Chapter 453 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 64
After receiving the abdication edict, Ling Xi took the edict to see Zhou Shengchen.

As a vassal king of the Northern Chen royal family, Zhou Shengchen has great deterrent power among the vassal kings of Northern Chen.

Therefore, if one wants to suppress those vassal kings, in addition to this abdication edict, Zhou Shengchen's support is also needed.

Among the aristocratic families, the Yu family has already come forward, so among the princes, except Zhou Shengchen, no one else can convince others.

Now that they, Nan Xiao, have just captured the capital of Northern Chen, what they need to do is to try their best to suppress the vassal kings of Northern Chen who are ready to make moves.

Suppress them first, and wait until they have further and thoroughly controlled Northern Chen, which will be a good time to take action against them.

Otherwise, if the situation is unstable and the vassal kings rebel, there is a high probability of a major turmoil.

Of course, if Zhou Shengchen’s intimidation is not enough for them, my brother has already thought of a second method.

Ling Xi stopped outside the palace where Zhou Shengchen was imprisoned.

She looked at the three big words "Xianyang Palace" on the palace, calmed herself down, and then walked in resolutely.

Pei Qin came with Ling Xi, but he consciously did not follow him in. Instead, he stood outside the palace door, looking worriedly at Ling Xi's back as he walked in.

He knew how the princess felt about the young King of Nanchen, and he didn't know whether the young King of Nanchen would speak ill of the princess.

Remember, bad words from people you care about are the most hurtful.

The door was opened, Zhou Shengchen raised his head from the book and looked at the person who came.

When he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, his dark eyes paused and gradually became deep and dark.

Ling Xi held the abdication edict written by Liu Hui in his hand, walked up to Zhou Shengchen, and handed the yellow cloth to Zhou Shengchen.

"Take a look. This is the abdication edict written by Liu Hui."

Ling Xi sat down opposite Zhou Shengchen, his attitude and tone were very cold, which made Zhou Shengchen's heart skip a beat and he thought of something bad.

Could it be that Ling Xi really wanted to cut off ties with him and never have any contact with him again?
So does she have to follow her brother back to Nanxiao? Then one of them will be in Beichen and the other in Nanxiao. Will they never see each other again?
All kinds of complicated thoughts were entangled together, so Zhou Shengchen didn't care about what Ling Xi said at all.

Ling Xi didn't wait for Zhou Shengchen's answer and could only repeat himself: "This is the abdication edict written by Liu Hui, take a look."

When Zhou Shengchen heard this, he did not open the edict to read it.

Instead, ask: “What are you going to do with them?”

Ling Xi answered patiently: "Liu Hui was named the King of Freedom. He will live a carefree life from now on, and there will be no such things to disturb him anymore."

"As for Qi Zhenzhen, I have sent her to the White Horse Temple to be a nun. If she behaves well there, she can live in peace. But if anything is wrong, she will no longer have to live in this world. As for Liu Zixing, he is already dead."

And it was a miserable death, Ling Xi added in his heart.

Liu Zixing was fed poison by Ling Xi and given ginseng soup to keep him alive. In the end, he was killed in pain by her poison.

Ling Xi has always disliked Liu Zixing.

I don't like it for no reason. I hate it the first time I see it.

He was a man with dishonest thoughts, so Ling Xi would naturally not let him continue to live.

Plus, he wanted to kill Zhou Shengchen, so she would not let him have an easy time.

They fed him the strongest and most painful poison, and fearing that he would die, they fed him ginseng soup, just to keep him hanging on, so that he could endure the agony.

He only lasted two days before he was killed by the pain from her poison.

The poison Ling Xi used made the pain worse the longer it was taken. I didn't expect Liu Zixing to be so useless that he died in just two days.

She also felt that it was too easy for him to die.

Zhou Shengchen didn't care too much about Liu Zixing and Qi Zhenzhen. When he heard that Liu Hui was named King Xiaoyao, he knew that Ling Xi really intended to let him live the life of an ordinary person. He had no objection to this.

He wouldn't say he knows a lot about his nephew, but he has a basic understanding of him.

He may be suitable to be an ordinary person, but not suitable to be an emperor.

Zhou Shengchen knew that this arrangement was Ling Xi's idea. He looked at Ling Xi and said, "Thank you very much."

"You don't have to thank me. He is not a threat to you, and I won't be cruel enough to touch him."

Perhaps the atmosphere of the meeting was too awkward. After Zhou Shengchen and Ling Xi finished talking about these things, they looked at each other in silence.

The two people who never had a dull moment in the past now didn't know what to say.

Zhou Shengchen had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't know where to start.

Finally, he picked a topic that could be discussed: "Why did you decide to help Xiao Wen to seize Northern Chen? Was it just because he is your brother?"

"Not really."

To Zhou Shengchen's surprise, Ling Xi denied his words.

He listened to Ling Xi's calm analysis: "It's because he's my brother, but that's not all."

"Zhou Shengchen, now is a time of turmoil, with conflicts spreading everywhere, and the people are displaced and living in poverty. You and I have seen countless homeless people during our wars.

The Northern Chen Dynasty was faced with internal and external troubles, but those officials from aristocratic families only knew how to fight for power and profit. How many of them would truly care about the people?

The young emperor is weak in character and has no means that an emperor should have. Moreover, his power has been seized repeatedly, and he needs you, the uncle, to save him every time. Do you expect me to believe that such a person will be a good emperor?"

At this point, Zhou Shengchen heard Ling Xi sneer, and his laughter was full of sarcasm: "That's too ridiculous."

Glancing at Zhou Shengchen's changed expression and clenched hands, Ling Xi pretended not to see it and continued, "The troubled times need a decisive person to end it. Your Northern Chen Emperor is not that person, you are not that person, but my brother is different, he will be that person.

He is a man born to be an emperor. I hope he can end this chaotic world and bring peace and stability to the world, and not let the people suffer any more.

If you want to be the emperor of Northern Chen, I will help you, but you don't want to be the emperor, and you are not suitable to be the emperor. In fact, you are the protector of Northern Chen, so I have to do this."

After Ling Xi finished speaking, Zhou Shengchen didn't speak for a long time.

Ling Xi did not answer either.

In Ling Xi's heart, Zhou Shengchen is a very good person, who cares about the people, is considerate of his subordinates, and serves the country and the people. He is perfect and has almost no flaws.

He was loyal to the Northern Chen royal family and did his best to maintain the rule of Northern Chen.

But he doesn't seem to understand that the final decision on the good or bad of a country lies with those in power who hold the highest authority.

No matter how well he, the little King of Nanchen, does, if the little emperor who holds power is incompetent, then Northern Chen will never be able to have a complete rebirth.

It was also impossible for the people of Northern Chen to completely escape from a life of displacement.

Therefore, this is why Ling Xi took great pains to help Xiao Wen completely control the power of Nan Xiao.

An emperor cannot have weaknesses that can be exploited by others.

Similarly, the emperor is the master of this country, and everything should belong to him.
