Douluo: Becoming a God From Dreaming

Chapter 229 Prince Zhenguo
  Emperor Qinghe's imperial edict had one meaning: to make Princess Xueke the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire and betroth her to the Holy Son King Shenmeng of Wuhun Palace.

At the same time, King Shenmeng was named the Prince of the Kingdom and the General of Shenwu. Together with Princess Xueke, he was responsible for investigating the case of Prince Aosta who violated the laws of the empire, kidnapped civilian girls and trained them into hard-earned business, and all kinds of indiscriminate killings. The tone is to be strict and serious. , no matter who is involved, we will investigate to the end and never tolerate any evil.

As soon as the imperial edict came out, the entire Tiandou City was in an uproar. Some cheered, some cursed, and some panicked. Countless courtiers swarmed into the palace and begged the emperor to take back the order.

The reason is very simple. Emperor Qinghe was in his prime years and was not yet thirty years old. He would definitely have his own heirs in the future. How could his sister be the crown prince?

Not to mention the marriage with Wuhun Palace. If one of them fails, the Tiandou Empire will be annexed by Wuhun Palace. This is simply making fun of Jiangshan Sheji.

It's just that Emperor Qinghe was assassinated last night. It was said that he was seriously injured. When Long Yan was furious, he insisted on finding out the mastermind behind it. Only the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace dared to take over this terrifying task.

Later, Emperor Qinghe was already injured and was seriously injured by an assassination. He was worried that if something happened to him, Princess Xueke would be even more lonely and bullied, so he entrusted it to the Holy Son of Wuhun Palace.

The Holy Son of Wuhundian saved Emperor Qinghe's life. The two had a good relationship. He trusted Wang Shenmeng's character and believed that he could protect his only sister. He made the decision after careful consideration.

Therefore, no matter how much the courtiers tried to persuade him, Emperor Qinghe refused to change his mind, and the matter became a foregone conclusion.

Faced with Xue Qinghe's sudden move to overturn the table without even colluding with outsiders, the big nobles in the country who were involved suddenly panicked.

With the support of Wuhun Palace, Emperor Qinghe's strength immediately increased sharply. The strength of the two sides was already imbalanced. It would be difficult for them to intimidate the emperor with their strength.

Tiandou Auction House, underground secret room.

A group of great nobles gathered together again, but these people no longer had the arrogant and powerful attitude they had last night. Each of them looked gloomy, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Xue Qinghe, he actually colluded with the evil Wuhun Palace. This is traitorous. He is the biggest mole in the Tiandou Empire. He wants to rebel. If we had known today, we should have supported Marshal Ge Long and Prince Xuexing. Eradicate this evil as soon as possible."

The Marquis of Aosta roared angrily, completely different from yesterday.

Everyone frowned, but no one laughed at him.

Because once Emperor Qinghe's wishes were followed and the investigation was carried out sternly, it would not be certain whether others would be fine, but the Marquis of Aosta would be dead.

The young Duke of Oran was the only one among the crowd who was not so panicked. He sneered: "Everyone, does this scare you? This is Tiandou City, not Wuhun City. This is our territory, it's Dragon You have to be crouched by me, even if you are a tiger, you have to be crouched by me. What about the Holy Son of Wuhundian? We just need to deal with the ending and don't let him catch the evidence. How dare he do anything to us? Don't forget , how much strength and influence we have within the empire, once the pressure is too much, we can immediately make the empire full of chaos, make the four kingdoms independent, and plunge the empire into civil strife and division. I can see whether Emperor Qinghe dares to bear this price." Everyone's expressions changed drastically. This was a complete overturning of the table. Once this step was taken, the consequences would be unpredictable. No one wanted to reach this point unless it was absolutely necessary.

Seeing no one responded, the Duke of Oran sneered: "Now that we have reached this point, what are you still worrying about? The emperor has already sharpened his sword against us. Even if we escape this time, what about next time? Then Wang Shenmeng has become the emperor of the empire. Prince Zhenguo has become second only to the emperor and the crown prince. From then on, he can legitimately intervene in the internal affairs and military affairs of the empire. As long as he is around, the emperor can raise the butcher knife again at any time. Are you willing to give up the benefits you have obtained? Have you been living in the shadow of this outsider?"

Everyone's expressions were gloomy and uncertain. Giving up the benefits they had gained was equivalent to cutting their flesh with a knife, which was simply unbearable for them.

Xue Qinghe and Wang Shenmeng, who caused all this, have become the objects of their extreme hatred. If Wang Shenmeng hadn't been too powerful, they would have launched a coup to replace an obedient emperor.

"Well, Duke Oran's words make sense. Let's make two preparations. If Wang Shenmeng doesn't go too far, the worst we can do is give him some benefits. If he can become one of us, then what will happen to us? It's really safe to say that it's totally worth giving up part of the benefits. But if he doesn't know what's good and intimidates us too much, then don't blame us for being violent. Xue Qinghe is not the only one who can flip the table. The big deal Destroy the Tiandou Empire, let the empire collapse and perish, and then we can build a new dynasty."

Another old man, who is as famous as the former Marshal Gelong family and is known as the Tiger family of the empire, the head of the family, Hu Aotian, is another marshal of the empire, and the old man who people respectfully call him Marshal Hu said solemnly.

Their family is also an ancient family with a long history. Although it has not produced a titled Douluo for many years, its heritage and strength are still unfathomable, and there is more than one Contra.

Previously, the Zhanlong family participated in a coup and was exterminated. Among them, the Tiger family made great efforts and killed their old rivals. Their influence in the imperial military was unmatched, which gave him great confidence.

"Shuai Hu is right, we don't have to be afraid of the Wuhun Palace. With an army of one hundred thousand, even if the Titled Douluo comes, they will die. The Wuhun Palace only has a dozen or so Titled Douluo, and we have an army of one million. , what are you afraid of? Moreover, we can contact the Star Luo Empire, Haotian Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and other forces independent of Wuhun Palace, so we don’t need to be afraid of Wuhun Palace at all. If they were really that powerful, they would have unified the continent long ago, and How do you say this is the current situation?”

With the support of Commander Hu, Duke Oran's words were immediately recognized by more people.

A new round of secret discussions began again, and then the major families destroyed evidence of illegal crimes while secretly making preparations to overturn the table.

At this time in Wuhun Palace, Wang Shenmeng suddenly had a new wife and was named Prince of the Kingdom and General of Shenwu. He expressed his confusion.

"You guys, don't look at me like this. I don't know anything. It's just wishful thinking of Emperor Qinghe. He didn't even discuss it with me."

Faced with the angry looks in the eyes of the girls, Wang Shenmeng quickly shifted the blame and put all the blame on Emperor Qinghe. He was also a victim anyway, and he had an additional responsibility for his confusion, and was also pulled into the increasingly violent whirlpool of the Tiandou Empire. among.
