In the center of Dajiang Imperial City, not far from Dajiang Palace, there is a high platform with a height of 100 feet. On the high platform are five pillars that tower into the sky. Each of them is surrounded by a ferocious dragon statue, exuding overwhelming evil aura.
This is called Wulong Terrace, and it is the place where the Jiang emperors of past dynasties conducted their military parades.
Today's Wulongtai is very lively. The eldest prince Jiang Jiye held a banquet here and invited civil and military officials from all over the court to the banquet.
And also invited the third prince, sixth prince and seventh prince.
The three princes were invited to the banquet.
Everyone knew that today's banquet was destined to be unusual.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Jiang Jiye calmly sat down on the general's banquet where only Emperor Jiang could sit.
The other three princes each sat on one side.
The third prince, Jiang Chengye, is in the west. He has a delicate appearance and looks very elegant. Sitting next to him is a woman in a black dress with a voluptuous figure and charming appearance. Behind him are more than a dozen masters of the Fengye Holy Sect.
Feng Yueqing, a saint of the Fengye Holy Sect and the fiancée of the third prince Jiang Chengye.
The sixth prince Jiang Daoye is located in the south, with a man and a woman sitting on the left and right. He has an outstanding temperament and a good appearance.
Behind him are many masters from Qinjian Villa.
The seventh prince Jiang Tongye was seated in the north. He was the only one sitting in front of the banquet table, drinking alone. Behind him stood more than ten dead soldiers in armor.
"Jiang Jiye, what qualifications do you have to sit on the general's table!"
Jiang Tongye drank the strong wine in the cup in one gulp, stared at Dongfang with a solemn gaze, ordered the general's banquet, and scolded.
After the words fell, the eyes of the other two princes suddenly became sharp, and they looked at Jiang Jiye with eyes full of oppression.
Jiang Jiye sat high on the general's table, smiled calmly, and said slowly: "Because I am the only legitimate son of the late emperor, born of Empress Jiang, and the royal family is orthodox."
"How can you deserve to compete with me for the throne?"
After the words fell, the faces of the three princes suddenly turned ugly.
The royal family values direct lineage the most, which is why most royal family members and palace masters support Jiang Jiye's ascension to the throne.
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Although you are born to the Queen, you are not the Crown Prince."
Among the civil and military officials, a white-haired old man sitting at the front spoke.
Although his voice was calm, there was a hint of sarcasm beneath his words.
So what if he is the legitimate son of the late emperor, as long as he is not the crown prince, then all the princes will have a chance to compete for the throne of Dajiang!
The white-haired old man's name is Zhang Zaizhou, and he is the grandfather of the third prince Jiang Chengye.
Including the eleventh and thirteenth princes who have been imprisoned, among the seven legitimate princes, except for the second prince who is still in the ancient Loulan Kingdom and has not returned, the other six princes all have an extremely powerful mother clan. This is what they dare to fight for the throne.
Confidence!
"The only legitimate son of Da Jiang is not the crown prince, hahaha, it's so interesting."
Feng Yueqing, who was beside Jiang Chengye, suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.
"First Prince, is it because you are incompetent?"
"Be bold!"
"If you dare to speak rudely to His Highness the Prince and insult the royal family's orthodoxy, you will have several heads cut off!"
Jiang Jiye's face was gloomy, and a young eunuch behind him shouted sternly.
Feng Yueqing raised her eyebrows and sneered: "I am the saint of Fengye Holy Sect. In terms of status, only the crown prince and crown prince in Dajiang are equal to me. Who do you think the eldest prince is, and who do you think you are? Do you dare to speak nonsense?"
Cut my head off?"
"I think you are the bold one!"
"Those who don't understand dignity, Gao Ping, kill him!"
Boom.
Behind him, a young man suddenly took a step forward. The cultivation of the fifth-level middle emperor suddenly exploded, and the power of the avenue surged out and directly hit the young eunuch.
The young eunuch's expression changed, and the power of the Great Dao was also revealed in his body. He resisted with all his strength, and it turned out to be a second-level low-ranking emperor. However, he was still blown away by a blow and was seriously injured.
The golden avenue formed a great avenue sword, which was slashed down without mercy.
The saint said, kill him!
Sonorous.
It was the sound of a sword being unsheathed.
Behind Jiang Jiye, a young man in iron armor took action. A shocking sword flash passed by, blocking the fatal blow.
"Um?"
Gao Ping sighed and looked at the young man in armor.
Mo Xuan stood upright, his cold armor reflecting the heat of the sun, and his stern eyes were looking at Gao Ping.
The momentum of the two people began to rise continuously, and they continued to collide in the air, causing the void to tremble.
At this time, Jiang Jiye's face was so gloomy that he could drip water. The young eunuch was his personal eunuch, and it was up to the owner to beat the dog.
Feng Yueqing insulted him without saying anything, and even ordered his personal eunuch to be killed in front of him.
That's too much!
Feng Yueqing looked dissatisfied and shouted: "I said, kill that bitch!"
Before Gao Ping could continue his attack.
"Oh, I think you still don't understand your current situation clearly."
Jiang Jiye suddenly spoke.
Rumble!
The void in all directions shattered.
One hundred thousand Yulin troops came out of the void and tightly surrounded Wulongtai with murderous intent.
"You know it's the Hongmen Banquet, but you still come here anyway. It's really arrogant."
The expressions of the three princes did not change.
In three directions, the void fluctuated, and a large number of masters from Qinjian Villa and Fengye Holy Land as well as an elite cavalry came out of the void to confront the 100,000 Imperial Forest Army.
This is the reason why they dare to accept the appointment.
"Jiang Jiye, there are millions of troops of our palace on standby outside the imperial city. Do you dare to act rashly?"
