Chapter 245 The Crisis of the Empire
Return to the royal family.
Wang Quan Wumu was sitting on a chair in the pavilion, tasting tea. At the same time, standing in front of him was a man in a gorgeous robe.
Although so much time has passed, Wang Quan Wumu still knows the identity of the other party.
It is Xue Beng who is the fourth prince of the Tian Dou Empire and has the title of playboy.
At this time, Xue Beng had also grown up a lot and no longer looked as childish as before, but his temperament was still slightly better.
After all, he is from the royal family.
Wang Quan Wumu shook the tea cup in his hand, raised his head to look at Xue Beng in front of him, and asked calmly: "I wonder what the fourth prince is doing when he comes here this time?"
Four The prince's eyebrows were swollen and his expression was somewhat determined. Finally, he knelt down in front of Wang Quan Wumu with a "plop" sound.
Seeing this, Wang Quan Wumu was also a little surprised. After all, it was not easy to make Xue Beng kneel on the ground willingly.
"Senior, please help me..."
"What can I help you with?"
Wang Quan Wumu asked, squinting his eyes.
"Now that the Tiandou Empire is in chaos, I don’t know where my eldest brother has gone, and the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, so the younger generation wants to inherit the throne of the Tiandou Empire..."
Hearing these words, Wang Quan Wumu's right hand that lifted the tea cup suddenly stopped for a moment, and then turned his eyes slightly to look at the fourth prince Xue Beng who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "Xue Beng, you should also know that now the emperor of the Tiandou Empire belongs to "Xue Qinghe", and you are openly plotting rebellion. Are you a little reckless?"
Xue Beng naturally knows this, and also understands that if he doesn't use some means, he may not be able to become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
Because of this, Xue Beng came to the Wang Quan family, hoping that Wang Quan Wumu could help him and become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
Xue Beng gritted his teeth, looked up at Wang Quan Wumu, and said firmly: "Senior, my eldest brother is not what he seems. He must be behind the chaos in the empire. Although I am known as a playboy, I am outside, but I still have hope for the future of the empire. I cannot just watch the empire fall into the hands of traitors."
"And the eldest brother may have something to do with Wuhun Palace..."
Wang Quan Wumu gently put down the tea cup, stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance with his eyes. "Do you have evidence? For such a big matter, we cannot just rely on your words."
Xue Beng took out a blood-stained jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Wang Quan Wumu, "Senior, this is what I happened to do by chance. I found this jade pendant in a secret room in my eldest brother's former study. I secretly found someone to check it out. This aura is related to the Wuhun Empire, and that force seems to be controlling Xue Qinghe."
Wang Quan Wumu took the jade pendant and looked at it, frowning slightly. "This jade pendant is indeed weird, but it alone is not enough to defeat him. What else do you know?"
Xue Beng took a deep breath and continued: "I also found that in recent years, many places in the empire have The tax revenue was inexplicably reduced, and the officials in charge of taxation all had close contact with Xue Qinghe, and then those officials disappeared without a trace.
I suspect that they were either silenced or hidden by Xue Qinghe for this purpose. Empty the empire's treasury for his future actions."
At this time, the breeze blew through the pavilion, blowing the corners of Wang Quan Wumu's clothes.
Wang Quan Wumu turned around and stared at Xue Beng, "How do you want me to help you? Although my Wang Quan family has prestige, we cannot interfere in the affairs of the empire for no reason."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Xue Beng's eyes, "Senior, I just need you to come forward for me at the critical moment and scare some of the wavering people in the court, as well as the forces behind Xue Qinghe. With your reputation and strength, I will definitely let you They are afraid. As long as I ascend the throne, I will rectify the imperial court, restore the Tiandou Empire to its former glory, and maintain good relations with the Wang Quan family for generations."
Wang Quan Wumu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "This matter. I need to think about it some more, please go back first and wait for my news." Xue Beng knew that this matter was urgent, and after bowing respectfully, he turned and left.
Wang Quan Wumu looked at Xue Beng's leaving figure, then glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and said lightly: "Qian Renxue, it seems that your identity has been exposed after all."
………… …
Because of the departure of "Xue Qinghe", the Tiandou Empire can be said to be leaderless at present. Although it is managed by Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Royal Family and the Qibao Glazed Sect, there will still be many people who want to become the emperor of the empire.
Because of this, many ministers showed strong dissatisfaction and even fought against each other.
If Ning Fengzhi had not stopped him in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Because Wang Quan Wumu had left, those ministers who were biased towards the fourth prince Xue Beng spoke out one after another.
Even Snow Star, the prince of the empire, came over and showed some dissatisfaction.
…………
Xue Beng, who returned to the palace, came to the room of his uncle, Prince Snow Star.
Prince Snow Star also noticed his nephew's expression at this moment, and understood what he was worried about.
"Xue Beng, you have to remember that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. If you want to sit in the position of an emperor, then there is only one chance waiting for you."
Hearing this sentence, Xue Beng immediately raised his eyebrows. At first, he looked at his uncle with a puzzled face, not understanding what he was talking about.
Prince Xuexing looked at the scenery of Tiandou City, stared into the distance, and then said leisurely: "Emperors have been ruthless since ancient times. If you want those ministers to be afraid of you, or let those people Afraid of you, you only have one way to go."
"Which way?"
Xue Beng asked hurriedly.
"Conspiracy to usurp the throne!"
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became eerily quiet. Even Xue Beng looked at his uncle with surprise. He did not expect that his uncle actually wanted him to conspire to usurp the throne.
Is this obviously asking for death?
However, Prince Snow Star patted him on the shoulder and said calmly: "I will arrange for soldiers to surround the palace. Even if those guys want to mobilize their troops, it will be too late."< br>
"Xue Beng, you have to remember that this empire belongs to our Xue family, no matter who can do it, as long as it is a member of the Xue family, do you understand?"
Prince Snow Star asked in an indifferent tone.
However, listening to his uncle's words, Xue Beng was still a little worried. After all, if this matter failed, the final outcome would probably be an unimaginable disaster.
"Over there with the Wang Quan Family..."
"Don't worry, Wang Quan Wumu is still dealing with the affairs of the Spirit Empire and has no right to interfere with your affairs here. Remember, you only have one chance. If it fails, it will really be a complete failure.”
Xue Beng clenched his fists and stared with copper bell-like eyes: “Okay, let’s do it!”
