Chapter 193 It Was Fine When I Went There, But I Didn’T Expect That I Wouldn’T Be Able To Come Back!
Wind Spirit Domain.
Yongning City.
Yongning City is the capital of the Great Qing Dynasty, situated within a mountain range.
The city is bustling with noise and activity, with a constant flow of people and vehicles on the streets.
In the center of the city, a towering palace rises thousands of feet high, resplendent in gold and jade, exuding a majestic aura.
In front of this massive palace stands a golden statue of a giant beast, several hundred meters tall, emanating a terrifying pressure.
This is the guardian beast of the Great Qing Dynasty, the Yellow Springs Spirit Turtle.
It is rumored that the Yellow Springs Spirit Turtle possesses the power to reverse yin and yang. It is a unique kind of monster that exists between reality and illusion.
Because of this, it can communicate with the Profound Transcendence Ghost Realm, harnessing the immense power within to battle. It can also devour the vitality of the heavens and earth to strengthen itself, and even consume the souls of the living. It is an extremely formidable monster.
It is said that this Yellow Springs Spirit Turtle once brought calamity to the Wind Spirit Domain, causing countless deaths and destruction, before being subdued by the founding emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Since then, this Yellow Springs Spirit Turtle has transformed and become the guardian beast of the Great Qing Dynasty.
At this moment,
The outskirts of Yongning City are filled with densely packed soldiers, guarding the entire city.
The city walls are tall and heavily guarded, with various defensive and offensive formations ready to be activated at a moment's notice.
Although it may not be apparent on the surface, the atmosphere in Yongning City is extremely serious, as if facing a great enemy, with a sense of impending storm.
At the same time,
Inside the imperial palace of the Great Qing Dynasty, a morning court session is being held.
A group of ministers gather on the court, whispering to each other.
Their faces are stern, filled with sorrow and grief.
"Is His Majesty really... never coming back?!" one minister mournfully exclaims.
"His Majesty is the pride of our Great Qing royal family, and the hope of our Great Qing Dynasty!"
"Ah!"
"That damned Emperor of the Great Qin, how dare he... how dare he kill so many Saints?! Even our Majesty was not spared! Is he trying to wage war against our Great Qing?!"
"Is he insane! Doesn't he want to live?!"
"Poor our Majesty, so young, and..."
In the hall, there is a chorus of mourning and sorrow, with cries of grief filling the air.
These ministers never imagined that their own Majesty, who left in good health, would never return! And along with several accompanying Saints, they all died in the northern border of the Great Qin.
For the Great Qing Dynasty, this is undoubtedly a painful loss and a terrible tragedy!
"The Great Qin Dynasty deserves to die!"
The other generals are also filled with indignation, roaring with anger, filled with righteous fury, wishing to completely annihilate the Great Qin.
They have completely forgotten that if it weren't for their own Great Qing Emperor Li Chengtian's greed, none of these events would have occurred.
"Gentlemen!"
At this moment, an elderly man in a white robe suddenly stands up and speaks loudly:
"Gentlemen, let us not mourn for now. Although His Majesty has passed away, we still need to rise up and seek revenge for him. Otherwise, His Majesty will not rest in peace!"
The old man's hair and beard have turned white, but his stature is imposing, and his aura is steady. He is a Semi-Saint of the Great Qing Dynasty.
He is Chen Shouli, the prime minister of the Great Qing Dynasty, wielding great power in both civil and military affairs.
"The prime minister is right!"
"How can our Great Qing royal family be slaughtered like this?!"
"The army is ready, and we can crush the Great Qin at any time!"
"I have made sufficient preparations. The Great Qin Emperor is bound to be defeated!"
"The crimes of the Great Qin Emperor are unforgivable. We must not let him off lightly!"
The generals and soldiers lined up one after another, passionately expressing their opinions and making strong statements.
Chen Shouli glanced at everyone, his face serious.
"Nowadays, the major forces in the Wind Spirit Domain are already gathering, and the downfall of Great Qin is only a matter of time."
"But our Great Qing Dynasty cannot be without an emperor for even a day, so I believe that before we march against Great Qin, we should immediately select a new emperor!"
The crowd hesitated, discussing among themselves and appearing somewhat hesitant.
After all, inheriting the throne was an extremely important matter, which would determine the fate of the dynasty.
"What are your concerns?" Chen Shouli asked with a frown.
The courtiers' eyes flickered, clearly having different thoughts.
Soon, someone suggested, "I think we can crown the eighth prince, Li Xuanye, as the emperor!"
"Yes! Only the eighth prince is suitable for this important task!"
Someone else echoed, "The eighth prince, Li Xuanye, has gained the favor of His Majesty, possesses extraordinary talent, and is knowledgeable. He is the perfect candidate!"
"Agreed!"
But soon, someone raised an objection, "The eighth prince has a shallow background and his cultivation is not top-notch. It might not be appropriate for him to inherit the throne hastily, right?"
"We should reconsider! Although the eighth prince is outstanding, his background is still shallow."
"That's right, and now the Great Qing Dynasty is facing many challenges. If the eighth prince ascends the throne, he might face resistance from the major forces within the country!"
"That's true. I suggest the seventh prince, Li Xuanfeng, would be more suitable."
"Yes, I also support the seventh prince!"
"I think the third prince is more suitable."
...
Soon, the court became chaotic, with endless debates and discussions.
Many military officers also joined in.
For a while, everyone argued fiercely, expressing their own opinions and debating endlessly.
"Absurd!"
Chen Shouli became furious and shouted, "The one who should inherit the throne is the eldest prince! He is the hope of the Great Qing Dynasty!"
"Unfortunately, His Majesty has been assassinated, and according to the rules, the eldest son should inherit the throne!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, bowing their heads in silence.
Indeed, the throne should be inherited by the eldest son, Li Xuanyao.
Although the eldest prince's talent and abilities were not as outstanding as the other princes, he was the rightful heir in name.
This point was beyond doubt.
Chen Shouli looked around and said in a deep voice, "Since no one has any objections, according to my decision, let the eldest prince ascend the throne and take control of the Great Qing Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, tacitly agreeing.
Although they didn't fully support this choice and had other candidates they preferred, the situation was urgent. The fate of the Great Qing Dynasty was in serious decline, and no one dared to cause further turmoil.
Otherwise, if the Great Qing Dynasty lost its emperor and several Saints, it could possibly fall apart and never recover.
The eldest prince, Li Xuanyao, was the rightful heir as the eldest son, and it was only natural for him to inherit the throne.
"At this time, the princes should still be guarding the imperial mausoleum for His Majesty. Should we inform them first?" a minister asked.
The other courtiers nodded in agreement.
Originally, they should also be guarding the imperial mausoleum for Li Chengtian, but the current situation was special. They had to maintain the operation of the Great Qing Dynasty, so only the princes were guarding the mausoleum.
Chen Shouli also nodded, stroking his beard and saying, "I will go and inform the princes now."
At this moment,
On the steps outside the grand hall, a young girl with bare feet was climbing up step by step.
