Chapter 246 Xue Beng plots to usurp the throne
The next morning, the golden rooster crows.
Since the last incident ended, the ministers have become much more honest.
Today, Prince Xuexing also called everyone in the Tiandou Empire to the palace in the name of the emperor, and arranged for people to guard the area nearby. No one is allowed to enter this place without orders. step.
Inside the palace.
Ning Fengzhi stood in the center of the court, with a solemn look on his face and the scepter in his hand slightly clenched.
"Comrades, please be patient. Now that His Majesty is away temporarily, we should work together to stabilize the court rather than fight here."
Ning Fengzhi's voice was steady and powerful, speaking in echoed in the hall.
However, some ministers still glared at each other, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if it was about to burst into flames.
A veteran snorted coldly, "Sect Master Ning, we all know that you have good relations with the royal family, but now the empire cannot be left without an owner for a day, but you have not taken any action. Could it be that you have some selfish motives? ”
Ning Fengzhi looked at him calmly, "Old General, please don't spew blood. Our Qibao Glazed Sect is dedicated to the empire. In this situation, if we act rashly, the empire will fall into a state of catastrophe."
At this time, a The civil servant stood up and said, "What should we do in the opinion of Sect Master Yi Ning? We can't continue like this. All forces are ready to move, and rumors are spreading among the people."
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and said: " I have sent people to find your majesty's whereabouts. Before your majesty returns, we should perform our duties and maintain the operation of the empire. As for the throne, we will wait for your majesty to have news before considering it in the long term. "
But what he said. Not everyone was convinced. A young and energetic minister said loudly: "Your Majesty has been missing for many days and may have encountered something unexpected. We should elect a new king as soon as possible to reassure the people."
"Presumptuous!" Ning Fengzhi scolded, " Your majesty has his own destiny, so don’t talk nonsense.”
Outside the court, various forces are also competing secretly. Some vassal kings began to expand their military forces, and some wealthy businessmen secretly funded the forces they were optimistic about.
But ordinary people in the city are panicked, and business in the market has become much deserted.
In this chaos, Ning Fengzhi knew that he must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise, even if Master Ren and Master Li did not take action, other vassal kings would.
Prince Xuexing came over at this time and said calmly: "Sect Master Ning, we already know about this matter. Therefore, as the prince of the empire, I have decided to change the position of the emperor of the Tiandou Empire. , leave it to the fourth prince Xue Beng."
Ning Fengzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Prince Xuexing with a look in his eyes: "Your Highness, this matter is not trivial, why did the fourth prince make such a hasty decision? Royal blood, but his previous reputation..."
Prince Xuexing raised his head slightly and interrupted Ning Fengzhi: "Sect Master Ning, people will grow and change. Now that His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, the country cannot live without a king for a day. Xue Beng has the determination and ability to shoulder this important task."
At this moment, several ministers gathered around and started talking.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Everyone has witnessed the Fourth Prince's daily behavior. How can we be convinced by this?" an old minister said with a frown.
Prince Xue Xing's face darkened: "Hmph, don't look at the fourth prince with the same eyes as in the past. The situation is critical now. Xue Beng has already shown this king his ambitions and a set of strategies for governing the country."< br>
Hearing these words, everyone in the audience was startled. Unexpectedly, Prince Xuexing was determined to assist the fourth prince Xue Beng. And it seems that if you don't agree, no one in the field will leave here alive today.
Master Ren and Master Zhao decided to leave first. As for who will become the king of the empire next, it is up to them to discuss it themselves.
Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting on the chair, slowly raised his head, looked at the proud Prince Xuexing, and immediately clenched the scepter in his hand.
After pondering for a while, he said: "Your Highness, even if you want to establish the fourth prince as emperor, you need to consider it in a long-term way and get the approval of all parties. Now that all forces are ready to move, acting rashly will only make the empire worse. Chaos."
Prince Xue Xing snorted: "How long does Master Yi Ning want to wait? If we wait any longer, the empire will fall apart."
At this time, Xue Beng, who had been silent, stepped forward and saluted everyone with clasped fists: "My lords, Sect Master Ning. I know that I had a bad reputation before, but I have changed my past.
I am willing to Under your witness, I will gradually demonstrate my abilities. If I do anything wrong, you can remove me from the throne at any time. I only hope to contribute to the empire so that the people will no longer suffer and the empire will be restored. Glory.”
Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing Xue Beng’s words.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Beng and thought secretly in his heart. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes. After all, Xue Beng's changes also made him a little curious.
Xue Beng had already taken off his clothes at this moment. Wearing a dragon robe, he walked straight towards the throne,
It was obvious that he couldn't wait any longer. No matter what happened today, he must become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
One of the elders of the Three Dynasties led by him strode forward, pointed to the position of Prince Xue Qinghe, and asked loudly: "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, what do you mean? Now His Majesty just disappeared, you actually You are already wearing a yellow robe, do you want to rebel?"
Xue Beng sat on the throne and said calmly: "Master Li, what you said is wrong again, I am the fourth member of the Tiandou Empire. Prince, my eldest brother is missing, and the next emperor, I should be sitting here, right?”
“How outrageous!”
Minister Li threw his embroidery angrily and said angrily: “ Although you are a prince, His Majesty has not issued a succession order. What you are doing now is undoubtedly not seeking to usurp the throne!”
Xue Beng raised his eyebrows, and then said in a slightly cold voice: "I will give you a chance. As long as you kneel now, I can save you from death."
"At the same time, Mr. Li, as a member of Sanchao Elder, help me draw up an edict for enthroning. The gold and silver mines, the high official and the generous salary are all written by Mr. Li." Once it was written, the entire Douluo Continent would completely understand the current situation, and he would not be considered to have inherited the imperial throne in advance.
However, Mr. Li was full of sarcasm. He immediately pointed at Xue Beng’s nose and cursed: “The unworthy descendant Xue Beng is plotting to usurp the throne. If you have the guts, you can do it in front of the imperial mausoleums of the Tiandou Empire. Kill me, do you dare?"
Xue Beng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said lightly: "I not only want to kill you, but I also want to destroy your nine tribes!"
"So what if ten of my tribes are destroyed!"
