Xiao Sheng was speechless for a long time.
He was silent for a long time before asking: "Can you let go of your power and status? Don't forget, when you really get to that point, you will be one person inferior to ten thousand people. Even if you want to be the regent, you will make me into a Puppet, that’s not difficult.”
Xiao Sheng has long been self-aware.
On the surface, he is the prince, the only bloodline of the royal family, but in fact, the Xiao family is not empty. Wei Yunting wants to rectify the country, and no one will be dissatisfied if he abandons him and helps the children of the Xiao family ascend to that position.
He was seriously injured at that time, and Wei Yunting asked Jiang Tian, who was still studying medicine, to treat him, which shows his true thoughts about him.
Xiao Sheng knew that he could be replaced. ?.?????.???
But Wei Yunting couldn't.
He held great power, had his own fiefdom, and had a large number of troops.
If he wanted to avoid chaos and live a life of freedom, that would be simple.
It was he who saw the suffering of the people all over the world and couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to join the war.
Xiao Sheng knew how much he weighed, and he knew even more clearly that Wei Yunting could easily reach the pinnacle of power.
After tasting the power, he actually planned to retire, just for Jiang Tian.
Xiao Sheng had unspeakable complexity in his heart.
Compared with his complexity, Wei Yunting is much more magnanimous: "For you, my retreat has only advantages and no disadvantages. For myself, in the first half of my life as a soldier, I tasted all the warmth and coldness of the world. I don't care about the power. I don’t want to live in vain, I just look forward to growing old with the one I love.”
As Wei Yunting spoke, he looked at Jiang Tian with a smile, and Jiang Tian also looked up at him.
The two looked at each other affectionately, and Xiao Sheng became a complete outsider.
He didn't say anything, just nodded hastily and left.
Let me ask, if Jiang Tian was given to him, would he be willing to give up his country just for one person?
Xiao Sheng didn't know.
After the conversation between the three of them, Xiao Sheng's temperament became more mature.
Not long after, bad news came from the capital.
The old emperor died.
After Xiao Sheng's "death", the capital was not at peace for a day.
All civil and military officials are planning for future generations and delineating interests to the greatest extent possible.
They quarreled every day and didn't care what happened to the old emperor.
No matter what he said, the old emperor still had the dignity of an emperor. He was even more angry when he learned that the candidate for the prince had nothing to do with his Xiao family.
He gave all the available manpower to Xiao Sheng. As a lonely man, no one cared about his thoughts.
In his early years, the old emperor was fond of alchemy and was addicted to women. After being ostracized, the situation became even worse.
One day, when he and the queen had a quarrel about the choice of the prince, he was so angry that he strangled the queen to death with a livid face, and he himself died.
Once he died, the capital became a mess.
None of the civil and military officials obeyed anyone, and the child of the queen's tribe was not welcomed by everyone.
What's more, there is no imperial edict, and everyone wants to support their children to ascend to that position and enjoy the support of the world.
When the news reached Wei Yunting, he looked at Xiao Sheng: "It seems that our plan has to be advanced."
Xiao Sheng did not expect that his father died so carelessly.
He knew in his heart that if he failed this time, his death would definitely be worse than that of his father.
However, he had no way out.
Xiao Sheng looked at Wei Yunting and nodded solemnly.
Not long after, Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng led hundreds of thousands of troops and marched towards the capital.
The old emperor died tragically, civil and military officials were arguing endlessly, and the people of the world were in dire straits. As the only bloodline of the emperor, Xiao Sheng rushed back to the capital to purge the imperial court, which was justified.
Only then did all the civil and military officials know that Xiao Sheng was not dead, but had fled to Wei Yunting.
Before the march, Wei Yunting killed all the spies sent by those people.
It was clear that he wanted to stand on the same side as Xiao Sheng.
Everyone in the capital was in panic for a while. Who didn't know the name Wei Yunting, the God of War?
The nobles of the aristocratic families also sat together again because of Xiao Sheng's "resurrection" to discuss how to resist Wei Yunting's army.
Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng joined forces to fight with them
