Chapter 779 Abdication (8)

When the king passed through the hall and walked to the throne, sweat oozed out of his forehead. He swallowed, his eyes were frightened, and he looked at the seat with excitement for a moment before taking a solemn step forward, suddenly turned around and sat on it!

That's right, just sat on it.

The ministers were all confused. According to the national etiquette and His Majesty's previous practice, they would greet the ministers first, accept the courtesy of the ministers, and let the ministers calm down. Because the Marquis of Jin, Marquis of Yu, Marquis of Chen, were all princes who were granted a title for a long time and had not been polite for such a long time, they ignored such details. It was not until this moment that the Marquis of Jin suddenly remembered and quickly gave Gao Yuanyang, the Minister of Rites.

Gao Yuanyang immediately understood it, and then brought his ministers to bow down, shouting: "Your Majesty will last for thousands of years, and your foundation will last forever!"

This fake majesty, because of his nervousness and excitement, was a little uncomfortable with his speech, and said, "Uh... then... all the beloved ministers are calm!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers shouted together, and stood up one after another, all of whom looked curious. After all, it had been more than a month since they were not seen. What happened to Your Majesty? Is it because of worry and hard work? After all, there have been such rumors before.

"Come, give the seat to the Marquis of Jin, Marquis of Yu, Marquis of Chen!" The king said. The attendant who was on standby in the side room carried three chairs in. At the command of the king, Yu faced the ministers and asked the three to take the seats. The three princes thanked him, and then went upstairs to the chair and looked down at the ministers!

"This..." A voice of confusion and disharmonious sound suddenly sounded below. Finally, a bold and straightforward minister stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask!"

"May I ask!" The king calmed down a little, and these two words seemed very confident.

The second-rank official pointed to the three princes and said, "Your Majesty, in this hall, Your Majesty is a god-given power. The true emperor, what kind of virtue and ability of the three princes, how can they be on an equal footing with Your Majesty? It is really inappropriate!"

"Your Majesty, I also think that this move is indeed incompatible with the law! No matter how high the status of the princes is, they are just a first-rank minister in terms of rank!" Another first-rank official also stood up and said.

The Marquis of Jin sneered slightly, staring at the two who were giving advice, with a chill in his eyes.

At this time, it was time to compliment the king, and many officials took the lead and said, "I will discuss it!" Therefore, the comments were heard endlessly.

The king raised his hand, suppressed the voices of the ministers, and said, "This matter will be discussed later!" He sighed faintly and said, "You all know that it has been a while since you went to the morning court! You must be guessing why! I will tell you today!"

"Because of the troubles of state affairs over the past few years, I became ill after overwork. More than a month ago... I couldn't afford to get sick!"

The ministers immediately exclaimed, and many people showed what I had guessed long ago and nodded.

The king said again: "Even if there is an imperial doctor to treat it, I will only get better after more than a month, but... the imperial doctor told me that my body... has... been... no longer able to do it! If this continues, it will take only three or two months to last..." He did not finish his words.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

"Your Majesty is engaged in national affairs and has been a famous lord for thousands of times a day!"

"I am ashamed! Your Majesty is in good health, but the ministers cannot share the burden. I am really ashamed!"

The voices of the monarch and ministers came one after another, complimenting the king on the one hand, and concealing his guilt on the other.

"At that time, due to the turmoil in the domestic situation, I did not inform everyone of this news in time to avoid causing greater chaos!" The king said: "I have decided to... abdicate!"

"Retreat... abdicate?"

All the ministers were shocked. Before the morning court, no one expected that the king would announce such a major news today! This is the abdication of the king of a country! Is there anything bigger than this for the entire Milei Kingdom?

"Your Majesty! Please think twice!"

"Your Majesty! Take care of the dragon body!"

"Your Majesty! This is a turbulent time, and abdication will inevitably cause turmoil! Please take back your life!"

"Your Majesty! You can never be abdicated! You are a famous king for all ages. The future of Mile will depend on your holy and wise governance!"

"Your Majesty! You..."

In the main hall, there was a smug voice from top to bottom. The sound lasted for several minutes and there was no sign of stopping. At this time, the Marquis of Jin coughed lightly, containing the Yuan power, suppressing everyone's voices.

The king said again: "My intention has been decided! No one must say much about abdication, otherwise he will be exiled to the Death Ridge!"

The terribleness of Death Ridge, but as we all know, it’s good that the military officers went there, because their cultivation was enough to protect themselves. When those civil servants went there, they were simply giving delicious food to wild beasts. The ministers immediately remained silent, as if they turned into mute instantly!

"Is this the appearance of all officials?" The Duke of Jin thought to himself. He was extremely disappointed with this behavior. At that time, those officials who could directly advise were either exiled or moved to remote areas, so no one could advise him.

After a moment of silence, Shan Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty! If you are in good health and must abdicate, we want to know whether you will pass the throne to the eldest prince or to the princess? This matter is related to the national system and you must prepare in advance!"

The king shook his head and said, "The eldest prince... he suffered from serious illness and died more than a month ago! It was because of the fact that I became depressed and sick..."

"Wow—" The ministers felt like they were in a panic when they heard this. This incident was even more violent than the king's abdication.

"How could it be? Why did the eldest prince leave so suddenly?"

"Your Majesty! Is this true?"

Although the eldest prince had no wise reputation, he was better at getting along easily and had a good relationship with officials from various ministries. Many officials in the court tried to cling to the eldest prince in the hope that the eldest prince would take over the throne in the future. For these people, all the efforts made before had become a bubble.

"And as for the princess... she is naughty by nature and is not very suitable to inherit the king of a country! If she was asked to sit on this throne, I am afraid that Mile will die faster than me!" said the king: "So, I will not pass the throne to the princess!"

"The eldest prince died of illness and the second prince passed away early. The princess is not suitable for inheriting the throne! Then... Does Your Majesty want to choose the person who inherits the throne from the side room?"

"No, how could it be chosen by the side chamber? According to Milai's law, the heirs after the princess are King Weinan and King Du Yue! King Weinan has... Now only King Du Yue is left! Your Majesty should want to pass the throne to King Du Yue!"

"Not bad! King Du Yue is talented and talented, and he is also guarding the border, so he can really afford it!"

"Your Majesty has a good relationship with King Du Yue, and it is reasonable to pass the throne to him!"

“…”

The ministers started to discuss, but no one thought of the three princes who were given throne.
