Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Qi Zong was not worried about Pei Shuhua. No matter how talented Pei Shuhua was, she was still a quasi-emperor. A quasi-emperor could not contend with a phantom of an emperor who possessed half the strength of an emperor.

What he was worried about was Pei Tianlu. Although Pei Tianlu was nearing the end of his life and was already halfway to the grave, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If he went berserk, even the illusory image of the Great Emperor might not be able to withstand him.

However, if one Great Emperor phantom cannot withstand it, what about three Great Emperor phantoms?

After listening to Qi Zong's words, Qi Hongguang immediately left the Yangxin Hall where Qi Zong was and went to another emperor.

As time went by, the power struggle in the Crimson Moon Dynasty intensified, and the people of the Crimson Moon Dynasty were divided into two factions: one supporting the abolition of the emperor, and the other resolutely opposing it.

However, the majority of supporters were for deposing the emperor. Imperial dynasties differed from secular dynasties. Secular dynasties were very averse to female rule, but imperial dynasties were relatively more tolerant of male and female rule.

Because the dynasty values ​​strength more; whoever is stronger is more suitable to be the ruler of the dynasty.

Although Pei Shuhua is a woman, she possesses exceptionally high cultivation talent, and her current cultivation level is second only to the royal ancestor. In most people's eyes, she is the most suitable candidate to be emperor.

With the encouragement of Pei Shuhua's faction, the number of people supporting Pei Shuhua naturally increased.

Faced with this situation, Pei Wenfu had no choice but to wait for the day when Pei Shuhua would finally confront him completely.

He believed that as long as Pei Shuhua dared to confront him, the emperor of the Qingyun Dynasty would step in to help him, and then they would be able to get rid of Pei Shuhua as a threat.

However, to Pei Wenfu's surprise, Pei Shuhua seemed to be more patient than him. Pei Shuhua had been building up her momentum for nearly half a year, but he never saw her confront him.

Pei Shuhua's composure made Pei Wenfu feel uneasy. He began to suspect that Pei Shuhua, like him, was seeking support from other dynasties.

Then, considering that the Ye family had brought back some strange and unusual things from a certain Great Xia Dynasty, as well as many people from the Great Xia Dynasty, Pei Wenfu immediately felt that the Great Xia Dynasty was the external aid that Pei Shuhua was looking for.

Pei Wenfu also considered winning over the Ye family, which had connections with many dynasties. He initially wanted to use the Ye family to facilitate cooperation with other dynasties.

However, the Ye family ignored him. He originally thought that the Ye family did not want to get involved in the power struggle of the Crimson Moon Dynasty.

But now Pei Shuhua has not revealed her true intentions for a long time, and that company from the Great Xia Dynasty is becoming more and more prevalent in the Red Moon Dynasty. He subconsciously felt that the Ye family might have already sided with Pei Shuhua, which was why the Ye family rejected him.

Upon considering this possibility, Pei Wenfu decided not to wait any longer; he had to take the initiative and launch an attack on Pei Shuhua.

If Pei Shuhua is indeed waiting for outside help, then continuing to wait would not be a good thing for him.

Soon, news of the bestowed marriage spread throughout the entire Crimson Moon Dynasty.

Pei Wenfu issued an imperial edict ordering Pei Shuhua to marry the ruler of the Qingyun Dynasty.

Furthermore, Pei Wenfu secretly spread the word that as long as the Crimson Moon Dynasty and the Azure Cloud Dynasty formed a marriage alliance, the Crimson Moon Dynasty would no longer have to worry about foreign invasions.

Furthermore, Pei Wenfu issued an imperial edict restricting the activities of companies of the Great Xia Dynasty within the Great Xia Dynasty, and designated the Space Development Company as the vanguard of the Great Xia Dynasty's invasion.

Lu Chen hadn't expected that the Space Development Company would inexplicably be held in hostility by Pei Wenfu.

As news of the marriage alliance between the two dynasties spread, public opinion in the Crimson Moon Dynasty became increasingly unfavorable to Pei Shuhua.

Some people think that if Pei Shuhua can befriend the Qingyun Dynasty after marrying into it, then it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to marry there.

Although Pei Shuhua is talented and has high cultivation, her cultivation level is ultimately only at the Quasi-Emperor level. If the royal ancestor really perishes, then the Crimson Moon Dynasty will have no Great Emperor in the future.

A dynasty without a great emperor is destined to perish. Even if Pei Shuhua becomes the ruler of the Crimson Moon Dynasty, she cannot change the dynasty's fate of destruction.

However, if Pei Shuhua can win over the ruler of the Qingyun Dynasty, and the Chiyue Dynasty has the support of the three emperors of the Qingyun Dynasty, even if other dynasties want to take action against the Chiyue Dynasty, they will have to consider the Qingyun Dynasty.

However, just as the news of the marriage alliance spread, rumors emerged in the Crimson Moon Dynasty that Pei Wenfu was colluding with the Azure Cloud Dynasty and intended to submit to the Azure Cloud Dynasty.

This rumor immediately sparked discontent among various factions within the Crimson Moon Dynasty.

Once people connected this to Pei Wenfu's imperial edict ordering Pei Shuhua to marry into the Qingyun Dynasty, they basically assumed the news was true, without needing any further evidence.

This enraged all the factions, none of whom surrendered. Yet Pei Wenfu, as the ruler of the Crimson Moon Dynasty, surrendered first.

Of course, whether their anger is genuine or feigned is unknown, but in any case, they will eventually have to stand up and condemn it.

Even if some people think there's nothing wrong with this approach, no one dares to stand up and agree with Pei Wenfu's actions.

After all, the royal ancestor of the Crimson Moon Dynasty is still alive.

Seeing that the forces that had previously supported him had fallen silent, Pei Wenfu knew that he had lost to Pei Shuhua in terms of building momentum, and that female rule in the Crimson Moon Dynasty was an inevitable trend.

Pei Wenfu no longer delayed and took the initiative to propose convening a grand court assembly to depose Pei Shuhua as the eldest princess.

The news immediately drew powerful figures from all sides to the Crimson Moon World. People knew that this was the final power struggle between Pei Wenfu and Pei Shuhua.

The struggle between the two sides is coming to an end; it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.

September 15th, 53,611th year of the Red Moon Calendar.

The square outside the Hall of State Affairs.

The square was filled with leaders of various factions. This grand court assembly was not only attended by ministers of the Crimson Moon Dynasty, but also by various factions.

After all, both sides are about to lay their cards on the table, so there's no need for a war of words anymore; it's just a matter of who has more cards up their sleeve.

Dressed in a red robe, Pei Shuhua stood in the center of the square, looking at Pei Wenfu on the dragon throne in front of her. She said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, the Qingyun Dynasty harbors wolfish ambitions and plots against the Chiyue Dynasty. However, instead of trying to resist the invasion, you have let the wolf into the house."

"Do you still think you're qualified to be the ruler of the Crimson Moon Dynasty?"

Upon hearing Pei Shuhua's words, Pei Wenfu chuckled and said, "Aren't you just trying to usurp the throne because of the ancestor's favor? No need to make it sound so high-sounding."

"Since you want my throne, then we'll see if you have the power to do so."

At this point, Pei Wenfu felt there was no need to continue pretending. After all, he had three great emperors backing him up, and he didn't believe that the three great emperors of the Qingyun Dynasty were no match for that old codger.

That old codger is nearing his end; how much strength can he still muster? If he dares to show his support for Pei Shuhua today, this day next year will be his death anniversary. (End of Chapter)
