"No, this person looks younger than that foreign envoy." As an idea hit Gong Liang, surprise sneaked into his eyes.
Tian Juechen laughed, "Prime Minister Gong Liang, ten years passed, you are still in your position, but I wonder do you still remember me?"
Terrified, Gong Liang, Feng Qianlong and other important military officers took several steps backwards and then gazed at each other with shock. Gong Liang tentatively asked, "Is it... the... real emperor? "
"If things went well as I planned, I had indeed ascended the throne, but ten years ago I was murdered by that traitor Murong Fengjian and the foreign envoy." As Tian Juechen looked back with resentment, scenes of the past leaped before his eyes.
"He's the real one. He is our father!" The eleven princes exclaimed, and then, coupled with the other imperial concubines, crowded round Tian Juechen.
"What happened to you, Your Majesty?"
"Come on, eunuchs. Take His Majesty to have a rest."
They were gabbling excitedly, but a fact was forgotten that Tian Juechen now was just a spirit.
Tian Juechen refused by waving his hands with dignity, "No, I know that now the Kingdom of Dubhe is in abyss of chaos. The imperial throne is a matter of vital importance. I'm just a spirit, and will soon be gone. Before that, I'm gonna decide the successor to the imperial throne today."
Suddenly everyone could feel the atmosphere grow tense.
Gong Liang and other officials all nodded their heads with agreement. If this "emperor" decided the successor to the imperial throne, at least there would not be fighting or even bloodshed between the princes.
All of princes chewed their lower lips nervously while waiting for the announcement of Tian Juechen.
To their surprise, the emperor turned around to ask Xiao Naihe for advice with respect in his eyes, "What do you say, immortal?"
All princes goggled at Xiao Naihe, thunderstruck. Their father actually asked an outsider for advice on the successor to the imperial throne, which was quite unexpected! But they cannot be rude to Xiao Naihe.
Not long ago, those three foreign immortals said that the young man alone killed the false emperor who was a strong full immortal.
That was to say that this young man in front them was an immortal master as well, thus it was very unwise to offend him.
Tian Juechen did not know how Xiao Naihe killed the foreign envoy, a disciple of the Ghost Valley, but he did witnessed the process that Xiao Naihe finished the innate devil with the Void Mirror in the secret room, and he was totally in awe of Xiao's theurgy of the gold core, an immortal-level magic.
Xiao Naihe foresaw that Tian Juechen would ask him for advice, which was exactly what he was hoping for, because he wanted to use the power of the emperor of Kingdom of Dubhe to settle the remaining scores of the former Xiao Naihe.
"I have settled most of Xiao family's hatred, but after all, there are still some odds and ends. Although I have killed the three masters of the Wang family, the Song family, and the Ye family, there must exist other participants in the Xiao family's tragedy, and these people must be dealt with. Solving this problem with my own strength will be rather troublesome, so it's better to redress the grievance for Xiao family with the help of royal family. " Xiao Naihe mused.
In the former Xiao Naihe's subconscious, he not only thirsted for avenging his family members, but also was eager to redress the grievance for his family. Only by solving these problems for real can Xiao Naihe discharge the distracting thoughts and advance in great cultivation.
With this idea, his eyes suddenly went to Tian Xuezhi.
A sense of foreboding emerged in other princes' hearts when they saw Xiao Naihe's look.
The next moment, their foreboding feeling was confirmed for Xiao Naiihe pointed at Tian Xuezhi and said with a smile, "In my opinion, this prince looks very suitable!"
Tian Xuezhi was well aware of the fact that in the imperial palace his force should be the weakest one among all the princes. Compared with other princes, he didn't have a grand background, and his mother passed away when he was very young. It was his forbearance and wit that enabled him to survive numerous intrigues.
