Zuan did not refuse the marriage proposal.

He is no longer the innocent boy he once was. Marriage is not something that can be done entirely based on one's feelings; one must consider the pros and cons.

Dorgon now has many enemies and urgently needs to win over his confidants. If we refuse his overtures, we might even turn against him.

In this dangerous situation, we need to unite all forces that can be united and avoid making too many enemies.

In addition, Zhao Xiaodie helped him a lot this time and did not reveal the identities of the Little Demon Queen and Jiang Luofu, so he had to repay this favor.

Of course, he didn't dislike Zhao Xiaodie, so he didn't mind using a marriage contract to tie everyone to the same boat.

The string of no law has many sons—each son is not born of flesh and blood, but rather a discordant note he twists from the "dissonance" of the universal laws and endows with personality.

The eldest son is named Nimingxuan, a rebel against fate. He can twist any predetermined destiny trajectory or prophetic line into a completely opposite direction.

His identity in this world is naturally that of Huang Taiji's eldest son, Hauge, and he naturally wants to inherit his father's power.

The conqueror king had a long-standing feud with him and naturally disagreed. The two fought fiercely, and the situation eventually reached a stalemate.

The former subordinates of the String of No Law naturally favored letting his son succeed him, but the King of Conquerors also had great power and almost became the messenger of the God of Annihilation. He and the String of No Law were created together by the True God of Annihilation, so they were actually brothers.

Originally, the Conqueror King was to serve as the divine messenger, but due to an accident, the String of No Law became the divine messenger instead.

Therefore, he also has the legal right to inherit authority.

Both sides have inheritance rights and are evenly matched, so neither is willing to concede to the other.

The situation has been very tense these past few days. When the Conqueror King found Zaun, his eyes were blazing with anger as he asked him if there was any solution.

The string of no law died silently, and he suspected that this kid was responsible, but no matter how much he used his imagination, he couldn't figure out how the other party did it.

It can only be considered a relapse of Wu Lu Zhi Xian's old illness; otherwise, it would be too terrifying if the opponent were really taken down by Zaun alone.

But in his opinion, this kid was definitely a man of both wisdom and courage, and very lucky; he might actually have a solution.

Zuan was prepared for this: "If your two sides go to war, how confident are you?"

The Conqueror King fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he replied, "I should have a 60% chance of winning."

Although he was stronger than his nephew, Wu Lu Zhi Xian still had many loyal subordinates, which constituted a formidable force.

"If you ultimately succeed in winning, will your remaining strength be enough to defeat the Ming Dynasty of the Order faction and Li Zicheng of the Proliferation faction?" Zuan asked again.

The Conqueror King's expression changed. He was well aware that if a fierce battle broke out, even if only one side survived, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. The Annihilation faction would suffer a significant loss of strength, and at that point, neither Order nor Reproduction would be able to cope.

He was well aware that to the true god, it made no difference whether he was the Unruly String or even the Rebellious Whirlwind serving as a divine messenger. However, if he messed up this matter, even if he seized the authority of the divine messenger, the true god would strip him of it.

"But do you expect me to give in to Ni Mingxuan and work so hard all these years just to benefit him?"

The thought of that outcome made him want to vomit blood. Not to mention him, even his men wouldn't want it.

"Of course not. The situation is deadlocked now, and neither side can accept taking any further steps. But there is another way, which is for both of them to take a step back."

How do I get a refund?

"It means neither of you should become the divine messenger. Instead, choose a young, easily controlled son from among the sons of the Unruly String to inherit power. This way, the Unruly String's former subordinates will no longer object because the successor will still be his son."

"Without their support, the most powerful Reverse Destiny Cycle naturally can't cause any trouble."

"And because of your merit in supporting the emperor, the other party will be grateful to you and will need your help to deal with the brothers who are trying to seize power. You can also take this opportunity to act as regent, and when the time is right, you can take back the power."

Upon hearing this, the Conqueror King's eyes lit up: "Your Excellency is indeed a genius! This method is simply the best of both worlds!"

This guy isn't some kind of memory master; he's clearly a schemer.

After some discussion, the two finally chose Wang Xuanjin, the ninth son of Wulu Zhixian. In this world, he was Fulin, the youngest son of Huang Taiji, and was the mother of Dayuer.

The Conqueror King also realized that he wanted Jiang Luofu to be the nominal Empress Dowager, but he didn't mind. In the current situation, this woman was indeed needed to manage the harem.

At the subsequent high-level meeting of Annihilation, the Conqueror deliberately angered the Reverse Cyclone so much that he left the room, and then seized the opportunity of his absence to present the prepared plan.

As expected, many of the higher-ups in the Silent Extinction faction were also worried that a bloody battle would result in a significant loss of strength, and they were already tired of the tug-of-war between the two sides.

It was discovered that this new plan could take into account the interests of almost everyone—except for Ni Mingxuan—so it was quickly approved, since that guy wasn't present.

When Ni Mingxuan found out, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and even wanted to fight on the spot. Unfortunately, his father's former subordinates no longer supported him, and he could not make any waves on his own.

Ultimately, persuaded by some elders, they accepted the outcome, as it was far better than allowing the conqueror to directly obtain power.

The two sides joined forces again and began to plan how to take control of the pass and defeat the Order and Breeding factions.

During this period, the world inside the Great Wall underwent significant changes. Li Zicheng made a comeback, and the Fourth Elder, Mostima, was completely unable to stop him, suffering repeated defeats and ultimately allowing the peasant army to snowball in size.

But the Fourth Elder was either afraid of taking responsibility or wanted to solve the problem himself, since Zu'an had already reduced Li Zicheng to only 18 riders before he arrived.

Therefore, the true situation in the Northwest was not reported at the beginning, and the imperial court focused its main efforts on dealing with the Annihilation Camp in the Northeast.

Because their main forces had been wiped out several times before, they even had to raise taxes again to raise more funds to organize a new army.

In their view, the peasant army had been suppressed and could not cause any major trouble in the short term. They had to deal with the major threat in the Northeast first.

It wasn't until the city where the Fourth Elder was located was breached and he died in battle that the news could no longer be kept secret, and the senior members of the Capital Chamber of Commerce realized that the situation in the Northwest had deteriorated to this extent.

They hurriedly dispatched other people with troops to quell the rebellion. It must be said that there were many capable people participating in this grand ceremony of order, such as Lu Xiang-sheng and Sun Chuanting, who were all famous generals in this world.

He led the government troops to a series of victories, but unfortunately, he was ultimately unable to turn the tide. The power of reproduction spread, and the peasant rebels' ability to snowball was exponentially increasing.

The number of troops they wiped out was less than the number of troops that the enemy had grown naturally.

Ultimately, outnumbered, they were overwhelmed by the sea of ​​offspring and perished in battle.

Their deaths shook the world. Everyone knew the court was finished. From then on, wherever Li Zicheng's army went, they surrendered without resistance. Soon they marched toward Beijing.

On the side of the Silent Extinction, they were blocked outside Shanhaiguan by the Second Elder's troops. They were all extremely anxious. If they waited any longer, the Breeding Faction would achieve final victory.

So he sent Zu'an to the capital to find the woman who could unlock the Second Elder's powers.
