Chapter 64: Awarded the title of King of One Word!

In the Tiandou Palace, after the envoy of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan left, Xue Ye stayed alone in the hall, with Ying Yi guarding him in secret.

Xue Ye held the invitation from the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan in his left hand and the "Investigation Report on the Battle between Multiple Titled Powerful Men near Notting City" in his right hand. That was the intelligence he obtained after he received an urgent report from the Lord of Notting City and sent his shadow guards to investigate.

The intelligence began with four big characters written on it: Tang Hao, Tang San.

Tang Hao did not change his appearance or name in Holy Soul Village and Notting City, and he showed up all year round. The intelligence organization of the Tiandou royal family is still very strong, so it is normal that they can find out.

Xue Ye thought secretly: "Based on the traces near the battle site, it is clear that a great battle took place between the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and Tang Hao. After the battle, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan immediately showed its strength to the outside world, which clearly shows that the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan won."

"But what exactly is the grudge between the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and Tang Hao? According to the Shadow Guard's investigation, Tang Hao doesn't seem to be completely dead yet. So the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan invited all the forces on the continent. Could it be that they want to kill Tang Hao again at the celebration?"

"If this is really the case, I must be there in person. This may be my last chance to activate the clan treasure. I didn't seize the opportunity when Tang Hao fought Qian Xunji and others, but I can't miss it now."

"It's just right. This will allow the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to form a check and balance with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, giving me more time to develop."

Afterwards, Xue Ye convened an emergency court meeting to discuss matters with all the ministers.

Xue Ye sat upright on the dragon throne, overlooking the ministers below the stage.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing stood at the first seats on the left and right of the stage respectively. Marshal Ge Long and three members of the Tiandou Royal Academy's teaching committee stood behind the crown prince and Xue Xing.

"What do you think about this?"

There was silence in the audience.

Strength is respected in Douluo Continent. Today, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan is obviously stronger than the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Many ministers plan to go to the Pure Yang Holy Leopard City to make friends with it. Some of those with weaker forces even want to be the spokespersons of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan in the Tiandou court.

But making friends is one thing, as these nobles are deeply bound to the Tiandou royal family. They make friends with the Chunyang Holy Leopard Clan only to gain some benefits, not to change their flags.

Compared with the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan, the Xue Family being the emperor is more in line with their core interests. Now that Xue Ye has not expressed his opinion, they naturally dare not say anything more.

"Why are you silent? General Feng, aren't you usually quite talkative? Tell us what you think."

Feng Jianzhong was forced to step out and said: "All the gentlemen in the hall are experienced and knowledgeable. I am stupid, young and unskilled. I dare not speak nonsense."

"You are so flattering and fawning. When I asked you for your opinion, why didn't you just speak frankly?"

Seeing that his people were in trouble, Tiandou Royal Academy's chief Meng Shenji hurried out to help: "Your Majesty, please calm down. General Feng seems to be unwell and spoke out of turn. He did not mean to offend Your Majesty. As for the matter of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, in my opinion, this is a completely good thing!"

Looking at Xue Ye's expression, Meng Shenji continued, "The Empire and them are now in a honeymoon period. It is precisely because of our mutual support that the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and the Tiandou Empire have achieved tremendous development. This is all thanks to your correct leadership, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise and brave, and I admire you very much."

Xue Xing also jumped out at this time: "Your Majesty, the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan has been of great help to the empire in recent years. We have a broader prospect for cooperation. The Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan's experience in achieving great success is worth learning. I suggest that the Fourth Prince Xue Beng go to the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to study and worship the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Duke Zhuang Jingxing as his teacher to enhance the friendship between our two families."

Xue Xing has always been worried about Xue Beng because Xue Qinghe became Ning Fengzhi's disciple. Now that the Chunyang Holy Leopard Clan is rising rapidly, if Xue Beng can make friends with them, he can narrow the gap with Xue Qinghe, or even surpass him.

Xue Qinghe also quickly requested to represent the empire to celebrate for the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan and learn related experience at the same time.

"Alright! Our Tiandou Empire and the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan have always had a close relationship. Now that they have given birth to three Titled Douluo, it is a great joyous event for our Tiandou Empire."

"Come here, draft an imperial decree: invite the chieftain of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, Zhuang Jingxing, to serve as the King of Qi, and to be crowned king, with full authority to handle all affairs in Beiyuan and its surrounding areas; invite the two supreme elders and the chief core elder of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan to serve as the imperial guest officials; invite the junior chieftain of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, Zhuang Xingyu, to inherit the title of Duke of Pure Yang Holy Leopard; and present 100,000 taels of gold and 10,000 pieces of palace brocade as imperial gifts." "At the same time, at the celebration three months later, I will personally lead the Crown Prince, Prince Xuexing, and the Fourth Prince to the scene."

Xue Xing was annoyed, he still had something to say! He was against Xue Qinghe going together, but seeing that Xue Ye had made up his mind, he knew that it was useless to say more.

Now Xue Xing just wants to go back quickly, think of a way, and teach Xue Beng well, hoping that he can successfully become Zhuang Jingxing's disciple.

Although the ministers below the stage were surprised and envious, they did not dare to say anything, because whether based on history or strength, Beiyuan is now the direct ruling area of ​​the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, and it will not have much impact on them whether you confer the title or not.

Besides, it’s not certain whether the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan would look down on it!

When Xue Ye granted Zhuang Xingyu the title of Marquis, it was a direct "grant", but now it is an "invitation". This is the change brought about by strength!

After the meeting, Xue Ye was the only one left in the hall, still sitting upright on the dragon throne.

Except for sleeping and walking, Xue Ye almost always sits on the dragon throne.

In this way, he could imagine himself to be like his royal ancestors: not only having the strength of a Titled Douluo, but also having absolute control over the Heaven Dou Empire.

Only here can the snowy night make up for the powerlessness in reality and give one the pleasure of controlling the world, even if that pleasure is false.

"Come on, come on!"

"The clan treasure will be activated soon! When that happens, I will have the strength to turn the tables."

"Ahaha! Haha..." Xue Ye laughed a little crazily.

……

Xue Ye’s invitation information was quickly transmitted back to the Chunyang Holy Leopard Clan.

"What do you think about this matter?" Murong Yunxue asked.

“Although with our family’s current strength, the imperial title will not help us at all, and may even cause the enemies of the Tiandou Empire to target us. But I think we can accept the title of King Qi, and Xingyu can also inherit the title of Lord Chunyang Holy Leopard. As for you, mother, the second supreme elder, and the chief core elder, you don’t have to accept the invitation of the imperial guest official.” Zhuang Jingxing thought.

"That's right. I have no interest in serving as a guest official of the Tiandou Empire." The chief core elder also said.

Murong Yunxue analyzed: "It makes sense. Our family accepted the title of Duke of the Empire, and the Tiandou Royal Family also gained a lot of benefits because of it. And Xue Ye actually dared to plot against Xingyu four years ago."

"But the Tiandou Empire did give us a lot of support when our family was gradually declining. We cannot deny this. We owe a favor to the Tiandou royal family."

"Therefore, Jingxing and Xingyu, if you two accept the title, you can expand the influence and ruling power of the Tiandou Empire royal family; suppress the other kingdoms and make them continue to be loyal to the Tiandou royal family; help Xue Ye to form a check and balance within the court, which can be regarded as repaying him for this favor. As long as Xue Ye does not cause trouble again, we are willing to live in peace with him and support his Xue family to continue to rule the Tiandou Empire."

"I, the second supreme elder, and the chief core elder will not accept the invitation of the imperial guest. Our clan cannot be too closely tied to the Tiandou royal family. At the same time, we also want to let other forces understand our family's true position."

(Position: Independent. Does not oppose Xue family's rule over Tiandou. Will give some support to Tiandou royal family to repay favors, but not too much)
Sure enough, after the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan’s position was announced, the four affiliated kingdoms of Tiandou, which had stopped paying tribute for many years, also went to Tiandou City to pay tribute.
