Chapter 23: Gathering Power
The road leading from the palace gate to the Golden Luang Hall was full of soldiers in armor.
Walking in this jungle of knives and axes gives people a sense of pressure out of thin air. The patriarchs bowed their heads and walked past the sergeant.
On the Jinluan Palace, the dragon chair is still empty. Only a few lamps were lit in the quiet hall, and dim flames burned slowly in the hall.
There was also a chair under the dragon chair, and Xuan Yue sat on it, just a little lower than the dragon chair. Sitting here, you can clearly overlook the entire court.
This chair used to be used by Helian Hu.
When the patriarchs saw Xuanyue sitting on this chair, their faces suddenly changed.
"Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, what do you mean by this? The old minister heard that His Majesty had just died, and there was an edict in the palace, where are the generals of the Praetorian Guard now, and the noon gate ......" An elderly patriarch suddenly asked loudly, but his questioning stopped abruptly.
Xuan Yue interrupted him to continue speaking, and said coldly; "Are you questioning Hongu?"
The old patriarch's tone was stagnant, but he still sighed and said, "At the very least, we should also call King Zuo Xian over to discuss." Such a big matter should also be discussed by the ministers. ”
Xuanyue sneered: "You can't see Helian Hu anymore, Your Majesty was designed and killed by Helian Hu, and now the Praetorian Guards have been ordered by Your Majesty to kill Helian Hu." ”
"It can't be! How could Your Majesty mobilize the Praetorian Guard! "The name of the person who spoke was He Anzhi, and he was the patriarch of the He family.
The North Courtyard of the Northern Wasteland is mainly controlled by the big clans in the original wasteland, such as the Helian family, the Tuoba family, and the Wanyan family, while the South Courtyard is controlled by the He family and the Zhang family and other families who come to Chenglai.
He Anzhi has the face of a Central Plains person, which is inevitably a little surprising among the people of the Northern Wilderness. But they have great power in the Northern Wilderness, and they are qualified to defend the eight major families in the imperial capital, each of which has extremely strong strength.
He Anzhi originally belonged to Helian Hu's line, and it is worth mentioning that his daughter, that is, He Shuran, was Helian Hu who was pushed to the throne of the queen with all his might.
Xuan Yue said coldly: "He Anzhi, the Praetorian Guard is the royal army. Do you want to find death when you say this? ”
He Anzhi also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but in his heart, he didn't look down on the woman in front of him at all.
is just a pampered princess in the harem, that is, there is no one else in the royal family now, so she is just temporarily gaining power.
Once King Zuo Xian returns......
Click!
Behind him, there was a sudden sound of combat boots stomping on the ground, and a group of sergeants walked in carrying a corpse wrapped in a white cloth.
"Your Highness, Helian Hu's corpse is brought to verify his identity." Several sergeants replied on their knees.
At this time, the white cloth is lifted.
The body of Zuo Xian Wang Helian Hu was revealed.
He died a terrible death, and his head was cut with several huge cracks directly by an axe. The deaf husband was anxious to protect his wife, and was worried that Helian Hu would not die, so he cut a few more axes.
His head was a mess, but his face was unharmed. Someone had already wiped the blood on his face in advance, and several patriarchs around him immediately recognized that this was Helian Hu.
He Anzhi's reaction was the greatest, he took a few steps back, suddenly raised his head, and stared at Xuanyue in disbelief.
Xuan Yue glanced at Helian Hu's corpse with some disgust, and said in a deep voice: "A monarch killer, what qualifications does he have to send to the temple." Send the body to Dali Temple and bury it somewhere at random! ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the sergeant picked up the body and was about to walk out.
He Anzhi was sweating on his head, his face was pale at the moment, Zuoxian Wang Helian Hu was his backer, and now that the backer had fallen, he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.
He Anzhi tried to calm his emotions, and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty has died, and there are also the Queen Mother and the Empress. Please Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please invite the two ladies to come out and preside over the government. ”
Xuanyue was unmoved.
Long.
Xuanyue suddenly sneered and said, "He Anzhi, are you stupid?" ”
At the moment when Xuanyue let out this laugh, He Anzhi's nerves, which had been tense, finally couldn't bear it. He couldn't control the fear in his heart, and turned to leave.
He was surrounded by two brave soldiers, one behind the other.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the Jinluan Palace, several sharp knives and axes suddenly poked out from the outside and slashed heavily at the body of the first personal soldier.
The soldier was caught off guard and was cut on the head by the axe, and his head was immediately opened.
He Anzhi was shocked, only to find that outside the Jinluan Palace, a group of Praetorian Guards had surrounded him.
In this brief moment, He Anzhi suddenly understood what was going on.
He quickly turned his head, and the Praetorian Guards outside rushed in. The soldiers beside He Anzhi hurriedly blocked it, but they were chopped into meat puree in an instant.
He Anzhi's eyes were split, he turned his head and stared at Xuan Yue who was sitting next to the dragon chair with hatred, and suddenly said angrily: "I'll kill you!" ”
He wanted to take Xuanyue as a hostage so that he could get out of here.
But his plan still didn't succeed, and just as he was about to get close to Xuanyue, countless Praetorian Guards suddenly rushed out from in front of Xuanyue.
"Kill!"
The Praetorian Guards stood up and roared, surrounded He Anzhi, and hacked him to death.
Everything was done in front of all the patriarchs.
Xuanyue got up and said coldly: "Beishan has declared its allegiance to me, you can try it and see if you continue to follow Helian Hu or follow me." ”
If this was said by a man, perhaps the patriarchs would have followed.
But Xuanyue, she is a woman.
Women, when will they be able to take power?
Several patriarchs glanced at each other, they were all old foxes, and now that the situation is compelling, they are ready to agree, and when they return to the fiefdom, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, can you still manage it?
Xuanyue naturally saw through their thoughts, and there was a smile in her eyes.
She stood up and walked slowly to the patriarchs.
"My Helian family has been mighty since they took control of the royal family. It's a pity that most of my father's sons died young, and the only majesty was also killed by Helian Hu, a thief. ”
Xuanyue raised her head, her plain white neck looked particularly soft, she raised her eyebrows, and said coldly: "Now in this Helian family, I am the only one who is a descendant. I am the daughter of Kunlun Khan, I am the leader of the Blue Wolf God Cult, and I am the only guide of the Wolf God in the world. ”
Cult of the Blue Wolf God!
All the patriarchs stared at Xuanyue in surprise, they definitely didn't expect that this seemingly delicate woman would have such an identity.
Outside the Jinluan Palace, the sound of the heavy armor of the Praetorian Guards crashing continued to sound.
The forces of Helian Hu, King Zuoxian, were being eliminated one by one, and all the people of King Zuoxian's faction were either killed or imprisoned. Tomorrow's early dynasty may be a lot less.
Now, the Praetorian Guards, who had begun to kill in various forces, had begun to return.
The power is gathering into Xuanyue's hands little by little.
