Chapter 214 Avalanche Emperor
Xue Beng sat in Yuexuan, protected by a group of Haotian Sect disciples, walking in the palace with anticipation and anxiety.
He headed towards Emperor Xue Ye's palace, preparing to carry out some ulterior and major conspiracy that was contrary to human ethics.
A thin young man wearing a black ancient robe appeared on the road in front of him, causing Xue Beng to change his expression.
The pointed soft hat, monocle, and other iconic features show this young man's identity, Duke Amon!
He made deals with the Star Luo Empire and the Star Dou Forest, and planned to betray the people in the near future.
"Good night, Duke Amon." Xue Beng forced a smile.
"Good night, Your Highness Xue Beng, where are you going?" Amon had a joking smile on his face.
Xue Beng replied somewhat unnaturally: "I'm going to visit my father."
"It's not like you're going to visit Emperor Xueye's formation, and it's so late, so it's not the time to visit."
Xue Beng took a deep breath and explained: "These are disciples of the Haotian Sect and have considerable experience in treating diseases, so when I met them, I eagerly brought them here.
"I really can't bear to see my father paralyzed on the bed in such pain, even for a minute... Every time I see him like that, it feels like a needle is pricking my heart.
"Presumably, Your Majesty the Duke, you should understand a child's desire to be filial to his father, right?"
Amon had a smile on his lips: "Yes, I understand... but your brother, Xue Qinghe, is also very filial... I have no intention of interfering, but the waiting time is a bit boring, so why not give me the 'Boundless Sea Cosmic Cover' to study and pass it by?" Some time."
Xue Beng replied without hesitation: "Yes, I will send someone to deliver it to the Duke tomorrow."
"Oh, that's not necessary. I know His Highness Xue Beng has always been generous and will definitely agree, so I have already obtained it in advance."
Amon took out a palm-sized three-dimensional triangular object that was crystal clear blue and exuded strange energy fluctuations, and played with it in his hand.
Xue Beng's mouth twitched, and he secretly thought that after he sat on the throne, he must raise the protection level of the royal treasury to another level, so that no one could steal the contents casually.
"Then I'll leave first. I won't disturb His Highness Xue Beng. You can go and show your filial piety to His Majesty." Amon raised his right hand, stroked his monocle, and said with a chuckle.
Xue Beng passed by Amon and hurried to the room where Emperor Xue Ye was.
Xue Ye was lying in bed, with only his eyes still able to move. He watched Xue Beng rush in with a bunch of people regardless of the obstruction of the palace servants who served him. He guessed what the other party was about to do, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Sadness, and a touch of relief.
"Father, father...why did you go there?" As soon as Xue Beng got close to the wooden bed where Emperor Xue Ye was lying, he threw himself over and cried loudly.
"Your Majesty!" The minister who came with Xue Beng also knelt on the ground with a look of sadness on his face.
The disciples of the Haotian Sect watched the two men's performances with a trace of disdain in their eyes.
Xue Beng and the minister of the suan wailed for a while, and the minister of the suan suddenly said: "Your Highness Xue Beng, please express your condolences. I have here a copy of the edict left by your majesty..."
Before the minister of admonishment could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked ahead in horror.
On the bed, Emperor Xueye, who was supposed to be seriously ill, suddenly sat up and looked at the two of them angrily.
It was Amon, who stole Xue Ye's "poisoned state". He watched this scene with interest from the perspective of a palace maid.
"Life always requires some fun." He raised the corners of his mouth and whispered to himself.
Xue Beng looked at his father with the same horror, took a few steps back, and sat down on the ground.
Xue Ye's eyes seemed to burst out with fire, and he said angrily: "Guizi! I originally thought it was Qinghe, but I didn't expect it was you!"
Xue Ye also blamed Xue Beng for poisoning himself and causing his paralysis.
"Father...Father..." Xue Beng stammered.
"Have you finally exposed your wolfish ambition? I really don't understand why you did this? When the Star Luo Empire is launching a massive attack, what good will it do you to poison me?" Xue Ye left the bed and stood up.
An invisible aura emanated from him, making people feel heavy in their hearts. This was not the soul pressure caused by the burst of soul power from a high-level soul master, but the unique aura of a person in a high position.
This is really not what I did... Xue Beng knew that no matter how he tried to explain, it would be in vain. After the initial panic, he calmed down and shouted to the people of the Haotian Sect: "Quick, kill him!"
"My dear Tang Ye, the second generation disciple of the Haotian Sect... I have offended you, Your Majesty." The leader on the side of the Haotian Sect revealed his martial spirit, and a dark hammer appeared in his hand.
"Haotian Sect? Huh..." Xue Ye snorted coldly, "When you came to Tiandou and sealed the sect, I didn't care about your support for Xingluo. I didn't expect that you would dare to interfere in the internal affairs of my royal family. . When this incident is over, I will send an army to uproot you."
Xue Ye exuded the aura of Contra, which made the people of Haotian Sect shrink their pupils. They underestimated the strength of this emperor.
"Let's attack together." Tang Ye shouted and took the lead in launching the attack.
This is the palace after all. Emperor Xueye only needs to hold on for a moment before countless guards will arrive.
Tang Ye directly used the weapon soul's true body, and the Haotian Hammer suddenly grew in size, making a whirring sound as it rotated.
With one blow, Xue Ye's upper body was smashed into a pool of flesh, and blood and flesh splattered all over the room.
"Ah, this?" Tang Ye looked at Xue Ye, who only had the lower half of his body left, and was a little at a loss.
The soul power that had just erupted from Xue Ye was already very close to the level of a Titled Douluo. He treated him as a great enemy, so he didn't hold back at all, but what was going on?
Amon, who was hiding in the dark, had a smile on his face as if he had succeeded in a prank. At the last moment, he returned the "poisoning state".
Xue Beng was happy to see Tang Ye kill Xue Ye, but then his face darkened again. This room full of "fathers" gave him a headache.
Xue Ye only had half of his body left, and it was hard to believe that he died of natural illness!
But the minister Xuan Li patted his chest and said it didn't matter, just leave it to him.
Then, without saying a word, he cut a palace servant in half, spliced his upper body with Xue Ye's lower body, and then put on a dragon robe for the corpse.
They cleaned up the palace and executed all the palace servants who were present.
At the court meeting the next day, the minister of rites read out Xue Ye's will, and Xue Beng put on the crown and sat on the throne.
Due to the killing of Haotian Sect, the officials under Xue Qinghe were cleared out, and there were fewer people attending the court meeting, and the whole hall seemed unusually deserted.
No one dared to raise any objections. Xue Beng's ruthlessness intimidated them, which made the coronation ceremony seem unusually smooth.
Xue Beng hurriedly held a funeral for Xue Ye. The funeral was very simple, even inferior to that of an ordinary little noble.
At night, Xue Beng, who had hurriedly dealt with various things, came to Shrek Academy.
"Master, what should I do next? Under what name should I issue a wanted order for Duke Amon?" Xue Beng asked.
Yu Xiaogang, who was covered in a black robe, smiled gently:
"The war of nearly two years has made the people in the country miserable, and anti-war sentiment is extremely high. No matter what the reason, as long as the war can be ended, the people will support it.
"As long as you can reduce taxes, end the current turmoil, and let the people return to their previous lives, then you will be a good emperor in their minds and can win their support.
"They only care about their own jobs, and everything else is secondary. Even if you sacrifice some people and give up some people for the sake of a ceasefire, the remaining people will become your loyal supporters."
Avalanche held his chin, thinking. He was ready to bear the infamy for a lifetime, but after hearing what Yu Xiaogang said, it seems that he can still be a good emperor?
Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, and then continued: "Duke Amon is the culprit of this war. Not only ordinary people, but also many soul masters hate him. In fact, you can find any reason without causing too much opposition.
"But since you asked, then arrest him for 'theft' and 'fraud'...
"Amon stole the treasures of the Xingdou Great Forest, so it attracted the beast tide. He deceived Emperor Xue Ye and took away the Blue Dragon Territory with shameless means, causing the Xingluo Empire to declare war on us...
"There will not be much resistance to peace talks with the Xingluo Empire, but when signing a peace treaty with the Xingdou Great Forest, you need to take care of the feelings of the soul masters.
"So, you have to first promote those soul beasts with complete intelligence, that is, soul beasts over 100,000 years old, who are emotionally no different from humans and can coexist peacefully with us.
"At the same time, it should also be emphasized that it was Amon who first violated the taboos of the beasts, which led to revenge. This will reduce the soul masters' resentment towards the beasts and reduce their worries about being retaliated by the beasts when hunting soul rings in the future. "
"Xue Beng has learned from you." Xue Beng bowed respectfully and then asked, "Master, are you willing to be my royal servant? I promise you the position of the emperor's teacher and I am willing to be his disciple."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Since you have invited me so kindly, I will not refuse."
Xue Beng showed a happy expression on his face, bowed respectfully again, and shouted, "Teacher."
He then said to the attendant beside him, "Pass on my order to confer Yu Xiaogang the title of national teacher, enjoy the title of duke, and do not bow to the emperor."
"Yes." The attendant responded immediately.
"Wait, it's too early now, and announce it later." Yu Xiaogang stopped him.
"Yes, teacher, I will listen to you. "
Xue Beng would worship Yu Xiaogang as his master, not only because he saw Yu Xiaogang's talent, but more importantly, because he saw the huge power of Shrek Academy.
The son of Haotian Douluo, the prince of Xingluo Empire, Yu Xiaogang who has connections with fierce beasts, and many outstanding graduates from Shrek Academy.
Such a powerful force, if not contained, will probably be the next Wuhun Hall. But now we need to rely on their power and cannot offend them.
So Xue Beng thought of joining if he couldn't beat them, first put on a layer of Shrek's skin, and then win over and divide its internal forces.
It will turn Shrek, a future threat, into a boost for its own development and growth.
The two sides communicated for a long time, until late at night, Xue Beng returned to the palace.
Yu Xiaogang looked at his back with a deep look in his eyes.
"The crime of theft, huh, this is quite consistent with his nickname of 'thief duke'." Flanders walked in and said with a smile.
"It's not that you keep saying 'thief duke' in my ear all day long, Boss Flanders. "Yu Xiaogang's expression was a little stiff.
Flanders' mouth corners slowly lifted up, outlining a smile.
