Chapter 366: The Battle for the Succession Begins!

"Raise the holy coffin and bury it!"

The priest counted the hour and shouted in a high-pitched roar.

The wind was blowing and the drums were beating louder. Countless people present knelt down and saluted in unison, shouting: "Congratulations to my emperor, long live my emperor." ”

Wave after wave of sound was as violent as the crash of the waves against the rocks of the cliff.

Suddenly, just as the holy coffin was lifted, many soldiers wearing fiery red armor surged out from all directions, and a cadre of soldiers violently occupied almost the entire Abyss Cemetery.

For a while, the atmosphere suddenly reversed, and the civil and military officials and concubines all looked at this scene with horror on their faces.

Xu Muchuan's eyes flashed with a light slightly, and he casually glanced at the Red Fire Sergeant who kept rushing out, and then scolded loudly: "Where is the commander of the Red Fire Army?" What is the sin of daring to cause unrest at the time of the Holy Burial? ”

Xiang Yusong, the commander of the Red Fire Army, slowly stepped out of the ranks of military generals, and after just glancing at Xu Muchuan, he gritted his teeth and walked to Jun Yetian's side without paying attention, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, everything has been prepared, just wait for Your Highness's order." ”

Xiang Yusong didn't deliberately lower his voice, and the civil and military generals around him were stunned, and their mouths opened wide in panic, guessing that something rebellious might happen next.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is a gray old man in his sixties, and he doesn't want to be involved in the struggle for power and profit, so he has no position. At this moment, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu saw that all the surroundings were surrounded by the Red Fire Army, and it seemed that it was the order of the Great Prince, Yetian, his expression sank and he said bluntly: "Today is the day of Your Majesty's holy burial, so let's put aside all the battles for the time being!" ”

"Old man Tang, since you have chosen neutrality, don't speak, be careful of getting into trouble." Without waiting for Jun Yetian and the others to speak, a fourth-grade courtier who wanted to do his best to slap in with Jun Yetian hurriedly opened his mouth and reprimanded.

A fourth-grade official dared to speak to the officials of the sixth department like this, if it was placed in the past, I don't know how many times he would have died. But once today's day passes, the situation will be turned upside down, and no one knows who will be tomorrow's Ministry of Rites. Therefore, with the support of Jun Yetian, of course this four-grade official dared to open his mouth to reprimand the Ministry of Rites.

Jun Yetian was silent, as if acquiescing to the words of this four-grade official.

In just the blink of an eye, Xu Muchuan and Jun Luoyan were protected in the innermost part by the accompanying officers of the Wind Cavalry Army, in case the surrounding Red Fire Army attacked and killed.

The sparkling blades of blood stood in all corners of the Abyss Cemetery, turning the originally sad and sad atmosphere into a bloody killing. Some petty officials and eunuchs and palace maids who didn't know the situation were all trembling in place.

In the Shenyuan cemetery, hundreds of courtiers, including Xu Muchuan, were surrounded by the Red Fire Army. Maybe in the next moment, just wait for Jun Yetian to give an order, and the entire Beiyuan court will be purged again.

"Your Highness, if you drink the Red Fire Army now, this official can act as if he doesn't know anything." Xu Muchuan closed his eyes, looked directly at Jun Yetian twenty meters in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

Jun Luoyan stood beside Xu Muchuan and didn't speak, but just stared at Jun Yetian and the others with a majestic face.

"Lord Xu, when I first met you two years ago, you were only appointed by your father as the Imperial Historian for the first time. Now, Lord Xu is on the verge of being a first-class emperor, and it only took two years to complete the road that is difficult for others to reach in their lifetimes, and this king is shocked every time he thinks about it. ”

Jun Yetian carried one hand on his back and responded with a smile: "If this king knew that Lord Xu had such skills two years ago, he would definitely use all means to make Lord Xu belong to this king." It's a pity that after going around and around, Lord Xu still became the enemy of this king. ”

"When this official was in office, I don't know how many assassinations he encountered, so there must be His Highness among them! Therefore, it is His Highness who insists on forcing the official to be your enemy, not that the official wants to oppose His Highness. Speaking of this, for some reason, a pink shadow flashed in Xu Muchuan's eyes, and the bottom of his eyes suddenly dimmed a little.

"The previous things have passed, and Lord Xu is broad-minded and open-minded, so he will definitely not care about these small things. It's useless to say more, this king wants to ask Lord Xu again, are you willing to belong to this king? This king promises that he will reuse Lord Xu regardless of his previous suspicions, under one person and above ten thousand. ”

Jun Yetian directly brushed it off, as if the assassinations Xu Muchuan had experienced in the past were not worth mentioning.

"Your Highness, this official is also asking you again, if Your Highness doesn't drink the Red Fire Army, you have no way back." Xu Muchuan sneered, and didn't take Jun Yetian's so-called empty check in his eyes at all.

Under one man, above ten thousand. Isn't Xu Muchuan in this position now?

The corners of Jun Yetian's mouth twitched slightly, and it seemed that he had already had Xu Muchuan's answer. After all, if Xu Muchuan wanted to belong to his command, he agreed two years ago, and there would be no today. Jun Yetian's questioning was just a hint of hope.

"Presumptuous! Night, do you know what you're doing? Suddenly, there was a loud cheer from the crowd of concubines.

Although the concubine wearing the phoenix is old, there is no way to stop the graceful and noble atmosphere. She took a few steps towards Jun Yetian's position with steady steps, and said with soft eyes: "Yetian, the mother concubine doesn't want you to compete for this position, take advantage of the fact that there is still room for circulation, stop it!" ”

"Mother, I'm sorry, the emperor wants to fight, and wants to see if his father's vision is right or wrong." Jun Yetian is very arrogant, but he still has great respect for his mother who taught him carefully.

"You ......" Jun Yetian's mother concubine's lips turned white instantly, and she didn't know how to admonish her.

"Send Concubine Hua and Concubine Li and other ladies to leave the Shenyuan cemetery." Jun Yetian waved his hand and ordered directly at the group of Red Fire soldiers beside him.

Since ancient times, every time in order to compete for the position of emperor, blood has to be shed. Today, there are no accidents.

After Xu Muchuan saw the concubines leave the Shenyuan cemetery, he was also slightly relieved in his heart, after all, there was no need to involve the harem in the battle for the throne. Jun Ye Tian's practice of taking away the concubines and leaving here, Xu Muchuan still admires it. After all, Jun Yetian did not use Jun Luo's biological mother, Concubine Li, as a threat.

However, even if Jun Yetian had this idea, Xu Muchuan would not let Jun Yetian get his wish. Because Concubine Li's safety has long been counted in the palm of Xu Muchuan's hand. No matter what Jun Yetian does, Jun Luo's biological mother, Concubine Li, will not have an accident.

"Kill!"

When the concubine left, Jun Yetian's eyes slowly condensed with a raging killing intent, and then he roared hoarsely and in a low voice.
