Chapter 975: Traitor

Xiang Chong couldn't imagine the backlash of the Five Evil Daoists, he just stood there, the expression on his face was cloudy, and he was full of hatred.

He thought that he would definitely treat the Five Affliction Dao people as a confidant, but now, the Five Affliction Dao people actually betrayed him!

The other people present were also a little unable to react, how did the Five Evil Dao people get mixed up with Chu Xiu?

Similar to Beigong Baili, these people are actually no strangers to the Five Evil Dao people, and the other party has also been in Beiyan for decades.

I remember that when Chu Xiu first came to Beiyan, the other party also had a fierce battle because of the ownership of Zhenwutang, and the Five Disasters Dao people suffered a big loss, why are these two people hooking up together now?

Xiang Chong seemed to have thought of something, and glared angrily at the Five Evil Daoists: "In this way, the people you found are all traitors!"

The Five Martyr Daoist said lightly: "The word traitor is not accurate, they have never been loyal to you, so how can you talk about betrayal?"

Xiang Chong gritted his teeth fiercely, and suddenly said to Beigong Baili and the others: "General Beigong, it was me Meng Lang before, and all the things I did were bewitched by these five evil Dao people!"

Now you have all seen that the person I planted in you is not my henchman, but a traitor sent by him Chu Xiu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present shook their heads, even those from the Xiang Clan's royal family frowned.

Xiang Chong was already panicked, panicked, and dared to say anything.

Although Chu Xiu has now stood up and blatantly supported Xiang Li to seize the throne, he is still the prince and the prince of Northern Yan.

As a result, the prince of a country apologized to his courtiers, which was simply a bag.

Although it is said that for the existence of Beigong Baili's strength, even Xiang Long in the past had to be polite, but Xiang Long, as an emperor, would only exchange interests for Beigong Baili, instead of pleading with his courtiers.

Now Xiang Chong's panicked appearance is indeed a bit of a loss of face for the Xiang clan's royal family.

Moreover, Xiang Chong also said that the people who were planted were all traitors sent by Chu Xiu and had nothing to do with him, which was even more ridiculous.

Clear-eyed people can see it, even if this matter is bewitched by the Five Evil Dao people, even if the traitors are all Chu Xiu's people, but you Xiang Chong didn't find out, and you still regarded them all as henchmen, what is this? This is an unknown person.

And at that time, you didn't know that they were traitors, but as soon as you were bewitched by others, you directly agreed to install people, isn't this still the same desire to seize power?

Is it true that if these people are really your confidants, it is natural for you to install them to seize power?

It's good that Xiang Chong didn't say this, but after saying it, it made Beigong Baili and others even less impressed with him.

Chu Xiu said to Xiang Li: "Your Highness, it's your turn, let's talk about it." ”

Xiang Li nodded, took a deep breath, and walked out directly: "Uncle Huang, I always thought this position was mine, and now my father gave him to Xiang Chong, I am not convinced, and I am unwilling!"

Now you have also seen what kind of person he Xiang Chong is.

Father is wise and powerful, but he is not a god after all, and he sometimes does something wrong!"

Xiang Chong snorted coldly: "You mean, it's right for you to be the throne?"

Xiang Long, you colluded with Chu Xiu to help you seize the throne, I don't know how many interests of Beiyan were betrayed, do you think I'm an idiot?"

Xiang Li shook his head and said, "Uncle Huang, I have never betrayed the interests of Beiyan, I am just cooperating with Lord Chu.

As I said, what my father did was not necessarily right, especially in the end, he was still using the method of checking and balancing multiple forces a few decades ago, and now it is useless.

Lord Chu's strength and the forces behind him all know that instead of forcing Lord Chu to rebel, why can't they cooperate with him?

The rivers and mountains belong to my Xiang family, and the rivers and lakes belong to Lord Chu.

When the time comes, the two sides will join forces, and Lord Chu will lead the rivers and lakes of Beiyan, even if Dongqi comes again, our Beiyan will have the strength to fight!"

"You're not afraid that he won't keep his promise?"

Xiang Li nodded and said, "Of course I'm afraid, but what is there in this world that can be 100% done?"

In the past, when my father decided to join forces with Beiyan Wulin, wasn't there a bunch of people who opposed it? I haven't tried it, how do you know if it can't work?

Uncle Huang, old ancestor, you are the mainstay of the Xiang royal family, if I do something wrong, you are in charge of the Nine Dragons Seal, and you can also abolish me at any time, is this so, are you still not at ease?"

Xiang Li's words were quite sincere, and he even said such a thing as abolishing the emperor.

The Northern Yan Emperor can be deposed, and it is very simple.

The Nine Dragons Seal is one of the hole cards of the Northern Yan, and the emperor and the Nine Dragons Seal are combined, which can give the Nine Dragons Seal the power of the dragon vein, making the Nine Dragons Seal powerful.

But as an emperor, even if he had some martial arts foundation before ascending the throne, he was abandoned after he ascended the throne, and he had no ability to control the Nine Dragon Seals at all, so the Nine Dragon Seals have always been controlled by the strong people in the Xiang royal family.

Once it is found that the emperor of this generation is mediocre and there is a risk of bringing the dynasty to weakness, the Xiang royal family can vote on whether to depose the emperor.

As a result, the Nine Dragon Seals will be temporarily invalidated, and the Nine Dragon Seals will not be able to be used until the new emperor ascends the throne, and the new emperor must also be a descendant of the Xiang family.

This rule was set by the founding ancestors of Beiyan in the past, and it was so from the day the Nine Dragon Seals were built, in order to prevent future generations from being mediocre and bringing Beiyan into decline.

This matter has always been a thorn in the hearts of the emperors of Beiyan in the past dynasties, and they usually don't even dare to mention it.

Of course, the Xiang royal family did not dare to use this kind of power indiscriminately, everyone is a royal family, and one is lost, and one is prosperous.

It is not worth deposing the emperor for no reason, causing the Nine Dragons Seal to temporarily become invalid and putting yourself in crisis.

Xiang Li has reached a dead end now, he will die if he can't become the emperor, so he has sold the rivers and lakes of Beiyan to Chu Xiu, and at this time, it is not impossible to hand over his life and death future to the Xiang royal family.

Chu Xiu looked at Xiang Chong and said: "Lord Wang, in the royal worship hall, Xiang Chongke dares to put people in it and fight for power and profit, you can imagine what he is thinking."

This is a typical in-house insider, and an outsider.

As an emperor, you should not only look at this acre and three points of land, but also look at the whole world!

Is it really worth choosing such a person to become the heir of Beiyan?

The edict is in your hands, and in a word, the throne of Beiyan can change hands!"

At this time, everyone was looking at Xiang Chong, Chu Xiu was right, the key to the ownership of the Beiyan throne at the moment was actually here in Xiang Chong.

The methods that Chu Xiu secretly engaged in had completely offended Xiang Chong against the military and the Northern Yan Xungui, and Xiang Chong's performance was also a big disappointment to everyone.

As an emperor, you can be mediocre, even if it is mediocre to the level of Lu Haochang of Eastern Qi, it is nothing.

In a dynasty, most of the people are not mediocre, and in all aspects, as long as you dare to delegate power, anything can be solved.

But Xiang Chong's problem is that although he is not too mediocre, he has too many thoughts, and his flaws are extremely obvious.

At present, the only one who has the strength to fight against Chu Xiu is the Imperial Worship Hall, which is the most elite force of the Northern Yan Imperial Family.

Moreover, in addition to the Imperial Worship Hall, a series of masters in the Northern Yan Da Nei are now under the control of Xiang Chong, and even the Nine Dragon Seals are in his hands.

Before Xiang Long died, the only right thing to do was to hand over all the power in his hands to Xiang Chong.

Although Xiang Chong had always hated him as an imperial brother before, among all the Northern Yan royal families, only Xiang Chong was the one he could trust.

Being watched by everyone's eyes, Xiang Chong suddenly felt great pressure.

Xiang Chong on the side looked at him nervously, and Chu Xiu was also looking at him.

In fact, no matter how Xiang Chong chooses, he will not suffer.

With the Northern Yan Imperial Family Worship Hall in his hands, and the powers that Xiang Long gave him, it can even be said that he is the most powerful person in the Northern Yan Imperial Family.

The ancestor of the Xiang family is only a senior and can be a mascot, and when it comes to power, he can't compare with Xiang Chong at all.

So whoever inherits the throne, he can sit back and relax.

And in his heart, Xiang Chong was indeed a little dissatisfied with Xiang Chong, and the things that the other party did also touched his bottom line.

But when he thought of Xiang Long's appearance before he died, as well as his entrustment, Xiang Chong couldn't say this.

After a long time, Xiang Chong sighed and said, "Xiang Li, Chu Xiu, stop it, the battle for the throne has shed enough blood."

The royal brother's generation is miserable enough, and I don't want to see the next generation continue to do so.

Xiang Li, I know what you're worried about, worried that Xiang Chong will be unfavorable to you after he ascends the throne.

You can rest assured of this, I can guarantee that Xiang Chong will never touch a single hair.

And Chu Xiu, I know what Zhenwutang has done for Beiyan, the imperial brother is too suspicious, and he can't let go of his powerful methods until he dies, so he tried his best to suppress you Zhenwutang.

As long as you, Chu Xiu, can guarantee that Zhenwutang will not betray Beiyan, then the means of suppressing Zhenwutang set by the imperial brother before will be null and void, even if Xiang Chong ascends the throne, I will guarantee the interests of Zhenwutang!"

Hearing Xiang Chong say this, Chu Xiu shook his head.

Before ascending the throne hall, Chu Xiu had already made countless deductions, what position each person was, how they would choose, how they should deal with it, and so on.

It can be said that so far, everything has been similar to what Chu Xiu expected, and the only thing he missed was Xiang Chong's choice.

Because in Chu Xiu's view, Xiang Chongzhi is affectionate and sexual, and Xiang Long himself is two kinds of people, and he may not approve of Xiang Long's plan.

Moreover, Xiang Chong did place people in the royal worship hall, and even Xiang Chong personally came to reprimand him, Xiang Chong didn't take it seriously, and he offended the other party miserably.

But Chu Xiu never thought that this reverence was really too affectionate, even to this point, he still chose to maintain the heir designated by Xiang Long before.
