Chapter 108 The Heavenly Battle Changes Hands Again.
"When do we make our move?" one of the family heads asked.
Avalanche immediately said, "There's no time like the present. We're pressed for time, so let's set the date for our operation this morning."
"I will use the pretext of dealing with the army of the Martial Soul Empire to bring the heads of each family into the imperial court. At that time, as long as we can take the opportunity to suppress the Wanyan army, we will be able to accomplish our great task."
"In addition, please have each family head go back and make arrangements outside the palace to effectively delay the Imperial Guards' support for the palace."
"We still have some time, everyone, please go and return quickly."
"I will be waiting for you all at the palace gates."
"Alright, Prince Xue, we'll take our leave now." The fourteen family heads left the avalanche-stricken Prince's Mansion one after another.
Upon returning to their respective families, they began making arrangements and gathering their forces.
The unified order was that, after they and Prince Xue had entered the palace for a short while, they would approach the palace and loudly beg Xue Qinghe to surrender.
After arranging everything, the fourteen family heads then went to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace to meet Xue Beng, as agreed beforehand.
……
Outside the Imperial Palace in Tiandou City.
The avalanche had been waiting for a long time.
"Fellow family heads, let's go."
The fourteen family heads followed the avalanche, but they were stopped by the guards at the palace gate as soon as they arrived.
"Prince Xue, they are not high-ranking officials; wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to go in with us?"
"Hmph, I've already discussed the grand plan to resist the Spirit Empire with the fourteen clan heads, and we've reached a conclusion. Yet you still try to stop us. The Spirit Empire is about to attack. If our plans are delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Please come in with me, esteemed patriarchs. I will take responsibility for anything that happens. Saving the country from disaster is of utmost importance." Xue Beng pushed aside the soldiers who were blocking their way and entered the palace.
The fourteen family heads seized the opportunity and quickly followed.
The two guards looked at each other, not daring to stop them any longer, but it was necessary to report it.
One of the soldiers gave some instructions to another, then ran straight to Xue Qinghe's palace, intending to report the matter to Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe was still cultivating at this moment.
Upon hearing the report from the gatekeeper, he immediately went to the imperial court.
……
At the same time, members of the fourteen families and their subordinates, seeing that their patriarchs had been inside the palace for some time, simultaneously approached the palace, shouting, "Your Majesty, we don't want to die! Surrender!"
Chaos erupted outside the palace.
Xue Qinghe had already given an order that the word "surrender" was forbidden in Tiandou City; anyone who did so would be beheaded.
Seeing so many people shouting their surrender, the guards felt that a storm was brewing in Tiandou City.
But with the emperor's orders in hand, one of the soldiers quickly reported the scene to the general.
The general led his men to suppress the rebellion, but the effect was not good. The fourteen major families, along with those who were unaware of the truth, began to resist.
Heavenly Dou City has descended into complete chaos.
……
Inside the palace.
"I've heard that you have a brilliant plan to counter the Spirit Empire's army. Tell me quickly, brother, how should we deal with the Spirit Empire's army in the current situation?"
Xue Qinghe's voice was filled with anger; how could he not know the noise outside?
He never imagined that he and his brothers would one day turn against each other.
Why be afraid of death? Why compromise with the murderer of your father? Even if you surrender, they will not survive. Why can't your own brother understand such a simple truth?
The arrow is on the string, and it must be released.
Xue Beng bluntly stated, "Brother, the only way to preserve the Heaven Dou Empire is to surrender to the Spirit Empire and submit to it."
"As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. The Martial Soul Empire cannot prosper forever. As long as we are willing to wait, we will surely see the day when the Martial Soul Empire declines."
"Even if we can't wait, we can make our son wait. If our son can't wait, we can make our grandson wait. Generation after generation, endlessly, we will eventually be able to witness the decline of the Martial Soul Empire."
"At that time, it will be time for our Heavenly Dou Empire to rise again."
"Brother, don't be so stubborn and insist on going your own way. Surrender! Listen to the voices of the people outside. Can you bear to send them to their deaths?"
"Ridiculous, ridiculous! Do you think that by surrendering to the Spirit Empire, they will let us and the people outside go?"
"Every time the army of the Martial Soul Empire breaches a city, it carries out a massive massacre."
"We're going to die anyway, so we might as well fight to the death with the Spirit Empire and let them know that the Heaven Dou Empire is not to be trifled with."
Xue Beng said helplessly, "Brother, you are too biased. I have inquired about the reason why the Spirit Empire massacred the city. All those who were slaughtered were people who were disrespectful to the Spirit Empire."
"As long as we surrender first, show an attitude of surrender, and submit to the Spirit Empire, the Spirit Empire's army will not slaughter us."
"Brother, turn back." Xue Beng finally softened and tried to persuade Xue Qinghe to surrender, enduring the situation.
The fourteen family heads frowned; this was not the outcome they wanted.
Fortunately, Xue Qinghe was firm in his stance, and he shouted at Xue Beng again, even threatening to kill him.
Xue Beng took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I can't watch you lead the Heavenly Dou Empire into an abyss of no return."
"You have gone mad. You are not worthy to be the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Fellow clan leaders, let's begin."
As soon as the word "Avalanche" was uttered, all fourteen family heads breathed a sigh of relief.
They split into two groups, one heading towards Wanyan's army and the other towards Xueqing River.
Xue Beng looked at the civil and military officials and said, "I hope you can support me. I want to bring you a chance to live."
"Now is the time for you to make your stance clear."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Duke Kang was the first to step forward and say, "I am willing to follow His Majesty Avalanche to the death."
"We are also willing to follow His Majesty Avalanche to the death," said the ministers who had a good personal relationship with Duke Kang, who also stood behind Avalanche.
In an instant, the court officials were in turmoil. More than half of them supported Xue Beng, as none of them wanted to become Xue Qinghe's victims.
This scene nearly drove Xue Qinghe half to death with rage. While stubbornly resisting, he cursed, "A bunch of cowardly cowards!"
"Do you think you'll survive if you surrender to the Spirit Empire?"
"They all have to die, they all have to die."
……
The royal family's power struggle has finally come to an end.
Xue Qinghe, Wanyan Jun, and a series of other ministers who refused to surrender to the Martial Soul Empire ultimately became corpses.
Xue Beng successfully became the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Beng stepped onto the throne and said, "Raise the white flag high, open the city gates wide, and welcome the arrival of the Martial Soul Empire to show our sincerity in surrendering to Heavenly Dou."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The courtiers rejoiced, as if they could already see themselves surviving.
