Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1350 - 1040: Is it really you? Are you still alive?
Chapter 1350 -1040: Is it really you? Are you still alive?
Upon hearing the peculiar tone in the elder’s voice within the grand hall, Pei Wenfu’s face instantly darkened.
How could he not discern that this old thing was mocking him?
Pei Wenfu glanced at the elder, then coldly asked, “I wonder what good solutions Minister Pei has?”
Pei Nian, unperturbed, said, “The Great Sum Dynasty is coming with great force, occupying the Biyun Star Domain in such a short time, clearly aiming to annihilate us.”
“Even if Your Majesty proposes negotiations, the other side won’t agree. We should abandon our illusions, not think of compromising again like we did with the Qingyun Dynasty.”
Pei Nian was a follower of Pei Shuhua and also a member of the royal family. When Pei Shuhua’s coup failed, Pei Wenfu purged many of Shuhua’s associates but left some.
Most of the royal family stood with Pei Shuhua. If Pei Wenfu had purged them all, there would be no one left in the royal family.
It was because Pei Wenfu spared some that these royal members would occasionally jump out to disgust him, which greatly annoyed Pei Wenfu.
He had killed countless members of the royal family, yet there were always more, fearless of death.
Seeing Pei Wenfu’s face sink to the extreme, the guardian envoy who was previously reprimanded by Pei Nian hurriedly spoke, “Pei Nian, what do you mean by this? Are you questioning His Majesty’s authority?”
“If not for His Majesty’s mercy back then, you would have long been dead. How dare you spout such nonsense here!”
“You know the strength of the Great Sum Dynasty, yet you want the Chiyue Dynasty to confront them head-on? What is your true intent?”
At this, the guardian envoy made a deep bow towards Pei Wenfu on the dragon throne, saying, “Your Majesty, Pei Nian harbors ill intentions. I implore Your Majesty to investigate Pei Nian thoroughly!”
As his words fell, many ministers in the hall echoed, “We implore Your Majesty to investigate Pei Nian thoroughly!”
Pei Nian looked coldly at the guardian envoy, not caring about his impeachment.
Pei Wenfu glanced at Pei Nian and said expressionlessly, “Minister Pei, your days are numbered. It’s best to stay home and enjoy your remaining years. No need to worry about state affairs.”
Hearing this, Pei Nian did not argue and directly said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. The old minister takes his leave.”
With that, Pei Nian turned and left the hall.
Seeing that this hardliner had already left, the remaining ministers naturally understood their emperor’s current stance. Soon, Pei Wenfu and the ministers reached a consensus for the Chiyue Dynasty to submit to the Great Sum Dynasty.
After the court meeting, some royal family members came to Pei Nian’s residence. A member with a bitter expression asked, “Uncle, what should we do now? His Majesty has decided to submit to the Great Sum Dynasty.”
Anyone with eyes could see that the Great Sum Dynasty aimed to destroy the Chiyue Dynasty, yet that foolish emperor still thought of selling out the country for personal gain.
Pei Nian sighed deeply, “His decisions are beyond our control.”
“He knows better than anyone what the Great Sum Dynasty intends. The so-called negotiation is just a ploy to use the Dynast Qi Fortune to secure his throne.”
A royal member spoke, “Once His Majesty truly submits to the Great Sum Dynasty, the Chiyue Dynasty will completely lose the people’s heart. His action will only hasten the downfall of the Chiyue Dynasty.”
As members of the royal family, they could sense the rapid decline of the Chiyue Dynasty’s fortune. The people were increasingly disappointed in the dynasty and the royal family.
Once disappointment turned into despair, and the Chiyue Dynasty lost the people’s heart, its fortune would be easily stripped by other dynasties. Without the Dynast Qi Fortune, the Chiyue Dynasty would collapse.
They knew a dynasty without a Great Emperor could hardly resist an attack from a power that had one, but they did not want to see the Chiyue Dynasty fall to ruin.
Even if there was a sliver of hope, they were willing to try. As royal members, their fortune was tied to the Dynast Qi Fortune.
Once the Chiyue Dynasty perished and the Dynast Qi Fortune dissipated, their fortune would also quickly fade. Without it, even if the Pei Family survived, their future would be increasingly difficult.
This is why the descendants of most fallen dynasties have bleak fates.
After a moment of contemplation, Pei Nian said, “No, we cannot let His Majesty succeed. I must personally go to the front line to resist the Great Sum invasion!”
Since Pei Wenfu dared not wage war with the Great Sum Dynasty, the royal family must step forward. They must not bow to another dynasty again; they had to rally the hearts of the Chiyue Dynasty and stabilize its Dynast Qi Fortune.
Pei Nian thought, since he had no hope of breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm in this life and his time was almost up, he might as well die on the battlefield.
For the past few years, Pei Wenfu had the backing of the Qingyun Dynasty, and he did not dare openly oppose him. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
But now, even Feng Tengfei had fled, and it was clear that the Qingyun Dynasty could not afford to offend the Great Sum Dynasty. With no one behind Pei Wenfu, why should he fear such a minor Saint?
Immediately, Pei Nian gathered a large group of royal family members and led troops to the front line overnight. They knew they were unlikely to be a match for the Great Sum Dynasty, but they could not let Pei Wenfu’s plan succeed. Their deaths did not matter.
As long as these royal members appeared on the battlefield, they would be seen by the people of the Chiyue Dynasty, and those loyal to them, preventing the complete loss of their hearts.
With the people’s heart in place, the Dynast Qi Fortune would remain, and their descendants would continue to be protected by it.
Meanwhile.
Biyun Star Domain.
The Feihong Immortal Boat floated silently above the Wind Sea World. On the deck, Lu Chen glanced at the dozen or so Quasi-Emperors before him and asked with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid Moon Emperor will let the Qingyun Dynasty hold you accountable for betraying the Chiyue Dynasty?”
A Quasi-Emperor replied, “What’s there to fear? If His Majesty Pei Wenfu, the ruler of the dynasty, can surrender to another, why can’t we?”
“Your choice is very wise. I accept your allegiance. Just so, I have someone I want you to meet.”
At this, Lu Chen turned and said, “Elder Pei, you may come out now.”
As Lu Chen’s words fell, Pei Tianlu’s figure slowly materialized.
Seeing Pei Tianlu, the Quasi-Emperors present were stunned.
Many of them had been personally trained by Pei Tianlu. After Pei Shuhua’s failed coup, Pei Wenfu had exiled them to the edges of the Chiyue Dynasty.
They all thought Pei Tianlu was undoubtedly dead, never expecting to see him again at this moment.
Moreover, the death qi around Pei Tianlu had dissipated, indicating he had survived his death tribulation.
A Quasi-Emperor asked in disbelief, “Your Majesty… Is it really you? Are you still alive?”
Seeing these Quasi-Emperors, Pei Tianlu felt conflicted. Many were his trainees, and now they had betrayed the Chiyue Dynasty. But then again, he had also betrayed the dynasty, so how could he blame them?
Pei Tianlu sighed deeply, “I have wronged you; the Chiyue Dynasty has wronged you.”
