825 - This opportunity won't come again.
Moreover, without the cultivation of a Martial Emperor, even with the support of several people, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold onto this position!
At that time, it would be like a three-year-old child in the State of Qi sitting on the throne, with ministers assisting him on both sides. He probably wouldn't be as carefree as he is now. Moreover, he would be busy with affairs every day, and it would probably be impossible for him to advance further.
Moreover, it has been said that a person in a high position should not be over a hundred years old. Although many people scoff at this saying, many dynasties are somewhat similar. One should not be over a hundred years old, because being over a hundred years old is a disaster.
The Martial Emperor is said to live for a thousand years, but after breaking through to the Martial Sovereign level, I felt my blood and qi were like a furnace, incredibly vigorous, and I could live for a very long time. The Martial Sovereign level is within my reach, so why am I in such a dangerous situation now?
As he pondered, the Second Prince shook his head slightly and smiled faintly.
Both Butler Shang and General Lou were slightly taken aback, seemingly lost in thought!
The second prince's eyes were resolute, flashing with a sharp light, as he asked softly, "How has Aunt been doing these past few days?"
The steward was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood and said softly, "Your Highness, the Chief of the Department has not been going out much these days, or perhaps our intelligence has not detected it."
The Great Long Prefecture purged all forces within its borders, eradicating numerous sacrificial demons, as well as powerful families and minor sects—leaving no one alive!
The steward recounted the events softly, his voice trembling with fear, lingering unease, and a sense of dread. He recounted how the slaughter was no less terrifying than that of the Holy Emperor in his prime, leaving behind mountains of corpses and blood – a truly breathtaking spectacle.
Many of the forces that were paying attention were filled with apprehension, fearing that yet another Holy Emperor would rise to power.
They were even tempted to kill immediately, but the border town's power was now unfathomable, so they could only wait!
The second prince nodded slightly, a hint of envy in his expression, and said softly, "Such a carefree and unrestrained approach to life, Aunt, I truly envy you!"
The steward quickly whispered, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words! Your Highness, please be careful with your words! The Chief Steward's actions are a bit too extreme. Your Highness must not do this, otherwise, it will ultimately displease many powerful forces!"
Weiwei advised that one should never do anything that the Holy Emperor would do without being within the Holy Emperor's power. Otherwise, one would overturn the table and die from exhaustion, relying solely on passion, unless one possesses the power to change the world and shift the sun and moon!
The Second Prince hesitated for a moment, his eyes showing slight doubt, before he regained his composure and tentatively suggested in a soft voice, "What do you think? Would it be suitable if Aunt were to ascend the throne?"
Butler Shang and General Lou pondered for a moment. General Lou spoke softly and cautiously, "Your Highness, it is not impossible for the Chief Clerk to inherit the throne. The Chief Clerk recently broke through to the Martial Emperor realm. If there is no opposition from the Holy Emperor, the throne would certainly be very suitable."
Her eyes flickered with worry, and she said in a low voice, "But there has never been a female emperor ascending the throne before. Only by assisting Your Highness can we make the ministers obey our orders!"
Now, all the other princes have disappeared, but the throne cannot be without a ruler for even a day!
If you ascend the throne, with the chief minister assisting you and the army's trust in you, you will surely gain the complete respect and obedience of your ministers.
He bowed deeply, seemingly awaiting His Highness's command, ready to go through fire and water without hesitation!
Meanwhile, the business manager calmed down, his brows furrowed. He knew he needed to seize this golden opportunity, but he was deep in thought, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
The steward bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "Your Highness's considerations are reasonable. This matter probably requires further deliberation! We need to wait and see where the others have gone."
General Lou paused slightly, then looked up at Steward Shang with a mixture of confusion and anxiety in his eyes, as if to say, 'Such a golden opportunity! How can we hesitate? In the struggle for the throne, if we can seize it now, we can hold out for a few years and then make further plans later.'
He bowed again, "Your Highness, Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity. If we miss it, other branches in the capital might have something to say about it."
We are quite far from the capital, and I doubt the other elders will fully support Your Highness!
In Qi, a three-year-old child can ascend to the throne, just as a child can succeed to the throne. So it's not impossible here either. Without the Holy Emperor's suppression, the clan elders probably won't be so obedient!
If your son can ascend to the throne, why can't my son?
Behind the absurdity and ridiculousness lies a long-forgotten memory of how the Holy Emperor conquered the world. Now these major sects have submitted, but who are they submitting to? It's merely a matter of worrying that the Holy Emperor will return and settle scores.
Behind the scenes, there are many schemes and ideas. It seems that someone is cooperating unintentionally or intentionally, but they are just waiting to see if the Holy Emperor has any other tricks up his sleeve. They are just waiting for time to pass!
The Second Prince remained silent, waved his hand slightly, and said softly, "My mind is made up. If I cannot break through my cultivation level, I will never go back!"
You may all leave now!
"Yes." Butler Shang respectfully clasped his hands in a salute, slowly retreated, and casually tugged at the somewhat unwilling General Lou's sleeve!
General Lou bowed respectfully with a reluctant expression and slowly withdrew.
A hundred feet away, General Lou calmed down and sighed softly, "Steward Shang, that day the Second Prince's head was filled with dragon energy, and a group of dragons came to congratulate him. This was a celebration of heaven and earth, and the dragon energy returned to its rightful place. He is truly the Son of Heaven."
His cultivation level has likely reached a new level as well. At such a young age and with such talent, he is certainly a Martial Emperor in the future.
We can also ask the eldest princess to return to the city to care for His Highness for a while, until His Highness breaks through to the next level!
The shopkeeper remained silent, only gently shaking his head.
General Lou said reluctantly, "This opportunity is rare, and speed is of the essence! Such an opportunity may not come again in the future."
I am aware of Your Highness's concerns. Without the Emperor's suppression, it is likely that many forces will find it difficult to subdue you.
However, once His Highness returns to the city and ascends the throne, he will personally write a letter requesting the return of the eldest princess to the city. With the support of the army, he will surely be able to maintain a semblance of stability.
Moreover, returning to the royal city this time would undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity. Your Highness could consolidate the city's resources and break through to the Martial Emperor realm in one fell swoop, at which point you would surely be able to reclaim the world.
A hint of resentment flickered in his eyes, as if to say, "What's wrong with a temporary compromise and settling for less? With Emperor Yunwu in the army and the eldest princess supporting us, we can certainly maintain our voice. We need to secure this position first to gather more resources!"
The steward shook his head slightly and secretly transmitted his voice, "In the royal city, most people are currently standing by and watching. If the Red King attacks again, Your Highness will definitely be the first to be hit."
Moreover, scouts reported that the palace's guardians, having lost the nourishment of the dragon's energy, had not returned for the past few days.
Moreover, General Lou should be aware that the secrets of heaven have changed, spiritual energy has thinned, and the same is true for sacred lands; some people's lifespans may not be long enough!
General Lou's expression changed slightly. He nodded gently, sighed softly, and thought to himself, "I understand the principle, but this opportunity is rare. What a pity!"
He thought to himself, "I cultivate the path of killing and condense my life force, but my lifespan is unlikely to exceed a hundred years, and my peak is only a few decades. I cannot compare to those who cultivate immortality and think far ahead."
