Chapter 830 Refusing to Become Emperor
Xuanwu City.
As soon as Ning Chen came back from the military camp, Menzi immediately came to greet him, took the reins of the horse, and then said: "Your Majesty, we have a visitor at home!"
"Visitor? Who is it?"
"The accent of Daxuan Jingcheng sounds like that of a eunuch."
Ning Chen was surprised, "Where are the people?"
"Waiting in the hall!"
"Okay, I get it!"
Ning Chen came to the hall.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Princess was also here, talking to someone with his back turned to him. Ning Chen heard that they seemed to mention Emperor Xuan.
"Ning Chen, are you back?
When the Ninth Princess saw Ning Chen, her pretty face was dazzling and her voice was sweet.
The Ninth Princess herself is a little sweet girl.
The person who was talking to the Ninth Princess turned around and said, "See you, Your Majesty!"
"Is it you?"
Ning Chen was somewhat surprised, because this person was the eunuch who delivered orders in the palace, and was also one of the shadow guards. He was an old acquaintance.
"Did the Emperor send you here?"
Shadow Guard nodded, "Yes!"
"How is your Majesty, the old man?"
The shadow guard was silent for a moment, then took out something wrapped in oil paper from his arms and handed it over with both hands.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor asked me to hand this over to you personally."
Ning Chen took the thing in his hand, opened it, and said in surprise: "Imperial decree?"
Shadow Guard said: "This is the Holy Edict of the Supreme Emperor!"
Ning Chen groaned, opened the Holy Oracle, and was stunned when he saw the content clearly!
"What did your father say to you?" The ninth princess also came over to take a look curiously, but she remained silent for a while. After a while, she exclaimed: "Father, your father asked you to go back and inherit the throne?"
Ning Chen was confused.
The words on it are indeed written by Emperor Xuan himself.
But he actually wants to destroy the old and establish the new, depose Emperor De, and pass the throne to himself?
In this world, bloodline is the most important thing. This is true for ordinary people, let alone the royal family.
Even if the new emperor is stupid and ignorant, causing anger and resentment, Emperor Xuan still has other heirs. He still has several sons. If not, there are still princesses, old princes, etc... No matter what happens, it will not be his turn.
Shadow Guard said: “The Emperor’s edict has been spread to all states and counties.
Your Majesty, the country of Daxuan is in danger, the people are in dire straits, and everyone is looking forward to your return. "
Ning Chen looked at the ninth princess, "If I take away the throne from your emperor brother, will you hate me?"
The Ninth Princess did not think about it, shook her head, and said: "The emperor's brother crossed the river and demolished the bridge first. He is sorry for you, sorry for the ancestors of the royal family, sorry for the father, and sorry for the people of Daxuan.
The father's decision was certainly not made on a whim, but after careful consideration... This also means that Daxuan has reached a moment of life and death, and Daxuan needs you! "
Although the Ninth Princess is a little unruly and willful, she is very clear-minded and well-informed.
Ning Chen smiled and pinched her little cheek, then looked at the shadow guard, "Since you are here, stay a few more days... My Xuanwu City is very lively now."
The shadow guard was startled, and then said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to stay for a long time. I have to go back and recover as soon as possible."
"That's it..." Ning Chen thought for a moment, raised the holy edict in his hand, and said with a smile: "Then please go back and tell the Supreme Emperor that I...reject!"
Shadow Guard was stunned for a moment.
The Ninth Princess was also astonished.
Unexpectedly, Ning Chen actually refused the throne.
Ning Chen smiled and said: "I am not capable enough, and managing Xuanwu City is already very difficult... I am powerless to manage such a huge country."
The shadow guard leaned over and bowed, "Your Majesty, Daxuan is in danger, and we need you to go back and guard the country... Everyone is looking forward to your return!"
"When I left Daxuan, the country was peaceful and the people were at peace, and the army and horses were strong...Who made Daxuan what it is today? Who are you going to find?"
The shadow guard was about to speak, but Ning Chen waved his hand and said: "No need to say more... By the way, the Qingtuan in my Xuanwu City is delicious. You must try it when you come."
Ning Chen shouted outside: "Gu Yichun!"
Gu Yichun walked in quickly.
Ning Chen pointed at the shadow guard, "Arrange a place for him to live!"
"yes!"
Ning Chen looked at the shadow guard and said with a smile: "When you come to Xuanwu City, it's like going home. Let's have fun and all the expenses will be mine."
The shadow guard's face was full of worry, "Your Majesty..."
"I almost forgot, I'll give this back to you!"
Ning Chen returned the holy edict in his hand to him and interrupted him.
Gu Yichun looked at the shadow guard and said, "Please follow me!"
The shadow guard's face was full of anxiety, but he couldn't say anything more? I could only follow Gu Yichun down worriedly.
The Ninth Princess looked at Ning Chen, "You, you actually refused the throne?"
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Why, you want me to be the emperor? That is your old Zhang family's kingdom."
The Ninth Princess thought for a while, "The emperor's brother is not a qualified emperor... The country belongs to the Zhang family, but it also belongs to the people of Daxuan.
Your father must have given you careful consideration when he asked you to go back and inherit the throne. In other words, you are the most suitable person to be the emperor. "
Ning Chen knocked her little head, "Daxuan is in a mess right now. The country is lost and war is everywhere... The Xiliang Kingdom has raised troops, and the Showa Kingdom is eyeing it. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.
The most important thing is, if I go back, how can your emperor brother just sit there and wait to die... It can be said that there are external and internal troubles, and there are many dangers. Maybe I will die on the battlefield, and you will all be widowed by then. "
The Ninth Princess' face turned pale.
"Then don't go back to Daxuan, but I'm so worried about my father... Ning Chen, you are so capable, can you find a way to bring my father to Xuanwu City?"
Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll think of a way!"
He said this, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
The Emperor Xuan is the biggest trump card of the new emperor to threaten him. Only when the Emperor Xuan is in Daxuan, he will not act rashly... How could the new emperor let the Emperor Xuan leave?
So, it's very difficult to rescue the Emperor Xuan!
.......
When it was night, the news spread.
Pan Yucheng and others ran to Ning Chen.
Pan Yucheng said: "I heard that the emperor is going to abolish the Emperor De and pass the throne to you?"
Ning Chen nodded.
"That's great. If you want to become the emperor, with our relationship, don't you have to make me the general of the world's army?"
Feng Qi was shouting with excitement.
Ning Chen glanced at him, "How can the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World be worthy of you, Feng Dacongming? I will make you the first chicken head of Daxuan."
Feng Qizhen looked dumbfounded, "Ah? The first chicken head of Daxuan...what does that mean?"
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of the saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix... The first chicken head of Daxuan means you are very powerful."
Feng Qizhen was very happy, and looked at Pan Yucheng and others proudly, then bowed to Ning Chen: "Your Majesty, thank the Emperor Ning for his grace!"
Ning Chen was speechless, "Don't talk nonsense, what Emperor Ning? I refused!"
"What?" Feng Qizhen's eyes were as big as cow eggs, and he looked incredible, "Are you crazy? You even refused the throne?"
Others were also in disbelief.
