Li Er glared at Li Chengqian fiercely, "Gao Ming, I ask you, are you willing to inherit my throne?"
Um?
Li Chengqian: "..."
What the hell?
Does his father want to pass the throne to him?
"etc."
Li Chengqian suddenly frowned and said to himself: "Father is probably testing me. If I say I want it, wouldn't it be playing into his hands?"
After all, people who are emperors are jealous people and like to speculate on certain things.
In a word: Suspiciousness is very serious.
What if it's just a test?
He also had to guard against what if Li Er was just testing.
What to do?
"Can't take risks."
Li Chengqian thought: "We can't take risks no matter what, even though he is my father and my nominal father.
However, he is also an emperor.
Since ancient times, the hearts of emperors have been supreme, and they will never tolerate any sand in their eyes.
Therefore, I'd better not let my father know my true thoughts.
Not right either.
Isn’t my real idea to cultivate to become an immortal and become the supreme being in the immortal way?”
The wealth and wealth of a human emperor have nothing to do with Li Chengqian.
Although emperors are said to be extremely wealthy, they are actually nothing compared to immortals.
It's still not enough.
So……
As long as you express the truest thoughts in your heart, wouldn't it be best?
After thinking of this, Li Chengqian said respectfully: "Returning to my father's words, I am extremely happy that my son has been gifted by his father and given the title of crown prince.
I didn't dare to ask for anything else, let alone covet the position of emperor, and hoped that my father would take back his life.
I only wish to practice under the guidance of my father.
Now, with the guidance of spiritual practice given by the Imperial Master, my son has a new pursuit.
I just wish that the breeze blows on my face, I just wish to practice the supreme immortal way, and become a free and easy immortal.
As for the throne.
I think that my father, you are still young, powerful and courageous, and you can practice cultivation now, so you will have no problem being the emperor for another hundred years."
Li Er: "..."
When did my son become so powerful?
He glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise, "This son he has watched grow up with his own eyes actually has such abilities. It is really extraordinary."
I underestimated him before.
This kid actually has such abilities, but he looked down on others before.
Li Er felt that Li Chengqian was extraordinary, and he said calmly, "Gao Ming, do you really think so?"
"That's natural."
Li Chengqian quickly explained: "Father, I know that I have no interest in the way of the emperor, so now I am obsessed with cultivating immortality, and I hope that my father will give me permission."
As for the position of prince, it’s okay even if you don’t want it.
He doesn't want it.
There's no point in coming.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Er instinctively became furious, "Gao Ming, kneel down!"
"..."
Li Chengqian was stunned and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Father, I wonder if my son has made any mistakes?"
What are you doing kneeling down?
He doesn't understand.
"Kneel down when I tell you to do so. Why do you need to ask so many questions?"
Li Er was furious, "I know whether you made a mistake or not. I don't need you to explain anything."
Plop!
After hearing His Majesty Li Er's angry words, Li Chengqian had no choice but to kneel down immediately.
He was trembling and did not dare to talk back or refute anything.
As Li Er's son, he is very aware of the horror of his father, and he must not talk back at this time.
Not even an explanation will do.
Because you won't let him go just because of an explanation.
really.
next moment.
Then I heard Li Er say coldly: "You are the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the world has changed greatly and cultivation has become the theme of this world, you are still the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This is a fact that you cannot change.
Therefore, you must shoulder your due responsibilities, such as inheriting my throne."
Li Chengqian: "Father, are you testing me?"
When Li Chengqian thought of this situation, he quickly explained, "Reporting to my father, after the imperial master came to the world of the Tang Dynasty, he opened a Taoist palace and taught the immortal way of practice. My son and I were deeply attracted by his immortal doctrines.
Therefore, my son is living a good life now, just seeking the road and being free and at ease.
Of course.
If there is another purpose, it is to seek as much benefit as possible for the Tang Dynasty after successful cultivation, so that the world of the Tang Dynasty can be passed down for millions of years and be immortal!"
Li Er: "..."
It sounds like there is no contradiction or problem in what Li Chengqian said.
but.
Li Er still wanted to beat him up. Did this bastard actually not even want the throne?
Is this going to throw away all the inheritance passed down from our ancestors?
He couldn't help but said angrily: "Gao Ming, you continue to kneel down to me, you are not allowed to get up without my order!"
Li Chengqian didn't know what happened, because Li Er's attitude changed a lot, which made him feel incredible.
Could something really happen?
"etc!"
Li Chengqian suddenly thought of a possibility, "Father, he really wants to pass the throne to me, right?"
If this is the case, then those previous words would not be tantamount to offending Li Er.
But.
Li Chengqian thought again, "Even if the Phoenix wants to pass on to me, in today's world of the Tang Dynasty, there are people who can cultivate immortals, and there are immortal ways that can lead to a happy and immortal life, why should I become an ordinary person?
Even if you become an emperor who is extremely wealthy and noble in the world, you will always be an ordinary emperor.
Compared to becoming a god and living forever, a mere human emperor is nothing."
You know, cultivation becomes extremely difficult after becoming an emperor.
If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to achieve anything in your life.
As for becoming an immortal or a god, it is even more out of the question. It is like the moon in the mirror, it is simply impossible to achieve.
Think about this.
Li Chengqian hurriedly added: "Father, ever since the Imperial Master preached to the world, I have acquired the method of cultivation passed down by him. Now that I have achieved a little success, I know the joy of cultivation.
Afterwards, the son and his ministers begged their father to pass on the throne to others.
Even if I offend you, my father, because of this, and even if you, my father, want to deprive me of my position as crown prince, I will still say the same thing."
"you……"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er became furious and said, "Gao Ming, have you ever thought about me or the Tang Dynasty?"
I hate that iron cannot become steel.
He was very angry.
Anger suddenly emerged and burned, "I don't care what you think, now you have only one choice, and that is to inherit my throne and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Do you understand?"
Li Chengqian shook his head, "I don't understand, my father and son have grown up now and have their own choices.
You must also know that those younger brothers all covet the throne. Father, you can choose a talented, learned, and virtuous person among them to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
As for my son, I really don’t want to be the emperor of a single dynasty. My dream is the stars and the sea. I just want the breeze to blow on my face, I just want to cultivate immortality and become a Taoist, and be free and at ease."
"..."
Li Er looked at his eldest son with a bit of laughter and tears. He suddenly felt that Li Chengqian was very strange, so strange that he didn't even recognize him.
This is definitely not the Li Chengqian he knew before.
Do people also change?
He was puzzled.
He also looked a little confused, "Is cultivating an immortal really that good?"
for a while.
Li Er couldn't help but think about it, "Is it possible that my eldest son was deceived by Jiang Xiao and became lame?"
But.
Li Chengqian is the heir whom he personally trained.
just this?
To say that I am not angry is definitely a lie.
Li Chengqian rejected himself.
Li Er was really annoyed. He glared angrily, "I've never heard of anyone who doesn't like being the emperor. It's really rare that I've seen it."
throne.
Since ancient times, almost everyone has been looking forward to the throne, and everyone wants to be the emperor.
But now, Li Er's eyes have been opened.
Li Chengqian's refusal to inherit the throne left him helpless. Who would succeed him in the future of the Tang Dynasty?
The third child, Li Ke, or the fourth child, Li Tai?
Or is it Lao Liu and Lao Jiu?
But.
Then this son can’t do it.
None of them fit Li Er's choice of successor.
My head hurts.
Suddenly, his face turned dark, and he said with a gloomy look: "Gao Ming, you have to think clearly. Whether you want to be emperor or not is another state, and it will have a certain impact on your future."
Hear the words.
Li Chengqian was stunned, "Father, I am not afraid of losing the throne. To me, the throne has no meaning or effect, so I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be a free and easy immortal cultivator."
I hope that one day I can become an immortal and I will be satisfied."
As the saying goes: If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening.
That's all.
Isn’t it good to be a devout seeker?
Li Chengqian felt that as long as he could seek the Tao and he was strong enough, it would be better than anything else.
As for the position of emperor in this world, he really doesn't care.
No matter what, it is just a mere throne. Even if it controls the life and death of thousands of living beings, even if it holds huge power, it cannot be compared with those powerful immortal cultivators.
You must know that immortal cultivators are powerful people who can cultivate various magical powers.
They have the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and they also possess various magical abilities.
Therefore, such an existence is definitely not comparable to a mere mortal emperor.
Even a mortal emperor could not threaten him.
Therefore, Li Chengqian is confident.
He is not afraid either.
He is not afraid of practicing.
As long as you work hard enough and have Jiang Que to help you, you can practice to a certain level.
After becoming the emperor, he will be affected by the golden dragon of luck, and his cultivation will stagnate. Once his cultivation is over, he will probably turn into ashes.
It's scary just thinking about it.
so.
Reject immediately!
No matter what, he, Li Chengqian, will never be able to become emperor.
Especially the emperor of Tang Dynasty.
To know.
Just now, Li Chengqian already knew that the Heaven Realm has begun to succeed, and the Heavenly Palace will be established next.
According to the wishes of his father, His Majesty Li Er, he also wanted to build a heavenly palace in the heavenly palace.
An existence similar to the legendary ancient heaven.
But.
Such a powerful spiritual force must be a powerful existence that controls the three realms.
At that time, even the mortal dynasty will definitely respect him, Li Er and Li Shimin.
Therefore, even if Li Chengqian is lucky enough to become emperor, he will still have to be managed by His Majesty Li Er.
In other words, even if he becomes the emperor, he will only be an emperor under the guidance of His Majesty Li Er.
It doesn't have much rights.
What's the point of being in the presence of such an emperor?
Not at all.
Li Chengqian finally figured it out. There was no benefit in being such an emperor, and there was no benefit at all.
After much thought.
He decided to reject His Majesty Li Er's kindness.
And he said very respectfully: "Father, I long for the great road, so please forgive me this time."
The implication.
You old man, if you think who is suitable to be the emperor, just ask him to be the emperor.
I'm not suitable.
Li Er couldn't help but was stunned and looked strange, "Gao Ming, I ask you again, are you really unwilling to inherit my throne and be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Thank you father for your kindness."
Li Chengqian could only grit his teeth and say, "My son, I have already thought it through. Everything has been decided long ago. I hope my father will give me permission."
"You have to think clearly. Once you make a decision, you can't go back on it."
Li Er continued: "I can give you opportunities again and again, but I cannot give you opportunities again and again."
"Father, I have thought it through clearly."
Li Chengqian looked extremely calm and said: "My son is devoted to the Tao and has no interest in other things. I hope my father will forgive me!"
