The Imperial City of Muguo, the Golden Luan Palace

"Abdication~~Alas~~ Is there a better way than abdication?"

Emperor Mu Guo sighed, thought for a while and said to the generalissimo.

People are born with an endless pursuit of power, and after obtaining the corresponding power, they must want to go to the next level and gain greater power.

When the power is boundless, that is, I am the country, and the country is me, at that time, it will not be so simple to let go of the unrestrained power in my hands.

In the main hall, all the ministers gasped, and this kind of discussion about the supreme power was something that their ministers did not want to speak, and it was not okay to be in favor of it, nor was it okay to oppose it.

At this time, all the ministers in the palace looked at their noses, noses, mouths, mouths, and hearts, and their hearts were at ease, and they did not talk or speak.

In the temple, one person can speak in favor, and another person can speak against.

"Yes, there is another way besides abdication, but there is little hope."

Generalissimo Wu Pingfan thought about it and replied.

"What else can be done?"

Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong actually knew what the solution was, but he still asked.

"Reinforcements, with reinforcements, everything is solved."

Generalissimo Wu Pingfan replied simply.

"Reinforcements, what other reinforcements? The army of the He State was held back by the Moon Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom, and the reinforcements of the Left Kingdom were ambushed by the Guang Kingdom, and except for these two countries, no other parliament reached out to help. ”

Emperor Mu Guo's heart was like a mirror, and he spoke.

Zhao Qichen, the crown prince sitting in the first seat on the left, suddenly flashed in his heart when he heard the words "other countries, other countries", his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he was trying to recall it.

"There is one more, that is, open the gate of the imperial city and surrender!"

Generalissimo Wu Pingfan released another big thunder, which blew up the Jinluan Palace.

"Surrender, that's impossible, it's impossible to surrender in this life!"

Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong had a stern attitude and refused in a tough tone.

"Then there is no other way but to abdicate!"

Generalissimo Wu Pingfan spread his hands, and then talked about the previous abdication.

"Emperor Rong Ben think about it."

Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong closed his eyes and said helplessly.

In fact, Emperor Zhao Xudong has another worry about the "abdication", because the "abdication" of the emperor who is the highest power in history is a very dangerous thing.

Frankly speaking, everyone lives in this world, in fact, to fight for power and profit, which is the common nature of human beings, because the greater the power, the more resources can be occupied, and the more resources occupied, the more you can do to satisfy your endless selfish desires.

If the original emperor rashly relinquished power, there may be many people who will suffer, and there may even be the emperor himself.

It's easy to get power, but it's hard to let it go.

If the new emperor succeeds to the throne and ascends the throne as the new emperor, then the life of the old emperor may be in danger, and even if he does not die, he may be imprisoned by the new emperor until the old emperor dies.

Therefore, it is precisely because the danger of hasty decentralization is too great that there are very few emperors who voluntarily delegate power.

As the head of a country, Emperor Wood Zhao Xudong naturally knows very well that delegating power is equivalent to losing his life, and in front of the throne, family affection is nothing.

The historical King of God passed on the throne to his son when he was alive was basically more than lucky.

What's more, people's selfish desires are the same, and they want to give up after having them, not to mention this kind of heavenly power, I am afraid it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

In times of power, the words spoken are Chrysostom, but after giving up power, no one will listen to them, so the vast majority of emperors are reluctant to give up power while they are alive.

I saw that the face of the Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was cloudy, and he pondered for a long time and didn't speak again, because he didn't know how to speak.

Although you are the king of a country and your power is boundless, there are times when you can't help it, such as when you are the king of a dead country.

"No, you can't abdicate from your father, the child can't bear the burden of the country, and this country still needs your father to carry it."

The crown prince was thinking about the flash of inspiration just now, and when he came back to his senses, he heard that the Emperor of Mu Country and the generalissimo were discussing the abdication again, and after being stunned for a while, he said sincerely.

The hall fell silent again.

The ministers of the palace once again looked at their noses, noses and mouths, mouths and hearts, and their hearts were at ease, without talking or speaking.

I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Yicai, the prime minister of the left who was sitting in the first seat under the crown prince Zhao Qichen, suddenly stood up, arched his hand to the wood emperor Zhao Xudong, the crown prince Zhao Qichen and the generalissimo Wu Pingfan, and said:

"The minister has a compromise idea, but he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not?"

"Speak"

Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong said.

"Your Majesty, you can issue an edict to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supervise the country!

As soon as you come to the emperor, you don't have to abdicate, just say that you suddenly feel sick, and let the prince supervise the country for the time being.

Second, it can make the prince familiar with government affairs as soon as possible and lay the foundation for future succession. ”

The idea of Xiao Yicai, the prime minister of Zuo, was in the heart of the Emperor of Muguo and the crown prince, and he couldn't help but nod his head when he saw the wood emperor Zhao Xudong and the crown prince Zhao Qichen.

"Prime Minister Zuo's idea is good."

Generalissimo Wu Pingfan also nodded in praise.

Seeing that the Emperor, the crown prince and the generalissimo of the Mu Kingdom all nodded, they all looked at each other, and then they all stood up and asked the Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong for advice:

"Please ask the emperor to issue an edict for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country."

Mu Guo Tingwei Prison Black Prison Female Cell

Tingwei Prison is a national prison for the emperor's relatives and court officials, Tingwei Prison is better than the general prison environment, the prisoners in it range from one person to one family, one person has a single room, and one family has a house.

The Black Prison, on the other hand, is for prisoners who have committed the most heinous crimes and committed serious mistakes.

The black prison did not see the sun all day long, the whole prison was gloomy, the air inside was stuffy, wet and dewy everywhere, and the smell of urine and urine mixed with the smell of moss made people want to gag when they smelled it.

At this time, Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, Zhao Yurou, was wearing a prison suit, wearing inferior cloth shoes, and lying in a thatched cell with her hair scattered.

Zhao Yurou has lived in the palace since she was a child, although she lives in a relatively simple bungalow, which is not as luxurious as other palaces with maternal forces as the backstage princess, but it is more than a hundred times better than ordinary people's houses.

"cough~cough~cough~"

Risking to live in a prison cell with such a vicious environment, with the physique of a weak woman like Zhao Yurou, it didn't take long for the whole person to get sick and have frequent coughs.

"Water~~Water~~ I want to drink water!"

Zhao Yurou's face turned pale and shouted at the female jailer outside the cell.

"Hmph~~"

I saw Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, come and look at the prisoner Zhao Yurou who was wearing a cloak, snorted coldly, took a bowl, poured some water casually, and put it in the wooden barrage in front of the cell.

"Give~~, it's really troublesome, not long after I came, I asked my mother to pour water for you! There's a lot more to do with my mother! ”

Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, muttered with a bad attitude.

Regardless of the emperor's relatives and relatives, dignitaries and nobles, none of the people who have been sent to the black prison have been able to get out alive, which has caused the jailers in the black prison to look at no one and ignore them.

The prisoners who are imprisoned in the black prison are all dead anyway, so why bother yourself with these people who deserve to die! This is the general mentality of being a jailer in a black cell.

Zhao Yurou got up from the ground with difficulty, reached out and picked up the bowl on the ground, cough~~~ coughed a few times, lifted the bowl to his mouth, and couldn't wait to take a sip of water.

"Poof~~"

I saw that Zhao Yurou immediately squirted out the water she had just drunk in her mouth.

"Why is the water smelly, how can you give it to people to drink?"

Zhao Yurou shouted angrily to Sister Feng, the female jailer leader outside the cell.

As Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, although she has never eaten rare and exotic beasts, she has never eaten the delicacies of the mountains and seas, brocade clothes and jade food, when has she ever suffered such a grievance, she has never drunk cold water, and she actually gave herself stinky water.

"What's wrong with the stinky water, it's good to have to drink, what? I also want the old lady to ask for fairy water to drink for you, don't be embarrassed. ”

Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, was full of arrogance, I am afraid that she has done a lot of such things to bully prisoners in ordinary times, and has developed an arrogant and domineering spirit.

"It's reasonable to give people to drink stinky water, right? cough cough cough~~ Aren't you afraid that Lord Yanwei will treat you for the crime of disrespect? ”

Zhao Yurou pointed at Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, and said angrily, coughing loudly as she spoke.

"You go sue! The old lady is waiting! Don't say that you are a princess and concubine, I am afraid that even if you are the queen of the dynasty, you will have to be held by the old lady when you enter this black prison. Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, took a sip of Zhao Rou's words, and then said, "Lord Yanwei is busy!" I don't have time to deal with you death row prisoners, in this black prison, what the old lady said is more effective than the emperor. ”

"Smack~~"

I saw that Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailer, couldn't help but say that she stepped forward and slapped Zhao Yurou, only to hear a loud "pop", and Zhao Yurou's already pale face immediately floated with a five-finger seal, and the whole half of her face turned red.

Zhao Yurou couldn't help but be stunned, as Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, when had she ever been slapped by someone, even her father, the supreme ruler of the Mu Kingdom, had never beaten her, only to see Zhao Yurou coldly looking at Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, without saying a word, as if she was going to eat her alive.

"Smack~~"

Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, saw Zhao Yurou staring at her viciously, her face changed, and she slapped Zhao Yurou hard.

Then he said in an extremely arrogant tone: "What do you see? I've never seen a beautiful woman! ”

I saw Zhao Yurou biting her lip tightly, touching the face of the fan with her hand, and staring at Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, if she could kill people with her eyes, I was afraid that Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, would have been cut by a thousand knives now.

"Brother Deqing, Yurou misses you so much! Yu Rou knows that you are leading an army to attack Lin'an Mansion City, but Yu Rou is in prison and can't go to meet you! ”

Zhao Yurou suffered a great grievance, and the first thing she thought of was not others, but Liu Deqing, who had not been with her for a few months, and in the past few months with Liu Deqing, Zhao Yurou knew what happiness is, what freedom is, and what life is.

Zhao Yurou clearly knew that Liu Deqing was leading a million-strong army to attack Lin'an Mansion in order to be able to see himself after a long time of separation.

Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, looked at Zhao Yurou staring at herself, her eyes were not good! Then I took a closer look at Zhao Yurou, and wanted to slap it again, but looking at Zhao Yurou's peerless face, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of jealousy, how could a woman's face be so beautiful, and said with jealousy:

"In other words, look at your face, God has given you a peerless face, why don't you cherish it well, today it falls into the hands of the old lady, let the old lady ruin your peerless face."

I saw that Sister Feng, the leader of the female jailers, held the iron chain tied to Zhao Yurou's hands with one hand to prevent Zhao Yurou from retreating, and took out a knife from her pocket with one hand and gestured at Zhao Yurou's face.

"You said that if I cut it with this knife, won't your peerless face be ruined?"
