The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 404 - 267: Heaven-Sent Auspices, the Divine Child Is Born, a New King Ascends the Throne!

Chapter 404: Chapter 267: Heaven-Sent Auspices, the Divine Child Is Born, a New King Ascends the Throne!

As soon as these words were spoken, the King of Bianliao collapsed directly onto the Wolf Position.

The ministers in the court were horrified and shouted ’Traitor!’ ’Rebel!’

Yelyu Lie ordered someone to carry the King of Bianliao away, and the Imperial Tutor resisted desperately, but being unable to wield a chicken, he had no ability to protect himself aside from his sharp tongue.

Yelyu Lie stood with his hands behind his back, and after the King of Bianliao was carried away, he walked step by step towards the nine-tiered stone steps.

Soon, Na Jiezhe, who had disappeared for several days, led troops into the hall, surrounding all the ministers in the court.

He held a scroll in his hand and presented it to Yelyu Lie on the nine-tiered stone steps.

Yelyu Lie took it and, in front of the trembling civil and military officials, opened the scroll.

The scroll was of golden silk, appearing faded and very old.

Bazai Xiang, who had been squinting his eyes to rest, finally slowly opened his penetrating eyes.

He sighed lightly, "What is destined to come will come."

This sound was extremely soft, as if muttering to himself.

And the old ministers in the court all recognized the old silk, the very Golden Feather paper always used by the previous King to issue edicts!

After the King ascended the throne, the previous King was confined in the harem.

They said the previous King was seriously ill and needed quiet recuperation.

But this treasonous plot, who wouldn’t know about it?

The former king was imprisoned for twenty whole years and passed away ten years ago...

So what about this edict?

Eagle-eyed eyes swept over the civil and military officials in the hall one by one. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Finally stopped on Bazai Xiang.

The moment Bazai Xiang met the General’s gaze, he knew the outcome was decided, and not struggling any further, he was the first to kneel.

Then followed by some old ministers who were friendly with Bazai Xiang, and afterwards, the Military Officer.

Only the civil servants of the Imperial Tutor faction stood high and proud, unmoved.

Yelyu Lie remembered these stubborn civil servants one by one.

"By the secret edict of the previous King, I will execute the traitors and rebels! Zhu Xue, Cui Pu, Zhu Jianzhang..."

He pointed out over ten names, all of them ministers who assisted the King of Bianliao to usurp the throne back then.

Some were still unknown little officials at the time, and now the lowest ranked are placed as Secondary Second Rank.

Those whose names were called were terrified.

How could one keep hiding like a turtle? They all stepped forward to point out that the secret edict wielded by the Mighty General was fake!

Since the previous King has been deceased for ten years, where did this secret edict come from?

Clearly, it’s just an excuse for his own conspiracy.

However, no amount of explanation was of any use.

Ten mouths are no match for a single knife.

Yelyu Lie no longer wasted words, and with a wave of his hand, Na Jiezhe led fifty thousand Fierce Wolf Army to fight against twenty thousand Imperial Guards of the Royal City.

Those ten ministers whose names were pointed out, dyed the Jinluan Hall with blood.

History repeated itself.

Only this time, the one being slaughtered was Yelyu Erlun.

In the harem, chaos escalated, the concubines of the Queen’s faction were imprisoned in Wunian Palace, which was the newly established Cold Palace after Ningxiang Hall became obsolete.

There was already a mad former concubine inside, and after seeing the arrival of the Queen and her people, it was uncertain whether she pretended to be mad or truly was, but she set the Wunian Palace ablaze at night, burning it clean.

The reinforcements sent by the Western Regions received the news halfway and intended to return.

Unexpectedly seized by the Fierce Wolf Army that had long been ambushed, Banlai led eighty thousand troops and attacked all the way to the Western Regions.

Within ten days, he conquered the Royal City where the Khan was located.

Two generations of kings fell.

On the fifteenth of September, the people of the city stormed the main street, and countless people knelt on the Imperial Road, begging the new King to ascend the throne.

This is the will of the people, nobody knew how a conspiratorial person managed to gain such support from the people, accepting even such treacherous rebels and the usurpation of the throne.

Everyone naturally believed that this move by the Mighty General was to conquer the world!

To be the sole Monarch of the Qingxuan Continent!

However, at this moment, Yelyu Lie retreated into the background!

And simultaneously issued an edict, announcing that the new King about to ascend the throne was an infant only eight months old!

Although no one had seen what the new Emperor looked like, this move by the Mighty General shocked the court and the people immensely!

Bear in mind that the youngest child of the King of Bianliao was already six years old.

The General had never had any offspring.

Then, who is the never-before-seen infant?

The officials tolerated the rebel ministers and the coup, after all, Bianliao’s family name remained Yelyu, but where did this infant come from?

Yet, the Mighty General, accompanied by the General’s wife, publicly declared in the court that the new King is his eldest son with the Great Xia Princess, named Yelyu Jinghe.

Not just the populace, even the civil and military officials had never heard of the General having a child!

This was where it became all mysterious!

The sky, originally daylight, was covered by dense flocks of birds, shading heaven and earth, and everyone saw a golden shining bird perched on the golden tiles of Jinluan Hall.

Magpies, orioles, white cranes, peacocks...

And birds whose names everyone couldn’t call out, also perched on the various palaces in the Royal Palace.

They bowed their heads to pay homage to the golden bird!

This sight!

A miraculous sight never seen before!

After the birds bowed to worship, the Wolf King Jifeng also led countless beasts to the Royal Palace to pay homage to the golden bird.

The sounds of birds and beasts rose, echoing throughout the Royal City!

Isn’t this magical enough?

There’s something even more unbelievable!

While the birds and beasts bowed to the golden bird, a woman holding a peach blossom branch gracefully descended from the sky.

In her arms was a child wrapped in golden cloth.

The child appeared to be at least two years old, how could it possibly be the eight-month old infant described by the Mighty General?

But at this moment, everyone was too occupied to study the child’s size.

All eyes turned to the fairy descending from the sky.

When the Mighty General and the General’s wife joined hands and walked out from Jinluan Hall, the fairy slowly descended from the eaves and handed the child to the General’s wife.

"Heaven grants auspicious omen, the divine child is born, the new King ascends the throne, saving people from suffering."

This is a phrase passed down among the populace, whatever else the fairy said became irrelevant.

This is the new Emperor bestowed upon Bianliao by the heavens!

Whether it is the child of the Mighty General and the Great Xia Seventh Princess, nobody cared anymore.

The populace idolized the divinity, and on the day the divine child ascended the throne, even those unable to attend the ceremony would kneel at home, praying that the divine child would bring Bianliao auspiciousness and peace.

Voices of opposition in the court grew weaker and weaker.

After all, the Mighty General could willingly give up the land he conquered personally to a divine child, so what was the point of opposing?

On October first, the enthronement ceremony.

The infant who had just learned to walk was wobbly, led by the Mighty General clad in golden armor, personally taken to sit on the Wolf Position symbolizing royal power.

Later to be known as: Emperor Yong’an.
