Chapter 168 Xu Qingzhou Appoints the New Emperor
Inside the main hall, everyone was surprised to see Xu Qingzhou, followed by a sigh of disappointment.
I thought he was a savior, but it turned out to be him.
Even if the Xu family is currently very powerful, and Xu Qingzhou's talent surpasses that of the Ninth Prince, could he possibly kill ten Dharma Aspect Realm experts?
They're so arrogant and ignorant; of all times, they had to come to their deaths.
When Song Yushu saw Xu Qingzhou, her beautiful eyes lit up with admiration, and she couldn't help but think.
"Could he have come to rescue me?"
The Great Chu Ancestor chuckled.
“We were just about to finish up our business here and head to the Xu family to wipe them out when you delivered yourself right to our doorstep.”
Before they came, they had done their research. In the entire Great Qi Dynasty, apart from the royal family, the most noteworthy family was the Xu family of Lingyue City.
The Xu family has produced three prodigies in succession, all of whom are exceptionally talented.
But it turns out that the clan leader, Xu Qingzhou, was the one who was hiding the deepest secret.
Such families must be dealt with in order to make the rule of one's own dynasty more stable.
Therefore, even if Xu Qingzhou doesn't come, they still have to go to the Xu family.
Xu Qingzhou smiled calmly, showing no fear whatsoever.
"It doesn't matter, dying sooner or later is the same. Now that I'm here, you can die sooner and be reincarnated sooner."
A fool would find his words laughable, but anyone with a modicum of sense would think that he must have some kind of backing to dare to say such a thing.
"boom!"
The Great Chu Ancestor suddenly made his move, reaching out to grab Xu Qingzhou, intending to kill him instantly.
Unfortunately, by the time Xu Qingzhou appeared, everything was already set in stone.
"Whizzing!"
Just as the Great Chu Ancestor made his move, beams of yellow light flashed by.
The ten Dharma Aspect Realm Ancestors died one after another, losing all their vitality.
This process took less than a breath, and the ten patriarchs who stood at the pinnacle of the three dynasties died just like that.
Before anyone could even react, they saw their bodies fall to the ground at the same time.
Their eyes widened in shock.
This, this, this...
How could this be?! This was a Dharma Aspect Realm expert! How could they kill him like a stray dog on the street? It's too casual and too easy!!
I haven't seen Xu Qingzhou make a move. Besides, he only exchanged two blows with the Ninth Prince a few years ago, and now he's already this strong.
Is this reasonable?
"It certainly wasn't Xu Qingzhou who did it," he whispered to the person beside him.
"It's troublesome for old man Kong."
Xu Qingzhou reached out and grabbed the corpses of the ten patriarchs, then looked at Song Yushu.
"Sixth Princess, I hope you can stabilize the situation as soon as possible after you ascend the throne, and then come to the Xu family again."
"Furthermore, I do not wish for the events that occurred in the main hall today to be made public."
"Farewell."
Xu Qingzhou's figure vanished instantly, as if he had never been there at all.
Everyone suddenly came to their senses.
Xu Qingzhou's intentions were quite clear: he wanted Song Yushu to ascend the throne.
In the past, they wouldn't have taken Xu Qingzhou's words seriously at all.
But Xu Qingzhou just now dealt with ten Dharma Aspect Realm elders. He supports Song Yushu. Who would dare to oppose him?
"brush!"
The officials were masters of opportunism; without a word, they knelt before the Sixth Princess and shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live ten thousand years, as long as the heavens."
The Third Prince and Ninth Prince, who were still standing, were in an extremely awkward position. Kneeling was something they were not used to, but if they did not kneel, they might die. In the end, they had no choice but to kneel down as well.
Song Yushu remained calm and walked upwards step by step. With each step, her imperial aura grew stronger until she reached the top and sat on the dragon throne.
In that instant, her imperial aura became extremely intense, as if a golden dragon was circling around her.
It was as if he had awakened some special constitution related to emperors.
This silenced all the officials below, who lowered their heads in terror.
The Third Prince and the Ninth Prince had complicated expressions.
Looking at the large number of officials and the True Martial King standing behind him, the Ninth Prince felt that his position as Crown Prince was secure.
The moment the Great Chu Ancestor appeared, the Third Prince thought his position as Crown Prince was secure.
Who could have imagined that the situation would change so quickly? Xu Qingzhou, a nobody they once looked down upon, is now able to influence the appointment and removal of the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.
He had only been there a short while when everything was settled.
They failed to obtain the throne they so desperately desired, and instead, the sixth princess, whom they had previously paid little attention to, sat on the throne.
Song Yushu spoke slowly, her voice authoritative.
"From this day forward, the name of the nation shall be changed to the Great Qian Dynasty..."
She issued a series of orders in one go, which subsequently caused a huge upheaval within the dynasty.
The army under Song Yushu's command on the frontier rushed to the capital immediately. With many trusted and powerful confidants there, Song Yushu began a swift and decisive purge of the entire dynasty.
The matter was being discussed everywhere, from the streets to the alleys.
"My God! I never expected that the Sixth Princess would ascend the throne!"
"In the history of the three great dynasties, there has never been an empress. The Sixth Princess has set a precedent!"
"I just want to know how she managed to beat the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince."
"Wasn't it said that the emperor would ascend the throne a year after the crown prince was appointed? Why did he ascend the throne directly? Where is Emperor Qi? Could he be dead?"
This matter is shrouded in doubt, so the discussions will not subside anytime soon. Most importantly, there are many opposing voices.
However, under Song Yushu's ruthless methods, all dissenting voices were quickly suppressed, and some family forces were even directly destroyed.
He then placed capable confidants in key positions, controlling the court and various prefectures, which quickly stabilized the Great Qian Dynasty and prevented any unrest from breaking out.
Compared to before, it seems that the only changes are that the Qi Emperor has been replaced by Song Yushu, and the Great Qi has become the Great Qian; otherwise, there haven't been many changes.
As for the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince, their fate was obvious; the forces and confidants who were close to them all perished along with them.
This was only a month after she ascended the throne, which shows how shrewd her methods were.
Following Xu Qingzhou's advice, Song Yushu stabilized her condition and then personally went to the Xu family in Lingyue City.
Normally, as the monarch of a dynasty, Song Yushu should be welcomed and worshipped by the people wherever she goes.
But when she arrived at the Xu family, they didn't react at all. They didn't take her seriously at all, as if she wasn't the queen, but just an ordinary person.
The Xu family has only one faith: their patriarch, Xu Qingzhou. No one else can influence them.
Of course, if it were Princess Xu Ying, her words would carry a lot of weight.
Song Yushu didn't take it seriously and accepted it calmly. After all, without the Xu family, the Great Qi would be gone, and she would not only be unable to ascend the throne, but would also die.
