The Court of the Black Sword.

In an inn in the imperial capital.

"I've seen the first sister, the second sister. ”

A woman in red saluted to Taiyue and Hualiuying respectively, and her delicate face was full of respect.

Yu Taiyue hummed softly and glanced at the woman in red in front of her.

This woman is the hall master of the Vermilion Bird Hall, Nie Hongyi.

The only female hall master in the four halls.

Chu Qiren's younger sister.

He is also the strongest one, reaching the Tongtian Realm.

"I don't know why the first sister came to look for her subordinates?"

Nie Hongyi lowered his posture and said.

Facing the first sister of the Divine Sect in front of her, she didn't dare to do anything disrespectful.

"Sect Leader's Holy Decree, I order you to go with me to the Black Sword Imperial Family, and designate a new emperor, there must be no mistakes, are you willing to go with me?"

Yu Taiyue said.

"Obey the Lord's Commandment. ”

Nie Hongyi didn't ask much and accepted the order.

Meanwhile.

In the court of the Black Sword Palace.

Hexiu's tone was not good, and he said in a deep voice to Gongsun Chang: "Lord Gongsun, you have repeatedly stopped this prince, you are determined to oppose this prince, and you think that this prince is not Mingjun, so how about you inherit this throne?!"

As soon as this remark came out.

Suddenly the court fell into a brief silence.

Gongsun Chang pounced and knelt down towards Zhao Xuanji: "The old minister doesn't dare, it's just that the throne is very important, and please think twice about the queen." ”

The minister on the side of the four princes spoke: "Weichen believes that although the second prince is the queen's concubine, the Black Sword Royal Court belongs to the people of the royal court, and we should indeed be cautious, and we should choose a Ming monarch." ”

Weichen also believes that the second prince lacks the posture of an emperor and is not suitable to inherit the throne. ”

"The Black Sword Royal Court is located in the Extreme Northern Wasteland, a barren land. From ancient times to the present, all the people of our royal court want to find a land with fertile water and soil to thrive. ”

"And the old minister Guan The second prince usually has a temperament, and he is not suitable to lead the people of the royal court to prosperity and strength, and only the third prince is the best candidate to inherit the throne. In this way, the royal court had hope and left this desolate Far Northern Wasteland. ”

"Fart. ”

On Hexiu's side, an important minister said: "I think that with the second prince leading the Black Sword Royal Court, we can be prosperous and strong." ”

"The third prince has always lacked experience and acted decisively enough, so he is not suitable to be the lord of the royal court. ”

"No, no, no, the four princes are extraordinary, full of poetry and books, and have the resources to govern the world, so he should inherit the throne and lead the people of the royal court to prosperity and strength. ”

"Queen, with all due respect, the minister thinks that it is the most suitable second prince. ”

"Three princes, the throne must be inherited by the three princes, you must not be reckless, you must not be reckless!"

In order to promote his own prince to the throne, a group of ministers quarreled, and no one let anyone.

The court was in a state of bustle.

"You are so bold, you think that a few words can prevent this prince from ascending the throne?

Hexiu didn't know when he took a long black sword from his minister and held it high in his hand.

"Look what this is!"

He said in a loud voice, raising his sword to scan the ministers who opposed his accession to the throne.

Someone was shocked: "What do you want to do with your sword?"

"This is the court, don't mess around, don't commit murder!"

"Wait, this sword ......"

Some ministers had sharp eyes and felt that the sword in Hexiu's hand was quite familiar.

The scabbard of the sword was black, and it was carved with the pattern of a dragon entrenched, and it was extremely carved and looked extraordinary.

"It's the sword of the Son of Heaven!"

Some ministers exclaimed in surprise and recognized the origin of the sword.

"It is indeed the sword of the Son of Heaven. ”

"How could the Sword of the Son of Heaven be in the hands of the Second Prince?"

"Could it be that Heyu gave it to him?"

Hexiu held the sword of the Son of Heaven aloft in a proud posture, causing an uproar.

"Since you have recognized the Sword of the Son of Heaven, then the old minister does not need to introduce more. ”

A minister beside Hexiu said loudly: "As we all know, the sword of the Son of Heaven is only worthy of the future king, if the sword of the Son is in the hands of the second prince today, it means that he is the heir to the throne recognized by the previous emperor, and he is the crown prince!"

"Do you still want to oppose the second prince's accession to the throne and not take the will of the former emperor into account?"

When Zhao Xuanji saw this scene, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Hexiu's ascension to the throne was what she meant.

The sword of the Son of Heaven was naturally given to Hexiu by her.

"No, how can the Sword of the Son of Heaven be in your hands?"

Gongsun Chang kept his eyes on the sword of the Son of Heaven: "The old minister has never seen His Majesty give the sword of the Son of Heaven, how did you get it?"

"Are you questioning me?"

Hexiu's eyes were cold, and he drew his sword in vain.

The blade of the sword shone with a dazzling cold light.

The cold light slashed straight down.

The cold blade slashed at Gongsun Chang, who had no time to dodge.

cut off one of Gongsun's arms on the spot.

Gongsun Chang's eyes were split, his face was full of pain, and he covered his broken arm and stepped back.

"You, you actually did it to the old man above the court. ”

"Hexiu, do you still have the royal law in your eyes, you and you ......"

Gongsun Chang said hysterically, and the blood stained his palms red, dripping down, causing some of the surrounding courtiers to retreat in a panic.

No one expected that Hexiu would suddenly make a move and cut off one of Gongsun Chang's arms.

However, there were still people who were in danger and immediately sealed the acupoints for Gongsun Chang to stop the bleeding, and sent someone to ask for a royal doctor.

"The sword of the Son of Heaven is opened with yin and yang, held in spring and autumn, and is owned by the Son of Heaven. ”

"Isn't this sword qualified to teach his courtiers?"

Hexiu held the sword and looked at Gongsun Chang: "The sword of the Son of Heaven has been returned to this prince, and it is remembered that Gongsun is the confidant of his father, and he has worked hard for the royal court for so many years, this prince can spare you from death, and only take you an arm, you should be glad for the kindness of this prince." ”

When Gongsun Chang heard this, his expression froze.

Whoever has the sword of the Son of Heaven can indeed hold the authority of the Son of Heaven, and can kill the ministers of the court, and even the princes and common people.

Has the ability to cut first and then play.

But according to Hexiu's statement, the other party did not take his life on the spot, but still had to be grateful to him?

Gongsun Chang gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence from between his teeth: "Since you want this throne, then the throne belongs to you, and the old minister has no objection." ”

So far, Gongsun Chang has chosen to save his life.

Seeing Gongsun Chang's compromise, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he immediately stood up and questioned Hexiu: "Second brother, this sword of the Son of Heaven is nothing more than the queen mother's gift to you!

"The second prince must not be angry, this is above the court, what is there to be calm, don't move the idea of killing. ”

"Dare to ask if this sword of the Son of Heaven was really handed over to you by His Majesty before his death?"

Someone asked in a low voice, and the corner of his eye did not forget to glance at Zhao Xuanji.

When he said this, he wanted to make the ministers suspect that the sword of the Son of Heaven was privately handed over to Hexiu by Zhao Xuanji.

"Yes, this matter is by no means idle, forgive Weichen for questioning. ”

"During Your Majesty's reign, Wei Chen has never heard that Your Majesty has given the Sword of the Son of Heaven. ”

"The origin of this sword......

Seeing that the minister questioned the origin of the Sword of the Son of Heaven, a trace of coldness flashed in Hexiu's eyes, and he was just about to speak, when Zhao Xuanji's voice sounded at this time.

"Enough, don't question it. ”

Zhao Xuanji raised her eyebrows and said: "Above the main hall, you are noisy, what kind of system do you have, and you still put me, the queen, in your eyes?"

As soon as Zhao Xuanji spoke, everyone hurriedly shut up and retreated behind the three princes.

Zhao Xuanji glanced at the ministers and said in an unquestionable tone: "The succession to this throne is nothing more than choosing one of the four princes. The sword of the Son of Heaven was given to Hexiu by the queen. ”

"The queen thinks that this throne should be given to ......"

She deliberately softened her tone.

His gaze swept over the three princes one by one, and finally fell on Hexiu, the meaning was very obvious.

But before she could say anything, she was interrupted by a cold voice.

"The ownership of this throne does not lie with you, not with you, nor with a small sword of the Son of Heaven. ”

A cold voice came from outside the court.

Clearly in the ears of all.

"The ownership of the throne lies in the Divine Cult, and in the thoughts of the head of my family. ”
