As soon as the holy decree came out, the whole country was shocked.

The most shocking thing is the royal family members, as well as Xiang Baiqi, the fourth prince who has long been named the king of Nanhe.

You must know that Xiang Baiqi is the first of many princes to be named a prince, and the fief is still the Nanhe Plain, which is the richest of the entire Great Chu Dynasty.

You must know that when Xiang Qiling was the prince, the fief was here. Therefore, after Xiang Baiqi was named the prince, many people felt that he must be the best candidate for the crown prince.

But now, reality has given them a slap in the face, and it has also almost made the fourth prince Xiang Baiqi a fool.

The one who was made the crown prince turned out to be the Black Snake, the son of the Nine Emperors!

Among the royal family, who doesn't know that Xiang Heisnake is the least popular with Xiang Qiling?

He was able to survive mainly because he had a second uncle-in-law who was the right servant of the household department, and he would definitely become the next household secretary, and Zhao Hongju, a second aunt-in-law who was the commander of the Northern Legion.

Even his ridiculous title of Prince Zhenhai was exchanged for his mother's life!

But it is such an existence that has now become the crown prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, and will ascend the throne in five days and become the emperor of the Great Chu?

After Xiang Baiqi heard the news, he almost went crazy and beat a maid to death in front of the eunuch.

In addition to Xiang Baiqi, the king of Nanhe, Xiang Qiling's fifth brother Yuelun King, seventh brother Baizhan King, and sixteenth brother Shenqiu King also killed people to vent their anger after hearing the holy decree passed by the eunuch.

In their opinion, the position of the emperor, no one can take the turn of the black snake!

Immediately, there was a secret conversation between the kings:

"Will he inherit the throne in five days? When he ascends the throne, he will definitely carry out a great purge. ”

"That's inevitable, when the time comes, we, Uncle Wang, who never treats him, will definitely become the first target he wants to clean up. ”

"Hehe, the person who should be most worried is probably his fourth brother. Back then, his fourth brother strangled his mother with his own hands, how could he not avenge his mother's revenge?"

"Since his fourth brother will definitely rebel, we will also join in the fun. After he ascends to the throne, although he will be a good emperor who loves the people like a son, for us, his fourth brother is the best choice and is in our interests. ”

"That's right, loving the people like a son has a fart, and on this continent, strength is the most important thing. If you care too much about the lives of the ants, what can you do!"

"In that case, it's the other way around!"

......

On the day after the decree of the black snake was issued, strange legends related to it came from the fiefs of the kings.

There is a real dragon in the fiefdom of the king of Nanhe, and the king of the south river should be the chosen one!

Above the statue in the fiefdom of the Moon Wheel King, there are nine five-clawed golden dragons flying, and the respect of the Ninety-Five is none other than the Moon Wheel King!

There is a golden dragon manifestation on the edge of the fiefdom of the Hundred Battles King, and he speaks to people, declaring that the Hundred Battles King should be the king of Great Chu!

In the Shenqiu Mountain in the fiefdom of the King of Shenqiu, there are dragons dancing!

......

In addition, there are legends claiming that Qianbo Lake, the original fiefdom of the Prince Xiang Black Snake, turned into blood overnight, indicating that the Huixiang Black Snake will bring great murder to the Great Chu Dynasty!

There are evil beasts rising into the sky in the Thousand Wave Lake, and the sky is dark and dark, which is a bad omen!

Xiang Black Snake is the reincarnation of the Black Snake Demon killed by the First Emperor of Great Chu back then, if he becomes the new Emperor of Great Chu, the Black Snake Demon will swallow the fortune of Great Chu!

Xiang Black Snake was born with black skin like charcoal, indicating that he would bring darkness to the Great Chu Dynasty!

......

On the evening of the day the decree was issued, the capital was already filled with similar strange legends.

After hearing these legends, those who understood understood in their hearts that the princes were building momentum for their imminent rebellion, and using this method to discredit the black snake.

But in any case, Emperor Xiang Qiling has issued an order for everyone in the palace to prepare for the enthronement ceremony in five days, as if they are deaf to the legends outside.

After hearing these legends, Ling Hao, who was in charge of the Imperial City Inspection Division, immediately led the guards, who had far exceeded the number of guards, and began to search for rumor-mongers throughout the capital.

Everyone knows that those rumor-mongers are sent by those princes.

They were all ready to rebel, so there was no need for Ling Hao to be polite to them anymore and arrest them on the spot.

Later, when Ling Hao was torturing those people, he learned about their plan.

If it is allowed to develop, these people are still preparing to create a bloody case in the capital, and then they all say that it is an "ominous thing" caused by the establishment of the crown prince by Xiang Black Snake. ”

So Ling Hao ordered that all these people be killed on the spot without hesitation.

After patrolling the city at night and killing more than 300 people, Ling Hao directly sent a post to the eight princes who were preparing to rebel, asking them to come to the Imperial City Inspection Department to cooperate with the investigation.

And said that if the princes did not arrive, he would go to visit him in person.

As a result, of course, no one paid attention to him.

Those princes had already decided to rebel, and now they wished that Ling Hao would go to them so that he could kill him, one of the few powerful assistants of the Black Snake in the capital.

Ling Hao really believed his word, and after waiting for a few hours without seeing anyone come, he directly put on the pharmacist's robe style of the Imperial City Inspection Division's Grand Commander Uniform, and left the Imperial City Inspection Division's yamen alone.

He didn't pick a soft persimmon from several princes who were ready to rebel as others expected, but came directly to the Nanhe Palace.

At this moment, the Nanhe Royal Mansion is already heavily guarded.

These well-armored and well-equipped cultivators were all secretly cultivated by the Fourth Prince's son, Xiang Baiqi.

If you do the math, there must be nearly a thousand!

After Ling Hao appeared, although the eyes of these people were full of jealousy, the weapons in their hands were all pointed at Ling Hao.

Obviously, these nearly 1,000 people are all dead!

Seeing that his path had been blocked, Ling Hao said expressionlessly:

"Get out of the way. ”

At the gate of the Nanhe Palace, standing was an elder of the Yu family, named Yuyang Su.

Seeing that Ling Hao's expression was calm, as if he didn't take these nearly a thousand cultivators seriously at all, they were at least the third order of the Yuan Wheel Realm, although there was a drum beating in his heart, he still forcibly kept himself calm, and said coldly:

"Ling Hao, you stinky boy who doesn't know whether to live or die, do you want to commit the following crimes and forcibly break into the palace?"

"It is rumored that the king of Nanhe wants to rebel, and in order to verify and investigate the matter, the official himself came here. ”

Ling Hao's expression was calm, but there was already an obvious threat in his words: "The consequences of resisting the investigation are very serious, don't blame this official for not reminding you." “

"Moreover, who gave you the courage to let this dog dare to call a court member by his name?"

Yu Yangsu was furious by Ling Hao's flickering eyes, and there was also a heavy sense of humiliation in his heart.

He is the elder of the Yu family, and he is also the number one person in this capital, and even if he meets an official of high rank in the court, he can make the other party treat him politely.

But now, Ling Hao actually scolded him for being a dog in front of him!

"I'm not in the mood to waste time on your dog. Ling Hao stared at Yuyang Su, "Tell me, where is the King of Nanhe." ”

Yuyang was furious and yelled:

"Kill him!"

When nearly a thousand dead soldiers heard this, they immediately rushed towards Ling Hao like a tide.
