Chapter 261 The Throne Ceremony
Chapter 261 The Throne Ceremony
The next day, all the ministers and royal servants of the Xingluo Palace gathered together, solemnly awaiting the arrival of the Xingluo Emperor, who would take the top seat.
A few minutes later, Dai Tian rode the dragon and walked to the dragon throne. He looked up at the people below and found that the people who should have arrived were exactly the same. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Emperor Xue Ye passed away three days ago. Today, Tiandou's border defenses are empty, and the internal factions are clearly divided. This is a good opportunity for us to seize the city. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
Dai Tianyu came up and directly stated the timing, indicating that he had already thought of sending troops to capture the city. Some ministers who were good at observing people's words and expressions had already begun to speak out to echo the emperor's intentions.
The chief royal priest, Dai Tianyu's uncle, the level 88 Soul Douluo Dai Qianming frowned slightly. After the discussions in the hall died down, he slowly bowed and walked to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, the Spirit Hall now dominates the continent, and has a large number of Titled Douluo. It has long been eyeing the two empires. Isn't it a bad idea to attack Tiandou now?"
Under the leadership of Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall has developed quite well in recent years, which has made Xue Ye and Dai Tianyu full of vigilance. The border between the two countries has also ushered in a rare peace. Now that Dai Tianyu advocates sending troops to attack Tiandou, these priests are still a little nervous.
"I understand what the High Priest means, but this is a God-given opportunity. The spies on the border have already found out that several Soul Douluo guards on the other side have already rushed back to Tiandou to participate in the fight for the throne. This is the time when the defense of the Tiandou Empire is the weakest."
“If we wait until Xueqinghe or the avalanche gain a foothold, it won’t be so easy to encounter such an opportunity.”
"As long as we take down several cities on the Tiandou border with lightning speed, I don't think the Spirit Hall will be able to react. Do they plan to directly gather troops to attack our Xingluo?"
"Besides, are we just going to let Tianxing's revenge go?"
"This"
After pondering for a moment, Dai Qianming returned to his seat, indicating that he neither agreed nor opposed the matter.
In this way, the last resistance disappeared, and Dai Tianyu also issued the order to prepare to march, and he would start on the day Xue Qinghe ascended the throne. It could be regarded as a great gift from his elder to him for his ascension to the throne.
The entire Star Luo Empire was like a machine, running at high speed.
Military supplies and food were transported to the border, and people with some insight understood that war was coming.
In the Tiandou Empire's Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue was the first to learn about the Xingluo Empire's movements from the spies. She sneered and said to Ning Bei beside her:
"I was originally thinking about what excuse I could use to send troops to Xingluo after ascending the throne, but Dai Tianyu brought the excuse to me himself."
"Oh, Dai Tianyu is also a short-sighted person. Given the current situation on the continent, he still dares to start a war between the two empires. He is really a gamble that forgets the greater good for the sake of small profits."
Ning Bei did not comment on this. Anyway, Xingluo was nothing special in his eyes. Even if Dai Tianyu did not take the initiative to invade Tiandou, he would not let the little angel jump around for too long once he had established his foothold.
When the time comes, a wave of beasts will come directly from the Xingluo border of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Three days later, Tiandou City gradually became lively. People quickly forgot the death of the old emperor and prepared to welcome the arrival of the new emperor.
Xue Qinghe dressed up in her best attire and appeared in the royal cemetery. After bringing all the ministers to pay homage to their ancestors, she came to the Golden Throne Hall.
As time passed, all the important guests appeared. Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo came to watch the ceremony on behalf of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Ju Douluo of the Spirit Hall came to watch the ceremony on the orders of Pope Bibi Dong.
Afterwards, envoys sent by the three major educational committees of the Royal Academy and various kingdoms also entered the palace one by one.
Qian Renxue, dressed as Xue Qinghe, maintained a standard fake smile from beginning to end, and her face was almost stiff. It seemed that after the ceremony, she would need Ning Bei's help to relax her facial muscles.
The smile on the little angel's face slowly faded when the last few people arrived at the hall. Xue Xing brought Prince Xue Beng, the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, Yu Yuanzhen, and the three Soul Douluo guards on the border of the Tiandou Empire into the Golden Throne Hall together.
The little angel's eyes instantly met Avalanche's, both of them filled with murderous intent and confidence.
The little angel in the imperial crown walked up to the group of people with a forced smile and bowed.
"Qinghe has met Master Yu and the Emperor's uncle."
"Yeah." Yu Yuanzhen nodded as a greeting to Xue Qinghe, while Xue Xing showed a sarcastic look on his face.
"Qinghe, don't you understand that you shouldn't even think about taking something that doesn't belong to you?"
"Really? Uncle Emperor means that the eldest son, who is both virtuous and talented, is not as suitable as the second son, who is a playboy, to inherit the throne, right?"
Xue Xing's expression froze, and after a cold snort, she didn't want to talk to Xue Qinghe anymore.
"Humph, I will not argue with you. The right and wrong will be revealed soon."
"Haha, what the emperor's uncle meant by right or wrong is to privately mobilize border defense generals, right?"
"Do you know that the Xingluo Empire has decided to send troops to Tiandou?"
The little angel glanced coldly at the three Soul Douluos behind Xue Xing. The three of them avoided his gaze guiltily. Xue Xing quickly stopped in front of the three and said nonchalantly:
"In order to ensure the orthodoxy of the royal family, some sacrifices are absolutely necessary."
The two men's eyes met, and their expressions intertwined in the air into invisible lightning. The scene was filled with gunpowder for a moment.
It was the royal family member who was in charge of the situation who stepped forward and separated the two people.
"Xue Xing, now is the coronation ceremony of the new emperor. If there is anything, wait until everything is over before discussing it. I hope you will consider the overall situation."
"Humph."
After snorting coldly at Xue Qinghe again, Xue Xing led his group to chat with the distinguished guests in the hall and no longer paid attention to what was happening here.
As time passed, the chosen auspicious time arrived, and the royal family hurried to the center of the hall and began to announce the start of the coronation ceremony.
After Xue Qinghe offered incense to the heaven, the royal family ordered the eunuchs to bring out the emperor's crown, ready for him to wear it.
Just as the royal family member picked up the crown from the tray, an untimely voice rang out in the hall.
Everyone had different expressions, some were surprised, some were prepared, and some were angry, and all their eyes were focused on Prince Xuexing.
The clan member who presided over the ceremony looked displeased and shouted:
"Xue Xing, what's the matter with you? Why do you have to cause trouble at this time? If you can't explain it, I will not let you go."
Xue Xing didn't care about the rebuke from the clan members at all, and said calmly:
"Humph, what is the crime of poisoning the emperor and the prince?"
"This"
A hint of surprise appeared on the royal family's face, and then his eyes swept over Xue Qinghe who was about to accept the crown in front of him.
"But I heard with my own ears that the throne was passed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before the late emperor passed away. If, as you said, the late emperor was poisoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then why did His Majesty Xue Ye issue this order?"
"Humph, Your Majesty didn't know who had done the murder. If my brother had known that it was this ungrateful wolf's trick, why would he have made him emperor?"
Xue Xing's words made the clan member hesitate. Xue Qinghe patted his shoulder soothingly and turned to look at Xue Xing.
"Uncle, everything must be based on evidence. If you have no evidence, then please forgive Qinghe for being unreasonable."
"Humph, I certainly have the evidence."
"Someone! Bring it up here."
