Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 157
Chapter 156: Pengcheng Changes the Sky
On the night of July [-]th, Pengcheng had a sleepless night, and the screams of killing shook the whole Pengcheng.

In the King City of Chu, there were corpses everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers. After the brothers of the Long family occupied the King City, they immediately sent people to clean it up, and at the same time let people bring Marquis Langya into the palace.

In the bedroom of the King of Chu, Langyahou walked in slowly under the protection of the guards. Seeing this, Long Chuan and Long Ao came to Langyahou and saluted: "I will pay my respects to Langyahou."

Langyahou Xiang Guang, the third son of the first king of Chu, is 33 years old this year.

Xiang Guang smiled, helped Long Chuan and Long Ao up, and said: "You two generals don't need to be polite. Without the help of these two generals, I wouldn't be able to reach this place."

Long Chuan smiled and said: "Master Hou is laughing, Xiang Kuang is incompetent, Fan Shen is in trouble, and the ministers and ministers have to do this righteous act for the sake of the great Chu, Jiangshan and the community. Abolish Xiang Kuang and support Hou Ye Wang, I hope that Lord Hou can work hard to rule and rejuvenate the Great Chu in the future."

Xiang Guang nodded and said: "General, don't worry, I will do my best to rejuvenate the Great Chu. By the way, where are Xiang Kuang and Fan Can?"

Brothers Long Chuan and Long Ao looked at each other, a little embarrassed, although they captured Wangcheng and killed Fan Shen, but they failed to capture Xiang Kuang, which was really unsatisfactory.

Long Ao said: "Master Hou, Fan Shen has already shown his head to the public, but Xiang Kuang escaped from the royal city under the protection of Tao Lin, the commander of the old guard army, but please rest assured, Lord Hou, we have sealed off the entire Pengcheng, and they escaped. It won't fall."

When Xiang Guang heard that Xiang Kuang was not caught, his face immediately turned ugly. Xiang Kuang was the heir designated by the former king of Chu. After all, the whole Pengcheng, including his own life, is in the hands of the Long family brothers.

Xiang Guang smiled and said: "It's okay, there are two generals here, and I am very relieved. By the way, General, I don't know when the enthronement ceremony will be held?" Now Xiang Guang is very concerned about when he will be able to ascend the throne. He has come to this point, if he does not sit in that position for a day, he will not be stable for a day.

Long Chuan thought for a while, and said: "The sooner the better, of course, tomorrow morning, we will gather a group of ministers to crown the king, but now that Fan Can is dead and the phase is vacant, I don't know if there is someone in the Marquis?" select."

"Then I don't know what recommendation General Long has?" Of course, Xiang Guang is not stupid enough to arrange people by himself. After all, the power is now in the hands of the Long family brothers. okay.

Long Chuan said: "Master Hou, I think Situ Chen Ding is the most suitable replacement. The Chen family is the head of the Pengcheng family. If you can get the help of the Chen family, it will be of great benefit to Master Hou to secure the throne."

Xiang Guang nodded. Chen Ding was resourceful, and he had a huge Pengcheng family behind him. With his help, he might be able to compete with the Long family brothers.

The next day at the court meeting, all the civil and military officials of Chu State walked into the royal city with blank faces. Although they didn't fully understand the whole process of what happened last night, they probably guessed it. Coupled with the strong smell of blood in the royal city, they have already It can be guessed that there must have been a fierce fight in this place last night, but it is not known who will win.

When everyone entered the main hall, they saw Langya Hou Xiang Guang sitting on the throne, while Long Chuan and Long Ao were lined up on both sides like the left and right door gods.

After all the ministers arrived, Long Chuan said loudly: "Xiang Kuang is incompetent, he has failed the previous king, Prime Minister Fan Shen, who is ambitious, intends to control Xiang Kuang and overthrow the court. This general can't bear to destroy the foundation of Xiang's family, so he raised volunteers to expel him." Hunjun, punish and kill traitors, now the overall situation has been decided, Marquis Langya is wise and decisive, comparable to the ancient sages, this general intends to support Marquis Langya as king, what do you think?"

That's all for the sake of it, if these ministers still don't understand, they are really fools. Obviously, last night Lang Yahou and the brothers of the Long family launched a mutiny, expelled Xiang Kuang, and executed Fan Shen.

"Bold Longchuan, the former king has favored you so much, you actually conspired to rebel and usurp the throne. You are actually the most rebellious minister and villain in ancient and modern times, and you will be cast aside by all people. Hou Langya, I advise you to rein in the precipice and return from the wrong way. It’s better to draw a clear line between the thieves, and don’t make mistakes.” Da Honglu Tao Shao directly angrily reprimanded Long Chuan, saying that he was a traitor and a traitor, and advised Xiang Guang to let him know his way back.

Xiang Guang and Long Chuan's faces darkened instantly, and Long Chuan said angrily: "Tao Shao, your son Tao Lin is a traitor and confidant, there must be some secrets between you and Fan Can, come and take Tao Lin Shao dragged out!"

Soon, two soldiers entered the palace and dragged Tao Shao out, while Tao Shao was still calling out for traitors and traitors.

Without Tao Shao, Long Chuan showed a smile like a spring breeze again, and said to everyone: "I don't know what you think?"

After Fan Shen's death, Situ Chen Ding stood at the top of civil servants. Chen Ding came out and said, "What General Long said is true. This Situ is willing to support Langyahou as king."

Chen Ding thought it through very clearly. Now that Long Chuan has controlled the entire Pengcheng, there are Long Chuan's troops inside and outside Pengcheng. If he opposes him, he may have to follow in the footsteps of Tao Shao. What's more, Chen Ding's entire family They are all in Pengcheng, he has to think about his family.

Seeing Chen Ding's statement, Long Chuan nodded in satisfaction, and said in his heart: Chen Ding is still a very good man, it's not in vain for my general to elect him as prime minister last night.

"I'll wait for a second opinion!" Everyone saw that the Chen family, the head of the family, was willing to support Xiang Guang, so what could they have any objection.

Long Chuan saw that there were no more discordant voices, so he turned directly to Xiang Guang, knelt down and said, "I, Long Chuan, pay homage to the King!"

"I will pay my respects to the king!" All the ministers followed suit.

Xiang Guang smiled, he had finally ascended to the coveted throne.

After ascending the throne, Xiang Guang now conferred the title of Grand Master, Grand General, Marquis of Guangling, Governor of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and overview of the government affairs. Longchuan handles the government affairs, and at the same time, he orders guards from all over the country to go to Beijing to report on his duties. He also orders the whole country to arrest Wang Xiangkuang, search the entire family of Fan Can, Tao Shao, and Tao Lin, and confiscate their property.

When Xiang Guang ascended the throne, there was an uproar and discussions all over Chu State.

On the other hand, under the protection of Tao Lin, Xiang Kuang escaped from Pengcheng through a secret road, went all the way south, hid in Tibet, and finally came to Zhang Di's military camp.

After seeing Zhang Di, Xiang Kuang wept bitterly and accused the Long family brothers of their crimes.

Zhang Di looked at Xiang Kuang, who was crying like pear blossoms and rain, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the brothers of the Long family would be so rebellious and dare to do the thing of seeking to usurp the throne. Don't worry, your majesty, I must be at odds with him."

Zhang Di's words warmed Xiang Kuang's heart, so he held Zhang Di's hand with tears in his eyes, and said, "Fan Xiang did not misunderstand the person, General Zhang is really a loyal minister."

At this time, Zhang Di's deputy came in and reported that there was an envoy from Pengcheng. Zhang Di comforted Xiang Kuang and then went out to meet the envoy. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Di to go back to Pengcheng to report on his duties and read out the edict. As a result, Zhang Di snatched the edict with one hand, tore it up on the spot, and beheaded the envoy.

This scene was seen by Xiang Kuang and Tao Lin who were hiding behind, and they were really relieved.

Zhang Di returned to the tent, and said to Xiang Kuang: "Your Majesty, the envoy sent by Longchuan has already been beheaded. I wonder what your Majesty will do next?"

Xiang Kuang looked at Zhang Di gratefully, and then said: "Fan Xiang said that as long as the widow arrives at General Zhang's barracks, he can issue an order to raise troops to serve the king."

Hearing this, Zhang Di thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it is certain to raise troops to serve the King, but the soldiers and horses in the hands of the ministers alone are not enough to compete with the brothers of the Long family."

"Ah, what should I do?" Xiang Kuang panicked. He thought that if he found Zhang Di, he could defeat Long Chuan and regain the throne, but who would have thought that Zhang Di would not be Long Chuan's opponent.

Zhang Di thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. General Yu Zilong of Langya, General Zongyuan of Taishan, and General Chen Feng of Guangling have very good personal relationships with his subjects, and they are loyal to His Majesty. As long as His Majesty orders them to raise troops to serve the King, they will definitely Will respond."

Xiang Kuang nodded when he heard this, and immediately wrote down several edicts for Zhang Di to send to various places.
