Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 540 Four dragons seize the pearl
----

The Capital of Gods, the Forbidden Palace, and the Daming Palace are all brightly lit!

Prince Shang Yong sat on the main seat, and the ministers on the left and right were also seated. A famous armored soldier with a solemn expression wandered around the Daming Palace. They were all wearing armor and had their swords sheathed.

A tense atmosphere filled the Daming Palace. Not only the evil spirits on the soldiers, but also the important ministers in the Daming Palace showed nervousness.

"Our people sent a message from the palace, saying that our father is suddenly critically ill," the prince said with indescribable joy in his voice: "It's just that the current palace has completely blocked the news. It can be said that a needle can't penetrate and water can't be poured out. Tooru, we don’t know the reliability of this source.”

Several important officials could hear the joy in Prince Li's tone, Shang Yong had been the prince for ten years, and finally waited for the day when Yuji Tianxia finally came.In comparison, the royal father-son relationship seems so insignificant.

In a sense, the princes of the past dynasties were looking forward to and thinking about the emperor's early death. Otherwise, how could the prince legitimately inherit the throne and rule all over the world.

This is also the reason why emperors of all dynasties should not only support the prince, but also guard against the prince.As long as the emperor does not die, the prince can only be the prince and must not arrogate the slightest bit.

Of course, the fear and precautions against the prince are not unfounded. Among the princes of the past dynasties, there are many princes in some dynasties who do not want to wait until their fathers die naturally before taking over the throne from their fathers.

Instead, he brazenly raised an army to dethrone his father from the throne, and then took the throne by killing himself, enjoying the honor of the world in advance.

Although very few people succeeded in ascending to the throne through mutiny, there were indeed successful examples, which were enough to serve as warnings to emperors in the past.

"Whether this news is reliable or not, Your Highness the Crown Prince must prepare early. Your three brothers, Prince Kang, Prince Fu, and Prince Yong, are not good people. If they get the upper hand, it will really be a big deal."

A horse washer in the East Palace pondered for a moment, then quickly stood up to admonish Shang Yong. He didn't care whether Emperor Gengshi was really seriously ill.

I am afraid that the other three princes will get the news and take the lead in raising troops to take control of the court. That is what they have to guard against.Even if the East Palace can quell this dispute over the throne, it will seriously damage the vitality of the imperial court.

"Your Highness, the palace is only three hundred miles away from the capital of the gods, and my three thousand fish-scale guard cavalry will arrive very soon." Guo Hui, the general of the East Palace Guards on one side, heard this and said with a solemn expression.

This general of the East Palace has an iron-blooded evil aura, and there is a hint of coldness between his brows and brows. It is like a blade approaching, and the spirit of a martial arts master floats in the East Palace.

"In the imperial army of twelve guards, the left and right Yi guards, the left and right cavalry guards, the left and right martial guards, the left and right station guards, the left and right imperial guards, and the left and right auxiliary guards, there are people who belong to the East Palace. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince ascends high and gives a call, they will definitely follow. When we gather together, the general trend of the world can be determined at our fingertips.”

The eyes of the Crown Prince and Grand Master Zhang Guangdou flashed with a dangerous light, and he looked around at Zhou Za's important ministers. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and there was an indescribable coldness in his tone.

The Twelve Guards, the most elite and capable army of the Dachong court, all had subordinates from the Prince's East Palace. Even several generals among the Twelve Guards were deployed by the East Palace.

Once there is a real change, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Twelve Guards, but the mobilization of 10,000+ troops among them, the East Palace side is still very sure.

But this is a last resort. The real best policy is to prevent King Kang, King Fu, and King Yong from reacting and take the lead to control the chaotic situation. This is what everyone in the East Palace needs to consider.

"What do you mean?" Prince Shangyong looked at the ministers in the East Palace. Their faces were either depressed or excited. He put his palms on his knees, waiting for the ministers' final persuasion.

After all, it is unusual to raise troops, and one careless move will be labeled as rebellion, involving nine clans and three generations, not one family and one surname can be the master, without the help of these officials, Prince Shang Yong would be just a lonely family.

"I am willing to go forward for His Highness!" All the ministers stood up and bowed to the prince who was sitting on the throne, once again expressing their feelings. The eagerness in their eyes suddenly seemed to be real.

Regardless of whether the news that Emperor Gengshi was critically ill was true or false, the ministers in the East Palace were confident that they would put the prince on the throne. No matter who dared to stand in front of them, they would eat it.

After all, there was already enough gunpowder among the kings to compete for the throne, and only a little flame could detonate it, and the rumor that Emperor Gengshi was critically ill was the fuse that set off the battle among the kings.

These princes and princes will not pay attention to the authenticity of the news, nor will they choose to give in. They will only think about taking the lead, trying to take the lead step by step, and the collision of the kings will be close at hand.

"I wonder what you guys can teach me?"

Prince Shang Yong showed determination, and he had obviously made a decision long ago. Previously he was just testing the minds of the ministers in the East Palace, but now that he has the support of the ministers in the East Palace, he will no longer hesitate.

"His Royal Highness has mobilized troops to first seize the four gates of the divine capital, control the center of the divine capital, and block the flow of information inside and outside the city; then conquer the three kings Kang, Fu, and Yong, eradicate the gang members of the three kings, and remove the obstacles to the throne; and then conquer the emperor who has left the palace. Respect him as the emperor and pave the way for His Highness to ascend the throne.”

Wen Zong, the young master of the prince, took action and directly planned three steps to seize power for the prince Shang Yong. Each step was closely linked. It was obvious that he had planned it for a long time and was by no means a temporary thought.

"If you take the first step in these three steps, you will have room to protect yourself. If you take the second step, you will be invincible. If you take the third step, the general trend will be the trend. There is no reason why it cannot be achieved."

"Okay...Mr. Fu is really Gu's good teacher and friend. Just follow what Mr. Fu said, first conquer the city of God, then the three kings, and then the palace!" Prince Shang Yong's eyes were dim and full of excitement.

…………

At the same time, King Kang, King Fu, King Yong, etc. all made more or less moves. The Gengshi Emperor who left the palace was seriously ill, so these three princes saw the possibility of a fight.

King Kang and King Fu each have their own wings, and they also have large and small networks of contacts in the army. Therefore, the moment they heard the news, they started a layout that had been prepared for ten years.

In Prince Yong's palace, in the Buddhist hall in the backyard, Prince Yong was twirling the beads in his hands, facing the pure golden Buddha statue, reciting the Diamond Sutra, with a hint of Buddhist compassion in his eyebrows.

Although the battle between Dongyue Emperor and Baoguang Tathagata was in full swing, Prince Yong, who was an extension of Dongyue Emperor's consciousness, did not delay his behavior as a Buddhist disciple.

After all, it was this gesture that made the Buddhist Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen sects have a deeper and deeper impression on Prince Yong. The entire Buddhist sect knew that Prince Yong respected Buddhism and was a devout Buddhist in the world.

Just this little character design allowed Prince Yong to work hard for ten years!

Prince Yong is best at starting from small things and has always paid attention to details. It is said that details determine success or failure. Prince Yong deeply believes in this.

"My lord!"

Chen Pingzhi, the general of Zuowuwei, stood at the side of the Buddhist hall, quietly watching Prince Yong finish reciting the Diamond Sutra, and then said softly from the side: "The spies came to report that the prince, Prince Kang and Prince Fu have all taken action! "

"Any action?"

Prince Yong calmly rolled down his cuffs to cover the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist. The "compassion" in his brows disappeared in an instant, revealing his full majesty.

"Yes, the prince mobilized the left and right Yi guards. King Kang got the support of the left and right knight guards. King Fu also had the support of the left and right Hou guards. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital area were mobilized frequently."

Chen Pingzhi's face was calm as he explained the mobilization of the Twelve Guards Army in the capital one by one. Especially when he talked about the left and right cavalry guards, his tone gradually became a little heavier.

It's just that the left and right Houwei are paying off, but the left and right Xiaoqiwei and the left and right Yiwei are the most powerful soldiers in the world, and they are Dachong's weapon to suppress the world.If these powerful soldiers fail in this battle for the right to inherit the throne, it will definitely be detrimental to Dachong Guozuo.

However, even the princes and princes, knowing the consequences, would not give up the throne that was just around the corner.The Gengshi Emperor was able to personally kill his own grandson and force his own daughter to death for the sake of the throne, and several princes and princes were also willing to do whatever it took to get the throne.

After my death, no matter how great the flood is, several princes and princes all have such thoughts, so naturally no one wants to retreat.

This step of retreat is the gap between dust and the supreme. The royal people are the most 'self-centered'. Even if there are hundreds of millions of casualties in the world, it is not as valuable as one of their own hairs.

"In the army of twelve guards, except for the left and right garrison guards and the left and right imperial guards who are still in the hands of the emperor, the other eight guards have fallen into the control of our brothers. It seems that... a war is inevitable."

"However, in addition to the two guards, the prince's side also has tens of thousands of East Palace Guards. They have an advantage among our brothers in terms of military strength!" Prince Yong stood up slowly and said unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, if the Crown Prince wants to strike preemptively, he will definitely attack you, Prince Kang and Prince Fu. You must be on guard against this." Zhen Daoxue followed suit and spoke out to advise.

Prince Yong walked out of the Buddhist hall step by step and said calmly: "The prince takes action. He must control the four gates of Shendu, grasp the general trend of Shendu, and then control our three kings. In this way, the overall situation will be settled."

"However, I will not give him a chance. The prince has the upper hand, but it is not yet known who will win."

Prince Yong looked at the palace indifferently. At this time, Prince Yong's palace was like a precision machine, with all its parts rotating constantly. A number of servants from the palace came and went in a hurry, and dispersed nervously and orderly into the huge divine capital. among.

"After all, fighting for the throne...I am a professional!"

Within just a stick of incense, the huge Prince Yong's Mansion was empty, with only bright lights, seeming to mock the people coming to the door.
And just after the people in Prince Yong's palace were completely dispersed, in less than a cup of tea, a large number of black-clad soldiers poured out from the streets and alleys. The densely packed black-clad soldiers did not stop much, and they swarmed. Flooded into Prince Yong's Mansion.

"kill!"

Under the bright lights, the bright battles carried a chilling light. A black armored soldier with a name like a wolf or a tiger, after breaking into the palace, looked at the empty place with surprised expressions, like a haunted house. Prince Yong's Mansion.

…………

"here we go!!"

On a high platform not far from Prince Yong's Mansion, Prince Yong looked indifferently at the weapons swinging in the palace. He, dressed in military uniform, pressed the King Yong sword on his waist.

From the moment the news of Emperor Gengshi's critical illness came to him, several princes and princes who had been suppressed by Emperor Gengshi's dragon energy finally ushered in the moment of their own outbreak.

As the dragon closest to the real dragon, the prince, together with the three dragons King Kang, King Fu, and King Yong, must fall down. In order to achieve the final victory, the crown prince can bathe in the thunder of heaven and earth and transform into a real dragon.

Although this was the fate of several princes and princes as members of the royal family, it was also the result of the single-handed promotion of the current emperor.The Gengshi Emperor did not like the prince and often said that he was "not like himself", which was an important opportunity for the three kings to compete for the throne.

Dachong's national fate gradually became more and more turbulent in the competition for the crown prince, King Kang, King Fu, and King Yong. These little clues undoubtedly frightened many knowledgeable people.

The Great Chongshen City has become a maelstrom that swallows everything. Anyone who enters this maelstrom and can barely protect themselves is lucky. Except for a few people in the game, no one's life is much stronger than that of mugwort. .

Long!Long!Long!
A thundercloud shrouded the sky at some point, and heavy thunderclaps resounded over the sky above the capital of God. The thunder rolled in, and a depressive breath pressed against the heart, which really made people tremble with fear.

Prince Yong slowly closed his eyes, and there seemed to be waves of shouts of killing in his ears. The brutal shouts of killing came one after another, as if they were stopping in Prince Yong's ears.

"Your Majesty, this is a battle between the relatives of Prince Kang's residence and the crown prince's guards. The soldiers and horses of the two sides have officially begun to fight, causing the sound of howling and killing." Zhen Daoxue half-bent and whispered to Prince Yong's side. Said loudly.

Prince Yong stood quietly, looking at the sky above the divine capital. At this time, the prince, Prince Kang, Prince Fu, and Prince Yong all turned into the shape of dragons and were fighting fiercely.

Four dragons, one green, one white, one black, and one red, were constantly biting each other. Pieces of dragon blood turned into clouds and were constantly swallowed by the most powerful dragon.

During the fight between the four dragons, an old five-clawed golden dragon was crawling aside, watching the victory or defeat of the four dragons with cold eyes, waiting for the four dragons to finally decide the winner.

A little bit of faint golden Buddha's light gradually emerged in the fight between the four dragons. Each dragon had a little bit of Buddha's light "swastika" on its body. In the cruel fight, there was an inexplicable sense of compassion.

"Haha... Buddhism is really everywhere. It seems that those families don't have that much confidence in me!" Prince Yong smiled flatly, and his left hand holding the hilt of the sword became heavier unconsciously.

Just between the civilian houses on the left and right of this high platform, neatly arranged square formations of soldiers and armors were standing quietly in the corner. Their cold and hard faces were like marble sculptures, with extremely clear edges and corners.
