Chapter 308: The Battle for the Throne
In the main hall of the palace, the palace door was closed, and Li Peiyan walked back and forth with an anxious expression outside the door.
A lot of things have happened in the last few days, but most of them are related to the spiritual world and have nothing to do with the world.
The collapse of the Hanging Temple and the death of the Buddha have certainly set off monstrous waves in the hearts of countless practitioners, but in the world, they are still operating according to the trajectory of the past.
It was the fall of the Xiling Sect, although there were twists and turns, and it was temporarily subsided with Zhao Nanhai's ascension to the position of the Sect.
The only thing that really frightened the world was the force that almost destroyed the Tang Kingdom a few days ago.
It's just that most people regard it as a natural disaster, and only a very small number of people know where that power comes from.
Although Li Peiyan's status is extremely high, there are only a few cultivators in the Cave Mystery Realm around him, and it is impossible for him to know the details of what happened that day.
Li Qingshan and Yan Se also remained silent about what happened that day.
The advent of Haotian represents a great significance.
It is that both of them have their own positions, and they both have the same fear and awe.
It was this jealousy and awe that made them choose to remain silent.
For Li Peiyan, his brother Li Zhongyi, the king of Tang, died soon because of that natural disaster, which is not a bad thing.
It's an unprecedented opportunity.
There are only two princes in the Tang Kingdom today.
The third prince Li Huiyuan and the sixth prince Amber.
Li Huiyuan is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he is dissolute, and he is not enough to plan at all.
Therefore, Li Zhongyi never expressed his intention to make Li Huiyuan the crown prince.
Now I'm afraid it's even more impossible.
And the other prince, although he is the queen's parent, is too young and is just a child, how can he bear the burden of the Tang Kingdom?
So he thought about it, only with the sword of the Son of Heaven, who had lost contact with the throne, and whose prestige in the government and the opposition was not low, was the most suitable to take over the throne of King Tang at this moment.
As the saying goes, brother ends up brother, this is also the ancestral motto of the Tang Kingdom.
As for Li Yu, the eldest princess of the Tang Kingdom, who had some good names in the government and the opposition, he never regarded it as a threat to him at all.
In the Tang Kingdom for nearly a thousand years, there has never been a woman to be the emperor, not before, and there will never be one in the future.
After thinking about it, Li Peiyan only felt that the time was extraordinarily long.
After his repeated inquiries, Li Zhongyi has been in a coma, and his breath is gradually declining.
Although he also has a little compassion in his heart, he hopes that his brother will not be able to sleep for a long time, so it is logical for him to stand up and grasp the overall situation.
If Li Zhongyi wakes up, although he also has a way to deal with it, it will eventually add a few variables.
With such a thought, he naturally couldn't settle down, and he looked a little coke-oven.
Li Huiyuan on the other side didn't look sad, but faintly had a little excitement that couldn't be concealed.
There is only one throne, and if his father is dead, he naturally has a great chance of ascending to the throne.
His younger brother is so young, even if he has the queen's demon girl to help, how can he compete with him?
What's more, he also has a sister Wang who is not weak in prestige and strength to help.
Although his sister Wang seems to have changed her temper in the past two years, she doesn't care much about him and doesn't force him to study, but he believes that in this kind of major event, Sister Wang will definitely stand on the same side as him.
….
In this way, their sister and brother joined forces, and the position of Tang King can be said to belong to him.
When he becomes the emperor, who else in the world can compete with him?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Xu Chuan's figure in his mind.
Two years ago, he was bullied miserably on Suzaku Street, and this shame was just a shame on weekdays, but if he became the master of the most powerful country in the world, he only needed to dispatch the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, what could the cultivator do?
He naturally didn't know how strong Xu Chuan was at the moment, but in his opinion, even if he was a legendary great cultivator who knew the fate realm, it was impossible to compete with the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, let alone the Tang Kingdom
。
How fast is it to be ashamed of the snow?
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but get more and more excited.
At this moment, a whining cry sounded in my ears.
But it's Amber, the sixth prince.
Although he is not very old, he knows a lot of things.
For example, his father, who had always loved him, seemed to be dying, and his beloved mother had not closed her eyes for several days in order to take care of his father.
But he couldn't do anything, so he was sad and sad.
I couldn't help but cry here.
Li Huiyuan's face was full of impatience, this cry not only interrupted his beautiful reverie, but also looked at the snot and tears on his cheap brother Amber's face, and he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
"Cry, cry, cry, you know cry, mourning star!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed Amber to the ground directly, and when he saw Amber crying louder, he was even more puzzled and kicked over.
"Don't cry, your legs will be broken if you cry again!"
Between the words, there is a lot of anger, and it doesn't look like a simple intimidation.
On the other side, Li Peiyan just glanced at it lightly, and a touch of disgust and coldness appeared in his eyes.
Li Huiyuan is really useless.
On this occasion, he humiliated his young brother in a grand manner.
Regardless of whether Li Zhongyi wakes up or not, he only needs to grasp this point, and the throne will not fall on Li Huiyuan's head.
At this moment, a figure slowly approached from a distance.
Although the people have not arrived, an invisible aura has made the atmosphere here a little solidified.
I saw that she was wearing a gold and black dress, wearing a golden crown, her eyebrows and eyes were cold and calm, and her every move had a graceful and luxurious temperament.
She is naturally Li Yu, the eldest princess of the Tang Kingdom.
Li Hui said with a happy face, "Sister Wang!"
However, he was overjoyed, only to receive only a calm, almost unfamiliar gaze.
There was even a bit of anger in it that made him tremble.
"Father is in danger, you have no sense of sorrow, your brother is on your side, and you are even more bullying, unfilial and unrighteous people, and you also have the face to laugh here?"
The cold words made the smile on Li Huiyuan's face freeze instantly.
He looked at Li Yu in disbelief, and couldn't believe that these ruthless words would come from her mouth.
Li Yu looked at him, and there was an indescribable sigh in his eyes.
She originally wanted to follow her mother's last wish and train Li Hunyuan to be a wise monarch like her father.
But more than ten years later, she has understood that this is simply impossible.
She has been deceiving herself, and she is dedicated to supporting her younger brother.
….
But Xu Chuan's appearance completely woke her up.
It also made her see many things clearly.
made her understand that King Tang was not only the supreme right, but also a mountain-like responsibility.
Li Hunyuan can't afford this responsibility.
With his temperament, the position of King Tang will only harm him.
Perhaps, letting him spend his life in peace and tranquility is also what his mother wants to see.
"Hua Shanyue, escort the third prince Li Huiyuan back to the mansion and think about it, without my order, he is not allowed to step out of the gate for half a step!"
At the sound of an order, Hua Shanyue, who was standing behind her, immediately stepped forward, without mercy, as if grabbing a little chicken, and grabbed Li Huiyuan in his hand.
He walked out.
Li Hui's face was flustered and angry, and he shouted, "You stupid thing, let me go, I am the third prince of the Tang Kingdom, the future Tang King, you are presumptuous!"
However, Hua Shanyue didn't hear it, his two arms locked him tightly like steel, and he continued to walk out half-dragging and half-lifting.
On the side, Li Peiyan frowned slightly when he saw this scene, and his heart was inexplicably a little uneasy.
I haven't seen my niece for a few days, and it seems that she has become different?
Li Huiyuan's
Leaving is almost like giving up the succession to the throne, but it is not necessarily a good thing for him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak, "Yu'er, at such a critical juncture, Hunyuan is afraid that it will be inconvenient to leave."
Li Yu glanced at Li Peiyan, and a somewhat indifferent smile hung on his cheeks.
"Uncle Wang sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and allows Hunyuan to bully the young, why do you still need me to say clearly?"
Li Peiyan's expression was slightly gloomy, and he looked at Li Yu with a cold face, and his eyes seemed to be a little forced.
Li Yu didn't realize it, but said lightly: "After so many years, does Uncle Wang still think that he missed the throne because he chose a sword?"
Li Peiyan's heart tingled, what Li Yu said was a taboo in his heart that had been difficult to touch for decades.
His expression became more and more gloomy, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
After Li Yu finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Li Peiyan, but walked to the side of the sixth prince Amber, and helped him up very carefully and gently.
Then he took out a soft embroidered handkerchief and wiped the tears and snot from Amber's face.
Amber also looked at Li Yu blankly, not understanding why this sister Wang, who was very distant in the past, was suddenly so gentle.
Li Yu looked at him and said softly, "The boy of my Li family can bleed and sweat, but he shouldn't shed tears."
When the words fell, she didn't say anything more, a young prince is just a young prince, it is not worth her to regard him as her enemy, not to mention that although they have different mothers, they have the same father, and their unsuccessful younger brother bullied each other, a word of comfort and encouragement is also deserved.
At this time, the closed door of the hall slowly opened, and the queen Xia looked haggard and walked out with bloodshot eyes.
Looking at the figure without Li Huiyuan outside, a trace of surprise couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
She didn't think much about it, and said in a somewhat dull tone, "Your Majesty is awake, I have something to say to you, come in."
Amber was the first to rush over and threw herself into her mother's arms, feeling the familiar embrace, and he couldn't help but want to cry.
….
It's just that he suddenly remembered what Li Yu said in his mind.
The men of the Li family can bleed and sweat, but they should not shed tears.
So, he resisted the urge to cry, tightened his little face, and grabbed his mother's shirt a little hard.
Summer touched Amber's head and whispered, "Would you like to go with your mother to meet your father?"
Amber nodded vigorously.
Summer's expression softened slightly, pulling Amber and walking towards the hall, Li Peiyan was silent for a moment, glanced at Li Yu, and saw that she didn't move, so he followed Xia into the hall.
Li Yu's expression was a little complicated, some were sad, some were sad, and some were a little unspeakably relieved and panicked.
It is a foregone conclusion that medicine is difficult to treat.
Now that I suddenly woke up, I am afraid that it has reached the point of returning to the light.
Perhaps, this is the last face of their father and daughter in this life.
For her father, she has hatred, respect, fear, and love.
Many things from the past passed through her mind like a passing eye.
Countless emotional ups and downs eventually turned into calm and firmness.
She walked forward slowly, her breath quietly blooming like a flower.
Her robe swayed in the breeze, and there seemed to be a bright, nameless fire around her.
When she stepped into the threshold of that hall, she stepped into the fate that countless cultivators had dreamed of.
She once represented the Tang Kingdom to attend the Yu Lan Festival of the Langke Temple, and she had the cultivation of Dongxuan, and now, at this occasion, she has stepped into the fate.
Many things, at this moment, have changed dramatically.
In the main hall, Summer's expression was stagnant, and he looked at Li Yu who stepped into the hall with some incredulity.
Knowing your fate?
How is this possible?
Li Zhongyi, who had a ruddy face and looked the same, also looked at himself deeply
This daughter.
Before he became the king of Tang, he was a disciple of the academy and a general of the Tang Kingdom, and his cultivation was not weak, but he was poisoned that year, although he saved his life with the help of summer, his cultivation was not much.
But even so, he could feel the astonishing aura of breaking into his fate.
Many of the arrangements that had been in my mind were overturned at once.
He sat upright and said with a solemn face, "Yu'er, let me ask you, are you willing to sit on the throne of the Tang Kingdom?"
He doesn't have much time, so he naturally has to fight quickly, not to mention, to be more straightforward, he can see whether his daughter has the determination to sit on the throne.
It is good to know the fate and cultivate, but the woman is the emperor, although there is a precedent in the Great River Kingdom, but the Tang Kingdom is the first time to open the world.
The troubles faced are by no means comparable.
If you don't have enough determination and perseverance, not only will you not be able to sit on this throne, but you will also lead the Tang Kingdom to a road of no return.
Of course, the reason why he came up with this idea is not unrelated to the current Ming Sect Master Xu Chuan.
He knew very well that the reason why his daughter was able to cultivate was because of this person.
Now that Haotian is in the world, there will be great changes.
The master is too busy to take care of himself, if there is a strong man who surpasses the Buddha to take care of one or two, it will be beneficial and harmless for the Tang Kingdom.
Just hearing Li Zhongyi's words, Li Peiyan's face was full of shock, and his heart was even more angry.
….
How can a mere woman sit on the throne?
Before you die, are you crazy?
Summer was also a little shocked, but she also understood Li Zhongyi's choice.
Li Hui is not a weapon, her son is still young, Li Yu has acted quite well, and now he is even more fateful.
In addition to the identity of a woman, in the royal family, I am afraid that there is no one more suitable to inherit the throne than Li Yu.
At this moment, although Li Yu's face was calm, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his eyes.
Not because of the throne, but because of Li Zhongyi's recognition.
A father's recognition of his daughter.
In a faint joy, she straightened her chest, looked up at her father and said word by word, "My daughter is willing!"
The words were full of firmness and confidence.
Li Zhongyi smiled with relief: "Okay, since that's the case, you are the next king of the Tang Kingdom!"
Li Peiyan's expression changed greatly, and his eyes were full of anger and madness.
Many of the drafts and words were stillborn before he could open his mouth, and he was naturally unconvinced.
The most important thing is that the throne has long been regarded as something in his pocket, how can he accept Li Yu, who was killed inexplicably?
But at this moment, he can only endure it for the time being.
He looked at the father and daughter with a gloomy expression, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
It seems that after all, we have to go to the last step.
He made a gesture covertly, and soon, a eunuch outside the temple gate quietly left, and he didn't know where to go.
