Xile suddenly became anxious and took Wu Yuan to go to the Peacock Palace to stop him.
But Wu Yuan directly pulled Xile into his arms, "You think that stopping those ministers can stop Emperor Wu's ambition. If he really wants to, he doesn't have to go to such trouble and just put me under house arrest."
"We can't stop Emperor Wu now."
Hearing what Wu Yuan said, Xile's face turned extremely ugly.
But he still said: "Then you can't break the pot, and you can't take the initiative to give up the throne, right?"
With a smile on his face, Wu Yuan said nonchalantly: "Now it's not a question of whether I give in or not, but a question of whether he grabs it or not."
"Since it's no longer up to me, why not show him some sincerity."
Xile was a little confused when she heard what Wu Yuan said.
"Wu Yuan, you don't really want to hand over the throne to protect yourself, do you?" Xile asked in surprise.
Wu Yuan did not deny it, "It is not wrong to say that it is for self-protection. Firstly, this move is to test Emperor Wu, and secondly, it is indeed for self-protection."
"Since we can't do anything anymore, let alone resist, we must minimize the danger."
"But to be honest, I'm not that obsessed with this throne."
When Xile heard this, he became a little unhappy, "If you weren't persistent, why did you bother to fight Emperor Wu so hard in the first place?"
"If I really have to give one reason, it is for freedom." Wu Yuan also rarely said seriously.
Xile was stunned for a moment. She could see that what Wu Yuan said was not angry words, but the truth.
I also understand that Emperor Wu was very suspicious of Wu Yuan at the beginning, and repeatedly placed Wu Yuan under house arrest in the East Palace, and even sent Wu Yuan to Boulder City.
Based on the situation in Boulder City at that time, if Wu Yuan was not powerful enough, it would be possible for him to die in Boulder City.
During that period, Wu Yuan had no way to control his own destiny, let alone the destiny of the East Palace.
So much so that when I went to Boulder City, I always took the East Palace with me. I must have had the idea of walking away if it really didn't work out.
Wu Yuan's resistance can be said to have been forced out step by step by Emperor Wu.
But now that he was being forced to give up the throne, Xile felt a little sorry for Wu Yuan, but also a little angry.
"But Wu Yuan, you are not afraid. Once you hand over the throne, will your life be as miserable as before? It may even be worse than before."
Xile felt that if Emperor Wu sat on the throne in the center, he would be even more wary of Wu Yuan.
Even though Wu Yuan doesn't have much power around him now, as long as Wu Yuan is given some time, it won't be difficult to regain the throne from Emperor Wu.
Therefore, Xile did not support Wu Yuan just waiting to die.
He took Wu Yuan's hand and said: "Wu Yuan, how about we escape, leave the capital, go to Boulder City to meet Xin Ruyan and the others, and then fight back, how about?"
In fact, Wu Yuan had not thought about this method.
But if he really did that, the consequences would also be beyond his ability to bear.
It is not difficult to regain the throne, but what is difficult is that Dawu cannot withstand the consumption of the civil war.
If nothing unexpected happens, word of the rebellion battle in the capital last night may have spread, and it won't take long for Tianli Kingdom and other countries to know about it.
What will the Tianli Congress do then? Wu Yuan knows with his toes that they will not give up such a rare opportunity.
At the moment, neither he nor Emperor Wu wants to see this happen. It is wisest to peacefully resolve the relationship between father and son, otherwise there will be no winner between him and Emperor Wu.
Wu Yuan explained these interests to Xile in detail, and Xile also felt a headache after hearing this.
But Xile still insisted: "Even if we don't fight for the throne, we will still escape."
"No big deal, let's leave Dawu. The world is so big, and with your ability, you can prosper wherever you go. Even the business of one family in the world is enough for us to live happily."
"Anyway, it's better than waiting here for Emperor Wu to decide our fate."
Although what Xile said was reasonable, Wu Yuan still firmly shook his head and rejected Xile's proposal, "You can't leave!"
"Why?" Xile was also angry. This won't work, and that won't work either. She didn't understand why Wu Yuan had to be passively beaten here this time.
Wu Yuan knew that Xile was impatient, but he still explained patiently: "I don't care, I will just leave, but have you ever thought about Xin Ruyan's position? Do you think she will leave?"
"In other words, do you think General Xin will leave?"
Only then did Xile realize that Wu Yuan's biggest concern was Xin Ruyan.
General Xin is Dawu's number one general. Even before Emperor Wu was always on guard against him, General Xin's loyalty was well known.
When Dawu is in crisis, it is absolutely impossible for this general to abandon him.
As for Xin Ruyan's character, Xile also knew something about it, as she had inherited her father's loyalty and courage.
Xin Ruyan is not necessarily loyal to Emperor Wu, but he is still loyal to Dawu. When father and son go into battle, Xin Ruyan will not just leave behind his father who is fighting a bloody battle.
Wu Yuan also thought of this, so he didn't want to make it difficult for Xin Ruyan.
Wu Yuan smiled and said: "Ruyan is pregnant now. I can no longer affect Ruyan's mood at this time. Don't make trouble with me. Go back to sleep."
When Xile heard Wu Yuan's words, she was angry and funny. At the same time, she also envied Wu Yuan's preference for Xin Ruyan.
"But there is no need for you to risk your life. Take care of Xin Ruyan's mood. If you die, Xin Ruyan will be better off?" Xile also tried his best to persuade Wu Yuan.
But Wu Yuan had already made up his mind and said very confidently: "Don't worry, I won't die."
"Are you so confident?" Xile was puzzled.
"Of course, Emperor Wu knows the consequences of killing me. If he kills me, regardless of General Xin's position, he will accompany Xin Ruyan to avenge me. Emperor Wu cannot bear the consequences."
Although Xile felt that it made sense after hearing this, he still said unwillingly: "Can we just sit back and wait for death? Isn't there any way?"
Wu Yuan shook his head, "There is no other way. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trick seems a bit ridiculous."
"So now we have to see what kind of attitude Emperor Wu has." Wu Yuan also sighed.
He didn't want to be so passive, but now he was helpless.
It is not impossible to win over hundreds of officials, but it is nothing more than a desperate struggle.
"Then let's go to the Peacock Palace and have a look." Xile suggested.
