Chapter XXIV
Coupled with the North Mountain Division, the rest of the patriarchs all declared their submission to Xuanyue.
As for the He family, because of their patriarch's wrong judgment, their family has lost its former glory since then.
The He family's officials in the court were deposed, and the He family's army also chose to surrender surrounded by the Praetorian Guard and the armies of other families.
Their fiefdoms were reclaimed, and the entire clan was relegated to the remote wilderness of the east to survive. It was a barren land, where many of the exiled families lived.
There are no resources, bad weather, it's hell. This is the biggest punishment for a family, and the extermination of the nine clans is just a human head, but in this way, it gives these families a hope for life, and then survives in pain.
The second part is to collect the power of the capital, and the third step is to collect the clan.
In this world, unless you return to the mountains and forests, or the monks who have escaped from the red dust, you can't get around the word clan no matter what.
The royal family of the Northern Wilderness is the Helian family, which is a large clan. At the beginning, Kunlun Khan led the entire Helian family to defeat several other families in the wasteland and established the Northern Wilderness, so the Kunlun Khan is the descendant of the royal family.
Because the current Son of Heaven is young and has no heirs, the throne will be inherited by Xiaozong.
For the clan, they prefer to have a strong person to rule the entire royal family, which can not only maintain the stability of the royal family, but also allow them to put their worries on the back. As long as the emperor's throne is secure, then they can always enjoy glory and wealth.
Zong Zhengling stood in front of Xuan Yue, his expression always remained solemn, tilting his head, and letting the sergeant with a sharp blade beside him stand beside him.
"Aren't you ready to speak?" Xuanyue's long eyelashes drooped downward.
Zong Zhengling held his head high and said coldly: "If the eldest princess wants to seize power and execute the old man, why bother to find these soldiers beside her." The old man is not frightened, he wants to kill or chop, let you dispose of it! ”
Xuan Yue let out a long sigh: "You just can't look down on women in power, the emperor of Zhou was originally the queen, she can become the emperor, why are you still stubborn?" ”
Zong Zhengling snorted coldly: "Although the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou is our opponent, he is also a person whom the old man respects very much. Back then, the old man once went out with the Great Khan and saw the majesty of the Great Zhou Emperor. She shuttled through the army of thousands of troops, killing enemy generals, how majestic. ”
After speaking, Zong Zhengling looked Xuanyue up and down: "People are the power that they have seized in a dignified manner, and all the yang schemes used are above board, and the throne is also orthodox, and no one questions it." The old man is not a pedantic person, but seeing that you have endured for so many years, everything used is mostly conspiracy and trickery, but if you become the emperor, the country is bound to be in chaos. ”
Zong Zhengling said in a hateful voice: "Everything you do will be engraved on the bamboo slips with blood. Your biography must be worse than the most tyrannical king in the wasteland. Our historians will not let a woman leave a bright image in the history books, which is a shame for the Northern Wilderness. Even if you are in hell in the future, you will hear the curses of the Hereafter! ”
"Nonsense!" Xuan Yue suddenly interrupted Zong Zhengling's words, and a smile like a madness suddenly appeared on her face, "You couldn't help me when I was alive, why should I be afraid of them after I die!" ”
Xuanyue got up slowly, her movements were not big, but her back was cast by the candle flame on the mural of the dragon and phoenix, which was very long.
Xuanyue walked towards Zong Zhengling step by step, her seemingly delicate figure, but at this moment, her body seemed to have great majesty, which made Zong Zhengling's face change greatly.
Finally, Xuanyue came to Zong Zhengling.
Looking at the old face in front of him, looking at him with a shocked expression, Xuan Yue slowly closed her eyes, this moment seemed to go back to him six years ago, wearing a tattered clothes, and staring blankly at the full hall of the sect.
At that time, it was this old man who stared at Xuanyue, allowing many clans to talk about her, and after twenty-seven tests in this hall, it was clear that she was a descendant of Kunlun Khan.
Xuanyue sighed slowly: "Zongzheng Ling, what you said is right, Xuanyue is indeed not enough to deter such a huge country. But the country cannot be without a king one day, I am the daughter of Kunlun Khan, and I am the leader of the Blue Wolf God Cult. When I ascend the throne, I will receive the blessings of the gods and the love of the people. ”
Zong Zhengling closed his eyes and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xuan Yue.
"I know what you have to say, the Right Virtuous King Helian Xiong has great achievements in battle, and his prestige is on par with Helian Hu. But he is a pure general, a martial artist. Do you know what the consequences of the warriors are in power, they are belligerent, and they want to use war to get their best interests. We can't spend a lot of time! ”
Zong Zhengling seemed to be moved, and he muttered: "But pacifying the Central Plains is a strategy set by the first emperor. ”
Xuanyue smiled, she casually handed Zong Zhengling a booklet, and said, "Sometimes, you don't have to use a knife to defeat the other party. ”
Zong Zhengling opened it, opened it and glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes widened, looking at Xuanyue in disbelief.
He didn't expect that Xuanyue had set up so many bureaus in the past few years.
Originally, Xuan Yue had been preparing to seize the imperial power of the Northern Wilderness for the past six years, but now it seems that she has been sure that she will definitely seize this power, and even made arrangements in the Central Plains a long time ago.
Zong Zhengling sweat appeared on his wrinkled head, and he didn't dare to imagine how terrifying this young-looking woman in front of him must be.
……
And so it went on for seven days.
Seven days, known as the first seven in folklore.
This day is the day when the souls of the dead return. In the royal family, it is also the time when the body is buried in the imperial tomb.
It had rained several times in the past seven days, but it seemed that there was no way to dispel the smell of blood in the air. In the past few days, there have been obvious changes in the courtiers, promotions, debasements, and even direct deposition, some people are happy and some are worried.
After the emperor's funeral, Xuanyue was dressed in a red dragon robe, which was bright and dazzling.
In the past seven days, she has suppressed all the voices of opposition, and with the support of the royal family, no one can stop her.
"Emperor Chenyue, dare to use Xuanmu. The first emperor died and returned to the heavenly realm......"
The edict of enthronement turned into green smoke and rose into the sky with the flames. The priests of the Blue Wolf God Sect around them knelt down at the same time, and at this moment, Xuan Yue became the only person who mastered the two major forces of imperial power and religion.
Her power is unprecedentedly enormous, which no one dares to imagine.
In the entire Northern Wilderness, she is the sky.
The Northern Wilderness was founded by fire, and Xuanyue's red dragon robe set off her with a sense of majesty.
The gates of the imperial city opened, and a large number of messengers flew out, spreading the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne to all parts of the Northern Wilderness.
