kid, I don't think I really dare to kill you." Yu Ban looked at Duan Lang with a fierce look.

"Why, against the will of the first emperor and privately detaining important ministers in the court, are you trying to rebel against Yu Ban?" Duan Lang sneered.

Prince Dezhang couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted loudly, "Come on, pull out the traitor Duan Lang and behead him!" ”

"No~!"

A forbidden army standard commander agreed, turned around and waved his hand, and more than a dozen forbidden army guards rushed towards Duan Lang.

Whew~! Puff~! More than a dozen long knives were waved, and the guards who rushed over were suddenly in different places. The important ministers on and off the stage froze in shock, and they found that at some point, more than a dozen rattan armor guards actually arrived at Duan Lang's side. The one who killed the forbidden army was actually the Imperial Forest Army's vine armor guard.

Just when everyone was stunned, Duan Lang stretched out his hand and pointed at Yu Ban.

"Come on, Yu Ban is suspected of murdering the emperor's relatives and relatives, and he will take it down for Ben Shuai!"

"No!"

Xiang Tiangu Fan and the others, who were dressed in rattan armor guard armor, agreed, and rushed to the high platform with a long knife in hand.
