Chapter 827 I Want to Set Things Right
"See the Great Emperor!"
Zong Sibai quickly knelt down and bowed.
The new emperor stood up from the dragon chair and bowed, "Father Jin An, why are you here?"
"Why, I have abdicated, and I can't even come to the imperial study?"
The new emperor frowned slightly, "I don't mean that!"
Emperor Xuan put his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on Zong Sibai, and said in a deep voice: "You go down first!"
Zong Sibai looked at the new emperor subconsciously.
The new emperor was also startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Zong Sibai said respectfully: "Old minister, please retire!"
After Zong Sibai retreated, Emperor Xuan looked at the new emperor with a tired look and eyes full of anger and disappointment.
"I ask you, are you planning to let the Great Xuan Jiangshan that your ancestors built fall to pieces?"
The new emperor's face changed, "Father, my son is now the emperor of Daxuan. How can it be possible for Daxuan to collapse?"
"Isn't that what you did? Yangcheng was lost, Chongzhou was occupied, Beilinguan granary was robbed... The eighteen states of Daxuan have lost two states, the border pass has been breached, and the enemy is in my territory of Daxuan "How do you plan to solve it?"
The new emperor frowned. He had ordered the news to be blocked. How did his father know?
It seems that the people around him are not clean, they are all his father's people.
The new emperor said solemnly: "I can handle these matters, so my father doesn't have to worry!"
"Aren't I worried? If I don't care anymore, Daxuan will be eaten away by all the countries... The thousands of miles of mountains and rivers laid down by our ancestors and countless soldiers with their blood will become the territory of other countries."
"Father, I have already announced to the whole country that we are looking for good generals, etc..."
The new emperor said angrily: "By the time you find the so-called good generals, Daxuan will be gone a long time ago... Thousands of armies are easy to get, but good generals are hard to find. Haven't you replaced all the good generals that I, Daxuan, can recruit and are good at fighting?"
Now, even Li Hanru has retired and returned to his hometown. What on earth do you want to do? You idiot, won't stop until you drag Daxuan into the abyss, right? "
The new emperor's face was as dark as water.
"After all, my father still doesn't believe in my son's abilities!"
"You have incredible abilities... I have taken you with me since you were a child and trained you carefully, but once you became powerful, you completely fell into power. You pampered sycophants, stayed away from loyal ministers, and were completely led by others."
The new emperor's face was livid, "Father, I am now Emperor Daxuan... Whether my son's decision is right or wrong will be judged by future generations."
"What will future generations say?" Emperor Xuan roared angrily: "No need for future generations, you go and listen to the voices of the common people now. The people at the border are having a hard time, who is not scolding you and me in the spine?
They scolded me for being stupid and failing to educate my children. They accuse you of being foolish and incompetent, and of harming the country and the people. "
The new emperor snorted coldly, "It's just a bunch of unruly people... I'll deal with them one by one when I have my hands free."
Emperor Xuan was very angry, "Those are the people of Daxuan, your people. Only with them can Daxuan exist... Do you remember that Ning Chen said that water can carry a boat and also capsize it? What you have to do now The purpose is to appease the people, not to stand against them.”
The new emperor sneered, "It's Ning Chen again. Anyway, whatever Ning Chen says is right, no matter what I do, it's wrong... What a pity. Although he and his father share the same love as father and son, his surname is Ning after all. Father If you really love him so much, why not pass the throne to him? "
Emperor Xuan was so angry that he was shaking all over.
He tried hard to suppress his anger, "I heard that you imprisoned your fourth brother?"
"He suffered a defeat, insulted the country's dignity, and deserves to be punished!"
"You know it's not his fault."
The new emperor said indifferently: "So, I just imprisoned him without causing too much trouble."
Emperor Xuan's face was livid, "Da Xuan is already riddled with holes and cannot withstand the torment... If you want to sit firmly on the throne, starting from tomorrow, let me listen to the government behind the curtain.
Only you and I, father and son, can save Daxuan from water and fire. "
The new emperor's expression changed slightly, "Father, do you want to listen to politics behind the curtain?"
Emperor Xuan nodded, "I have no other ideas, I just want to keep the Great Xuan Mountains stable."
The new emperor leaned over and said, "I don't think I need to trouble my father. I can handle these matters."
Emperor Xuan naturally knew what the new emperor was worried about?
He lowered his posture, even pleading, and said: "I have no other ideas. I just want to save Daxuan... If I were greedy for power and couldn't bear to part with that chair, I wouldn't pass him on to you."
The new emperor had a tough attitude, "Father, you don't need to worry about matters in the court!"
"I just want to help you stabilize your country, I have no other intention."
The new emperor said: "My father has worked so hard, and I understand...Now that my father is old, I can't bear to have my father work so hard anymore, otherwise someone will say that I am unfilial."
Emperor Xuan looked disappointed.
He couldn't bear to see Daxuan decline step by step, and he couldn't bear to see the people suffer.
He had already thought about it, and as long as the new emperor agreed, he was willing to lick his old face and beg Ning Chen.
He looked at the new emperor, feeling extremely disappointed.
Emperor Xuan stopped talking, hunched over and left!
The new emperor looked at Emperor Xuan's back and snorted coldly... Listening to politics behind the curtain? He finally had great power, how could he give up his power to others?
Outside, Eunuch Quan saw Emperor Xuan walking out in despair and hurriedly came to help him.
He originally wanted to follow in, but Emperor Xuan asked him to wait outside...even though he didn't know what happened inside? But looking at Emperor Xuan's appearance, he could make a rough guess.
Emperor Xuan walked towards the Taihuang Palace in despair.
But halfway through, Emperor Xuan's gloomy eyes suddenly became firm, as if he had made some kind of determination.
He straightened his back and said in a deep voice: "Quansheng, go to Changsheng Hall."
Changsheng Hall is the royal ancestral temple.
Eunuch Quan responded and helped Emperor Xuan to Changsheng Hall.
"You all go down!"
Emperor Xuan waved his hand and drove away the guards at the door.
"Quansheng, you wait outside."
"Yes!"
Emperor Xuan entered Changsheng Hall alone.
The Changsheng Hall was filled with spirit tablets, and a long-burning lamp was lit in front of each spirit tablet, so the temperature in the hall was very high.
Emperor Xuan stepped forward, added oil and lit incense, and worshiped respectfully.
He stared at the spirit tablets. The Great Xuan River and Mountain were conquered by these people with great efforts, and after generations of hard work, there is today's great Xuan.
Emperor Xuan was silent for a long time. I don't know what he was thinking?
Suddenly, he knelt down.
"The ancestors of the Great Xuan, I, the unworthy descendant Zhang Chengyun, come to confess my crime!
Now the Great Xuan is in danger, the new emperor is incompetent, and the people are angry... All this is my fault!
Please forgive me, I made a decision that violated the ancestral teachings... I want to restore order and give peace to the people of the world.
If the ancestors want to blame me, I will take it all, even if I die and never recover, I am willing!"
After Emperor Xuan finished speaking, he kowtowed three times respectfully, stood up and strode out of the hall, without saying a word, he took Quan Sheng back to the Grand Palace.
"Quan Sheng, please prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
"Yes!"
Emperor Xuan personally took the pen and wrote quickly.
When seeing the sacred edict written by Emperor Xuan, Eunuch Quan was stunned!
