Chapter 549: Emperor Wen wants to abdicate?

Imperial City.

Han Jin brought Fang Yunshi's head back and brought back to the imperial city the news that Yun Zheng had been assassinated and that Zuo Ren wanted to send troops to Fuzhou to demand an explanation for Yun Zheng.

However, Han Jin only told Emperor Wen that those assassins were sent by Yun Li.

The unusual movements of the defenders at Beilu Pass made the courtiers panic.

Yunzheng had just defeated Beihuan and surrendered, and now the army was in full swing.

If Yun Zheng really mobilizes a large army to attack Fuzhou, it is basically impossible to hold the more than 100,000 defenders of Fuzhou.

Once Yunzheng attacks the imperial city, many people will be unlucky.

Emperor Wen sat on the throne, with no emotion or anger on his face, but kept glancing at the courtiers.

Facing Emperor Wen's gaze, many people felt secretly guilty, wondering what Emperor Wen meant.

"Ugh……"

After a long time, Emperor Wen sighed faintly and waved his hand feebly, "Those who are of the third rank and above should stay, and the rest should disperse!"

With Emperor Wen's order, everyone who should leave left.

The rest are all high-ranking officials in the DPRK.

After everyone left, Emperor Wen ordered people to close the palace door again.

Looking at the palace door slowly closing, many people were beating drums in their hearts.

Inexplicably, a depressing feeling of impending rain came over me.

Emperor Wen raised his eyes and glanced at the important ministers left behind, and sighed feebly again: "I am getting old..."

Listening to Emperor Wen's words, everyone couldn't help but beat drums secretly in their hearts.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty?"

"The Holy One is in his prime."

"The Holy One is several years older than Wei Chen, but he looks much younger than Wei Chen..."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Everyone's hearts are beating the drum, and the flattery that should be flattered must still be flattered.

And to be honest, Emperor Wen was only in his early fifties, so he was really not that old.

"When people get old, they should accept their fate."

Emperor Wen waved his hands feebly, "I want to imitate the ancient sage kings and abdicate in time to let the prince ascend the throne. What do you all think?"

boom!

Emperor Wen's words were like dropping a bombshell on the calm lake.

Everyone's head was buzzing at Emperor Wen's sudden words, and they looked stupidly at Emperor Wen on the throne.

Emperor Wen is about to abdicate now?

What is this situation?

Could it be because of His Highness the Sixth Prince?

Yun Li was also completely stunned by Emperor Wen's words, and was extremely happy in his heart.

However, Yunli quickly recovered his senses.

As soon as Lao Liu makes some noise, my father will abdicate. Something is obviously wrong!

"Father!"

After coming back to his senses, Yun Li quickly knelt down and said, "My son is far inferior to my father in terms of talent and virtue. I still need to sharpen my skills. I cannot do without my father! I beg your father to take back my life!"

Listening to Yun Li's words, Xu Shifu couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Well, Yun Li is not stupid yet.

Don’t say that you don’t know whether Emperor Wen really wanted to abdicate. Even if Emperor Wen really wanted to abdicate, he would have to refuse symbolically!

"I beg you, Your Majesty, to take back your life!"

As Yun Li knelt down, the ministers also knelt down one after another.

"I have been on the throne for more than twenty years. I am old and tired."

Emperor Wen shook his head and sighed, "I used to always worry about Sanbiancheng, but now that Sanbiancheng has been taken back, I have nothing to worry about! Now I just want to abdicate as soon as possible, become the Supreme Emperor as soon as possible, and live a peaceful life for a few days! Mu! Okay, come up with the decree!"

Drafting a decree?

Mu Shun felt secretly bitter in his heart, how could he dare to draft a decree?

"Please, the Holy One, take back your life!"

Mu Shun also knelt down with a bang and lowered his head.

The ministers also followed suit again.

Xu Shifu knelt on the ground and quietly winked at Yun Li, signaling Yun Li to refuse with all his strength.

In his heart, Yun Li wished that Emperor Wen would abdicate, but he still had to do the drama that needed to be done.

After hesitating for a long time, Yun Li suddenly raised his head and said, "My father is in his prime, and I only want to assist my father in creating a prosperous world for me. I will never covet the throne! I don't want to bear the reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial." , if my father insists on abdicating the throne, my son will have no choice but to crash to death in this hall to show his ambition!"

As he said that, Yun Li made a determined look.

It seemed as if he was about to hit the pillars in the temple at the next moment.

Xu Shifu glanced at Yun Li with satisfaction.

My careful teaching during this period of time has finally paid off.

Following Yun Li's statement, the ministers also began to request again.

Some people are sincere and some people are fake.

But no matter what, the ministers spoke sincerely, as if without Emperor Wen, the great cadre would collapse.

"Don't try to persuade me, I really want to abdicate!"

Emperor Wen shook his head, looking lost, "Everyone has seen what Lao Liu is capable of! If Lao Liu sends troops south, it is basically impossible for the defenders everywhere to hold on!"

"Once the imperial court goes to war with Lao Liu, the tribes in Moxi and the Yu Kingdom will probably take advantage of it."

"When the time comes, our country will definitely be plunged into war, and the people will be displaced and starve to death everywhere."

"If I abdicate now, I can still leave a good name in the history books in the future."

"If I wait until the world falls into war, I will be a foolish king in the history books of future generations!"

"I'm tired and need to rest! You all get up! You can take care of the rest!"

After saying that, Emperor Wen stood up and left the hall.

Looking at Emperor Wen's leaving figure, the ministers secretly complained in their hearts.

What to do now?

After leaving the main hall, Emperor Wen suddenly showed a smile on his face.

Give it a try!

I'll let you toss it slowly!

Could it be that Lao Liu, the rebellious son, wanted to use this to force himself to give him the warship?

Or are you deliberately causing trouble for the third child?

Now, let’s see how the third child responds!

Make a fuss, make a fuss!

Anyway, there is always someone more anxious than the emperor himself!

The smile on Emperor Wen's face was particularly bright.

I even wanted to have a few drinks.

As Emperor Wen left, all the ministers in the palace were completely dumbfounded.

Emperor Wen left, but no one opened the palace door!

If Emperor Wen did not order the palace door to be opened, who would dare to open the palace door?

If they were locked up like this for a few days, wouldn't they all starve to death here?

"I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to make up his mind on this matter now!"

Zhang Huai stood up and looked at Yun Li who had just gotten up with a dark face.

If Yun Li hadn't been the prince, he would have wanted to slap Yun Li twice.

Although no one knew who sent those assassins, Prince Yunli was undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

As soon as His Highness the Sixth Highness defeated Beihuan and surrendered, he couldn't wait to send people to assassinate His Highness Sixth Highness. He really wanted to provoke the Beifu Army to start a war with the imperial court, right?

If His Highness the Sixth Prince really comes to the imperial city, the first person to die will be Prince Yun Li!

"Yes, Your Highness, you'd better make up your mind!"

"The Sixth Highness's prestige in the Beifu Army is not mentioned by the veteran, but His Highness the Crown Prince also understands! Now that His Highness is assassinated, if the court does not give an explanation to His Highness, the Beifu Army may really want to go south to demand an explanation for His Highness!"

"That's right! Everyone knows what happened to the Beifu Army before. The soldiers of the Beifu Army were complaining to begin with, and now that something like this has happened, they might use it as an excuse!"

"Now that the Holy One is not concerned about this matter, I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to make an idea. If the Beifu Army really leaves the border and goes south, we may really be in civil strife..."

As Zhang Huai spoke, everyone asked Yun Li to make his decision.

Emperor Wen has left, but the door of this palace is still closed.

If the prince Yun Li is not allowed to make the decision, who will?

"This……"

Facing everyone's pleas, Yun Li panicked and hurriedly looked at Xu Shifu asking for help...
