......
"Emperor, Marquis Xiling, has rebelled."
"Emperor, the Marquis of Xichang has also rebelled."
"emperor......"
News of one rebellion after another among the princes reached Emperor Di's ears.
"It's not up to me."
Emperor Uncle stood at the foot of the wall of emperors and sighed deeply.
Emperor Bo turned his head and looked at the soldier who was reporting.
Emperor Qi still has loyal followers, and this soldier is one of them.
Emperor Bo placed his hand on the soldier's shoulder, a glint of tears in his young eyes.
The world did not give him the opportunity to realize his ambitions.
Because he is the son of Emperor Qi.
The whole world is in rebellion, and I have no relatives to turn to.
Emperor Bo spoke softly.
"Tell them, why bother rebelling? I'll just burn myself to death."
"Rebellion wastes money and manpower, and only harms the people."
"There's no need for so many people to die just for someone like me."
“It’s not worth it.”
After saying this, Emperor Bo left the palace and came to a high platform.
The platform was wrapped with piles of hay and sprinkled with oil.
He had built this platform some time ago.
At this moment, the stage was already surrounded by people.
"You don't want me to be the emperor because I am Qi's son."
Emperor Uncle walked up to the platform, opened his arms, and spoke to the people gathered below.
“I have ambitions in my heart that no one has ever heard.”
"I have seen the sufferings of the world, and I have seen people toiling away for a bowl of rice or a meal of meat."
"I thought about changing all this and making everyone rich."
"But I don't have this opportunity."
"That's fine, because I'm Qi's son, and no one dares to take the risk."
"The world can do without the Emperor, but it cannot do without the world."
"After today, you will have a new king, but it will not be me."
After saying this, Emperor Bo smiled with relief and blew away the sparks on the fire starter in his hand.
Then, he casually threw it downwards.
In an instant, a raging fire broke out under the platform.
Endless thick smoke surrounded Emperor Bo.
Emperor Uncle opened his arms, welcoming the caress of the smoke.
He is undoubtedly a man with a benevolent heart.
The loyal troops left behind by Di Qi were enough for him to struggle for some time.
At the very least, it can at least inflict some damage on the rebellious princes.
But without any hesitation, he chose to self-immolate.
In his own words.
It's not worth it for so many people to die because of a person like him.
Since the world wants a new king, let's give it to them.
After his death, another virtuous and capable person will be appointed as emperor.
Bo's actions caused an uproar among the onlookers.
The people discussed why Bo chose to commit suicide.
\"Bo committed suicide?\"
"He set himself on fire."
"Hiss, how dare he?"
"Why are you afraid? Isn't this what everyone wants?"
“…”
"No one wanted to give Bo a chance to survive from the beginning."
"No one cares what Bo thinks."
"After all, he is Qi's son."
"Yes, he is Qi's son."
"Tell me, if Bo continues to be the emperor, will he lead us to a better life?"
"He's actually quite nice."
People talked about Bo's life.
But no one tried to rescue Bo.
Before the flames reached the platform, people had already sentenced Bo to death.
Emperor Qi's ambition, which had not yet begun, was ended by his own son, Bo.
With his own life.
