Chapter 300: Chapter 132: Want to leave after robbing my stuff? Crush and kill the Ancient Heaven!_3
The Heavenly Emperor of Yuan blamed no one for the matter at hand.
He blamed only himself for not being able to restrain his own Crown Prince!
"The emperor has taken note of this matter. Everyone should retire now," he said.
"Prime Minister, stay."
With that thought, the Heavenly Emperor made a decision and addressed the officials below him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, we take leave now."
At the words of the Heavenly Emperor, the atmosphere in the hall immediately loosened.
Then, a line of officials walked out of the hall one after another.
Walking, they could still hear their whispers.
"God, that was terrifying. I thought His Majesty was going to explode."
"I was incredibly nervous when the Prime Minister said those words. I was afraid that if His Majesty was unhappy, he would have us all beheaded."
"Tell me about it, I didn’t even dare to speak..."
"It’s a pity though, the step the Crown Prince took was a losing move."
"Indeed. The whole kingdom watched the birth of the Crown Prince."
"The Emperor was so happy that he granted amnesty to the whole world."
"I heard that our ancestors were so surprised by the birth of the Crown Prince that they willingly became his Dao protectors."
"The Crown Prince worked hard. Since birth, he has cultivated tirelessly. His abilities grew at a rapid pace."
"In the Daoist Master Realm, he even progressed to a new level every day."
"Thirty years as a giant!"
"He’s been particularly terrifying in the last few days."
"Who knows where the Crown Prince got two True King Bones of the Demon Path and fused them into his body."
"Now, he has already condensed an enormous number of False Heavenly Venerates in the Dao Palace."
"A False Heavenly Venerate at just under 100, truly unprecedented!"
"With such talents, he is no less than the former Emperor!"
"As long as he doesn’t fall, he could at least become a reincarnated saint in the future."
"Even ascension is possible!"
"Originally, everything was going splendidly."
"Yet..."
"Sigh!"
"He could have messed with anyone, why did he have to mess with him?"
"This might be a great calamity for our Yuan dynasty."
"Indeed."
"It depends on the decision of the Emperor."
"We can only hope that the Emperor can make the right decision between the Crown Prince and the dynasty."
"Yes, it depends on the Emperor’s decision."
"If he makes a good decision, perhaps our Yuan dynasty will still have a glimmer of hope."
"If he makes the wrong decision, I’m afraid today will mark the end of our Yuan dynasty."
"......"
After the officials had left, the Heavenly Emperor helped the elder kneeling on the ground to stand up.
"Xuande, it’s just us now."
"Can you share your true thoughts with me?" He asked.
In response to the Heavenly Emperor’s question, the old minister shook his head, sighed, and said:
"Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but Emperor Song of Rebirth Hall has always been formidable."
"He is already the lord of a realm, powerful and dominant."
"Even if only the limitless Netherworld is dispatched, our Yuan dynasty will not be able to hold against it."
"Even if our ancestor himself intervenes, it will not help."
"Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to give priority to the overall situation and hand over Crown Prince Chao Ge."
"Give them a generous gift to dissolve this karma."
"In this way, our Imperial Dynasty could maintain peace and tranquility in this life."
"Otherwise, it will be difficult."
The voice of the old minister grew increasingly somber with each word, the grief in his tone thickening.
As he continued to speak, his body seemed to grow older with each passing word.
By the time he finished, tears had filled the old minister’s eyes.
The eunuchs by his side were moved by his words.
Upon reflection, they realized that this old minister was the tutor of the Crown Prince.
The Heavenly Emperor entrusted him with the education of the Crown Prince upon his birth.
In daily life, the old minister’s affection for the Crown Prince was an open secret.
When the Crown Prince successfully merged the True King foundation and broke through the False Heavenly Venerate, the happiest person was him.
But now, he had to bear the consequences of karma.
Even he, the one who had raised him, was urging the Emperor to dispose of the Crown Prince.
The Heavenly Emperor was visibly moved. A momentary flicker of resolve flashed in his eyes.
He asked gravely,
"Xuande, is there really no other way?"
The old minister nodded. "Your Majesty, there is no way to ensure the continuity of our Yuan dynasty if we do not do so!"
"Moreover, Chao Ge is the Crown Prince of our Yuan dynasty."
"To make sacrifices for the Yuan dynasty is his destiny! Please prioritize the dynasty, Your Majesty."
"I believe the Crown Prince will not resent you for it."
The old minister’s words were resolute and powerful.
They shattered the final bit of resistance in the Emperor’s heart.
Is there really no other way?
Looking at the determined old minister, the last bit of hope inside the Heavenly Emperor’s heart crumbled.
He knows that handing over the Crown Prince is the most prudent option.
But after all, the Crown Prince is his most outstanding son.
So, although the Heavenly Emperor had thought about giving the Crown Prince to pacify Emperor Song’s fury,
However, as a father, he was also principled.
Therefore, he convened this court meeting.
Although he said he wanted the ministers to discuss affairs, he really just wanted them to make a decision for him.
The Heavenly Emperor seemed to age decades in mere moments, a sense of senility emanating from him.
