Chapter 136 Who is the most important person in the world?
The riots were eventually quelled, at least on the surface.

After all, in this world where all the great power belongs to oneself, no matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, they are no match for a Titled Douluo.

Someone once calculated that if thousands of people attacked a Titled Douluo regardless of their lives, even that Titled Douluo would be dragged to death.

But unfortunately, this idea is absolutely impossible to achieve.

Because people are not made of wood, they have emotions and they get afraid. When they see a powerful person killing someone, no one will take the initiative to step forward. Most people will just follow the crowd and run away.

The riots have been quelled, but that doesn't mean the matter is over.

You know, where the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire border, there is not only the Mingdou Mountains, but also some areas where there is no military confrontation.

It was precisely because of the existence of these places that Xuanji Douluo successfully sent this information to the interior of the Sun-Moon Empire. With the cooperation of the Sun-Moon Empire's insiders, the speed of dissemination of this information in the Sun-Moon Empire was even faster than in the Star Luo Empire.

This information caused a huge stir in the Sun-Moon Empire.

Countless people were surprised to find that they were living in such a horrible place, and those who lost their loved ones felt a surge of grief and anger in their hearts.

But on the surface, the disturbance caused by this intelligence was not that big, and occasional small disturbances were quickly quelled by the authorities.

Although a spark can be easily extinguished, once someone takes the initiative to gather these sparks together, they will turn into a huge fire.

Zhao Yang, who had disappeared for a long time because of the rebellion, reappeared in the Sun and Moon Empire at some point. After killing a local chief official with his own hands, he announced that the reason he rebelled was because he knew the secrets of the Holy Spirit Church.

Now that he has stood up again, he wants to lead those innocent people whose families have been destroyed by the Holy Spirit Church to take revenge on the Holy Spirit Church.

Zhao Yang declared that he would ask the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire on behalf of all the people of the Sun-Moon Empire why they wanted to cooperate with the Holy Spirit Church. Will you choose the Holy Spirit Church or have the support of millions of people?

As the announcement spread, countless people throughout the Sun-Moon Empire responded, including not only ordinary people but also spirit masters.

The most representative of them is Ghost Nana, a student at the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. This petite female student deeply hates the Holy Spirit Church because of her parents' tragedy.

After learning that Zhao Yang had taken the initiative to start a rebellion, Nana, who had long been unable to bear it any longer, chose to take action immediately. She personally killed a member of the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire to show her determination. She then led everyone to destroy the stronghold of an evil soul master and made the evil soul master's crimes public.

She even revealed that Mingde Church and Holy Spirit Church also had cooperation.

These high-ranking officials of the empire are all birds of a feather.

Then, the ghost Nana who had made such a big name really disappeared from the public's sight like a ghost, and no one knew where she fled to.

There is no way, I have to escape.

After all, this is the Sun and Moon Imperial Capital, where powerful people gather. It is already very capable for Nana, a four-ring soul master, to escape with her own strength.

Of course, the reason why Nana was able to escape was most likely due to the involvement of some other forces.

"Already escaped?" In the quiet and peaceful fireplace room, an old man lying on a recliner asked slowly.

"Yes, sir." The subordinate reported respectfully.

"Then don't worry about her," the old man stood up, and the four beautiful maids serving him behind him cooperated with each other to help him change into decent and formal clothes. During this time, the old man also touched the maid's big white legs and kissed her pink lips from time to time in a very indecent manner.

After changing his clothes, the lecherous old man disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely powerful nobleman from the Sun and Moon Empire.

After leaving the castle, the old man glanced at the carriage parked at the door, looked up at the sky and said, "We won't take a carriage today."

Then, the old man waved his sleeves and soared into the sky.

This very old man is actually a Titled Douluo!
After the old man arrived at the palace of the Sun-Moon Empire, everyone who saw him knelt down and saluted him.

Even Xu Tianran, who was presiding over the meeting, did not dare to look down on the old man. Since he was in a wheelchair, he took the lead in bowing.

"uncle."

"Yeah." The old man accepted Xu Tianran's salute expressionlessly, walked to the first seat on the right without looking at anyone and sat down.

As he walked over, high-ranking officials of the empire who were also participants in the meeting took the initiative to greet the old man.

"Meet Prince Chiyang."

"Meet Prince Chiyang."

"Meet Prince Chiyang."

No matter who presents the gift, the old man will accept it all because he is qualified to do so.

After all, he is the brother of the current emperor, a pillar of the empire who had become a Titled Douluo decades ago, and the father of Xu Tianyuan, the current leader of the Royal Soul Instructor Group and the ninth-level soul instructor.

In the entire Sun-Moon Empire, only Kong Deming is older than him and has the qualifications to stand in front of him.

"Prince Chiyang, it's been a long time since we last met. I remember this should be the first time that Prince Chiyang has attended an imperial meeting after the current emperor ascended the throne." Kong Deming, who was sitting opposite Prince Chiyang, said with a smile.

Prince Chiyang glanced at Kong Deming and said, "That's right. After the current emperor ascended the throne, I couldn't stand his behavior, so I didn't participate in government affairs when he was emperor. What? Do you, Kong Deming, have a problem with me?"

You become so domineering because you have lived long and have a high position. You dare to say anything, but you can't do anything to me.

When Kong Deming heard Prince Chiyang's undisguised malice towards the current emperor, he immediately stopped talking.

Damn, this old guy is a piece of tough meat.

It is well known to everyone that the way the current emperor ascended the throne was not dignified. Even the officials themselves do not believe the official explanation, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with this.

After all, the previous emperor did nothing wrong and was quite kind. If he had not been unwilling to invest resources in the military to prepare for war, going against the wishes of his superiors and subordinates, he would not have been overthrown so easily.

Of course, there were many people who were dissatisfied with the previous emperor, and there were also many who were very loyal to the previous emperor. Prince Chiyang was one of them.

Xu Tianran saw that all the people who were coming had arrived.

Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, Prince Chiyang and other ministers have all arrived, so Xu Tianran began today's agenda.

"Everyone, there are rumors spreading throughout the empire. What methods do you have to quell the rumors?"

"Rumors? How can this be a rumor? The question now is not how to quell the rumors, but whether the royal family should choose the imperial subjects or the Holy Spirit Church?" Prince Chiyang said bluntly.

Hearing this, Xu Tianran felt so angry that his teeth itched.

Everyone present could see that Xu Tianran's statement that this was a rumor was a statement of his attitude and he was telling everyone that the royal family's choice was the Holy Spirit Church.

But this sentence cannot be said openly, so Xu Tianran said this.

But now Xu Tianran's words were overturned by Prince Chiyang, forcing Xu Tianran and everyone else to respond positively. To be honest, all those who hold important positions in the current court are ambitious and enterprising. They naturally want to choose the Holy Spirit Church to strengthen the power of the Sun Moon Empire. As for the rebellion of the people, they are not worried. At worst, they can just kill them all.

But you can't say that openly, especially at a meeting like today.

If we were in a dark room, a small group of three or five people would naturally tell the truth, but not today.

Because today's meeting is an open court meeting, a meeting in which the crown prince, clan members, ministers, the strongest combat forces, and top nobles all participate.

Faced with the issue of Prince Chiyang, everyone seems to have two choices, but in fact, if they do not want to be isolated from the world, then there is only one choice.

"Uncle, those are just rumors. You stay at home all year round and don't care about what's happening outside. It's normal for you to mistakenly think they are true." Xu Tianran still wanted to struggle.

But Prince Chiyang, who obviously had already grown tired of him, did not tolerate him at all: "Those are true, Your Highness, do you want me to bring all the evidence to you?"

After saying this, Xu Tianran stopped talking.

"What about you guys? If you think this is a rumor, please stand up. I will give you the evidence to take a good look at!"

Prince Chiyang glanced at everyone, and no one dared to look him in the eye.

"So now that you all know that it's not a rumor, why are you still standing here?! You are all ministers of the empire, don't you know how to choose?!"

Prince Chiyang was so imposing that everyone in the audience was shocked and no one dared to speak.

"Prince Chiyang, I think the two can coexist, and not all people in the Holy Spirit Church are bad." Jing Hongchen said with a smile.

"Not all of them are bad guys? Then do you know about your student Nana?!" Prince Chiyang looked at Jing Hongchen with his eyes wide open: "Jing Hongchen, you pretend to be a good teacher on the surface, but secretly you are hanging out with the evil soul master who killed his own students. Do you have any shame!"

"And the Sword of Judgment, which tempted soul masters to become evil soul masters, Jing Hongchen! The empire fully supports you just to let you study these soul guides?!"

"You actually have the nerve to say that the Holy Spirit Church is not all bad people. Well, since you think they are not all bad people, how about letting your grandchildren marry the evil soul masters when they come back?"

Jing Hongchen's face turned completely dark. He said that the evil soul masters were not all bad people, but the premise was that the evil soul masters had never harmed his family.

As the saying goes, a good person is someone who is good to me, and a bad person is someone who is bad to me.

It’s simply the fifth part of Douluo Dalu—Tang San’s rebirth.

Prince Chiyang's rant made it impossible for Jing Hongchen to continue. Otherwise, this old man might want Jing Hongchen and Ye Xishui to have a twilight romance.

Jing Hongchen was defeated, Kong Deming said nothing, Xu Tianran was unable to speak clearly, and the rhythm of the entire meeting was actually led by Prince Chiyang.

"Now, everyone, make your decision."

No one speaks.

Seeing this, Prince Chiyang sneered, stood up and said: "I support the empire's choice of the empire's citizens. Who agrees and who opposes?"

Again no one spoke.

Clap, clap, clap. Prince Chiyang clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Very good. Since no one objects, that means everyone agrees."

Then Prince Chiyang looked at Xu Tianran with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, everyone agrees. In this case, Your Majesty should consider how to eliminate the Holy Spirit Church and quell the rebellion in the country. Although I am old, for the sake of the country, I am willing to lead the troops to eliminate the Holy Spirit Church."

Clear your uncle!
Xu Tianran, who never liked swearing, couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If we let this old guy go, we will really fall out and fight.

At this point, there is only one way.

Since this must be done, the only option is to put on a show for everyone in the empire to see.

Find Ye Xishui in advance and tell him about this matter. Both sides can cooperate and eliminate a few minions, which will be an explanation to the people.

In this way, both sides can be appeased without losing their own strength.

"By the way, Your Highness the Crown Prince will not deliberately put on a show for us to see, right? Don't agree to it here, and then turn around and join forces with the people from the Holy Spirit Church to do something." Prince Chiyang looked at Xu Tianran suspiciously.

Xu Tianran replied righteously: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Would a man like me do such a thing?"

Prince Chiyang sneered twice, but did not say that directly.

What you mean is that you can't do what your father was able to do back then?

"Okay, in that case, then I will go and pay my respects to Your Majesty." After the meeting, Prince Chiyang stood up and said.

"No." Xu Tianran signaled his men with cold eyes to stop Prince Chiyang.

Prince Chiyang looked at Xu Tianran suspiciously: "What is the prince doing? He is preventing the ministers from meeting His Majesty. Has His Majesty imprisoned His Majesty in the palace?!"

"This is the order of the Emperor. The Emperor said that he is not injured and needs to rest more. All recent government affairs will be handled by me."

"The imperial physician also suggested that it would be best for Father not to meet with outsiders."

"Oh, really?" Prince Chiyang's eyes were filled with suspicion, but he did not continue to insist. "If that's the case, then I will take my leave."

Then he bowed, turned around and strode away.

After everyone left, Xu Tianran calmly crushed the cup in his hand and said, "Old bastard!"

"Prince Chiyang, please wait a moment. Wait a moment." When Prince Chiyang was about to fly into the sky, someone called Prince Chiyang from behind.

Prince Chiyang looked back and saw that the person coming was Kong Deming.

"Kong Deming, are you okay?"

Kong Deming said gently: "Prince Chiyang, although the Sun Moon Empire is still powerful, it also faces many problems. This is a critical period. Prince Chiyang, please put state affairs first."

"That's right." Prince Chiyang replied perfunctorily, then turned and left.

Seeing Prince Chiyang's back, Kong Deming couldn't help but sigh.

This Prince Chiyang had originally stayed away from government affairs and was already very old. He might die one day. Why did he suddenly jump out?
When Prince Chiyang returned home, he changed into comfortable casual clothes, lazily lay on the recliner next to the fireplace, and casually threw a note hidden in his sleeve into the fireplace, letting the note be swallowed by the fire.

In the firelight, one could faintly see five large characters written on the note: 'Uncle, I'm still alive'.
