Chapter 119: Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate? Qian Renxue: The Xue family is gone, so what does the Spirit Hall have to do with it?
"That's right and wrong. I suspect Mr. Pang Zi may have been murdered by Wang Chen! That way, Wang Chen can reap the greatest benefits!"
"Wang Chen must have been unable to pay the interest and resorted to rogue tactics. After being rejected by Mr. Pang Zi, he harbored the idea of murder!"
"I strongly urge the officials of the Heaven Dou Empire to thoroughly investigate Wang Chen!"
Public opinion was immediately rife.
Countless people from both the Heaven Dou Empire and the Xing Luo Empire cursed Wang Chen.
But Wang Chen, meanwhile, simply lay back and checked his trust list.
Everyone believed there was a mysterious force behind Wang Chen!
Consequently, trust points poured in!
Wang Chen was practically laughing his head off.
If this continued, all he needed was trust points to reveal the "real sect" behind him, and he could unify the Douluo!
Maybe even a true god!
Unbeknownst to Wang Chen, clan forces, led by the Tang family, had already invaded the imperial palace...
...
in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, known as the "Pearl of the Orient."
Today, however, was shrouded in an unprecedented atmosphere of tension.
Within the imperial palace, the lights were ablaze, and the air was thick with a tense atmosphere.
Their gazes were determined and piercing, directed at Emperor Xue Ye, seated on the throne, and... beside him, Xue Qinghe, a woman so beautiful she could turn any man to a lesbian.
The atmosphere within the hall was solemn, as if even time had stood still.
"Your Majesty!"
Tang Hao's voice echoed through the empty hall. His gaze fixed directly on Emperor Xue Ye, seated on the throne. His tone was heavy and resonant, devoid of a trace of respect, as if he were the emperor.
"We have come here regarding the matter of Holy Soul Village. Your Majesty, please be discerning,"
Tang Hao said in a tone that was half-commanding.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye remained silent for a moment, pondering how to respond to Tang Hao and the others. He couldn't appear too weak, nor too strong; he needed to strike the right balance.
Truth be told, being an emperor is truly difficult!
He only has the title of emperor, but is bullied by various clan forces and the Spirit Hall. How frustrating!
After two seconds of silence in the hall, Emperor Xue Ye finally spoke: "Your Majesty Haotian, what do you want to report?"
His words were half majestic and half speechless. Can't you solve it yourselves? Why do you have to come to me? What kind of problem are you trying to give me?
Tang Hao said: "Your Majesty, we are here today not for personal revenge, but for the great plan of the Tiandou Empire!"
"Great plan?!"
Upon hearing this word, Emperor Xue Ye's brows were immediately furrowed!
This word is terrible, it's going to cause a big uproar! Moral kidnapping of the emperor!
But Emperor Xue Ye couldn't afford to be negligent, and immediately asked with concern: "Your Majesty Haotian, if you have any important matters, please tell us quickly."
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Notting City and Holy Soul Village in Fanos Province?"
Tang Hao asked, but he continued: "Wang Chen committed fraud in the name of the country in the development of Holy Soul Village. He promised the people prosperity and peace, but only gave them poverty and despair!"
"Puff..."
Emperor Xue Ye almost spit out what he said when he heard this. Tang Hao started to talk nonsense! He naturally knew about Wang Chen's affairs in Notting City. Notting City's tax revenue this month exceeded that of all provinces in China in a year!
And the proceeds from the sale of land and mountains were enormous.
Meanwhile, Notting City had developed into a first-tier city. This month's economic activity, in particular, far exceeded that of any other city on the continent!
The people of Notting City and those surrounding it had received enormous benefits, and their lives were far better than before.
While prices in Notting City were high, locals received direct food distribution, and high-paying jobs were readily available!
How could this be the poverty and despair Tang Hao had described?
"Your Majesty Haotian, I've heard of Wang Chen's affairs, but I didn't expect them to cause such a stir. Wang Chen's taxes are high. Is his behavior truly unacceptable?"
Emperor Xue Ye asked gravely, attempting to intercede on Wang Chen's behalf. If he could harness this kind of talent, perhaps he could eventually break free from the oppression of the various powers exerting pressure on the imperial power.
Tang Hao spoke without hesitation, affirming, "Yes! Your Majesty, right now, it's not just the people of Notting who are angry, but also the people of other parts of the Heaven Dou Empire. Their anger is like a volcano about to erupt. Once it erupts, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I estimate it will shake the foundation of the empire!"
This was a naked threat.
If he didn't get a satisfactory answer to this matter, he might be torn down from the throne!
Emperor Xue Ye was panicked, his gaze sweeping over the people below him one by one, like an enemy army approaching a city!
"Your Majesty, we're not against development, but we're against this type of development that disregards the lives of the people."
Representatives from other factions also spoke up. "If Wang Chen is allowed to continue like this, the very foundations of the Heaven Dou Empire will be shaken, and the people's hearts will fall."
"Everyone, I understand your concerns,"
Emperor Xue Ye gritted his teeth and spoke slowly. "However, Wang Chen's talent for economic development is undeniable. The Heaven Dou Empire's finances have improved significantly under his leadership."
This statement seemed to be spoken for Wang Chen, but it was actually for himself. He wanted to express his anger, to express that he had dignity and could not be manipulated at will.
It wasn't ineffective, but... completely useless.
"Your Majesty, Wang Chen's actions have already caused widespread dissatisfaction. If they aren't stopped, they could truly lead to chaos!"
"Your Majesty, financial improvements shouldn't be built on the suffering of the people. Without the people's support, what good is all that wealth?"
Some ministers then spoke up, siding with Tang Hao.
Everyone was a shrewd person. Didn't they know what to say now?
Emperor Xue Ye fell silent, listening to these alarmist words. He felt as if he was fighting alone, as if the whole world was against him, and he was the only one left. How lonely he felt.
He glanced at Xue Qinghe beside him, and was about to order Wang Chen to stop developing the area.
Xue Qinghe suddenly stood up and said, "You all have a point. I will immediately send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. If Wang Chen is really as you say, I will not tolerate it!"
Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye was stunned!
Tang Hao, Yu Yuanzhen and others were also stunned!
How could this prince Xue Qinghe, who was sitting quietly and beautifully, who looked like a man, suddenly speak?
Don't you know how terrible the current situation is?
If things go wrong, the Xue family will become history in the Tiandou Empire!
Do you really think the Tiandou Empire belongs to your Xue family?
"Alas, Qinghe has always been so calm, why is he so impulsive and irrational now? He's still too young, after all, and doesn't understand the true situation facing our Tiandou Xue Clan," Emperor Xue Ye thought to himself, anxious for Xue Qinghe.
If these people dislike him, he won't be able to hold onto the throne!
There are so many ways to destroy him!
But Emperor Xue Ye had no idea that Xue Qinghe was long gone. The current Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall impersonating him!
Qian Renxue said, "What does the Spirit Hall have to do with the destruction of your Tiandou Xue Clan?"
Wang Chen's diary revealed that Qian Renxue had already recognized the situation. Going undercover in Tiandou Imperial City was the most foolish choice!
If the undercover mission failed, she could escape her constraints.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to wait, but not for long. The people's patience is limited."
Tang Hao ignored him, looking over Xue Qinghe and speaking meaningfully to Emperor Xue Ye...
