Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing the old man's sarcastic voice in the main hall, Pei Wenfu's face instantly darkened.

How could he not realize that the old man was being sarcastic or mocking?

Pei Wenfu glanced at the old man, then coldly asked, "I wonder if Minister Pei has any good solutions?"

Pei Nian said without changing his expression, "The Great Xia Dynasty came with great force and occupied the Biyun Star Region in such a short time. It is obvious that they are aiming to destroy the country."

"Even if His Majesty proposes peace, the other side will not agree. We should abandon our illusions instead of thinking of compromising again like we did when we bowed down to the Qingyun Dynasty."

Pei Nian was a member of Pei Shuhua's faction and also belonged to the imperial clan. After Pei Shuhua's usurpation failed, Pei Wenfu purged a large number of people associated with Pei Shuhua, but some were still spared.

Most of the imperial clan members were on Pei Shuhua's side. If they had all been purged back then, the imperial clan would have been completely wiped out.

It was precisely because Pei Wenfu left behind some members of the imperial clan that these members would occasionally jump out and harass him, which greatly annoyed Pei Wenfu.

He has killed countless members of the royal family, yet people still keep coming out to disgust him. He just doesn't understand how these people can be so fearless of death.

Seeing Pei Wenfu's extremely gloomy face, the garrison commander who had been rebuked by Pei Nian earlier quickly said, "Pei Nian, what do you mean by that? You are questioning His Majesty's authority!"

"If His Majesty hadn't been merciful and spared you back then, you would be dead long ago. How dare you spout such nonsense here!"

"You know that the Great Xia Dynasty is powerful, yet you still want the Crimson Moon Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty to clash head-on. What exactly are you up to!"

At this point, the garrison commander bowed to Pei Wenfu on the dragon throne and said, "Your Majesty, Pei Nian harbors treacherous intentions. I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate Pei Nian!"

As soon as the garrison commander finished speaking, many ministers in the hall echoed, "We implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate Pei Nian!"

Pei Nian looked at the garrison commander indifferently, completely disregarding his impeachment.

Pei Wenfu glanced at Pei Nian and said expressionlessly, "Minister Pei, your time is coming to an end. You should stay home and enjoy your retirement. You don't need to worry about state affairs."

Upon hearing this, Pei Nian did not press the matter further and simply said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. This old minister will take his leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Nian turned around and left the main hall.

Seeing that even the hardliner Pei Nian had left, the remaining ministers naturally understood what their emperor was thinking. Soon, Pei Wenfu reached a consensus with the ministers, and the Crimson Moon Dynasty submitted to the Great Xia Dynasty.

After the court assembly, some members of the imperial clan came to Pei Nian's residence. One of them asked with a bitter expression, "Uncle, what should we do now? His Majesty is already planning to submit to the Great Xia Dynasty."

Anyone with eyes can see that the Great Xia Dynasty was trying to destroy the Crimson Moon Dynasty, but that foolish emperor actually thought of selling out his country for personal gain.

Pei Nian sighed deeply, "The decision he made was something we could not control."

"He knows better than anyone what the Great Xia Dynasty wants to do. The so-called peace talks are just a way to use the dynasty's fortune as a bargaining chip to secure his throne."

One of the royal family members spoke up: "Once Your Majesty truly submits to the Great Xia Dynasty, the Red Moon Dynasty will completely lose the support of the people. Your Majesty's actions will only hasten the demise of the Red Moon Dynasty."

As members of the royal family, they could all sense that the fate of the Crimson Moon Dynasty was rapidly slipping away, and the people of the Crimson Moon Dynasty were becoming increasingly disappointed with the dynasty and the royal family.

Once disappointment turns into despair, and the Crimson Moon Dynasty completely loses the support of its people, its fortune will be easily taken away by other dynasties. Without its fortune, the Crimson Moon Dynasty will perish.

Although they knew that a dynasty without an emperor would have a hard time withstanding an attack from a power with an emperor, they did not want to see the Crimson Moon Dynasty perish.

Even if there is only a sliver of hope, they are willing to try. As members of the royal family, their fate is tied to that of the dynasty.

Once the Crimson Moon Dynasty falls, the dynasty's fortune will be gone, and their fortune will also quickly dissipate. Without fortune, even if the Pei clan survives, their future will become increasingly difficult.

This is why most dynasties, after their fall, did not have a good end for their descendants.

After a moment of contemplation, Pei Nian said, "No, we cannot allow His Majesty to succeed under any circumstances. I must personally go to the front lines to resist the invasion of the Great Xia!"

Since Pei Wenfu dared not wage war against the Great Xia Dynasty, then their royal family should step forward personally. Under no circumstances should they bow down to other dynasties again. They must unite the hearts and minds of the people of the Crimson Moon Dynasty and stabilize its imperial fortune.

Pei Nian thought to himself that since he had no chance of breaking through to the Great Emperor realm in this life and his time was coming to an end, even if he died, he would die on the battlefield.

In recent years, with the Qingyun Dynasty backing him up, he dared not openly oppose Pei Wenfu.

But now that even Feng Tengfei has run away, the Qingyun Dynasty obviously can't afford to offend the Great Xia Dynasty. Pei Wenfu has no one backing him anymore. So why should he be afraid of this little saint, Pei Wenfu?

Pei Nian then gathered a large number of members of the royal family and led troops to the front line overnight. They knew that they were probably no match for the Great Xia Dynasty, but they could not let Pei Wenfu's plan succeed. Even if they died, it didn't matter.

As long as these members of the royal family appear on the battlefield, so that the people of the Crimson Moon Dynasty can see them, so that those who are loyal to the Crimson Moon Dynasty can see them, then the hearts of the people of the Crimson Moon Dynasty will not be completely lost.

As long as the people's hearts remain, the dynasty's fortune will endure, and their descendants will continue to be blessed by the dynasty's fortune.

at the same time.

Azure Cloud Starfield.

The Flying Rainbow Immortal Ship floated silently above the Wind and Sea World. On the deck of the ship, Lu Chen glanced at the dozen or so quasi-emperors before him, then asked with a smile, "You dare to betray the Crimson Moon Dynasty? Aren't you afraid that the Moon Emperor will have the Azure Cloud Dynasty settle accounts with you?"

One of the quasi-emperors said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. If Pei Wenfu, the ruler of this dynasty, can surrender to another dynasty, then so can we."

"Your choice is very wise. I accept your loyalty. And coincidentally, I have someone I would like you to meet."

At this point, Lu Chen said to the person beside him, "Elder Pei, you can come out now."

As Lu Chen finished speaking, Pei Tianlu's figure slowly appeared.

Upon seeing that it was Pei Tianlu, the quasi-emperors present were immediately stunned.

Many of them were quasi-emperors who were personally trained by Pei Tianlu. After Pei Shuhua's failed attempt to seize power, Pei Wenfu banished them to the edge of the Crimson Moon Dynasty's star field.

They all thought Pei Tianlu was surely dead, but they never expected to see him again at this time.

Moreover, the death aura on Pei Tianlu's body had dissipated, clearly indicating that he had survived the ordeal.

A quasi-emperor asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is it really you? You're still alive?"

Seeing these quasi-emperors, Pei Tianlu felt a bit conflicted. After all, many of them were people he had trained, yet they had betrayed the Crimson Moon Dynasty. But then again, even he himself had betrayed the Crimson Moon Dynasty, so what reason did he have to blame these people?

Pei Tianlu sighed deeply and said, "I am sorry, the Crimson Moon Dynasty is sorry." (End of Chapter)
