Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 124 Iron-Blooded Empress

Following Zhu Zhuqing's order, all the Soul Masters immediately began to act.

The Elder Council of the Star Luo Empire has always been a malignant tumor. They set up various rules for the royal family and nobles, claiming to be for the sake of the empire, but in reality, they have been harming the future of the empire.

The emperors of the Star Luo Empire all obtained their positions by killing their brothers; their hands are stained with blood.

Zhu Zhuqing hated this cruel system, and Jerry also hated this system of fratricide, so he gave Zhu Zhuqing a lot of support for this action!

Faced with a Title Douluo and a group of Soul Douluos, the Elders' Council of the Star Luo Empire was like ants and was quickly suppressed.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you've severed ties with my Star Luo Empire!" one of the elders exclaimed.

"It's good that it's over. You elders, always so high and mighty, thinking about all sorts of systems and exploiting the whole country! You should have died long ago!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Davis, Zhu Zhuyun, the victor is king, the loser is villain—now I understand!"

"Zhu Zhuqing, so what if you suppress us? Dai Mubai is dead, I have no brothers, and no offspring. Do you dare to kill me? I am the only heaven of Xingluo. Do you dare to sever the heaven of the Xingluo Empire?" Davis said.

"Even if Dai Mubai, that piece of trash, weren't dead, I would have killed him with my own hands today. As for you, the Heaven of the Star Luo Empire? You're not worthy! Do you really think the Star Luo Empire will cease to exist without you? Let me tell you, my Zhu family is also royalty. Back then, our Zhu family and your Dai family fought together to build the Star Luo Empire. Although I don't know why the Dai family became emperor in the end, don't forget one thing: if the royal family lacks talent and outstanding ability, the most outstanding son of the Zhu family can be chosen to inherit the throne!"

"Haha, even so, does your Zhu family have any male heirs? Your father is the current head of the family and has taken seven concubines, yet there is not a single male heir. Your Zhu family has long since been extinct!" Davis said frantically.

"Davis, the training materials didn't say that only men can inherit the throne, did they?" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what do you mean? Wishful thinking! Since ancient times, men have been emperors and women have been empresses. You want to become emperor? Hahaha, the ministers will not agree, and the people will not agree!" Davis said.

"That's not your problem anymore, take him away!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Hahahaha, Zhu Zhuqing, you won't succeed!" Davis shouted wildly.

"Where are the palace eunuchs! Inform the officials to come to court!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

Before returning this time, Jerry had asked, "Zhuqing, have you thought this through? This path won't be easy; it will inevitably be fraught with bloodshed!"

"I've made up my mind! I'll never forget the harm the Star Luo Empire did to me. You said it was an obsession, which was my motivation for cultivation at first, but will become an obstacle in the future! I want to go to a higher place with you and everyone else to see the scenery!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Since you've made your decision, I'll support you, Zhu Qing. Remember, you're not alone. You have your master, your senior brothers and sisters behind you. Although you have a cold personality, you're soft-hearted. So when you return to the Star Luo Empire, some things, once decided, must be done with ruthless methods!" Jerry said.

Since Zhu Qing prepared to return to China, she has learned a lot at the Spirit Hall Management Academy. Jerry was just worried that Zhu Qing might be indecisive and unable to make up her mind about some things.

In the Star Luo Empire's imperial court, all the officials had arrived and were discussing something amongst themselves.

At that moment, an official announced, "Lord Zhu Zhuqing has arrived!"

Zhu Zhuqing entered the main hall, and the officials all stopped talking. Zhu Zhuqing slowly walked to the throne, turned around, and sat down.

"How dare you, Zhu Zhuqing, sit on the throne!" a minister exclaimed.

But the minister never expected that these would be the last words he spoke in the world. As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp blade pierced through his chest.

"How dare you kill someone! Help! Help!"

No matter what he said, no one came.

"Today, I, Zhu Zhuqing, inherit the throne and will ascend the throne on a chosen day!" Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, his words few but carrying a hint of authority.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you traitors of the Zhu family, how dare you covet the throne!" a minister said.

After he finished speaking, the guard stepped forward and stabbed him. Seeing that another one had died, the other ministers dared not utter a word!

"Following the ancestral teachings, the Dai family has no successors; the Zhu family will take over!"

"Now that the Dai family is empty, the Zhu family is almost empty too! Is there a problem with me inheriting the throne?" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects!" Seeing the situation, the ministers immediately knelt down and surrendered.

"Excellent! The Elders' Council, a group that has harmed the Empire, is now imprisoned. Their homes have been searched; the elderly, women, and children have been demoted to commoners. All other members are to be investigated; those who violate laws and regulations will be executed immediately!"

"Establish a cabinet, with twelve titled Douluo in charge of relevant affairs! Go and carry them out!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

In a short time, the Star Luo Empire underwent earth-shattering changes.

The Spirit Hall sent tens of thousands of people to the Star Luo Empire to take over the corresponding positions.

After Zhu Zhuqing ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to abolish the ancestral system and cancel the noble titles.

Although many nobles had objections and even rioted, they were nothing more than clowns in the face of the powerful Spirit Hall personnel!

Because she executed many people after ascending the throne, she is now privately known as the Iron-Blooded Empress Zhu Zhuqing.

After adopting the Spirit Hall's system, the lives of ordinary people improved significantly, so Zhu Zhuqing enjoyed high prestige among them and was praised by almost everyone.

In fact, the common people's demands are very simple: enough to eat, enough to wear, and enough land to cultivate. They don't care who the emperor is. Of course, it would be even better if there was a good emperor who treated the people well.

Most of Zhu Zhuqing's policies after ascending the throne were related to the lives of ordinary people, which greatly enhanced his prestige among them. This was the first step Jerry mentioned: to gain the people's approval before one can be a good emperor.

As for those former nobles, they formed cliques, oppressed the people, and were all parasites on the empire. If they resisted, they could be eliminated directly. For the sake of the Star Luo Empire, we must act swiftly and decisively.

As the new regulations were implemented, the people thanked the emperor, and Zhu Qing felt a lot of faith power coming from all directions, which flew into Zhu Qing's body.

Zhu Qing felt her entire body being elevated and strengthened, which felt very comfortable.

With Zhu Qing's ascension to the throne, a storm was stirred up across the continent.

Heaven Dou Empire

"Uncle, after the new emperor of the Star Luo Empire ascended the throne, he withdrew the troops defending against the Spirit Hall and has now transferred them all to the border line that is in contact with our country! The pressure on the front line has increased dramatically!" Xue Beng said.

"As expected, Zhu Zhuqing is a disciple of Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall. After ascending the throne, the Spirit Hall strongly supported Zhu Zhuqing. In just three months, the people of the Star Luo Empire are now living in peace and prosperity! The economy is developing rapidly, and the use of gold spirit coins has been abolished and replaced by Spirit Hall points!" Prince Xuexing said.

"Has the Star Luo Empire sided with the Spirit Hall? How dare they do this!" Xue Beng said, clenching his fist.

"Other smaller nations followed the Star Luo Empire's example, and some even sought help from the Spirit Hall to develop, hoping the Spirit Hall would send personnel there!"

"Are these people all crazy? They're letting wolves into their house! Don't they know that?"

"Although that's true, these countries have indeed benefited! And in a few years, their development will far surpass that of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Your Majesty, you must find a way!"

"What can I do? The ministers can't do anything? The Emperor Emeritus can't do anything! Should we go to war? Otherwise, we won't even have the courage to go to war in the future! And look at the suggestions those ministers are making, they're all just copying the Spirit Hall's ideas! Do they really think I can't see through them?"

"Your Majesty, we really need to follow suit now, otherwise, let alone the Spirit Hall, we won't be able to withstand an attack from the Star Luo Empire!"
