Chapter 576 Abdication

They say it was Xue Beng's unintentional words in anger at that time, but who can guarantee that Xue Beng will not really do that?

Once he ascends the throne, he will be the emperor of the Tiandou Empire. With the help of the Haotian Sect, even if he messes around, who can stop him?

Although the Qibao Glazed Sect is powerful, soul masters are still human after all, and their manpower will sometimes be exhausted.

Even the two titled Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could not withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, let alone the three thousand soul masters of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

But when the Qibao Glazed Sect and Lu Yuan both fell, the five noble families who controlled the Tiandou Empire's army had all been related to Lu Yuan and the Qibao Glazed Sect before.

Needless to say, three of them, Liehuo, Xuanwu, and Senluo, everyone could tell that they and Lu Yuan were wearing the same pants.

Although the relationship between Ji Feng and Feng Wu is not that close to Lu Yuan, at least Lu Yuan once rescued Ji Luobu and helped Andrew avenge the murder of his wife.

Later, he said a lot of nice things to Lu Yuan in front of Emperor Xue Ye.

However, this is the key. Although Ji Luo Bu and Andrew can say this, speaking for Lu Yuan at that time did not mean that they took refuge in Lu Yuan.

But who knows whether they really haven't surrendered or are pretending not to surrender. The most fearful thing about this kind of thing is that the emperor thinks you have it. As for whether you have it or not, that doesn't matter.

Shishan's face was even more serious, because during the palace seizure, he actually kicked Xue Beng.

Emperors are all small-minded creatures. They may not settle accounts with Shishan as soon as they ascend the throne, but they will definitely settle accounts with Shishan in the future.

In Lu Yuan's previous life, in ancient times, some emperors even had their ministers' tombs removed when their ministers died, and their descendants' homes were confiscated and exiled.

So Shi Shan was scared when he thought about it now, and Yan Xian, Ilusen and others were also worried. After all, they had ruined Xue Beng's good deeds during the palace seizure.

There was a trace of madness in Shishan's eyes at this time, "I don't think Xue Beng is the material to be the emperor. If the Tiandou Empire falls into his hands, I'm afraid it will fall apart and the country will be destroyed!"

"But what can we do now?" Ji Luobu shook his head and said, "Among the only remaining royal heirs, Xue Beng is also qualified to sit on the throne."

"Rob... let me ask you, do you really think Xue Beng can be the emperor?" Shi Shan asked.

Ji Luobu thought about it for a while, but Xue Beng's behavior over the years really had no redeeming qualities other than being a playboy.

Without any achievements in cultivation, prestige, character, determination, governing the country, or fighting in wars, he is really nothing but the son of Emperor Xue Ye.

Although Emperor Xueye was not good at cultivation, he was still very good at governing his subordinates and governing the country, which was why he inherited the throne.

But now it seems that Xue Beng is not very good at serving his subjects and governing the country.

In the original plot, the Tiandou Empire could defeat Wuhun Palace, but Xue Beng is really similar to Liu Chan. He relies on Ge Long for strategic decision-making, Tang San for combat, Yu Xiaogang for command, and Ning Fengzhi for internal affairs.

This is actually an advantage. After all, some emperors like Lu Yuan in his previous life had to ask all the people they didn't know how to deal with and delegate power to loyal ministers to do things. Then it is estimated that they would be able to add a lot of highlights to their emperor's resume. Pen.

However, judging from the current impression Xue Beng has on Ji Luobu and others... well, he doesn't look like the kind of emperor who can delegate power to capable people.

Ji Luobu sighed and had to admit, "Yes, Xue Beng doesn't look like an emperor."

Shi Shan added, "Rob, our five major families have been soldiers and fought for so many years, but we know very well that there are not many things where the incompetence of one general affects the three armies?"

"Remember Sun Qilin back then? Back then, he led the empire's 100,000-strong army and thought he was arrogant. In the end, it was because he was too incompetent and arrogant that he allowed Ren to lead 800 cavalry to defeat the empire's 100,000-strong army and achieve Lei's success. The reputation of grace.”

He said in a deep voice, "If a general's incompetence leads to the destruction of a hundred thousand troops, what will happen if the leader of a country is incompetent? Don't you know?"

Obviously, the eyes of several people present became serious at this time.

They are also generals who have been on the battlefield for many years, so they naturally know this truth.

Especially before this, they had suffered repeated defeats against the Star Luo Empire, but since Lu Yuan came to make plans and lead the troops in battle, they had achieved a great victory in this year that had not been achieved in the previous fifty years.

That goes to show that only with a good boss can we complete our work better.

"And... with Xue Beng's character, if Lord Tianying is liquidated, can we escape?" Shi Shan said with a sneer.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if the old man wants to be liquidated. After all, I am nearly ninety years old now. With no hope of breaking through the title Douluo, I will only have less than ten years to live at most." He said, "But my family What about? What should I, the Xuanwu Clan, do?"

"What about your family? Even if the family will not be liquidated, do you think our family can continue to hold military power in its hands?"

"Without military power, wouldn't the family be at the mercy of others?" Shi Shan said in a deep voice, "Think about it, for the sake of future generations of the family, can you really let him ascend the throne?"

"But besides Xue Beng, who else can inherit the throne of the empire?" Yan Xian sighed and asked.

"Yes!" Shi Shan's eyes were bright, "Don't forget, who led us to reverse the situation again and again, defeating the Star Luo Empire and many powerful enemies! Who led us to survive even though we were put to death!"

"You mean... Mr. Tianying?" Andrew, Yanxian, and Jiluobu were all a little shocked.

Only Illusen was not surprised, but looked very approving of it.

Obviously, he had thought of this candidate before that.

"Old Shi, do you mean..." Andrew, Yanxian and Jiluobu took a deep breath and asked uncertainly.

"That's right, it means to push Duke Tianying to the throne and let the Xue family abdicate in favor of others!" Shi Shan said, "Gong Tianying definitely doesn't want to sit still and wait for death. Plus, he is the hero of our Tiandou Empire. Without Duke Tianying, who would know us? Now he has become the soul beast's food, and he is also a prisoner of the Star Luo Empire!"

"That's right, Lord Tianying has made great contributions and deserves this position. The Xue family should abdicate and give up the position to Lord Tianying!" Illusen also echoed at this time.

When Yan Xian saw this, he didn't hesitate at all. Anyway, his Yan family had originally defected to Lu Yuan and the Qibao Glazed Sect.

He nodded and said, "I think this suggestion is good. Xue Beng is not like a human king. Only Lord Tian Ying can hold this position. Who can match him in terms of academics, martial arts, cultivation, and prestige?"

Immediately, Shishan, Ilusen and Yanxian looked at Andrew and Jiluobu, but they were the only ones who did not express their opinions.

Although the five of them are not in the same spirit and advance and retreat together, they can be regarded as related to each other. After all, they have been comrades on the battlefield for so many years.

Ji Luobu and Andrew knew very well that Shishan, Ilusen and Yanxian wanted to overthrow the Xue family's rule in the Tiandou Empire and then push Lu Yuan to the throne.

This is a complete rebellion!

The Gale family is okay, but the Fengwu family has been favored by the Tiandou royal family for many years.

However, Andrew sighed. As Shi Shan said, they had a good relationship with Lu Yuan. Once Xue Beng succeeded to the throne and liquidated Lu Yuan, there was no guarantee that they would not be liquidated next.

For the sake of future generations of the family, he cannot be too willful and want to be a loyal minister.

The trick of forcing the king and his ministers to die is actually not popular in this world.

Andrew nodded immediately, "I understand. Just like you, I also have to plan for the family. Xue Beng is not like a human king, so I will definitely recommend him to give way to Duke Tianying."

When Ji Luobu saw this, it seemed that there was no point in opposing him at this time, and he did have a better impression of Lu Yuan.

So he said, "In that case, I will also recommend Tianying Gong."

In this way, the five generals who controlled most of the Tiandou Empire's troops all reached a consensus at this moment.

And all this was unknown to Lu Yuan.

…

At this time, Lu Yuan was following Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo to the Tiandou Empire Palace to meet Emperor Xueye, who had just recovered from a serious illness.

The defense of the Tiandou Empire's palace is tighter than before.

The two thousand soul masters who were transferred back to the royal family were all deployed in the palace. There were at least two hundred soul masters patrolling in the vicinity of Emperor Xueye's palace alone.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and Lu Yuan came outside Emperor Xueye's palace to ask for an audience. Soon, the guards sent a message to let the three of them enter the palace.

Not only was Emperor Xue Ye present in the palace, there were also two "acquaintances" of Ning Fengzhi and Lu Yuan, Xue Xing and... Xue Beng.

Xuexing looked quite proud of himself, and the original arrogant and domineering aura on his face became even more arrogant.

There is no doubt that they have been relieved of their status as criminals and reinstated.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Everyone knows that if "Xue Qinghe" falls, the only candidate who can inherit the throne is Xue Beng.

But when Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo saw Xue Beng reappearing in Emperor Xue Ye's palace, their expressions still couldn't help but darken.

However, at this time, Xue Beng stood respectfully beside Emperor Xue Ye with his head bowed. How could he still look like the playboy he had before?

Although Qian Renxue's incarnation as Xue Qinghe concealed it well, didn't Xue Beng and Xue Xing conceal it even better?

No matter what the process is, they are the final winners.

There is no doubt that Xue Beng is the only heir to Emperor Xue Ye.

After Emperor Xueye passes away, he will become the master of the Tiandou Empire.

Emperor Xue Ye seems to be quite energetic, with a rosy complexion and a good complexion. If he didn't know the inside story, he would probably think that he is very healthy now.

But in fact, Emperor Xueye was definitely losing both energy and blood, and his breathing rhythm was very unstable and short, which showed that his vitality was constantly disappearing.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo and Lu Yuan all knew that in less than ten days, Emperor Xueye would be completely exhausted and die.

"See your Majesty." No matter what, Ning Fengzhi and Lu Yuan saluted Emperor Xueye.

Only Sword Douluo stood there with a calm expression and no need to salute at all.

Emperor Xueye couldn't see any expression at this time, he just smiled and said: "Sect Master Ning and Lu Yuan, you don't have to be polite. Come and show me Sect Master Ning, Lu Yuan and Senior Sword Douluo."

After the three of them sat down, he said, "You must already know about my situation."

There was no need for Ning Fengzhi and Lu Yuan to avoid this matter, so they both nodded.

"Now only Xue Beng can inherit the throne. I know you have had some grievances before." Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Beng, then at them, and sighed.

Xue Beng's face became more and more humble, as if he didn't care about what happened before.

"But, those were all misunderstandings, and they were all done by the insiders of Wuhun Palace, so I think that the past things should be forgotten. Those were Xue Beng's unintentional words and should not be taken seriously." Emperor Xue Ye said. .

Before Lu Yuan and Ning Fengzhi could express their opinions, he said to Xue Beng, "Xue Beng, don't you have something to say to Lu Yuan and Sect Master Ning?"

Xue Beng hurriedly responded, quickly walked down from Emperor Xue Ye, and took a few steps to Lu Yuan and Ning Fengzhi.

Lu Yuan sneered in his heart, as expected, the method was exactly the same as the original plot.

But Ning Fengzhi was shocked.

Just when Ning Fengzhi didn't know what he was going to do, the newly-promoted Crown Prince suddenly fell to his knees and bowed before Lu Yuan and Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi was startled. His reaction was so fast. He moved his chair three feet sideways in an instant, avoiding Xue Beng. He quickly stood up and went to help Xue Beng.

"Your Highness, why are you doing this?"

However, Xue Beng refused to get up, and said persistently: "Sect Master Ning, and General Lu, please accept my bow. Otherwise, Xue Beng will never have peace of mind in his life. In order to protect himself, he angered Sect Master Ning and Lu Jiang several times. , but you saved my father from danger. Whether as a son or as a minister, I should bow to you on behalf of my father and myself."

Emperor Xueye sighed again and said, "Just accept his worship. This is what he should do. I have suffered so much for this child these years. It's my fault that I didn't see that Qinghe was faked." . I have a total of five sons, but four of them were killed by Wuhun Palace, and only Xue Beng is left."

"The next thing I want to think about is that you, Feng Zhi, are still the prince's teacher. Let the child Xue Beng be your teacher again, and Lu Yuan, you are still the prince's uncle. Qingqing's engagement with the royal family will continue, and the wedding will also remain. After the national mourning, there will be Qingqing and Xuebeng’s wedding ceremony, what do you think?”

He seemed to be asking Ning Fengzhi and Lu Yuan for their opinions. In fact, it was more like an order, forcing Ning Fengzhi and Lu Yuan to submit.

At this moment, Xue Beng, who was originally kneeling and humble, had a hint of pride flashing deep in his eyes.

Didn't you, Lu Yuan, say that I'm not worthy of your sister? He also said that Tiger Girl An is willing to marry Quanzi, and now you are going to let your beloved sister be delivered to Quanzi, who you despise, in person!

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "With all due respect, Your Majesty, it would be better to just forget about Qingqing's engagement now!"

Emperor Xue Ye and Xue Beng were immediately stunned, and Xue Beng's smug eyes became particularly vicious at this moment.

Emperor Xue Ye also didn't expect that Lu Yuan would be so stubborn and reject him directly!

Come on, come on, have a birthday banquet today, take a day off, update tomorrow, and then rebel!
