Everyone looked at Xu Wuzhou dumbfounded, with shock in their eyes.
Even the Human Emperor's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard!
Only the core members of the Taoist sect and others secretly sighed in their hearts. It turned out that the Taoist master really expected this scene that day, so he made a decision in advance and informed them in advance.
While everyone was moved, they also felt that there was a fire suppressing their hearts. The Human Emperor had gone too far!
Xu Wuzhou stepped down from the throne, and Shi Mei followed him to the main hall.
"Taoist!" Someone finally couldn't hold it back and shouted loudly, "Taoist, why did you do this!"
The Human Emperor was also looking at Xu Wuzhou at this time. Was Xu Wuzhou acting just now? Advancing in order to retreat? This is a good way to catch him off guard. However, you are Xu Baobao's son, so you have to pay the price.
Many other people in the court also reacted, thinking that Xu Wuzhou should resign to show his loyalty. But how could anyone let him resign, so this was just his attitude.
At this time, I saw someone standing up, and many people also stood up. They looked at Xu Wuzhou and said, "Tao Master, there is no need for this."
But to everyone's surprise, he said: "Don't think I'm pretending. Since I, Xu Wuzhou, have said that I will resign, I will definitely resign. I, Xu Wuzhou, have always kept my word, and the same is true in this matter."
.I promise Wuzhou has my own pride. Fame and wealth are as important to me as clouds. I will never be greedy for power. For me, since leaving the position can relieve the world's worries, what do I have to be attached to?"
Speaking of this, Xu Wuzhou waved his hands and said, "Okay, from today onwards, I am no longer a Taoist master. After today, I will escape to other places and never appear in the Taoist sect again."
Looking at Xu Wuzhou's determined look, everyone understood that Xu Wuzhou meant what he said. He couldn't just express his attitude by saying such decisive words.
It was deathly quiet all around, and the Emperor was also sluggish in his seat.
He did all this just to limit Xu Wuzhou's power and suppress him. But he never thought of directly forcing Xu Wuzhou to give up his position.
Because Xu Wuzhou's prestige is too high and his achievements are too high. He won the battle between humans and demons, and his record of killing the saint and the demon emperor made him directly become a god.
So even if he was the Human Emperor, he could only endure it when Xu Wuzhou took the throne.
If it weren't for Xu Baobao's anger among people and gods, he wouldn't even be able to find any crime to suppress Xu Wuzhou. After all, ordinary crimes would be of no use to him.
But even if Xu Baobao's accusation is used, it can only make people suspicious, and Xu Wuzhou can be restrained by expressing his innocence through righteousness. It is extremely difficult to shake Xu Wuzhou's position as Taoist master.
But who would have thought that Xu Wuzhou would resign as Taoist master directly to prove his innocence.
What is this?
Everything is forced by me, the Emperor! Everything is done by me to eliminate dissidents and be motivated by interests?!
Seeing that Xu Wuzhou was about to leave, the Human Emperor finally became angry. Only when Xu Wuzhou sat in the position of Taoist Master could he reasonably doubt Xu Wuzhou with righteousness and force him to limit himself in order to prove his innocence. But if Xu Wuzhou did not take the position of Taoist Master directly, then
His reputation will be directly destroyed.
Even if he becomes a saint now, he may not be able to suppress such turbulent public opinion.
When Mo Daoxian comes to power, even if he does not have as much prestige as Xu Wuzhou. But when his reputation has completely collapsed, Mo Daoxian can immediately and smoothly inherit everything from Xu Wuzhou, and even be even more prosperous.
He is a saint! He is the only saint in the world! He is also the Human Emperor!
Could it be that I am really transparent?
No! The King of Chu was very transparent in his time. People in the world said that he was inferior to the King of Chu and wanted to abdicate the Human Emperor to the King of Chu.
But now, I feel that it is not as good as in the days of King Chu. After all, even though I was incompetent at that time, I was only criticized as a mediocre soldier. But if I am now, I am afraid I will be dismissed as a fool.
Therefore, the Human Emperor, who had been patient for many years, finally couldn't suppress his emotions and angrily scolded Xu Wuzhou: "Stop!"
Xu Wuzhou turned his head, looked at the Human Emperor and said, "What else can you do?"
The Human Emperor said with a gloomy face: "If you want to make things clear, why would you throw away your burden and quit directly? How does this make the world think? Do you think I am directly forcing you to give up your position?"
Xu Wuzhou glanced at the Human Emperor and said: "This is strange. You said that I am Xu Baobao's son, and I might be able to fulfill Xu Baobao's wish of blood sacrifice to the human race. You said that as a Taoist master, I have unique abilities. The world's people
There will be some doubts and worries.
So, in order to prevent the world from worrying, I just resign as Taoist Master. Isn't this the best solution?
I also said that I am not a human emperor for you, I only want to make the world feel at ease."
"..."
The Human Emperor was extremely aggrieved. He had thousands of words he wanted to say. But for a moment, he couldn't say anything.
How can I say this? Because what Xu Wuzhou said was all his, and he didn't even say that he was forced by the emperor. If he continued to accuse him, it would be because he was mean.
"Let's go!" Xu Wuzhou said to Shi Mei, walking slowly towards the outside. He tried his best to make his steps look a little lackluster.
Everyone looked at Xu Wuzhou and was about to walk out of the hall. Finally, some people couldn't help it. They knelt on the ground and said with tears: "Tao Master! We absolutely believe in you, and please stay!"
"Master Tao, please stay!"
"Tao Master! Don't leave!"
"..."
At this moment, many courtiers, princes and leaders were prostrate on the ground, begging Xu Wuzhou to stay. Xu Wuzhou's prestige was undoubtedly evident at this moment.
Xu Wuzhou paused before stepping out of the hall, sighed, turned to look at the crowd and said, "You don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind. This is the best result for everyone."
"Taoist Master leaves, this is the worst result. How can you say it is the best result for Taoist Master." Someone said with a choked voice.
Xu Wuzhou looked over and saw that it was the leader of Wufang Cult. Xu Wuzhou regretted a little. He had seen that the leader of Wufang Cult was a transparent person among the many sect leaders in the past. If Wufang Cult hadn't been very powerful, he wouldn't have been able to remember this person. So, he didn't care about him.
Special care.
I didn't expect that he was such a Chicheng person. Alas, someone should have taken more care of him in the first place. However, although I resigned, I could still take care of him by saying hello to Wu Yao.
This kind of Akagi gentleman must not be buried.
"Everyone, please get up. Alas, I am Xu Baobao's son. It would be inappropriate for me to sit in the position of Taoist Master. Even if everyone believes it, there are definitely people in the world who don't. Some people will even take this opportunity to come.
Playing conspiracy will make the world worried. How can I, Xu Wuzhou, worry the world just because of myself?
The most important thing is that if someone takes advantage of this, it will also be detrimental to the stability of our human race.
My race, the human race, has experienced a war between humans and demons, and won a great victory. It is a good time, how can we let the race be in turmoil again because of me?
The stability of the human race is better than anything else. As for me, I am just a person and not that important."
Xu Wuzhou's words spread throughout the court. And Sangong and others finally understood why Xu Wuzhou repeatedly reminded stability was the most important thing in the previous meeting.
