The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 1024 Surrender the throne and you are nothing
Mo Yan paused, then looked up at him: "Father, this is different."

"What's the difference?"

"If this is His Majesty's will, as long as I don't want to be a rebel, I must obey His Majesty's order."

"Because if I don't agree, and His Majesty insists on cutting the feudal clan, Your Majesty and I will stand on opposite sides, and in such a confrontation, the status quo of all kings, sages, ministers and virtuous people will be broken, and Your Majesty and I will eventually turn against each other."

Mo Yan paused: "...Or, King Xuanwu and the emperor of Dayan will turn against each other."

The old prince smiled: "So this matter depends on your majesty's attitude. If your majesty's attitude is firm, you have no choice, but if your majesty doesn't have this intention, you don't have to take the initiative to hand over the throne."

Mo Yan frowned: "But Si Zhuoyuan..."

"Isn't it good to be a prince who looks down on all the officials? If you don't have the throne, you need to bow your head to all the royal family, or if your official position is lower, you also need to bow your head to your superiors. That sounds good, how many people can do it?"

"But it's different if you are King Xuanwu. You just need to bow your head to Her Majesty the Queen. You are on an equal footing with other royal families, and because you have fiefs and military power in your hands, your status may be a little higher than theirs, so Even in the imperial capital, it is they who curry favor with you, not you to curry favor with them."

The old prince looked at him leisurely, and said unhurriedly: "This is reality, you have to admit it whether you want it or not, there are not so many ideals and passions in the adult world, even if you don't want to admit it, But that's the truth, surrender the throne and you're nothing."

"You are no longer the supreme king of the northern border. You can't take it for granted that so many people bow down to you, you can't easily mobilize the army, and you can't fight anyone you want. Your son can't inherit For your title, if you want to be an official, you have to take the imperial examinations without any privileges, your wife will not be a princess, if she goes to the palace for a banquet in the future, she even needs to see the face of a little concubine."

The more he said, the more Mo Yan frowned.

"Mo Yan, you must understand that the throne of the four kings is a favor bestowed by the emperor. It is an honor that the four kings have received because of their loyalty and loyalty to the emperor for generations. This is a privilege bestowed by the emperor, but even if there is no such honor , you still need to be loyal to the emperor."

"Since that's the case, why don't you accept such a right? Your Majesty didn't even propose to cut down the feudal clan, but you are thinking of her."

Mo Yan frowned, and when he was about to speak, he heard his father say: "...No matter why the Azure Dragon King forced him to make such a decision, but you are not him, although the four kings advance and retreat together, it does not mean that You need to make the same choice in this matter."

Mo Yan frowned tightly: "So father doesn't agree with me surrendering the throne?"

The old prince stared at him: "I've said so much, isn't it obvious?"

Mo Yan didn't speak.

"I passed on the throne to you. Could it be that the throne of King Xuanwu was cut off to pass on to your generation? Mo Yan, when the time comes, where will you have the face to meet the ancestors of the Mo family?"

Mo Yan was noncommittal, although he felt that it was unnecessary for his father to regard the throne as important as the inheritance of the Mohist family, but he also admitted that what his father said was reasonable, the throne of King Xuanwu equaled countless privileges, and he didn't need to hand it over foolishly .
