An overnight change resulted in the death of the late emperor and regent of the Sun and Moon Empire one after another. The other princes of the Xu family were increasingly weakened by the continuous suppression of Xu Tianran's lineage.
In this case, only Kong Deming, the master of the Royal Enshrinement Hall in the palace, could handle the government affairs of the Sun and Moon Empire.
At the same time, arrangements for the successor to the throne must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
It can be said that from the moment the news of Xu Tianran's death came out, the situation in Mingdu began to be turbulent.
All forces hope to support their own people to rise to power.
In addition to the forces on the surface of the Ming Dynasty, many changes have also occurred in the underground forces.
There are now three giants among the underground forces in Mingdu: Xishui League, Pingfan League and Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the official Sun and Moon Empire, a large number of other rare metal resources are controlled by the three giants.
The Xishui Alliance was formed by Ye Xishui, and its members are all members of the Holy Spirit Sect.
The Holy Spirit Church is huge and powerful. The Xishui League is naturally at the top of the three giants. The Ordinary League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce have always united to fight against the Xishui League to avoid being annexed. They can be called the three underground giants in Mingdu.
, their forces are not weak either.
Now that Xu Tianran is dead, the Far North Chamber of Commerce no longer needs to hide its edge and has begun to develop rapidly with the help of the foundation laid by the Xishui Alliance in Mingdu.
Xishui Alliance, one of the three giants in the past, even directly announced that it would merge with the Far North Chamber of Commerce and become a member of the Far North Chamber of Commerce.
As a result, a large amount of rare metal resources in the Sun and Moon Empire began to fall into Yun Cang's hands.
Wang Feng, Jose, Licinius, and Stett continued to develop the Far North Chamber of Commerce and the Beast Hall in the other three empires. Now, they have formed a dense network with the Sun and Moon Empire.
Yun Cang's plan to build the Soul Guide Mecha Knights has finally begun.
Relying on the metal resources of the four empires, the assembly lines of alchemy factories began to be built one after another.
The accessories of the soul guide mecha are cast in different places in the four empires. After the casting is successful, they are unified to the headquarters of the Far North Chamber of Commerce outside Star Luo City for assembly, and then distributed to military bases deployed throughout the four empires.
The Far North Chamber of Commerce has already recruited a large number of soldiers from the private sector. Because of the reputation of the Far North Chamber of Commerce among the people, it has no worries about recruiting soldiers.
The number of the God-killing Soul Guide Knights planned by Yun Cang is about 10,000. With the existence of alchemical potions and dragon souls, it can train an ordinary person who has just awakened his soul power into a third-level soul guide mecha knight.
for how long.
Today, the first batch of God-killing Knights has been recruited, and the four of them, Wang Feng, are being trained as chief instructors.
The strong expansion of the power of the Far North Chamber of Commerce naturally caused uneasiness in the Pingfan League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. However, when they faced the Far North Chamber of Commerce, they had no competitiveness at all and could only be suppressed and beaten.
The second month after Xu Tianran's death, Xu Lan appeared as the sister of "Xu Tianran".
Forging Xu Lan's identity was easy for Yun Cang, who now controlled most of the forces in Mingdu.
Yuncang directly opened several news agencies in Mingdu and gained fame among the people by reporting various gossip news.
For the other forces, this can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow. After all, the current news media on Douluo Continent is still blank, and Yun Cang has easily mastered the channels through which the lower class people receive information.
In addition, Xu Lan's awakened second martial spirit, Zihuang Tianlong, is the same martial spirit as Xu Tianran, and the persona of "Xu Tianran's mysterious sister" was quickly established.
In addition, Xu Lan also joined the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and began to learn the knowledge of soul teachers. At the same time, she joined the Mingde Hall and studied the Alchemy Book with Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
Xu Lan's first martial spirit, Sun, and his second martial spirit, Zihuang Tianlong, plus his talent as a soul mentor, soon entered the eyes of the palace enshrinement hall.
After that night, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen confessed to their grandfathers. Jing Hongchen has now been taken under Yun Cang's command, which means that the entire Mingde Hall is under Yun Cang's control.
Under such circumstances, Xu Lan's status in the Sun and Moon Empire continued to rise.
Finally, six months after Xu Tianran's death, Xu Lan was proposed by the Prime Minister of the Sun and Moon Empire to take over the throne.
Any other princes of the Xu family who had any objections died without explanation.
Some died in the house, some died in the alleys of fireworks and willows, and some died in the mountain suburbs. For a while, Xu Lan was feared by people in the Ming capital, no less than the original regent Xu Lan.
natural.
After the Prime Minister proposed that Xu Lan take over the throne, Kong Deming naturally handed over power.
For him, it would be better for him to be in power than to immerse himself in the soul guidance device.
So Xu Lan successfully ascended the throne as regent.
After becoming the regent, Xu Lan started her first major event.
Nowadays, in the Ming capital, the nobility, military, and Yun Cang have three separate powers. Xu Lan directly announced that within the Sun and Moon Empire, only the Far North Chamber of Commerce has the right to sell rare metals.
After this decree was announced, the entire Ming Dynasty was in an uproar.
You must know that rare metals are prohibited in the Sun and Moon Empire. Except for the military, nobles, and royal families who can make huge profits from rare metals, anyone else who dares to sell rare metals out of the Sun and Moon Empire will be a serious crime that will annihilate the Nine Clans.
The three underground giants in Mingdu dare to sell rare metals precisely because there are people behind them.
An Litong, the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, is a member of the Sun Moon Empire's military. All the funds he earns become military expenses for the military.
The leader of the Ordinary League, Shangguan Wei'er, was originally a strong woman in charge of Mingdu's prostitution, catering, and real estate industries. Behind her stood various nobles of Mingdu.
Now Xu Lan's actions have directly affected the interests of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and the Ordinary League. For a while, the military and nobles have put pressure on Xu Lan.
But Xu Lan didn't care at all, and even used more forceful methods.
Xu Lan was unable to get in. As a result, the Pingfan League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to turn to the Far North Chamber of Commerce, hoping to continue to get a share of the business of selling rare metals.
An Litong, the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, is a middle-aged man in his forties. He wears a purple cloak, has a dignified appearance, and has the power of a superior in his brows.
The leader of the Ordinary League, Shangguan Wei'er, is a woman wearing a bright red dress. Her long chestnut hair is tied high in a bun on her head. She walks with three swaying steps, a slim figure, and an enchanting figure.
The two of them waited in the reception room of the Far North Chamber of Commerce for a long time before Yun Cang, dressed in black and elegant clothes, walked in.
An Litong and Shangguan Weier were surprised when they saw that the owner of the Far North Chamber of Commerce was so young.
Now Yun Cang's cultivation level has reached the soul king level. Although he is only a five-ring soul king, his aura is powerful enough to overwhelm the souls of An Litong and Shangguan Weier.
