Chapter 1020 The throne should be passed to you

The two men lowered their heads and entered the main hall under the sharp gaze of the leader of the Royal Guards at the door of the main hall.

The main hall was a little dim, with a dozen candles lit on the walls.

The retired emperor sat at the table, reviewing memorials in the dim candlelight.

It seems that although Prince Ping wanted to be in power, he was a waste. He got a headache every day when he saw the pile of memorials, so he simply threw them to the retired emperor for review.

"Great uncle!"

"I've met the Supreme Emperor!"

The two men came closer, bowed, and greeted quietly.

The retired emperor originally thought that it was another eunuch delivering memorials, but when he heard the two voices, he looked up in surprise and saw two young men, one tall and one short, dressed in eunuch costumes standing in front of him.

The two men were in disguise and wore human skin masks on their faces, so the emperor did not recognize them at first.

It was Mo Beihan who stepped forward and knelt down to salute:

"Han'er greets the Imperial Uncle Grandfather!"

The emperor recognized the familiar voice and quickly stood up to help him, his voice full of excitement and concern:

"Han'er? You are Han'er? Why are you here? Have you been locked up by them as well?"

"No, Han'er and Ran Ran are here to rescue the Emperor's great uncle. I wonder if the Emperor's great uncle is willing to leave the palace with Han'er?"

"Leaving the palace?"

The emperor never thought that there would be a day when he would be able to leave the palace.

Ever since the day he was placed under house arrest by his unfilial grandson, King Ping, he had been hoping to leave the palace.

However, King Ping had sent too many experts to guard outside the door, and his shadow guards could not get in at all. Several batches of shadow guards had already been killed by those people.

Gradually, he no longer wanted the shadow guard to save him.

He thought that perhaps he would remain under house arrest by King Ping in this remote abandoned palace, helping King Ping review memorials every day until he died of old age.

But he didn't expect that someone would sneak in at the risk of his life and take him out of the palace.

He shook his head, slowly walked back to the table, sat down weakly, and said to the two of them:

"You guys should get out quickly, don't let anyone find you, or you won't be able to leave! My old bones are just a burden, you can't take me with you, there are so many experts out there, don't let me get you into trouble. You guys should leave!"

"Han'er, tell your grandfather for me that I am sorry for him and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Dingbei Army! I know that since Hao'er ascended the throne, he has been withholding food, wages and weapons from the Dingbei Army, putting them in a difficult situation."

"I have repeatedly pressured Hao'er to distribute food, military pay and weapons to the Dingbei Army on time, but he pretended to obey and even threatened you with your safety. I am really helpless."

"Oh, if I had known, I would not have passed the throne to him! It's a pity that you were too young at that time, otherwise the throne should have been passed to you."

He took another deep look at his now tall and handsome nephew and said with relief:

"Now that you have grown up, you are fully capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility. I have made up my mind. I will draft an imperial decree and let Hao'er abdicate to you. You will be the next emperor."

Mo Beihan was somewhat moved. He originally thought that his great uncle was somewhat selfish and would persuade him and his grandfather to support which prince to succeed to the throne.

However, he did not expect that his great uncle would be willing to let him succeed to the throne.

He calmly observed the look in his great-uncle's eyes. There was no calculation or unwillingness in them, but rather helplessness towards the current situation and hope for himself.

He choked up a bit and said seriously:

"Granduncle, Han'er doesn't want to be the emperor. You made the agreement with my grandfather, so you should discuss it with him. I can't make the decision for him."

"Grandfather will lead the Dingbei Army to Zhongzhou in about ten days. You can talk to him then."

"Now, are you willing to leave the palace with me? I'm afraid that King Ping will harm you."
