Yang Xiao has been concentrating on practicing the Flying Leopard Magic Skill during this period, and chats and bickers with Udai when he has free time.
He had no idea about the war between the Dragon Empire and the Flying Leopard Empire that was happening outside.
He didn't know anything about the eldest prince Long Aotian going to Earth and bombing the Earth.
Fan Chen entered the Imperial Academy with the jade token of the eldest prince Wanyan He and found Wanyancuo, the elder of the training hall.
Wanyancuo took Fan Chen to the dormitory where Yang Xiao lived and found Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao saw Fan Chen and said in surprise:
"Hey, Brother Fan, why are you here? Long time no see. Let's have a drink at noon today."
Fan Chen said with a wry smile:
"Brother Yang, something serious has happened. Come out with me quickly."
Yang Xiao was shocked,
"What happened?"
"Emperor Feibao is dead. The eldest prince asked me to take you to the palace urgently."
"What?"
Yang Xiao and Wanyancuo were both shocked and looked at Fan Chen blankly.
Wanyancuo was even more excited and his body was shaking.
"Tell me again, what happened to the Flying Leopard Emperor?"
Fan Chen said briefly,
"Emperor Dalong brought an extremely powerful person to Emperor Feibao early this morning and killed Emperor Feibao. Emperor Feibao temporarily passed the throne to the eldest prince...
Time is urgent and the situation is delicate now. The eldest prince asked me to call Brother Yang to the palace immediately. I will tell you the specific details on the way. "
Yang Xiao immediately said:
"Get on your way quickly."
After walking out of the door, he stopped and said to Wanyancuo:
"Elder, you are a heavyweight in the Imperial College and a veteran of the Wanyan family. Now Emperor Feibao has just died and the eldest prince has not officially succeeded to the throne. Please hurry up and mobilize the elite forces of the college to rush to the palace to maintain order. "
Wanyancuo nodded,
"Yang Xiao, what you said is absolutely true. You go first, and I will come with several hundred elite troops later."
Yang Xiao and Fan Chen immediately flew out of the Imperial Academy, then used flying skills to fly urgently to the palace.
Fan Chen was so anxious along the way that he had no time to explain to Yang Xiao.
After a while, the two of them arrived inside the palace. At this moment, the palace's guards had been completely taken over by the guards led by Liang Bao.
When Yang Xiao and the two rushed to the entrance of the palace, Liang Bao was waiting anxiously outside. When he saw Yang Xiao, he immediately shouted:
"Brother Yang, you are finally here. His Highness is waiting for you inside."
Liang Bao left Fan Chen to manage the guards and took Yang Xiao into the palace.
Along the way, Yang Xiao briefly talked about what happened. After listening to this, his heart was filled with emotions, and he was extremely excited.
"What, the Dragon Empire raised its troops this time to capture me?"
"Yes, Long Aotian went to Earth a few months ago and said that you killed his third brother. Is this true?"
Yang Xiao nodded and said anxiously:
"Long Aotian didn't say anything else, and he didn't do anything to the people on earth?"
"He didn't say it, but according to Long Aotian's character and his hatred for you, he probably went on a killing spree. Yang Xiao, you have to be mentally prepared."
Yang Xiao gritted his teeth and couldn't help but clench his fists. If the Earth wasn't far away from the Witch Star and the Flying Leopard Empire was in a period of major changes, he would have wanted to go to the Earth immediately to have a look.
"Hey, since the Great Dragon Emperor named me to be arrested, why didn't the Flying Leopard Emperor tell me? Didn't he hand me over?"
"If I really hand you over, will you still have a chance to survive until now?"
"Oh, I didn't expect that Emperor Fei Bao would risk his own life for me. I, Yang Xiao, will never be able to repay this kindness in my lifetime."
.....
The two of them said as they entered the palace hall.
At this moment, more than a hundred of the empire's main ministers and generals gathered in the main hall.
Wanyan He lay on the crystal coffin of the Flying Leopard Emperor and cried bitterly. These ministers and generals also cried bitterly. Of course, some of them were genuine feelings and some were just for show.
Everyone was thinking about another thing in their hearts, how they could protect their own interests after Wanyan He succeeded to the throne.
Yang Xiao and Liang Bao walked into the main hall. Many people stopped crying immediately when they saw Yang Xiao. The crying in the main hall instantly became much quieter.
The first battle general Wan Yankang, the richest man Qin Chuan and others saw Yang Xiao and took the initiative to nod as a greeting.
At this critical moment, everyone knows how much influence Yang Xiao has on Wanyan He.
The Flying Leopard Emperor risked his own death and took the thunder god's palm in exchange for Yang Xiao's life. This moved Yang Xiao very much.
He also knew that Emperor Fei Bao did this with the intention of buying him, but no matter what, Emperor Fei Bao was willing to give up his own life to buy himself. This feeling is indeed great.
Yang Xiao walked to Wanyan He and gently patted Wanyan He on the shoulder.
"Your Highness, I offer my condolences to you!"
Wanyanhe felt much more at ease when he saw Yang Xiao arriving.
Although he is a prince and heir to the throne, he does not have many trustworthy and close friends in the palace, especially friends with great power.
Yang Xiao is the only one who is both trustworthy and possesses great power.
When Wanyan He saw Yang Xiao, his face was filled with tears and he choked with sobs:
"Brother Yang, my father, the king, is gone, wuwu..."
Yang Xiao's eyes were moist and he hugged Wanyan He.
"Your Highness, as long as I am here, I will fully support you. Now is not the time to be sad."
After saying that, Yang Xiao knelt down with a plop in front of the crystal coffin of Emperor Fei Bao, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, in order to save me, you rejected the Great Dragon Empire and sacrificed your own life. I, Yang Xiao, will never forget this kindness in my life. I will definitely repay your kindness with all my heart.
You can go with peace of mind. I, Yang Xiao, swear to God that I will avenge you for this hatred. In addition, please rest assured that I will fully assist His Highness. If anyone dares to provoke His Highness, I, Yang Xiao must fight to the death to protect it. "
What Yang Xiao said is true. In the midst of grief, every sentence is emotional and his will is firm.
The people around him were silent after hearing this.
Yang Xiao was originally an ally of the Feibao Empire, and with his special friendship with the eldest prince, everyone knew that Yang Xiao and the eldest prince had a life-long friendship.
Now that Emperor Feibao has exchanged his life for this friendship, it is naturally even more unbreakable.
As the leader of Ziyuan Star, Yang Xiao has powerful resources and power. In addition, Yang Xiao once killed the God of War and Long Kui who were in the imperial realm, so his influence among everyone is also very huge.
The eldest prince Wanyan He's genetic evolution talent is indeed average, but with the support of people like Yang Xiao, no one dares to easily provoke the eldest prince.
Yang Xiao stood up, glanced at Wan Yankang beside him, and said:
"General Kang, you were the emperor's right-hand man and the pillar of the country. Now that the emperor has unfortunately passed away, there are many plans for now. The most urgent thing is to immediately assist His Royal Highness to ascend the throne, inherit the throne, and then continue Let’s solve the rest one by one, what do you think?”
Yang Xiao gave Wanyan Kangtian a lot of face.
At this critical moment, we must win over everyone we can, especially Wan Yankang, who holds military power and is one of the few emperor-level extraordinary warriors in the empire.
Wanyankang was happy to be accommodating, shed tears and said:
"Young Master Yang, you are also the national advisor appointed by the emperor during his lifetime. What you say makes sense. We should immediately assist His Highness in enthroning the throne, and then slowly resolve other matters under the leadership of the new emperor. Otherwise, we will have no leader and no way to start. !”
After Wanyankang finished speaking, he said in a deep voice to everyone in the hall:
"Everyone, Emperor Feibao passed away unfortunately. Before his death, the emperor passed the throne to His Highness the Great Prince. The top priority is to support His Highness to ascend the throne and inherit the throne. We are all veterans of the empire. The country is facing a crisis. We should work together to support the new emperor. We must not If you have two minds, you will be killed without mercy."
After all, Wan Yankang was the number one general in the empire and had extremely high prestige. He took the lead in shouting like this, and the rest of the people immediately echoed loudly:
"Please ask His Highness the Great Prince to ascend the throne immediately and inherit the throne. We will follow you to the death!"
At this moment, Xinghai, the dean of Feibao Academy, hurried into the hall with dozens of instructors.
Everyone in the hall knew Dean Xinghai.
Wanyanhe felt even more relieved when he saw Dean Xinghai.
"Dean!"
Xinghai patted Wanyan He on the shoulder,
"Your Highness, I offer my condolences to you!"
Then, Xinghai knelt down and saluted in front of the body of Emperor Feibao.
Yang Xiao and Dean Xinghai nodded as a greeting.
Yang Xiao said loudly to Wanyan He:
"Your Highness, the matter is urgent. A simple registration ceremony will be held in the hall at this moment to inherit the throne."
To be honest, Wanyanhe was completely unprepared and did not expect that things would be so hasty. In addition, his genetic evolution level was relatively low and he did not have many close ministers in the dynasty. He did not have much confidence in inheriting the throne.
At this moment, with Yang Xiao and Xinghai by his side, coupled with Wan Yankang's superficial support, and the echoes of all the generals, he felt somewhat confident and secure in his heart.
Xinghai said:
"Your Highness, Yang Xiao is right. You will ascend the throne immediately. We at Feibao Academy, with more than 20,000 tutors and students, will fully support you."
After Xinghai received the news of the death of Emperor Feibao, he urgently met with Mr. Ye in the library.
Mr. Ye immediately expressed his stance and said:
"I'm afraid everyone will be dissatisfied with Wanyan He's qualifications, especially Wan Yankang's attitude. At this time, Feibao Academy must stand behind the eldest prince to stabilize the situation in the empire."
After all, Mr. Ye is an old man of the Wanyan royal family, so he naturally does not want the empire to fall apart due to civil strife.
The eldest prince Wanyan He nodded gratefully to Dean Xinghai.
A moment later, in the main hall, Wanyan He put on imperial clothes, put on the crown, and sat on the throne.
A loud bell rang outside the palace hall.
In the main hall, Yang Xiao, Wan Yankang, Xinghai and more than a hundred ministers and generals knelt on the ground and shouted in unison:
"Greetings to the Flying Leopard Emperor!"
At the same time, thousands of guards in the entire palace, as well as staff, knelt down and worshiped on the spot after hearing the bell in the registration hall, shouting "Greetings to the Feibao Emperor!"
Wanyan He sat on the throne, facing everyone as a formal emperor for the first time.
"Everyone, the empire suddenly encountered misfortune and my father died tragically. The top priority is to stabilize the overall situation. The positions of all ministers and generals will be as before. Everyone should perform their duties and stick to their posts.
In addition, the defense of the entire imperial capital was taken over by Xiao Gang and Liang Bao. Xiao Gang was the captain of the imperial guard team, and Liang Bao and Fan Chen were the deputy captains.
General Kang, you are highly respected and have always been the core leader of the army. Please go to the border immediately to command the army, closely monitor the movements of the Dalong Empire army, and prevent the other party from sneak attacks. "
Wanyankang's heart skipped a beat, Nima, why did you send me away just after registering?
However, the current situation is indeed special. No one knows whether the Great Dragon Empire will attack again. Besides, apart from Emperor Fei Bao, he is the deputy commander of the army. It is reasonable to send him to the border to lead the army.
Wan Yankang stood up bravely, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that I should go to guard the border immediately. However, the old emperor just died. I want to see the old emperor off. I will go after the old emperor's funeral is completed, okay?"
Wanyan He said:
"General Kang's loyalty and filial piety are commendable. However, the empire is now in a critical moment and cannot be delayed for a moment. Only General Kang has the ability to command the tens of thousands of troops on the border. I also know that you and my father have a deep and righteous relationship, so I will allow you to participate in my father's mission." The funeral should also be held,
However, if the Great Dragon Empire launches a sneak attack while we are in mourning across the country, wouldn't we be in catastrophe? "
Wanyankang was stunned, as if he couldn't find a better reason to refute.
Dean Xinghai on the side said in a deep voice:
"General Kang, everything is based on the overall interests of the empire. Loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. We all know your filial piety towards the old emperor. Guarding the border and protecting the safety of the empire is the greatest loyalty and filial piety!"
Wanyankang had no choice but to bow and said:
"In this case, I will say goodbye to the old emperor now."
After saying that, he walked to the old emperor's crystal coffin, kowtowed and knelt down, sobbed a few times, and left with tears.
Wanyan He also announced that the whole country would mourn for three days and hold a national funeral ceremony.
The ministers and generals left.
Wanyanhe summoned Yang Xiao and Dean Xinghai for a secret discussion.
"Dean, Brother Yang, what should I do?"
Xinghai smiled and said:
"You did a good job just now. You transferred Wanyankang away from the imperial capital in the name of guarding the frontier."
Wanyanhe said helplessly:
"Wan Yankang has too much power and too many confidants. Only by temporarily transferring him away from the imperial capital can I feel more at ease."
Yang Xiao said:
"During this period, I have to trouble the dean to temporarily stay in the palace. Only you can intimidate Wanyankang."
Xinghai nodded,
"There's no problem if I stay here temporarily."
Yang Xiao continued:
"In addition to returning the jurisdiction of the imperial capital's guards to His Majesty, there are also 20,000 elite guards in the suburbs of the imperial capital. The leader must also be reliable. If necessary, all middle-level cadres inside must be replaced to ensure control. "
Wanyan He said:
"This is not a big problem. The commander of the suburban army has always been a veteran of my father. My father also had an explanation before his death, and he is also loyal to me."
Yang Xiao added:
"In addition, we cannot push Wan Yankang too hard for the time being. Let him stay at the border for a period of time. After the overall situation in the imperial capital is stabilized, Wanyan Kang can be transferred back.
By the way, on the surface, Wan Yankang wants to be comforted, rewarded, and won over, but as long as he has a rebellious heart, he is still a talent who can be reused. "
Wanyan He said:
"Brother Yang is right. I am going to make Wan Yankang the 'National Elder' and reward him greatly and give him the highest honor."
...
Three days later, the old king held a grand funeral. An elder representative from the gene store headquarters attended.
In addition, the King of the White Elephant Empire attended the funeral in person, more than a hundred empires from the entire Witch Star sent representatives to attend the funeral, and the Great Dragon Empire also sent representatives.
About half a month after the funeral, Wanyan He, with the support of Yang Xiao and Xinghai, gradually adjusted the personnel of some key departments in the empire, and basically took control of the overall situation of the empire.
Wanyan Kang was far away at the border. Although his subordinates informed him, they could not interfere with Wanyan He's normal personnel arrangements.
In addition, Wan Yankang himself and his family also received awards from the new emperor. Xiao Gang went to the border to reward the army on behalf of the emperor and announced the emperor's title of "National Elder" to Wan Yankang.
Half a month later, Wanyan Heba and Wanyan Kang transferred back to the imperial capital and sent another family elder to lead the border army.
Wanyankang did not show any obvious dissatisfaction when he returned to the imperial capital. For Wanyanhe, he had initially overcome the difficulty.
Yang Xiao could never let go of his compatriots on the earth. He didn't know what Long Aotian had done on the earth, and he wanted to rush to the earth to see the situation.
However, he really can't leave now. Why does Wanyan need Yang Xiao to help him control the overall situation of the empire.
"Brother Yang, I know you are worried about your people on Earth. How about I send an interstellar spacecraft to pick up your brothers from Ziyuan Star first, and then take your brothers back to Earth for a visit?"
Yang Xiao has no better way. The Feibao Empire is also a very important chain of interests for Yang Xiao. There must be no mistakes. Otherwise, Yang Xiao will lose his base of activities in Wu Star, and Ziyuan Star will be difficult to preserve.
"Okay, I'll write a list. You send people to Ziyuan Star to find the Savage King. Send these brothers to Earth to check the situation."
