Chapter 1373: The Pitiful Nalan Zhangqian III
As soon as he said that, the other ministers fell to their knees in fear.
“Your Majesty, that won’t do!”
“This is the Feng family’s country, you mustn’t relinquish it.”
Feng Tianyu’s gaze turned cold as he looked down sharply at the ministers in front of him. “This is between me and the general, you lot shall have no say.”
Nalan Zhangqian was already stunned the moment he heard Feng Tianyu’s earlier words.
A moment had pa.s.sed before he regained his senses. He then rushed toward a guard, drew out the guard’s sword, and held it to his own neck.
“Feng Tianyu, you’re driving me over the edge! If you want to make me an emperor, I’ll just die! I’d rather die than take up this position! Don’t you try to force my hand! If you insist, just try and drag me from the depths of h.e.l.l, I dare you!”
This group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds had been suppressing him for a year and now, they wanted to throw the responsibility of sitting on the throne to him?
Hah!
How ridiculous! He, Nalan Zhangqian, had his own pride and would rather die than yield! Much less asking him to surrender to fate!
The other ministers were dumbstruck.
The throne was something that men would get blood on their hands fighting for, but for some reason, in General Nalan’s eyes, it was like a piping hot potato, he would rather die than take it.
If it were them… they might not have reacted in such a way.
The throne was just too desirable to resist.
Feng Tianyu had never expected that Nalan Zhangqian would be this determined. He was stunned. “Brother-in-law, I was just joking with you, really. Don’t be rash now, put down the sword…”
“Really?” Nalan Zhangqian stared at him with doubt in his eyes.
“Of course, it’s the truth.” Feng Tianyu laughed bitterly. “I actually don’t think much of it, so General Nalan, what I’m about to announce next would be related to why I want to relinquish the position to you. Even if you don’t want the throne, you can take care of it in my place and return it to me in the future.”
Nalan Zhangqian snorted. ‘This b.a.s.t.a.r.d just wants to tour the world and have fun with my sister, so dream on!’
After a few more days he would retire. He did not even want this general’s position anymore! He only wanted to take his wife and daughter on a trip, roaming the lands, and enjoying life.
As for his son…
What was a son? Who cares?
There was a helpless look on Feng Tianyu’s face. “The retired emperor is still alive.”
The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony instantly fell into a dead silence.
Even Nalan Zhangqian stopped making a fuss. The sword slid from his hand and fell onto the ground as a clear and crisp sound resonated in the quiet hall…
“The retired emperor is still alive!”
Shocked expressions appeared on the ministers’ faces. They were unable to regain their senses for the longest time.
There were two legends in Liu Yun Kingdom.
One was Empress Nalan, and the other, the retired emperor, Feng Wuhui!
With the existence of these two people, no one dared to invade Liu Yun Kingdom. After the retired emperor pa.s.sed, Empress Nalan had taken over his responsibility to protect this country.
The funeral of the retired emperor had been monumental back then. Even the mausoleum was still existing, but now His Majesty was telling them that the retired emperor was still alive!
“All these years, I have never dared to let slip the news that the retired emperor was still alive and well. He has too many enemies, the number is so great that they could overturn Liu Yun Kingdom in an instant! But now, I have nothing more to fear! I want to let it be known that my father is an unparalleled hero.
“Back then, the people of the reclusive world had murdered our subjects. My father was enraged and had rushed into the reclusive world on his own to force the reclusive world into a contract!
“He is a hero who has fought for his country and his people. He is the person I respect the most! General Nalan, I wanted you to take the throne because I need to find the retired emperor! He is not only the retired emperor of Liu Yun Kingdom but also my father. As a son, I would naturally want to search for him. How could I have thrown all of this to you if it were inevitable? In your eyes, am I really such an irresponsible emperor?”
