: Pengcheng changes the sky

On the evening of July 15th, Pengcheng was sleepless all night, and the shouts of killing soaring into the sky shocked the entire Pengcheng.

In the Chu royal city, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into a river. After the Long brothers occupied the royal city, they immediately sent someone to clean it up and asked someone to connect the Marquis of Langya to the palace.

In the palace of the King of Chu, Langya Hou walked in slowly under the protection of the guards. Seeing this, Longchuan and Long Ao came to Langya Hou and saluted: "I will pay homage to Langya Hou."

Xiang Guang, the Marquis of Langya, was the third son of the King of Chu, and was 33 years old this year.

Xiang Guang smiled, helped Longchuan and Long Ao up, and said, "The two generals don't need to be polite. If the two generals don't help me, I will not be able to get to this place."

Longchuan smiled and said, "When the Hou was laughing, Xiang Kuang was incompetent, Fan Shen was in trouble, and the court was in trouble. For the sake of the great Chu country and the country, my brothers and I had to do this righteous act, abolish Xiang Kuang, and support the Hou as the king. I hope that the Hou will work hard to govern the country in the future and revive the Great Chu."

Xiang Guang nodded and said, "Don't worry, General, I will do my best to revive Da Chu. By the way, I wonder where Xiang Kuang and Fan Chan are?"

Longchuan and Long Ao brothers looked at each other, a little embarrassed. Although they took the royal city and killed Fan Shen, they did not catch Xiang Kuang, which was really unsatisfactory.

Long Ao said: "Marty, Fan Chan has already been beheaded, but Xiang Kuang escaped from the royal city under the protection of Tao Lin, the commander of the Suwei Army. But please rest assured that we have blocked the entire Pengcheng and they cannot escape."

When Xiang Guang heard that Xiang Kuang was not caught, his face suddenly turned ugly. Xiang Kuang was the heir designated by the King of Chu. As long as he lived for one day, his throne would not be stable. However, Xiang Guang did not dare to show his face to the Long brothers. After all, the entire Pengcheng and his life were in the hands of the Long 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 throne ceremony will be held?" Now Xiang Guang is very concerned about when he will be able to ascend the throne. After all, he has already reached this point. If he doesn't sit in that position for a day, he will not be able to be safe for a day.

Longchuan thought for a while and said, "Of course the sooner the better. Tomorrow morning, we will summon all the ministers to crown the king. However, now Fan Shen is dead and the court is empty. I don't know if anyone can choose the marquis."

"Then I wonder what recommendations General Long has?" Xiang Guang was not stupid enough to arrange the people himself. After all, the power is in the hands of the Long brothers now. If they are not satisfied with the people he arranged, it is hard to say whether he can ascend the throne.

Longchuan said: "Mr. Marquis, I think it is most appropriate for Situ Chen Ding to replace the prime minister. The Chen family is the leader of the Pengcheng family. If you can get the help of the Chen family, it will be of great benefit to the Marquis to hold the throne."

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

At the next court meeting, all the civil and military officials of Chu State walked into the royal city with a blank expression. Although they were not completely aware of the whole process of what happened last night, they probably guessed that with the strong smell of blood in the royal city, they could already guess that there must have been a fierce battle in this place last night, but they didn't know who would win or lose.

When everyone walked into the hall, they saw the Langya Marquis Xiang Guang sitting on the throne, while Longchuan and Long Ao were lined up like left and right door gods.

After the ministers arrived, Longchuan shouted: "Xiang Kuang was incompetent and had to betray the previous king. Prime Minister Fan Shen was ambitious and intended to control Xiang Kuang and subvert the court. The general could not bear the destruction of the Xiang family's foundation, so he launched a righteous army to expel the foolish monarch and kill the traitor. Now the overall situation has been settled. The Marquis of Langya is civil and military, wise and decisive, comparable to the ancient sages. The general intends to support the Marquis of Langya as the king. I wonder what you think?"

It's all about this. If these ministers don't understand, they will be fools. It's obvious that last night, the Marquis of Langya and the Long brothers launched a mutiny, expelled Xiang Kuang and killed Fan Shen.

"Dare Longchuan, the former king is very kind to you. You actually plotted to rebel and usurp the throne in the court. He is the most traitor of the rioters in ancient and modern times. He will be despised by all the people. Langya Marquis, I advise you to stop at the cliff and return to the cliff. It is better to draw a clear line with such a traitor. Don't miss it yourself." Tao Shao, the Great Honglu, directly scolded Longchuan, bluntly saying that he was a traitor of the rioters, and advised Xiang Guang to let him go to the cliff.

Xiang Guang and Long Chuan's faces turned black in an instant, and Long Chuan said angrily: "Tao Shao, your son Tao Lin is a traitor and blind date. I believe there is an ulterior motive between you and Fan Shen. Come and drag Tao Shao out!"

Soon, two soldiers entered the hall and dragged Tao Shao out directly, and Tao Shao kept calling out the traitor.

Without Tao Shao, Longchuan showed a smile like spring breeze again and said to everyone: "I wonder what you think?"

After Fan Shen's death, Situ Chen Ding was the first of the civil officials. Chen Ding stepped out and said: "General Long said so much, and Situ was willing to support the Marquis of Langya as king."

Chen Ding thought it very clearly. Now Longchuan has controlled the entire Pengcheng. There are Longchuan's soldiers inside and outside the Pengcheng. If he opposes him, he will probably follow Tao Shao's footsteps. What's more, Chen Ding's entire family is in Pengcheng, so he has to consider the family.

Seeing that Chen Ding had made a statement, Longchuan nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself: Chen Ding is still very good-looking, and it is worthless that General I recommended him as prime minister last night.

"We'll discuss it!" Everyone saw that the Chen family, the leader of the aristocratic family, was willing to support Xiang Guang, what would they have to do?

Seeing that there was no disharmonious voice, Longchuan turned around and faced Xiang Guang, kneeled down and said, "My teacher, Longchuan, pay homage to the king!"

"I'm paying homage to the king!" The ministers followed.

Xiang Guang smiled, and he finally ascended the throne he had always dreamed of.

After ascending the throne, Xiang Guang now appointed Longchuan as the Grand Tutor, General, Marquis of Guangling, and governor of the world. He summarized the government affairs, and appointed Longao as the General of Cavalry, Marquis of Donghai, and was appointed Chen Ding as the Prime Minister and Marquis of Fengxian to assist Longchuan in handling the government affairs. At the same time, he ordered the generals of various places to go to Beijing to report their duties, and ordered the nationwide arrest of the deposed king Xiang Kuang, investigate Fan Shen, Tao Shao, and Tao Lin's family, and confiscate the family property.

Xiang Guang ascended the throne, and the whole country of Chu was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

On the other hand, Xiang Kuang, under the protection of Tao Lin, escaped from Pengcheng from the secret passage, headed south and hid east and west, and finally arrived at Zhang Di's military camp.

After seeing Zhang Di, Xiang Kuang cried bitterly and accused the Long brothers of their guilt.

Zhang Di looked at Xiang Kuang who was crying like a rainy person and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the Long brothers would dare to do something to usurp the throne. Don't worry, the king, I must be incompatible with his power."

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

At this time, Zhang Di's deputy general came in and reported that an envoy came to Pengcheng. Zhang Di comforted Xiang Kuang a few words, and then walked out to see the envoy. After the envoy saw Zhang Di, he ascended Xiang Guang ascended the throne and wanted Xiang Kuang nationwide. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Di to return to Pengcheng to report his duties and read it out. As a result, Zhang Di snatched the edict, tore it up on the spot, and killed the envoy.

Xiang Kuang and Tao Lin, who were hiding behind, saw this scene, and they were truly relieved.

Zhang Di returned to the tent and said to Xiang Kuang: "King, I have already killed the envoy sent by Longchuan. I wonder what the king will do next?"

Xiang Kuang looked at Zhang Di gratefully, and then said, "Fan Xiang said that as long as I arrive at General Zhang's military camp, I can issue an order to raise an army to defend the king."

When Zhang Di heard this, he thought for a while and said, "King, it is certain to raise an army to support the king, but the troops in my hands alone are not enough to compete with the Long brothers."

"Ah, what should I do?" Xiang Kuang panicked. He thought that he could defeat Longchuan and regain the throne by finding Zhang Di, but who thought that Zhang Di was no match for Longchuan?

Zhang Di thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. General Yu Zilong of Langya, General Zongyuan of Taishan, and General Chen Feng of Guangling had a good relationship with his ministers, and he was loyal to the king. As long as the king issued an order and ordered them to raise an army to defend the king, they would definitely respond."
