Douluo's beginning recruits Yuhao

Chapter 157 Selection of successor to the throne
When the little prince heard what Su Yu said, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Becoming the Emperor of the Sun and Moon? Is it really possible? I heard from my mother and concubine that I can only be a free prince in this life. I can't become the emperor." Only the prince brother, or other brothers, there is no possibility for me to become the emperor."

Su Yu smiled and touched the little prince's head and said: "Of course, your brother the prince and the other brothers were killed in the attack here. Now you are the only one alive. If you don't inherit the throne, who can?" ?So His Highness can definitely inherit the throne and become the Emperor of the Sun and Moon."

Hearing this, the little prince quickly asked Su Yu: "Then I want to become the emperor, but how can I become the emperor? I heard that it is difficult to become the emperor."

"This allows me and Jing Hongchen to help His Highness, and others can also help His Highness. Your Highness, you can become the emperor." Su Yu smiled and said: "So, Your Highness, don't worry, we will give these to Your Highness." It has been arranged, and when the time comes, Your Highness, you can directly ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor."

"Okay, it's getting late. Your Highness, it's time for you to rest. After our discussion with you tomorrow morning, and after Your Majesty and Your Highness's prince brothers are buried, Your Highness, you can ascend the throne and become the emperor."

After Su Yu finished speaking, he shouted to the living eunuch outside the palace and asked him to take Xu Xiao down to rest.

"When it comes to deceiving, it's your fault." After seeing Xu Ran walking away, Jing Hongchen waved his hand, a soul barrier appeared, and said, "Such a young child was so stunned by you that he was deceived. , I would really believe the lies of a murderer like you, it’s so heartbreaking.”

"Ha!" Su Yu chuckled and said, "This is the rule of this world. If you really have love, after the matter is over, you can raise him in the future, how about it?"

"Huh? You don't plan to kill him in the future?" Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.

Su Yu shook his head slightly and said, "Just seal his tendons, so that he will not be able to practice in the future, and he will be just an ordinary person for the rest of his life."

"Furthermore, Xu Ran is the last survivor after all. He must give face to those who support the royal family in the world. If the last prince dies, it will easily cause a backlash."

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen nodded slightly and said, "What you said is true. There are many people in the four major legions and the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Legion who support the royal family, not to mention others."

"Even if you finally deserve the title of emperor, if Xu Ran dies mysteriously, it will easily make people think of something, which is not a good thing for you."

"Think of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire. He was the Emperor of Star Luo ten thousand years ago. Although he has been suppressed by the Star Luo royal family in recent years, at least he has survived."

"As long as Emperor Xingluo does this, there is actually nothing to fear from a declining royal family, and you can even take advantage of him."

"What are you going to do next? Tell me what you think and I can make arrangements."

Su Yu pondered for a moment and said: "The current task is to stabilize the situation and let Xu Ran ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and then to get rid of the Holy Spirit Sect. I don't want to fight on the front lines and cause chaos in the rear."

"And this cancer has existed for such a long time. They have left a mark on history, and they should be left in the past."

"It is indeed time to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult. The vast majority of people in the Sun and Moon Empire are eager to get rid of the Holy Spirit Cult. There are also many ministers in the court asking Your Majesty to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult, but His Majesty's attitude has always been ambiguous."

"Especially Xu Tianran actually cooperated with the Holy Spirit Sect and planned to establish it as a state religion. Therefore, the current situation makes most people very disappointed with the royal family."

"Some time ago, you took action against the Holy Spirit Cult, but it attracted the support of many people. When the time comes, you openly take action against the Holy Spirit Cult, which will gain greater reputation for you in the future. If you also unify Douluo Continent, you will be There are greater benefits to ascending the throne and proclaiming yourself emperor."

After Su Yu heard this, he glanced at Hongchen and said, "I know this and I know how to do it. Don't worry, I have already planned what you said. As long as nothing happens, there will be no problem. "

"Okay, it's so late. Let's go and rest. We have an early morning meeting tomorrow." After saying that, Su Yu waved his hand, got up and left the hall, found a room in the palace, and lay down with his clothes on to sleep. a while.

In the early morning, in the morning hall, all the civil and military officials were already standing in rows, waiting for the arrival of Su Yu, Jing Hongchen and others.

While they were waiting, they all gathered together in twos and threes, discussing what happened in the palace last night.

"Tell me, what happened in the palace last night? The gentleman who informed me last night, I asked him, but he didn't say anything."

"I don't know. I'm curious. I was informed that there was an early morning meeting this morning even though it was late at night. It was said that it was informed by His Majesty."

"Is there something important? All the important courtiers have been notified, and now only Su Yu, Jing Hongchen and others are left."

"Look, you'll find out soon."

"I heard that His Majesty was seriously injured. I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that the strong man who attacked last night was in the quasi-god realm. Su Yu didn't even leave him behind when he came."

"Elaborate on what you know."

"."

'tread!tread!tread'

While everyone was talking in low voices, a burst of footsteps came from outside the hall. Everyone looked out of the hall curiously, and saw Su Yu walking in with a child of five or six years old, followed by Jing Hongchen and others. several ministers.

While walking at the front, Jing Hongchen walked to his seat. Su Yu stood at the front, holding the little prince's hand, and said: "Today's morning meeting will be hosted by little prince Xu Ran and I, and we will inform you of some important things." news."

After Su Yu finished speaking, all the ministers had different expressions, but they all saluted in unison: "I have met His Highness! Director Su!"

"You are all the humerus ministers of my father. I know that you are all loyal to my father, and I also know that you are loyal to our Sun and Moon Empire." Xu Ran said with a sweet voice: "But there were thieves who attacked the palace last night. The entire palace suffered heavy casualties, so Director Su and I will be the ones responsible for presiding over today’s morning court.”

When Xu Ran said this, he looked at Su Yu and said, "Director Su, the rest is up to you. I'm listening."

"Well, Your Highness, please sit here." Su Yu led Xu Ran to the bottom of the dragon chair and motioned Xu Ran to sit down, and Xu Ran also sat down quickly.

All the ministers in the hall looked at Su Yu and Xu Ran with different eyes. No one knew what they were thinking.

"Okay, let's start the court meeting." Su Yu arranged for Xu and then walked down the steps and said, "The court meeting will talk about several big things today, but they are all bad news. Everyone should be mentally prepared."

"Let me talk about the first thing first. I believe you all already know about the attack on the palace last night, but I have to tell you a very unfortunate news. Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and all the princes and grandsons were all involved in this attack. Death."

"But I didn't kill the attacker, and I didn't have the ability to seriously injure him. His strength was basically the same as mine, and I finally let him escape."

"Among the many princes now, only the young prince Xu Ran survives, and the content of today's court meeting is about the throne."

Su Yu's words were like a bombshell, which caused an uproar among the crowd. Emperor Sun and Moon died, and even His Highness the Crown Prince died. Now there is only one little prince left. This matter is a bit embarrassing. .

"Your Highness, Director Su, now that Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince are dead, will this cause turmoil in the empire, and will it allow the Douluo Three Kingdoms to take the opportunity to attack our Sun and Moon Empire?" A few seconds later, a courtier stood up and said.

"Yes, this matter also needs to be solved today. As long as it is solved well, everything will be fine." Su Yu nodded slightly and said, "But let's solve it one by one first. If you all work together, everything can be solved. We are now What we are talking about is the throne of the emperor, and everyone should express their opinions."

"I, Hall Master Jing, and several other ministers have agreed to let the young prince ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in order to stabilize the situation. What do you think?"

"Your Highness, Director Su, I personally have no objection to His Highness ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. However, His Highness is still young. Is it inappropriate for His Highness to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor at this age?" After Su Yu finished speaking, someone else stood up and said.

"I also feel that His Highness is too young to control the entire empire. Should we look for another royal bloodline to ascend the throne and become emperor?" After the man finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and said.

Then, another 20 people stood up and seconded the proposal, while the rest were watching their hearts. These people were more or less related to Su Yu, Jing Hongchen and several other ministers. Since these few were all Once the decision is made, what will they do if they stand up again?
Su Yu looked at those who stood up calmly and said, "I know what you are worried about, but the succession mechanism of the throne is first the crown prince of a country, and then all the princes."

"Although the young prince is young, why can't he control the entire empire with me, Jing Hongchen, and all the ministers here? So it is not the turn of someone outside the mechanism to inherit."

"Except for the little prince, His Majesty's brothers, those princes, all died mysteriously 20 years ago. Only the heirs of those princes are still alive."

"And those prince's heirs can only be regarded as collateral lines. If you do this, you will give the throne to the collateral lines, but the little prince is still alive. Do you think this is appropriate?"

"If the little prince does not survive, what you are doing is completely correct, but it is not feasible now. It is okay to let them assist the little prince."

When those people heard Su Yu's words, they felt that he had made a mistake, but it was still unclear whether he had made a mistake.

After all, the current situation is related to everyone's interests, and the royal family, courtiers, officials, nobles, and relatives of the emperor all have a huge network of relationships.

And in this huge network of relationships, what everyone does is related to their own interests.

So no one knows what the relationship is between these people and those princes and heirs. If any of those people can successfully ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor, then they will have the power to follow the dragon.So the twists and turns inside are really not something that can be explained clearly in a sentence or two.

"I support the young prince's enthronement and proclaiming himself emperor. The young prince is your majesty's direct bloodline. He is the only one who is most suitable now." A few seconds after Su Yu finished speaking, someone who had not spoken up before stood up and said.

"Wei Chen also supports it!"

"My minister agrees!"

"."

Soon, more and more people came forward to support the young prince's ascension to the throne, which made Xu Ran, who was sitting on the steps above, look happy.

He was about to cry when he saw some people objecting. Fortunately, there were also many people who supported him.

"Since most people support the young prince's ascension to the throne, this matter has been finalized for the time being." Su Yu said, "Now let's talk about the funeral of His Majesty, His Royal Highness and others."

"My personal opinion is to keep the mourning secret for the time being, and wait until the situation in the empire is completely under control before mourning His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince."

"If the situation is okay, then mourning for His Majesty, the Crown Prince and others will not only cause turmoil, but will also give Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy an opportunity to take advantage of. What do you think?"

After hearing Su Yu's proposal, everyone fell into deep thought. After a while, Jing Hongchen stood up and said, "I support Director Su's proposal. There cannot be civil strife now. In a situation where enemies are around, the safety of the empire is the most important thing." .”

"I support you!"

"My minister agrees!"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Su Yu said, "Well, since everyone has no objections to this matter, then this matter is settled. Now let's talk about the little prince's enthronement."

"My personal opinion is that after controlling the situation in the empire, let the young prince ascend the throne first, and then mourn His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others. This way, even if there are certain hidden dangers, we can quickly suppress them. What do you think?"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Naturally, they did not have any opinions on Su Yu's proposal. Now they really needed to control the situation. If the situation was turbulent, the Sun and Moon Empire would fall into internal and external troubles. These were not things that these courtiers could see.

"Since everyone has no objections to this matter, then the news about the death of His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince will be blocked for five or six days." Su Yu said in a deep voice: "As long as the news of the death of His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince is blocked in a short time Without being leaked, it is completely enough for us to control the situation and layout."

"You are all courtiers of the Sun and Moon Empire, and everything you say and do now is related to the rise and fall of the Sun and Moon Empire, so you must take confidentiality measures. If the news of the death of His Majesty and His Royal Highness is leaked, then the nine tribes will be killed."

"For the sake of the safety of the Sun and Moon Empire, don't doubt what I say, and don't doubt the determination of myself, the Mirror Hall Master, the Prime Minister, and others. Do you all understand?" Su Yu said this, looking at everyone with cold eyes. people.

Seeing Su Yu's eyes, everyone's expressions changed, and they quickly said respectfully: "We'll keep this in mind!"

"Okay, next thing." Su Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "This matter is about the Holy Spirit Cult. The current situation does not allow for the slightest disturbance, and the Holy Spirit Cult is the most unstable time bomb now. , so I plan to destroy the Holy Spirit Sect."

"And I know that some of you have an unclear relationship with the Holy Spirit Cult, but this time I hope you will stand in line correctly. If I know that the Holy Spirit Cult has escaped, or there is a cholera epidemic in the city, your family will directly kill the Nine Clans. .”

"Don't doubt what I said. At this critical juncture, everything can only be dealt with by bloody means. Although I didn't pay much attention to things in the court before and entered the court relatively late, it doesn't mean that I have no intention of tolerate it. Some people can mess around.”

Feeling the murderous intent on Su Yu's body, everyone's hearts couldn't help but beat. Some people's eyes were flashing, but no one dared to refute at all.

After all, where is Su Yu's strength? If he really dares to act recklessly, they will be the ones who die. Anyway, those who die are the people of the Holy Spirit Cult, not themselves.

"Since everyone has no objections and knows what to do, I won't say anything else." Su Yu glanced at everyone and said, "However, I also hope that everyone will put the interests of the empire first and not worry about small things. Big loss.”

"Let's talk about the issue of the imperial war: whether to continue or not to continue. Whether to continue or not, you have to give your reasons."

"Your Highness, Director Su, I feel that under the current situation, there is no need to continue the war. If you want to continue the war, you have to wait until ten years later, when Your Highness is older, so that you can better coordinate the entire war." Shortly after Su Yu finished speaking, an old minister stood up and said.

"At your current age, His Highness is completely unable to control the situation of the war and cannot make reasonable arrangements. If the arrangements are not good, the war will be lost. We have already lost once thousands of years ago, and we cannot tolerate it now. We lose again.”

"Yes, that makes sense." Su Yu nodded after hearing this and said, "Do you have any different opinions? Everyone can speak freely. After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. Your Highness and I will listen to everyone's opinions."

As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Jing Hongchen stood up and said: "I think it is best for the war to continue. Your Majesty worked day and night for the war before his death, and made so many preparations. He also added two new soul master legions to prepare for the war. The weapons and equipment of the eight soul master legions."

"With such a huge size, if the war does not continue, the two new soul guide legions will always be a burden to the empire, and those soul guides will still be used after one to twenty years. How many of them are there? How many are of newer generations?"

"Well, what Hall Master Mirror said makes sense. With the empire's current financial expenditure, it is true that it cannot support too many troops for a long time." Su Yu nodded slightly and said, "In addition to what City Master Ming and Hall Master Jing said, you guys Do you have any other comments?"

After all, most of the empire is in the hands of nobles, aristocratic families, officials and courtiers. Take Su Yu as an example. He has a net worth of more than one billion gold soul coins. If he used the full amount to fight, he could fight for several years.

After Su Yu finished speaking, a minister came out and said, "It is normal for me to feel burdened, but it is really not suitable for war now. The new emperor has ascended the throne, and adjustments must be made in all aspects."

"If a large number of armies will cause a burden on the empire's finances, then disband part of the two newly established legions and the eight war-prepared soul guide legions, sell part of the soul guide weapons to soul guide weapons, and leave part for daily consumption .”

"This will not only enrich the empire's treasury, but also allow the legions to use the remaining soul-guided weapons. Not only that, it will also reduce the burden on soul engineers so that they can develop newer soul-guided weapons."

"I object to the decision to sell soul-guided weapons. Excuse me, who are you selling these soul-guided weapons to?" As soon as this person finished speaking, someone immediately stood up to object.

"Of course it's sold to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, who else can it be sold to?" He said with a certain amount of annoyance on his face when he was opposed.

"You are subsidizing the enemy. The soul guidance weapons of these eight soul guidance legions are all the latest soul guidance weapons of the empire, and you are selling them to the Douluo Three Kingdoms. What is this other than subsidizing the enemy? Are you afraid that they will not be able to suppress them? Our latest soul-guided weapon?"

"If they equip their legions and use these soul-guided weapons to attack our Sun and Moon Empire, can you be responsible for those soldiers?"

"If the four army commanders are here, they might be able to skin you. If you don't believe me, try saying this in front of the four soul guide army commanders."

Hearing this, the man suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Don't doubt whether the commanders of the four armies would do such a thing. He might be beaten to death, and no one would stand up for him.

"Okay, since you can speak freely, it doesn't matter if you are wrong. The final decision lies with me and His Highness." Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Su Yu waved his hand to signal them to be quiet.

When everyone heard this, they all rolled their eyes and said that the decision was made together with His Highness, but it was not decided by you.

Although some people were a little dissatisfied with this behavior, there was nothing they could do about it. Putting aside Su Yu's popularity and reputation, let's just say that his strength made them okay with it.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Su Yu looked at an old man and said.

"Old minister, I support the continuation of the war." The first man on the left stood up and said.

"Oh? Prime Minister, tell me your reasons!" Su Yu glanced at the Prime Minister in surprise and said.

"The current situation is indeed not suitable for war, but we have been preparing for war for so long, so naturally we cannot give up." The prime minister analyzed: "Furthermore, since some of you say that it is not suitable for war, then the Douluo Three Kingdoms will also feel that we are not suitable for war. There will be no war under such circumstances."

"Then that's the case, why can't we take them by surprise and attack them unprepared? Attack with lightning speed. If it's fast, in ten days and a half, we can capture most of the borders of the Tianhun Empire and the Star Luo Empire."

"And we also have soul-guided weapons such as soul-guided missiles, so the attack speed will only be faster. In half a month, we may be able to capture the capitals of the Sky Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire."

"As for Shrek Academy and those titled Douluo experts, we have Director Su, so we don't have to worry about these at all."

"So I support continuing the war. If we can't do it in the end, then we can just retreat. Although we have not unified the entire Douluo Continent, we have won this war, and the harvest will be rich."
