Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Mu En was well aware of this principle.

According to intelligence gathered by Shrek Academy, Xu Tianran has a strong grasp of the Sun Moon Empire and enjoys high prestige, displaying the aura of a sage ruler. Only by capturing such a person alive can the Sun Moon army be forced to retreat.

If they were to capture an emperor who had very little control over the Sun Moon Empire, the effect would not be as good.

After all, various factions within the Sun Moon Empire have reaped substantial profits in this war, and getting these guys to obediently return what they've swallowed is no easy task.

Mu En looked at Gong Changlong and said, "Since Xuanzi killed Xu Tianran, he will definitely attract the attention of a lot of Sun and Moon Realm experts. It's too late to turn back now, so let Xuanzi continue to cause trouble. Remember to have the spies that the academy has arranged in Mingdu cooperate with him."

He had no choice. After all, Xu Tianran, who had been killed by a level 98 Super Douluo, had absolutely no chance of being resurrected. Since things had already turned out badly, he could only go with the flow.

Gong Changlong smiled bitterly: "Elder Mu, but there are very few spies left in Mingdu. If we let the spies cooperate, our intelligence system in Mingdu will be completely destroyed. Under the current situation, rebuilding the intelligence system is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task."

"Why did this happen? Is it related to Xuanzi?" Mu En suppressed the anger that was about to erupt in his chest and asked.

“Here’s what happened…” Gong Changlong told Mu En everything he had learned from his scouts.

Mu En said in a deep voice, "Then tell the spies not to cooperate with Xuanzi. No matter what, the academy's intelligence system in Mingdu cannot be completely destroyed. Let Xuanzi bear all the responsibility. Since he has made a mistake again, he should take the initiative to take responsibility!"

If the spies' sacrifice had resulted in Xu Tianran being captured alive by Xuanzi, that would have been acceptable. But since the spies' sacrifice resulted in Xu Tianran's death, the meaning is different.

"Yes," Gong Changlong replied respectfully.

......

Star Luo Empire.

"Xuan Zi didn't capture Xu Tianran alive, but killed him! The reason he gave was too far-fetched, like a lie used to appease others!" Xu Jiawei's face was extremely ugly.

Chapter 692 Empress Xu Tianzhen?

Xu Jiawei had just received news from his spies that Xuanzi had killed Xu Tianran, and he immediately felt that Xuanzi's actions were simply incomprehensible.

Previously, he only suspected that Xuanzi was a spy of the Sun Moon Empire, but now he is certain that Xuanzi is indeed a spy of the Sun Moon Empire. Even if the other party kills the high and mighty Sun Moon Emperor Xu Tianran, he will not change his opinion.

It's important to understand that not everyone within the Sun Moon Empire is absolutely loyal to Emperor Xu Tianran. If Xu Tianran is killed, some people will definitely benefit from it.

Xu Jiawei now strongly suspects that Xuanzi has a close relationship with these people, otherwise why would he not capture Xu Tianran alive, but instead kill him directly?

Although on the surface this matter should be attributed to Xuanzi's mistake, the problem is that Xuanzi makes mistakes frequently, and each mistake causes losses to friendly forces, which has now reached an extremely frequent level.

To put it nicely, Xuanzi meant well but did something wrong; to put it bluntly, Xuanzi did it intentionally.

Xu Jiawei couldn't believe that a highly experienced level 98 Super Douluo would make repeated mistakes and cause such disastrous consequences.

Xu Jiawei said in a deep voice: "Cheng Gang, pass down the order that all spies planted by the Mingdu, no, the Xingluo Empire in the Sun Moon Empire, are not allowed to provide assistance to Xuanzi. Cooperating with Xuanzi will lead to misfortune!"

Moreover, we need to reinforce the Star Rochino defense line. I fear the Sun Moon army will be enraged by Xu Tianran's death and launch an even fiercer attack against us.

"Yes, Your Majesty," said the Mighty Douluo Cheng Gang in a deep voice, then left the palace and began to meticulously carry out Xu Jiawei's orders.

.........

Empire of the Sun and Moon.

Huo Yuhao communicated remotely with Ju Zi through the plane's consciousness and learned about her detailed ideas on supporting the young emperor.

He thought to himself that there was something wrong with this idea; Xu He was still alive!

The so-called Crown Prince Xu He of the Sun and Moon is actually He Caitou from Shrek Academy.

If a member of the royal family were to be chosen to restore the dynasty in the name of Xu He's son, some problems would definitely arise within the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, Xu He's lineage was unpopular to begin with, mainly because Xu He's father was a complete pacifist who had no interest in war and even suppressed the development of military soul tools, which touched too many interests.

Otherwise, how could a perfectly healthy emperor, surrounded by many protectors, possibly have died of poisoning in the palace?

After thinking for a moment, he decided to set off for the location of the orange. For Huo Yuhao, who had mastered spatial magic, this was not difficult.

After a period of time, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, Huo Yuhao appeared in the Sun and Moon Commander's tent.

"Yuhao, why are you here so soon?" Ju Zi looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise.

"I'm here for the matter of establishing a new emperor, Ju Zi. I don't think your idea is good enough. I admit that it has advantages, but it also has considerable drawbacks. I think..." Huo Yuhao explained to Ju Zi.

After listening to Huo Yuhao's explanation, Ju Zi smiled and said, "Yuhao, I know that finding a member of the royal family and restoring the throne in the name of Xu He's son has its advantages, but also significant drawbacks. The drawbacks you mentioned do exist, and I won't deny that. As for the advantages, I have already explained most of them. There is also a hidden advantage that I forgot to explain to you earlier."

In fact, the reason she kept this advantage a secret was simply to create more opportunities to spend time with Huo Yuhao. After all, she had already killed Dai Hao, and her desire for revenge had been fulfilled.

Next, she will help Huo Yuhao unify the Douluo Continent, and at the same time, she will try her best to advance their relationship. However, the problem is that as a marshal, she has to command the Sun Moon Army and cannot get to Huo Yuhao's side in an instant. So she can only use some clever tricks to lure Huo Yuhao to come.

Of course, although she had anticipated that Huo Yuhao would cross space to find her because of this matter, she did not expect him to arrive so quickly.

Orange continued to explain: "In fact, I think we can take this opportunity to let those who are not loyal enough come out. Yuhao, you know that the Sun Moon Empire has now become the shape of the Spirit Pagoda."

However, I can say with certainty that many people are driven by self-interest and are not loyal enough. Although they cannot betray their contracts, I believe that if given the opportunity to break the contracts and gain greater benefits, they would choose to betray without hesitation.

I hope that all the officials in the court will be loyal to you and obedient enough to carry out any order you give, no matter what that order is.

"Establishing a young emperor from Xu He's lineage on the throne wouldn't harm their true interests, but it would also sow discord among those who aren't entirely loyal. If they can't even accept this, then I think these people aren't truly loyal and still hold Xu Tianran in high regard."

What kind of obedience test is this?!

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but complain inwardly. He felt that although Ju Zi was doing it for his own good, having someone impersonate Xu He's child and establish someone from Xu He's lineage as the young emperor was ultimately more harmful than beneficial.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's changing expression, Ju Zi sighed: "Yuhao, if you think my plan is not good enough, in fact, I have another way. Why not kill all of Xu Tianran's brothers and sisters, shift the blame to Shrek Academy, and then find a royal child with the closest blood relation to become the young emperor?"

Between the lines, murderous intent surged, and Huo Yuhao seemed to smell a pungent stench of blood.

He stared at the orange, thinking to himself that he seemed to be going a bit too far. Although Xu Tianran had many brothers and sisters, not all of them deserved to die.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Ju Zi, what do you think about me giving up the idea of ​​establishing a young emperor and letting Xu Tianzhen become the empress instead?"

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi was startled. In fact, she had also considered this plan, but the problem was that it was not suitable.

The reason it's inappropriate is mainly because Xu Tianran's brothers and sisters are not obedient enough, especially Xu Tianzhen, who is a pampered princess and is a typical example of disobedience.

If Xu Tianzhen were to become Empress, she could already imagine the scene where Empress Xu Tianzhen would disregard everything and frequently allow Huo Yuhao to enter the palace. After all, Xu Tianzhen also liked Huo Yuhao, and given Xu Tianzhen's personality, who knows what she might do because of her feelings for Huo Yuhao.

Although she knew that Huo Yuhao was not a man she could possess alone, her relationship with Xu Tianzhen was just so-so. The thought of her working hard on the front lines leading troops into battle while Xu Tianzhen and Yuhao's relationship continued to heat up made her grind her teeth to dust!

However, she did not show her feelings on her face. Instead, she said calmly, "Yuhao, I think it is a good idea to make Xu Tianzhen the empress. With Xu Tianzhen's arrogant personality, if she becomes empress, she will definitely not be popular. It will be quite convenient for her to abdicate in the future."

There was no other way; in front of Huo Yuhao, she wouldn't deny the benefits of making Xu Tianzhen the empress, so she chose to tell the truth.

Chapter 693 Xu Tianzhen Ascends the Throne

As for the drawbacks of making Xu Tianzhen the empress, to be honest, the most significant drawback is in terms of her emotional life. As for Xu Tianzhen's spoiled personality, that's not a major problem.

Although this person is arrogant and spoiled, he is not actually that bad at heart.

The worst things Xu Tianzhen ever did were demolishing the emperor's sleeping quarters and setting fire to the main hall. These did not cause any casualties, only some property damage, which was nothing to the wealthy and powerful Sun Moon Empire.

Compared to people like Xu Tianran who collude with the Holy Spirit Cult, Xu Tianzhen is indeed a great philanthropist.

It should be noted that many people died because of the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, which was involved in Xu Tianran's collusion with the Holy Spirit Cult.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Alright, I'll send a telepathic message to Elder Kong now and discuss this matter with him. Ju Zi, you stay here and wait for the result."

In fact, Kong Deming's opinion was very important, after all, he had a high reputation in the Sun Moon Empire and was even known as the father of the Sun Moon Ninth-Level Soul Master.

It's important to know that even in the later stages of the original story, it was Kong Deming who supported Xu Yunhan to rise to power. Xu Yunhan was not a member of the Sun Moon Xu family. Kong Deming, as a teacher, was naturally well aware of this, since Xu Yunhan's martial soul was the Three-Eyed White Tiger.

A child's martial soul follows their parents and can mutate to some extent. However, if Xu Tianran is indeed Xu Yunhan's biological father, then no matter how Xu Yunhan's martial soul mutates, it is impossible for it to mutate into the Three-Eyed White Tiger martial soul.

Of course, Kong Deming probably doesn't care about this. Although it is said on the surface that Kong Deming is loyal to the royal family, it would be more accurate to say that Kong Deming is loyal to the Sun and Moon Empire.

Which person loyal to the royal family would tacitly allow Ju Zi to lead an assassination attempt on Emperor Xu Tianran?

Therefore, Huo Yuhao regards Kong Deming as the final link in supporting the new emperor's ascension to the throne. Once he has a satisfactory candidate, he will discuss the matter with Kong Deming.

Kong Deming is actually on the front line now, but he is still some distance away from the command tent. He is guarding a place that the enemy must pass through to attack the Sun and Moon Army. He sits cross-legged on the mountaintop, with a gentle breeze on his face, watching the clouds roll and unfold.

There were no generals or soldiers of the Sun Moon Empire around the mountain peak; only the mighty river flowed eastward, surging endlessly, its roar stirring the heart.

With Kong Deming's formidable strength, he alone is enough to guard this place!

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in Kong Deming's mind: "Elder Kong, I want Xu Tianzhen to become the new emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. What do you think of this idea?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming was somewhat surprised. After hearing the familiar voice and feeling the surging spiritual power, he immediately realized that it was Huo Yuhao's voice transmission.

"Should we let Xu Tianzhen ascend the throne as emperor?" Kong Deming pondered, the image of that somewhat spoiled girl surfacing in his mind.

As for Kong Deming, he had learned from others in the past few days that Xu Tianran had died at the hands of Xuanzi. If it weren't for the need to defend against Mu En, who might appear on the front lines, he would have returned to Mingdu long ago.

No matter what, Xu Tianran was the Emperor of Sun Moon, the face of the Sun Moon Empire. His murder would undoubtedly cause the Sun Moon Empire to lose face, and the entire Sun Moon nation would be enraged as a result.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied telepathically, "Yuhao, it is indeed a good idea to let Xu Tianzhen ascend the throne. I remember she likes you quite a bit. You young people can spend more time together and improve your relationship."

I will support you in making Xu Tianzhen the emperor. If any ignorant members of the royal family jump out to oppose it, then deal with them properly. This will not only lighten the burden on the empire, but also build up more prestige for the future abdication of Xu Tianzhen and your ascension to the throne.

"Rest assured, although I also have royal blood, I hope you will become emperor. After all, I hope the Sun Moon Empire can become even stronger under your leadership!"

Faced with the temptation of the throne, even fathers and sons can turn against each other.

Some members of the royal family will inevitably be tempted to make moves because of Xu Tianran's death.

Even though the Spirit Pagoda is powerful now, not all members of the royal family can be accepted into it. After all, there are far too many useless and stupid people among the royal family members.

Many members of the royal family do not engage in production and spend their days idly, relying on the empire for support. They are like bloodsuckers clinging to the Sun Moon Empire. Every year, the empire has to spend a lot of gold soul coins and resources on supporting the royal family members.

It should be noted that the Sun Moon Empire has been established for ten thousand years, and during this time, the imperial family has always been the Xu family. One can imagine how large the number of members of the imperial family is.

If it weren't for the fact that soul tools are a very profitable business, the empire probably wouldn't be able to support so many members of the royal family. Moreover, many people within the empire have been oppressed by the royal family members and secretly harbor resentment about it.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately responded telepathically: "Okay, Elder Kong."

Then, Huo Yuhao looked at Ju Zi beside him and told her about Elder Kong's idea. He then instructed her, "Ju Zi, you must make sure that the Sun Moon Army also expresses its support for Xu Tianzhen."

"Okay," Orange agreed.

In the following days, as expected, some members of the royal family within the Sun Moon Empire coveted the throne. After all, the Third Prince was dead, and Xu Tianran was also dead. Logically, someone should be chosen from among Xu Tianran's other brothers and sisters to inherit the throne.

However, Xu Tianran's remaining brothers and sisters were not only young, but also lacked any real power or influence. As a result, some members of the royal family harbored wicked intentions and attempted to rebel, but they were ultimately suppressed by Huo Yuhao, along with the experts of Mingde Hall and the imperial retainers.

Xu Tianzhen ascended the throne as emperor and appointed Duke Huo Yuhao of the Spirit Eyes as prime minister. Kong Deming and the Sun and Moon Army, who were far away on the front lines, also sent news of their support for Xu Tianzhen. Mingde Hall and the Hall of Offerings naturally chose to respond as well.

Those members of the royal family who were suppressed should have been executed for treason.

However, since the new emperor Xu Tianzhen had just ascended the throne, he should have granted a general amnesty. So he changed the sentence and stripped these people of their titles, demoted them to commoners, and released them immediately. Some members of the royal family, perhaps knowing that they had committed serious crimes and feeling guilty, deliberately banged their heads against the wall before being released, and eventually died.

After the rest of the royal family members were released, they encountered "Shrek Xuanzi," who was extremely hostile to the Sun Moon Royal Family, on the road. They were all killed by this famous second strongest member of Shrek Academy, shocking the entire court and the public!

The new emperor, Xu Tianzhen, was furious and immediately summoned Prime Minister Huo Yuhao to the palace to discuss the grand plan to kill Xuanzi!
