The Sifang Pavilion in Jingcheng is located in the northwest corner of the city, covering a wide area, with dozens of yards inside. Some are the residences of envoys of Southern Chu and major vassal states, and some are used to receive distinguished guests.

The Southern Chu Dynasty had nine vassal states, and Jing State was one of them. Each vassal state sent envoys to stay in order to quickly communicate information and to quickly inform the entire Southern Chu if there is any major news.

The Southern Chu Dynasty sent envoys separately, but these envoys did not have much authority. Of course, the envoys sent by the Southern Chu represent the Southern Chu, and no major vassal states dared to offend easily.

At this moment, the Nanchu Pavilion was filled with people. Except for the envoys of Cai State that did not come, the envoys of the other major vassal states gathered in the Nanchu Pavilion.

They gathered here not because they were afraid of something and sought protection from the envoys of the Southern Chu. Instead, they all knew that there was a major change in Jingguo today, and they gathered together to discuss and wait for news.

The envoys appear to represent the envoys of major forces, but in fact they also have another identity. They are all secret spies from Southern Chu and major vassal states, responsible for collecting various important information and intelligence.

This is actually a semi-public secret. Even the officials and spies bought by the major ambassadors are in control of the Heilongtai. However, some ordinary intelligence rumors are nothing. Heilongtai just turned a blind eye.

The ambassadors had known about Li Yunyu's return. The ambassadors also knew what the dynasty will do today. They gathered here because Tuoba Wu and Li Yunxiang suddenly returned. There was obvious changes in this dynasty. They were waiting for the final news here.

The envoy of Southern Chu, Li Qingfu, was fifty years old. He looked mediocre and smiled all day long, and looked nothing surprising. No one dared to underestimate him who could become the envoy of Southern Chu in Jing State. He sat in the first place, drinking tea leisurely, and the envoys of the other seven countries sat on both sides, with different expressions, but they were not particularly nervous.

Jing State is located in the southwest of Southern Chu. There are two vassal states, Cai and Teng State, in the south. Cai and Jing State went to war, and the envoys had already returned. Teng State is on the east side of Cai State, and the seven vassal states and Jing State have no borders, so it is not very important for them who will be the new king of Jing State, and they are just routine attention.

"Mr. Li!"

Shen Heng, the envoy of Teng Kingdom, spoke: "It's better for us to place a bet if we sit here and sit here? The gambling money doesn't have to be too big. Just take ten thousand taels of silver as the basis. The lost silver will be divided equally by the winner, how about?"

Shen Heng's proposal aroused the interest of a group of envoys. Anyway, sitting here was boring. Ten thousand taels of silver were not much or too little for them, just for fun.

"Okay, I'll play with you!" The envoy of Zhuge Hong, the first-class vassal state, spoke: "I bet Li Yunyu takes office!"

"I'm also having fun!" Another envoy from the first-class vassal state, Lu, echoed: "I'm also betting that Li Yunyu is on the throne."

"I don't think so, I bet on Li Yunxiang!"

"I bet on Li Yunyu!"

Envoys spoke one after another, most of them bet on Li Yunyu. In the last seven vassal states, four bet on Li Yunyu and three bet on Li Yunxiang. After a group of envoys finished speaking, Shen Heng looked at Li Qingfu and asked, "Mr. Li, do you want to place bets and play?"

"Haha!" Li Qingfu stroked his long beard and said, "You only bet on these two people, so no one will suppress Li Yunyi?"

"Li Yunyi?"

A group of envoys were stunned, and then many shook their heads. Zhuge Hong, the envoy of the Jingguo Kingdom, said: "Mr. Li, it's not that I look down on Li Yunyi. After this Prince Yi returned from the Nanman Mountains, it was indeed very strange. The Blood Wolf Cavalry under his command was the nemesis of the cavalry and a great master supported it. But... after all, his legs were disabled and his dantian was shattered. Even if he made unparalleled achievements, he would not be able to get to power."

The other envoys nodded one after another, and it would be fine if they lost all their strength, the most important thing is to be disabled. Which country chooses a disabled person to be the king? If the king has been in power for several years and has been disabled after taking power, it is understandable. Li Yunyi only has more than a thousand troops in the city, can he be the opponent of Li Yunyu and Li Yunxiang?

“Not necessarily.”

Li Qingfu pondered for a moment and said, "Our Prince Yi has created a miracle. Maybe he can create another miracle? I bet that Li Yunyi will take office."

"Okay!" Chen Heng stood up and said, "If Li Yunyi takes office, we will all lose, and all the 70,000 taels of silver will belong to Lord Li."

Everyone made a bet and their expressions became a little excited and anticipated. They all had their own eyes. Although the palace had martial law, once the dynasty had a result, they would definitely receive the news as soon as possible.

More than an hour passed quickly. Under normal circumstances, the Grand Court meeting was over, but now there is no news to be paid back.

Everyone was not impatient. Tuoba Wu and Li Yunxiang were back. This time the dynasty meeting would definitely be a big fuss. It is understandable that the dynasty meeting will be extended.

The troops inside and outside the city did not move, which shows that this time the dynasty will be a game between all parties, and it will ultimately depend on who will get more supporters. If we want to seize the throne by force, a bloody battle would have happened long ago.

Half an hour passed again, and before the result came out, a group of envoys were a little puzzled. It was almost noon and it was time to have lunch and it was not yet fruitful. Could it be that this dynasty would be held all day? A group of ministers were clamoring each other for a day? Aren’t they tired?

"Da da da da!"

Another half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside, and then a personal guard outside came in and reported: "Report to Lord Li, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple of Jingguo, Wang Po, asked for a meeting."

“Huh?”

Li Qingfu and a group of envoys were all stunned. Wang Po and the others were familiar with them and often dealt with them on behalf of Jingguo. The question is what Wang Po did at this moment? Could it be that the Jingguo Dynasty had a conclusion? The question is that they did not receive any news.

"Please!"

Li Qingfu said in a deep voice, soon a middle-aged man wearing Jingguo's official uniform walked in. He glanced at the audience, smiled on his face, bowed and said, "Hello, Lord Li, all the envoys are here, so there is no need to leave the official family. Lord Li, sir, the results of our country's dynasty meeting have been made. The new king will ascend the throne in the afternoon. The regent invites you to the palace and participate in the throne ceremony together in the afternoon to witness the new king ascendance."

"The result is coming!"

A group of envoys stood up, but their subordinates did not give any reward. The news was released by Jing Guo? It seems that the news in the palace was blocked very strongly.

As soon as he came out, he ascended the throne immediately in the afternoon. I am afraid of any trouble, so I will ascend the throne first?

Regent!

Lord Li looked at each other with a group of envoys. It seemed that Li Yunyu had taken over the throne? This result was not unexpected. After all, Li Yunyu controlled the overall situation, and it was useless to come back with tens of thousands of troops. Many generals in those troops belonged to the families of the six major countries.

"Mr. Li, all of you!"

Wang Po of the Honglu Temple bowed and said, "The Regent asked the officials to invite you to the palace. The frame is already waiting outside. The Regent said that in order to avoid the leak of news, please enter the palace immediately. You sir, don't have to bring escorts, the Imperial Guard will protect you all your safety."

Li Qingfu and the others looked at each other and felt confident. They wanted to block the news and ascend the throne first to avoid unrest in the army outside.

After ascending the throne, they will subdue the outside army. Although the imperial guards outside are escorts, they are actually escorts. They are not disgusted. They can ask them to witness the new king ascend the throne, which is considered to give them face.

Several envoys followed Wang Po out, got on the carriage, and ran to the palace under the escort of the Imperial Guard. After entering the palace, they were pulled into a side hall, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids came in and brought them fine wine and delicacies. Wang Po accompanied them, asking them to rest assured and wait for the throne ceremony.

An hour later, they were invited into King Jing's Palace. As soon as they came in, they smelled a strong smell of sandalwood. It was normal that there was sandalwood in the palace, but it was too thick, right?

"What's wrong!"

Zhuge Hong's nose suddenly shook and whispered to Chen Heng beside him: "Why do I feel a faint smell of blood..."

The other envoys heard it and all their noses twitched. They had neither low combat power nor weak sense of smell. As they smelled it, they looked suspicious in their eyes.

They did smell a faint smell of blood. The sandalwood smell is so strong, is it covering up the smell of blood?

"What's wrong!"

Zhuge Hong glanced around suspiciously and whispered again: "There seems that there are fewer officials in Jingguo? Many familiar faces are gone, and you can see their faces very strange."

There were many ministers standing in the hall, with only a few princes not present, and several grand masters not present. Several envoys looked around and glanced at them, and all of them were extremely shocked and suspicious.

"Why are there only two of the six great dukes? What about the other four great dukes? There are also the left and right prime ministers, and the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Rites?"

An envoy said in a low voice, his tone was very shocked. Li Qingfu and the others noticed this. This is very abnormal. Four of the six great dukes were missing. If they were going to discuss matters, why were two left here? There are six ministers, why were there only three here?

The most important thing is the faces of the ministers. Many ministers looked pale and looked calm on the surface, but it could be seen that some ministers were panic and anxious inside. This seemed to be... frightened?

"Can it be... Li Yunyu started a massacre?"

Li Qingfu murmured softly, and the envoys didn't ask much, and they all stood in a square array and were waiting silently.

After waiting for half an hour, the ceremony of ascension to the throne finally began. The envoys found that it was the Minister of Rites who presided over the ceremony. Some of their inferences were verified. It seemed that the smell of blood they smelled was correct. Many people would die in this dynasty in the morning.

After a moment, something that shocked them even more—

At the beginning of the ceremony, Eunuch Fu walked out in a wheelchair. Li Yunyi was sitting in the wheelchair. He played with the Tianji pot with one hand and held Li Chen with the other, while Li Chen was actually wearing a dragon robe.

Except for Li Chen and Li Yunyi, the envoys did not see Li Yunyu and Li Yunxiang, nor did they see Zhou Xian Tuoba Wu, the left and right prime ministers, four dukes and three ministers. The people who were absent from the throne ceremony? Could it be that they were all sick, right?

When the new king ascended the throne, such an important ceremony, let alone being sick, he must go to court even if he is about to die of illness. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect to the new king.

Li Yunyu, Li Yunxiang, Tuoba Wu, Zhou Xian, the four great kings, the left and right prime ministers, the three great ministers, and the fate was self-evident.

Either they were all arrested and imprisoned, or they were all... dead!

Li Qingfu and the envoys looked at each other for a few times, and the horror in everyone's eyes was uncontrollable. Li Qingfu murmured for a long time: "This Prince Yi is really powerful, but this attack is too cruel, right? If you kill them all, it is equivalent to destroying most of the foundation of Jingguo."
