Chapter 107

Having reached a consensus, the ministers who wanted to rebel against the Heaven Dou Empire also left the secret meeting place one after another.

That night.

Duke Kang made contact with Xue Beng, and based on his years of experience as an old fox, he could judge that Xue Beng was sincerely trying to find a way to continue to survive.

However, with Duke Kang's caution, even if he had some grasp of Xue Beng's thoughts, he was still prepared to test Xue Beng.

He gave Xue Beng some suggestions.

After speaking, Duke Kang left Xue Beng's residence, but he didn't go far.

Xue Beng felt that Duke Kang's suggestions were quite good; he had known for a long time that these ministers like Duke Kang had different thoughts.

But these ministers were all in the court, and he was afraid of being discovered by his brother—Xue Qinghe—so he didn't secretly contact these ministers.

Even though he had been extremely careful, many rumors still leaked out.

Every time Xue Qinghe asked about it, he used various methods to muddle through.

In fact, until now, Xue Beng also knew that Xue Qinghe was already suspicious of him, but because of his identity as his brother, and because he didn't involve the ministers in the court, Xue Qinghe didn't pursue it too much.

Therefore, Xue Beng was a bit unwelcoming to Duke Kang's arrival, but he wanted to see what kind of tricks this old guy wanted to play, so he met him.

Fortunately, Duke Kang didn't discuss anything too excessive, which made Xue Beng feel relieved; both of them were in a stage of testing each other.

However, Duke Kang's suggestions were indeed quite good, and he really wanted to try them.

But this matter still needed to be extremely cautious; if it were really successful, presumably his weight to the Wu Hun Empire would increase, and the chances of surviving in the end would be greatly increased.

It wouldn't be long before the Wu Hun Empire's army reached Tian Dou City, and he had to speed up his pace and control the overall situation.

It seems necessary to secretly contact the Soul Masters he had gathered during this time again.

Xue Beng left his palace.

Duke Kang looked at Xue Beng, who was leaving the Prince's Mansion, and revealed a satisfied smile; he knew that Xue Beng had taken his words to heart, and it was time for the Heaven Dou Empire to change to a wise ruler.

After Xue Beng left his mansion, he arrived at a quiet place where no one was around, left a signal that he needed to meet, and then left the quiet place and returned to his Prince's Mansion.

The next night.

Xue Beng went to the place where he usually listened to music as agreed last night.

In a first-class private room, talented people played music, beauties danced, and Xue Beng was already sitting in the first seat.

Everyone was present, totaling fifteen people.

These people were just a part of the Soul Masters Xue Beng had gathered; their cultivation was medium, and they could contact the people behind them and manage the Soul Masters whose cultivation was not as good as theirs.

After three rounds of wine, Xue Beng waved his hand, dismissed the talented people and beauties, and only the fifteen of them were left in the large private room.

Taking advantage of the wine, Xue Beng said: "I summoned you brothers here today to express the annoyance in my heart."

"You should have also heard about many things that have happened in the court recently."

"My brother has become obsessed, and I really can't bear to see Tian Dou City destroyed under my brother's obsession, and I can't bear to see tens of thousands of people die because of it."

"I know doing this will carry some infamy, but this infamy is simply not worth mentioning compared to tens of thousands of lives."

"Brothers, you are as young as I am and have a bright future; are you really willing to die in Tian Dou City?"

"Prince Xue, we are naturally unwilling; if Prince Xue has any good ideas, please tell us, and we will be very grateful."

Xue Beng thought about it again and again and said cautiously: "I think the Heaven Dou Empire should have a more wise emperor to bring new hope to the Heaven Dou Empire, and we can no longer let my brother harm the Heaven Dou Empire."

"What do you brothers think?" The fourteen people looked at each other.

Xue Beng was also quite nervous in his heart; if today's conversation spread out, even if he had blood ties with Xue Qinghe, Xue Qinghe wouldn't let him go.

However, Xue Beng had full confidence in himself; he treated these people quite well on weekdays, and coupled with his understanding of these people's temperaments and the attitudes of the families behind them, he felt that these people wouldn't spread today's conversation.

Moreover, the families behind these people also had a great chance of supporting him as the new emperor.

After all, the families he chose had been carefully considered, and he knew that these people didn't want to die in Tian Dou City just like him.

Soon, the fourteen people exchanged glances, and they flattered in unison: "Prince Xue, compared to Xue Qinghe, you are more democratic, more understanding of forbearance, and naturally more suitable to become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"But you also know that this matter is of great importance and is not something we can decide; we still need to ask the old guys in the family."

"Understand, understand."

"However, let them be as fast as possible; seeing that the Wu Hun Empire's army is getting closer and closer to Tian Dou City, if we are late, we will completely lose our last chance."

"If they intend to make me the new emperor, let them come to my mansion to find me when the sun rises tomorrow, and I will discuss the great plan with them."

"Prince Xue, we will definitely tell our family heads your words."

"If there is nothing else, we will leave first."

"Brothers, walk slowly."

The fourteen people bid farewell to Xue Beng one by one; they had to leave quickly and report the news they learned tonight to the heads of their respective families.

Xue Beng also left in the end.

In the Prince's Mansion, Xue Beng began a long wait.

Before the sun rose, people in black robes appeared one after another around Xue Beng's mansion.

They were all heads of major families in Tian Dou City, with deep cultivation, and sneaked into the Prince's Mansion without alarming the guards of the Prince's Mansion.

This was obviously intentional by Xue Beng.

In the main room of the Prince's Mansion, people in black appeared one after another.

Xue Beng naturally knew the identities of these people in black and was not panicked, having already dressed neatly and waiting for them.

The heads of major families intended to keep it short and get straight to the point.

"Prince Xue, tell us your plan."

"My plan is very simple; as long as we take down this old stubborn Wanyan Army, our great plan can succeed."

"More than half of the ministers in the court are very dissatisfied with Xue Qinghe, but the old stubborn Wanyan holds the military power in his heart and is very stubborn, supporting Xue Qinghe."

"After Wanyan Army dies, I have the confidence to call on the ministers to support me as the new emperor."

"As long as I become the new emperor, I will surrender to the Wu Hun Empire at the first opportunity and try to preserve the interests of the families present."

Afterward, Xue Beng made detailed additions to the plan.

The fourteen family heads felt that the feasibility was very high.

Although there was a risk of failure, if they didn't fight for it and let Xue Qinghe mess around, they would only have the path of death in the end.

Opportunities are lost if they are not seized, and in the end, all family heads agreed to Xue Beng's plan to let Xue Beng become the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"When shall we act?" one of the family heads asked.
