286: Emperor Baiyun I
Outside the palace, Enzocid desperately fought his way out of the siege, rushed into the palace, rescued the queen mother of the eldest prince, and after learning that his son had committed suicide in defeat, the queen also committed suicide by hitting the wall.
Enzocid let out a roar of pain, but he was randomly surrounded by a large group of Saint-rank powerhouses.
The battle has been decided, and the Holy Rank powerhouses who have been hiding there have appeared one after another, surrounding Enzocid layer by layer.
Faced with an enemy ten times his size, Enzocid fought bloodily and was finally outnumbered and killed by the queen's side.
Along with the fall, there were also four Saint-Order powerhouses who besieged Enzosid, and the remaining seven or eight people were also injured one by one.
It can be seen that Enzocid's strong strength.
Ankovas quietly hid in the corner to heal, never going to do anything else.
Lu Bu received Liu Bowen's order to integrate all the soldiers of the Flying Army, withdraw from the square, retreat to the Earl's palace of Steenbergen, and completely hand over the battlefield to Prince Kira's people.
Inside the decaying and luxurious palace.
"Kira. You're coming...", followed by a rapid cough, the old emperor seemed to be reluctantly bracing himself, waved his hand vigorously, and a trembling chamberlain next to him lifted the curtain and hurriedly retreated.
"Father. Prince Kira knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and did not look at the old emperor: "The imperial brother is dead." ”
"You... Very well done. The old emperor's face was sallow. It was a color full of the smell of withered old age, and there was no trace of essence in his eyes, which were so cloudy that it seemed that even his eyelids could not be opened.
It's just that after such a simple conversation between father and son, it seems to be a tacit understanding. They all shut up and didn't speak.
For a long time, the only thing in the room was the old emperor's gasping like bellows.
Aslan quietly fell to his knees on one knee with Prince Kira. He quietly raised his head and looked at the old emperor, the former lord of the Baiyun Empire, at this moment he was completely a lingering old man, his robe was crooked, his face was wrinkled like tree bark, and there was no trace of imperial brilliance on his gray face, and most importantly, in his cloudy eyes.
Huh? That's clearly vigilance!
That's right. The old emperor looked at the son in front of him, and looked at the prince of Kira, and his eyes were full of vigilance and vigilance without calming the joy of the coup.
Time froze as if dead, and both the Emperor and the Prince seemed to be testing each other's patience. Aslan's heart suddenly moved, and he clearly saw the emperor's crooked robe fall to the ground, vaguely revealing a sword hilt, and the big withered hand was squeezing the sword hilt with all his might.
Finally, for a long time. The old emperor sighed suddenly, and there was a hint of complexity in his voice. A hint of difficulty: "You, you're here to ask me to abdicate." ”
Prince Kira didn't answer.
The old emperor suddenly had a sickly flush on his face, he sat up with difficulty, still pressing the hilt of the sword in his arms with one hand, looked at his son carefully, and said slowly: "This time, you calmed down the matter with one hand, and now everything in the imperial capital is under your control." You are young and resolute, thoughtful, hidden, and stoic... Most of the people who have come to this point are due to yourself. Since I have announced my abdication and passed on the throne to you, according to the rules, I should go to accompany the emperor. ”
Prince Kira still didn't answer.
Aslan sighed inwardly - the emperor family has no family affection!
Although the old emperor likes this little son, and has always tended to regard the little emperor as his heir, he is now forced to abdicate, and according to the history of various countries, the emperors who are forced to abdicate have no good end.
Now, Baekje the Great doesn't have any chance of regaining power, he just wants to live.
At this moment, Aslan clearly grasped the mind of Emperor Baekje.
Prince Kira still didn't speak, and the haze in the old emperor's eyes revealed little by little, and his breathing became shorter and shorter. Seems to grit his teeth: "You... Like history, it will kill me now, the life of an old man who is struggling to survive?"
Finally, Prince Kira raised his head, and at this moment, the prince had a gentle smile on his face: "Father, you are too careful. ”
With that, the prince stood up easily, and he walked into the bedside with a gentle smile on his face. The old emperor suddenly looked like an old lion who was approached by the enemy, and the whole person became nervous, pinching the hilt of the sword in his hand, and the green tendons burst out.
But when Prince Kira walked to the side of the bed, he only stretched out his hand, gently helped his father straighten his robe, and then lowered his eyelids, looked at his father, and said softly: "Father, I am different from the imperial brother, I will always be your son who is most respected." ”
The embarrassment of the decline of the Baekje Emperor all fell in the eyes of Aslandi, and at this moment, a sentence suddenly flashed in Asland's heart:
This is politics!
"Father, although you abdicate, you can still be the emperor, but you don't care about political affairs. Prince Kira smiled, his eyes bright, and the sparkle was half confident. Half cold: "However, father, you are indeed old." State affairs are complicated, and you are short of energy. This time, the headquarters is almost on the side of the imperial brother, and you actually didn't notice it at all, proving anything, the entire headquarters has been out of your control. ”
Although the voice is soft, the meaning of the words is indescribably hard!
At the same time, it also revealed a message that Prince Kira was going to take action against the command.
After finishing speaking, Prince Kira took a step back and bowed to say goodbye: "Your illness has not healed. In the future, I will recuperate in peace, and the empire will be handed over to me. ”
After saying that, Prince Kira walked up to Aslan, gently pulled him up, as if smiling at Aslan, and left with Aslan.
Before leaving. Aslan glanced back, and the old emperor had a complicated expression on his face. That cloudy old eye. Full of decay and emptiness...
Walking out of the palace, Prince Kira did not leave immediately, but just dragged Aslan to stand at the gate of the palace and wait. There was confidence in his eyes, and a determined smile on his lips.
Sure enough, in less than a moment, a waiter came out of the palace, and this waiter looked frightened and held something in his hand. He trotted all the way to the princess of Kira, knelt on the ground with a thud, and held the thing above his head with both hands.
Prince Kira gently took it and opened it.
"Establish the crown prince Kira as the new emperor and give him the title of Emperor Baiyun I!"
This sentence was scribbled on this white cloth, and the handwriting was a little crooked, and it was obvious that the old emperor was already extremely weak in his heart when he wrote it himself. The signature on the ground below is even more sloppy, and the seal on the ground is stamped on the top. It's also a little vague because of the lack of force.
Prince Kira smiled with satisfaction. Then he recruited a subordinate of the inner court guard. He handed over the white cloth.
"Spread it to all departments. ”
