336 Chapter 335-abdicating

Li Chengzong sat in a closed room. This small room, which was only ten feet in radius, was definitely as different as the clouds and mud when compared to the palace he once lived in.

However, he had always maintained a relatively calm state of mind.

The thing that gave him the most confidence was the conversation he had with Lu chaoxi. A few days after their conversation, he had carefully thought about this matter and felt that his chances were much higher than his nephew's.

In that case, what was there to worry about?

Especially in the later stages, the Lu clan suddenly reduced everyone's freedom and did not allow the Li clansmen who were being watched to run around freely. They were originally allowed to move around the mansion, but now they were not allowed to leave this small room.

To li Chengzong, he naturally felt more at ease. Even if Li Xuanhao had other tricks up his sleeve, he couldn't even leave this ten-foot room. What was there to talk about?

Since he couldn't go out of this small room, li Chengzong could only stay in peace during this period of time. He sat cross-legged on the futon for a long time, cultivating in peace. He was as calm as an old dog and didn't panic at all. He was just waiting for the Lu family to inform him about becoming the Emperor.

It had been his dream for many, many years to inherit the throne and become the Emperor. Although the way he realized it was a little different, and it was something he had never thought of before, it was still realized, wasn't it?

Thinking of this, he was a little excited!

He waited like this for a few days. One day, li Chengzong heard a sound outside his door. Then, he heard a knock on his door.

A slightly familiar voice was heard, Your Highness, May I come in?

After thinking for a while, li Chengzong recalled who this voice belonged to. It should be Lu Wenen.

He was a little excited. It was finally coming!

These were the outsiders he had seen during this period of time. The only people he had seen were those who sent regular supplies, such as spirit food, pills, and the like, at regular intervals. Although he was also a cultivator of the Lu clan, he was only at the foundation establishment stage. At best, he was just an ordinary Clansman and did not have a high status.

However, Lu Wenen was different.

According to li Chengzong's knowledge, Lu Wenen's cultivation base and talent were all above average in the Lu clan. His status was not low. Otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with such an important task and sent to Yan city to investigate the faceless society.

Since he had personally come over, he must have something important to tell him.

Perhaps this was what he had been looking forward to?

Li Chengzong's heart began to burn.

Lu Wenen had a gentle smile on his face. after discussion, the Lu family, Qingfeng sect, and Yunxiao sect have decided that Your Highness will inherit the throne in five days.

When he heard the words inherit the throne, the joy in li Chengzong's heart gushed out like a fountain.

No matter how certain he was before, he would still feel a little uneasy before this matter was settled.

Now, he finally had a calming pill to eat.

However, he felt that something was not right. He asked, You're going to inherit the throne in five days? Wasn't it a little too rushed? In such a short time, can we make preparations?

It was normal for li Chengzong to have such doubts. Although he had never personally witnessed the scene of his father li Shiwen inheriting the throne. However, according to the records in some ancient books, the ceremony of Great Yan's Emperor's succession to the throne should be Grand and complicated. Obviously, it was impossible to prepare everything in just a few days.

Lu Wen explained, things are urgent. We don't have that much time to prepare. After some discussion, we decided to postpone the decision on this matter. It can be ignored for the time being. The most important thing is to settle the title first.

Li Chengzong also expressed his understanding.

It was indeed a critical period. He could understand the Lu clan and Yunxiao sect's desire to settle things as soon as possible. For this reason, it was not unacceptable to ignore some red tape.

However, Lu Wenen's next words made his heart instantly turn cold.

The preparation time was very short, and it was indeed a little rushed. However, Your Highness, you don't need such a grand ceremony for your succession. After all, the more important matter is the abdication ceremony in three months.

Abdication ceremony? What did the abdication ceremony mean?

Li Chengzong's entire body went numb. He suspected that he had misheard something.

On the other hand, Lu Wenen's expression did not change much. He still had that gentle smile on his face. But in li Chengzong's eyes, this smile was so hateful.

He suddenly stood up from the futon and glared at Lu Wenen. The spirit energy in his entire body was boiling together with his emotions, as if he was about to attack in anger at any moment.

Your Highness, please calm your anger. You should know that no one in the country of Yan could object to the decision made by Yunxiao sect and Qingfeng sect. If your Highness doesn't want to be the Emperor for these three months, we can go to the Imperial grandson Li Xuanhao. If Li Xuanhao was also unwilling, there were so many people in the Li clan, and there would definitely be one who was willing. If you're not willing to accept any one of them, then you can just find someone from the Li family and be the Emperor for the next three months.

I'll give you a piece of advice, Your Highness. A wise man submits to circumstances. You'll be the Emperor for three months, and in the future, you'll even become the patriarch of the Li clan. After abdication, he would be conferred the title of Duke anle, and at least he would be able to enjoy wealth. If you don't do it, you might not even be able to live past three months. As for the choice, please consider it for yourself, Your Highness. I'll ask you again in the evening, and I hope that Your Highness can give me a clear answer by then.

After saying this, Lu Wenen didn't say anything more to li Chengzong. He turned around and left.

As he watched Lu Wenen leave, li Chengzong, who had been furious and furious just a moment ago, felt as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out. Without any strength left in his body, he fell back and sat on the ground.

Lu Wenen's words had dealt him a huge blow.

Li Chengzong had never imagined that abdication, usurping of the throne, and changing dynasties would actually happen. This was like a brain teasers to him, and it touched the blind spot of his thinking. Before this, he had not even thought about it in this direction.

Even though Lu Wenen did not say who he should abdicate to, he could easily guess who it was after the blind spot in his thinking was pointed out. The person he abdicated to should be a member of the Lu family, but it was hard to say which Lu family it was.

But who it was, what did it have to do with him?

The emperor's position that was firmly in his hands was gone.

Oh, it wasn't that there was no more. In fact, he was still going to be the Emperor. It was just that he would be the Emperor for three months. It would be a transition. Abdication was better than snatching it by force. The beautiful dream of thousands of generations had been completely shattered. He wouldn't even be allowed to be a puppet emperor.

No matter what, li Chengzong had never expected that he would become The Last Emperor of the Li Dynasty in the great Yan Kingdom before he became the Emperor.

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more uncomfortable he felt. On such a hot day, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, his hands and feet were cold, and his tears flowed down.

In the evening, Lu Wenen arrived on time as he had previously said.

After half a day of calm, li Chengzong had also calmed down and thought things through.

When Lu Wenen had come to look for him today, he had been very polite and even said things like I'll wait for your reply tonight'. However, li Chengzong knew very well that he had no choice.

Even if he suddenly changed his personality and decided to die to prove his will not to be The Last Emperor, not to be the slightly insulting Duke an le', he could not stop the change of dynasty in the Yan Kingdom, from the Li Dynasty to the Lu dynasty.

It was just a change of person to take on the role.

Then I'll be the Duke of an le' myself.

After getting a clear answer, Lu Wenen chatted with the Crown Prince for a while before he left.

To be honest, Lu Wenen did not have any ill feelings toward li Chengzong. In fact, five or six years ago, when he had first arrived in Yan city, he had more or less received some care from li Chengzong.

However, this matter had nothing to do with his personal feelings. Lu Wenen could not possibly turn his back on his family's stance.

Moreover, in terms of personal feelings, they weren't that deep.

Lu Wenen had been extremely busy for the past few days. The two times he had come to see li Chengzong today was really to take some time out of his busy schedule.

He could be considered as the person most familiar with the situation in Yan city in the Lu family. Not only had he stayed in Yan city for more than six years, but he had also been the left supervisor of the court for many years. During his term, he led a team in Yan city and was quite active, investigating cases and looking for clues everywhere. He had a deep understanding of the entire Yan city, be it the geographical environment or the various complicated forces.

But now, 20000 cultivators of the Feiyun state were stationed in the Yan capital, and 300 cultivators of the Lu clan's direct line of descent had come, which was almost the entire nest. With the five golden core cultivators of the Feiyun state, their strength was enough to crush the current Yan city.

But no matter what, the nature of the guest Army could not escape.

In the short term, it would be difficult for the Lu family to figure out who would be their enemies and who would be their friends. The various complicated political forces were enough to give people a headache.

However, li Chengzong's Ascension ceremony in five days and the abdication ceremony in three months couldn't be delayed.

In order to prevent anyone from secretly causing trouble, Lu Wenen had to shoulder the responsibility.

First, he had to make sure that the Ascension ceremony in five days was normal. Secondly, the matter three months later was even more difficult.

For this, he had borrowed many people from his family and the Qingfeng sect.

The first thing he would do was to reorganize the Supreme Court.

This was the last official armed force in Yan city, apart from the guards and the Imperial Guards.

At the same time, due to the special nature of the Supreme Court, this team was of great significance to the security and stability maintenance work in the future.
