Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 308 The Emperor of Eastern Qin Emerges from the Pass, Qin Wu's Arrangements

time flies.

Five years later, the Emperor of Eastern Qin finally broke through and emerged from seclusion.

Upon hearing the news, Qin Wu was speechless. It was just breaking through to the Land Immortal Realm.

Is it really that difficult? It took a full five years.

He remembered that his breakthrough was very simple, not like this at all.

But he forgot that not everyone has his talent.

It's unknown how many people are stuck at the Grandmaster level and never break through until their death.

This level eliminates 99% of the people.

It's quite remarkable that the Emperor of Dongqin was able to break through in just five years.

If others knew that the Eastern Qin Emperor had broken through to the Land Immortal Realm, they would only feel envy, jealousy, and hatred.

If they found out that Qin Wu thought the Eastern Qin Emperor's breakthrough took too long, they would probably want to kill Qin Wu.

After Emperor Dong Qin left the pass, he learned about the current situation of Dong Qin and then sought out Qin Wu.

"You're quite something, kid! In just five years, you've increased the strength of the Eastern Qin several times over. How about I just pass the throne to you and let you follow in your grandfather's footsteps and become an emperor emeritus?"

The Emperor of Eastern Qin smiled and said to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu was speechless again upon hearing his words.

If the throne is passed to him now, he won't have time to take over Eastern Qin.

He still has other things to take care of.

It's not too late to take over Dongqin after those matters are dealt with.

Especially considering what will happen five years from now, people from the Upper Realm will be coming down in five years, and he needs to deal with all of them first.

Moreover, he is currently preparing to undergo his eighth tribulation.

Over the past five years, he has survived several more tribulations, each one more intense than the last.

He needs to prepare well for this eighth tribulation to avoid any unexpected events.

Over the next five years, he must complete the nine tribulations of the Immortal Tribulation Realm and break through to the True Immortal Realm.

Also, he needs to personally handle matters on other continents, so you have time to stay here.

"We'll talk about the succession later. Now that you've come out of seclusion, I'll leave Eastern Qin to you. I have some things to take care of in a while, so I'll be away for a bit."

Qin Wu shook his head.

It's impossible for him to take over Dong Qin now.

"Alright, let's talk about it when you're done with your work! Anyway, the throne will be yours sooner or later."

The Eastern Qin Emperor didn't say much. Anyway, now that he had broken through and his lifespan had greatly increased, it wouldn't matter if he helped Qin Wu manage things for a few more years.

Anyway, he just broke through, and it's impossible for him to break through again in a short time.

"By the way, I've imprisoned my imperial brothers for several years now. What do you think we should do with them?"

"I have to admire your ability as emperor. More than two million troops were about to arrive in the capital, and you didn't even know. If I hadn't come back, I'd probably be collecting your corpse."

Qin Wu suddenly remembered that King Zhou and the others were still imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.

He hadn't dealt with them yet, originally thinking that the Eastern Qin Emperor would soon break through and emerge from seclusion, at which point he could deal with them.

Unexpectedly, the Eastern Qin Emperor went into seclusion for more than five years, and he later became too busy to remember King Zhou and the others.

Only now, upon seeing the Emperor of Eastern Qin, did I remember them.

If King Zhou and the other two knew that they had not been convicted because King Wu of Qin had completely forgotten about them...

They probably wish they were dead.

Because Qin Wu forgot about them, they were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for more than five years.

If they hadn't remained unconvinced and weren't princes of the current dynasty, their treatment in the imperial prison over the past few years would have been quite good. Although their food, clothing, and daily necessities had plummeted, their lives were still much better than those of ordinary people.

Otherwise, they would have been killed in the imperial prison long ago.

As for the people in their household, they were originally arrested, but later, due to difficulties in making arrangements, they were all sent back to their original residences and imprisoned on the spot. Their living conditions were still good, but they could not leave the palace.

They've been doing pretty well.

The Emperor of Eastern Qin was helpless when he heard Qin Wu's teasing.

His sons are all incredibly troublesome.

Don't they even consider whether they are truly capable of becoming the next Emperor of Eastern Qin?

Putting everything else aside, their ninth brother, Qin Wu, the Divine Martial King of Eastern Qin, is someone they cannot control.

With Qin Wu around, even if they sit on the throne, can they really hold onto it securely?

Qin Wu's intentions are quite clear. He will absolutely not give up this position. They can't even see this clearly, yet they fight each other all day long. I really don't know if their heads grew out just to increase their height.

They even wanted to lead troops to force the emperor to abdicate.

Apart from Qin Wu, they had no chance of successfully forcing the emperor to abdicate.

With their small army, they wouldn't be able to force the emperor to abdicate even if they wanted to.

You must know that he holds all the military power in the capital. Not to mention anything else, they can't even defeat the 500,000 Imperial Guards. The weakest of these 500,000 Imperial Guards are all at the Martial Master level.

Although it cannot compare to Qin Wu's Divine Martial Army, it is definitely the elite of the elite in Eastern Qin.

Furthermore, hundreds of cannons were mounted on the walls of the capital, making the two million-strong army far from sufficient.

He genuinely didn't know what his three sons were thinking.

Finally, there's the issue of their age. Even if they succeed, how long can they remain emperors? Why don't they focus on improving their strength and extending their lifespan?

All they do is think about unrealistic things.

"Yes, I will handle it. I also know about the affairs of the harem, and I will deal with the Empress and the others as well."

"Your task is more important; finish it first."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin nodded.

Since King Zhou and Queen Zhou have harbored inappropriate thoughts, they must bear the consequences themselves.

"Alright, you handle it! Everything has been prepared in the past five years. Next, the Divine Martial Army will head to the neighboring continent to take over its affairs."

"I have also given the notice that the imperial examination will begin soon, and a large number of officials will be selected. Once my message arrives, the younger generation of officials will be sent over."

Qin Wu continued.

The neighboring continent is now under the control of the Qin clan, so Qin Wu plans to take over the neighboring continent first.

So everything has been prepared in advance.

Now that the Emperor of Eastern Qin has emerged from seclusion, he can directly send troops to the neighboring continent.

However, there are many things to deal with when conquering a new continent.

The first issue is the officials. Trustworthy officials must be sent to take charge of the overall situation, otherwise problems are likely to arise.

"It takes us several months to travel to the neighboring continent, and it might be difficult to manage after we take it over!"

The Emperor of Eastern Qin said with some concern.

He knew about Qin Wu's plan, but the two places were too far apart, and he was worried about whether it was really necessary to take them down.

"Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements. That continent will be managed by the Qin clan, so you don't need to worry about it."

"I have also prepared the necessary items for communication, which will facilitate communication between the two continents, and this situation will only be temporary."

"In a few years, the higher-ups will bring us the method for making teleportation arrays. Once the teleportation arrays are established between the two continents, they will be much easier to manage."

Qin Wu was not worried about these issues.

He had already contacted Shangyu, who was aware of his plans and expressed his support.

For a race, unifying a domain and advancing that domain would be of great benefit.

After learning of Qin Wu's plan, the higher-ups expressed their full support for him and sent him the method for crafting the teleportation array and the materials needed for it.

Therefore, Qin Wu was not worried about not being able to control the other continents.

Emperor Dong Qin was relieved after hearing Qin Wu's explanation.

"Alright, since you have made arrangements, then let's proceed according to your arrangements."

The Emperor of Eastern Qin did not ask any further questions.

We'll do as Qin Wu says. Anyway, Eastern Qin will be handed over to Qin Wu sooner or later.
