Douluo: Reincarnation, the King's Power Never Dies, Unrivaled in the World

Chapter 246: Avalanche plots to usurp the throne
The next morning, the golden rooster crows.

Since the last incident, the ministers have become much more obedient.

And today, Prince Xuexing, in the name of the emperor, summoned all the people of the Tiandou Empire to the palace, and arranged for people to guard nearby. No one was allowed to set foot here without orders.

Within the palace.

Ning Fengzhi stood in the center of the court with a solemn expression, and the scepter in his hand was slightly clenched.

"My fellow officers, please be patient. Now that His Majesty is away, we should work together to stabilize the government instead of fighting here."

Ning Fengzhi's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the hall.

However, some ministers still glared at each other, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like it could be ignited at any time.

An old general snorted coldly, "Master Ning, we all know that you are on good terms with the Wangquan family, but the empire cannot be without a master for a day, and you have been hesitant to take action. Do you have any selfish motives?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at him calmly, "Old General, please stop slandering me. My Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is dedicated to the empire. In this situation, if we act rashly, the empire will be doomed."

At this time, a civil servant stood up and said, "What do you think should be done, Sect Master Ning? We can't keep going like this. Various forces are ready to make a move, and rumors are spreading among the people."

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I have sent people to find the whereabouts of your majesty. Before your majesty returns, we should all perform our duties and maintain the operation of the empire. As for the matter of the throne, we will discuss it in detail after your majesty has received news."

But his words did not convince everyone. A young and energetic minister said loudly: "Your Majesty has been missing for many days, maybe he has met with an accident. We should recommend a new king as soon as possible to reassure the people."

"How dare you!" Ning Fengzhi scolded, "Your Majesty is blessed by heaven, so stop talking nonsense."

Outside the court, various forces were also competing secretly. Some princes began to expand their military forces, while some wealthy businessmen secretly funded the forces they favored.

Ordinary people in the city were in a panic, and business in the market became much quieter.

In this chaos, Ning Fengzhi knew that he must find a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Lord Ren and Lord Li did not take action, the other princes would.

Prince Xuexing came over at this time and said calmly: "Master Ning, we all know about this matter, so, as a prince of the empire, I have decided to hand over the position of the emperor of the Tiandou Empire to the fourth prince Xue Beng."

Ning Fengzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Prince Xuexing with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. Why make such a hasty decision? And although the Fourth Prince is of royal blood, his previous reputation..."

Prince Xuexing raised his head slightly and interrupted Ning Fengzhi: "Master Ning, people grow and change. Now that His Majesty is missing, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Xue Beng has the determination and ability to take on this important task."

Just then, several ministers gathered around and began to talk.

"Your Highness, this is probably not appropriate. Everyone has seen what the Fourth Prince does every day. How can we be convinced?" An old minister said with a frown.

Prince Xuexing's face darkened, "Humph, don't look at the Fourth Prince with the eyes of the past. The situation is critical now. Xue Beng has shown this prince his ambition and also has a set of strategies for governing the country."

Hearing this, everyone in the field was stunned. They didn't expect that Prince Xuexing was determined to assist the Fourth Prince Xue Beng. And it seemed that if they didn't agree, no one in the field would leave here alive today.

Lord Ren and Lord Zhao decided to leave first. As for who will become the king of the empire next, it is up to them to discuss it themselves.

Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting on the chair, slowly raised his head and looked at the complacent Prince Xuexing, then tightly grasped the scepter in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your Highness, even if you want to make the Fourth Prince the emperor, you need to think long and hard, and you need to get approval from all parties. Now that all parties are ready to make a move, acting rashly will only make the empire more chaotic."

Prince Xuexing snorted coldly: "Then according to Sect Master Ning, how long should we wait? If we wait any longer, the empire will fall apart."

At this time, Xue Beng, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and saluted everyone, "My Lords, Sect Master Ning. I know I had a bad reputation in the past, but I have changed my ways.

I am willing to demonstrate my abilities step by step under your witness. If I do anything wrong, you can pull me down from the throne at any time. I only hope to contribute to the empire, so that the people will no longer suffer and the empire will return to glory. "

After hearing what Xue Beng said, everyone fell into deep thought.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the avalanche and thought secretly in his heart. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. After all, the change in the avalanche also made him curious.

Xue Beng had already taken off his clothes. Wearing a dragon robe, he walked straight towards the throne.

It was obvious that he couldn't wait any longer. No matter what happened today, he had to become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.

The leader, a veteran of three dynasties, strode forward, pointed at the position of the crown prince Xue Qinghe, and asked loudly: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, what do you mean by this? Now that His Majesty has simply disappeared, you are actually wearing a yellow robe. Do you want to rebel?"

Xue Beng sat on the throne and said calmly, "Lord Li, what you said is wrong again. I am the fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire. My eldest brother is missing, and I am the next emperor. I should sit here, right?"

"presumptuous!"

Minister Li threw his embroidery in anger and said angrily: "Although you are a prince, His Majesty did not issue a succession order. Now that you are doing this, you are undoubtedly not plotting to usurp the throne!"

Xue Beng raised his eyebrows, and then said in a slightly cold voice: "I will give you a chance. As long as you kneel down now, you can be spared from death."

"At the same time, Mr. Li, as a veteran of three dynasties, you can help me draft an edict for my ascension to the throne. The gold and silver mines, the high officials and generous salaries are all written by Mr. Li."

Xue Qinghe's eyes shifted to the elders of the three dynasties in front of him. Once his edict was written, the entire Douluo Continent would completely understand the current situation, and he would not be considered to have inherited the imperial throne in advance.

However, Lord Li was full of sarcasm. He pointed at Xue Beng's nose and cursed, "You unworthy descendant Xue Beng are plotting to usurp the throne. If you have the guts, kill me in front of the tombs of the emperors of the Tiandou Empire. Do you dare?"

Xue Beng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said lightly: "Not only do I want to kill you, but I also want to destroy your nine tribes!"

"So what if my ten tribes are destroyed!"
