thought here.

Looking at Eunuch Wen who was standing beside him, Emperor Hui Wen asked, "Are you all ready?"

Eunuch Wen didn't know why he asked such a question, but since Emperor Huiwen had spoken, he had to answer as a servant.

Wei Wei bowed her body and replied, "This old slave is all ready, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. In addition, the invited celebrities and the people who are well-versed in the world have already arrived, and they arrived at the post house yesterday. , they should all be in the palace now."

"Yeah." Emperor Huiwen nodded.

The irritable heart was a little calmer, but still worried.

Mainly because of the things that happened during this time, nothing was satisfactory, just like last night.

Shen Yulu has already moved the reinforcements of the Teng Snake clan, but when he entered the palace to see him, a shock change occurred. Except for Teng Zong and other high-level people, all the others were killed, and the entire Teng Snake clan was thrown into one pot. , there is no soup left.

afterwards.

Shen Yulu and Teng Zong, like crazy, used supernatural powers to search frantically, and the court's men and horses helped, but still did not find the murderer.

before this.

No matter what happened above, Emperor Huiwen had never been so uneasy as he is now, and it was only during this period of time.

Taking a sip from the teacup, he was shocked.

Putting down the teacup, his eyes fell on Daoist Chen Gong, and he said again: "Where are you?"

Daoist Chen Gong didn't know what Emperor Huiwen was worried about, but everything was ready. The sky and the earth were all under their control. As long as Xiao Ran and Nether Prison dared to take action, they would be able to suppress them immediately. Why bother?

Looking at Emperor Huiwen, thinking that today is his sixty-sixth birthday, he sighed in his heart: "He is old and no longer as brave as he was when he was young! Da Zhou really needs a young emperor to lead the country out of the country. The current predicament will sweep across the Xia Kingdom, unify the major forces, and dominate the Illusory World Continent."

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it.

Do Ji bowed and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Pindao's side has been prepared properly! Absolutely foolproof."

"Yeah." Emperor Huiwen nodded.

This is a complete reassurance.

After a while, he asked again, "Where's the old fourteenth?"

"Everything is ready, everything is according to your plan, Your Majesty." Daoist Chen Gong said again.

heard.

This time, Emperor Huiwen was completely stable in his heart, sitting on the dragon chair, patiently waiting for the arrival of noon.

…

in space.

Xiao Ran and Jian Twelve saw the situation of the palace revealed in the mirror in their eyes.

"Emperor Huiwen's courage is too small, right? He actually dispatched so many people this time." Xiao Ran sneered.

The Nether Guards and the Imperial Guards in the palace, including the strong eunuchs, set up a net of heaven and earth with the palace as the center. Whether it is in the sky or underground, there are their people.

Except for them.

Even the trump card army in the hands of Emperor Huiwen, the God-killer, was dispatched to guard the inner palace.

These god-killing men and horses, fully armed, only showing two eyes, wearing black armor, accompanied by a special torture knife, this knife is very sharp, sharp and tough, far exceeding three times that of ordinary weapons.

The most important point is to be able to withstand the spiritual power without being collapsed by the spiritual power, and the power is very huge.

Moreover, the conditions for being selected for the God Slaughter Guard are also very abnormal. Every member is a strong person, and they can enter it only after passing many tests.

But now it's better, it's just an inner palace, and nearly 500 god-killing guards have appeared. As for whether there are still hidden secrets, it is still unknown for the time being.

Before Jian Twelve could speak, Xiao Ran continued on the topic just now: "Remember the last time when Emperor Huiwen wanted to establish a prince?"

"Yeah." Jian Twelve nodded.

"You mean, he will announce the candidate of the crown prince today on his sixty-sixth birthday?"

"Be confident and remove the negation." Xiao Ran said.

"It's not announcing the candidate of the prince, but directly appointing the prince!"

Jian Twelve did not answer immediately, thinking seriously, the death of the princes, the imprisonment of the prisoners, even if they are still alive, their power has been secretly removed these days.

Emperor Huiwen was so shameless, he was obviously his own killer, but he threw the pot on Nether Prison, saying that it was done by people in Nether Prison.

Even if these princes don't believe it and want to investigate secretly, but there is no available power in their hands, they can only bear it, behave honestly, and dare not make any mistakes, for fear of attracting the suspicion of Emperor Huiwen.

The remaining eldest prince and other princes, although still alive, the power in their hands has not been weakened, but they are no longer a climate.

The situation in the capital was entirely in the hands of Emperor Huiwen.

If this time.

They dared to make changes and jumped out to veto his orders alive. Emperor Huiwen could imprison them in the ancestral mansion with just a single word, making it difficult for them to turn over for life, and they would stay in the ancestral mansion until they died.

Make it all clear.

"It's ruthless." Jian Twelve despised.

"We haven't been dealing with him for a day or two, and it's not like you don't know his ruthlessness." Xiao Ran shrugged.

Express the doubts in your heart.

"I'm curious now, who is Emperor Huiwen going to appoint as the crown prince? Among the remaining princes, the eldest prince seems to be the most powerful at present. The other princes are either too small or of average power, or keep a low profile."

"What do you want to do? It's almost noon, and it will only take a quarter of an hour. After waiting, he will naturally announce the candidate for the prince." Jian Twelve was very open.

"When he announces the candidate for the prince, that's when we start, I want to come! Emperor Huiwen will definitely be very satisfied with this great gift." Xiao Ran said with a smile.

The two looked at each other, touched the wine jar, and drank all the wine in the wine jar.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

While everyone is waiting, pass quickly.

Royal study.

Eunuch Wen reminded, "Your Majesty's time is up, we should pass."

"Yeah." Emperor Huiwen nodded.

Eunuch Wen called in the palace maids outside and asked them to change for Emperor Huiwen and put on dresses that would only be worn for sacrifice to heaven or for important events.

Dress well.

The small door behind opened, and a young man walked out from behind under the protection of four old eunuchs.

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, handsome in appearance, with the coercion of a king, wearing a bright yellow five-claw Jiaolong robe, wearing a golden hat, covering his face.

He stopped in front of Emperor Huiwen and saluted respectfully: "My son has seen the father and emperor!"

"Yeah." Emperor Huiwen nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at him, it was like seeing myself when I was young.

Patting his shoulder, "Have you been waiting for this day for a long time?"

"No!" The young man smiled and shook his head.

"For my son, the emperor's dragon's health is above everything else."

"You have been sensible and filial since you were a child, and you have never hidden or lied in front of me! I just showed a little love, and I almost hurt you. The white-haired person sent the black-haired person! Since then, over the years you have Living in the dark all the time, are you angry with your father?" Emperor Huiwen revealed his memories and told the past.

The young man's name was Zhou Jing, his mother was the empress, and he was very smart. He heard Emperor Huiwen say this, so he didn't call him the emperor again, and instead called out, "Father!"

Called by ordinary people.

heard.

The smile on Emperor Huiwen's face grew even brighter, this sound far surpassed all answers.

Excited, he patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder and said three good words in a row.

The smile faded, and it became serious and chilling. With a cold murderous look in his eyes, he looked out coldly. At this moment, he seemed to be back when he was young, domineering and fearless.

"Some stinky mice are very restless. With this opportunity, I will get rid of them all together! Take some pressure off you."

"Father..." Zhou Jing was moved.

Unable to help, he opened his arms and hugged Emperor Huiwen tightly in his arms.

Emperor Huiwen loves him very much, and he also likes Emperor Huiwen from the bottom of his heart. The relationship between father and son is very deep, far surpassing other princes.

"Don't act like a little daughter." Emperor Huiwen released him.

He stretched out his palm to tidy up the clothes at his neckline, put his messy hair in place, and retracted his palm.

He said solemnly: "Pull the drive!"

The temple door opened.

Emperor Huiwen walked out first, Zhou Jing followed closely behind him, Duke Wen and Taoist Chen Gong and others followed behind them.

The dragon was ready, and he got on the dragon, guarded by the god-killing guard and the ghost guard, and other strong guards secretly protected them, and walked towards the square.

square here.

Civil and military officials, nobles, celebrities, senior officials of the three major academies, and the powerhouses of the five major departments, including those with great reputation in the capital, have already arrived.

All dressed neatly and sitting on the cushions, in front of them there was a desk with various delicacies and royal wines placed on the table.

Except for them.

The people who traveled through the heavens in the Zhou Kingdom, as well as other people, were also invited.

In the headed position sit the prime ministers left and right.

"His Majesty is here!" A rooster's voice sounded.

Under the blessing of spiritual power, the sound spread to every corner of the square, and it was heard no matter where it was.

I saw that under the protection of the powerful guards such as God Killing Guard and Nether Guard, Emperor Huiwen's dragon came to this side. Seeing him coming, everyone Ji Ming stood up from the cushion.

"See Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted.

Longzhao stopped, and Eunuch Wen stepped forward, helped Emperor Huiwen down from above Longzhao, and walked towards the high platform in the middle.

Zhou Jing was one step behind and followed behind him.

Although he wore a golden hat to cover up his appearance, among the princes present, there were still some people who were familiar with him and recognized him by his appearance.

With deep disbelief in his eyes, he looked like he was alive, and his thoughts turned quickly: "Isn't the old fourteen (fourteenth brother) already dead? Why is he alive again?"

Some smart princes turned their heads faster. Through the current situation, Zhou Jing appeared at this time, and followed behind Emperor Huiwen, and came to an unbelievable answer.

There was a huge wave in my heart, "Does the emperor want to make him the crown prince?"

Think again.

Combining the matter of setting up a prince some time ago with the current situation, a more terrifying guess appeared, "Could it be that the father and the emperor were only setting up the prince a few days ago, and the purpose was to remove those disobedient or powerful princes. Drop it, pave the way, so that Zhou Jing can ascend?"

Continue to think about it, and think about the bigger picture.

"The princes who died, shouldn't the father secretly sent someone to kill them, and then found a crime and threw the pot on the nether prison?"

thought here.

These princes are all scared, and even the eyes looking at Emperor Huiwen are full of despair!

Afraid that he will become one of the dead princes next, even if Gouyan remains, he will be imprisoned in the ancestral mansion, and he will never see the sun for a lifetime.

Heart is not reconciled! They clenched their fists tightly, but if there was a chance, they would never compromise like this, and they would definitely take revenge at all costs!

If there is a chance, he will not hesitate to launch a mutiny, send Emperor Huiwen on his way, and then destroy the fourteenth prince Zhou Jing, and take the emperor's position.

Among them, the eldest prince is the most powerful!

The anger in his heart can burn the sky and boil the sea, but not only does he have no thoughts of revenge, but his body is cold from head to toe, thinking about how to save his life!

He was restless even when he was sitting, for fear that after today, he would be silently removed, and he would die without a place to be buried!

"No! I can't sit still, or I'll be the next one to die." The eldest prince thought urgently.

suddenly.

A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he thought of an idea to save his life. After Emperor Huiwen's sixty-sixth birthday, he would go to him and hand over all his power on the bright side.

Only keep the core strength, so that on the bright side, he has become a powerless prince, and then locks himself in the mansion, no matter what happens, he will never leave the mansion.

If there is a chance in the future, use the power of the secret to launch a mutiny and get rid of them all!

As for his power in the dark, can Emperor Huiwen find out that he is confident that what he is doing is very secret, and no one but him knows about it!

Figure out everything.

Only then did the heart of the first prince relax.

And this time.

Emperor Huiwen had brought Zhou Jing to the high platform~lightnovelpub.net~ Eunuch Wen respectfully stood behind them.

"Be flat!" said Emperor Huiwen.

Everyone returned to their positions again.

Emperor Huiwen opened his mouth, his voice was very loud, and it reached the ears of everyone present like thunder, "Today is my sixty-sixth birthday, and also my forty-sixth year of enthronement, I would like to announce one thing here. "

Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears, knowing that they were about to enter the theme.

Emperor Huiwen also stopped, his eyes fell on the fourteenth prince Zhou Jing, and he nodded at him.

The latter understood, and immediately took off the hat he was wearing, and handed it to Eunuch Wen, revealing his handsome face.

"Among the people present, there are many people who know the old fourteenth Zhoujing, and some people who don't. I will introduce again here. This is my son, the fourteenth prince, called Zhoujing." Emperor Huiwen pointed at him introduce.
