Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 161 Snow Night, Xue Qinghe, Xue Ke

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Imperial City, Imperial Palace.

Xue Qinghe sat in his study, using his rare spare time to enrich himself by reading books.

This kind of time is not much for him.

As the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, the most trusted eldest prince of Emperor Xue Ye, Xue Ye would entrust Xue Qinghe to do many things, and Xue Qinghe would never disappoint his father's expectations, and did everything very well. outstanding.

Therefore, after Emperor Xue Ye felt that his body was becoming more and more unwell due to his age, he gradually delegated more authority to Xue Qinghe, allowing Xue Qinghe to get in touch with state affairs more and interact with more important state officials.

I hope that in the future, Xue Qinghe can inherit his will and become the real emperor of Tiandou Empire, who can decide the world with one word.

As the most outstanding emperor of the Tiandou Empire in the past few generations, Xue Ye clearly knew the current situation of the "outside the strong but the middle" in the Tiandou Empire.

Although the Heaven Dou Empire is a super empire that can rival the Star Luo Empire on a par with the Star Luo Empire, and can overwhelm all forces except the Star Luo Empire and Wuhundian, but in Xue Ye's eyes, these are just illusions.

The Star Luo Empire has become more and more extreme and terrifying under the leadership of that madman over the years.

Everyone basically fixed the future at birth and was placed in the most suitable position for them. The whole country was running at high speed with his own will, and power was firmly held in his hands in a highly centralized manner.

And the emperor of Xingluo has never been the one who is content with the status quo, and the inheritance method of their entire country has caused a problem, that is, the emperor of Xingluo cannot tolerate anyone who may be able to compete with him.

He will destroy his opponent in any way.

Before his succession, his opponents were other princes, but after his succession, he would be the Heaven Dou Empire.

If it weren't for the strong obstruction of the Spirit Hall, Xue Ye felt that the huge Heaven Dou Empire might have been ruthlessly smashed to pieces by Xing Luo many years ago.

However, Wuhundian is not a charitable force. From Xue Ye's point of view, Wuhundian's previous pope and this current pope are all ambitious guys.The reason why they help the Heaven Dou Empire is only because the current situation is more conducive to the status and development of the Spirit Hall.

Although Spirit Hall is the "sacred place" in the minds of all soul masters on the mainland, as the highest leader of a country, Xue Ye will naturally not look at Spirit Hall from the perspective of a soul master.

From Xue Ye's point of view, the Heaven Dou Empire, which now needs the help of the Spirit Hall, is tantamount to drinking poison to quench its thirst, but he has no other way.

As the external situation is, the internal situation of the Heaven Dou Empire is also not optimistic.

Although as the emperor of a country, the power in Xue Ye's hands is actually very limited.Unlike the emperor of the Star Luo Empire and the pope of the Wuhun Temple, the power of the Heaven Dou Empire is distributed among various nobles.

Take the Four Principalities as an example. Although Xue Ye can interfere with the selection of their king and the strategy of governing the country, the king still has a lot of autonomy. Not only can they formulate tax laws independently, they can even have their own army .

The same is true of the power within the empire. The great nobles hold important positions in the empire. If you sing and I will appear on the stage, the great nobles are simply twisted into a rope in the fight against the imperial power, and the imperial power is limited.

All in all, within the Heaven Dou Empire, there are military principalities that are "separated" from all directions, and in the center there are big nobles who hold power but have no military power.

Thinking of these, Xue Ye had a very headache.

Coupled with the two sons who died of poisoning in the previous year, Xue Ye was very vigilant in her heart.

Was it an assassination from the Star Luo Empire?Or a struggle within the empire?

Xue Ye didn't know.

Over the years, Xue Ye has worked hard to suppress the momentum of the local area, divided part of their military power and brought it back to the central government, and found an opportunity to ban the power of several big nobles, returning it to the emperor or distributing it to the small ones who supported the imperial power. noble.

But this is far from enough, Xue Ye is very clear.

Therefore, when Xue Qinghe was still young, Xue Ye made a very bold decision to appoint Ning Fengzhi, the suzerain of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as the crown prince and tutor.Add an outsider to the center of power in the Heaven Dou Empire, and ask Ning Fengzhi, who is equally ambitious, to help him divide the power of the great nobles.

Moreover, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School is the top three sects, and its power and influence are beyond doubt. Let Xue Qinghe help Xue Qinghe. After Xue Qinghe officially ascends the throne, with the help of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, he can more easily restrain the dispersed power within the empire.

Undoubtedly, this is also very dangerous. Introducing outsiders to resolve internal conflicts is easy to be plucked from the fruits of victory.But Xue Ye believed in the means of herself and Xue Qinghe, and if it really developed to that point, I believe that not only the royal family, but even the nobles and the Wuhun Palace would join hands to stop Ning Fengzhi.

And Xue Qinghe's performance these years made Xue Ye believe that he would be a more powerful monarch than herself.

I am already old now, and have lost the courage of my youth, so I will maintain the current situation for him, and then let him be the greatest emperor in the history of Tiandou.

In the study room, Xue Qinghe put down the book in his hand, looked up at the door, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door, it was the brisk footsteps of a young girl innocently.

"Da da da~"

In Xue Qinghe's somewhat joyful eyes, the door was opened from the outside, but there was no one there.Standing up and walking towards the door, Xue Qinghe looked at the right side of the door with a smile on his face, and said:
"Huh? Who is it? Why are you looking for the prince?"

"Wow!"

Just when Xue Qinghe was about to reach the gate, a girl with short hair jumped out from the right side of the gate.

She was wearing a white uniform skirt, embroidered with exquisite patterns, complex and noble, covering the girl's already sizable and exquisite figure, with a smile on her face somewhat similar to Xue Qinghe's, full of vigor, A pair of eyes like autumn water have also turned into a glistening crescent moon at this moment.

"Ah~"

Seeing that his dearest little sister was trying to scare him again, Xue Qinghe jumped back cooperatively and cried out.

Seeing her favorite elder brother was startled by herself again, Xue Ke was obviously very proud, and laughed like a light bell.

"Brother, why are you still so timid, you are always scared by me."

Seeing that she was successful in the battle, Xue Ke couldn't help but teach her elder brother a lesson.

"Isn't that because Xue Ke hid you well? I didn't notice you hiding behind the door at all." Lovingly stroking Xue Ke's short hair, Xue Qinghe opened his eyes and spoke nonsense.

The naive Xue Ke didn't realize that Xue Qinghe was lying to her, or she discovered it but pretended not to.Patting away the hand of her elder brother touching her head, Xue Ke pretended to be a mature adult:

"Brother, you can't do this. In the future, you will take over the heavy responsibility from the father. How can you be so vigilant? There is no way. It seems that your smart and cute little sister Xue Ke, I, will train you La!"

"Okay, okay, then please Xue Ke!" Xue Qinghe also cooperated with his favorite little girl.

"By the way, what's the matter with you looking for me? Usually you don't pick this time to come to me."

Hearing her elder brother's words, Xue Ke puffed up her small mouth, like a swollen puffer fish, and stared straight at Xue Qinghe with her eyes: "Can't I come to you because I'm fine? Brother, you didn't Such……"

After finishing speaking, Xue Ke covered her eyes with both hands, pretending to be crying, but the gap between her fingers was too large, allowing people to clearly see that she was observing her elder brother's reaction.

After pretending to cry for a while, seeing that Xue Qinghe didn't respond, Xue Ke stopped the performance, coughed, looked around a few times, then leaned close to Xue Qinghe's ear, as if she was about to say something shocking, and whispered:

"Brother, let me tell you a secret, you can't tell others!"

"Ah."

"Lingling told me a secret..."

……

　This chapter is mainly an introduction to the basic situation of the Heaven Dou Empire in this book.Due to completion, the Heaven Dou Empire in this book is somewhat different from the original work.

　　The author always believes that in an extraordinary world where there is a huge gap in personal force, personal strength and force are the greatest and most unreasonable "power".

　　Needless to say, the emperor's status in the Heaven Dou Empire can be described as the pinnacle of power, but the royal family does not have the power to match their status.

　　In such a situation of "strength does not match", I think it will inevitably lead to the weakening of the imperial power and the division of power within the empire, which is the situation of the Tiandou Empire in this chapter.
