Chapter 783 You Abdicate

The Empress Dowager looked at his tear-stained and red-stained face, recalled what happened to him when he was a child, and what he was doing now, and felt angry, sad, and pity at times.

Many emotions finally turned into a sigh, and he said seriously: "Emperor, your intention to force Aijia to come back this time, Aijia knows. But, do you know why Aijia came back last time, why did you tell you never again?" Will be back?"

"I don't know, I just think that the old ancestor is so cruel." The emperor was like a spoiled child in front of her.

"Because, Aijia knows that your time is approaching. If Aijia doesn't leave, I can't bear to watch you die, and you will definitely beg hard, why bother?"

The emperor's heart was shocked, "The old ancestor is clearly able to save me, why did he watch me die?"

The Empress Dowager said solemnly: "The Ai family told you that you are the emperor, and your lifespan is determined by God. If the Ai family forcibly changes the will of God, it will disrupt the order of the world."

The emperor shook his head, "I don't want to hear this. I don't want to die. Everyone doesn't want to die. Why do people in the world seek famous doctors for thousands of dollars? Isn't it also to save their lives? Since the ancestors have this ability, why didn't they save me? I also The descendants of the Murong family, you are able to come back today for Lao Qi, which proves that you have us in your heart. If this is the case, I don’t understand why you can’t take pity on me? Or, in your heart, I will never be as good as Lao Qi important?"

The Empress Dowager held his hand and said slowly: "Remember when you were still the crown prince, did Ai's family ask you a question?"

The emperor raised his head and hesitated for a moment, "The ancestor asked many questions, but I don't remember which one the ancestor was referring to?"

The Empress Dowager looked at him, "Think about it."

The emperor began to feel that his mind was clouded, but looking at the clear eyes of the empress dowager, the cloud in his mind seemed to dissipate all of a sudden, and he became clear.

He suddenly remembered that question, and his heart felt like a layer of ice was soaked in it. It was indescribably cold, and his body began to tremble slightly.

However, he raised his head and said, "Zhen, I really don't remember."

The Empress Dowager laughed lightly, her smile was extremely mocking, "Aijia asked you, if you would die young when you become an emperor in the future, would you still be willing? Emperor, are you willing again?"

The emperor trembled for no reason. At that time, how did he answer at that time? He remembered it perfectly.

He said: "A man should stand upright and do a career. If he forgets his mission and the responsibilities on his shoulders because he is afraid of death, then he will live a long life. What's the use? I want to be an emperor. It's not for power and ambition, it's because I really want to do practical things for the people of Dazhou to make the country prosperous and strong, and I want to be a wise emperor like my grandfather through the ages."

Seeing that he was silent, the Empress Dowager repeated what he had said.

After hearing this, the emperor bowed his head and remained silent for a long time before raising his head and saying: "Yes, I have not forgotten my original intention. I still have many national policies to implement. I will work hard to govern and seek the well-being of Great Zhou."

"This, can your brother do it?" The Empress Dowager asked again.

The emperor was shocked, "What does the ancestor mean?"

"Your so-called national policy of making great efforts to govern the country and enrich the people, can your younger brother do it?" the Empress Dowager asked again.

Can Lao Qi do it? He can, and he is even more suitable than himself to do it, because he has no distractions. When he was the regent, he was dedicated to the people, and he didn't think much about power.

Even, he was never afraid of others threatening his position.

"Since you know he can do what you have always wanted to do, why do you keep suppressing him? Or are you always attached to the throne?"

"No!" The emperor denied it all, and said suddenly: "I have never missed the throne in my heart. I have not forgotten the original intention when I became the throne. If the country can be prosperous and strong, I don't care about my life. But now I can't die. There's still a lot to do."

"Everyone has a lot of things that they can't finish. This life is too short, and the thoughts are too long, too few and far away. How can we finish it? If everyone is as unwilling as you, what should we do? None of them can do it. Grandpa."

"Zhen..." The emperor was flustered for a moment, but soon found his tone again, "I only ask my ancestors this time, if I can get better, I will definitely fulfill the heavy oath I made back then."

The Empress Dowager sighed softly, "Okay, the Ai family will ask you again, if the Ai family cures you, are you willing to abdicate?"

The emperor's lips trembled a few times, he raised his gray eyes, and looked at the empress dowager fixedly, "Why did the ancestors insist on my choice?"

"You can't be greedy in life. If you want to live a long life, you have to give up some things."

The empress dowager said toughly.

He pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing!"

"Okay, now you issue an imperial edict to Lao Qi!" the Empress Dowager said.

The emperor shook his head, "Don't the ancestors believe me?"

"Yes!" The Empress Dowager nodded slowly, her eyes were like sharp swords, almost piercing the depths of the emperor's heart, and all his thoughts were invisible.

She stood up, "You go back first, think about it carefully, if you can give up the throne, the Ai family will save you, the Ai family cannot interfere with the emperor's life, but if you are not an emperor, then the Ai family will be easy to do."

The emperor smiled miserably, "Sure enough, in the hearts of our ancestors, Lao Qi is much more important than me."

The Empress Dowager said sharply: "Emperor, many things are not up to you, the world does not revolve around you alone, do you understand? And no matter who, even the mourners, can't have both, Since you want to live a long life, you have to give up something, go back, Aijia doesn't want to get angry at you, and doesn't want to bother with you about those stupid things you did, otherwise, Aijia won't be able to stay for a quarter of an hour."

The emperor stood up, trembling and almost unable to stand upright, "Old ancestor, I can abdicate, but the candidate for the emperor cannot be the seventh."

"Then tell me, besides him, who else can be the emperor!" The Empress Dowager snapped.

"Ah Xin!" He thought for a while, Ah Xin can't do it, Ah Xin and Lao Qi have a very good relationship, and Ah Xin doesn't want to be emperor at all, this throne is also handed over to others, "Saner, Saner, you can be emperor."

Yes, San'er, San'er is fine. Although he handed over the throne, he is not dead yet, he can live a long life, and he can be the Supreme Emperor. Nothing has changed.

"You go back first, Ai's family will consider it!" The Empress Dowager said coldly.

Aunt Ah Snake opened the door, called someone in, and helped the emperor leave.

The emperor looked at the empress dowager sadly, and said sadly: "Old ancestor, can't you pity me?"

The Empress Dowager turned her face away and looked indifferent, but her heart was in unbearable pain, and she hadn't felt this way for many years.

The emperor finally left depressed!
