Douluo: Cross the Xueqing River and simulate the First Emperor

Chapter 19: Strongly ascending to the throne
In the year [-] of the Douluo Calendar, on June [-], an unprecedented emperor was born on this day.

……

Early in the morning, the main hall of Tiandou Palace.

Qin Zheng was wearing a black dragon-patterned dress, a Tianwen Sword on his waist, and an imperial crown on his head. He was sitting on the throne, looking at the noble supporters who were worshiping him.

When Qin Zheng appeared in the main hall wearing a black dragon-patterned dress, it announced that the previous Tiandou Empire's gorgeous golden dress had been abolished.

"Long live, long live, long live, His Majesty the First Emperor!"

The nobles who supported Xue Qinghe came to the main hall and shouted loudly.

"Looking at the fancy clothes you two are wearing, since you agree with me, from now on, you must wear uniform black and red uniforms when going to court." Qin Zheng looked at the dozen or so ministers in front of him and immediately ordered.

"Your Majesty, Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and Sword Douluo, the elder protecting the sect, are coming to the palace to pay a visit." A eunuch's voice came from the door of the main palace.

"Xuan!" Qin Zheng said.

As the people in the main hall stood on both sides, two handsome men walked in from the door of the main hall. They were both dressed in white and spotless, but the clothes behind them were relatively plain.

The man walking in front was about 40 years old. He was straight-spoken, dignified in appearance, elegant and gentle, with easy-going eyes and a smile that always seemed to hang at the corner of his mouth.

Compared to the man in front, the man behind him has snowy hair and a very indifferent expression, as if he doesn't care about the people around him.

"Ning Fengzhi of the Qibao Glazed Sect, together with the elders of the Protector Sect, met His Royal Highness the Great Prince." Arriving at the center of the main hall, Ning Fengzhi placed his right hand on his heart and bowed slightly.

"Is this still Xue Qinghe? This look and temperament are more majestic and domineering than Xue Ye. I have never seen him like this before." Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel confused when he saw Qin Zheng.

At the same time, he looked at Gai Niemondi, who was standing in front of Qin Zheng, and Tang Yuehua, who was slightly closer to Qin Zheng.

"The eldest prince! Why hasn't Sect Master Ning changed his tune yet and didn't even pay a visit?" Qin Zheng said calmly.

"His Royal Highness, the eldest prince, hasn't offered sacrifices to heaven yet and held a succession ceremony." Ning Fengzhi replied in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.

"Yes, Sect Master Ning is right. The Qibao Glazed Sect has always supported the royal family. I wonder if you are coming in early now to prevent me from ascending the throne, or to support me as the new emperor." Qin Zheng asked slowly.

"My Qibao Glazed Sect has always supported a monarch who can bring peace and contentment to the people of the Tiandou Empire." Ning Fengzhi did not answer directly, but gave ambiguous words.

"Oh! What kind of person does Sect Master Ning think my father Xue Ye will be when he succeeds to the throne?" Qin Zheng asked again.

"Among the previous monarchs of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xueye is considered to be neither good nor bad. His people live a life that is neither miserable nor poor. He is a normal monarch." Ning Fengzhi frowned.

"This question about Xue Qinghe is a bit interesting and seems to have some thought, but can my own abilities make my ideals come true?" Ning Fengzhi thought to himself.

"Sect Master Ning speaks well and is worthy of being the master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, one of the top three sects. So, do you think I will bring destruction or new life to the Tiandou Empire?" Qin Zheng laughed and continued to ask.

"Given the current situation in the Tiandou Empire, it is at the stage of burning itself out. It depends on His Highness the First Prince whether he can rise from the ashes." Ning Fengzhi said slowly.

"Does Sect Master Ning have a way to save him?" Qin Zheng asked.

"Then it depends on whether His Highness the eldest prince is willing to accept me as his disciple." Ning Fengzhi said with a slight smile.

"Ha ha……"

"Sect Master Ning, you think too highly of yourself. If you want to be a national master, your vision should not be limited to the Tiandou Empire. I have seen many people like you who are content with the status quo and like to seek stability."

"Then I will tell you my method of rescue and suppress all voices that oppose me. No sect can override the imperial power or me."

"Except for me, everyone is equal in my eyes." Qin Zheng stood up and announced. "Mengdi, are you ready for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony and the succession ceremony?" Qin Zheng shouted in a thick tone.

"Your Majesty, everything is fine." Monty said with a cupped hand.

"Very good, the enthronement ceremony has officially begun." Qin Zheng waved and shouted.

"Buzz...wu..." The thick, steady sound of horns sounded, spreading from the main hall to the outside of the royal road of the palace.

"Sect Leader Ning, you should think carefully about where to position your sect better." Qin Zheng came to Ning Fengzhi with his sword in hand and said, then left.

Ning Fengzhi's face condensed, but soon returned to his original state.

"This Xue Qinghe is very different from what I expected. I don't know where the confidence comes from." Ning Fengzhi's plan failed a little, because Ning Fengzhi did not expect that Xue Qinghe was already another person.

Sword Dou Luo Chenxin looked at Gai Nie, "The sword intention is hidden in the eyes, it is natural, so strong!"

Qin Zheng naturally did not need to understand Ning Fengzhi's thoughts, but came to the main hall gate.

A high platform was built on the Royal Road Square, with the flags of the Tiandou Empire planted on both sides of the stairs.

Many people gathered in the square in front of the high platform, and these people were guarded by the imperial guards with weapons inside and outside.

"Xue Qinghe, you finally showed up and asked why you wanted to kill your father and brother to seek power and usurp the throne. Emperor Xueye has been so kind to us, so you have the nerve to proclaim yourself emperor."

"Who are you!" Qin Zheng asked calmly.

"I am the envoy of the Kingdom of Barak. If you dare to ascend the throne today, the Kingdom of Barak will declare its separation from the empire and become its own country."

"Yes, I am the envoy of the Kingdom of Silvis. The person who committed the murder of his father and brother will inherit the throne of the great emperor. Our four kingdoms are not willing to assist a cruel monarch like you."

"That's right, I, the Kingdom of Hardagans, don't support such a person coming to power."

Immediately, envoys from the four kingdoms and principalities came out to stop Qin Zhengdao.

"The Tiandou Empire now has ten major provinces. Each of your four kingdoms controls one province, and several major principalities control one province. Apart from the annual tribute, you act completely independently. You are already a country within a country. "

"Even if you don't tell me, I will take it all back myself. Don't you think you can run away?" Qin Zheng snorted coldly.

"The auspicious time has come. Please go up to the high platform and offer sacrifices to heaven." The eunuch announced loudly under Qin Zheng's indifferent gaze.

"His Royal Highness, think again. I see that in addition to the kingdom, several nobles have already gathered soldiers outside the palace." Ning Fengzhi said slowly at this time.

"Ning Fengzhi, do you want to stop me, or do you want to teach me how to do things!" Qin Zheng turned around slightly and said with a glance.

"This!" Ning Fengzhi was speechless when he saw the cold murderous intent in Qin Zheng's eyes.

Qin Zheng then slowly walked up the steps of the high platform.

"Xue Qinghe, if you dare to step onto the high platform today, we marquis will immediately rebel against the Tiandou Empire."

"Xue Qinghe, on behalf of the Balak Kingdom, I officially declare that from now on, we will separate from the empire. The four kingdoms share the same hatred and overthrow your Tiandou Empire."

"Kill!" Qin Zheng shouted coldly, and Mengdi led the guards to kill these people.
