Xiang Chong is not a cruel person, never has been, nor is he a decisive person.
In today's situation, if he was determined to support Xiang Chong to ascend the throne, he actually had many choices, and Chu Xiu could come up with several despicable means.
After all, he is a direct descendant of the royal family who holds the Nine Dragon Seal. When it comes to his status, his room for maneuver is much greater than that of an outsider like Chu Xiu.
But in the end, Xiang Chong used the Nine Dragon Seal to confront Chu Xiu and others head-on. One can imagine what kind of person Xiang Chong is.
At this point, Xiang Chong hesitated again, should he fight Chu Xiu and the other mermaids to the death?
At this time, the ancestor of the Xiang royal family sighed and said: "Xiang Chong, stop it, the Nine Dragon Seal is not for you to fight for the throne.
If you lose, you lose. Do you have to use all your cards for your own affairs?"
The ancestor of the Xiang family went to persuade Xiang Chong to stop instead of persuading Chu Xiu, not because he didn't want to persuade him, but because he knew that he could not persuade Chu Xiu, so he could only persuade Xiang Chong.
If neither of the two parties stops first, the Beiyan Palace may not be able to be saved today.
Looking at the people who were still fighting below, and then at the bleeding corpses on the ground, Xiang Chong showed a look of helplessness in his eyes, but in the end he put away the Nine Dragon Seal and shouted in a reluctant voice: "Everyone stop!"
As Xiang Chong's words fell, everyone in the royal worship hall and the palace stopped. As soon as Kang Dongming heard this, he made a one-to-one gesture to Xiang Chong, turned around and left.
He just promised to fight for Xiang Chong once, and now that the promise is fulfilled, it is naturally his turn to leave.
However, when he saw Xiang Chong ordering all the people present to stop, Xiang Chong had already fallen into madness.
"Uncle Emperor! Don't stop! We still have a chance! We still have a chance!"
It's fine if you don't get something, but if you get it first and then lose it, the feeling is even worse than killing him.
This is the case with Xiang Chong now.
Before, he could only say that he had some illusions about the ownership of the throne. Of course, every prince had such illusions. In fact, he had never expected to become the emperor.
As a result, now, he has become the prince, and he is only one step away from this position. No, to be precise, not even half a step away.
Xiang Chong simply couldn't accept the result that the place he could reach and touch was so far away from him.
Looking at Xiang Chong's appearance, Xiang Chong couldn't help but shake his head and said to Xiang Li: "This time, we lost. The throne is yours. From now on, the Royal Enshrinement Hall will fully support your ascension to the throne.
But Xiang Chong is your brother after all, can you let him go for once?"
Xiang Li suppressed the excitement in his heart, shook his head calmly and said: "Uncle Emperor, I am very pleased that you can make the right choice, but it is absolutely impossible to let Xiang Chong go.
Uncle Emperor, you should have thought that if Xiang Chong became the emperor, would he be able to spare my life?
Letting him go is simply making myself uncomfortable. I'm not cold-blooded, it's just the rules!"
Xiang Chong sighed again when he heard this.
He had no feelings for Xiang Chong, and was even dissatisfied with Xiang Chong for deploying people in the royal sacrificial hall.
He just didn't want to see the people in the Xiang royal family continue to bleed. Now it seems that he was naive.
But if you die, just die. Just as Xiang Li said, he is already unwilling to die, and keeping him will be a trouble.
He, Xiang Chong, was only supporting Xiang Chong in accordance with the edict left by Xiang Long, but he did not really think highly of him.
If Xiang Long's edict included Xiang Li as the prince, he might have supported Xiang Li again.
"No! No!"
Xiang Chong was completely frightened, but in an instant he seemed to have gone crazy and rushed directly towards Xiang Li.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and waved his hand. Two Zhenwu Hall disciples immediately took action and dragged Xiang Chong aside, waiting for Xiang Li to deal with it later.
Chu Xiu patted Xiang Li on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness, prepare to ascend the throne."
In fact, Chu Xiu's behavior was very rude. Now that Xiang Li has confirmed his identity, he can ascend the throne at any time. The next moment, he will be the emperor of Beiyan, but Chu Xiu did it on purpose.
In the face of power and authority, some people cannot hold on to their original intentions and easily become lost and bloated. This is the case with Xiang Chong.
So what Chu Xiu is doing now is also reminding Xiang Li not to forget how you got your current throne!
In fact, Chu Xiu didn't need to remind him. Although Xiang Li was excited at this time, he was not so excited that he became dizzy.
Xiang Chong went from nothing to something, and then to nothing, while Xiang Li went from something to nothing, then lost and found again.
Although it was just a matter of order, it was enough to completely change Xiang Li's mentality.
Because he has already tasted loss, he doesn't want to experience loss again.
The ancestor of the Xiang royal family waved his hand and directly called for a group of people to wash the floor, thoroughly cleaning the imperial city that had been reduced to a mess.
After the floor cleaning was completed, although there were still many damages, it was much better than before.
The old ancestor of the Xiang royal family simply threw aside Xiang Long's edict, and began to carry out various complicated rituals step by step according to the ancestral system to arrange for Xiang Li to ascend the throne.
Things like posthumous edicts may have some meaning when you were alive, but now that you are completely cold, do you really expect anyone to take your nonsense about a dead person seriously?
Although Xiang Chong took it seriously, after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up.
When Xiang Li sat on the throne wearing that dragon robe, he was still a little dizzy.
He won, actually won. The position he had lost was back in his hands again. This feeling made Xiang Li indescribable.
Touching the ancient pattern on the dragon chair, Xiang Li had not thought how beautiful the dragon chair was before, and wanted to change it after he ascended the throne.
As a result, Xiang Li didn't realize how precious this thing was until he almost lost it.
After gathering his energy, the first thing Xiang Li did when he ascended the throne was to re-plan the current power structure of Bei Yan. This is what every emperor needs to do.
Among the military and other forces, Xiang Li did not move.
These neutral existences were the cornerstone of the entire Northern Yan Dynasty.
Although Xiang Li knew that they did not help him, they were all loyal to Bei Yan because his interests were already tied to Bei Yan.
As for those people who were inserted by Chu Xiu, they have naturally returned to the Zhenwu Hall now.
As for the Royal Enshrinement Hall, what was unexpected was that Xiang Li still let Xiang Chong control it.
Although Xiang Chong had been his enemy before, which almost prevented him from ascending to the throne, Xiang Li's vision was quite accurate.
The other party only wanted to put Xiang Chong on the throne because of the edict left by Xiang Long. In fact, Xiang Chong himself remained neutral. He was the one who truly cared for the Xiang royal family.
Moreover, Xiang Chong's own strength is not weak. In addition, he is a direct descendant of the royal family and can control the Nine Dragon Seal. It is more appropriate to continue to control this position.
This was a bit unexpected even for Xiang Chong himself, because he had already made plans to live in seclusion in the royal worship hall and change the person in charge to someone else.
When Xiang Li said this, Xiang Chong's face showed a complicated look, and he bowed and nodded in agreement.
Of course, apart from the Royal Enshrinement Hall, Xiang Li will definitely take back the other powers that Xiang Long gave him before.
For example, the group of masters in Ouchi and the imperial guard army, among which Xiang Li was handed over to Xiang Wu to control.
Regarding Xiang Wu, Xiang Li had not paid much attention to him before. Chu Xiu once told him that among all the people in the Northern Yan royal family, Xiang Wu was the one he was most optimistic about, and Xiang was the one worth winning over. Wu.
Now Xiang Li had no doubts about Chu Xiu's gaze on people, so he gave the imperial army to Xiang Wu, who was also from the Xiang family. He was not worried about betrayal by the other party, and it could also play a role in winning over Xiang Wu.
Of course, in Chu Xiu's opinion, this was not of much use.
He said this to Xiang Li unintentionally. If Xiang Li really wanted to win over Xiang Wu, he wouldn't need to give any imperial guards. You could buy the entire bananas in Yanjing City and give them to Xiang Wu. The effect would probably be better than this.
After awarding the others, Xiang Li looked at Chu Xiu, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "I...I decided to upgrade the standards of the Zhenwu Hall. From now on, the Zhenwu Hall will be of the same standard as the entire military.
The imperial court of Beiyan controlled the country, the Zhenwu Hall commanded the martial arts of Beiyan, and the Jianghu and the imperial court became one!
From today on, Mr. Chu is recognized as the supreme martial arts master in Beiyan, and he is also the pillar stone of Beiyan!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
Chu Xiufai's efforts to help Xiang Li ascend to the throne were definitely not in vain. He would definitely get something afterward.
But no one expected that Chu Xiu’s appetite would be so big. What he wanted was the entire Beiyan Wulin!
If he wants to control the entire Beiyan Wulin in one fell swoop, isn't Chu Xiu afraid of dying?
The faces of the people in Chunyang Daomen and Daguangming Temple have turned dark, and the Beiyan Wulin is controlled by Chu Xiu. It is conceivable that there will definitely be no place for them in the future.
Chu Xiu stood up and said calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiang Li did not regret it, and now it seems that his mind is still clear.
He was promoted to the throne by Chu Xiu, and everyone saw this.
If Xiang Li goes back on his word at this time, he will not only have to face Chu Xiu's counterattack, but it will also chill the other Beiyan forces.
If you dare to turn against the person who personally helped you to the throne, then who will dare to do things for you in the future? It is okay to be mean and ungrateful, but that is secretly. Anyone who is like this openly will have no friends.
In fact, at the beginning, Xiang Li even wanted to establish the Demonic Way as the state religion of Beiyan, but Chu Xiu refused.
Hidden demons are demons, and visible demons are also demons. Which demon is the state religion?
Also, he, Chu Xiu, is from the Hidden Demon lineage, but those old guys from Situ Qi are also from the Hidden Demon lineage. Do they want to take advantage of the power they have established? What a wishful thinking!
Therefore, Chu Xiu still asked Xiang Li to only give him the absolute status of the Zhenwu Hall. Only the Zhenwu Hall truly belonged to him, Chu Xiu.
