Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Gu Rong came to the territory of Xingluo Empire with another mission - to withdraw the commercial deployment of the upper three sects in the Xingluo Empire.

Previously, the three upper sects had suppressed the Tang Clan to such a state. Now that the Tang Clan is in power, they will definitely target the business of the three upper sects.

Seizing the commercial market in Xingluo Empire was just to define the market share in advance. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for them to fight to the death with Tangmen.

If they withdraw now, and the Tang Sect wants to cause trouble for them again, wouldn't that be like hitting cotton with a punch?
After hearing what Gu Rong said, Davis was in great confusion and stood there in a daze.

Zhu Zhuyun, who was relatively calm, whispered in his ear: "Weiss, since the Tianjian Sect will support us, why don't we go to the Tianjian Sect to avoid the limelight for a while?"

"The Tang Sect has always been at odds with the three upper sects. For the sake of their own interests, the three upper sects will definitely help us eliminate Dai Mubai and his gang, and support us in ascending to the throne."

……

In the palace, Zhu Huizu, the head of the Zhu family, hurried over.

Zhu Huizu originally planned to help Davis ascend the throne, but plans could not keep up with changes.

After the coup began, not even a fly could fly out of the palace.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he did not dare to break into the palace.

But when the palace was lifted, the coup was over and Davis was completely defeated.

Dai Tianfeng summoned him into the palace at this time, and the result was self-evident.

For the future of the Zhu family, he must find a way to let the woman of the Zhu family marry Dai Mubai and keep his position as queen!
The Zhu family is the largest noble family in the Xingluo Empire except for the royal family, and is also the minister of state.

With the recognition of the Zhu family, Dai Mubai will no longer have any obstacles in ascending the throne.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the Zhu family, Dai Mubai agreed to the Zhu family's offer to send the woman.

As long as the girl is pretty, Dai Mubai will accept anyone.

For the Tang Clan, a Xingluo Emperor who only knows how to enjoy himself is a good emperor.

Besides, lust is Dai Mubai's nature, and the two sides hit it off immediately, making it a win-win situation.

It was already late at night when Dai Tianfeng finished explaining everything.

Although the ministers had some complaints in their hearts, in the face of the general trend, they had to acknowledge Dai Mubai's identity as the legitimate heir.

In the early morning of the next day, Dai Mubai and the Tang Clan announced that Dai Tianfeng had died in his sleep.

The funeral of the late emperor and the coronation ceremony of the new emperor are both on the agenda.

Everything that the ministers had originally prepared for Davis has now become Dai Mubai's wedding dress.

……

During this period, the news that Davis was rescued reached the ears of everyone in the Tang Sect.

For Tang San, Dai Tianfeng openly arrested Davis for treason, and the latter had completely lost the possibility of inheriting the throne. Even if he escaped, he would not cause much waves.

Seven days later, the funeral of the late emperor was over, and Dai Mubai, surrounded by ministers, ascended the throne that symbolized imperial power.

In order to seize the throne as soon as possible and avoid Davis's men from secretly making trouble, the coronation ceremony was kept quick and simple.

After ascending the throne, Dai Mubai must attend the court meeting on the first day.

Officials from various departments reported their work to Dai Mubai one by one. The most important one was the Ministry of Revenue, which was in charge of the empire's finances.

Dai Mubai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the treasury had plenty of money and grain.

However, he is not capable of handling state affairs.

Because of their meritorious service in following the Emperor, Tang Xiao, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were all arranged to serve in the court.

Tang Xiao used the method of forcing Dai Mubai to solve the officials' problems.

After the officials from various departments have finished their reports, the next step is to award rewards.

Dai Mubai is an emperor without "real power", so isn't it all up to Tang San and others to decide how to reward him?

First of all, of course, the position of national teacher was bestowed upon Yu Xiaogang.

For a time, officials in the court were very dissatisfied with this.

Yu Xiaogang himself is only a great soul master, and his reputation was completely ruined at the academic exchange conference held by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

If a guy like this, who has no real ability and a terrible reputation, is appointed as the national teacher, wouldn't that make the empire a laughing stock of the entire continent?

Dai Mubai sneered and said dissatisfiedly: "How can you, who are short-sighted, understand the wisdom of the master!"

Yu Xiaogang held his head high and turned to the ministers with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am just a scholar. Since Your Majesty is willing to hand over this important task to me, I will do my best to fulfill my duties for the empire!"

"If you are dissatisfied, you can have an academic debate with me. Everything will be decided by strength."

The Imperial Master was second only to the Emperor, but above all others. And nominally, he was still the Emperor's teacher.

If the emperor wants to come up with a policy, in most cases he has to discuss it with the imperial teacher, and the details of the policy need to be perfected by the imperial teacher.

Those who can become the imperial teacher are all highly respected figures in the court, such as the Duke of West Road.

At the very least, he must be someone who has made outstanding contributions to the empire.

The officials in the court had heard of Yu Xiaogang's resume to some extent. If the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family was still there, and they tried to win over Yu Yuanzhen's son Yu Xiaogang, the opposition in the court would not be so strong.

But now, Yu Xiaogang is no different from a beggar on the street. How can such a person be the national teacher?
As for the competition proposed by Yu Xiaogang, it was totally a joke!
Every word and action in the court concerns the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people. What can a competition prove?
As Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San would naturally stand up for him. "People often say that in the government, officials are made of rotten wood, and between the steps of the palace, beasts eat the salary!"

"Ministers, instead of reflecting on your own actions and whether they have helped the people live a good life, you are attacking each other. How can this be considered as disgraceful?"

"Teacher's ability has been recognized by His Majesty, so why not take the position of Imperial Master?"

"Everyone, we are all working for His Majesty and the Empire. Shouldn't we be wholeheartedly helping His Majesty and seeking the well-being of the people?"

Tang San's words undoubtedly stood on the moral high ground.

In the court, many officials were once supporters of Davis. Now that Dai Mubai is in power, he has not taken action against them for the time being, but that does not mean that they will not be liquidated in the future.

If we stand up now and get a lot of support, it will be fine. But if someone stabs us in the back, we will be doomed.

No one who can gain a foothold in the court is a fool.

Tang San's words made them realize that they hadn't cleaned up their mess yet, so don't think about doing anything else!

For a moment, the quarrel in the court disappeared, and the officials returned to their seats and stopped talking.

Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back and held his head high, very satisfied with this scene.

Dai Mubai showed a hint of smile, and immediately announced the rewards for Tang San and Tang Xiao.

The two were named the Left and Right Protector Generals, ranking above all the princes and nobles, and were only responsible to Dai Mubai. Tang San and Tang Xiao, uncle and nephew, were both Titled Douluo, so no one objected to their positions as generals.

Even if you want to oppose it, you have to carefully consider the power and whether you will be liquidated.

After the court meeting, Dai Mubai ordered someone to deliver the memorial to the emperor's study, while he went straight to the harem to play with the woman sent by the Zhu family!
In the study, Tang San, Tang Xiao and Yu Xiaogang were handling government affairs for Dai Mubai.

Making Dai Mubai a mascot was a decision they had agreed upon long ago.

The Xingluo Empire is their important force for revenge against the Spirit Hall, and it is also the future base camp of the Tang Sect and the Haotian Sect. If Dai Mubai doesn't take care of things, and they don't care about it, won't the entire empire fall into stagnation?
When the empire falls apart, how can we take revenge on the Spirit Hall in the future?

Besides, the Xingluo Empire will be their second home in the future, so isn’t it their right to take good care of their own home?

The coronation ceremony went smoothly and completely, the imperial power was firmly in their hands, and Tang San and others had more time and energy to think about other things.

Yu Xiaogang put down the memorial and asked hurriedly, "Xiao San, Tian Heng just went to the prison and found no trace of Tian Xin. Didn't you say that Tian Xin was captured by Hu Yanzhen and others? Where is she now?"

How would Tang San know?

Hu Yanzhen and Tuoba Xi's actions during the palace coup proved that he was a supporter of Davis.

Logically speaking, they captured Yu Tianxin and should hand her over to Davis for disposal. The safest prison in the entire empire was undoubtedly the Sky Prison that was reinforced by Davis.

Yu Tianxin is not in the Heavenly Prison. Where was he taken?
After the palace coup, the Elephant Armor Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect moved all their disciples to the territory of the Tiandou Empire.

The Xingluo royal family does not yet have the power to enforce the law across borders, and is temporarily unable to obtain any news from Huyan Zhenkou and Tuoba Xi.

Another person who knew the situation, Davis, has also been rescued.

Bone Douluo's methods are extremely covert, and the testimonies of the White Tiger Camp soldiers are not enough to analyze his identity.

For a moment, Tang San couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.

After thinking hard for a while, he came up with something. "According to the records in the palace, Davis seemed to have mobilized the White Tiger Camp that day. Teacher, I will immediately send someone to the White Tiger Camp to ask, maybe someone knows where Tian Xin is."

Now that the palace has stabilized, it’s time to put the reconstruction of the Tang Clan on the agenda.

Tang Xiao informed Tang San and others about what Huyan Zhen and Tuoba Xi said on the day of the coup.

He angrily said, "It must be because of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and Ning Tianchen that the Haotian Sect suffered an unprovoked disaster!"

"Xiao San, we must know who the enemy is. Thousands of people from the Haotian Sect cannot die in vain. We must take revenge!"

Tang San and Ning Tianchen have been at war to the death for a long time.

Since the three upper sects are mixed up with Ning Tianchen, there is no need for them to exist anymore.

But the most urgent matter is that their primary enemy is the Spirit Hall. The power of the three upper sects is not small, to some extent, they still need the help of the three upper sects!
During the conversation, the palace servant who was in charge of the logistics of the imperial palace came to the study in small steps.

"National Master, two great generals, is His Majesty not here?"

The palace maids looked uneasy. Before they understood their new master's temperament, they were afraid that they might say something wrong and lose their current status.

Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, "Your Majesty has important matters to attend to. If you have anything to say, please tell me and I will convey it to Your Majesty later."

How could the palace servants dare to disobey him, and hurriedly told him about the problem of palace expenses.

Dai Tianfeng had his own private treasury, and only he knew the location of the treasury. Davis also found out the location of the treasury through indirect means.

But Dai Mubai, Tang Men and others didn’t know.

Before Dai Tianfeng "died", Tang San was only thinking about consolidating Dai Mubai's position, but ignored the whereabouts of the treasury.

Originally the palace had some spare money, but after handling two major events in succession, it is now stretched to the limit.

"Just ask the Ministry of Revenue for money directly, why come to His Majesty?" Yu Xiaogang frowned and snorted coldly.

Tang San didn't know the flow of funds in the palace, and he quite agreed with Yu Xiaogang's idea.

Tang Xiao was not optimistic about Yu Xiaogang's proposal, and told the two of them in a way that forced them to speak in a line, "Public is public, private is private, do not embezzle the empire's finances!"

Yu Xiaogang didn't care.

The entire empire belongs to Dai Mubai and the Tang Clan. Who dares to stop them from embezzling money from the user department?
The palace servant felt very embarrassed and knelt down, "Grandmaster, this is absolutely not possible. The Ministry of Revenue's money and grain are the foundation of the empire, and they must not be moved easily."

If anyone dares to embezzle the Ministry of Revenue's money and grain without permission, an impeachment memorial will be submitted immediately. Once the investigation is carried out, this palace servant will have several heads chopped off.

Tang Xiao waved his hand and asked the palace maid to leave first.

"Master, don't confuse public and private affairs. The future of the Xingluo Empire belongs to us, and we must govern it well."

With an official position, Yu Xiaogang was confident in his angry words, "Since the empire belongs to us, why can't we get money from the Ministry of Revenue?"

Tang San frowned.

For a long time, there has been no news that the Xingluo Palace was short of money. The only possibility is that most of the money was put into the treasury by Dai Tianfeng.

Dai Tianfeng has already been buried in the imperial mausoleum. They can't expect a dead man to tell them the location of the treasury, right?

For a while, the three of them were troubled by money issues.

We can't let Dai Mubai fall into ruin right after he ascends the throne, right? Once the news gets out, the dignity of the empire will be greatly damaged, and who will respond to their call in the future?

Tang Xiao suddenly thought of a good idea, "Xiao San, don't forget the Dragon Spear Sect."

"Now that we have accomplished what we have done, we can pardon Zhang Erhe and the other members of the Dragon Spear Sect with just a decree."

"In that case, why can't I collect some profits from it?"

A few days ago, the Dragon Spear Sect sent them a congratulatory message, but the Dragon Spear Sect had no intention of moving the sect into the Star Luo Empire, so Tang San did not take them seriously.

However, the money they could get from the Dragon Spear Sect was very limited and not enough to support the royal expenses in the long term.

The buying and selling of official titles is something that only happens when an empire reaches its end. Now that the Xingluo Empire is thriving, even if Tang San and his companions are short of money, they will not start this easily.

Yu Xiaogang sneered and said, "Isn't this already available? Back then, the three upper sects were chasing and blocking the Tang Sect in the business field. Now that the offense and defense have changed, it's time to make them spit out the money."

"Xiao San, I will immediately draft an imperial edict to confiscate the property of the three clans within the empire."

"No." Tang San tried to dissuade him.

He has been unhappy with the three upper sects for a long time, but if he wants to take revenge on the Spirit Hall in the future, he will inevitably have to come into contact with the three upper sects. Now is not the time to break up.

Tang Xiao thought of a compromise. "How about this? We will collect a few more percent of taxes from the businesses of the top three clans, forcing them to raise the prices of their goods. At the same time, this part of the tax revenue will be managed by a special person, and the money will go directly into the pockets of the royal family."

While the plan was being implemented, bad news came from the White Tiger Camp.

When the White Tiger Battalion arrived with Davis, Yu Tianxin had already been seriously injured.

The soldiers did not hear Davis' words, they only knew that Davis kicked Yu Tianxin to death and chopped her body into pieces and fed them to wild dogs. (End of this chapter)
