Chapter 29 The new emperor ascends the throne

…

Imperial City, East Palace.

Jiang Xuan, the 22-year-old prince who left the court, was looking at his uncle sitting opposite with a wry smile. He had been under the influence of his father since he was a child.

He admired Jiang Hao, the King of Wu, who expanded his territory abroad.

In recent days, I often invite King Wu to come over and tell him stories about battles, how fierce the grassland people are... and so on.

Laugh loudly often.

Regarding the throne of emperor, when his father, King Jiang, died, he left an oral edict, intending to pass the throne to King Wu.

Prince Jiang Xuan did not have any dissatisfaction. He knew that he was too benevolent and was not suitable for such a position.

"Uncle, my mother forced me to take the throne. I have no such idea."

"It's okay, I don't really want this position."

King Wu leaned against the palace pillar, holding broad beans in his right hand and throwing them into his mouth one by one.

"It is better to inherit what you already have than to build a huge empire alone!"

This is what he really thinks.

The Wu Kingdom is no longer what it used to be. Compared with the territory of Li Dynasty, it is no different. The people are strong, the military style is prevalent, and there is no shortage of food and other supplies.

Because of the war with the grasslands, Wu State's cattle and sheep were overrun and became extremely wealthy.

But his ideas are destined not to be understood by others.

Even doubtful.

Because this is unreasonable. As the person with the highest reputation as the successor to the throne, although he is criticized for being "unlike a human king", he still has many supporters.

Living in the imperial city, King Wu just wanted to communicate more with the queen and clarify his position, but it was a pity that the queen was focused on power.

Not even him.

If he were honest and allowed his eldest nephew to inherit the throne, King Wu would not say anything and would even fully support it. However, it was obvious that he wanted to be the regent and queen mother, and he was unhappy.

How could the Jiang family's world be taken away by a woman named Zhou?

"Jiang Xuan, you can rest assured that you will succeed to the throne, and I will leave all the troubles to you."

Jiang Xuan believed it. In his eyes, there was no problem in the world that King Wu could not solve, but he still couldn't help but say.

"Uncle, can you let mother go?"

Seeing the expectant look in his eldest nephew's eyes, King Wu had no choice but to say.

"Oh...it's up to you."

"Let's go and learn the etiquette of the grand ceremony from the ceremonial officer. I won't be able to come here during this period."

"yes!"

Jiang Xuan bowed to the end, and his admiration for his uncle became even stronger.

Within Kyoto.

Wu Xuan, who was immersed in his own world, finally grasped the pulse gate and improved his martial arts again. It was just a breakthrough in technique.

The true meaning of Dragon and Tiger is getting closer and closer to the limit, and the closer to this final threshold, the slower the cultivation speed becomes. Even a 10-point martial arts talent cannot allow him to cross this natural chasm in an instant.

He knew that transformation was not far away.

This day.

A letter was handed over from the old housekeeper's hand.

Although he was dissatisfied with Wu Xuan's style, he could still distinguish between right and wrong, and said in a low voice.

"The Shenwu Army is here."

Wu Xuan's expression became solemn, he learned literary and martial arts, went to the emperor's house, practiced martial arts, and waited for today.

Although his loyalty needs to be verified, he hopes to contribute sincerely, and earning reputation is just incidental. The bigger the occasion, the more excited he becomes.

As expected, the letter came from Li Yu.

There isn't much in the above, so I urgently called him back to camp to wait for arrangements.

"King Wu has made arrangements."

Coming to this conclusion in his mind, Wu Xuan packed up his luggage, mounted his Feiyan horse and quickly left the city.

We arrived at the military camp on the outskirts of Gyeonggi within an hour.

Compared with when he left, there were more military camps nearby, and it was so dark that there was no end in sight.

Seeing him back, Li Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

According to King Wu's arrangement, the next plan is in great need of a master-level expert. Although Wu Xuan is not old, his strength is not low, and his potential is the best in the army. There is no doubt about this.

It is worth mentioning that as various princes entered the capital, the frontier troops who had followed them, such as Zhou Xuanguang, Chen Zhibao, Bai Rushan and others, left the military camp and went to the imperial city to follow the arrangements of Queen Shenxuan.

This is also a force that cannot be ignored.

"It's good that you're back. How was your time in the city?"

Wu Xuan smiled.

"It's an eye-opener. I can only say that it is indeed Kyoto. It is much more prosperous than Qishan City. Does your Majesty have any plans?"

"You come with me."

Wu Xuan followed behind him silently. After a while, the two of them entered a rather large military tent. By this time, it was already full of people.

There were 22 people in total, 11 of whom Wu Xuan had met. He had fought with General Hirano before, and they were all top generals of the Shenwu Army and master-level experts.

Counting Li Yu and Wu Xuan, there are twenty-four people in total.

"As long as it does not affect the Shenwu Army, you are the most powerful group of forces around the king."

The implication is that there are more masters who are proficient in leading troops and cannot easily leave, but the twenty-four master-level masters are already a very terrifying force.

"The king has an order to go to the capital tomorrow and replace the escort team around His Royal Highness until the end of the enthronement."

Preparing for someone to assassinate you?

Wu Xuan was a little confused, but he didn't think this would be the case, because the princes still needed a name, and killing the prince would be of no use, but would anger the real royalists.

There's nothing wrong with dying together.

Obviously Wu Xuan was not the only one present who felt this way, and soon a vanguard general asked a question.

Li Yu glared at the other party.

"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Just follow the king's arrangements."

"This is an act of overstepping one's humble position. Don't blame Commander Li."

"Forget it, let's meet at Yingkou tomorrow at 9 o'clock."

"As you command!"

When the general who took the order retreated, Wu Xuan looked at Li Yu, his mouth moved, but he still didn't ask.

Li Yu actually saw through his mind.

He shook his head and said.

"It's not the princes who are on guard, but the other princes."

Wu Xuan was stunned.

"Is this so..."

"Chaos is a ladder. The conspirators can control the moment of opening, but they cannot decide the moment of termination."

"Once a bloody battle breaks out, no one can judge what the final outcome will be, or even completely detonate all hidden dangers."

Li Yu sighed and said the truth. These were King Wu's original words. He brought it over to teach his little brother, and his chest puffed out a little higher.

"Thank you, Brother Li, for your advice."

"No problem, the king values ​​you, and I value you too. I really hope Brother Wu can follow us to the northwest prairie, where the warriors' battlefield is!"

"There will be a chance."

"That's true."

As he said this, Li Yu suddenly burst into laughter, presumably remembering something interesting.

"You can go back and rest. Master Li is still waiting for you."

"Well……"

Speaking of this, Wu Xuan regretted a little. After passing the point of intense desire, he really couldn't arouse any interest, let alone talk about marriage.

It's impossible to take it back, so we can only live like this for now.

Although beauty is beautiful, her bones are also eroded!

The next day, everyone put on armor and entered the capital. Queen Shenxuan had been promoted to Queen Mother Shenxuan. Under her single-handed control, the auspicious day of the zodiac was selected very quickly.

Only five days later, it will be the day when the new emperor ascends the throne.
