Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

The news of Prince Xuan's great victory over the state government spread throughout Kyoto. Just as all those who chose Prince Xuan were elated and proud, and were ready to work together to teach Li Yuan a lesson, suddenly two more pieces of news came to Kyoto, like a basin of cold water that lasted ten thousand years. It was splashed from head to sole, and my heart was chilled.

Fang Wukui led an army to suddenly appear on the Qingzhou battlefield, and together with Uncle Taishi, led the imperial army to destroy the Yanzhou Alliance in one fell swoop, and captured Chu Junyan alive!

Yangzhou garrison general, thanks to the fifth gate, welcomes Meng Tian to enter the gate!

These two pieces of news shocked everyone, especially the first one. Did Fang Wukui appear in Qingzhou?

Also defeated the Yanzhou Alliance!

Could it be that the King of Chu knew that King Xuan could defeat the Zhenguo Mansion and sent Fang Wukui there!

Can King Xuan still survive?

Kyoto, which was originally bustling and impetuous, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone closed their mouths involuntarily, did not dare to speak easily, and stopped all movements.

His awe for Li Yuan increased in his heart.

But Li Yuan didn't care about the changes in the hearts of the families outside. Shangguan Wan'er had subdued the secret guards before leaving the capital. Now that he has two major organizations, the expert factory and the secret guards, he can spread the news about what he wants when he wants. News, the news he wants will spread in Kyoto anytime.

He wants to make Kyoto so chaotic that no one dares to act rashly and quietly wait for his rule to come!

"Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, is this beautiful sister in Tsing Yi the emperor's sister-in-law?"

In the imperial study room of the palace, the very cute and pink fifteenth princess sat in Li Yuan's arms, pointing her chubby finger at the quiet Ah Qing beside her and giggling.

"Hey, Shi Fifteen has grown up and knows how to help the emperor's brother find the emperor's wife.

Li Yuan smiled and teased the fifteenth princess's ears with his fingers.

When he and Ah Qing were on their way to the imperial study, the eleventh prince, the fifteenth princess and the seventeenth prince, the younger brothers and sisters of the emperor, received news from unknown sources. They were waiting for him to pass by outside the palace road, and directly intercepted the carriage to ask for gifts.

Li Yuan simply pulled them together to the imperial study room.

"Giggle, Brother Huang is itchy, Brother Huang is itchy."

The fifteenth princess was moving wildly in Li Yuan's arms. She had been most afraid of people scratching her ears with their fingers since she was a child.

Ah Qing's expression on the side did not change at all, but his bright and clear eyes showed a trace of distress.

This fifteenth princess is very popular. I wonder what gift to give her?

Ah Qing looked at the sapphire sword in his hand and thought:

How about giving Dabao to her to ride?

"Why, you two are separated after seeing the emperor brother. Do you miss the emperor brother?" Li Yuan looked at the princes and princesses beside him who were hesitant to speak and said with a smile.

"think!"

After all the princes and princesses spoke together, they showed happy smiles.

Their Fifth Emperor Brother is still the same Fifth Emperor Brother from before.

"Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, I heard that you went to a brothel to steal an oiran before. Is it true?"

The eleventh prince on the side tugged on Li Yuan's clothes. After eliminating the barrier in a short period of time, he naturally approached Li Yuan, eyes wide open and full of curiosity.

Li Yuan's forehead darkened when he heard the eleventh prince's words.

What are these words? Which brother's first sentence after meeting his long-lost brother is to ask this kind of question.

Even if you ask me what gifts I brought.

"Yes, yes, brother, I heard from the people in the palace that you robbed the oiran and you didn't have to pay for it, but the oiran even gave you money." The twelfth prince looked at Li Yuan with admiration.

The fourteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth young princes also looked at Li Yuan curiously, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Oiran!

I also want to give money to the royal brother!

Brother Huang is really awesome!

Because of the influence of the four kings in the past, every incident can shock Kyoto. The eunuchs and maids in the palace do not know the specific situation of the four kings, and they cannot talk about the distribution of power. Who wins and who loses? Some tidbits of news happened to be heard by these princes.

"Who did you listen to? How could your emperor brother and I go to such a place? Where did you hear the rumors? This is simply slandering the noble personality of the emperor brother."

Li Yuan's face was filled with black lines. Why aren't these two emperor brothers cute now? It's been a long time since they last met. Shouldn't the first sentence he said be concerned about the emperor brother's health and how are they doing?

How can you ask such a messy question?

The fifteenth princess on the side asked like a curious baby: "Brother, what is an oiran?"

Other young princesses also came over and asked curiously:

"Yes, Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, why do you want to rob the oiran?"

"Brother, brother, can the oiran eat it?"

"Brother, brother, what kind of flower is an oiran? Why can it give you money?"

"Brother, brother, what is a brothel? Are you buying flowers?"

"Brother Huang doesn't know either. I can't understand what the two of them are talking about. They are talking about courtesans and brothels. Brother Huang has never been to one." Li Yuan quickly shook his head and quickly stopped these children from talking about this topic. Children should not know Don't know.

"That's not right, Brother Emperor, I heard them say that when you were in Lingzhou fiefdom, why did you hide your identity to grab..."

Li Yuan, with quick eyes and quick hands, pinched the eleventh prince's mouth, interrupted him very "kindly", and said with a smile:

"Brother Eleven, how have you been doing with your homework recently? Brother Huang hasn't tested you for a long time."

Li Yuan looked at the eleventh prince with kindness and kindness. The joy of seeing the naughty younger brothers again had disappeared. At this moment, his heart was filled with care for them.

His father is no longer here, and he wants to train these younger brothers to become talents and become the pillars of the imperial court.

The Eleventh Prince's originally excited face quickly fell down, and he hesitated:

"Huh? Homework? This..., eh..."

The Twelve Princes on the side immediately took a few steps back and hid out of sight of Li Yuan.

The other princes and princesses also lowered their heads and glanced everywhere.

Even the fifteenth princess, who had always been lively and active, became very quiet and lay in Li Yuan's arms. She closed her eyes tightly and said silently in her heart:

Brother Huang can’t see himself, Brother Huang can’t see himself!

Don't ask me about my homework, don't ask me about my homework.

Li Yuan looked at the expressions of these princes and princesses and immediately understood how their homework was going.

So Li Yuan didn't speak, and just looked at them quietly.

When these princes and princesses faced Li Yuan's "terrifying" eyes, their heads became lower and lower, and their waists almost bowed.

Ah Qing on the side couldn't help laughing as he saw each of the children about to lie on the ground.

At this moment, Liu Jin from outside the palace reported:

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Princess would like to see you."

Li Yuan's eyes moved slightly and he responded:

"Let them in."

Soon, four rapid footsteps sounded.

Especially Li Ce, he had just learned that the eleven and twelve princes and princesses had the audacity to intercept the emperor's brother and ask for gifts at this time.

The emperor brother has just entered the capital and has many important things to deal with. They are afraid that they will make the emperor brother angry at this time.

If the emperor's brother thought that they were preventing the emperor's brother from entering the palace, it would be over.

"Greetings to the Emperor!"

As soon as Li Ce, Li Hui, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Princess entered the Imperial Study Room, they bowed and saluted very respectfully.

Li Yuan looked at the four people without getting up. He pointed at the chairs arranged casually and said:

"Why are you guys here? Brother Huang has been waiting for you for a long time. Find a place to sit by yourself."

"Thank you, my dear brother!"

Li Ce felt relieved when he heard Li Yuan's casual tone.

When the four of them looked up at Li Yuan and looked at them with a friendly smile, the four of them couldn't help but smile.

But when they saw all the princes and princesses bending over and almost touching their heads to the ground, their faces froze and their hearts tightened.

Brother Huang is angry?

"Okay, you guys, raise your heads and start doing your homework seriously tomorrow. Brother Huang will check you at any time!"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, the faces of the eleventh and twelfth princes fell, and the little princesses like the thirteenth and fifteenth princesses had their mouths deflated and their eyes were about to cry.

It turned out to be because of homework.

Li Ce and the other four suddenly understood, and their steps towards the chairs became more relaxed.

After Liu Jin had tea, all the princes who were close to Li Yuan quickly became active again, chattering.

"Brother Seven, Sister Ten, why didn't you come earlier?"

The fifteenth princess looked at Li Ce and the others and complained, if the seventh brother and the others had come earlier, the fifth brother would not have asked them about their homework.

Li Ce glanced at Li Yuan carefully, then looked at them and cursed angrily:

"You still have the nerve to say that the emperor is so busy now that we don't dare to disturb him. You are too ignorant. Fortunately, the emperor is not angry."

The fifteenth princess was scolded by Li Ce and suddenly felt aggrieved and said:

"How could the emperor be angry with us? We were having a very happy chat just now."

"Yes, yes, we just talked about the emperor's brother robbing some oiran, and the oiran gave money to the emperor's brother!"

"puff!"

Li Hui, who was drinking tea at the side, spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Ahem!"

……………………

In the early morning, it was the most peaceful time. A bell broke the tranquility. Many people who had not slept all night focused their eyes in the direction of the palace.

Morning began.

The next morning, the faint morning light shone on the golden glazed tiled double-eaves roof, which looked particularly brilliant.

At this moment, in the main hall, all the civil and military officials were already in place, with their heads lowered one by one. No one whispered to each other. The main hall was silent. The dragon chair above the high hall was empty, and they were preparing to welcome the new owner.

"Tap!" "Tap!" "Tap!"

The sound of loud footsteps came from far away, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more than ten times more solemn. Everyone even became cautious when breathing.

King Luo walked into the hall with a solemn face.

Behind him, Liu Jin respectfully held the imperial seal and the imperial edict to follow.

King Luo stood at the front facing everyone, took out the imperial edict from Liu Jin's hand, straightened his body, and his calm voice sounded throughout the hall. A royal majesty was revealed, causing hundreds of officials below to bow down and salute, a sense of solemnity The solemn meaning is revealed.

"The late emperor once decreed that if the four princes were fighting abroad, any prince who would quell the rebellion in the various states and return to the capital would be the head of the Yu Dynasty!"

"Now the king of Chu is wise and powerful, and has great talents and strategies. He has pacified the rebellions in Lingzhou, Huanzhou, Fengzhou, Yizhou, Lianzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, and Qingzhou. His achievements are unparalleled in the world. He is now the head of the Dynasty of Dayu and rules the world. !”

Every time the civil and military officials heard that Li Yuan had won a state, their breathing became heavier.

As King Luo's last voice fell, Li Yuan had arrived outside the Jinluan Palace. At this moment, a trace of space came out vertically and horizontally, splitting the entire thick cloud layer into two, and the golden sunlight spread down from the sky, falling accurately below. Li Yuan's majestic and heroic figure appeared.

In the main hall, all the civil and military officials were already kneeling aside, waiting quietly for Li Yuan to enter.

Li Yuan stood in the middle of the hall, quietly looking at the dragon chair at the top that symbolized the highest power of the Yu Dynasty. He imagined what the scene would be like when he stood here.

Excited, happy, crying with joy, contented, happy after suffering, all the scenes in my mind have turned into nothingness.

At this moment, Li Yuan seemed to have no waves in the lake. He was very calm and not as excited as he imagined.

Li Yuan followed the direction of the sunlight, his expression was neither anxious nor impetuous, his posture was upright, and he stepped into the Jinluan Palace step by step. With hundreds of civil and military officials kneeling in worship, he stepped onto the jade steps step by step.

Ah Qing, looking at Li Yuan's advancing back, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, followed Li Yuan step by step, his black hair fluttering, exuding a faint fragrance.

All the civil and military officials knelt quietly, no one dared to raise their head.

When he reached the top, looking at the empty dragon chair, Li Yuan was in a trance for a moment, and vaguely saw the figure of Emperor Yu sitting on the dragon chair.

It seemed that he was back to the original starting point, when Chu Junyan was about to enter the capital, the Zhenguo Mansion was selecting a prince, and he was summoned by Emperor Yu.

It was also at that moment that his summoning roulette awakened.

The gears of destiny begin to turn!

Li Yuan had many thoughts on his mind. What he said to Emperor Yu at the beginning: "I want to live a happy life" was not a joke.

Without the summoning roulette, how could he have embarked on such a path? Without the summoning roulette, he should be able to be a happy little prince in the future.

Of course, it is also possible that he died in the fief.

Life may be so unpredictable.

"Sometimes people are really hypocritical!"

Li Yuan suddenly laughed at himself, strode towards the dragon chair, and sat down without any hesitation!

Boom!

There was no sign in the entire Jinluan Palace. The ground shook and the mountains shook. In an instant, a majestic and terrifying power that eclipsed the heaven and earth suddenly burst out from the dragon chair where Li Yuan sat down like a flash flood.

Boom, the ground soon shook, and a majestic aura, majestic and noble, suddenly burst out from the Jinluan Palace like a flood, covering the entire Dayu Palace in an instant, and flowing towards the outside of the palace!

The powerful aura that reigns supreme over all things in the world instantly appears in the perception of everyone in Kyoto.

In front of this majestic and noble aura, everyone is as insignificant as an ant. Even the peak Dharma Master Realm becomes dim and colorless in front of this huge aura, just like a firefly to a bright moon. .

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The entire Jinluan Palace, where all the civil and military ministers knelt down and worshiped, shouted in unison.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the imperial guards outside the palace knelt down one after another, and a loud shout spread directly outside the palace and even to the entire Kyoto.

All the forces and people in Kyoto looked in the direction of the palace with awe in their eyes and bowed in salute. (End of chapter)
