Faced with the remonstrances of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty slumped on the dragon chair helplessly, as if he were mourning his heir.
When an emperor holds supreme power, he can have whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants. No one can control him, and whatever he says is what he says.
After sitting in this position, who would be willing to step down?
Although the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was fatuous, he also knew that once he retreated, he would have to walk on thin ice every day. If he was not careful, he would be killed!
Therefore, he really does not want to abdicate.
However, if he did not abdicate, the people would not support Zhou Dynasty, so they all ran to support Xiao Zhan. Once Xiao Zhan led his troops into the palace, he firmly believed that Xiao Zhan would use his blood to pay tribute to Ping Xihou.
He doesn't want to die.
He is still young.
He wanted to continue favoring the three thousand beauties in his harem.
Many beauties have been selected into the palace, but have not yet been favored. It would be a pity to die!
So after careful consideration, he decided to compromise.
After all, the prince is also his son. As long as he abdicates the throne and makes way for the worthy, he will no longer interfere in political affairs, plunge into beauty, and will not threaten the prince's throne, the prince will not be cruel enough to kill his father.
So, he sighed and said: "Then I will abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, and arrange for the crown prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible."
The prince became excited.
At this time, Shangshu ordered: "Your Majesty, the prince is mediocre and has no achievements. He cannot establish an image in the hearts of the people and does not get much support from the people. Putting the prince in power will not solve the current predicament of Da Zhou. So Da Zhou will eventually
It will be destroyed at the hands of Xiao Zhan, Your Majesty and the royal family will not escape death, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will still be destroyed!"
The prince was furious when he heard this. He suppressed his anger and asked with a smile: "In the opinion of the minister, who is suitable to sit on this dragon chair?"
Shangshu Ling uttered two words loudly: "King Yu!"
"What did you say?"
His Majesty the Emperor stood up and said in surprise: "Since ancient times, if the emperor has any heirs, he abdicates to his heirs. If he has no heirs, he abdicates to his brother or his brother's heir. How can he abdicate to an emperor's uncle?"
The minister ordered: "It's good that the rules are set like this, but rules are dead and people are alive. Among your majesty's brothers and descendants, no one can suppress Xiao Zhan at present, and no one can win the hearts of the people."
"King Yu is recognized as the best master in the world and has great prestige in the hearts of people in the world. Putting King Yu on the throne can intimidate people in the world and attract countless monks who worship King Yu to join the army to support King Yu. At the same time, it can also play a role in
The role of deterring the Xiliang army can be said to be a good thing that achieves multiple things with one stone."
"I firmly believe that as long as King Yu takes the throne, he will be able to defeat the Xiliang army, consolidate the imperial power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and make the Great Zhou Dynasty prosperous for another thousand years without any problem!"
After Shangshu Ling finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court expressed their support for King Yu's ascension to the throne.
The prince and other princes tried their best to dissuade him.
However, all the people in the civil and military circles of the dynasty strongly recommended King Yu to ascend the throne, saying that only the ascendancy of Prince Yu could save the Great Zhou Dynasty. The emperor was also afraid that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be destroyed and end up with no burial place, so he had no choice but to do so.
Said: "I agree to the Zen title of King Yu, summon King Yu to the palace, and prepare to ascend the throne."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All the officials were overjoyed.
When the news reached Prince Yu's Mansion, Zhou Yanjun was extremely excited!
"Father, you have worked hard for so long, and finally the day has come when you can justifiably sit on that dragon throne and rule the world!"
"yes!"
King Yu looked up to the sky and sighed: "It is said that the emperor and heaven are worthy of all my hard work. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. God is worthy of all my efforts!"
Zhou Yanjun grinned and said: "Father, after you succeed to the throne, you can make your son the prince and let him take charge of the East Palace!"
King Yu smiled and patted Zhou Yanjun on the shoulder and smiled: "Among my many sons, you are the most like me. If I don't make you the crown prince, who will I make?"
Zhou Yanjun was so happy that he flattered him and said, "Father, you claim that I am so domineering!"
