Chapter 320 Sun Yu proclaims himself emperor, and his country is named Aolai
They weren't foolish; for them, following a general versus following an Empire's monarch, the latter would certainly allow their families to flourish more.
Therefore, at this moment, even though they felt very dazed by the current situation,
they followed Porcupinefish and Snake Lance and spoke up.
"No, I can't. Crown Prince has just died, how can I..."
Sun Yu looked at the people kneeling beside him and said with a solemn expression.
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Dugu Bo take Xue Beng's emperor's robes and drape them over himself.
Then, he directly tossed Xue Beng's corpse aside with one hand.
He pressed Sun Yu onto the dragon throne and said with a solemn tone,
"Xiao Yu, for the Empire, I can only trouble you..."
"Frost Flame Earl, for the Empire, I can only trouble you..."
Sun Yu looked at everyone present and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"Everyone, what virtue or ability do I, Sun Yu, possess to sit on such a grand throne?!"
"Your Majesty, Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince entrusted the Empire to you just before his death; we all witnessed it. Moreover, besides you, who else in the entire Empire is fit to be emperor?!
Or are you saying you want to see the entire Empire fall into internal strife and conflict over this throne?! Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
As the voice of the leader, Snake Lance Douluo, rang out,
the others also knelt down and cheered.
Especially Niu Gao and the other two, their excited expressions were almost uncontrollable.
"You, you... Alas, you have truly brought hardship upon this lonely one..."
"..."
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi, after seeing Dugu Bo leave, had just gathered to discuss how to appease Xue Qinghe.
However, immediately after, when they heard that Xue Beng had assassinated Xue Qinghe before his death, and at the same time, Xue Qinghe had entrusted the throne to Frost Flame Earl Sun Yu before his death, all three were instantly stunned.
Xue Beng's death was within their expectations.
But Xue Qinghe's death was absolutely unexpected.
And what they absolutely did not expect was that Xue Qinghe, before his death, actually entrusted the throne to Sun Yu?!
Xue Qinghe died, and the emperor became Sun Yu?!
What the hell is going on?!
Is this still the imperial family they knew?!
However, as this news spread from within the Imperial Palace,
not only was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stunned, but many nobles who received the first-hand news were also astonished.
Including the former members of the Royal Fight Team.
Their families were discussing.
And they themselves were exclaiming in their hearts,
"My goodness, a former classmate is now the emperor?!"
And within the Imperial Palace, Sun Yu, who knew how much turmoil this news would cause, began to issue orders.
"Everyone, ascending to the imperial throne is not a simple matter. Since Crown Prince entrusted the throne to me, even if I am unwilling to accept it, I can only accept it. Now, I need you to help me handle some matters!
First, all the major nobles in Heaven Dou City must be appeased; they cannot be allowed to cause too much commotion. Snake Lance, Porcupinefish, this matter is entrusted to you. You are the Crown Prince's retainers, and thus can better represent the authority of this matter!
Grandpa, you go watch the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Just don't let them act rashly!
Patriarch Niu Gao, Patriarch Yang Wudi, Patriarch Bai He, the three of you go outside and lead the personal guards, ready to suppress any opposition by force at any time!
Ling Yan, you stay and protect me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, as Sun Yu's orders were issued,
everyone quickly left the area.
And the happiest of all was Dugu Bo.
The emperor, his own grandson-in-law, is actually the current emperor, hehehehe....
Soon, only Sun Yu and Ling Yan were left in the main hall.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Sun Yu finally let out a heavy sigh.
"Alright, Sister Xue'er, get up. No one's here..."
"Hehe, Xiao Yu, I acted pretty well, didn't I? Hmm, wearing the robes, you really do have a bit of an emperor's aura!"
Qian Renxue stood up from the ground, took off her robes, and restored her original appearance.
She sat beside Sun Yu and chuckled softly.
"Phew, you only had to act for such a short time and you're going back. I'm going to be miserable; being an emperor isn't easy..."
Sun Yu said with a helpless, bitter smile.
"Oh, Big Sister, I have to go back to inherit the God Position. This kind of thing can't be delayed, so I can only trouble you a bit! Besides, the imperial throne is something countless people seek but cannot obtain, and you're even disliking it..."
Qian Renxue patted Sun Yu's head and laughed.
"God Position, Sister Xue'er, do you have confidence?!"
Sun Yu asked, looking at Qian Renxue.
Although according to the original work, Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood was inevitable,
the current situation was vastly different from the original work, so Sun Yu inevitably felt worried.
"No confidence. That's a deity! There haven't been legends of deities on the Continent for a thousand years..."
Qian Renxue also had no confidence in this, shaking her head with a bitter smile.
"Alright then, Sister Xue'er, you should go back to Saras first. I still need to go find Snow Ke..."
"Find Snow Ke? Could it be that you..."
"Snow Ke is, after all, the last bloodline of the Heaven Dou imperial family. If she agrees, the voices of opposition will be much smaller..."
Looking at Sun Yu's solemn gaze, Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
Then she quickly left the place.
Sun Yu then took Ling Yan and hurried towards the back of the Imperial Palace.
During this period of turmoil in Heaven Dou City, Snow Ke had been confined to her room and not allowed to leave.
Therefore, it was still very easy to find her.
Thus, in the blink of an eye, a day passed.
The next day, the people in Heaven Dou City, still immersed in the shock of the Empire's ruler changing, received another, more accurate piece of news from within the Imperial Palace.
Sun Yu ascended to the throne, and Snow Ke married Sun Yu as the first empress, with the wedding date to be chosen later.
And at the same time, after Sun Yu ascended to the throne, he also changed the national title of Heaven Dou to 'Aolai'...
At this point, as this news began to spread with the wind to every corner of the Douluo Continent,
everyone was stunned.
At the nearest Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi, upon learning this news, almost fainted directly.
Originally, with Xue Qinghe's backing, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still had the possibility of negotiating with Sun Yu.
But now, with Sun Yu ascending to the throne and becoming the ruler of a nation, those past events would immediately become an excuse for Sun Yu to attempt to trample their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with cavalry.
Now, Ning Fengzhi truly and deeply experienced what it meant to regret his past actions of indulging Rongrong and offending Sun Yu.
If they had fostered a good relationship with Sun Yu back then,
If he had been more resolute back then, abandoned Tang San, and chosen Sun Yu,
then now, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have a powerful nation as their background and backing.
At least within the several hundred years of Sun Yu's life, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not need to worry about any crisis of their sect being destroyed.
