Chapter 723 The Regent Refuses to Be Stupid (7)
"Since ancient times, regents have either plotted to usurp the throne and soar into the sky, or they have had their heads separated and died without a burial place. I know that when we reach this point, there is no way out."
Ning Xiao said, seeing that all the confidants couldn't sit still and wanted to say something, he stretched out his hand and pressed it down to signal them to calm down.
Standing up, Ning Xiao smiled slightly and said in a loud voice: "I have no choice but to stand in this position and cannot be free, but you still have a chance."
"Now that the new emperor is young and ignorant, if you all sever your relationship with me and join a legitimate emperor, plan carefully and be cautious, you may not be able to achieve a happy ending."
"It's not that I have never thought of ascending the throne directly and taking you all up with me to repay you for your years of following me and live up to your trust."
"But after thinking about everything in the past, I have failed my brother's trust. I feel guilty for this. I have no shame to sit on the dragon throne and be worshiped by hundreds of officials. And I..."
Ning Xiao paused for a moment, which aroused the appetite of all his confidants. When everyone could not hide their curiosity, he said: "Now that I can no longer walk in the world and can't give birth to a son, what will happen even if I sit on the throne?"
"..." Zhang Yue and others opened their mouths wide, mother, what did they hear?
The atmosphere suddenly froze, time seemed to have stopped, people were numb, breathing was almost silent, and it was as if a pin dropped in the hall could wake people up.
Compared to everyone who was shocked by the new manifestations of the distorted facial features, Ning Xiao was much more present. He stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes empty, as if he was waiting for everyone to make a choice.
After a long time, Zhang Yue was the first to react. Thinking of the interaction he observed between Ning Xiao and Ning Duoer, he coughed lightly and said, "Actually, the Empress is not incompetent."
"..." Everyone couldn't help but open their eyes and look at Zhang Yue who didn't look like he was joking. After thinking about it carefully, uh, the problem is easily solved.
So what if the regent cannot have a son? Doesn't there be a ready-made princess who has already established herself?
At Ning Duoer's age, she may not be too old, but she may not be too young, but starting to train her from now on and gathering all the efforts, it may not be impossible to cultivate an excellent emperor for Qi.
Therefore, the regent can still take on this throne, and because he cannot be reborn and is only related by one bloodline, there will be no fight between the old emperor and the young prince to avoid shaking the country.
When Ning Xiao abdicates the throne and Ning Duo'er ascends the throne, these old men will naturally retire after their achievements, make way for future generations, and find a good death.
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that Zhang Yue had come up with a good idea. Feeling the admiration of everyone, Zhang Yue was inevitably proud, so people should be more open-minded.
Ning Xiao looked at these people dumbfounded and looked like "that's it", a little suspicious that he had gone to the wrong set.
No, the last mission world was okay. At least there was a female emperor in the history of Xuan Kingdom, so Tianxing’s ascension to the throne would not be so hindered. But in this mission world, Qi Kingdom has never had a female emperor.
Moreover, in the Qi State, men have always been superior to women. Although the status of women is not as low as dust, they are still in a position of oppression. How come Zhang Yue and the others can easily accept the strategy of supporting Ning Duo'er to ascend to the throne?
Could it be that he was trying to create a puppet empress to imitate the original queen and control the government?
Zhang Yue and others noticed the silence of the regent, and Zhang Yue said: "We choose to accept all this for the prince. After all, we trust the prince more than before!"
Seeing the light in the eyes of these civil servants and generals, Ning Xiao couldn't help but smile, tapped his chin, and said nothing.
Thinking about it again, Ning Xiao couldn't help but secretly sigh that he was so confused. He had such loyal subordinates, a wife who was reasonable and affectionate as the sea, and a well-behaved and smart daughter, but he didn't know how to cherish it.
Even if it were to happen again, he would still have to sacrifice everything for Lian Qing and his mother. No wonder he would be thrown into reincarnation by Little Tiandao.
Ning Xiao summoned these people to discuss the future affairs. He would not just make one plan. Cutting off contact with them and dividing them was the worst plan.
Since they were so loyal and considerate of him, he would definitely not let them down. Therefore, Ning Xiao came up with another plan, "Since you gentlemen are willing to let go and accept women as emperors, why don't you let go a little more?"
?”
Zhang Yue frowned, exchanged glances with everyone for a while, and asked tentatively: "I wonder what the prince means?"
Ning Xiao smiled and led everyone into the side hall. There was a sand table and a very wide-ranging map in the side hall, and even the general outline of the other side of the sea was drawn.
When everyone took a look, they were all shocked. When did the prince get it? But this is not the point. The point is what the prince wants to do?
"I once sent people to explore everywhere and went through many difficulties and dangers before drawing such a map. Looking at it, I suddenly realized that Qi State is so small."
"The heaven and earth are so vast, and there is a place for shelter everywhere. If you have the courage and are willing to give it a try, I will no longer resist the throne."
"But if you want to be an emperor who conquered the country single-handedly, wouldn't it be more beautiful to be the founding father than to serve the dragon? So, why bother to stick to Qi?"
As Ning Xiao spoke, he put the two fingers of his right hand together and placed them on the map. When everyone looked over, they saw the vast sky overseas. Taking a closer look at his words, Zhang Yue and others couldn't control themselves. They were breathing rapidly and could faint at any time.
I didn't expect that the prince would be so ambitious and look at the world. In comparison, they who were willing to support the empress to ascend to the throne were much stingy.
"The world is not easy to fight, and there are many dangers. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. I don't want to force you. I want to stay in Qi and stay safe. Once you leave here, you will no longer be my king's people."
"I will not be stingy and suppress those who leave. I will only get together and part ways, and hope that everyone will be well. And I will cherish those who are willing to go to sea to build a country and live up to their trust!"
After Ning Xiao said that, he left for the time being, leaving everyone to consider carefully. The traitor system showed up and said: "Are you blocking the escape route of the heroine and those male protagonists in advance?"
"This is called closing the door and beating the dog!" Ning Xiao was confident, his eyebrows were flying, and the traitor system was speechless for a while, pretending to be struck by lightning.
Not long after, Zhang Yue and others, who were in a surging mood, made a decision. A small number of them did not want to drag their families and leave their hometowns. They just wanted to stay in Qi State and separate from Ning Xiao.
Most of them are ambitious and ready to build a brighter future. So what if they are far away from their homeland and lose everything? They can afford the gamble!
Ning Xiao sent away those who did not want to go to sea, and then looked at Zhang Yue and others' ambitions. He chuckled, bowed and saluted: "I would like to thank you for your trust!"
"We are willing to follow the prince and live and die!" Zhang Yue and others returned the greeting. When they raised their heads again, their eyes were shining with dazzling light.
Qi State has opened up the sea for many years, and it is time to go to farther places and take a look.
After that, Ning Duoer's life was difficult. The original schoolwork arrangement was easy, and she didn't have to study anything. She could just spend an hour every day to finish her homework and have fun.
But suddenly, her course schedule was full. She had to get up before dawn in the morning and squat on horseback. At night, the stars had rested, but she still had to endorse books.
Ning Duoer was so tired that she had no temper at all. Although she suspected that her father was deliberately tormenting her, it wasn't a bad thing to learn more, so she endured it.
Shu Xiangyu didn't understand why Ning Xiao was so harsh to Ning Duoer. Although she knew that it was good for women to learn more about being close to each other, she was so urgent, as if something was about to happen.
