Peerless Tang Sect: Starting from the Sun and Moon Empire

Chapter 203 The old emperor dies and Xu Tianran takes over

Those rebellious nobles who were dissatisfied with Xu Tianran because of the education reform unanimously chose to surrender to Xu Tianran.

Although they were lucky enough to be forgiven by Xu Tianran and were not liquidated, they still gave Xu Tianran a lot of family property, resources, and the right to rule the fiefdom. After these nobles hemorrhaged, Xu Tianran had essentially reached the level of His purpose was to consolidate centralized power.

In fact, without the support of the large number of nobles, the third prince who has formed the power to dominate Mingdu, no matter how to find reasons for himself, he also knows one fact - he basically has no hope of defeating Xu Tianran, even if there are Douluo Three Kingdoms reinforcement.

Moreover, just when the third prince was indecisive and didn't know what to do, an earth-shattering thing happened - the current old emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire passed away.

What happened to the old emperor at this point in time can be said to be normal, but the rebellion of a large number of nobles made the old emperor almost lose his breath and fell into a coma of unknown life and death. After more than ten days of rescue, he still could not be revived. Died.

This made the third prince feel bad. What will happen next after his old father dies?

Sure enough, things were developing rapidly in an unfavorable direction just as the third prince had imagined - seven days after the death of the old emperor, at the end of the state funeral, the imperial edict of Crown Prince Xu Tianran's succession was quickly spread throughout the Sun and Moon Empire.

The third prince was in despair after learning the news. How could Xu Tianran succeed to the throne right after the state funeral?Unless he has the support of all the central forces of the Sun and Moon Royal Family such as the Enshrining Hall, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group, etc., Xu Tianran will never be able to quickly succeed to the throne at this critical juncture.

How can we fight this civil war?Beat the ass!Xu Tianran is no longer a prince, but an emperor!If the third prince continues to launch this joke-like civil war, then he will not be fighting for the throne, but will become a complete rebellion!What does rebellion mean?This means that his army will face the hands of the protector of the country and even the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Group, and he himself may be captured or even assassinated by the top powerhouses around the Consecration Hall and the Prince at any time!

After realizing this fact, the third prince broke into a cold sweat. It seemed that he had no way out.

Continue the civil war?wanna die?
Surrender to Xu Tianran?wanna die?

Is there any way to go?

The third prince knew that, but if he took this path, his life would be destined to be a shameful and useless one.

But if he takes this path of no return - defecting to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, he might still have a chance to sit on the throne of the Sun and Moon Empire in the future. No matter what, this is always a way to survive.

Therefore, the third prince quickly called in his cronies, including Xu Rong and Xu Mochen, to discuss the matter.

During the discussion, everyone's expressions were gloomy. Seeking help from the Douluo Three Kingdoms and defecting to the Douluo Three Kingdoms were completely different concepts. No one thought that the originally bright situation suddenly became so gloomy, as if, Luck was not on their side at all, it was as if everything was gathered on Xu Tianran's side.

But, as said before, there is no way.The option of defecting to the Douluo Three Kingdoms was unanimously agreed upon by everyone. Everyone wanted to survive, and no one would be tempted to attack Xu Tianran, who had the right time, place, and people.

So then, the third prince found the contacts of the Douluo Three Kingdoms in the Sun and Moon Empire, and asked them to assist him in evacuating the forces from the Sun and Moon Empire. With the help of the secret exit locations mastered by several third princes, and Xu Tianran's other Without knowing that the third prince had colluded with the Douluo Three Kingdoms, it would not be difficult for the third prince to withdraw from the Sun and Moon Empire.

In this way, the night after Xu Tianran announced his succession, the third prince led several of his armies, together with the Grand Duke of the North and his group of soul engineers, as well as a few direct nobles who were closely connected with the third prince, all Evacuated the Sun Moon Empire and went to the Star Luo Empire.

To be honest, if he didn't have no choice, the Northern Grand Duke really couldn't bear to give up his large number of northern fiefdoms and run away like a mouse crossing the street with the third prince. But he knew that he, the thorn in the side of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, was in Xu Tianran's eyes. They will definitely be liquidated after taking office.

After the third prince evacuated, the news of his escape reached the Sun and Moon Royal Family. Such behavior of the third prince was severely criticized by all members of the Sun and Moon Royal Family and aroused public outrage.Such behavior can be said to be treason without a doubt, and the four national guardians immediately dispatched to try to block the retreating troops of the third prince.

It's a pity that most of the people have already run away. The blocking operation only captured a few nobles or aristocratic families who didn't have time to escape.

Speaking of aristocratic families, although many noble forces chose to defect to Xu Tianran, those soul master families in Mingdu also followed the third prince Run to the Star Luo Empire with their resources.

After all, nobles have fiefdoms, and aristocratic families that reserve all their resources to store soul tools are more convenient for escaping than nobles.

This is a big loss for the Sun and Moon Empire. Who knows how many soul tools and rare metal resources those escaped families took with them to the Douluo Three Kingdoms. This made Xu Tianran extremely annoyed. This group of Vampires, I don’t know how much trouble they will cause in the future unification war between the Sun and Moon Empire and the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

But fortunately, these vampires did run away. After Xu Tianran came to power, Xu Tianran immediately launched a property raiding operation - all the soul master families in Mingdu, regardless of whether they were treasonous or not, were raided, and even hit the huge and huge Mingdu. The underground black market has taken away a lot of resources.

At the same time, taking advantage of the great opportunity that Xu Tianran had greatly relaxed the policies of the Holy Spirit Sect and the large number of vacancies in the soul master family, the Holy Spirit Sect also made an opportunity to completely re-enter Mingdu. This also gave Huo Yuhao, who had not been deployed for a long time, another opportunity. This gives Holy Spirit Tang Si the opportunity to act as a special agent of the Holy Spirit Cult.

No matter what, the farce-like civil war ended like a farce. After this short civil war, Xu Tianran completely unified the domestic forces of the Sun and Moon Empire, greatly strengthening the centralization of power. Huo Yuhao was also able to control Xu Tianran's Carry out more large-scale soul guidance projects with the support, and do those important things of your own after the projects are finalized and implemented.

The enthronement ceremony of Xu Tianran was very grand. Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao, representatives of Mingdetang, who were Xu Tianran's great backing and strong supporters, also became the most important guests to attend the enthronement ceremony.

In this way, marked by Xu Tianran's ascension, a new era of the Sun and Moon Empire began.
