Douluo: The Return of the Holy Emperor, the beginning of the liquidation of Bibi Dong

Chapter 26 Chapter 26: Gu Moran ascends the throne, Tang San is worried.

Gu Moran searched the entire palace and found a close attendant who was familiar with Emperor Xue Ye's handwriting. He asked the attendant to forge a succession edict for him, and then stamped the edict with the imperial seal.

With the forged edict of succession and the imperial seal in hand, Gu Moran began to integrate the imperial guards and soul masters in the palace and took control of the entire palace.

The next day, the news of Emperor Xue Ye's death spread throughout Tiandou City. Although the nobles had known that Emperor Xue Ye had been poisoned, they did not expect that he would get into trouble so soon.

The death of the emperor meant that the throne was vacant, and they almost all believed that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would succeed to the throne.

However, to everyone's surprise, the successor was not Xue Qinghe, but the Judgement Elder Gu Moran of the Spirit Hall. This caused the nobles to be astonished and ponder.

As the contents of the will were announced, the Tiandou nobles finally learned the reason.

Under Gu Moran's modification, the person who poisoned Emperor Xue Ye changed from Qian Renxue to Tang San and Dugu Bo, and the person who usurped the throne also changed from Qian Renxue to Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing, and his life experience was explained in the will.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was brutally murdered by Tang San and his gang, Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing were executed during their rebellion, and finally Gu Moran inherited the throne.

Some nobles questioned Yu Gu Moran's royal bloodline, but with the testimony of the soul guide used by the royal family specifically to test bloodlines, it was proved that he was indeed a direct descendant of the Tiandou royal family and was the father of Emperor Xue Ye.

Now that all the princes of Tiandou have been killed, and Prince Xuexing's lineage has also died out, although there are other members of the royal family, in terms of bloodline, Gu Moran is still the only candidate to inherit the throne.

As for Princess Xue Ke, no one considered her at all.

Although most of the nobles did not approve of Gu Moran's ascension to the throne, they had to obey the will.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Gu Moran himself is very powerful. If they oppose him, they may not see the sun tomorrow.

In order to ascend the throne of Tiandou as soon as possible, Gu Moran chose to hold the coronation ceremony on the same day and invited all civil and military officials to the palace to pay homage.
Soon, the news that Gu Moran inherited the throne of Tiandou spread throughout the continent, shocking all forces in the world.

Shrek Academy.

Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Tang San and others gathered together. They were also very surprised. This was different from what they expected.

They never expected that Gu Moran would actually be the biological son of Emperor Xue Ye, and what puzzled them the most was that Emperor Xue Ye would actually pass the throne to him, to him, a member of the Spirit Hall!
He also slandered them as the ones who poisoned him.

Tang San immediately guessed that this was not the real will of Emperor Xue Ye, but was definitely a forgery.

But even if it was a fake, it would be difficult for them to expose it. After all, Gu Moran was an Extreme Douluo with a soul power of level ninety-nine, the best soul master on the continent, and those nobles would not dare to disobey him.

"Master Tang, as the prince's tutor, I am also a member of the officials. I will go to the palace to find out the details first."

Ning Fengzhi spoke up and said that he was also worried about the safety of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect disciples in the palace, and he was afraid that they were in great danger.

"Then it's Sect Master Lao Ning." Tang San nodded.

Bone Douluo followed Ning Fengzhi and left Shrek Academy together, but Tang San had an uneasy feeling, vaguely feeling that something big was about to happen.

He believed in his sixth sense very much, and immediately gathered all the hall masters of the Tang Sect and the teachers of Shrek Academy to discuss evacuating Tiandou City.

Since Gu Moran regarded them as traitors in the forged edict, he would definitely raise an army to attack them. They could not just sit there and wait for death in Tiandou City.

But when Tang San thought of Gu Moran, he felt a surge of resentment and unwillingness in his heart, but when he thought of his terrifying strength, he felt powerless.

If he wants to rescue Xiao Wu and Teacher Liu Erlong and take back the Ruyi Treasure Bag, his own strength is not enough and he needs the help of the Haotian Sect.

…………

The sun was high above the palace, shining brightly, and the sky was clear and cloudless. In the Tiandou Palace, outside the Zhongtian Hall, which had its doors tightly closed, stood a full army of five hundred imperial guards.

They had their backs to the Zhongtian Palace, wearing swan-gold armor, holding spears, looking majestic, standing like pine trees, looking straight ahead, and extremely solemn.

In the large open space in front of the palace, swan flags were flying, and all the civil and military officials, including Ning Fengzhi, and the great nobles of Tiandou stood in line, their eyes focused on the gate of Zhongtian Palace.

A moment later, as the palace gate opened from the outside to the inside, a figure dressed in a heavy red and gold imperial robe appeared. He wore a twelve-tassel crown on his head, and bright red jade beads hung down, covering most of his cheeks, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly.

When Gu suddenly took his first step out of Zhongtian Hall, the official in charge of the enthronement ceremony shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty is here!"

At the sound of "Your Majesty has arrived", the guards turned around at the same time, their armor creaked, and they knelt on one knee, showing utmost respect.

Gu Moran walked out of the Zhongtian Hall on a red carpet with gold patterns, with her skirt trailing behind her as long as three meters. She was followed by four beautiful maids, holding four items in their hands, namely the imperial seal, the national sword, the golden statue of a swan, and the incense burner for offering sacrifices to heaven.

The ceremonial official held the imperial edict in his hand and continued to shout, "Here is the imperial edict, all officials, listen to it!"

Civil and military officials as well as a number of nobles knelt down one after another.

Under the witness of all officials, the ceremonial officer read out the edict of succession.

Gu Moran also walked to the steps, stopped, opened his hands and raised them, and raised his head slightly, revealing the majesty of an emperor, noble and arrogant.

He swept his eyes over all the civil and military officials and spoke slowly, his voice full of majesty.

"I am now inheriting the imperial cause and ascending the throne for the first time. I must strictly abide by virtue and respect the ways of my ancestors. I hope that from now on, the monarch and his subjects will work together to support the country and protect it for eternity!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the guards and officials spoke at the same time, their voices respectful, echoing inside and outside the palace.

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Amidst the shouts of "Long live the emperor", Gu Moran officially ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Tiandou, named "Emperor Taihao the Great".

However, among all the coronation ceremonies of Tiandou emperors in history, Gu Moran's was the simplest one. The reason was that it was too hasty and there was no time to prepare. Representatives from other kingdoms on the continent did not come, nor did the Pope, and there was not even a single gift.

After the coronation ceremony, all the officials followed Gu Moran to the Ceremonial Hall.

Gu Moran sat upright on the throne, looking down at the civil and military officials.

A whip-blasting attendant beside the throne raised the whip in his hand and lashed the ground three times, with the timing and sound exactly the same, and then shouted in a shrill voice:
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

All the civil and military officials looked at Gu Moran sitting on the throne, each with their own ulterior motives. Although they all suspected that there was something wrong with the edict of succession, none of them dared to speak out.

Rather than caring about who sits on that position, they care more about their own interests. Even if there is a pig sitting on the throne, they don't mind as long as their own interests are not harmed.

Of course, among a bunch of idlers, there are naturally some doers.

A middle-aged man in armor stood up. He was the Grand Marshal of the Tiandou Empire, Goron.
