Inside the main hall of the Northern Yan Palace.

Northern Yan is still dark, so most of the palaces are extremely gloomy and depressing.

But today, the atmosphere in the entire Beiyan Palace is even more depressing, because Xiang Long is about to be unable to hold on.

Dozens of core figures of the Beiyan Xiang clan gathered in the palace, Xiang Long was lying on the bed, his breath had been depressed to the extreme, and several imperial doctors were in a hurry, tired and sweating profusely but did not dare to stop, for fear that one would not be able to get it and be dragged to the funeral.

Counting the people of the Northern Yan royal family present, except for a younger brother who hated Xiang Long, the others did not have any sad looks, or even very indifferent.

The emperor and the royal family are two different concepts.

In Beiyan, only Xiang Long's lineage can take over the throne, even if the people in his lineage are waste, then a waste must take over the throne, because they are the lineage.

As for the other Northern Yan royal families, they may have also been descendants of the royal family, but since their ancestors were divided, they are only members of the Xiang family's royal family.

For them, the so-called dynasty is more like a family.

They worked hard and contributed to the Xiang family's dynasty, while the emperor needed to use the power of the entire dynasty to support them in order to maintain his status, and the relationship between the two sides was such a simple one.

So seeing Xiang Long die, they have no sorrow or joy, anyway, the emperor who will ascend the throne next, as long as he can bring them enough benefits as usual, it will be enough.

But they are not sad, but it does not mean that Xiang Chong is not sad.

Xiang Chong has never been a cold-blooded person, so when he saw Xiang Long fighting for the throne with his eldest brother, he was very sad and hated Xiang Long, but seeing that Xiang Long was dying now, although he still hated Xiang Long, he was still sad.

After working for a long time, several imperial doctors glanced at each other, and had to say to Xiang Chong: "Lord Wang, the ministers are already strong, Your Majesty has run out of oil, and the spirit has begun to dissipate, and it is no longer a medicine stone that can be treated, even if there is a nine-turn divine pill, it is useless." ”

"Can you let the imperial brother speak again?" said Xiang Chongqiang, holding back the grief in his heart.

One of the imperial doctors nodded and said, "That's okay, but forcibly stimulating Your Majesty's spirit will make Your Majesty's spirit dissipate faster." ”

Xiang Chong hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Go ahead, let the imperial brother leave a few words at the end." ”

The imperial doctor nodded, took out a silver needle and stabbed several big points on Xiang Long's body, Xiang Long, who originally seemed to be a dead man, coughed twice, his godless gaze turned to Xiang Chong, the corners of his mouth pulled an arc, and said weakly: "You finally call me the imperial brother again." ”

Hearing Xiang Long's first sentence actually say this, Xiang Chong's eyes immediately turned red.

"Brother Huang, what else do you want to say?" Xiang Chong asked, grabbing Xiang Long's hand.

Xiang Long shook his head weakly and said: "It's all arranged, there's nothing more to say, I've done my best, and when Chong'er ascends the throne, it's up to him." ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Long suddenly clenched Xiang Chong's hand, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and spit out the last sentence: "I am unwilling!

As the words fell, the vitality on Xiang Long's body completely dissipated, and Xiang Chong finally couldn't help it, and tears flowed.

"Brother Huang!"

Xiang Long's life, right and wrong, has long been incomprehensible.

As a human brother, he killed his brother to seize the throne, and killed his own brother who was a fellow brother of his mother without mercy, which can be called extremely cold-blooded.

As a father, because of his busy state affairs, even Xiang Chong, who is the most favored by him, has not received much teaching from him, which also leads to his sons not being compatible in face, heart, and brotherhood.

But as the emperor of Northern Yan, he is qualified, even excellent.

Northern Yan was originally just one of the many small countries in the world, if there was no other Xiang Long, even if there was a waste emperor in Eastern Qi, with the volume of Eastern Qi, he would be able to sweep Liuhe, directly destroy many small countries in the world, and unify the country.

But it was because of the presence of Northern Yan and Xiang Long that he united with Northern Yan Wulin, Western Chu, and any forces that could be united, and finally blocked the expansion of Eastern Qi, making it a three-legged stand today.

He is unwilling, because today's emperors are full of mediocre people, as long as he is given time, Dongqi failed to sweep Liuhe, he can! Dongqi failed to dominate the world, he can!

He didn't regret it, because even if he Xiang Long was spurned by tens of millions of people, even if he was hostile to his own brother for a lifetime, he would still choose to do so if he was asked to do this again.

The merits and demerits are left for future generations to comment, anyway, he Xiang Long, he has no regrets in this life!

In the sixty-second year of Zhaowu in Northern Yan, Xiang Long died.

Before Xiang Long's death, Beiyan experienced a period of calm, but with his death, the entire Beiyan was already surging.

Xiang Long did not summon any prince before he died, his edict had already been written, if nothing else, Xiang Chong would ascend the throne next, but how could things be so smooth?

In the womb, Xiang Chong was sad, but more ecstasy, this day has finally arrived!

Xiang Li was in the mansion, and after hearing the news, he directly locked himself in a dark room and didn't see anyone.

The last moment has finally arrived, it is done, he will reach the top, defeated, he should commit suicide as soon as possible, Xiang Chong will even let him die ugly.

In the Zhenwu Hall, Chu Xiu's face was expressionless, because on this day, he had been planning for a long time, success or failure, in one fell swoop!

After Xiang Long's death, the funeral was of course to be held first.

After the funeral, it was Xiang Chong's enthronement ceremony.

In the palace, the Northern Yan royal family, the military, and some noble generals have all arrived.

Chu Xiu, as the governor of Zhenwutang, naturally stood at the top.

Even in addition to these people who belong to Beiyan, Xiyunzi and Shou Zhenzi of the Pure Yang Dao Sect, as well as False Words, also came.

However, both of them have some injuries and have not yet been able to make a profit, and this time they are only here purely to watch the ceremony, and they are still hostile to each other.

The dragon chair was empty, and on the high platform, an old man with white hair walked out slowly with Xiang Long's edict under the support of others.

He is the oldest generation of the Xiang royal family, although his strength is not very good, and even now it is about to reach the point where Shouyuan is approaching, but this kind of occasion still depends on him to preside.

Xiang Chong knelt on the ground, as the thirteenth prince, he was kneeling at the front of everyone at this time, and the other princes looked at Xiang Chong with complicated eyes.

Although this thirteen princes were special and the most favored by Xiang Long before, no one thought that he would be the one who could ascend to this throne in the end.

Of course, they have no other thoughts than jealousy.

Among all Xiang Long's heirs, Xiang Li's advantage was the greatest before, even if Xiang Li couldn't do this position, it wouldn't be their turn anyway, so these princes present were just jealous, but they didn't hate.

At this time, although Xiang Chong also lowered his head, there was only one thing in his eyes, that is, the golden dragon chair at the front, which was about to belong to him!

Although the dragon chair is not good-looking or gorgeous, because of the perennial use, some dragon patterns on the dragon chair have even been smoothed out.

But that position represents power, the imperial power that controls the entire Northern Yan!

Before, these were just dreams, but now they appeared in front of him like this, how could Xiang Chong not be nervous? He was already trembling slightly with nervousness.

The ancestor of the Xiang clan stood at the front, and said in an old but powerful voice: "Xiang Chong, Your Majesty has died, before he leaves, he will make you the crown prince, I hope you don't disappoint him."

Among the three kingdoms in the world, the time and place are favorable, and I do not occupy the same Beiyan, but under the leadership of His Majesty, I have guarded this country.

Now that Your Majesty is gone, the next burden will be on you, do you have confidence?"

Xiang Chong hurriedly bowed down and said: "Of course I am confident, my father's will be in front of me, and this palace will definitely inherit my father's will, lead Beiyan, sweep Liuhe, and unify the Central Plains!"

The ancestor of the Xiang clan nodded, and just wanted to read out Xiang Long's edict and let Xiang Chong officially ascend the throne.

But at this time, a voice sounded out inopportunely: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has confidence, but I have no confidence."

I'm afraid that within a few years of your ascension to the throne, Your Royal Highness the Prince, this Beiyan will be destroyed by you!"

Everyone present looked up sharply and looked in the direction of the sound.

Chu Xiu just stood up like this, without the slightest scruples, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Both Mamoko and False Words raised their heads at the same time and glanced at each other.

Chu Xiu is crazy, is he openly opposed to Xiang Chong's accession to the throne and meddling in the affairs of the Northern Yan Imperial Family, which is the enemy of the entire Northern Yan Imperial Dynasty!

Xiang Chong shouted angrily: "Chu Xiu! What do you want to do? This is the enthronement ceremony of the imperial court, not a place where you can make a big fuss! Do you want to rebel?"

Chu Xiu said coldly: "Rebellion, Lord Wang, your Xiang clan is the royal family of Beiyan, and it is true that you are the controller of Beiyan, but don't forget, we also live in Beiyan, and we are also part of Beiyan!"

I'm not a rebellion, when Your Majesty is here, even if I have some philosophical disagreements with Your Majesty, have you ever seen me say half a 'no'?

His Majesty is a generation of male lords, and Beiyan is in his hands, and we are all relieved.

But this Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a qualified emperor, and it is definitely a disaster for him to control Beiyan.

I have no intention of rebelling, and I can't rebel, but I want to ask you to think clearly, is such a person really suitable for succession?

Before His Majesty died, his eyes were dizzy and he couldn't see people's hearts clearly, so he chose such a person.

A qualified emperor can lead Northern Yan from a small northern barbarian country to the point where it is now resisting Eastern Qi.

But what about an unqualified emperor? That's a disaster!

Don't forget the incident of the Jiang clan in the Eastern Qi Dynasty in the past.

The emperor's surname is okay, but it doesn't have to be him!"
