Hanzhang Hall was built in the second year of Chengyou and took eight years to complete.
In Xiao Yuwan's memory, the construction of Hanzhang Hall started from a nightmare her father had. It is said that the late emperor dreamed of Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Donghun, the deposed king who was ousted from the throne.
In the late emperor's dream, he was chased by Donghunhou who was burned beyond recognition in the Taiji Hall. Because the hall was empty, there was nowhere to hide, and there was no one to save him, Donghunhou pounced on him and bit his neck off.
The late emperor woke up from his dream. He was seriously ill and could not go to court for a month. He was in panic all day long for fear of being harmed.
Since then, he spent half a year searching for architectural talents all over the world, and mobilized 50,000 civilians. It took eight years to build this huge maze-like Hanzhang Hall.
It is said that in addition to the rooms corresponding to the seventy-two rounds of Qi Men Dun Jia Eight Doors and Nine Stars, there are countless secret rooms and secret passages, and her father is the only one who truly masters these.
But with the death of her father, the secrets about this huge palace were buried underground forever.
His father was afraid that the soul of Donghun Hou Xiao Baojuan would find him, so he built this maze-like palace.
And his brother even regarded this place as a place of refuge for him to escape from the debt collection efforts of many wronged souls.
His brother spent three years in this state of panic, spending his young life in endless fear and suspicion.
Now there is only one body left lying on the cold dragon bed, which makes people sigh.
And now there is a careerist who is following in his brother's footsteps, only he is more cruel, more cowardly, and more incompetent.
In the emperor's bedroom, the man who looked dignified but looked like a crazed beast was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and kept roaring loudly.
"Where is the treasure seal? Where is the treasure seal? Xiao Yuwan, where did you hide that treasure seal?"
Xiao Yuwan sat next to the cold body of Emperor Daxing, and finally stroked his cold face. She did not raise her eyes, her expression was calm, and she was indifferent to the man's crazy behavior.
She said calmly: "The treasure seals are all on the table. Didn't I give you the imperial seal?"
"No! The most important jade seal is missing!"
Xiao Wei held the table with both hands and panted violently, as if the roar just now had exhausted all his energy.
He turned back suddenly, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he glared viciously at the most noble princess of the Da Qi Empire like a wild beast.
Xiao Yuwan still didn't look at him, expressionless: "You killed all the Zhongzhang Seals. Without the Jade Seal, who else do you want to ask for?"
"Zhongzhangxi said so! I killed him because he had never seen that Fang Baoyin."
"Me?" Xiao Yuwan sneered, "You don't deserve to be called me!"
Xiao Wei's broad-sleeved robe swept across the table, grabbed the imperial edict in his hand, and shook it in mid-air.
"The imperial edict of Emperor Daxing is here, with my name written on it. How dare you say that I am unworthy!"
"You wrote the name on the imperial edict yourself!" Xiao Yuwan narrowed her eyes and continued to sarcastically say, "Without the support of the ministers, the support of the clan, and so many nobles and nobles in the capital, who would think that you Is it the emperor?"
"I have the will of Emperor Daxing. No matter what, it is all written in his handwriting! I have the edict, so I am the emperor!"
"An emperor whom no one believes in."
"I have support and many ministers who have expressed their loyalty to me. I also have an army. My army has controlled the entire palace. Whatever I say will be whatever I say!"
"Haha...it's ridiculous!" Xiao Yuwan sneered.
Xiao Wei said angrily: "This is how Xiao Yuheng usurped the throne back then! He can, why can't I? I have killed far fewer people than him."
"Bold! You can mention Emperor Daxing's name casually? You are not allowed to slander Emperor Daxing!"
Xiao Yuwan said, getting up and wanting to slap Xiao Wei. He couldn't listen to others saying that his brother killed his father and killed his king, even if she had been avoiding this past in her heart.
But before she raised her hand halfway, Xiao Wei grabbed her wrist with a ferocious expression.
"His Xiao Yuheng's hands are stained with the blood of the clan, but I don't..." When Xiao Wei said this, he smiled nervously, but then immediately became furious, "Hurry up, hand over the jade seal to me, Otherwise, I will operate on you first today!"
Xiao Yuwan was not afraid, with a mocking look on her face: "You will never get that jade seal, because it was never here."
"Bitch!"
Xiao Wei pushed her hard, and Xiao Yuwan suddenly hit the pillar, with stars in her eyes.
"You lied! You lied!" Xiao Wei roared angrily, "The seal is right here, it must have been hidden by you!"
After saying that, Xiao Wei stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yuwan's hair, dragging her to the ground.
The woman's screams and wails resounded throughout the emperor's bedroom and outside. The officials and palace officials waiting outside the bedroom turned a deaf ear to this. They all surrendered to Xiao Wei, and they all vented their anger after being abused by Emperor Daxing. On the most beautiful princess in the empire.
Xiao Wei was so angry that he pulled out the dagger from his waist, pulled Xiao Yuwan in front of the bronze mirror, and said angrily: "Sister, what a beautiful face you have! The world says that my sister is the most beautiful woman in Daqi, the most beautiful woman in the country. Qingcheng, hehe... It brings disaster to the country and the people. I wonder if I stabbed marks on your face with my swords. If word spreads, will anyone say that I am doing harm to the people?"
Xiao Yuwan's eyes were filled with tears, but she gritted her teeth and glared angrily: "Kill me if you have the guts!"
"Kill you? Wouldn't it be too easy for you to die?" Xiao Wei pushed Xiao Yuwan aside, put away the dagger, and breathed heavily, "Were you still behind when I tortured you? Xiao Yuheng tortured you You have been with me for three whole years, so I can't torture her beautiful sister for three years? Then I will throw you to a bunch of beggars and let them taste what it is like to be the most noble bitch in the Qi Dynasty."
Xiao Yuwan's eyes were red and full of hatred.
"Xiao Wei, you are really worse than a beast! I really regret that I tried so hard to save you from Emperor Daxing!"
Xiao Wei's eyes widened angrily: "Do you think I should thank you and stop hating you two sisters? You have killed so many of my closest relatives, how can I forget!"
Xiao Yuwan's eyes flashed with desolation. At this moment, she seemed to feel that the whole world had lost its color and turned into a gray patch.
Xiao Wei pinched her neck and shook it hard: "Speak quickly! Tell me quickly! Where is Fang Baoxi!"
Xiao Yuwan said with a sneer in her sadness: "Xiao Wei, do you know that the seal on the Fang Baoxi is engraved with the message "I am ordered by heaven, and I will receive Yongchang!"
"Yes, yes, where is the seal?" Xiao Wei seemed to see hope again on his face.
Xiao Yuwan turned around and spat at him: "Stop dreaming! You traitor and traitor! You have no destiny from heaven, your end is coming soon!"
Xiao Yu wiped the saliva from his face and slapped Xiao Yuwan with his backhand: "I want that Fang Yuxi!"
Xiao Yuwan fell to the ground. He wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth. His face was no longer sulky, but instead was filled with contempt and ridicule.
"Haha... Xiao Wei, you want that Fang Chuanguo Jade Seal so much because you are riding a tiger now and are eager to change the situation that is not conducive to you! You rebelled first and thought that everything would be fine after getting His Majesty's imperial edict? You didn't I have thought that an edict without the emperor's seal is just a piece of empty talk. No one will treat you as an emperor, and those who follow you will betray you sooner or later. You are not just a false emperor, but a usurper! What kind of emperor is an emperor without a royal seal? Haha..."
Xiao Wei's originally handsome face was so distorted that he looked like a devil. He had murderous intentions and wanted to kill this evil-looking imperial eldest princess with a knife. He then laughed nervously.
Xiao Yuwan looked at him warily: "What do you want to do!"
Xiao Wei glanced at the body of Emperor Daxing lying on the dragon couch, and he walked towards the dragon couch.
Xiao Yuwan rushed over to protect her brother's body: "Xiao Wei, you are not a human being, what are you going to do to Emperor Daxing! If the world knows what you did to Emperor Daxing! Even if you sit on the throne, you will not Sit tight!"
Xiao Wei took his time and said: "They say that the Daxing Emperor was not a womanizer, so much so that he never had a son or a daughter until his death. I want to see if there is really something wrong with him, and cut off a little piece of it." You can’t even see it! I hate him, so I can only secretly do some tricks so that he doesn’t have a whole body!”
"You...you are not human..."
Xiao Wei frowned again: "Oh, will the historians remember this kind of thing? The sixth emperor of the Qi Dynasty was a rootless man and a eunuch, hahaha..."
Xiao Yuwan had a look of resentment on her face. She was on the verge of collapse, with tears streaming down her face: "If it were Xiao Yu, if it were him...he would never be as inferior to a beast as you!"
"Xiao Yu? Where did he go? As soon as I heard that the emperor was buried, I was scared. I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to scare him, so he just stuck his ass and ran away... By the way, where is he? Let him come out! Come out and save you!"
"You're not a bad photo of Xiao Yu!" Xiao Yuwan said coldly.
"You said I'm not as good as him?" Xiao Wei suddenly laughed, "You still expect him to save you? Does he dare to be a hero to save the beauty? And... there are rumors that you have an unclear affair with him. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I heard that you forced him to stay in your house just to have a private meeting with your lover and do that sleazy thing with him!”
"You're talking nonsense!"
Xiao Yuwan angrily grabbed the bronze mirror on the table next to her and threw it at Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei dodged, and the bronze mirror flew into the air and hit the pillar.
Seeing Xiao Yuwan's angry look, he felt that his mood was particularly smooth, and his murderous intention gradually subsided a lot.
He gradually calmed down, truly calmed down from the crazy state of taking Five Stone Powder, and he began to make real plans.
Xiao Yuwan still cannot die. Now she is a hostage in his hands, which is enough to deter those so-called "Princess Party" people from submitting. If his imperial power is stable in the future, it will not be too late to kill Xiao Yuwan.
The most critical thing now is Fang Baoyin.
It is said that there are countless secret passages in the secret rooms of Hanzhang Palace. Perhaps the imperial seal must be hidden in some unknown place. Xiao Yuwan has been in charge of the center for the tyrant Xiao Yuheng. She must know...
Without the imperial seal, it would be difficult for him to stabilize his empire.
But what is the next step to coerce and induce? The hard ones have been tried, but the effect is extremely poor. Xiao Yuwan is already resisting with all her strength.
Xiao Wei was worrying about how to pry out the whereabouts of the imperial seal from Xiao Yuwan's mouth, when suddenly there was a knock on the door from an internal official.
Xiao Wei was upset and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"
"Report from the front, there is a battle outside Chonghe Gate, and an army is attacking the city gate."
"Didn't they all send people to appease me? Didn't all the generals declare their loyalty to me? Who was so blind that he let the Forbidden Army who swore allegiance to me go to suppress it, and let Lu Zixun go and supervise the armies? .”
"General Lu has gone. The war is unknown."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!" Xiao Wei cursed.
There was a moment of hesitation outside the house, and a moment later another voice came: "There's one more thing..."
"Say something quickly!" Xiao Wei became more and more impatient, "If you do this again, I will chop off your head."
There was a kowtow from outside the door, and the official's voice trembled: "Well... Your Majesty, Duke Zhou found the Prince of Jiangxia and brought him back. The Prince of Jiangxia bowed his head to express his surrender."
"Hahaha..." Xiao Wei looked up to the sky and laughed, turning around in a circle: "A good omen comes from the sky, a good omen comes from the sky! I am the real dragon emperor, the home of heaven and earth... Where are they... I really want to see them. "
"I am in the audience hall... waiting for His Majesty with the important ministers. By the way, Minister Zhu Yizhu is also here, and he also expressed his submission to Your Majesty."
"I want to see them, I want to see them! Quick...quick...bring me the emperor's uniform, I want to wear a white hat!"
Xiao Wei was so happy that he was a little carried away, but the eunuch outside the door hesitated at this moment.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Wei suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty...Emperor Daxing has not yet...well...this is not in line with etiquette..." the official outside the door reminded.
"I am the emperor, but I have not ascended the throne. In a few days, the memorial ceremony for Emperor Daxing will be completed and sent to Jiyang... Then I will worship the heaven, earth and ancestors. The subjects will shout long live. I will be the real emperor... I only I want to wear the emperor's crown in advance to show it to the ministers, and also to shock the Prince of Jiangxia, let him see my true dragon appearance, and let him stop having any wrong thoughts, haha!"
The official outside the door hesitated, and Xiao Yuwancai sneered: "Xiao Wei, you are like a peasant entering the city. You don't even know what an emperor is and what a supreme being is. You treat imperial power like child's play."
"Shut up you bitch!" Xiao Wei roared.
Xiao Yuwan's hair was disheveled and her clothes were disheveled, but she had no fear and unscrupulously laughed at this crazy man who had the dream of being an emperor.
Xiao Wei ignored her and asked the palace officials to quickly prepare the emperor's crown.
At this time, Xiao Wei thought about it again and laid out the imperial edict on the table. In front of him were twenty-three treasure seals, large and small.
He closed his eyes and recalled carefully. He seemed to be unable to remember when Xiao Yuheng had used the seal that said "Ordered by Heaven, Live Long and Prosperously".
But he seemed to vaguely remember that Xiao Yuheng always used the seal of another party's "Da Qi Mandated Treasure" when handling official affairs. He saw it from time to time when he was accompanying him.
He still remembered the appearance of the square white jade seal, and the heavy square seal was placed on the table, facing him.
He held up the Fang Baoxi without hesitation, looked back at Xiao Yuwan, and saw Xiao Yuwan's face suddenly froze, staring blankly at the Fang Baoyin.
Xiao Wei did not hesitate to put the Fang Bao Seal on the edict.
"In a moment... I will ask the eldest princess to accompany me to read out the edict in front of all the ministers. Sister... I know you are still worried about me, so you won't fail to cooperate!"
Xiao Yuwan's face was as dark as water and she didn't say a word.
