Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 346 Qin Wu Returns to the Capital (Incognito Visit)

"Divine Martial King, we will grant all your requests."

"However, I also have a request, which I hope the Divine Martial King can grant."

After thinking it over, Zhou Qiyu agreed to Qin Wu's suggestion, but he also had to make his own request.

After all, their future is at stake, so we must be careful.

"You said."

Qin Wu knew very well that they wouldn't agree to it so easily.

“I have heard that our Eastern Qin harem will have one empress, two imperial concubines, two concubines and four consorts. I don’t ask for too much, but my Zhou clan must always have one of the four consorts.”

Zhou Qiyu stated his request.

In his view, only a marriage alliance could guarantee that they would always be one with the royal family of Eastern Qin.

As for why she was only one of the four concubines...

He knew that the emperor rarely bestowed the titles of Imperial Noble Consort and Noble Consort.

The emperors of the Eastern Qin Dynasty generally had only one empress and four concubines.

As long as it can be guaranteed that one of the four consorts will always belong to their Zhou clan, that will be fine.

As for whether she can become empress, this is something that cannot be forced, and no emperor would agree to it.

Qin Lang and the other two couldn't help but brighten up when they heard the conditions proposed by Zhou Qiyu.

If possible, this is absolutely the best way to ensure that the royal family and they always share the same interests.

Qin Wu fell silent upon hearing this request.

The emperor's harem was actually closely related to the previous dynasty, but the fact that it was always fixed to four clans was unprecedented.

However, for emperors, marriage alliances were indeed a means and a way to control the dynasty.

After considering the pros and cons.

"Alright, the four consorts will forever belong to the four clans. However, I also have a condition: the four clans must never participate in the struggle for imperial power. If they want to seize the throne, they should see how they do it. Once anyone interferes, you know what I can do."

Qin Wu agreed.

This is not a bad thing for them.

However, the idea of ​​the four ancient clans seizing power through a struggle for the throne must be dispelled to prevent turmoil in the dynasty when imperial power changes in the future.

"I'm OK."

Qin Lang agreed without hesitation.

They were originally of the same bloodline and lineage as the royal family, so it didn't matter to them who became emperor.

All they need to do is ensure that the throne always belongs to their Qin clan.

Seeing that Qin Lang had agreed, the other three had no choice but to agree as well.

They knew very well that if Qin Wu did not die, anyone who dared to interfere with the succession of imperial power would be courting death.

With Qin Wu's talent, as long as he successfully breaks through to the Immortal Emperor realm, and unless he dies unexpectedly, he will live almost as long as heaven and earth.

With Qin Wu in charge, the Eastern Qin is not a place where just anyone can act recklessly, nor is anyone qualified to do so.

Perhaps with Qin Wu's talent, he could one day become the most outstanding being.

No one knows how powerful the Eastern Qin Dynasty was at that time.

Therefore, this condition is not unacceptable to them.

As for the above requirements, they have already fulfilled them, and whether they are satisfied or not is none of their business.

If the higher-ups are dissatisfied, then let them negotiate with the Qin clan's leadership.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, then it's settled. Just bring the people you want to send to the palace before the dynasty is promoted. Choose your people carefully and teach them the rules. My Eastern Qin harem doesn't like people who scheme and plot."

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Qin Wu only gave one more reminder and then said nothing more.

To avoid any problems that might arise later.

"Okay, how about this: we'll let you know in advance when we've chosen the people, and you can send a palace matron to teach them manners. What do you think?"

Zhou Qiyu said.

He also knew that the women in Qin Wu's harem were getting along very well.

There was no backstabbing or scheming, which meant that Qin Wu hated it when his women plotted against each other.

"Alright, then it's settled then."

"Afterwards, I will send palace governesses to reside permanently in your four clans to specifically instruct the women you choose from, teaching them from a young age. When the time is right, I will bestow marriages upon them and my princes."

Qin Wu was quite satisfied with their answer.

This way, he can avoid a lot of trouble.

"Okay, then it's settled."

The four agreed.

"Then so be it. I will send troops to the Immortal Sect. You should make the arrangements as well! Strive to take over the Immortal Sect as soon as possible and complete the unification."

"In a few days, I will return to the Central Continent to make preparations."

Qin Wu nodded.

Now that we've reached an agreement, let's get started.

“Alright, we will send our clansmen to assist Dong Qin in taking down the Immortal Sect.”

"We'll take our leave now."

Everyone received a satisfactory answer and then took their leave.

After reaching an agreement with the four clans, Qin Wu began preparations to return to the capital.

A month later.

Qin Wu set off to return to the capital.

After being away for over a century, Qin Wu is finally going back.

This news was also sent back ahead of time.

Xianyang City has also made preparations to welcome them.

Now everyone understands that their Divine Martial King is the next emperor.

An undisputed emperor.

With Qin Wu's return this time, it seems he will soon ascend the throne and become emperor.

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.

This time, Qin Wu did not intend to return via the teleportation array, but instead took his personal guards back by flying boat.

Let's take a look at the current situation in various parts of Eastern Qin.

This also serves as a way to understand the national conditions of Eastern Qin, so that we can make new plans later.

Many national policies will need to be changed, as many of the current policies are no longer suitable.

Along the way, Qin Wu would make an incognito visit each place he went to.

Let's take a look at the local situation.

As it turned out, Qin Wu did discover quite a few problems.

After more than a hundred years of development, all regions are now developing rapidly.

This century of peace has also bred many parasites who have begun to exploit and oppress the people.

In some places, it has almost become a one-man show by the local powerful forces, a state within a state.

Some forces have even begun to secretly raise private armies.

These are things that Dong Qin does not allow, but these people still did it.

Qin Wu even discovered that some local officials were incredibly wealthy. One small town lord, who had only been a merchant for ten years, had embezzled hundreds of millions of taels of silver, demonstrating just how audacious these people were.

What angered Qin Wu the most was that in some places, the Black Dragon Guard, which was supposed to supervise local officials, had also been corrupted.

They even helped cover up their crimes.

However, Qin Wu did not take any action to eliminate them.

Instead, he sent out secret guards to investigate thoroughly, and he led his men to continue towards Xianyang City, not openly entering many cities.

Thus, it took Qin Wu a full six months to reach Xianyang City.

Upon arrival, Qin Wu went straight back to the palace, leaving the officials who had come out of the city to greet him looking at each other in bewilderment.

I wonder if I offended this god of war prince somehow.

All parties immediately sent people to investigate what had happened.

Let's see if anyone has been foolish enough to offend this god of death, lest they bring about their own demise.
