335 Chapter 334-roasted over the fire

Whether the Lu family could become the Emperor was a very complicated problem. Even Lu Qing himself could not figure it out.

Of course, Lu Qing had also considered the things that Lu chaoxi had considered.

In fact, he might even think deeper into it.

If he chose to be the Emperor, the Lu family would face tremendous pressure. This pressure was both internal and external. Internally, it was the ruling pressure after the change of dynasty, and it could be predicted that Yunxiao sect would be even more high-pressure supervision. As for external pressure, after becoming the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, the Lu family would have to take on all the diplomatic and military work of the entire Yan Kingdom. How to continue to maintain friendly relations with Jin in the West, deal with post-war Affairs with Wei, and deal with Qi in the southeast by sea.

But at the same time, the benefits would be huge. If the Lu family became the Emperor, it would not be a puppet regime after li Chengzong or Li Xuanhao came to power. The Lu family had a nascent soul cultivator. Although he was only at level one, his combat power was very strong and there was still room for further development. The Lu family had a very deep foundation in the northern region of the Yan Kingdom. With the power of the Qingfeng sect, they could directly mobilize five golden core cultivators.

With enough power and the disguise of an Emperor, the Lu family could turn four of the seven states of the Yan Kingdom into their own hard-core territory if they handled it well.

The Lu clan dynasty might be even more powerful than the Li clan dynasty.

On the other hand, if they chose to support a puppet, the Lu family would face much less pressure.

However, at the same time, many risks could not be avoided. Jin Prefecture and half of Ji Prefecture had to be taken care of by him, and he could not make use of the Imperial court’s power. The puppet imperial court was not the puppet of the Lu family. After the puppet imperial court was established and a new order was established, the Lu family would soon lose their influence in the Imperial court.

Furthermore, being the second brother would definitely be suppressed by the first brother. Without the Emperor of Yan, li Shiwen, attracting the firepower at the front, Lu Qing would be the only nascent soul realm cultivator in the country of Yan apart from Yunxiao sect. He would not be able to hide from what was to come.

In fact, Lu Qing felt that after saying so much, it was essentially a matter of course.

High risk, high reward, and a steady and steady approach.

According to Lu Qing’s personality, he was more inclined to a high-risk, high-reward approach. Although Rationally Speaking, it seemed more appropriate to take things slow and steady, the key was that this slow and steady didn’t necessarily mean slow and steady.

In fact, Lu Qing felt that all internal and external pressures could be easily resolved. The most difficult thing to resolve was the pressure from Yunxiao sect, but this was something that could not be avoided no matter which choice he made.

In any case, he had to bear the greatest risk no matter what. Lu Qing would be more inclined to choose to become the Emperor and become part of the Yan Dynasty’s imperial family to obtain more benefits.

Moreover, this matter might not be able to escape.

……

The Li family did not have much of a choice, but the Lu family did, but it was not certain how big it was.

Regarding the matter of the Lu family becoming the Emperor, it was Yunxiao sect’s sect master, han xuzi, who was a peak nascent Soul Stage cultivator, who communicated with Lu Qing face to face through a communication spell.

His tone was quite polite, and his attitude was inclined to seek the Lu family’s opinion.

However, Lu Qing was still sensitive enough to sense that this matter was not ordinary.

To the Yunxiao sect, it was not appropriate for the Lu family to be the royal family. After li Shiwen created this incident, Yunxiao sect should have maintained a weaker royal family. This was in line with their interests.

It was not that the Lu clan did not have any Foundation. The Lu clan had its own base of operations. If they handed the Imperial court over to the Lu clan, was Lu Qing not afraid that li Shiwen would become a second li Shiwen?

Lu Qing had felt that something was amiss. His first reaction was actually to think that Yunxiao sect was not serious and was just testing the Lu family through the throne. If the Lu clan dared to accept the throne, they would do whatever they wanted to the Lu clan.

But to him, there was no need to guess blindly.

After he ended the conversation with Yu Han and Xu Zi, he immediately activated the training mode and teleported to Pingzhou.

Although the war had ended and the Wei Kingdom had already withdrawn their troops, Yunxiao sect’s main force had not left and still maintained the defense line.

The main thing was to guard against Wei country’s sudden return.

The entire front line of Pingzhou should gradually withdraw their troops in the next one or two years.

Currently, the top cultivators of Yunxiao sect were still at the front line in Pingzhou.

This was a good opportunity to gather information.

After Lu Qing arrived, he patiently lurked beside han xuzi and waited for the Yunxiao sect higher-ups to discuss the news of the Lu clan inheriting the throne and changing the dynasty of the Yan country.

After eavesdropping on the discussion among the Yunxiao sect higher-ups, Lu Qing learned that this was not a test, but that the Yunxiao sect truly wanted the Lu clan to take over.

“Did Lu Qing agree to it?” Grandmaster Weiyun asked.

Han xuzi replied, [ not yet. He said that he needs some time to consider. ]

Grandmaster Weiyun: ” he might be worried. The next time we talk about it, we can express our attitude more clearly and dispel some of his concerns.

“What if he’s still not willing?”

“Then let him be willing.”

These words were quite overbearing.

However, Lu Qing was certain that the Yunxiao sect really wanted the Lu family to take over the position. Furthermore, it seemed like they had to take over the position.

He thought for a while and had some guesses in his heart. Moreover, the information he got after that basically proved that his guess was correct.

Yunxiao sect could not be bothered with the country of Yan and could not be bothered to expand their control.

Of the seven states in the country of Yan, the Wu State was the most prosperous and had the highest production in the cultivation world. Next were the Xing, ping, and Ji provinces, followed by the Jin province. The Feiyun and Xue provinces added together might be about the same as the Jin province.

The Yunxiao sect controlled the Wuzhou, Xing Zhou, and Pingzhou.

This was especially true for the Wu State. The output of a single state was equivalent to the total output of the second to fourth ranked.

This was enough for Yunxiao sect.

Their hope for the Imperial court was simple: He was obedient, honest, and capable.

“Being obedient” meant that he should not have any improper thoughts and should be a good dog.

If there were only these two conditions, then the Lu family was indeed not suitable for the Emperor. It would be better to support a puppet.

But most importantly, there was a third condition: He could do things.

Yunxiao sect was a sect organization. They did not want to and were unwilling to manage the entire political system of the country of Yan personally. They even wanted to leave Wuzhou, Pingzhou, and Xing Zhou to the Imperial court if possible.

However, Yunxiao sect had more than three hundred thousand cultivators. From the perspective of itinerant cultivators, small sects, and small family clans, all of them were elites who enjoyed a large amount of resources. These resources had to be able to be supplied.

Their demand to the Imperial court was that the country of Yan had to be managed well, and the output could not be less to support the sect.

This required the Imperial court not to be a Pure Pet dog. It was not to keep it for fun, but to do things seriously.

After this incident, the Li Dynasty’s backbone was broken, and it was uncertain if they could do good.

If the Lu family were to be pulled in, their ability to do things would naturally be greatly improved. The Lu clan did not have any Foundation in the Imperial court. If they wanted to control the Imperial court, they still had to give in to Yunxiao sect, and they could use this to better control the Lu clan. Another point that was overlooked previously was that once the Lu family entered the scene, they would bring in the two northern states that had always been outside of the Yan country’s system and would be controlled by Yunxiao sect indirectly.

As for the potential risk that would come after the Lu family took over, they had also considered it.

But they didn’t care.

Although the Lu clan was very famous now and Lu Qing was very good at fighting, Yunxiao sect sensed that he was only a nascent soul realm cultivator. He was not as strong as li Shiwen in the past. It was still very early for him to challenge Yunxiao sect.

They were not worried that the Lu family would be disobedient or cause trouble. If there were really such signs, they felt that it would be much easier to resolve it than when they had dealt with the Li Dynasty in the past.

All in all, he was confident and fearless!

As for the matter of the Lu family rejecting the throne, the Yunxiao sect also had plans internally.

If it didn’t work, he would take some measures.

Lu Qing did not hear what the exact measures were, but he knew that it would not be good.

……

After hearing this news, Lu Qing felt angry and amused.

Before this, Lu Qing did not have a bad impression of Yunxiao sect. After many exchanges, han xuzi, a peak nascent soul realm sect master, had always been polite and friendly, without any arrogance.

In the end, it turned out that this was all he was thinking about behind his back!

Bah!

They had just fought side by side and had a tacit understanding of cooperation, but the other party had already started to plot all kinds of things.

He was prepared to put the Lu family on the throne and roast them.

Moreover, Lu Qing felt even more displeased when he heard the other party’s arrogant attitude when they were discussing the matter. The other party did not take the Lu clan and Lu Qing seriously at all.

Lu Qing suddenly had a Chuunibyou thought from his previous life:

the river flows thirty years East and thirty years West. Don’t bully the young for being poor!

damn, no wonder this sentence was so popular in my previous life. It’s really fitting.

After he calmed down, Lu Qing’s thoughts were basically set.

It seemed that this matter couldn’t be avoided, or rather, if he wanted to reject the throne, it would probably be quite troublesome.

Then he might as well accept it.

This might be a good opportunity for the Lu family to speed up their development.

Back then, the Lu family was able to take over the Qingfeng sect with just a County and control the entire Feiyun state. In the future, the Lu family might be able to control the Imperial court, unify the four states, and take over Yunxiao sect.

In the end, in this cultivation world, nothing could escape the power of a single person.

The Lu clan would have a few more nascent soul realm cultivators and Lu Qing would be able to form his own Dharma. If these goals could be achieved, then everything would be fine.

The Yunxiao sect’s greatest reliance was that they felt that they could easily manipulate Lu Qing and the Lu clan.

but the Lu family is different from the Li family, and I, old ancestor Lu, am even more different from li Shiwen.

Yunxiao sect’s Humph Humph Humph Humph Humph wants to roast me over the fire to eat. Let’s see whose teeth are tougher in a few years!
