Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 275 Regent Gu Xuan

The Golden Palace, it seems that all the main halls for holding court are called by this name.

However, although all the ministers were gathered in the Golden Palace of the Tiandou Imperial Palace, today's gathering was not for court, but for the Tiandou Palace Coup.

The emperor is dead, and the crown prince is an imposter. Moreover, this imposter also murdered the only surviving fourth prince, Xue Beng, and Prince Xue Xing.

Now all the royal family members are dead. Of course, Prince Gu Xuan, the imperial son-in-law, is still alive. And it is precisely because of Prince Gu Xuan that the Heavenly Dou Empire has avoided the risk of being usurped.

When Gu Xuan revealed the evil deeds of the Spirit Hall, the ministers were furious and wished they could tear the fake crown prince apart right then and there.

But their anger seemed utterly ridiculous to Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan knew that now that all the members of the imperial family were dead, these ministers must have had inappropriate thoughts, but their thoughts were destined to be nothing but a bubble.

Just as the ministers were making a ruckus, Gu Xuan raised his hand, and all the noise stopped abruptly, because two Title Douluos were standing to his left and right.

The deterrent power of the four titled Douluo far surpasses everything else.

"Gentlemen, since things have come to this, there is no point in me saying more. As the prince consort, I am deeply saddened, but the problems that need to be solved right now are still very serious." Gu Xuan's voice was filled with countless indescribable majesty.

It was as if the person standing above speaking was not a prince, but a true emperor.

All eyes were on Gu Xuan, and no one dared to interrupt him.

"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. As the imperial son-in-law and a prince personally appointed by His Majesty, I can only shoulder this heavy responsibility. Therefore, I have decided that from this day forward, I will temporarily serve as regent to maintain the unity of the empire. After I give birth to an heir in Xiaoxue, I will abdicate the position of regent and return the empire to its rightful owner."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the previously quiet hall erupted in chaos once more. Clearly, they were not about to allow Gu Xuan, the so-called prince consort, to rule so easily.

If Gu Xuan, the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, were to become regent, would the future Heaven Dou Empire still be called the Heaven Dou Empire? In time, wouldn't the empire simply become the property of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

At that time, the interests of these ministers will naturally have to be relinquished, which is something they absolutely do not want to see.

But what can they do now?

Rebel against Gu Xuan? But from any perspective, everything Gu Xuan is doing now is done in the name of righteousness, and there is no way to refute it.

Moreover, there are four Title Douluos present in the main hall at this moment. Who would dare to utter a word of rebuttal? Would they have a death wish?

Gu Xuan looked at the noisy crowd below, his gaze sweeping over Yu Feng and Oslo in the crowd. The two had been watching Gu Xuan the whole time, and now that they saw where Gu Xuan's gaze was, they started brainstorming.

Although their relationship was still close on the day of Gu Xuan's wedding two years ago, no one expected that two years later, Gu Xuan would become the regent of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Seeing Gu Xuan's signal, the two instantly understood his meaning. They tugged at their grandfathers' sleeves and whispered a few words to the two marquises.

The two marquises' expressions changed several times before they stepped forward and knelt down: "We have met Your Highness the Regent. In the face of this sudden change in the Tiandou Empire, Your Highness's willingness to step forward is a great blessing for the empire."

After the two ministers expressed their opinions, the expressions of the others also changed as they pondered what to do.

However, Gu Xuan had no intention of accommodating these people. A terrifying pressure emanated from Gu Xuan, making it difficult for the people below to breathe. Those with weaker physical abilities even knelt down.

"Gentlemen, now that I have finished speaking, who agrees and who disagrees?"

Feeling the oppressive force that seemed to be demanding their lives, everyone could no longer hold on and knelt down in worship.

"We pay our respects to Your Highness the Regent, and are willing to serve you to repay the nation's kindness."

Seeing that most of the people looked reluctant, Gu Xuan didn't care. After all, most of these people were wicked and treacherous.

The reason they are now being asked to submit is merely to stabilize the situation in Tiandou City. Once the matter of the Spirit Hall is settled, Gu Xuan will send a large army to directly reorganize the Tiandou Empire, replacing the useful personnel with his own.

If these so-called imperial envoys knew what was good for them at that time, Gu Xuan wouldn't mind sparing their lives. But if they didn't understand fate, then Gu Xuan would have no choice but to kill them.

As for the families of Oslo and Yufeng, although most of their family members are scoundrels who eat the government's food and do disgusting things, Gu Xuan will not take action against them if the two of them behave properly with the people of the Special Mansion.

Gu Xuan also needed some of his former ministers to stay and do some things. After all, if he killed them all, things might backfire.

Now that Gu Xuan has become regent, it can be said that the plan is more than half complete. The rest depends on his next move.

Now that the deed is done, Li Nuo is no longer of much use. Gu Xuan sentenced him to death for the crimes of usurping the country and murder, which can be considered as giving Emperor Xue Ye and the others an explanation.

However, Gu Xuan did not let these ministers go back, otherwise how could he collect evidence of their crimes?

Gu Xuan entrusted this dirty work to the Zodiac Hall. When the Zodiac Hall was first established, Gu Xuan had already figured out how to use it, which was somewhat similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Because their martial souls mutated into so-called half-orcs, they were already somewhat out of touch with ordinary society, so this position, similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was just right for them.

Furthermore, their half-orc characteristics serve as a greater deterrent to those with ulterior motives.

Imagine that one day a minister did something he shouldn't have, thinking no one would find out. But in the middle of the night, a group of minotaurs, goat-headed men, pig-headed men... gathered around his bed and stared at him...

Even Gu Xuan found it somewhat terrifying to think about, since orcs can indeed be quite frightening at times.

Of course, kemonomimi girls are an exception.

After Gu Xuan took over as regency, he openly and without reservation joined forces with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to begin reorganizing Tian Dou City.

To completely unify the Heavenly Dou Empire, it is necessary to start from the imperial city and gradually expand outwards before unifying the entire continent.

Although Gu Xuan was intelligent, he did not like to have his cultivation time wasted on such trivial matters. Therefore, after Gu Xuan confirmed his identity and status, he handed over all the trivial matters to Ning Fengzhi.

He usually only discusses plans and arrangements with Ning Fengzhi, and spends the rest of his time cultivating.

He is now level 90 and only needs one more spirit ring to break through to the Title Douluo level. However, he is currently delayed by the Soul Hunting Operation and cannot get away for the time being, but this does not affect his cultivation.

Dugu Yan, who is already level 80, is not in a hurry to acquire a soul ring. After all, she can still cultivate even without acquiring a soul ring, and the soul power she is cultivating now will be reflected after she acquires a soul ring in the future.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
