Chapter 420: Royal Succession

to worry about that now.The water prison was dark and damp, with only a tiny tung oil lamp the size of a thumb illuminating the place. The air itself felt thick and heavy, perhaps because the water he..."Sister, the more I listen, the more confused I become." Yisheng let out a sigh. He usually thought he was quite smart, but ever since he started spending time with Qin Luoyan, there were so many things he couldn't understand.

Qin Luo'yan smiled faintly, extending her finger to tap on Yixing's brow. "Think about it, even though the emperor was so powerful back then, he could still eliminate your father. There must have been someone behind him. Those who could interfere with the succession of royal families from various countries would only be a few hidden families. Now that the emperor is trapped, and the Man Country's royal family is on the verge of extinction, the emperor represents not only the royal family but also the power of those hidden families. At this time, it's impossible for the hidden families behind him to pretend they can't see what's happening and just hand over their power to others. They definitely won't. So I think people from the hidden families should make a move soon. As long as they come, I have a way to strike a deal with them. If we have the help of people from the mysterious families, wouldn't it be easier for us to escape"

Her words finally allowed Xu Hou and Yisheng, who were in the fog, to understand. However, Yisheng still couldn't help but ask: "Sister, do you know which family will come"

Qin Luoyan pondered for a moment and said, "I think people from three families will come. However, the one who will help the Man Kingdom royal family should be only one, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Shonan Ling family, because their power is closest to here. Ling Hao being able to act so recklessly in the Man Kingdom should be because there is a royal family backing him."

"Sister, I think you make a lot of sense." Yisheng gave Qin Luoyan a thumbs-up, which made her chuckle softly.

"Actually, if you just connect the dots between what happened before and after, it's not hard to guess. When Wing grows up, he will definitely be better at analyzing the situation than me." Qin Luoyan encouraged.

Yisheng nodded. "Well, I'll study hard. But sister, Ling Hao's death and your involvement are a big deal. Even if the Ling family comes, they might not form an alliance with you..."

“What does this have to do with anything” Qin Luoyan seemed to have expected this, so she calmly explained: “Didn’t I just say it The other two families will also be coming. Since the Ling family wants to hold onto the power of the barbaric kingdom royal family, the other two families will definitely cause trouble. Me forming an alliance with the other two families is no different, is it”

Hearing this, Xu Hou and Yi Sheng finally completely surrendered.

"What a brilliant woman!" Even Xu Hou couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

Qin Luoyan only had a smile in her eyes and brows, her demeanor gentle. She didn't at all seem proud of her own analysis.

As several people were talking, the carriage slowly came to a halt. Someone ahead of the carriage seemed to shout, “We’ve arrived at Yonghe Palace.”

In a short while, Zuo Cheng walked to the carriage himself and addressed the person inside: "Little Emperor, Yi Sheng, come down and meet your uncle the emperor."

Xu Houxian dismounted first, then helped Yisheng and Qin Luoyan down. The three stood before the carriage and saw the scene.

At a glance, the scene before him was a sea of heads, black and dense as ink. The Yonghe Palace was completely surrounded, and every soldier's face bore the joy of imminent victory.

The gates of Yonghe Palace had been shattered, and inside, soldiers were arrayed in three layers within and three layers without, ready for battle. However, compared to the soldiers outside, those inside wore grim expressions, with some younger ones even having tears welling up in their eyes.

Zhao Cheng's hand rested on the long sword at his waist as he strode towards the palace gate. Yi Sheng followed behind him under Xu Hou's protection, while Qin Luo Yan walked carefully at the end.

"Your Majesty, come out. Your nephew has come to pay his respects." Although Zuocheng's words were polite, his tone was dripping with disdain.

Inside the palace gate, among the crowd, someone helped a frail man forward. The man was about thirty years old, and his features bore a striking resemblance to Yi Sheng's. He wore a yellow dragon robe, his shrunken eyes glanced towards the entrance, and when he saw Yi Sheng, there was obvious excitement in his eyes.

"You, you are truly the son of my imperial brother" The Man Country Emperor spoke, though his breath was weak, he still had a few points of majesty.

Yisheng nodded and looked at the Emperor of Man with strange eyes. Logically speaking, it was this man who killed his biological father, he should hate him. But when he thought of his father raping his mother to preserve the bloodline, doing such beastly things, he felt some resentment towards his father. Therefore, facing the Emperor of Man, he didn't have too many emotions.

There's no hate, no love, just the feeling of pity watching a stranger struggle.

The Emperor of Man sighed, not scolding Yisheng, but simply helplessly saying: "I didn't expect him to leave behind descendants, it's a pity...never mind, if heaven wants to destroy my Man nation, then I have nothing to do about it."

At this time, such cowardly words should not come from the mouth of a monarch. After all, to give up resistance when a country is on the verge of collapse is more shameful than the collapse itself.

Yi Sheng grew increasingly disgusted with the emperor before him. "Where is heaven A person's destiny should be in their own hands. You are in this state now, isn't it because of the seeds you sowed You don't have the ability to be an emperor, so why did you even try to seize that position You got it, but could you hold onto it"

The emperor of the Na Man kingdom was clearly struck by what Yisheng had said. He looked at the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with a difference, completely unprepared to hear such words from a young boy's mouth.

Throughout history, the changing of dynasties has always been accompanied by bloodshed. Many people still debate whether this process was too cruel. But hearing the young man speak like this, that brutality and bloodshed were not just a means for the royal family to choose an heir. A person who can shoulder a nation must be able to withstand such storms. If they cannot bear the blood and rain, how can they protect a nation

Therefore, a monarch, regardless of how he ascended to the throne, once seated upon it, represents a manifestation of power. Throughout history, countless emperors have perished due to their ascension being too effortless. They were like flowers cultivated in a greenhouse, lacking hardship and failing to appreciate or safeguard their position.

So, when he initially gained the dominion of the barbarian state through outside forces, did he sow the seeds for his own destruction Because his inherent strength was insufficient, he either had to be subservient to others or, just like Zocheng, be overthrown by figures like him.

Yingsheng's words, not only shocked the Emperor of Man Kingdom, but also thoroughly astonished the ministers who heard him speak. Who would have thought that a young boy could see through such major issues more clearly than those of them who had served in the court for a lifetime
