Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 35 Where is the Fortune of Heaven?

His Majesty, the new emperor of the Great Chu State, is now in a good mood.

Sitting on the long-awaited dragon chair, facing the trembling and sincere civil and military officials, he only felt refreshed when his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and the bones in his whole body seemed to be lighter.

With the support of the immortals, he led his troops to a sudden attack last night, and after some fierce fighting and killing, he finally sat on the throne that symbolized the only supreme ruler of the Great Chu State.

Although the emperor and the crown prince were not caught, although a few beautiful concubines who had been coveting committed suicide, although the losses of immortals and soldiers were a bit large, and although they were scolded by a group of officials led by the prime minister on the first day of ascending the throne, these are just trivial things that are not enough to worry about.

The emperor and the eldest princess were sealed in the big tree that suddenly appeared, even though the big tree was as hard as a stone, but as long as you took a little time to slowly sharpen and saw, sooner or later there will be a time to dig them out.

What is the death of a few beautiful concubines! There are so many beauties in the world, and if you recruit a show girl, will the emperor be worried about not being able to find a beautiful woman?

Some of the immortals died, and that's a good thing! He doesn't like to have a group of people behind him pointing fingers, the only pity is that the immortals didn't all die, so the world is peaceful!

The subordinates suffered heavy casualties, although it was a pity but it was nothing, and it would be retrained in the future. In these years, there are people everywhere who are willing to eat food and become soldiers, and after two or three years of training, a group of elite soldiers can be retrained.

The ministers don't accept themselves, it doesn't matter, just kill all those who don't obey. From the morning to now, he has killed at least twenty ministers, and each of them has been copied all over the house, and no one dares to chirp crookedly until the most difficult consequence.

He leaned on the dragon chair, and did not rush to retreat from the court, nor did he let the soldiers clean up the Golden Palace, but let the trembling ministers slowly discuss on the bloody Jinluan Palace, discussing matters such as what was needed to ascend the throne, and discussing how to characterize the first emperor and the first prince...... And so on and so forth.

The blood of more than twenty loyal and righteous courtiers spilled on the Jinluan Palace, making the former majestic and sacred place a fishy smell. The ministers were not used to this kind of fishy smell, and they all had sad faces, but he liked it very much, and smiled.

It's not the smell of blood, it's the taste of success! The smell of success will not get tired of smelling no matter how much you smell!

At the back door of the Jinluan Palace, Zhu Quan, who was dressed in a black robe, shook his head and slowly walked out.

He used to yearn for that position, pretending to be honest and simple for it, killing his father, who was kind to him, constantly stirring up the relationship between those barbarian seedlings in the 100,000 mountains and the Great Chu State for it, training his subordinates to arrange spies for it, and turning natural disasters into human disasters and poisoning creatures for it......

And now, although he couldn't sit in that seat himself, he manipulated his puppet to sit on it. The throne that was once high above and far away sat just a monkey in a dragon robe.

The guy was still smiling happily, laughing quickly and triumphantly.

But for him, he found that the seat was actually worthless, and it was not worth the effort he spent at all!

The reason why Zhu Quan was able to persuade the sect commander to agree to support Xiong Hao's usurpation of the throne was not because he was eloquent, nor was it because Xiong Hao was taken seriouslyβ€”both he and Xiong Hao were just little ants who were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the ancestors who had cultivated for hundreds of years. The reason why they were able to get the approval of their ancestors was that the key was their fortune.

If Xiong Hao ascends the throne, he can get the fortune of the Great Chu State. Then, with the help of the power of this heavenly fortune, he can help the patriarch break through the limit of the Ning Yuan realm and become the first monk in the history of Lao Junguan!

In order to achieve this goal, the patriarch did not hesitate to use several connections that had been prepared for many years to activate those volcanic lines; did not hesitate to break the prohibition that "immortals must not directly interfere in human affairs", and risked being crusaded by righteous people to support Xiong Ho's rebellion; He did not hesitate to dispatch nearly half of the current True Transmission disciples of his own sect to do this, and even issued an order "regardless of the cost......

All he wants is luck, and as for who is sitting on the dragon chair, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Zhu Quan looked at Xiong Hao's back from afar, and seemed to see his former self in the back.

In the past few decades, it has really been like a big dream, and it has only dawned on me until this moment.

When he woke up from the dream, he was no longer the King Ning who fantasized about being an emperor all day long, but Zhu Quan, who was firmly on the road to immortality!

After figuring out this, his heart was extremely happy, his spirit was also lifted, and the spirit of the whole person underwent subtle changes.

"Congratulations, junior brother!" A person who was also wearing a black robe walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Break through the heart barrier at such a moment, Nineteenth Senior Brother, you really deserve to be a natural cultivation seed!" ”

"The fifth senior brother has won the prize." Zhu Quan replied with a faint smile, "I'm just a junior who has only been a few years old, and there are still many places to learn from your senior brothers!" ”

"Although you are not as good as us for the time being, it is only a matter of time before you surpass us. Of the nineteen disciples of our Lao Junguan's generation, there is no second person except for the senior brother. If you are able to break through the mental barrier at this moment, you are taking a crucial step in your insight. Maybe when we reach the end of our lives in a few decades, we will ask you to help escort the reincarnation. ”

Zhu Quan didn't answer this question, but pouted towards the Jinluan Palace, and said with a little disdain: "This guy has wasted so much time, why don't we urge him?" ”

"There's no need to rush, what he's doing now is also a necessary process to get heavenly luck." The fifth senior brother seemed to think of something, and sighed, "It's a pity that we didn't do well and couldn't catch the emperor, otherwise it would be much more convenient to let the emperor concede directly." ”

"Fifth Senior Brother, don't say that! This is my poor plan, and it has nothing to do with you! ”

"Your plan is very good, but we haven't been able to implement it according to the plan......" The fifth senior brother didn't dwell on this issue, sighed depressedly, and suddenly said thoughtfully, "Nineteen, do you think that Changchun real person is reliable or not?" I don't think he's a trustworthy person! ”

"Regardless of whether he is trustworthy or not, he and his apprentice Sun Huangya have always subdued Ning Hun Tian for us and killed Zhang Huyi. And if he hadn't come forward to persuade him, many officials might not have supported the monkey-like guy inside! It's funny to say, street monkey performers often dress monkeys in all kinds of clothes, but they don't look like anything they wear. But he's obviously human, but he doesn't look like anything like ......."

"There is no mindfulness in the mind, and this is the case." The fifth senior brother commented lightly on the new emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom, and then said with some concern, "I'm going to go to Changchun Zhenren to have a look, that old ghost has been guarding the Baiyulou, and I don't know what the hell Lu Dao is messing with!" ”

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly froze and turned his head to look at the sky.

Zhu Quan also turned his head to look, only to see a vigorous purple qi slowly surging from the direction of the West Gate, compared to it, the purple qi obtained after Xiong Hao's successful usurpation was simply not worth mentioning!

"Who's that?" The fifth senior brother was taken aback and asked in a lost voice.

Zhu Quan shook his head, but after a little thought, he guessed the answer.

In fact, there is only one answer.

Except for the crown prince Xiong Er, who escaped from the city under the cover of the forbidden army's sect leader Xiong Qiuye last night, it is impossible for a second person in the entire Great Chu State to have this kind of luck.

It's just that...... What is Xiong Er doing when he comes back? Sent to death?

He frowned, putting himself in Xiong Er's situation, thinking about why the other party wanted to come back.

The troops loyal to their father and son had been defeated last night, and all but two of the leaders of the Seven Sects of the Forbidden Army had surrendered, and even their heads were hung on the city tower.

The masters who were loyal to their father and son had also been defeated last night, Ning Hutian was captured, Zhang Huyi was killed, Shen Anshi was seriously injured and fled, the eldest princess sealed herself in the ancient wood, and the master and apprentice of the Daoist were still separated by the big array, and they didn't know anything.

The ministers loyal to their father and son were bloodily suppressed and slaughtered, led by Prime Minister Shi, more than 20 people were wiped out, and only a few thousand people died before and after.

……

It stands to reason that after such a killing, there should not be many loyal people left. When the prince came back from this trip, there was no response inside, no reinforcements outside, and there was no other result except for death.

What can be said about his luck not only not declining, but becoming more and more powerful?

He couldn't figure it out, but the fifth senior brother thought more than him, and said directly: "You are guarding this guy here, urging him to hurry up and hold a ceremony to worship the sky, I'll go over and take a look!" ”

"Senior brother, take care!"

"Don't worry, I won't take any chances, I've always put safety first." As he spoke, the fifth senior brother took the sword light and flew towards the direction of the purple qi, and after a while, he disappeared behind the layers of palace walls.

Zhu Quan looked at the direction where the fifth senior brother had gone, and then looked at the court that was still in chaos and had no results, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and used a spell to transmit the message to Xiong Hao, asking him not to delay any longer and get down to business quickly!

No matter what is going on with the purple qi on the prince's side, as long as the business here is done, he doesn't bother to care whether this guy who is crowned by the monkey is a tyrant or is unloaded by the people to light the sky lantern!

Under his persuasion or warning, Xiong Hao finally became serious, and in a few words decided on the specifications and process of the enthronement ceremony, and immediately set off, taking less than half of the remaining ministers, surrounded by guards, towards the highest altar in the palace.

When the Son of Heaven ascended the throne in all dynasties, he had to sacrifice to heaven. Only after completing this step of the procedure can he be considered a legitimate emperor.

Zhu Quan followed the team from a distance, watching this mighty team slowly move away, his brows furrowed.

Although things seemed to be going well, he was still a little uneasy......

And at this time, the team led by the crown prince had already arrived outside the gate of the palace.

They defeated several waves of troops who tried to stop them along the way, and without even Wu Xie and Xiao Buyi making a move, just the agitated soldiers and civilians beat those Dongshan County Iron Guards who were still showing off their martial arts not long ago.

However, in front of the palace gates, they saw a large army waiting for them.

Xiong Hao's generals are by no means incompetent, they have already gathered all the elite soldiers of Dongshan County here, with all kinds of infantry archers, and even prepared roadblocks, putting on a posture of doing a big job.

"Xiong Er, it is already a blessing that you were able to escape last night. didn't find a place to hide, but returned to this Changning City, was he in a hurry to reunite with the dead ghost Lao Tzu? A gruff voice came from among the troops, "Do you think you are filial?" ”

"He who is the son of man should be filial, of course." This thrill and tribulation made the prince, who was still a little immature in the past, mature quickly, he had no fear, no embarrassment, and was not provoked by the other party, and replied loudly and confidently, "Avenge my father and eliminate harm for the country, this is my filial piety!" ”

"But have you ever thought that if you die here, your family will be doomed, this is a big unfilial piety!"

"Do you know that rebellion is a major crime? Even if your family is dying together, you are also worthy of talking about filial piety? ”

The voice choked, and after a few seconds, it shouted at the group, "What about you? Come and accompany him to his death? Last night the entire forbidden army was finished, and today dozens of ministers were killed and the whole family was killed, do you also want to die with them? Are you not afraid of death? ”

In the silence, a gray-haired old man stood up on crutches with the support of a young man beside him.

"The old and decaying tiger is the sacrificial wine of the country's eunuch. This morning, when they learned that the rebel had usurped the throne, the students of the Guozijian rushed out, wanting to eliminate the rebel and uphold justice. ”

"They're all dead, they died here, and the bodies were just taken away from that corner, and if you had come earlier, you'd have had time to take a look at them."

The old man looked at the bloodstains at the gate of the palace, especially the dazzling scarlet on the corner of the wall in the distance, and tears rained down.

"I also advised them in the morning to save their useful bodies for the future. How did they answer? ”

"Jingshui, you repeat their answer at that time!"

The young man who was holding him nodded, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Three hundred years of the country's soldiers, the festival of righteous death, is today!" ”

The old man stomped his cane on the ground fiercely, and his voice was so loud that it didn't look like an old man: "You ask us if we want to die?" Afraid of death? That's our answer! ”

"Of course we are afraid of death, but how has the Great Chu State treated the people of Changning City for three hundred years? We all remember! ”

"The Day of the Righteous Death is today!"

With his roar, the people who followed the prince also roared one after another. For a time, the roar of "Righteous Death Festival is today" came and went, and they became one.

This roar resounded through the sky, and even the dark clouds in the sky were shaken away, and the elite soldiers of Dongshan County who faced them were even more frightened, and even the weapons in their hands were a little unstable.

The Fifth Senior Brother, who was watching this scene in mid-air with a sword light, had a sinking face, shook his head after a moment, and turned to leave.

The situation is like this, and I am afraid that the palace gate will no longer be able to be defended - the two men on the left and right of the prince are monks, as well as the two banshees in the back, plus so many warriors who swear to serve the country to the death, they can't stop it just by relying on the army of Dongshan County.

Unless it is to ask the elders of the sect to make a move, the only person who can buy time now is Changchun Zhenren......

He flew a little way and couldn't help but look back again.

That majestic purple aura had become even stronger, like a purple dragon, circling and roaring in the sky.

This is the hearts of the people that have been condensed in the Great Chu Kingdom for three hundred years, and what the people want is where the fortune of heaven lies!
