After the third prince handed over the patrol camp, the eldest prince controlled all the military forces in the area of ​​the imperial capital Mingzhou Prefecture. The two elite troops, the Yulin Guard and the patrol camp, had a total of 50,000 people, which was enough to surround the entire Mingzhou Prefecture.

Even if some troops stationed in other places belong to the old Saint Lord Zhou Zhengyu directly commanded or the deceased second prince, they could not relieve their near thirst. When they came back to help, the Yunwu County State would have changed a lot; not to mention, without the order of the Saint Lord, the troops stationed on the border would not return to the court, otherwise they would be punished for treason, and the crimes and the nine tribes. Now the Saint Lord is being confined and no information can be transmitted, so the troops stationed on the border will not be worried at all.

Soon, Zhou Shenghan passed the relevant order to Shi Wanjun, asking him to officially launch the palace-torn operation. At the same time, he secretly passed the order to a general of the Duanmu family who was responsible for protecting the palace, so that he could secretly supervise Shi Wanjun while cooperating with Shi Wanjun's actions. Once Shi Wanjun found out that Shi Wanjun had abnormalities, he would grant the right to act cheaply.

Zhou Shenghan is suspicious of life. Although he trusts Shi Wanjun more, he still keeps his hands and does not hand over all his strength to Shi Wanjun. Among the nearly 10,000 Yulin Guards guarding the palace, nearly two-thirds of the power was followed by Shi Wanjun's orders on the surface, but in fact he only followed Zhou Shenghan's direct orders.

After receiving the order, Shi Wanjun was shocked. He did not expect that the eldest prince Zhou Shenghan launched a palace-torn campaign so early without obtaining the imperial seal, and completely ignored the so-called father-son relationship, the friendship between the king and the minister, the way of loyalty and filial piety, and the orthodox throne.

Although he and Zhou Ruozhu had already responded to the plans and deployments of the eldest prince Zhou Shenghan, Zhou Shenghan launched a ban on the precautions, which caught them off guard. According to his and Zhou Ruozhu's plan, it will take at least three days for the army to be rescued or the forces of major sects to be in place.

Obviously, Zhou Shenghan must have received some kind of approval and promise.

He suddenly remembered the drunken words of a general Duanmu who was stationed in the palace with him: the eldest prince was seeking recognition from the Tianlan Kingdom. Even if there was no jade seal, the eldest prince could justify the position of the Holy Lord.

I see.

While Shi Wanjun led his direct troops to the Funing Hall where he lived on a daily basis, he completely took the sage from the Holy Lord Zhou Zhengyu; on the other hand, he secretly sent someone to contact the Ninth Princess Zhou Ruozhu to inform him of the situation that there were changes and his own arrangements.

If Zhou Shenghan had put the Holy Lord Zhou Zhengyu under house arrest in Funing Hall of his bedroom on the grounds of resting, he was still restrained and showed his kindness of father's kindness and filial son's filiality, and did not tear his face apart, then this time, he would have completely broken up.

The eldest prince entered Funing Hall again that night to meet his father, trying to persuade him, or forcing him to hand over the imperial seal. This was the last ultimatum.

Of course, Zhou Shenghan did not dare to come alone, but brought four high-level Jindan realm warriors from the Duanmu family to him. He needed to prevent the two secret guards around his father from being unfavorable to him.

"Father, you are old. After the cold white Gu is buried in your body, you can live for a few years. Why don't you automatically withdraw from the throne, hand over the imperial seal, and enjoy your old age?"

Although Zhou Zhengyu had long guessed that the cold white Gu on his body was designed by the boss Zhou Shenghan or the third Zhou Shengxiang, when he heard Zhou Shenghan say "cold white Gu" in person, he naturally understood that the person behind the scenes was the boss, and said angrily, "You are a rebellious son, who plotted against the father, killed brothers and sisters, assassinated ministers, disturbed state affairs, weakened the foundation of the country, usurped the throne, without the recognition of the jade seal of the country, how do you block the world's long mouth, how do you establish the image of a king of a country, and how do you inherit the thousand-year foundation of Yunwu County?"

"Father, the jade seal of the country is indeed important, but what if it is the edict of the Tianlan Kingdom enthronement? Should it be possible to replace the jade seal of the country to let me ascend the throne legitimately?" Zhou Shenghan was confident.

"You, you actually contacted the Tianlan Kingdom and gained their recognition." Zhou Zhengyu's whole spirit suddenly fell down.

Indeed, the edicts and enthrones of the Tianlan Kingdom can replace the imperial seal, especially when a county and state solve the problem of the throne inheritance by force.

Seeing the change of his father's expression, Zhou Shenghan felt secretly happy.

"Father, now the entire military and political power is in my hands. Why are you in a stalemate against me? Don't worry, Yunwu County and State will only be stronger in my hands, and will definitely be promoted to the first-class county and state in the future." Zhou Shenghan vowed.

Zhou Zhengyu, who had already crossed his momentum, said helplessly, "It is not impossible to give the imperial seal to you, but you must swear to God, treat your six younger brothers and a sister well, treat your elders well, and do your best to strengthen Yunwu County and the country, and safeguard the foundation of our ancestors."

"Of course, my six younger brothers and Xiao Jiumei are my fellow brothers, so I will naturally not treat them unfairly. As long as the ministers sincerely assist me, they need not distinguish whose power belongs to." Zhou Shenghan said falsely, completely forgot about the cruelty he had when he killed his second brother and his ministers.

Looking at the hypocritical eldest son, Zhou Zhengyu felt an indescribable disgust in his heart, but he had to endure the dissatisfaction in his heart, "Since that's the case, you go back first and fast for three days. Then I will personally teach you the jade seal."

Teaching the jade seal of the country is a very sacred and solemn thing. Fasting for three days is not an exaggeration. If it weren't for this kind of seal that forced the palace, it should be announced to the world and celebrated the whole world.

"However, I'm really too lazy to do anything, so the sealing ceremony will be arranged in my Funing Hall." Zhou Zhengyu glanced at his eldest son, with dissatisfaction and disgust hidden in his eyes.

The father and son each have their own plans.

It will take three days for Zhou Zhengyu to get Shi Wanjun's secret report. The layout plan between him and the Ninth Princess can be basically successful, so Zhou Zhengyu must be the small one.

Jiu fought for three days, and the reason was justified. After three days, he would no longer have to look at his eldest son's face.

The seal-giving ceremony was arranged in his own Funing Hall to make full use of the wind and rain formations in all directions in the palace. If he fell into Zhou Shenghan's hands, Zhou Shenghan could use the emperor to command the princes, whether it was Zhou Ruozhu, Shi Wanjun, or the court officials, sects and forces mobilized on the premise, and would be afraid of the enemy and unable to act as planned.

Zhou Shenghan was naturally worried that he would give seals publicly in the court. At that time, the monarch and ministers would unite and say something that would not be conducive to his inheritance of the throne, which would affect his orthodox image, and leave a disgrace in history books. Since the father took the initiative to propose, he would naturally be happy to be a favor. Moreover, after obtaining the imperial seal, whether it would be given seals in the court or to announce the world, it would not be up to him. At that time, another Fengshan ceremony was held, and a famous and respectful person from the royal family would be given seals on the grounds that his father was not well-off, which would also cause a sensation in the world.

What's more, Zhou Shenghan also needs time. According to estimates, in about two or three days, the little prince of Nangong Shi, the Tianlan Kingdom, will lead powerful men from first-class counties, including Canglong County, Youxia County, Heixu County, Aosheng County, and other first-class counties and other strong families to personally visit Yunwu County and build momentum for him.

Three days are very short.

During the three days, the always bustling Mingzhou Prefecture became much more lively than usual.

During these three days, Xuan Yuanhao was not idle either. He took advantage of the phantom of his soul to contact him in the center, welcome him and see him off, and felt the wonderful feeling of having support and having friends.

Five thousand top-grade weapons from Zangjian Villa have been delivered, and almost half of Zangjian Villa has been emptied. They are used to arm the 10,000 vanguard troops of General He Sidao who has arrived in advance and are hiding outside Mingzhou Prefecture; there are 20,000 troops on their way to Mingzhou Prefecture, and they will become the main force to break through the gates of Mingzhou Prefecture, the opponent's Yulin Guard and Patrol Battalion.

After learning that his eldest son was about to force the palace to usurp the throne, Zhou Zhengyu sent a secret order through secret means to order He Si to quickly serve the king. At the same time, he also sent a large number of foundation-building pills and various healing pills provided by the Alchemy Association and the Medicine King Valley.

The True Fire Valley was led by the leader Nan Tianhe, and led a group of disciples at the second level of fire control technique to mingle into the Yulin Guard. They were secretly arranged to serve around the Holy Lord Zhou Zhengyu Funing Hall, among which there were six powerful Jindans alone.

Yun Tianhao, the Ziyun Sect sect, really kept his promise and took action personally to lead some elders, deacons, and a total of six powerful people in the Golden Dan Realm to Mingzhou Prefecture, all of whom had the Golden Dan Realm cultivation level.

Daoxuan Sect was led by Lu Yongcang, the dean of the Zhengdao Academy, and the dean of the outer gate, Zhuang Qilang, and the sect leader's personal disciple Jiang Yiming, and hundreds of disciples came to Mingzhou Prefecture secretly, called "Handling", but in fact they rushed to support. Leng Rong, Ben Yong, Shangguan Ling'er and other friends of Xuan Yuanhao came to help.

Shi Wanjun used the technique of transplanting flowers and connecting trees to secretly insert these hundreds of Daoxuan Sect disciples into the Yulin Guard of his own direct line.

The He family where the second prince's mother is located is also connected. Originally, the He family was resentful of the second prince's death, but the eldest prince Zhou Shenghan controlled the government, and the He family did not have the strength to fight with him no matter what. Now that the Holy Lord spoke in person, the He family naturally went through fire and water, and it would be no longer too late to die.

There are also some veteran ministers who conquered the world with the Holy Lord Zhou Zhengyu, regardless of the court or retirement, and they were also mobilized. You should know that they are all well-off and have great achievements, and their sons and nephews are all over the military and political circles of Yunwu County.

However, all this was done secretly. Zhou Shenghan, who was busy receiving Tianlan's distinguished guests, obviously did not notice this undercurrent.

Nangong Shi from Tianlan Kingdom indeed arrived as promised, and the children of four first-class counties and states who came here also came.

With the promise of the Tianlan Kingdom and with these distinguished guests in charge, Zhou Shenghan was delighted and the rightful position of the second-class Golden County was like taking a look at the sacred lord.

Three days arrived as promised.

Zhou Shenghan not only came by himself, but also brought four high-level Jindan realm warriors who were close to protecting him, his own direct line and ministers who supported him, and even brought Nangong Shi, the idle little prince of the Tianlan Kingdom, and people from the four first-class counties and states to watch the ceremony.

In short, all the people are those who support the eldest prince Zhou Shenghan in inheriting the position of the Holy Lord.

"Father, this is the little prince of Nangong Shi of Tianlan Kingdom. These are the direct descendants of the wealthy families of Canglong County, Youxia County, Heixun County, and Aosheng County. They all come to congratulate Yunwu County on their promotion to the second-class Golden County, and also come to watch the ceremony for me to inherit the position of the Holy Lord of Yunwu County."

In front of everyone, Zhou Shenghan seemed very humble and respectful in front of his ex-Saint Lord who was about to abdicate.

"Little Prince Nangong, I wonder if you are here this time, representing you personally or the Kingdom of Tianlan? If you representing the Kingdom of Tianlan, I wonder if the edict to enthrone the child has been brought over? I am ready to bow to receive the order."

Zhou Zhengyu ignored his eldest son's high-sounding words and gave Nangong Shi a warning first. Nangong Shi had also come to Yunwu County to convey the news of Qingzhou's victory. He plundered a group of wealth, and even shamelessly asked to marry Xiaojiu as his concubine. Such a person who could not get up early without profit this time came to Yunwu County and this time, he didn't know how many benefits his eldest son had secretly promised.

What's more, it is hard to imagine that the kingdom of Tianlan was to issue a canonization edict to the prince who usurped the throne for the purpose of a newly promoted second-class county. Isn't this encouraging rebellion to be justified and revolution is not guilty?

Nangong Shi obviously didn't expect Zhou Zhengyu to ask such a question, but as the son of a idle prince without power, he could do it.

Now that we have to be windy and rainy, there are naturally some excellence. Nangong Shi said calmly, "Saint Lord Zhou, my coming this time represents not only myself, but also the Kingdom of Tianlan. As for the enthronement edict, Saint Lord Zhou doesn't have to worry. This time I came to congratulate him, and the edict will arrive later."

Obviously, Nangong Shi did not receive the so-called Tianlan Kingdom authorization. He just took a fancy to the huge rewards promised by Zhou Shenghan and attracted several first-class disciples from the county and country families to pretend to be in the store.

Nangong Shi has his own little plan. If the seal ceremony is successfully completed today, Zhou Shenghan will inherit the throne legitimately and will not use any edict to declare Zhou Shenghan's orthodox status. Just find a reason to make excuses for this abdicated old man.

The scheming Zhou Zhengyu obviously heard Nangong Shi’s implication. The eldest prince was rude to receive the promise and agreement of the Tianlan Kingdom, but it was just his self-deception and wishful thinking.

As for being able to win Nangong Shi over to help and "watch the ceremony", it is obviously a huge benefit that he promised, and he may even have plotted against his own sister.

"Shenghan, I was afraid that a villain would covet the imperial seal and put it in a hidden secret place outside the palace. I had already heard of it and asked them to send it to the palace within yesterday, but I didn't expect that those people were unreliable in doing things and had not been sent to the palace yet. What do you think? Let's invite all the guests to watch the sealing ceremony another day?"

Zhou Zhengyu fooled people and was also a master who didn't make drafts. By the way, Zhou Shenghan also scolded him - who is coveting the imperial seal? Of course, you are Zhou Shenghan whose conscience was eaten by a dog.

"You..." Zhou Shenghan held back the anger in his heart. If there weren't many VIPs present, he would have gone up and grabbed his father and asked: I, Ju Changjuxian, why are you so unwilling to let me inherit the throne?

"Father, your six sons and a precious daughter are now in the palm of my hand. Your so-called elders all rely on my breath to live, and their power to seize life and death are all in my hand. If you think clearly, what you do today is likely to determine their life and death. If you think clearly, you are replying to me."

Threat, a bare-hearted threat.

"Consider? No need to consider that among the nine princes and daughters, the first one who is least qualified to inherit the throne is you. You are plotting to murder the father, kill brothers and sisters, assassinate ministers, disrupt state affairs, weaken the foundation of the country, usurp the throne. Which of your actions meets the conditions for inheriting the throne? Nangong Xiao Prince, I think the Tianlan Kingdom doesn't know what the dog son did!" Zhou Shenghan was very determined. Just now, he had received a voice transmission from his spiritual sense. He Sidao's advance troops had arrived at the gate of Mingzhou Prefecture and were fighting fiercely with the Yulin Guard and the Patrol Battalion who were in charge of guarding. Before that, Xiaojiu and his righteous brother Xuan Yuanhao had handed over the protection forces of various sects to arrange them into the Funing Hall.

He never wanted to see his eldest son's face again.

Sure enough, a general from the Yulin Guard ran in panic and whispered a few words in Zhou Shenghan's ear. Zhou Shenghan's face suddenly became dark clouds, and it was about to rain.

Sure enough, my father made a move. The so-called three-day agreement was just a delay. However, I had as much power as 50,000. The Mingzhou Prefecture was already like a solid piece, and the He family army could not do anything to me.

"General Shi, my father is tired and started talking nonsense. Please greet my father."

At this moment, Zhou Zhengyu's two secret guards suddenly came out. Zhou Shenghan's four guards, who were also high-level Jindan realm, remained alert and met them. Everyone's eyes were naturally paying attention to the past, at most seven or eight breaths. When everyone turned around, they found that Zhou Zhengyu and Bao Runzhe, who were accompanying him, had actually disappeared magically, as if the world had evaporated.

A powerful Jindan realm expert from Canglong County understood the formation and immediately said, "Little Prince Nangong, they should have hidden their tracks with advanced formations just now, and took advantage of our distraction and escaped. However, from the analysis of the remaining spiritual power distribution, they should have gone to the depths of this palace."

Zhou Shenghan, who lost his face and lost his inner thoughts, was angry and embarrassed, "I made all the VIPs laugh. No matter what, I will fulfill all the promises I promised before, but if necessary, I would like to ask all the VIPs to keep the team. Not to mention Funing Palace, even the entire Mingzhou Prefecture is a piece of iron, and even a goshawk cannot fly out."

Soon, Shi Wanjun led more than 3,000 Yulin Guards to surround Zhou Zhengyu's Funing Hall layer by layer. The personnel distribution and stations were arranged in an orderly manner, as if arranged in advance.

Even though Dongfeng Po activated the storm of the eight directions, it firmly surrounded the Holy Lord's Funing Hall. The three thousand Yulin Guards who seemed to be sieging the Holy Lord's Funing Hall suddenly became the main force to protect the safety of the Holy Lord.

Zhou Shenghan was not wary of this change and suddenly felt aroused, "Shi Wanjun, I will take you well. You are born and have no family background. Now you can hold a firm position as deputy commander. Your status is only below me. Are you not grateful and even rebellious against me?"

Shi Wanjun didn't want to talk too much with Zhou Shenghan, but just asked coldly: "What's my surname?"

"Sir, my surname is Shi!"

"What is the surname of the Ninth Princess' mother?"

Zhou Shenghan thought for a while before saying, "It seems that his surname is Shi."

After a while, Zhou Shenghan suddenly realized, "You, are you the remaining power of Xiaojiu Mother's family?!"

Zhou Shenghan has only now discovered that his father had been around for a long time. He played a big game of chess when Xiaojiu passed away shortly after his mother passed away, and he was just a piece in the chess game of his father.
Chapter completed!
