Chapter 629 When the Four Symbols Sect and the Demon Suppression Division Merge
The vast country in front of me...
Yes.
Since Old Xia is dead, either everyone will just leave it alone and return to the rivers and lakes, watching Xia lose its power and the world chase it, and wait for a new wise leader to unify the world.
Are you willing to do this?
If not, then you have to take over and clean up this mess yourself.
No place in the world recognizes Great Xia anymore, even in the capital, few people recognize it. Whether Zhao Changhe or Xia Chichi wants to take over, I'm afraid that the ministers can't be summoned, and no one will care.
Zhao Changhe, the prince that many people thought of in the past? The whole world is rebelling, and the emperor doesn't recognize him, so what is the prince!
Xia Chichi? Who are you...
When the common people wake up from their dreams, the vast country in front of them, but they have to clean it up by themselves.
There is almost no political legacy to speak of. It can even be said that the difficulty of cleaning up the world in the name of continuing Great Xia is more troublesome than establishing a new territory and fighting for the world again, because all that Old Xia left behind are negative effects.
For example, Li Shentong knows that he has no ability to govern, and he is not motivated by selfish desires. If he were to join a righteous army with a decent reputation, he might join. But if it was the Xia army that came to recruit them? The Divine Glory Wind and Thunder Palm might hit you in the face, and the mentality brought by the name is completely different.
Instead, it was Zhao Changhe who gave the Great Xia "legacy"... If Li Shentong would not hit him with a slap, it would only be because this person is Zhao Changhe, and he would give him some face. Jiangnan, Cui Family, Cao Gang, Jingxiang, Miaojiang, basically the same, they would not recognize a Xia prince, and if they did, it was because this person was Zhao Changhe.
Unconsciously, Zhao Changhe himself could play a greater political role than anyone else, and the degree of Qi and Meridian convergence was almost half of the country.
This is what you do as a person... But face is face, not everyone will listen to you if you raise your arms and call, there are many things to do.
The funniest thing is that there are no soldiers in the capital, and those who do are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. If a "loyalist army" suddenly arrives in the capital, they might be driven away directly.
Zhao Changhe and Zhuque Xia Chichi looked at each other for a long time, thinking about these questions in their minds. Finally, Zhao Changhe sighed: "Your Excellency, cooperation?"
Zhuque raised his chin: "We support you as the emperor, and we are the state religion, right? Brothers should settle accounts clearly. This kind of thing is very important. Even if you are a fire pig, we have to talk it out. For example, after you take office, the queen must..."
"Wait..." Zhao Changhe waved his hand: "I want to help Chichi take office."
Zhuque: "..."
Xia Chichi glanced at Zhao Changhe, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
Zhao Changhe asked: "What's your opinion? If you don't want to, that's another matter."
Xia Chichi smiled: "If you don't want to do it, then of course it's just me. Am I really going to stay away from the world and fight against the Hu people by myself, leaving others to fight for the world here? When did I, Xia Chichi, become a saint?"
"Emmmm..."
Xia Chichi looked deeply at Xia Longyuan's body, and whispered as if talking to himself: "And I want to do it. He entrusted his son to you, and his last words were like Zhaolie to Wu Hou... I want to say what right he has, he is a shit Zhaolie, why does he treat me like a fool? Not only will I do it, I will also repay the debt to the world for him. Ask him in the future, how about the daughter you didn't even want to see in the end? Maybe the only valuable thing you have done in this world is to give birth to this daughter! "
Zhao Changhe nodded: "Since you have this intention, I will definitely help you."
Suzaku asked: "It's actually easier for you to do it yourself, why not? Because Xia Longyuan entrusted you with his orphan?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Old Xia owes others, but not me. I think he is wrong in public affairs, and I should do my best to complete the private affairs entrusted to me. This is also the meaning."
Suzaku said nothing.
Give up the throne in front of you, for the sake of righteousness... No wonder people like you would fall in love with the Tang family hoof, they are really a perfect match.
Well, then why do I fall in love with you?
"More importantly..." Zhao Changhe whispered, "I can't be an emperor, and I need to fight all over the world, and I need to deal with gods and demons later. If I am in this position, I will be the second Xia Longyuan. If a warrior is really peerless, why do you want to be an emperor... I am blind, but my mind is really clear..."
Blind man: "..."
Suzaku didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Since you all mean this, let's discuss it later. Her blood relationship and the so-called succession of the great lineage are all negative effects. If this is the case, it is better for me, the Four Elephants, to teach you to conquer the world and be independent in an open and aboveboard manner."
"That's what I mean. You are independent, and I will help you conquer the world."
Suzaku widened his eyes behind the mask.
Zhao Changhe tilted his head slightly. Damn, even with the mask covering it, this look is too much like Huangfu Qing when he was surprised and cute. Be cooler, or I will unmask you...
He calmed down and said seriously: "There are no decent soldiers in the capital. The last elite has been taken to Puyang by Huangfu Shaozong. There are several parts that can fight now. One is the servants and thugs raised by each family. The nature of the capital is special. It is not like the armed forces of landlords in other places. It is not an army. You and I can break it alone. The second is the Demon Suppression Division under Wanzhuang. This is the real elite, and most of them obey Wanzhuang..."
Suzaku had a blank expression: "Yes, Wanzhuang."
Zhao Changhe tilted his head: "The third is the Venerable Qing'er and I have blown..."
There is no comma between the two words Qing'er and Venerable, and the word blow is emphasized. I don't know what it means.
Zhuque wanted to ask him to be more careful when speaking, at least pause and make his tone clear, but Zhao Changhe continued: "The Four Elephants Sect has great potential. Many officials in the court have infiltrated it, and there are also a large number of followers lurking among the people. If they organize at any time, they will be a strong army. I think Qing'er has already organized it, and is waiting to control the imperial city after the death of Old Xia. The report of the Book of Chaos may have been working outside."
Zhuque smiled: "You are not stupid."
Of course I am well prepared! As long as Tang Wanzhuang is not in the way, we can directly establish ourselves in the capital. Let alone learn from Dong Zhuo, it would be like playing to learn from Li Jue and Guo Si to hold the officials hostage.
The biggest difference from the end of the Han Dynasty is that the legal system of the Han Dynasty is still there, and messing around will lose the righteousness. And this Great Xia is really independent, you just need to subdue people.
As they were talking, there were orderly footsteps from above, and someone reported from above: "Report to the Venerable, the four gates of the capital and the gates of the palace city have been controlled. All the officials have been escorted to the palace gate by the brothers in the sect, waiting for the court meeting... Well, not all of them are escorted, many of them are our brothers."
True Dong Zhuo enters the capital.
The Four Elephants Sect has been lurking for many years and finally showed its fangs.
The three of them left the underground of the Imperial Temple and quickly went to the palace gate. They saw a large number of officials standing there, looking at the three people who came, with ambiguous eyes.
Many "insiders" think that Zhao Changhe is the hidden prince, and they are waiting for him to announce the news of inheriting the throne. If it is him, in fact, many people have been preparing for it for a long time, and it is not unacceptable. But there is a very serious problem. Before, the whole world rebelled, and Xia Longyuan didn't even have a little dragon energy, which means that these people actually rebelled. If the prince really succeeds to the throne, should they be cleared?
And there are many aristocratic families here, as well as the disciples and former officials of the aristocratic families...basically all of them.
So the fact that Old Xia stayed behind basically had negative effects. They knew you were the crown prince and expected you to succeed them, but not many people wanted you to succeed them.
It would be better to simply establish a new world with absolute force. The Four Elephants Sect had its own officials, army, and high-level team. The foundation was there, but it might have to go through a more brutal purge.
In front of all the officials, an old man slowly spoke: "I am Lu Jianzhang, honored to be the prime minister. The crown prince and my nephew Shouyi have met once..."
It sounds like a relationship, but it is actually full of irony. A "crown prince" who is now preparing to ascend the throne doesn't even know what the prime minister looks like.
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Greetings, Prime Minister Lu."
Lu Jianzhang said, "If the prince wants to inherit the throne, why does he have a connection with the Demon Cult and coerce the officials?"
Zhao Changhe said, "Who said the prince inherited the throne? My surname is Zhao."
The officials were stunned. What did he say...
But Xia Chichi spoke in a clear and cold voice, "The tyrant is unjust and the world will attack him. The Four Symbols Sect inherited the mandate of heaven, sent the Azure Dragon to the world, and established the country of the human world. Prime Minister Lu has a deep family background. Could it be that he doesn't know where the emperor of the last era is?"
Lu Jianzhang was stunned. The emperor of the last era seemed to be the ancient Azure Dragon. Because of this mess, the Four Symbols Sect even mistook Xia Longyuan...
Legal principles and legal traditions, if you want to find them, there are great scholars debating. The legal traditions of the Four Symbols Sect have been inherited from ancient times, so why do they need to inherit Xia Longyuan's...
Many people's thoughts were racing. This step is interesting. It seems that it is not impossible to step down...Why is Lu Jianzhang standing here as a representative of the officials? Can't we express our position to follow the dragon first? The main thing is to think clearly. Now the power of the Four Symbols Sect not only covers the capital but also Jianghuai. What will happen next? Can they succeed?
Many people are just old officials of aristocratic families, and I am not from an aristocratic family... If I follow the right master, why can't I become a new aristocratic family?
Just as I was thinking about it, a neat team suddenly went up the steps beside the palace gate.
Xia Chichi looked coldly and saw that it was Tang Wanzhuang who strode with a group of elite members of the Demon Suppression Division.
The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be sparks in their eyes.
All the officials who wanted to speak did not speak, and thought to themselves that a good show was coming. Tang Wanzhuang's prestige and popularity in the court and the public were not a joke. As long as she said an objection, once the Four Symbols Sect wanted to massacre the Demon Suppression Division, it would still be a demon sect in the eyes of the world, and the people's hearts would be lost, not as good as Dong Zhuo.
In full view of the crowd, Tang Wanzhuang stood in front of Xia Chichi and stared at him for a long while. Suddenly, she leaned slightly to one knee and saluted: "Tang Wanzhuang and her colleagues from the Demon Suppression Division come to see the Crown Prince."
No one noticed that the direction she knelt was slightly off. In fact, she was only willing to kneel to Zhao Changhe.
In the eyes of others, she was the first one to openly support Xia Chichi's enthronement!
Everyone was stunned. Tang Wanzhuang's character was broken...Everyone knew clearly from the previous report of the Book of Chaos that the one who wanted to kill your clan was a puppet, not the real emperor. Are you rebelling now? If Tang Wanzhuang's character was broken and she became the first one to support the Demon Cult, then her halo would be lost...Why were her colleagues from the Demon Suppression Division silent and no one objected?
Wait a minute...She said she wanted to see the Crown Prince. What Crown Prince did she see?
Xia Chichi curled her lips slightly and bent down to help Tang Wanzhuang: "Although I am the orphan of Emperor Xia, I am not the prince, and I even want to change the dynasty. Don't mention this again, Master."
The crowd roared.
Related to Zhao Changhe's "My surname is Zhao" just now, and the surname Xia is here!
This is the true bloodline of Emperor Xia!
This time it's interesting, whether those who support changing the dynasty or those who support traditional legal principles can correspond to the same person. The complex reactions that converged cannot be sorted out for a while. The first point is that this prince rebelled himself, and she will not settle accounts!
Tang Wanzhuang said: "I am grateful to the late emperor and I am willing to help him. This is my personal opinion. I am a citizen of Shenzhou, not from any dynasty or generation. I am a man. I hope Your Majesty will learn from the past and take the heart of the world as your own."
The essence is the first half of the sentence... It sounds like she is grateful to the late emperor and is willing to help his daughter, but why not just say it directly...
Zhuque has always been silent and glanced at the direction where Tang Wanzhuang knelt. Slut, if you want to support your man unconditionally, just say it directly, why are you beating around the bush...
But when she turned around and saw everyone's dumbfounded expressions, she had to admit that Tang Wanzhuang's platform was much more useful than her Four Elephants' hostage coercion. One person can be as good as 100,000 soldiers... This is the righteousness of the people, who said it is useless!
