Chapter 836: Rushing to Support

As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, another guard rushed in:

"Your Highness! I just received news that several important officials in the court jointly wrote a letter requesting that Your Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne immediately!"

Xia Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this:

"So soon?"

He pondered for a moment, then said:

"Well, if that's the case, then let's do as they ask."

"Pass on my order, and the coronation ceremony will be held tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

The guard took the order and left.

Xia Yuan turned to the crowd:

"Everyone, I'm afraid you will have to work hard next."

Li Yang smiled slightly:

"Your Highness, you are too kind. This is our responsibility."

Yun Youzi also nodded:

"That's right, for the sake of the people of the world, we have no choice but to do it."

Zhang Hui looked determined:

"Don't worry... I will definitely decipher the contents of the stone tablet as soon as possible."

Xia Yuan nodded with relief:

"Okay, that's settled."

"Everyone go to rest first, there are still important things to do tomorrow."

After everyone left, Xia Yuan stood alone in front of the window, looking at the dark night sky, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The death of his father...the invasion of foreign races...and the conspiracy of chaos...

All of this made him feel stressed.

But he knew that as a new king who was about to ascend the throne, he must stand up and lead Daxia through this difficult time.

The next morning, the entire palace began to get busy.

The coronation ceremony was in full swing, and all the civil and military officials in the court gathered together to witness this historic moment.

When Xia Yuan, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, took over the imperial seal, everyone knelt on the ground involuntarily:

"Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Xia Yuan looked around and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, please stand up."

"I have inherited the throne and feel a great responsibility."

"Now the state affairs are difficult, I am willing to work together with you to overcome the difficulties."

All the officials responded in unison: "We will do our best to assist your majesty in governing the country!"

At this moment, a young eunuch hurried in and whispered a few words in Xia Yuan's ear.

Xia Yuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he returned to normal.

He said loudly:

"My dear ministers, I have important matters to deal with, so I will leave first."

After that, he quickly left the hall.

Arriving at the side hall, Xia Yuan saw Li Yang and Yun Youzi waiting there.

"What's going on?"

Xia Yuan asked straight to the point.

Yun Youzi slowly turned his head and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, we just got the news that a rebellion broke out suddenly in several counties in the south."

"The rebels are under the banner of 'clearing the court' and claiming to avenge the late emperor."

Xia Yuan couldn't help but frowned when he heard this:

"These people... are too ignorant of the times."

Yun Youzi continued:

"Not only that, we also found that there seem to be some black-robed people mixed in with these rebels."

"They are probably trying to take advantage of the situation to get in on the act. Fish, create conditions for their own plans. "

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment, then said:

"It seems that they want to attack from all sides and disrupt the deployment of our Great Xia. "

"There are foreign invasions in the north, rebels in the south, and their spies in the capital..."

"This group of people is really painstaking. "

Li Yang nodded:

"Yes, they obviously want to divert our attention so that they can hold a ceremony near the capital. "

Xia Yuan took a deep breath:

"Then we What should we do now? "

Yun Youzi pondered:

"In my opinion, we can divide our troops into three groups. "

"One group goes to the northern border to resist the aliens, one group goes south to quell the rebellion, and one group stays in the capital to continue tracking down the whereabouts of the black-robed man. "

Xia Yuan nodded:

"This is a good idea. "

"Then let's do it, Li Yang, you take an elite division to the northern border. "

"Master Yun, please go south to quell the rebellion. "

"As for the capital..."

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment,

"Let me take charge personally."

Li Yang and Yun Youzi looked at each other and said at the same time:

"Your Majesty, this may not be appropriate..."

Xia Yuan waved his hand:

"I have made up my mind."

"The situation is tense now. If I hide in the back, it will inevitably make people suspicious."

"Besides, the target of those black-robed men is likely to be near the capital."

"If I take charge personally, I can respond to emergencies at any time."

Seeing Xia Yuan's firm attitude, Li Yang and Yun Youzi had to nod in agreement.

After discussing the details, the three of them went to prepare.

At the same time, in a hidden valley hundreds of miles away from the capital.

Several black-robed men were gathered together, talking in low voices.

"Sir, everything is going according to plan."

"The northern tribes have begun to attack, and the southern rebels are already in place."

"Very good." The leading black-robed man nodded,

"What about the capital?"

Another black-robed man replied:

"Our people have infiltrated various key departments."

"As long as the order is given, we can act at any time."

"Well..." The leading black-robed man pondered for a moment, "But we still have to be careful."

"The newly enthroned little emperor seems to be more difficult to deal with than we thought."

"Yes." Another black-robed man said,

"The people around him are not simple either."

"Especially the man named Li Yang...his strength is unfathomable."

The leading black-robed man snorted coldly:

"Hmph, they are just some clowns."

"When the power of chaos comes on the summer solstice, the world will be ours!"

The other black-robed men heard this and showed excitement.

Just then, a black-robed man hurried in:

"Sir, it's not good!"

"Our people in the capital sent news that the new emperor has begun to investigate our whereabouts!"

The leading black-robed man frowned slightly when he heard this:

"Oh? It seems that this little emperor has some tricks."

"But..." He sneered, "Let him check it out."

"Anyway, there is still some time before the summer solstice, let them spend more time thinking."

"When the time is right, we will give them a fatal blow!"

The other black-robed men nodded in agreement when they heard this.

At the same time, Li Yang had already led an elite army and rushed to the northern border.

Along the way, they saw many refugees fleeing from the north.

These refugees all had horrified expressions on their faces, telling of the brutal acts of the foreign invasion.

Li Yang put aside the details for the time being and could not help but speed up the march.

Finally, after three days of marching, they arrived at the important town in the northern border...

Xuanwu City.

As soon as he entered the city, Li Yang was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The originally prosperous city was now in ruins.

The streets were full of ruins, and some corpses could be seen from time to time.

Li Yang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and walked quickly towards the city lord's mansion.

City Lord Jiang Wu was discussing countermeasures with several generals. When he saw Li Yang coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him:

"General Li, you are finally here!"
