Chapter 1099 Let's salute first and then soldiers (ask for subscription, ask for full subscription)
Shendu, Wushuang Mansion
If Shangjing of the Shenwu Dynasty was already quite prosperous, then the Shendu of Great Xia was at least two to three times that of Shangjing, and this ancient capital with thousands of years of history has been properly managed since Long Taizu conquered the Shendu.
The Shendu is backed by the Longjiang River, connecting the north and south, and the financial and material resources of the Great Xia Quartet will be concentrated in this great city.
It was not the first time that Chu Qianqiu had come to the Divine Capital, but the last time he came, the Dragon Emperor was in control of the Human Emperor Sword, the Imperial Palace Great Array, and so on.
At that time, Chu Qianqiu was able to rely on a sneak attack to kill the Dragon Emperor.
But he couldn't really kill the other party, and he was even able to rely on the Human Emperor Sword to save his life.
And now that the Dragon Emperor has died on Vortex Island, the peerless princess he supported relies on the remains of the Dragon Emperor, the edict, and the testimony of five ministers who care for their lives and more than a dozen golden armor gods and generals.
"Is the lady urgently calling for her husband because the enemy is very tricky?"
Chu Qianqiu saw the peerless lady coming in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile and said:
"That's true."
"The crown prince, the four princes, and the emperor's uncle seem to have colluded, unanimously opposing the enthronement of the palace, and disrupting the enthronement ceremony, claiming that the edict is false."
"But with the full support of Marshal Wei and others, now the court of Great Xia is divided into three pieces."
"One is the five ministers who take care of their lives, the Imperial Forest Army, the Siming Gate, the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the Jade Deer Academy, the Guiyi Gate and other forces, as well as a little force that the palace used to operate, as well as the Tianfeng Gate and so on, they support the palace to ascend the throne."
"The second piece is the crown prince, the four princes, and the emperor's uncle."
"Originally, the crown prince and the four princes had their own disputes, behind the prince was the Long Xiang army, and behind the four princes was the Xiaoguo army."
"Of course, before my father died of illness, these two field armies were loyal to my father, and the eldest brother and fourth brother only had some supporters."
"Not only that, the eldest brother has the support of the Beast Zhai behind him, the fourth brother is from Taixuanzong, and the emperor's uncle is from the Yuxiao faction."
"If you count the attitude of the family, as well as the mother family, the situation is even more complicated."
Princess Wushuang made a long story short, and tried her best to explain the current situation of the Great Xia royal family briefly.
Great Xia also has three major field armies, namely the Royal Forest Army, the Longxiang Army, and the Xiaoguo Army.
Wei Wuji was the titular generalissimo, and theoretically had the ability to command the three armies.
It's not that Wei Wuji's status surpassed that of Xu Guogong, but that Great Xia learned the lessons of the first battle in Taizhou.
An important reason for the fiasco of the Royal Forest Army was that General Long had the power to dispatch the three major field armies at that time, while Wei Wuji could only control his own Royal Forest Army, and there was a problem with the coordination of the three armies.
So he was pressed to the ground and rubbed by General Long.
After this battle, the Dragon Emperor not only did not blame Wei Wuji, but also added him the position of generalissimo, so that he could fight with the three armies.
Then in the battle of Heavenly Wolf City, it was replaced by Wei Wuji's violent beating of the Shenwu Dynasty.
This position of generalissimo has duality, only when the war breaks out, Wei Wuji has the authority to dispatch, and on weekdays, he has influence but cannot directly intervene in the other two armies.
"This Long family is indeed much more powerful."
"The three major field armies are all under the control of the royal family, and once there is any trouble, there will also be a large number of clans to make moves."
"It's no wonder that Great Xia has been able to survive the decline of the world many times and stand tall for thousands of years."
"There's a reason for that."
Chu Qianqiu listened to the Wushuang Lady's brief explanation of the situation in Great Xia, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It seems that the royal family of the Xiao family has lost all the orthodox descendants, and King Jing, the only royal branch, is still ambitious.
And for Great Xia, the last thing they lack is the dragon son and dragon grandson.
The royal family is extremely strong, there are princes, princes, princes, and uncles, none of which are fuel-efficient lamps.
For example, the crown prince and the four princes, two powerful candidates for the throne, are both masters of the manifest realm, and they are not inferior princesses.
With such a strong clan, when they faced a dynastic crisis, they would be able to stand up and prevent conspirators like Chu Qianqiu from exchanging the house capital for the royal family.
With a strong clan, the benefits and disadvantages are equal.
The disadvantage is that once the old emperor leaves, there will be a situation where Kowloon will seize the heir.
Originally, the crown prince and the fourth prince actually didn't have much hope, the Dragon Emperor was in the prime of life, and it would not be a problem for him to live for another two hundred years.
If it weren't for Chu Qianqiu sending the Dragon Emperor away in advance, then his position could be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
As a result, as soon as the Dragon Emperor died, they got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but they watched this opportunity being taken away by Chu Qianqiu, could they be convinced?
Apparently impossible.
The entire Shenwu Dynasty has now succumbed to Chu Qianqiu's military deterrence, but the crown prince, the fourth prince and others have not felt it.
As soon as the Dragon Emperor died, the entire Great Xia court was now in chaos.
"The Long family has always paid attention to the clan, as long as the main vein is strong, they are not afraid of rebellion from the dragon sons and grandsons from all over the world."
"Especially the inheritance ceremony of Great Xia, which allows the descendants who inherit the throne to quickly master the "Taizu First Dragon Jue"."
"The emperor's uncle did not follow the edict and questioned the authenticity of the edict, which made the palace very passive."
"Uncle Huang is obviously a pretext, so this palace suspects that he has united the eldest brother and the fourth brother."
The unequaled lady also said helplessly.
Although she has a testament, she has the blood given by her father, and even the martial minister.
But in order to truly fit the power of the Taizu First Dragon, it is necessary to go to the [True Dragon Pool] treasured by the royal family, so that the unequaled lady can truly complete the detachment and transform herself into the true dragon emperor.
The problem is that the true dragon pool is controlled by the emperor's uncle, he is another strong man at the peak of martial arts in the royal family, and his status is quite respectful, even if the dragon emperor is resurrected, he must be honored as Uncle Wang when he sees him.
Now he suspects that Princess Wushuang is a fake, and even murdered the Dragon Emperor of the previous generation, so he naturally refuses to let Princess Wushuang complete the ceremony.
"It's complicated enough."
"Almost all the forces in Great Xia have been involved, and many of them are still familiar old friends."
Chu Qianqiu nodded, when he was in Beijing, the situation was not so complicated, because Chu Qianqiu only needed to complete it in the fastest time.
Then the masters of the palace, the Praetorian Guards and other royal forces will not be useful.
This time was different, even though Wei Wuji and the others had quickly returned to the Divine Capital in an attempt to control the situation.
However, the news of the Dragon Emperor's death still returned to Shendu earlier than Wei Wuji and the others, and the enemy had time to react and quickly reached an alliance, which made it impossible for the matter of inheriting the throne to go smoothly.
"But with only this bit of strength, Wei Wuji and the others should still be able to hold it down."
"The key is still the rumors of Lao Junguan, right?"
"Yes, husband."
"Marshal Wei has found out an important piece of information, which came from the Four Princes' Mansion."
"It is said that this is the operation, there are descendants of Lao Junguan who are active, and the alliance between the eldest brother and the fourth brother is also promoted by them."
Princess Wushuang could have suppressed the situation, after all, the crown prince and the fourth prince were also inseparable.
As a result, they joined forces this time, and there was Lao Junguan behind them.
Lao Junguan was also a Heavenly Man at the beginning, and it was not comparable to ordinary sects.
Now that the decline is coming, not only the future temple is coming back, but even the old monarch view is also about to move.
"Then please come over."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile after listening to what the peerless lady said.
"Huh?"
"Yes, the prince and the others are invited to come over."
"Let's salute before we soldiers."
