Chapter 684: The Struggle for the Imperial Throne

"Who is it?"

The Seventh Prince roared angrily and interrupted his person who had stepped onto the throne, and this person would definitely be punished with the severest punishment. The Seventh Prince turned and looked at the man who had spoken.

This look made the Seventh Prince stunned, because he was very familiar with this person. That is, the man who once teased him, and is now the man of the Saint Luo Legion of the Xihua Empire.

"Zhou Huan, I didn't expect you to be here. The Seventh Prince smiled on his face, and then said arrogantly: "It's great that you are here, I must kill you today." I am the emperor of this world, and no one can stop me. You're going to pay for what you've done before. ”

Zhou Huan smiled, and then asked, "Are you an emperor now, you are not even an emperor, how can you make me pay." ”

The Seventh Prince didn't notice that the black-clothed man beside him was already trembling, and the black-clothed man with the top-level strength of the Holy Magician led by him first trembled, and then calmed down.

"Hmph, don't think that I will be afraid of you if you are the commander of the Saint Luo Legion, you have no ability to rebel against a country, the heir to this throne is me, and the person who will become the emperor in the future is also me. The Seventh Prince said loudly.

"You seem to have forgotten someone, my dear brother. The Eighth Prince walked in in at this time, dressed in military uniform, with the Son of Heaven Sword hanging from his waist, and his voice was unusually calm.

"Old eight?" The Seventh Prince's eyes narrowed slightly, and then asked, "Do you think that your master will be able to put you on the throne." ”

"Theoretically, my master could have put me on the throne, but that would seem too unjustifiable, and I don't want to bother my master. The Eighth Prince said with a smile.

"I have a lot of masters here, and the Praetorian Guards from outside will come in soon. What qualifications do you have to fight me for the throne, believe it or not, I will kill you immediately. The Seventh Prince was as arrogant as ever, he didn't seem to know how strong Zhou Huan was.

The Eighth Prince smiled and shook his head. He has nothing to say about his seventh brother. Stupid to this point, really handing over the empire to him will only lead to the decline of the empire.

"The Praetorian Guard outside has been blocked, don't think that you are the only one in the army, I have been in the army for so many years, and I have made many more friends than you. ”

"So, do you want to be the emperor?" the Seventh Prince smiled disdainfully: "Old Seven, you are the youngest of us, and you are also the least of the noble ministers in the court. Do you think you can sit on the throne, you are not justified at all, so possible to be called the emperor, even if I die here, my people will definitely not be convinced. ”

"Who said he didn't have the right name!" a majestic voice came out, and everyone's eyes looked over. And only the Seven Princes. His neck was cast of iron, and there was no turning back.

Because the voice is all too familiar. And I grew up listening to this voice. But others saw it. Every minister and nobleman who saw it knelt down at the same time.

"Join Your Majesty!" The uniform voice came out of the mouths of these ministers, and the Eighth Prince also knelt down on one knee, and the only people who did not kneel down were Zhou Huan and those men in black.

That's right, the person standing there is none other than the emperor of the Xihua Empire, His Majesty Yang Hao. At this point, his face was slightly pale. There is a feeling of being sick for a long time, and I am also physically weak.

At this time, Duke Violet was supporting him on the side, although weak, but standing there still releasing the majesty that had accumulated over the years. After a glance. In the end, his gaze stayed on the Seven Princes.

"Old Seven, why don't you turn your head and take a look?" Yang Hao's weak voice sounded, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince only felt that he was like a man's back, and those eyes were almost about to pierce himself. But he had to face his father after all, so he still turned around.

The moment he saw his father, he felt that he had lived under his father's pressure for many years, and the secret fear began to rise in his heart again, and as soon as his knees weakened, he already knelt on the ground.

Yang Hao's eyes showed a trace of regret, but he still stared at the Seventh Prince tightly, and then said: "Old Seven, who said that the Old Eight is not right, today I will officially announce here that Yang Xu, the Eighth Prince, will become the next emperor of my Xihua Empire." ”

Yang Hao's words were loud, everyone listened to them in their ears, and suddenly fell into a crowd. And no one dares to oppose this piece of people, and everyone has already determined that the eighth prince is the final heir to the throne.

Yang Hao gasped slightly, and then was helped down by Duke Violet to the dragon chair. At this time, Yang Hao's eyes were in decline, his hand stroked the dragon chair, and said softly.

"This throne is so attractive, he can make his own brothers kill each other, and let countless people fight for it. Eighth child, I will hand over the throne to you today, and whatever you do in the future, you must be worthy of this throne. ”

"Yes, Father. There was no joy or sorrow on the face of the eighth prince, looking at this throne, there were a lot of feelings in his heart.

The honor of the founding emperor will be his own, and the father has kept this honor to himself. At the same time, there is also the great catastrophe of the future. If you can't stop it, then I'm afraid the end will not even be as good as your brothers.

But he is not afraid, this is his empire, this is also his country, his land, and he also has the responsibility to protect the country. Since he is in this position, then he will do it well.

"I hope that your coronation ceremony will finally be held at the founding ceremony, and then you will be the first person in our Xihua Empire to unify the Holy Heaven Continent. The tasks and responsibilities in the future will be left to you. ”

Yang Hao showed a last smile, and then said: "I'm old, I'm old, I didn't expect me to have such a weak day, I'm holding on for a few days, I'll put the power in your hands these days, you study hard." ”

Yang Hao smiled, and then with the support of the Duke of Violet, he began to leave.

It's just that when he walked past the Seventh Prince and the Fourth Prince, whose heads were clinging to the floor, he stopped for a moment, but in the end he didn't look over, but said to the Eighth Prince: "You two elder brothers, it's up to you to deal with it." ”

After saying this, Yang Hao left without looking back. And the eighth prince said loudly at this time: "The fourth prince participated in the rebellion, because it is a royal family, and the crime is mitigated here." Deprived of the status of the four princes and princes, deprived of all rights and external property. However, if they keep their property, they will be punished with a three-year confinement, and they will not be allowed to step out of their house for three years. ”

The fourth prince's expression was light, and the punishment was not too severe, which can be said to be completely reasonable. At this time, the fourth prince looked at his young eighth prince and thought in his heart, maybe he is really more suitable to be an emperor than me.

And the seventh prince was more miserable, and the eighth prince said directly: "Colluding with outsiders and mutilating our royal people, I originally wanted to kill you." But you're my brother after all, so I've never gotten around you.

But the capital crime can avoid the unforgivable living sin, you will no longer be a member of the royal family in the future, and you will be deprived of your ancestral home. And from now on, you will be a civilian, and you will be punished for being grounded for twenty years, and I will think about it behind closed doors. ”

The Seventh Prince's eyes widened, he looked at the Eighth Prince in disbelief, and then said loudly: "Why, I am the Prince." Why should I be deprived of my ancestral home, I have collusion with outsiders. If I collude with outsiders, doesn't he collude with outsiders?"

Of course, the Seventh Prince was not convinced, because he still didn't understand what kind of group of people he had entrapped.

But at this time, no one went back to care about him, and all the soldiers wanted was to carry out the order. And all the ministers and nobles have also retired at this time, and in the main hall, only Zhou Huan and the Eighth Prince are left, and there is also the group of people in black.

"I said you don't have to hide it, I think you know I've seen who you are. ”

"Haha, it's unexpected. You're a man who manages a lot of things, and it looks like our plans have been shattered again this time. The black-clothed man at the top of the Holy Sorcerer's rank slowly pulled down his black cloak, revealing a face.

This is a man who looks like a woman, with a strange face and a pair of red phoenix eyes. This man has long red hair, and if it weren't for a man, he would be very beautiful.

"Fire Phoenix, I didn't expect that after you escaped, not only did you not find a place to hide, but ran to the Xihua Empire to stir up the wind and rain. Zhou Huan said in a deep voice.

That's right, the person in front of him is the seven gods of the Dark Mage Alliance that were taken out in Zhou Huan's Enriel War at that time. Among the seven gods, he was the only one who escaped.

But after he escaped, he actually went to the Xihua Empire to stir up the wind and rain, and even really almost made the entire Xihua Empire change. If it weren't for Zhou Huan's timely arrival, I'm afraid that the interior of the Xihua Empire would really be chaotic, and there might even be a split.

The Fire Phoenix did have a very good plan, but he didn't know that Zhou Huan, the lord of Enriel's territory, was linked to the battle for the throne, and the existence of the Eighth Prince also made the Fire Phoenix break the original plan.

And now that Zhou Huan is coming, the fire phoenix doesn't plan to leave. How strong Zhou Huan is, the fire phoenix knows, he knows that Zhou Huan's strength will definitely not be able to beat him anyway, and these people will definitely not be able to go.

"This time I admit defeat, but I still want to know, how did you break my antidote and make Yang Hao think about it, you must know that it is the power left by the god of the underworld, and even I can't stop the erosion of the body. ”

Zhou Huan smiled, and then said, "Ever since I saw Yang Hao, I knew that it was the power of the god of the underworld. But you don't know that we have an artifact here that can cure all kinds of poisons, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to save it. (To be continued......)
