Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 660 Shrek School Song: "Shrek Students Are All Bad Guys"

"Nana, do you mean that in order for the Prime Minister to be willing to send a minister to negotiate and ensure the integrity of the cabinet, he will have to make concessions to the military?" Leng Yulai said thoughtfully.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly. "That's right. In order to protect his power, the Prime Minister must unconditionally meet all the military's demands."

"Or even become a complete puppet of the military."

"Hiss—" Leng Yulai gasped upon hearing this. It was foreseeable that the military would become a huge beast of power in the future.

Qian Gu Dongfeng shook his head and said, "This is indeed how respectable people play."

Before ascending the throne, Qian Gu Huang Yu promised the people that even if he became emperor, he would not become a dictator, but would only serve as a symbol to thwart the conspiracy of the two great empires.

Indeed, the government is run by the prime minister and the cabinet, while the military is run by the military ministry.

The Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather itself was merely a tool for the rituals performed when they took office.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu can remotely control the Prime Minister and the Cabinet through Qian Ren Xue, there is a problem.

That means whether we force him to make concessions by removing the military minister or simply expel him, it will take at least four months.

Now that the country has just been unified, what it needs most is time. There is no time for them to fight amongst themselves; everything must proceed quickly.

If every new proposal requires four months of negotiation, then that's taking too long.

Leng Yulai said with a long face, "Xiaoyu, you can't keep using us to death just because you think we're useful! This duke has already planned my retirement life."

Qian Gu Huang Yu swirled his wine glass and said in a serious tone, "For the sake of the country, let the nobles suffer a little more; I will bear the infamy."

Leng Yaozhu held Leng Yulai's soft, boneless hand and comforted her, "It's alright, Yulai, it won't be long anyway."

Despite Leng Yaozhu's words of comfort, Leng Yulai said with a hint of resentment, "Sister, can't you tell that I want Xiaoyu to give me more money?"

...

After arranging things within the Douluo Continent (formerly the Sun Moon Federation), the next step was to make arrangements for the newly incorporated region of the two great empires.

After unification, the former Sun Moon Federation, also known as the Douluo Continent, was also called the Douluo Empire's homeland.

The former Star Luo Empire was then referred to as the Star Luo Region.

The former Douling Empire was known as the Douling Region.

Yue Hongchen asked, "Junior Sister, what are your plans regarding the two great empires? Are we going to maintain a large-scale garrison indefinitely?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Of course not. The war is over, so there is no need to keep so many troops there. The military expenses alone would be a considerable expense."

"In order to reduce their hostility towards us, I plan to have the Star Luo people manage the Star Luo people and the Dou Ling people manage the Dou Ling people from the beginning."

Chen Hanyu said, "While this might reduce their hostility towards us, who will they submit to? And how can we guarantee their loyalty?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "That's simple. Just let the original royal family go. They've ruled the country for tens of thousands of years and are already local tyrants."

"Let's appoint Dai Lingxun and Xue Chaoyang as the governors of the Xingluo and Douling regions, respectively."

"To ensure they do not betray us, the army can withdraw a portion of its troops, but a portion of its elite forces must remain there."

"The military commanders will serve as governors of the corresponding overseas regions. After all, we have completely absorbed the armies of the two great empires after the war, so we should naturally take on the responsibility of protecting them."

"As for the candidates—Sister Xue'er, the Star Luo Empire is in your hands. Hanyu, the Douling Empire is in your hands, is that alright?"

“No problem,” Qian Renxue replied.

"Huh? Okay...okay!" Chen Hanyu was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting to be called out at this time.

It's said that the governor is responsible for protecting the safety of the Xingluo and Douling regions and monitoring rebellions, but the profits involved are enormous.

Especially when the resources of the two continents were exploited on a large scale, the profits that the governor of the overseas region could reap were astronomical.

Chen Hanyu clearly did not expect that Qian Gu Huang Yu would give her this cushy job.

"Really... really okay?" Chen Hanyu asked again, afraid that she had just misheard.

"This is what you deserve, so don't worry," Qian Gu Huang Yu said with a smile.

The Ancient Phoenix Feathers have always been very generous to their own people. The others all have some background with the Spirit Pagoda. With the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy on the verge of collapse, the Spirit Pagoda is undoubtedly the number one organization.

Therefore, Qian Gu Huang Yu entrusted the positions of governor of Xingluo Continent and Douling Continent to Qian Renxue and Chen Hanyu, trying to treat them equally.

Whether they can make money or not depends on their own abilities. As the saying goes, "The emperor can lead you through the door, but it's up to you to make a fortune!"
The final result of the discussion was that Dai Lingxun and Xue Chaoyang would serve as the governors of the Xingluo Region and the Douling Region respectively, nominally ruling over the two continents.

Qian Renxue sent Le Jingchen to serve as the governor of the Xingluo region, while Chen Hanyu, because the Sea God family had no one else to rely on except herself, had to go to the Douling region by herself.

In addition, the Douling Region and the Xingluo Region each sent a representative to the Douluo Empire's homeland, the former Sun Moon Empire, as the Minister of Affairs for the Xingluo Region and the Minister of Affairs for the Douling Region, respectively, to be responsible for liaison.

In addition, any movement across regions, whether for tourism, work, school, or marriage, requires special reporting.

After arranging the two continents, the real main event began: how to arrange Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

"Huang'er, what are your plans regarding Shrek Academy and Tang Sect?" Gu Yuena asked.

Originally, according to Gu Yuena's plan, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect should have been completely destroyed after the end of the One Year War.

However, considering the large number of Tang Sect disciples and the slightly unexpected number of Shrek's spiritual followers, they had no choice but to let them off the hook for the time being.

Now that the wars against the two great empires are over, and after being subservient for so long, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy have almost exhausted their resources and talent.

It's time for a counterattack.

Qian Renxue also became interested in this. If Qian Gu Dongfeng and the others disliked Shrek Academy only because of their own stance...

So she and Gu Yuena were born with an inherent aversion to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, wishing they were all dead.

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "I've already prepared a big gift for them. Just watch and see."

...

Shrek City, Shrek Academy. It's enrollment season again, but compared to the usual bustling scene of parents bringing their children to Shrek City days in advance to prepare, this year Shrek Academy is unusually quiet.

Even though tomorrow is the enrollment day, it's still difficult to see any eligible candidates in Shrek City today.

Zang Xin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the empty exam pre-registration form. You have to know that before, you needed to be qualified just to take the entrance exam at Shrek Academy.

Now, he, the dignified deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, has personally gone to the recruitment site. Anyone who comes can register for the entrance exam.

Compared to previous years, this is an incredible benefit, but even so, only a dozen or so students came to register for the entrance exam, not even enough to fill a class.

Just as Zang Xin sighed, two crimson figures descended from the sky; they were Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu.

"Old Zang, how's the college's admissions going?" Zhuo Shi asked.

To comfort the supporters of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect who lost loved ones in the war against the two great empires, Cao Dezhi, the sect leader of Tang Sect, and Yun Ming and Guan Yue, the head and deputy head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, were busy every day.

They go to offer condolences to this person or that person; they've run out of good things to offer, so this is the only way they can try to gain support from others.

Therefore, even for something as important as Shrek Academy's admissions, only one high-ranking official, Zang Xin, came to oversee it.

Zang Xin shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not good. There are only a dozen or so people who have signed up for the entrance exam. Even if all of them are admitted, we won't even have enough students for one class."

"Some of them are our students' younger siblings, who are our staunch supporters. The rest are just here to make up the numbers, wanting the Shrek Academy name."

Although Shrek Academy has fallen on hard times, it still has a great reputation. For many people with poor talent, since their talent in the path of Soul Master is already like this, they might as well get the name of Shrek Academy, which sounds better.

In fact, everyone could see that the Sun Moon Federation, represented by Qian Gu Huang Yu, was very hostile to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

However, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect still maintained their prestige, with a group of staunch supporters and a large number of spiritual Shrek members, thus preserving a semblance of dignity.

However, the events of the One Year War directly disheartened or killed their staunch supporters and a large number of spiritual Shrek followers.

This has led to a sharp decline in Shrek's supporters, and they are even struggling to keep up with enrollment.

"What's wrong? Is Shrek Academy's recruitment not going well?" A cool voice suddenly rang out.

The next instant, a flash of silver light appeared, and the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather appeared in front of Zang Xin and the others.

"Your Majesty!" Upon seeing Qian Gu Huang Yu's arrival, Zang Xin almost reflexively knelt before her.

Now that the Tang Sect has been transformed into Shrek Academy, it's already in a state of decline. I can't let her find another opportunity to cause trouble.

But when Zang Xin raised his head, he saw a scene that made his eyes widen in horror. Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu not only did not kneel down, but instead looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Both of them had mixed feelings about the person they once liked, who had driven their academy and sect to the brink of ruin.

A sad barrier has already formed between them.

Ignoring everything else, Zang Xin quickly tugged at Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu's trouser legs. Only then did Zhuo Shi and Feng Wuyu react and immediately knelt down before Qian Gu Huang Yu.

At this point, Qian Gu Huang Yu was too lazy to pursue the matter further, and simply said, "No need for formalities."

Fearing that Zhuoshi and Feng Wuyu might make another mistake, Zang Xin found an excuse to send them away.

"Does Your Majesty have any instructions for coming today?" Zang Xin asked with a forced smile.

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled calmly and said, "Sect Leader Zang, do you still remember that I said I would give you a great gift after I pacified the two great empires?"

Zang Xin frowned slightly, but still forced himself to say, "I'd like to hear the details."

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Seeing that Shrek Academy's enrollment is not going well this year, then I will suffer the injustice and bring Shrek Academy under the national control."

"What?" Zang Xin's eyes widened instantly, completely unexpected that Qian Gu Huang Yu would pull such a stunt.

“Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty, but Shrek Academy has been independent for many years. Even the land deeds for Shrek City are in the hands of the academy. We appreciate your kindness,” Zang Xin said, forcing a smile.

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed and said, "Sect Leader Zang is joking. Since I ascended to the throne, all the land on the three continents has belonged to the empire. Under heaven, all land belongs to the king, and all people within the borders are subjects of the king."

"So, according to you, Shrek Academy is planning to break away from the Empire?" At the end, Qian Gu Huang Yu's tone suddenly carried a hint of killing intent.

Zang Xin subconsciously shivered. Even though Qian Gu Huang Yu was just standing there, it was enough to send chills down his spine.

"You should know that the only organization that is still human but has not joined the Empire is the Holy Spirit Cult," Qian Gu Huang Yu said calmly.

Cold sweat streamed down Zang Xin's forehead. He finally understood why Qian Gu Huang Yu had come today.

This is clearly an attempt to completely subjugate Shrek Academy!
However, Zang Xin was helpless. Shrek Academy did indeed possess land deeds, but those were things from the Heavenly Dou Empire 20,000 years ago.

Isn't this like using the sword of the previous dynasty to execute officials of the current dynasty?

In the end, Zang Xin had no choice but to accept the reward of the Eternal Phoenix Feather.

Thus, Shrek Academy's independence became a thing of the past. When Yun Ming returned to Shrek Academy, he almost fainted when he saw that the academy's plaque had been changed to: National Shrek Academy.

Just as Yun Ming finally managed to recover, Zang Xin walked over nervously again, saying, "Boss, I have some bad news for you, you'd better hold on!"

Hearing this, Yun Ming's eyelids twitched wildly, but he still pretended to be calm and asked, "What happened? Can it get any worse?"

Zang Xin said, "Qian Gu Huang Yu said that in order to make Shrek Academy in line with other academies, we need to come up with a school song."

Yun Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "What bad news is this? We can just make a song to commemorate the great achievements of Shrek's ancestors."

Zang Xin spoke softly, “But Qian Gu Huang Yu said that in order to make future generations remember history and not let Shrek students forget the sins of their ancestors, she named our school song ‘Shrek is all bad stuff’.”

After saying that, Zang Xin even sang Shrek's school song in front of Yun Ming in a vivid and detailed manner.

After hearing the school song, Yun Ming fainted from lack of breath.

Amidst an atmosphere of mixed emotions, history turned a new page…
