Chapter 387: Longing for Xiang Liu
Chapter 387: Longing for Xiang Liu
The news of Xiaoyao and Fenglong's engagement spread like wildfire in the Great Wilderness. Within a few days, Chen Rongyi led all the relatives of the Central Plains clan to the Zezhou Palace to jointly recommend Wang Sun Xuan as the crown prince of Xiyan, but was blocked by the king of Xiyan.
After reading the news, Yingliu and Xiangliu huddled together to discuss how to prepare a gift for Xuanxuan.
Because Yiying and Fangfengzheng fought too fiercely for power, the Fangfeng family fell apart.
Fangfeng Bei was considered the second branch of the family and was separated out. He was given some property according to the rules. Although he could still live in Fangfeng Mansion, he had to set up his own household.
Now the bigwigs of Fangfeng family are all concerned about Yingna. Fangfeng Zheng was defeated, and what he got was not as good as what was given to Fangfeng Bei, the bastard.
Therefore, as the second branch of the Fangfeng family that was separated, they had to give gifts themselves when encountering interpersonal relationships.
Yingliu was certain that Xuanxuan would ascend to the throne, so the couple began to think about what gift to give to the new emperor, to see if they could get some benefits for their daughter's status as a god.
Ever since the Central Plains clans jointly recommended Xuan, the Five Kings have been feeling uneasy. The timely praise from King Xiyan eased the worries of the Five Kings, and they decided to deal with Xuan after the dust settled.
In the first month of summer, almost at the full moon, King Xiyan went to the Purple Gold Summit and lived in the Purple Gold Palace to prepare for the full moon sacrifice.
In the secret room, Xuan's confidants knelt on the ground, begging him to seize this opportunity.
Although De Yan controlled the Zijin Peak, they were not only familiar with the secret passages and secret rooms of Chenrong Mountain, they also had 20,000 elite soldiers. They could advance to launch a surprise attack and win, or retreat to ensure the safe evacuation of Xuanxuan. It all depended on what Xuanxuan chose.
Chen Rongshan
Sunrise in the morning
The Zijin Palace was solemn and majestic. Both sides of the long corridor under the altar were filled with Xiyan officials and leaders of various clans. The envoy of Hao Ling, the chief of Chishui clan, the chief of Xiling clan, the chief of Tushan clan, and the envoy of Guifang clan stood at the front.
The Grand Master of the Clan announced the arrival of the auspicious time. Amid the long sound of the yellow bell, King Xiyan led the civil and military officials and clans of the world to first worship the heaven and earth, then worship Pangu, and finally worship Nuwa, Fuxi, and King Chenrong.
It was already past noon when the long and tedious worship ceremony ended.
King Xiyan stood on the high altar, overlooking the people below.
All living beings are in different states and have different thoughts.
The five kings had joyful looks on their faces and were full of anticipation, waiting happily for King Xiyan to announce that he would be the crown prince.
Xuanxuan showed no emotion, his face remained calm as he waited for his grandfather's final decision.
Fenglong looked calm on the outside, but he was extremely nervous in his heart, for Xuanxuan, for himself, and for his family.
Xiao Yao, who should have been sent away while falling asleep, was standing guard not far away in a soldier's robe. She slowly backed away, a glimmer of light flashed in her hand, and she caught the arrow that Bing Liu had sent not long ago, and her gaze moved from King Xiyan to the fifth king.
Although she was not good at archery, she was proficient in poison. This arrow was laced with a deadly poison, and coupled with its uniqueness, it would hit the target with one strike, and the five kings would die on the spot, with no chance of recovery.
King Xiyan spoke eloquently, reviewing the past and looking forward to the future. Finally, in front of the five kings’ wide-eyed eyes, he took off the crown on his head and placed it firmly on Xuan’s head.
This is not about enthroning a crown prince, but about succeeding the monarch.
They all knelt down as one.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty"
Xuanxuan spoke calmly
"All ministers are equal"
Does this young king really have great ambitions, a sharp mind, a broad mind, and vigorous energy as King Xiyan said? Can he really lead Xuanyuan Kingdom to create new history, new miracles, and new glory?
Feng Long had a pious look in his eyes and a respectful posture; he won the bet.
