Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 487 Advice to Qian Renxue: The Decree of Grace

Why does Bibi Dong have the worst attitude towards the New Heaven Dou Federation?

The reason is simple.

The country split from the Heavenly Dou Empire, which, roughly speaking, meant that a piece of flesh was taken from her daughter. Although she had some issues with her views on her daughter, the blood ties meant that she had a subjective dislike for Avalanche.

Secondly, the New Heaven Dou Federation was composed of multiple kingdoms within the original Heaven Dou territory, and Avalanche was merely elected to the position without actually holding real power.

Although the Federation's military strength is not weak, it can only rival the other three major powers in terms of the number of troops. In other aspects, whether it is the unity of the army or the strength of individual strongmen, it is the worst.

There is a titled Douluo: Dugu Bo.

However, Dugu Bo is not entirely affiliated with the New Tiandou Federation; he is only responsible for protecting Xue Xing's safety and does not obey Xue Beng's orders.

Therefore, among the people present, the suggestion of avalanche was the least important.

After the rules for the preliminary rounds were finalized in detail, Emperor Xingluo and Xue Beng left the field one after another, leaving only Bibi Dong, Emperor Qinghe, and Tang San in the Papal Palace.

Xue Qinghe glanced at Tang San, then at Bibi Dong, and asked, "Isn't Tang San leaving?"

"He's one of us," Bibi Dong said quietly. "You really are incompetent, actually letting the avalanche split the Heavenly Battle!"

"Hmph! I didn't expect that the rulers of those kingdoms would be so decisive!" Xue Qinghe's voice changed to a clear female voice, and her short golden hair under the crown quietly grew longer, draping down her back. Her figure also became more slender. "The situation in Tiandou is not quite the same as that in Xingluo. There are too many kingdoms in it. They only submit to Tiandou on the surface, but they have a great deal of autonomy in secret."

"Change won't happen overnight, you're too hasty," Tang San suddenly spoke up. "The imperial examination system is indeed good, but it's too advanced. The network of interests among the various noble families is enough to keep you busy. It's only because the Heaven Dou Empire has enough resources that you can act recklessly..."

In reality, in a world without magic or supernatural beings, if Qian Renxue suddenly wanted to change the system from recommendation to imperial examination, she would have to drown while boating in the same year.

It is only because the Douluo Continent possesses extraordinary power and extremely strong combat ability of soul power that the Heaven Dou Empire could have been forced to relinquish the throne, let alone split apart. In fact, the avalanche would have been forced by the rulers of those smaller countries to lead a group of ministers to push Xue Qinghe off the throne.

"Tang San, then tell me, what should I do?" Qian Renxue didn't care that Tang San knew her identity. After all, she had acted impulsively back then, forgetting that her martial soul was connected to Tang San, and had even revealed her identity as a woman in front of him. Now... since Bibi Dong said that Tang San was one of her own, she could naturally trust him completely.

"You should first divide the ruling power among the various small countries," Tang San said leisurely.

"How do they differentiate?" Qian Renxue asked, intrigued.

"Before the Heavenly Dou was split, all the kingdoms, large and small, within its borders were hereditary, right?" Tang San asked.

"Yes, their son will inherit it." Qian Renxue nodded. "What's wrong with that?"

"So, do these kings only have one son?"

"Of course not."

"If there are multiple sons, which son inherits the property?"

"Naturally, it is the eldest son."

Qian Renxue blurted out, then suddenly realized, "You mean, I can win over those who can't inherit the throne? But how? They can't compete, they don't have much ability to begin with, so winning them over wouldn't be very useful, would it?"

Tang San said slowly, "You don't need to spend real money to win them over. Just issue an order—the Order of Grace."

Qian Renxue was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What does 'extending grace' mean?"

"To put it simply, you should tell all the kings of the kingdoms within the Heaven Dou Empire that in the future, they can give a portion of their family's land to their children who are not the eldest sons. After all, those children are your own flesh and blood, and you can't leave them nothing, right?" Tang San put it more bluntly. "When ordinary people divide their families, the furniture, houses, and land also need to be divided equally... Of course, equal distribution is only the ideal distribution. In most cases, the eldest son inherits more land, and the other sons inherit less land."

Qian Renxue felt her mind buzzing, racing rapidly—

In this way, the various kingdoms will inevitably split apart, and their areas will gradually shrink. At that time, they will certainly be easier to control than they are now.

Moreover, this is a blatant conspiracy. As long as she issues this decree and publicizes it widely, even if those rulers know the problems involved, they will be powerless to do anything about it.

Even if their children are knowledgeable, most of them would certainly not give up immediate benefits to their brothers and sisters.

At that time, whether these kingdoms are inherited by the eldest son or distributed equally among all the children, it will greatly benefit her in unifying the kingdoms within her territory.

If the eldest son inherits the throne, the children who cannot inherit will inevitably harbor resentment towards their father and elder brother, and will naturally side with her, the Qinghe Emperor; if each child is given a share, the kingdom can be divided, which will make it much easier to manage in the future.

More importantly, once this decree is issued, no one can say anything bad about her, since she is considering the family ties between those kings and their children!

The Edict of Grace!

What a clever way of extending grace!

The more Qian Renxue looked at Tang San, the more she liked him. Such a talented person, she wished she could take him into her arms.

"Great idea!"

"It can also be used within the current Tiandou territory, after all, some small countries and city lords are secretly disobeying me."

Bibi Dong mocked, "After being emperor for so long, you're still not as insightful as Tang San. You're a complete waste."

Qian Renxue was immediately enraged: "If you hadn't struck first, I should have been the one to subdue Tang San and unify the continent!"

Bibi Dong chuckled: "Tang San came here on his own, and he joined the Spirit Hall only after I conquered him. You can only blame yourself for being less skilled."

Qian Renxue cursed, "Shameless old woman!"

"·····"

Seeing the mother and daughter suddenly start arguing, Tang San, who had just issued the Edict of Grace, immediately pretended to be mute, lost in thought, until Qian Renxue woke him up and asked, "Tang San, what should I do next?"

"I apologize, Your Majesty Emperor Qinghe, I don't know much about politics." Tang San said that everything just now was just theoretical. As a martial soul researcher, his forte is naturally research.

"..." Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, what level has your soul power reached? My... my sister said you've already reached the Title Douluo level?"

"Level ninety-nine," Tang San told the truth, and showed his nine spirit rings. The first eight were all gold and had different patterns, while the last one was like a galaxy forged, as if the entire starry sky was imprinted on it, magnificent, mysterious and captivating.

At first glance, Qian Renxue seemed captivated—
