Chapter 601 Snow Without a Trace
Xue Qinghe handled what he could himself, and for those he couldn't handle, he let Mige clean them up.
After all, if these nobles who came to pressure Emperor Xueye really had no evidence against him, why would they be so eager for Emperor Xueye to step in and quell Mig and Dagles's sweeping activities?
As for the fiefdoms of those nobles who made mistakes, Xueqinghe was chosen to be nationalized and used to reward meritorious officials in the future!
As for the officials involved, Xue Qinghe arranged for his trusted confidants to take their place to ensure that the empire's operation would not encounter any problems!
The clear-headed nobles saw through Xue Qinghe's actions and understood that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Holy Son Miguel had secretly reached a cooperation agreement.
With one playing the "good cop" and the other the "bad cop," Xue Qinghe not only suppressed dissidents and established a certain prestige in the court, making ample preparations for his future ascension to the throne, but also provided a perfect answer to Mige's campaign to purge scum and degenerates. It can be described as a win-win situation for both Mige and Xue Qinghe!
To prevent Xue Qinghe and Miguel from dealing with them as well, during the period when Miguel was on a killing spree, the nobles did their best to fulfill the orders issued by Xue Qinghe, unlike before when Emperor Xue Ye's edicts were worthless outside of Tian Dou City!
With the cooperation of MiG and Daglas, Xue Qinghe completely and firmly grasped the Tiandou Empire in just three years.
The fact that Xue Qinghe had completely seized power was a clear indication to the outside world of the power shift in the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Four years after the Advanced Soul Master Tournament ended, Emperor Xueye, who had spent nearly four years in bed, also came to the end of his life.
Because Xue Qinghe had seized power ahead of time, his ascension to the throne was very smooth. It didn't take long before he completely completed the transfer of the throne and became the rightful ruler of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Qinghe!
Xue Qinghe originally thought that after he ascended the throne, no one would urge him to have children. But who would have thought that less than half a year after he ascended the throne, the ministers would all advise him to take in more concubines and have more children for the Xue family!
For a moment, Xue Qinghe felt a little numb, but he also understood that if he did not have any children, his throne would be unstable!
In order to ensure the stability of his throne, Xue Qinghe (Migu's tool for Qian Renxue) began a plan to create a human after consulting with Qian Renxue, Migu, and Dugu Yan!
After Xue Qinghe withstood the pressure from the ministers for nearly nine months, news came from the palace that Empress Dugu Yan was pregnant!
Upon learning this news, Xue Qinghe and Dugu Bo were both overjoyed. A few days later, Dugu Bo, citing the need to prevent anyone from harming his great-grandson, brazenly brought Dugu Yan to his secret base!
Nearly nine months later, Dugu Yan finally emerged from Dugu Bo's secret base hidden in Sunset Forest, carrying a chubby little boy! (The chubby little boy was a soul beast created by Miguel.)
When the court officials saw the child in Dugu Yan's arms, they were also very happy, after all, this child represented the orderly succession of the empire!
After the initial joy, the court officials realized that Dugu Yan's pregnancy and childbirth did not take place in the palace, which meant that the child was very likely not Xue Qinghe's offspring!
They had originally planned to communicate with Xue Qinghe in secret, but who would have thought that after Dugu Yan became pregnant with this child, Xue Qinghe began to vigorously reform, wanting to make the empire's national strength reach a new level!
Xue Qinghe was busy, and his subjects were naturally even busier. In the end, under Xue Qinghe's arrangement, they all devoted themselves to the cause of the empire's prosperity!
In the blink of an eye, that chubby boy turned six. On his sixth birthday, Xue Qinghe took a day off to give his son, Xue Wuhen, a grand awakening of his martial soul!
Originally, the ministers thought that the Swan Martial Soul could not surpass the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, and that Xue Wuhen's awakened Martial Soul was likely to be the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. However, Xue Wuhen lived up to expectations and awakened the Holy Light Swan Martial Soul, with innate level eight soul power!
