Chapter 768: Nine Dragons Chasing Stars and Eight Dragons Falling
After midnight.
The entire Kyoto was brightly lit, and people came and went outside the East City Gate, shoulder to shoulder.
Countless ordinary people stood on both sides of the city gate, each carrying lanterns, waiting for the return of the team that went to the east to explore the mountain.
The Empress Dowager also led all the civil and military officials in the court to block outside the city gate, and wanted to know what happened to the sky tonight.
And just as everyone was expecting, three teams of men protected a large carriage and slowly rushed towards the east city gate.
The leader was the prince Xuanyuan Long. When everyone came to the city gate, Xuanyuan Long quickly came down from the horse's back and ran to the empress dowager to report, "Mother, a big stone fell from the sky, it..."
"I'm doing something hesitant and say something." The empress dowager said coldly.
Xuanyuan Long dared not speak directly, so he could only wave his hand and say, "Mother, please come forward and take a look."
The empress dowager frowned, looked at Xuanyuan Long, and then led everyone around and carefully checked the large oval stone weighing four or five hundred pounds on the carriage.
Because it fell from high altitude, after atmospheric friction, it was burned to black all over, and many edges and corners were also flattened, making the whole stone look a little smooth.
Of course, this is not the most magical thing. The most magical thing is that directly above the big stone, there is a line of words engraved.
"The Nine Dragons Chasing Stars and Eight Dragons Falling."
The empress dowager raised her toes, looked at the line of words with her head raised, and recited them silently.
Everyone onlookers heard the scene and exclaimed.
There is no doubt that among all the descendants of the old emperor of Tiancang Kingdom, only nine princes were qualified to compete for the throne. The Jiulong Star Chasing written on this big stone corresponds to the Kowloon Star Chasing Day mentioned earlier, and the day when the prince held the throne ceremony.
But at that time, the old prince Xuanyuan Wen disrupted the situation, so the throne ceremony was not held smoothly. Now there is another strange phenomenon in heaven, which shows that the Nine Dragons chased the stars and fell. Doesn’t this mean that only the last dragon successfully chased the star?
The meaning contained in this is very obvious.
The third prince Xuanyuan Feng took the lead and said, "Empress Dowager, if there is a strange phenomenon today, God has also given us all the people of Tiancang Kingdom. Apart from this ninth dragon, no one can chase stars anymore."
"Yes, Empress Dowager, in my opinion, the ninth dragon refers to our ninth brother!" The fifth prince Xuanyuan Yu also stood up and said with a shout.
The other princes and princesses stood there without saying a word and dared not speak much.
Compared with these two people, their strength is much weaker, and at this time they dare not stand up and be the first to stand up.
The Empress Dowager said stiffly, "Bad revelation, how do you know that this Ninth Dragon is not the prince? Lao Jiu has been imprisoned in the heavenly prison for his rebellion, and he has already fallen into the dragon."
"Yes, I think so too." Xuanyuan Wen stood up and said.
He didn't want the prince to ascend the throne, but he didn't want Xuanyuan Qing to ascend the throne, so in this case, he naturally wanted to suppress the situation that appeared in this day, which would be beneficial to Xuanyuan Qing.
Xuanyuan Feng said with a blue face, "Empress Dowager, Uncle, you don't have to argue. We don't believe that Lao Jiu is planning a rebellion at all. If he wants to plan a rebellion, why did he have to obey the order and return from the border? He can be a force at the border." "Yes, I also think that the third brother's words are reasonable. The ninth brother is definitely not a person who plots a rebellion. On the contrary, I think he was framed. As for who was framed by him, I think everyone knows it." Xuanyuan Yu said coldly.
Xuanyuan Long roared angrily, "Lao San Lao Wu, what do you mean? In front of so many people, are you still pointing at the slander and slandering me and saying that I am accusing Lao Jiu?"
"We didn't say about you, are you so anxious to get out and take the seat?" Xuanyuan Yu said sarcastically.
"I think you are the one who is tempted to rebel, otherwise how dare you be so bold and openly slander me." Xuanyuan Long said angrily.
Xuanyuan Feng immediately stood up and stood in front of Xuanyuan Yu and began to curse the prince.
Soon the other princes and princesses began to join, and there was a quarrel outside the East City Gate, and everyone was in a mess.
"Stop arguing, it's all princesses, how can it be so polite to argue here."
And just as the scene was out of control, a loud shout suddenly sounded behind the city gate.
When everyone looked back, they saw Gu Chan and the three ladies, each riding a fast horse and leading a team of guards, slowly walked out of the city gate.
The people automatically gave in and asked Gu Chan and others to come over.
When he arrived outside the city gate, Gu Chan gave a look at the three wives, then got off the horse, walked to the empress dowager and others to greet him one by one.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
The three ladies dismounted together and led the guards of Prince Chan's mansion to maintain order on the scene and stop everyone from making noise.
"It's worthy of being Prince Chan. I've controlled the scene right now. It's really amazing."
"Yes! If he doesn't come, the princes and princesses are quarreling. When he comes, everyone will be quiet."
"It's obvious! The royal family is still very afraid of this little prince."
Seeing this, the people around them whispered to each other.
Everyone can see that with Gu Chan's current strength, it is enough to make everyone in the royal family feel awe of her.
Gu Chan ignored everyone's comments, walked to the side of the carriage, pretending to look around the big stone.
After watching for a while, she sneered, "Empress Dowager, old prince, prince, and all the princes and princes present, I think you don't need to quarrel. Since God gave the inspiration that the eight dragons have fallen, it's better to discuss it with all the civil and military officials in the court and all the people of Kyoto to see which eight dragons fell, then I'll be together?"
"Then Gu Chan, in your opinion, which eight dragons fell off?" said the queen mother coldly.
"Now, all the six ministries of Kyoto have been handed over to me, so the six princes who were originally managed by the six ministries have been considered to be a loss! Then the third prince, fifth prince, sixth prince, eighth prince, tenth prince, and eleventh prince, these six people have excluded them. No one has any objection, right?" Gu Chan said with a spreading hand.
Xuanyuan Feng nodded and said, "Just fall down! Anyway, the six of us thought we could not sit on the throne, so it doesn't matter."
"Okay, let's talk about the second prince. He committed suicide by taking poison when he was in Jiangnan. He fell off a long time ago, so he fell off one of him. In this way, he fell off seven dragons. The ninth prince was in the prison, and his life and death were uncertain. It was also considered to be a fall off. Therefore, the only remaining ninth dragon should be here." Gu Chan said with a sarcastic smile.
As soon as she said this, the audience was in an uproar. Everyone stared at the prince Xuanyuan Long and the old prince Xuanyuan Wen.
