(At the same time, on the other side, some big things are happening in the royal capital of mankind)

Humans and demons have been fighting for a long time, but recently, the two sides have finally ushered in a period of more or less "peace".

The king was in poor health, and after a long battle with the demons, his illness worsened, and it was difficult to recover, and he knew that there was not much time left, so he summoned his ministers to discuss the new king.

The king has six sons, the second prince and the fourth prince died in the war with the demons, and the fifth and sixth princes are younger and too young to be embarrassed to take the throne. The only two people are the eldest prince and the third prince.

As the eldest son, the eldest prince has recently acted as the king to deal with important matters, and his political achievements are good, and he knows how to govern the country, so he is supported by the courtiers.

The third prince is brave and good at fighting, fighting against the demons outside all the year round, and has made many achievements on the battlefield, holding military power, and has a high prestige in the army, but he is too angry, brutal by nature, and has been on the front line of the battle, rarely touches political affairs, and has an estranged relationship with the ministers in the palace, so he is naturally not respected.

The king is seriously ill, which naturally gives the third prince a chance to return to the royal capital, and the new king is secretly killed.

Before the king's couch, the ministers came to see him, and all the ministers believed that the eldest prince, as the eldest son, should inherit the throne, and during this short period of acting as the court, he handled political affairs very properly, and he could see that he had the talent to govern the country, and he was the best choice for the king with the country and the people.

And a small number of generals support the three princes: the three princes can fight well, protect the country, and avoid the invasion of the demons;

The ministers retorted: Although the third prince can fight, but governing the country is different from fighting, war will only bring disaster, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment before the country can be strong, besides, although the eldest prince has not led the army to fight and defeated the demons, it does not mean that he is not good.

The generals are good at fighting, but the eloquence theory is not as good as that of the clever and eloquent ministers, and they know that they can't argue, so they don't say more.

The king also had a general idea of the king's choice.

The generals left the palace angrily, pointed directly at the third prince's mansion, and met the third prince, very dissatisfied with the king's election and the minister's practice, but they were helpless. The third prince listened to the words of several generals, and he knew the result of Wang Xuan to some extent.

After saying goodbye to the generals, he returned to the room alone, closed the door, stood in front of the mirror in a daze, took off his clothes, and the scars were shocking, all of which were left in his life-and-death battle with the demons. Thinking of his death fighting demon clan, how many times he almost lost his life, but now Wang Xuan has no one to support him, sadness and anger welled up in his heart. When he was grieving, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in his heart, but then he was annoyed again and again, and he couldn't help but scream.

A group of servants came to ask, and when they saw the prince naked and tears streaming down his face, they all knelt on the ground and asked, "Lord, what's wrong with you......?"

After a while, the third prince said coldly: "Go and find my teacher, as well as Park Shizhong, Jing Yin, Wen Yuan, and Long Quan (all generals in the army)...... They all called here, go quickly. ”

When the servants heard the command, they immediately dispersed.

After a while, the teachers and generals of the third prince came to the third prince's room one after another, and when they saw the prince's appearance, they all looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

It was the third prince's teacher who spoke first: "Third prince, what's wrong with you?"

"Teacher, you should be present about Wang Xuan, you probably know the result!"

"Yes, the minister is here. The ministers of the court and the central government have all recommended the eldest prince, and the choice of the new king should be settled. ”

"Hey~~ I started to lead the army to fight with the demons at the age of 18, and it has been five or six years now, leaving countless scars on my body, every time I win, the world and the ministers praise me for being extremely brave, why do they forget me now? The eldest brother has never been on the battlefield, but he has only hid in the royal capital to enjoy the glory and wealth, but he has everything! This is so unfair, you say, what should I do, what should I do...... Ah!" said the third prince angrily.

"Your Royal Highness, whatever you do, I will follow you!" said the teacher.

"Yes, we will follow you!" replied in unison to the generals.

"Okay, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, then go to hell with me to see and see!" the third prince pondered for a moment and said viciously.

It was already late at night, and the palace was quiet, when a voice came from outside the king's room: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the third prince asks to see you." ”

The king opened his eyes slowly, and said in a drowsy voice, "Let him in!"

The third prince pushed the door in, knelt on the ground and buckled his head: "See my father." ”

"Hongxuan, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"The child couldn't sleep and wanted to talk to his father. ”

"I'm tired, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!

The third prince stood up and walked towards the desk, a summons was placed in the center of the desk, and the third prince slowly picked it up and examined it with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Daring, what are you doing, put me down and get out!, come on, come on!" the king shouted angrily, and called out to the guards.

The third prince was unmoved, and slowly opened the summoning order, and every word and scene touched his heart. "The eldest prince Hongyan was chosen as the new king. The third prince read slowly.

"Presumptuous, do you still have my father in your eyes. The king trembled and reprimanded aloud.

"It seems that in your heart, I am still not as good as the eldest brother, I have done so much for the country, what has the eldest brother done; when I shed blood, the eldest brother spent all day drinking in the royal capital; when I was shuttling in the pile of the dead, the eldest brother was flattered by the courtiers above the court; why did he do nothing, but his name was written on it. The third prince shook the summons in his hand and roared angrily.

"Then what do you want, do you still want to rebel?" said the king, fiercely.

"Ah~ It's not early, father hurry up and rest! The third prince wiped away his tears and turned to leave. Only the king's loud reprimands and scoldings were left to echo in the palace.

At this moment, the Great Prince's Mansion, which should have been quiet, now came with the sound of fighting, a group of soldiers rushed into the Great Prince's Mansion, and the palace guards met with swords and guns, and in a moment, the sound of smashing, weapons, screams, cries for help, and the sound of rushing and killing were mixed together, and blood was splashed, which was very tragic.

Several panicked people pushed the eldest prince's room open and shouted, "The prince is in danger, there is danger!"

The eldest prince sat on the bed, without any panic, and sneered: "Brotherly love is still not worth the battle for royal power, you don't need to do it, I'll do it myself!"

Several soldiers looked at each other, threw a knife over, and in the blink of an eye, a stream of blood stained the bed red, and the Great Prince's Mansion returned to tranquility.

The next day, the king's closest father-in-law read out the summons and announced to the world: the third prince Hongxuan was appointed as the new king.

The third prince wore royal clothes and ascended to the throne. Neither the king nor the eldest prince appeared, and all the ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to say a word, but everyone guessed what had happened.

After ascending to the throne, the third prince began his next step. Although his two younger brothers could not pose a threat to him, he warned and put them under house arrest just in case; the ministers of the court were also some grass, and in order to protect themselves, they took refuge in the third prince one after another, so naturally they did not become any threat; and those who had integrity, who would rather die than give in, and who had criticism of the new king, were all eradicated or exiled; and arranged for their cronies to take charge of important positions, and personally appointed the twelve generals who coup with him, and were respected by the people as the twelve holy generals, and his teacher served as the first holy general and national teacher.

After taking power alone, the new king wants to start a war against the demons again. However, the protracted war has consumed a huge amount of national strength, and the people have complained and hoped for peace. In order to annihilate the demons in one fell swoop, the national teacher proposed to form a mechanical unit, which could increase combat capabilities, reduce casualties and deter the people.

The formation of the mechanical unit requires a large amount of labor to mine mines and smelt weapons, so the whole country began to recruit a large number of laborers, production stagnation, and the people's lives are miserable.

The role of the mechanical troops on the battlefield is huge, and the demons are losing and retreating, and it only took three years to achieve a complete victory over the demons. The victory against the demons did not stop the ambition of the new king to rule, he wanted to rule the land forever, and began to pursue a long life like the demons, killing and studying the mysteries of the demons' life, and at the same time letting any force that threaten his rule perish.

One day, the sorcerer came to him and informed the new king that the hexagram showed that a young man would threaten the king's rule in the future.

When the king asked for details, the sorcerer said, "In the future, a young man from the ghost clan will lead the people to attack the royal capital." ”

"Can you now figure out what kind of power it is?" asked the king.

"The hexagram shows that it is the ghost clan of Yehe Mountain. ”

"Oni? Hidden in the human world, in the same vein as the demons, born with great power, and now you have a fancy for my royal power? Come and gather the twelve holy generals. ”

"Ministers see the king. The twelve holy generals were also full of doubts, after the coup d'état, in addition to the war against the demons, the king still summoned twelve people for the first time.

"Your Majesty, what has happened? The national teacher asked.

"Sorcerer, tell the generals about your divination. ”

"Generals, yesterday I watched the stars at night, and found that a star in the southwest had a tendency to gather, and I followed a hexagram, and sure enough, there was a vision, and the hexagram showed that in the future, there was a ghost boy who would threaten the authority of the king. ”

The saints will hotly discuss: "The demon race has just been defeated, and now there is another ghost race?" It's just that the ghost race is hidden in the world, no different from human beings, how to find it." ”

"This star is hidden in Yehe Mountain, and it is a ghost clan. The wizard said.

"Then what is the king's plan?" asked the national teacher.

"Although the ghost clan is not as large as the demon clan, it can be regarded as a threatening force, so I want the teacher to lead the army to annihilate it. ”

"The ministers are willing to eradicate evil for the king. ”

"Okay, then appoint the teacher as the commander, and lead the cattle, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs and other generals to fight together. ”

"The ministers have received orders, and they must eradicate the troubles for the king!" said all the ministers in unison.

The next day, the holy generals set out with the army.
