When Tantai Yunlang looked back, his eyes turned sharp for a moment, "Have you all withdrawn?"
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The leading old man bowed his head and replied respectfully.
Tantai Yunlang's eyes flashed slightly, and his stern voice was slightly relaxed, with a little emotion, "I have said it many times, I am no longer the prince of Xilan, and I no longer have anything to do with Xilan.
Mr. Wei, please change your name."
Tantai Yunlang is dead.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Mr. Wei called out loudly.
Everyone behind him also followed Mr. Wei's actions and knelt down.
Mr. Wei's voice trembled and he spoke sincerely, "Your Highness, you are the only one who can save Xilan now. How can you just let go? Look at the country left by the late emperor. What is it like now that it has been separated and disintegrated? It's not easy for me, old minister."
How can His Highness say such things again and again when His Highness comes back!"
Some people strongly agreed, "Yes, if His Highness the Crown Prince were here, Xilan would not have been defeated so miserably one after another, nor would it be in the state of fragmentation it is now."
Tantai Yunlang's eyes were heavy, "Xilan has a new emperor, and now there is a queen mother in charge of the court. The world is initially settled. Although Xilan's power is much weaker than before, there should be no more turmoil in the short term."
If he goes back, in what capacity will he go back?
Prince Xilan has died in Wujiang, and Emperor Xilan is still on the throne.
The most important thing is that after climbing up from a narrow escape in Wujiang and being reborn, he never thought about going back again. He felt liberated.
This time, he wanted to be selfish for once, follow his own heart, be himself, be Xiao Yunlang, and no longer have to bear the burden of the surname that almost crushed him.
"At the beginning, our Xilan Dynasty was the head of the three great dynasties. Now we have lost half of our country. Our national power is weakened, the new emperor is weak and incompetent, and the court is in chaos." Mr. Wei was heartbroken.
Hearing Tantai Yunlang's words, he almost shed tears in despair and said fiercely, "If His Highness were here, we would never end up in this situation!"
"Yes, that's right!"
"that is!"
Everyone's emotions were suddenly aroused, and they all spoke out in anger.
The new emperor was incompetent, Empress Dowager Xiao controlled the government, and Si Chen had already caused a lot of controversy. Coupled with Xilan's situation getting worse, everyone's dissatisfaction became more serious, including Tantai Yunlang's old subordinates.
Although Mr. Wei fell silent, his expression clearly showed no intention of giving up.
Tantai Yunlang's brows reappeared with a look of solemnity, and he was not angry, he said, "Brother Ze is still young, and he was appointed to the throne when he was in danger. It is normal for him to temporarily mess up the rules when he comes into contact with the government. But no matter what, he is the king.
You are ministers, especially at this time, you should do your best to assist the people around you. How can you continue to cause trouble and make the court uneasy? This is also the most important reason why I summoned everyone!"
But Tantai Yunlang didn't expect that during the time when he was seriously injured and recuperating, the outside world was turned upside down, and the pattern of the three dynasties had changed so much.
But after hearing this, everyone still disagreed and said one after another, "Your Highness, when Jiang Xiang learned that His Highness was still alive, he cried with joy. If Jiang Xiang hadn't been so old, he would have made an appointment to pay homage to His Highness and personally welcome His Highness back to the court!
"
"There are also General Long Wei and Marquis Yong..."
"We also welcome Your Highness!"
"That's right"
…
Tantai Yunlang's words could not dispel everyone's thoughts at all.
Just imagine, a group of people who lived in darkness and thought they would never see the light of day suddenly saw light and hope. How could they give up so easily?
"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince has a weak temperament and cannot take on big responsibilities. He is not worthy of being a king at all!" Mr. Wei insisted even more, almost bursting into tears to persuade him, "As long as His Highness the Prince comes back, he will definitely respond to his call and regain the throne. It will be a piece of cake."
, Jiang Xiang and General Wei are looking forward to His Highness returning every day. At that time, the Ninth Prince will still be the Ninth Prince, and the Queen Mother will still be the Queen Mother. There will be no changes, but for me, Xilan..."
"That's enough!" Tantai Yunlang interrupted with a wave of his hand.
These people will never understand that the Ninth Prince may be the Ninth Prince, but the Queen Mother... Oh, let's not mention it.
His return will only make the Xilan court more chaotic, and make the Xilan dynasty's newly stabilized country experience another bloody storm!
Just looking at these old subordinates who had followed him loyally in the past, Tantai Yunlang still couldn't bear it. His eyebrows were cold and serious for a moment, then softened, "No need to say more, I have made up my mind."
"Your Highness, you are the prince, and it is only natural that you inherit the throne!"
"You are the late emperor's only successor, and everyone in the world can see this."
"The courtiers are convinced and the people are convinced that His Highness is the best candidate for the ninth five-year position. Do you really have the heart to just ignore it? Let Xilan be humiliated by Tianlin and Longxiang." Everyone still refused to give up.
Trying to change Tantai Yunlang's mind.
Tantai Yunlang pursed his red lips into a straight line and remained silent.
At this time, he really regretted why he didn't just disappear and why he put himself in this dilemma again just because he couldn't bear it.
Mentioning this, Mr. Wei burst into tears instantly, "Yes, especially the late emperor. The late emperor has taken you by his side since you were a child, taught you earnestly, and did not rely on others. How much expectations do you have for you? I just ask
, is this worthy of the late emperor?"
Tantai Yunlang felt a sharp pain in his chest. The intense pain made him stagger, and his handsome face instantly turned pale.
Yes, the only person he is sorry for is his father.
The father who had taken him by his side and taught him since he was a child. From the time he was babbling, he taught him how to read and write, and taught him the righteousness of his family and country.
The father who smiled and took him back to the Jinluan Palace when he was rejected by his mother and was miserable in the heavy rain, and talked to him all night long to comfort him.xdw8
When he was seriously ill and cried out for his mother, but still couldn't get a look from that person, it was his father who took good care of him.
How could he bear to let down such a person?
It was his father who told him not to resent his mother and empress, but to always have kind thoughts and be tolerant of others, including his mother, no matter where and when he did. He did it.
It was his father who told him to know how to love someone with sincerity. Although he took a detour, he finally realized it.
But it was also his father who told him that after taking over this heavy responsibility, he should be kind to the world and love the people like a son.
But he didn't do this... he felt guilty.
Tantai Yunlang closed his eyes and covered up the tears in his eyes.
Heartbroken, he once again fell into endless struggle.
But Father, do you know that the woman you have spent all your efforts to protect, including your life, is the one who will take your life without mercy!
Father, can you tell me, as a mother and a wife, why can you be so cruel?
It was also that woman who personally forced her biological son into such a desperate situation.
If he goes back, it will be her death!
Tantai Yunlang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were as scarlet as blood, because he could tolerate a mother who was indifferent to him, but he could not tolerate a murderer who killed his beloved father!
