Princess Medical Doctor

Chapter 980: Throne, don’t want it

At midnight the next day, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu appeared at the city gate in a carriage. The Emperor, who was dressed in white, had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time together with all the civil and military officials. When he saw Xiao Tianyao's carriage appearing, the Emperor did not put on any airs and stepped forward to greet it in person.

Of course, with Xiao Tianyao's status as a supreme martial god, he could accept this move, but Xiao Tianyao did not accept it directly. He had someone stop the carriage early, and then got off the carriage himself and walked over.

"We greet His Highness, Prince Xiao, may you live a thousand more years." The civil and military officials immediately knelt and paid respect. The sound resounded through the sky, which showed that they were really happy.

Before Xiao Tianyao left, he had already sorted out the East's government and opposition. Nine out of ten officials in the court were Xiao Tianyao's people. Even if Xiao Tianyao was far away in the Central Empire during this period, the officials in the court did not immediately fall to the Emperor's scheme but were loyal to him. Do their duty, do what they should do. Their attitude was better than before.

Now that Xiao Tianyao has returned safely from the Central Empire and has been promoted to supreme martial god, the officials were even less likely to have two minds. They even kneel in front of Xiao Tianyao immediately to express their determination and let him know how loyal they were.

"Tianyao!" The Emperor was dressed in plain clothes, dressed as a commoner, but he did not kneel. He stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands, and prepared to salute, but was stopped by Xiao Tianyao: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Xiao Tianyao did not hate the Emperor so much that he had to kill him, let alone humiliate him in public.

They were not just simply a monarch and minister, but also brothers. Although they don't have brotherhood, he will not kill his brothers.

What he wanted was to unify the world. What he wanted was to be a wise king in a prosperous age, not a tyrant or crippled king who was cruel.

Just as Lin Chujiu said, people in their position, the more they wanted to do something, the less they could do as they pleased. No matter what, they must look good on the surface and cannot make mistakes.

Anyway, based on their status, if they want to punish someone, they don’t need to ask. Of course, there will be people with insight who will help them do it.

"Tianyao, I know I am too stupid to take on a big responsibility. The East will only improve if it is handed over to you. Today, I will abdicate in front of all the civil and military officials and give up the throne to you." When the Emperor said it, his heart was bleeding, but he had to say it.

Xiao Tianyao was not in the East, so he could control the government. He was the emperor, but he was most like a decoration. During this period, while Xiao Tianyao was away, he spent a lot of effort to recruit several courtiers, but they were ambiguous and did not dare to show clear support for him.

All the power in the army was controlled by Xiao Tianyao's people. As an Emperor, he cannot even place a single person in the Ministry of War, let alone mobilize troops.

Xiao Tianyao was not in the East, but he, the Emperor, was just like a decoration. Now that Xiao Tianyao has come back and making a strong sensation, what use does he have as an Emperor?

After hearing this, Xiao Tianyao smiled coldly: "Brother, you're making me scared. I have no intention of doing so." He indeed has no intention of becoming Emperor of the East. The little East cannot satisfy him.

"Tianyao, I am serious. The East can only prosper if it is left in your hands." Although he was unhappy in his heart, the Emperor also knew that he had no choice but to bow his head.

Xiao Tianyao’s popularity was unmatched. He has some connections with the Central Empire and vaguely knows what happened in the Central Empire and what Xiao Tianyao has done in the Central Empire.

Xiao Tianyao doesn't take the Central Empire seriously, and even the Emperor of the Central Empire can't do anything to him. So what he, the Emperor of a small country, can he do to Xiao Tianyao?

Xiao Tianyao was too strong, so strong that he didn’t even dare to be Xiao Tianyao’s enemy, let alone fight with him.

So he took the initiative to hand over the throne. It would be better if he left him alone. If he waits for Xiao Tianyao to take action to snatch the throne, he might not even know how he died.

Xiao Tianyao shook his head, bent down slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother Emperor, I am also serious, I don't want the throne… I don't want it." Xiao Tianyao held the Emperor's hand with a very casual movement, but the Emperor was unable to move and could only stand stiffly in front of Xiao Tianyao.

"No?" The Emperor was stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Brother, I understand." He originally thought he understood Xiao Tianyao and knew Xiao Tianyao's ambition, but today he realized that he didn't understand Xiao Tianyao at all, and he had never clearly seen Xiao Tianyao's ambition.

Everything he did against Xiao Tianyao was probably just a joke in Xiao Tianyao's eyes, right?

After all, Xiao Tianyao never thought of competing with him for the throne.

“Brother Emperor, it’s getting late, let’s go back." Seeing that the Emperor understood what he meant, Xiao Tianyao let go and took a step back.

Suddenly losing support, the Emperor almost fell. Fortunately, Xiao Tianyao reached out to help him again: "Brother Emperor, your health is not good, so you should pay more attention."

How many years can the Emperor live with a body like this?

Does he need to bear the crime of forcing his brother to abdicate?

The Emperor underestimated him.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the city." The Emperor was so shocked that he lost his mind when he heard Xiao Tianyao's words. He opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what he was saying. Anyway, Xiao Tianyao didn't mind.

Seeing that the expected abdication did not happen, all the civil and military officials were stunned.

When the Emperor talked to Xiao Tianyao, they knelt behind them and did not dare to move. They did not hear what the brothers said. They wanted to ask questions, but they saw that the Emperor was in a daze, and Prince Xiao looked indifferent. No one dares to ask, so…

The abdication of the throne, which had been prepared for a long time and with great attention, just ended.

The civil and military officials were stunned in place while looking at the Emperor and the carriage from Xiao Wangfu that was slowly entering the city. Then they looked at each other.

They have prepared a brand new imperial courtyard built by three thousand craftsmen who have been busy for a month. Now it seems that it was of no use!

"This, what is going on? Didn't the Emperor say that he would abdicate the throne today?"

“I’ve even written the edict, why he didn't mention this…?”

“Did the Emperor regret it? That shouldn’t be the case. The Emperor himself took the initiative to mention the matter of abdicating the throne in favor of a worthy person. How could he possibly regret it temporarily?”

“Or maybe Prince Xiao refused? But why would he refuse? Didn’t we agree at the time that we would work on the surface until Prince Xiao agreed to succeed? Is the Emperor unwilling?”

The ministers became angrier and angrier as they talked, and their dissatisfaction with the Emperor reached an unprecedented height.

Doesn’t the Emperor know that the East will become stronger and stronger only if he handed over the throne to Prince Xiao?

Prince Xiao was a supreme martial god. If he sits on the throne, even the Central Empire can't give them a hard time!

“No, we have to continue to push this matter, we can’t just let it go.”

All the ministers looked at each other and nodded in unison, determined to urge the Emperor to abdicate as soon as possible so that Prince Xiao could ascend the throne. Not even realizing that Prince Xiao ignored them after entering the city……..
