The prince turned around and ran towards the harem. He had long wanted to give up being the prince, but he just couldn't give it up. Now that his father was no longer the emperor, he was naturally no longer the prince and no longer had to worry about those mundane affairs. He had to be strong, otherwise he would be a drag on his sister.
The prince ran but still felt that his speed was too slow, so he simply used his spiritual power and disappeared from the sight of his ministers in an instant.
The eager look startled the ministers. Is the position of crown prince so undesirable?
When they came back to their senses from the fact that the prince had run away quickly, they found that their emperor was holding the little princess in one hand and holding the old empress dowager's hand in the other. He was also arranging for the fifth prince and the sixth prince to help Tutor Wu up, and shouting for the Prime Minister, Lord Liao, Lord Su and others to go practice Taoism together.
He said that he would practice with Master Wu and let him live for another thousand years.
Upon seeing this, Rong Huan followed without even waiting for the emperor's call.
Liao Qing was stunned for a moment and then wanted to pull Su Shiyun to follow. It seemed that cultivating immortals was more exciting than being an official!
However, he found that he only caught a wisp of air, and Su Shiyun followed him without even a moment's hesitation.
Lord Dashu and Lord Xiaoshu also hurried to follow.
The adults who were kneeling and trying to force the emperor to send Wei Fu away and wanted the world to return to its state before spiritual energy appeared were suddenly dumbfounded.
Why do they have a feeling that the emperor has finally got what he wanted?
Someone immediately stood up and tried to persuade the emperor, but was stopped by some ministers. Someone said, "The emperor has gone mad and is obsessed with cultivating immortality. If that's the case, we should help him. Otherwise, he won't be able to be the emperor properly and will only bring greater harm to the Taisho era and the people."
The King of Qi also stepped forward and said, "My Lords, the Emperor has been completely led astray by my niece. He used to put the Great Right and the people first, but after what just happened in the capital, the Emperor won't allow anyone to criticize him. Even if he continues to rule, he will no longer be able to make any contribution to the Great Right or the court."
"My brother the Emperor probably knew this clearly, which is why he took the initiative to abdicate. My Lords, for now, it is better to choose an emperor to stabilize the court. Otherwise, chaos will not only fall on the capital, but also on the entire Taisho Dynasty."
The Second Prince, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince saw that their father's sons had run away without any care. The three brothers had just discussed whether to follow their father or go to help their eldest brother. After all, there were too many things to pack up, especially the private vaults of their father and the Empress Dowager, which had to be emptied. These things could not be given to others in vain.
Then they heard what the King of Qi said.
Just as the Fourth Prince Meng Yanchao was about to step out and confront them, he was stopped by the Second Prince Meng Yanxu. Meng Yanxu said, "There's no need to argue with them. What if they don't let us go?"
"Are you going to do chores for your father, become the crown prince, and take over the throne?"
Meng Yanchao quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. I didn't expect that Uncle Prince Qi would actually covet the throne."
The Third Prince, Meng Yanwei, hesitated and said, "But are we really going to ignore the people of Dazheng?"
"Didn't Fu'er say that we are blessed with the Purple Star Luck? If we stop being emperors, will this Purple Star Luck no longer be ours and will no longer be able to help us cultivate?"
Meng Yunxu thought for a moment and said, "If it's gone, it's gone. There are gains and losses. We can't always want all the benefits. The worst that can happen is that we can just work harder like ordinary people."
"As for the people of the world, if you, Third Brother, want to take charge, why don't I suggest that Father give you the position directly?"
Although he is no longer afraid of people, he still can't like people.
When he was in the abyss, his identity as a prince prevented people from bullying him, but he also heard many people secretly saying bad things about him behind his back.
Now that I am able to escape from the abyss, it is all thanks to my sister and the careful care of my family. It has nothing to do with the people in the world.
He did enjoy the glory of being a prince, but that was not given to him by the people of the world, but by his father's hard work.
He is not the kind of person who would take everything on himself and has a savior's heart.
He thinks it's good enough that he doesn't harm others.
Meng Yanwei shook his head: "I just think that Uncle Qi is not a good emperor."
Meng Yanchao laughed sarcastically: "Even my father can't be a good emperor, let alone someone like Uncle Qi who can only stir up trouble behind the scenes."
"He thought he had hidden his ambitions well, but in reality, Father had long seen through them. Originally, Father only wanted to keep Uncle Prince Qi around so he could wipe out all the corrupt officials in the court. But the behavior of the people in the capital this time has disappointed Father."
"Plus, Father might have really grown tired of being the emperor. He originally planned to pass the throne to my eldest brother early on, but my eldest brother went off to practice cultivation, so he couldn't pass it on."
"We're just ordinary people. The most important thing right now is to protect ourselves, become stronger, and try to help our younger sister. We also need to find a way to wake up our aunt. We didn't have a way before, but now we have one. Don't overthink it. We can't even protect our own family, so why worry about others?"
Meng Yanxu glanced at Meng Yanchao with appreciation: "Fourth brother is right."
Meng Yanwei: "..." He shouldn't have spoken.
He just raised a small doubt.
"Let's go quickly and try to leave the palace as soon as possible."
