The capital of Lu fell, Yuzhou was horrified, and all the countries in the world were shaken!
In less than ten months, the bad news had spread throughout the world, and even the Emperor Tang in the Emperor Qiu of the Yin Dynasty knew about it.
The princes in the world are excited, how can they endure such a fatal threat.
The capital of a great country collapsed, and the once glorious Nanyang Yeting was now completely reduced to ruins.
This shocking bloody massacre announced to the world that the Gong family lineage has not been completely extinct and still has the power to cause turmoil.
Of course, Yuzhou is located in a remote area among the nine states, and the place is barren and not taken seriously. Lu State is also only a powerful country in Yuzhou. There are at least thirty countries that are more powerful than Lu State in terms of the world.
However, all the big countries in the country disappeared without warning, and 300,000 Guizhou people turned into withered bones, which still made all the princes in the world tremble and fear.
Especially the emergence of the [Wu Gou Divine Weapon] from the Gong family made all the princes in the world panic.
You must know that the Emperor's Sword of Emperor Yin and the swords of many princes were forged with the blood of countless members of the Gong clan.
At that time, the first Emperor Yin enfeoffed meritorious ministers and gained hundreds and twenty princes. Although thousands of years have passed, many of the original one hundred and twenty feudal states may have been lost in the long river of time, but there are more
It still stands tall on the land of Kyushu, standing tall and majestic as an ancient great state.
These efforts made a great contribution to the overthrow of the Tong clan by Emperor Yin, and they naturally did not want to see the Tong clan reappear.
Moreover, the Gong family used such a large-scale effort to reduce the capital of a country to ruins, causing the Lu State to lose its vitality for decades.
Except for a few big feudal states, who can really turn a blind eye to such harsh actions.
The person who started making the figurines has no descendants. The Gong family was so unscrupulous, which really touched the pain point of the princes of the world.
Hundreds of miles of Nanyang were turned into a dead end, with countless casualties and no human habitation. The impact of such a cruel method was extremely far-reaching.
South of Jiuyi Mountain, one of the thirteen largest cities in the Lu Kingdom, Ying Yi!
Inside the official residence, the pavilions and pavilions are as prosperous as a brocade, and there are exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and beasts everywhere, all of which demonstrate the extremely noble status of the owner of the official residence.
Prince Xun, Shao Shao, was dressed in rich clothes and wearing a purple jade crown, with a slightly heavy face, standing in the stone pavilion.
He wandered in the pavilion with his hands behind his back, his expression changing, and he seemed to be hesitant about a difficult matter in his heart.
On one side of the stone pavilion, a middle-aged counselor looked anxious. He stretched out his hand several times to speak, but then sighed silently. He could only look at the Crown Prince of Lu and wait for the Crown Prince's conclusion.
However, Prince Xun's temperament lacked decisiveness and he was always hesitant in doing things. Seeing that the great opportunity was fleeting, he was about to be buried in his own hands.
This made the middle-aged counselor anxious, almost wanting to grab the crown prince's shirt and state the pros and cons again.
Young Master Xun stared blankly at the ripples in the pool and murmured to himself: "Mr. Li, if this matter has to be so decisive, is there any room for change?"
"this……"
Li An looked at the hesitant look on the crown prince's face, secretly shook his head, suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the overall situation of the Lu Kingdom is like this, and you should continue to suffer chaos from it. It's time for you to make a decision."
Young Master Xun looked quite depressed and sighed: "I don't know whether your father is alive or dead. If I establish myself as a marquis, the other brothers will certainly not accept it. It is another dispute. If it is not handled properly, I will become a sinner of the Lu Kingdom."
The middle-aged counselor gritted his teeth, stamped his foot fiercely, and said, "Oh, my eldest son... If the king had not disappeared, how could you have had such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
"The prince is without a trace. As the heir apparent, you are sitting on the throne and becoming the new king of the Lu Kingdom. What's wrong with that?"
"Young Master Yang, Young Master Ran, are eyeing the throne of the king, and there is also a rebellious Young Master Yu in Lu in the south. Now is the right time. You have the reputation of being the heir apparent inside, and you have the power of the Song Dynasty outside. It is time for you to take the throne immediately.
"
Li An's words were sonorous and powerful, and he said: "What's more, you ascended the throne as the eldest son. Even if the other princes are dissatisfied, you have maintained the eldest son system, and the princes of the world will also be your foreign aid."
"You have the right weather and the right people. As long as you control a few more large towns in the state of Lu, you will have good geographical advantages. Why can't you succeed?"
After all, since the founding of the Yin Dynasty, the system of direct descendants has been implemented as the foundation of the vassal states.
Even after thousands of years of vicissitudes, the direct chief system is no longer as stable as it was at the beginning of the Yin Dynasty, but it still has many solid supporters.
With Li An's plan, Mr. Xun now has the title of Zhengshuo.
There will certainly be opposition to Mr. Xun's succession to the throne, but it may not be huge.
Mr. Xun pondered for a while and then hesitated: "If... if, my brothers raise an army, wouldn't the Lu Kingdom be torn apart?"
Because Xun Shaoyu separatized Shangcai and was granted the title of Doctor Cai, he became a powerful faction in the south.
In order to balance the various princes, Xun Shangguan also sealed many young masters in wealthy and important places in the past few years. Therefore, several young masters also held a considerable part of their strength.
Now that Nanyang has fallen and the king of the country is nowhere to be found, it is inevitable that several young masters will have their thoughts on coveting the throne.
Li An said coldly: "So, you can't let them have a chance!"
"You are the direct descendant of the bloodline. As long as the Crown Prince gets the help of Master Wen and persuades the Grand Master to support you, who else will this great position be compared to you?"
"After all, you have taken the rightful position first, and with the support of the Xun clan elders, they cannot make waves."
"this……"
Mr. Xun pursed his lips and clenched his hands into fists, with veins bulging out.
At this time, a chamberlain hurriedly walked into the pavilion, bowed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Madam has summoned you."
"Um……"
Young Master Xun felt as if he had received an amnesty. His tense body could not help but relax a little, and he quickly said: "I'll go right now."
As he said that, he glanced at Li An who looked disappointed. A hint of shame flashed across Master Xun's expression, and he said, "Mr. Li, please wait for a moment. Mother may have called you for something important. I'll return it as soon as you go."
Li An bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please go, please go!"
Looking at Mr. Xun's retreating figure, Li An looked bitter and sighed quietly.
"No matter how brilliant the strategy is, it will be difficult for the master to implement it, so what can I do as a counselor?"
…………
Residence flower garden, west wing!
Si Xuanyun sat gently in front of the dressing table, her face glowing with coldness.
Qingli stood quietly aside, like a beautiful jade sculpture, just looking at the approaching red sandalwood indifferently.
I saw the red sandalwood steps slowly, and between the ribbons on the willow waist, there was a sword decorated with pearls and jade, as if it had the edge of a sword fairy, and he said slowly: "Madam, the maid is back."
Si Xuanyun raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you want your father to say when you come back this time?"
When Nanyang collapsed, under the protection of a group of masters, Si Xuanyun escaped from the Tong clan's siege without any injuries.
After Si Xuanyun settled in the camp, he secretly sent Zitan, a close confidant, to the Song Dynasty to seek support from the Song Dynasty.
After all, as a noble daughter of the Song Dynasty, how could Si Xuanyun not know about her father's ambitions?
Xuanhou of the Song Dynasty was determined to seize the position of overlord of Yuzhou and restore the glory of the Si surname in ancient times. Now that the power of the Lu State has been greatly damaged, he may not take advantage of the opportunity to enter the field to profit one or two.
In Si Xuanyun's heart, as long as Mr. Xun could be allowed to ascend to the position of king, some sacrifices in interests were inevitable.
Zitan said softly: "Zitan returns to the Song Dynasty this time, and the prince will certainly have an explanation."
Hearing this, Si Xuanyun's beautiful eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want to say to your father?"
Zi Tan Nuo Nuo said: "Your Majesty has said that now that the Lu State has lost its master, and the princes are vying for the throne, it is an opportunity for the Song State to intervene in the state affairs of the Lu State. Moreover, the prince's rare temperament of honest, honest, pure and filial piety is not only an opportunity for the Song State, but also for you, Madam.
Opportunity."
"As the wife of the State of Lu, you have a solid foundation in the government. You may not be able to imitate the ancient ancestors and become a female monarch for the time being. When the time comes, the State of Lu can cooperate with the Song State in dealing with the outside world. The hegemony of the Song State can be expected, and the State of Lu will not be missing."
the benefits of."
Si Xuanyun hesitated and whispered to himself: "Nvjun?"
In the ancient world, humans and gods were mixed, and many famous fairies and goddesses were born as clan leaders. However, after the ancient times, etiquette and ethics were perfected, and there were few female monarchs who held power.
Zitan said softly: "The intention of the king is to allow you to take over the throne temporarily, and also to use the title of regent to appease the dissatisfaction of the elders of the Xun family and the old ministers of the Lu State, so as to take charge of the power of the Lu State.
"
"Hmph... Jun's father's appetite is not that big!" Si Xuanyun frowned and said coldly: "Could it be that Jun's father still wants to take this opportunity to swallow up Lu Guo's foundation?"
Zitan was silent. Lu Guo was now a piece of fat and oily meat. I don't know how many people wanted to bite off a piece of meat from Lu Guo. This was just human nature.
Between countries, there are only eternal interests, but no eternal enemies or friends.
"Father Jun has a good idea," Si Xuanyun said quietly, "but there needs to be a prerequisite!"
"Without the accurate news of Xun Shangguan's death, it is impossible for the elders of the Xun family to support Ze'er's ascension to the throne, and Grand Master Wen will not recognize Ze'er's position as king. How can I be the legitimate regent?"
"Besides, it is inevitable that the female regent will be separated from Ze'er, which is not what I want. As long as I take Ze'er to the throne, can it be that the power of the Song Dynasty cannot suppress the dissatisfaction of those old guys?"
Si Xuanyun groaned angrily: "I think he just doesn't want to stabilize the overall situation, but wants to swallow up the unstable Lu State."
Zitan said softly: "Madam, even if Lu Guo's vitality is damaged now, Song Guo cannot swallow it one bite at a time. Besides, even if the prince wants to swallow it, he has to look at Zheng Guo's developments before he can make a decision.
Otherwise, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind, allowing Zheng Guo to gain an advantage, which the king will never do."
Si Xuanyun smiled bitterly and said: "The most important thing now is to let Ze'er ascend the throne, but Ze'er is too hesitant to look forward and backward, which greatly disappoints me."
If Young Master Xun gave it a try, as the eldest son of the monarch, he might not be able to win the support of Grand Master Wen and Taichang Xun. However, Young Master Xun had a too soft temper, which made the elders of the Xun family worry that Young Master Xun was not qualified for the important responsibilities of the monarch.
Today's Lu State is at a critical moment of life and death. Only a tough new king can continue the power of Lu State. He is also the new king that the Xun clan elders are looking forward to.
Now that things have happened, sometimes Si Xuanyun can't help but ask himself, whether Young Master Xun, with such a weak temper, can firmly hold the position of king.
After all, Young Master Xun's so-called indecisiveness and foresight are not the qualities that a true king should have.
The truly wise kings are all decisive and strong-willed, and they are completely opposite to Mr. Xun!
Si Xuanyun said coldly, with a bone-chilling murderous intent that made people shudder, and said: "You said, if those three little brats are all dead, no one can threaten Ze'er's throne!"
At this moment, Si Xuanyun's heart was filled with murderous intent.
Xun Shaoyu, Xun Shaoyang, and Xun Shaoran are the most brilliant figures among the princes of Wen, and they are also the greatest threat to Xun Shaoze's competition for the position of king.
As long as these three people are killed, half of Ruo Xun Shaoze's position as king will have been obtained.
"It's just that among the three of them, Xun Shaoyang has Zheng Guo as his backer, so he shouldn't move lightly. Xun Shaoran has the support of some elders of the Xun family, so he can't deal with him carelessly."
"There is only one Xun Shaoyu who has a shallow foundation, but with his spiritual practice of becoming a saint, ordinary people cannot kill him."
When thinking of Xun Shaoyu, Si Xuanyun's pupils flashed with a strange color.
Even she didn't expect that the bastard whom she had grown up with would be so forbearing that he would completely escape his control.
Qingli looked heavy and said: "Madam, even top-notch earth wandering immortals such as Ghost Master have failed, letting Xun Shaoyu cut off his soul body with one sword, and he has not fully recovered yet. It is really difficult to attack and kill Xun Shaoyu.
Make it more difficult."
"..."
When Si Xuanyun heard this, he nodded slowly and said, "That bastard is no longer what he used to be."
The Ghost Master and Taoist were great masters in refining gods and returning them to virtual reality. He was only one step away from being able to prove the way of heaven and man. However, Xun Shaoyu chopped him down with one strike, and his three souls and seven souls were almost wiped out.
Only a trace of the true spirit of Yuanshen was left, which escaped Xun Shaoyu's sword and barely hid in a secret place, lingering and breathing.
There is no doubt that Xun Shaoyu's cultivation has exceeded Si Xuanyun's imagination.
According to the ghost master Taoist, when he recalled that time, he only remembered a piercing sword light, sweeping across the sky, earth, sun and moon, and the ghost realm where he lived was like a bubble, broken into countless pieces.
The black lotus that the ghost master Taoist cherished his life also turned into ashes under that knife.
Qingli whispered, "Xun Shaoyu has the indestructible Taoist body and is extremely difficult to kill. However, Xun Shaoran only relies on the help of the Xun clan elders, so there may not be any flaws."
Si Xuanyun thought: "Well... As long as Xun Shaoran dares to show any flaw, he will die."
"Mother,"
Suddenly, Si Shaoze's call rang out, surprising Si Xuanyun who had been deep in thought.
Young Master Si bowed and said, "My son has seen his mother."
Seeing the eldest son's respectful attitude, Si Xuanyun helplessly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
At this time, Si Xuanyun could not help but regret that he had pushed the young master to the throne at all costs.
After all, Xun Shaoyu occupied Nanlu, and Xun Shaoyang and Xun Shaoran were generally tiger and wolf figures, and he was a rare hero.
Otherwise, with Young Master Xun's weak temperament, fighting with three tigers and wolves, if he doesn't use any extra moves, anyone can really swallow Young Master Xun in one go.
