Douluo 2: Miss Noumenon wants to be the ultimate villain
Chapter 323: The people are in favor, and the soft sword can also become a sharp blade
Xu Xiao himself walked out wearing only a single layer of clothing, looking slightly tired. He seemed to have really been saved, and no longer looked like he was about to die as he had yesterday.
Walking out behind him was Xu Tianran, who was safe and sound but also looked tired!
These two people actually appeared alive in front of everyone!
What on earth was going on? Everyone just felt that they were being played around by the father and son.
"Yesterday's edict is different from today's. I have just recovered from a serious illness and still have the energy to control the government. Therefore, the accession edict has been changed. The position of crown prince will be given to a virtuous and talented person who is popular. This edict will be announced to the world, and the enthronement ceremony will be held in three months." Xu Xiao said indifferently.
At this moment, Xu Tianyang's eyes were almost bleeding when he looked at Xu Tianran. His mood was dragged to heaven by his father, and then quickly fell to hell!
Why do you do this to me?
But isn’t this the same for Xu Tianran?
After all, the emperor's son was played around in the emperor's hands.
After Xu Tianran sacrificed himself for his father yesterday, he has now won the hearts of the people. It seems that Xu Xiao has really chosen him as the crown prince.
The dispute in the empire was settled for him, and from today onwards there would be no more disputes over the succession to the throne in the empire.
As long as Xu Tianran can remain firmly on the throne of crown prince, the throne is destined to be his.
At this time, the pot-bellied Jing Hongchen climbed up to the tall hall, panting.
He slid down to his knees and rushed to Xu Xiao, shouting, "Your Majesty, I'm late!"
"My dear Lord Hongchen, are you waiting for me to die before coming here?"
Jing Hongchen prostrated himself on the ground, "Your Majesty, how can you say such an unlucky thing? I asked the Heavenly Father at home and learned that there will be a great joyous event happening in the empire recently. I knew that Your Majesty must be blessed by heaven and live as long as the sky, so I prepared some treasures at home to present to Your Majesty! To celebrate the joy of the sun and the moon!"
Jing Hongchen stayed indoors yesterday because he knew Xu Xiao too well and guessed that something big must have happened.
Today, Xu Xiao established Xu Tianran as the crown prince in front of all the officials. This was to concentrate the scattered power and make them all support the crown prince. He wanted the other three families to submit to the Xu family.
Moreover, the value of this prince Xu Tianran is too high. Not only did he risk his life to save his father yesterday, but Shrek was also a witness.
If Nine-tailed Douluo were to show up, the Xu family would have even greater momentum.
Although Jing Hongchen is not as calculating as Xu Xiao, he can still deny it.
He waited until he had a clear understanding of the situation before taking action, and waited until he knew Xu Xiao's purpose before responding.
Jing Hongchen would never easily step into this trap. His Hongchen family would never take sides and would support whoever was the emperor.
Therefore, Jing Hongchen will only obey Xu Xiao, but will never obey anyone from the royal Xu family. Even Xu Tianran needs him to be able to ascend the throne.
An old fox is an old fox. Xu Tianyang can’t blame others for what happened yesterday. Whoever can help Xu Xiao do this will be the prince.
Xu Xiao laughed and scolded, "Live as long as the sky? Are you scolding me?"
Jing Hongchen smiled apologetically, "You are the master, and I am the servant. Your Majesty said I scolded you, so I scolded you. Please punish me."
"Punishment?" Xu Xiao laughed dryly. "I was waiting for you yesterday, Master Hongchen? Don't you know that Miss Dugu is also here? You are really old, and you are not as strong-willed as the younger generation in your family."
Only at this moment did Jing Hongchen realize that he had been fooled!
He originally thought that Dugu Li was invited here to lure out Cai Meir, but now he realized that Xu Xiao actually invited Dugu Li for himself.
Dugu Li is Shrek's exchange student and an important foreign envoy. Liao Mengkai took her away from Jing Hongchen's Sun and Moon Academy without even an imperial decree, and he himself did nothing!
Xu Xiao did not give Jing Hongchen a chance to explain, "Master Hongchen, I see that you are getting old and your bones are getting softer and softer. I doubt whether you can still manage the Mingde Hall of Sun and Moon well."
As he said that, he called someone in, "Ye Yulin, you will be the deputy head of Mingde Hall in the future. Help the head of Hongchen Hall more often. We can't let the guests who come from afar make a fool of themselves."
Qing Li was trembling with fear as she watched from below. Even she didn't realize that she could have such a great influence.
With just one sentence, Xu Xiao inserted his own people into Mingde Hall. Jing Hongchen was on guard against everything, but still fell into Xu Xiao's trap.
Jing Hongchen, I know you too well. I had already guessed that Jing Hongchen would not come.
This move is a dilemma. If Jing Hongchen comes, he has to take sides. If he doesn't come, Mingdetang will lose power.
At this moment he suddenly realized that Xu Xiao was trying to weaken the power of the four Sun and Moon families. His target had always been himself, the Hongchen clan, and the Feng and Ye families.
This is probably the reason why Xu Xiao allowed people who originally belonged to Douluo Three Kingdoms to enter Sun and Moon. With too many people, the water became muddy. Even with Jing Hongchen's eyesight, he could not see clearly how many fish were around him.
I lost, and I lost completely. Jing Hongchen gritted his teeth, but Xu Xiao, please don't force me. The Hongchen family will never let you manipulate them. If you push me to the limit, I will have no choice but to die with you!
There is no morning court today, only an edict to establish the country.
Afterwards, Liao Mengkai was very grateful to Qingli for the reminder.
As soon as the news of Xu Xiao's critical illness came out, those impatient fish immediately surfaced. The rebellious Lord Zhaolan was the most obvious example. Not a single member of his clan was left alive, as all of them were wiped out by Xu Xiao's men.
Is Xu Xiao sick?
It depends on what happened between him and Xu Tianran in the quiet room.
Until dawn, Xu Tianran had been continuously transferring his soul power to Xu Shengji's Holy Light Staff. It was not only the people outside who were suffering, but Xu Tianran himself was suffering far more than anyone else.
Afterwards, Xu Xiao slowly woke up and asked Xu Tianran a question, "Ran'er, what do you think is the most important thing for a monarch?"
Xu Tianran's soul power was very weak after a whole night of transmission, but he still answered this question very cautiously, "Concentration of imperial power?"
"Xu Tianran, if you want to be emperor, if you want the throne above all others, I'm here to tell you that the most important thing is to control people's hearts. If people's hearts are in your favor, even a soft sword can become a sharp blade."
And after hearing Xu Xiao's next words, Xu Tianran knew that he had made the right bet.
"If you want this position, start studying hard from today."
That night, Xu Xiao played tricks on everyone except Xu Tianran.
Because Xu Tianran's confidence in this situation was far greater than that of other princes, he took a gamble.
Do you really think there is such a ceremony as Xu Shengji said? It was all just a play for Xu Xiao's plan.
In fact, the only candidates for the throne are Xu Tianyang and Xu Tianran, and this person must show his fearlessness and sacrifice in order to achieve the effect Xu Xiao wants today.
Xu Shengji knew who to choose just by looking at the state of each prince standing in front of the Holy Light Staff.
Xu Xiao was a suspicious person by nature. Even though Xu Tianran was willing to sacrifice himself, even after he issued the imperial decree to pass the throne to Xu Tianyang, Xu Tianran still held on.
But Xu Xiao still had to keep testing. He asked the nobles outside to play music to test whether anyone had seen through his pretense of illness today and had deceived him by acting with Xu Tianran.
In fact, Xu Xiao didn't mind this. It only showed that his son had many means, and he could only feel lucky.
But Xu Xiao is a person who can only feel at ease if he has everything under control.
Although he allowed Xu Tianran to plot against him, Xu Xiao would never allow this plot to happen without him knowing about it.
Music can represent a person's state of mind, and Xu Xiao uses this to infer who has something fishy going on.
Qingli successfully passed the test last night because she did have something to do with the matter, but Qingli couldn't guarantee that Xu Xiao was completely unaware of it.
Why is Xu Tianran so sure? Because the source of this information is Qingli.
In fact, Liao Mengkai was also very confused as to why Qing Li could describe Xu Xiao’s illness so clearly, as if she had really treated Xu Xiao. But how could she have such an opportunity?
Although Xu Tianran seems to have nothing to do with Qingli, the person who actually connects the two of them is Orange!
On the surface, Juzi is Xu Tianyin's subordinate and sided with the Seventh Prince, but her real identity is Xu Tianran's person.
Juzi has been lurking under the seventh prince's command, continuously passing their intelligence to Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianran is the one who is recognized by Orange and possesses the aura of an emperor.
Since Qingli chose to support them from behind, he naturally had his own judgment.
Although Qingli didn't know anything about fortune-telling, she didn't know much about these princes.
But she intuitively felt that Xu Xiao would not like someone with a sun martial spirit.
This is because Xu Ning’s martial soul is the sun.
There is a reason for everything Qingli did.
