Chapter 108

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

Xue Beng decided decisively: "It's better to choose a day than to hit a day; our time is tight, so why don't we set the action time for this morning."

"I will take the family heads into the court on the grounds of dealing with the Wu Hun Empire's army, and then as long as we take the opportunity to suppress Wanyan Army, our great plan can be achieved."

"In addition, outside the palace, please also ask the family heads to arrange it first, which can well hold back the Imperial Guard's support for the palace."

"We still have some time, family heads, go quickly and return quickly."

"I will wait for you at the entrance of the palace."

"Good, Prince Xue, we will go one step ahead." The fourteen family heads left Xue Beng's Prince's Mansion one after another.

After returning to their respective families, they began to arrange and gather people.

The unified order was that they would approach the palace only after they and Prince Xue entered the palace for a while, and loudly beg Xue Qinghe to surrender.

After arranging everything, the fourteen family heads then went to meet Xue Beng at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace as agreed beforehand.

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire.

Outside the palace.

Xue Beng had been waiting for a long time.

"Family heads, let's go."

The fourteen family heads followed Xue Beng's pace, but just as they arrived at the palace gate, they were stopped by the guarding soldiers.

"Prince Xue, they are not ministers in the court; is it appropriate for them to go in together?"

"Hmph, I have discussed the great plan to resist the soul with the fourteen family heads, and now there is a result; you still want to stop us? Seeing that the Wu Hun Empire is about to attack, if the arrangement is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Family heads, follow me in; I will bear whatever happens, saving the country from water and fire is more important." Xue Beng pushed away the soldiers who stopped them and entered the palace.

The fourteen family heads hurried to follow.

The two guarding soldiers looked at each other and didn't dare to stop them again, but it was very necessary to report it up.

One of the soldiers gave instructions to the other, and then ran straight to Xue Qinghe's bedroom, intending to report this matter to Xue Qinghe.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe was still cultivating.

He listened to the report of the guarding soldier and went to the court for the first time.

At the same time, the clansmen and subordinates of the fourteen families saw that their family heads had entered the palace for a while, and they approached the palace in unison, shouting: "Your Majesty, we don't want to die, surrender..."

The outside of the palace was suddenly in chaos.

Xue Qinghe had already issued an order that the word surrender could not appear in Tian Dou City, otherwise, they would all be beheaded.

Seeing so many people shouting to surrender, the guarding soldiers only felt that wind and rain were coming to Tian Dou City.

But with the emperor's order, one of the soldiers quickly reported this scene to the general.

The general brought people to suppress it, but the effect was not good; the people of the fourteen major families started to resist with people who didn't know the truth.

Tian Dou City was completely in chaos.

Inside the palace.

"I heard that younger brother has a good plan to resist the Wu Hun Empire's army; younger brother, tell me quickly, how should we resist the Wu Hun Empire's army in the current situation?"

Xue Qinghe's voice had anger; how could he not know about the noisy sound outside.

He never expected that one day they brothers would reach the point of becoming enemies.

Why be greedy for life and afraid of death, why compromise with the father's killer; even if they surrendered, they wouldn't have a way to survive, why couldn't his brother understand such a simple truth. The arrow is on the string, it has to be sent.

Xue Beng said bluntly: "Brother, the current plan is only to surrender to the Wu Hun Empire, to bow down to the Wu Hun Empire, so that there is a possibility of preserving the Heaven Dou Empire."

"As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood; the Wu Hun Empire cannot be prosperous forever, as long as we are willing to wait, we will definitely be able to wait for the day the Wu Hun Empire declines."

"Even if we can't wait, we can let our sons wait, if our sons can't wait, we can let our grandsons wait, children and grandchildren, endless, we will always be able to wait for the decline of the Wu Hun Empire one day."

"Brother, don't be obsessed and go your own way; surrender, listen to the voices of the people outside, can you bear to let them go to die?"

"Absurd, absurd, do you think that by surrendering to the Wu Hun Empire, the Wu Hun Empire will let us go, let the people outside go?"

"When the Wu Hun Empire's army breaks the city, when has it not been a mass slaughter."

"Death is death either way, it's better to fight the Wu Hun Empire to the death and let the Wu Hun Empire know that our Heaven Dou Empire is not to be bullied."

Xue Beng said helplessly: "Brother, you are too paranoid; I have inquired about the reason for the Wu Hun Empire's slaughter of the city; these slaughtered people are all those who are disrespectful to the Wu Hun Empire."

"As long as we surrender first, show the attitude of surrender, and bow down to the Wu Hun Empire, the Wu Hun Empire's army will not slaughter us."

"Brother, turn back." Xue Beng finally softened his heart and was trying to persuade Xue Qinghe to surrender and forbear.

The fourteen family heads frowned; this was not the result they wanted.

Fortunately, Xue Qinghe's attitude was hard enough, and he scolded Xue Beng loudly again, even wanting to kill him.

Xue Beng took a deep breath and said: "Brother, I can't watch you lead the Heaven Dou Empire into an irreversible situation."

"You are already crazy, you are not worthy of being the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Family heads, do it."

As Xue Beng's words "do it" fell, the fourteen family heads breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They divided into two groups, one toward Wanyan Army, and one toward Xue Qinghe.

Xue Beng looked at the civil and military officials and said: "I hope you can support me; I want to bring you vitality."

"Now is the time for you to express your stance."

Duke Kang saw that the time was ripe and was the first to jump out and say: "I am willing to follow Emperor Xue Beng to the death."

"We are also willing to follow Emperor Xue Beng to the death." The ministers who had a good private relationship with Duke Kang also stood behind Xue Beng one after another.

In an instant, the group of officials moved, and more than half of the ministers supported Xue Beng; they didn't want to become Xue Qinghe's burial objects.

This scene almost made Xue Qinghe half-dead with anger; he fought to the death while scolding: "A bunch of greedy and fearful things."

"Do you think you have a way to survive by surrendering to the Wu Hun Empire?"

"You all have to die, you all have to die."

The dispute of the royal family finally came to an end.

Xue Qinghe, Wanyan Army, and a series of ministers who were unwilling to surrender to the Wu Hun Empire finally became corpses.

Xue Beng successfully became the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Beng stepped onto the throne and said: "Hang the white flag high, open the city gates wide, and welcome the arrival of the Wu Hun Empire to show our sincerity in surrendering to Heaven Dou."

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers were happy, as if they had already seen the scene where they survived.
