Chapter 27
Under the city wall of the imperial capital, the eight great vassal kings joined forces, headed by King Qin Su Chenggui.
Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the entire imperial capital, only allowed to enter but not to exit.
The morale outside the city is like a rainbow, but inside the city is chaotic.
Not only are many people trying to escape from the city, but also some wealthy families secretly sent envoys to secretly contact the feudal lords outside the city, planning to conquer the dragon.
Especially the three aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years have the idea of taking the opportunity to change the dynasty and support the puppet.
Among the aristocratic families, there is a saying that a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old aristocratic family will change dynasties, but the aristocratic family can last forever.
The reason for this is that no matter who is the emperor, the support of the family is indispensable.
It can be said that at least half of the civil and military officials in the court come from aristocratic families.
Even if the dynasty changes, they only need to change their official robes to continue to hold power.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that almost every emperor will try his best to weaken the family. When Emperor Chengwu was in power, there was no exception.
It's a pity that the influence of the three great families in the court is deeply ingrained, and it is almost impossible to completely eliminate it. In addition, although the force of the three great families is not comparable to that of the royal family, the Su family, they are not weak either. It's not even as simple as it seems on the surface.
I'm afraid that even if Emperor Chengwu could break through to the Xiantian realm during his lifetime, he might not be able to completely solve the three great families.
As for these aristocratic families, Su Yu didn't care much. After Xiao Jiu became the throne, if these aristocratic families were honest, he didn't bother to care about them. If they dared to reach out, he would uproot them.
"Your Highness, everything has been prepared, and all civil and military officials have been invited to the city wall by this old slave."
At this time, Liu Zhong came to Fengtian Hall and said to Su Yu.
"Uncle Zhong, from now on, you will stay by Xiao Jiu's side every step of the way."
Su Yu nodded slightly, and said: "After Xiaojiu ascended the throne, those people I asked you to train will all serve as her eyes and ears and minions. I will let Xiaojiu set up a separate department for you, the imperial power franchise, called Dong factory."
Xiao Jiu is assisted by Dongchang under the leadership of Zhongbo, which will definitely save him a lot of trouble.
He will try his best to help Uncle Zhong improve his strength, and when the remaining four sign-in places in the palace have no Dao Yun, he can go outside to find a new sign-in place with peace of mind.
"Your Highness, what do you do then?"
Liu Zhong asked quickly.
"Uncle Zhong, do you think that with my strength, do I still need someone to protect me?"
Su Yu smiled and said.
"His Highness's strength?"
Liu Zhong couldn't help being a little confused when he heard the words, His Highness is just an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken, how can he have any strength?
"Uncle Zhong, didn't you already know last time?"
Su Yu looked at Liu Zhong in surprise. Judging from Uncle Zhong's reaction, he clearly didn't know that he was the mysterious strong man.
"The old slave knows?"
Liu Zhong was even more confused, what do I know?
"Uncle Zhong, the Demon Suppressing Tower was destroyed, and the demon saint sealed inside was also killed. You should know about this, right?"
Su Yu asked Liu Zhong.
"Such a big event, the old slave naturally knows, it is said that it is the mysterious strong man who made the move."
Liu Zhong nodded, and said with anticipation in his eyes: "I don't know if this old slave will be lucky enough to meet that senior in the future."
"You don't have to wait until later, you can see him now."
Su Yu said with a smile.
"Could it be that His Highness knows where that senior is?"
Liu Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and asked.
In fact, he also searched for the trace of that senior in the palace several times, but found nothing.
"He's right in front of your eyes."
Su Yu said.
"In front of the old slave?"
Liu Zhong was slightly stunned, and quickly looked around, but found no one.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he looked at Su Yu with disbelief, and exclaimed, "Could it be that His Highness is that mysterious strong man?"
How can this be?
That mysterious strong man is a human martial saint who can kill demon saints with a single blow!
Your Highness is not good enough this year, how can he become a Martial Saint?
It's not that Liu Zhong doesn't want to believe Su Yu, but it's just too unbelievable.
Su Yu smiled without saying a word, and suddenly an extremely terrifying aura bloomed from his body.
Although this aura was restrained by him in an instant, it still almost crushed Liu Zhong to the ground.
"It's a Martial Saint, Your Highness is really a Martial Saint!"
After a brief shock, Liu Zhong couldn't help cheering excitedly.
The aura released by His Highness just now is too powerful. Even with his current level Innate Realm cultivation base, he is still powerless to resist. His Highness must be the mysterious strong man who killed the demon saint with a single blow.
"That's great. Your Highness has not only grown into an adult, but has also become a martial saint in the world. If there are a few more young His Highnesses, if the Empress Concubine Hua knows about it, she will surely be able to smile!"
Liu Zhong wept with joy.
Su Yu: ...
Uncle Zhong, can't you skip the trouble of giving birth to a few young highnesses?
"Uncle Zhong, I will trouble you for Xiaojiu's future safety."
Su Yu said to Liu Zhong.
"Your Highness, don't worry, as long as the old slave is around, nothing will happen to the Ninth Princess."
Liu Zhong said firmly.
Since His Highness doesn't need his protection anymore, he will protect the Ninth Princess so that His Highness has no worries.
……
"Strengthen inspections and never allow rebel spies to sneak in."
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, the time has come for you to be loyal to the emperor."
On the city wall, a general was lecturing his subordinates.
And not far away, stood the ministers of civil and military affairs.
"Do you think His Royal Highness will come?"
"I'm afraid our useless prince has escaped from the palace overnight."
"The prince has misled the country!"
The ministers whispered while shaking their heads and sighing.
Seeing the black mass of rebels under the city wall, everyone felt chilled.
Fortunately, even if the vassal king succeeds in seizing the throne, the Great Zhou will still be the Great Zhou, the royal family will still be the Su family, and they will still be the pillars of the court.
Therefore, if it really doesn't work, they can only open the city gates and welcome the Eight Great Feudal Kings into the city. Anyway, that cowardly prince has no plans to ascend the throne.
As for making the Ninth Princess the Queen of the Great Zhou, they would only agree if they were crazy.
At this time, in the city, it can be said that rumors are flying everywhere.
Whether it was intentional or not, the rumor that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was controlled by evil spirits, and that was why the Ninth Princess was enthroned as empress, quickly spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
The eight vassals did not rebel, but punished evil spirits and restored the world to a bright future.
Many people believed that His Highness the Crown Prince was really controlled by evil spirits, otherwise, why would he refuse to ascend the throne, and why did he let the nine princesses be the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
For a while, the voice of opening the city gate to welcome the vassal king became louder and louder.
Countless people even flocked to the streets, ready to welcome the new king.
At this moment, Su Yu came out of Fengtian Hall.
