Beauty and the Bodyguard

"What can't be changed? So what if the enthronement ceremony is held?"

Sima Zheng's face darkened, and he said coldly: "If you can pass the throne to Liu Ziyu, Liu Ziyu will naturally give up the throne to me! Ziyu, are you unwilling to fulfill your grandfather's wish?"

Liu Ziyu couldn't say anything. Where had he ever encountered such a scene?

There is really no way to deal with it, so I can only take a peek at the omnipotent cousin Zhongda, hoping that cousin Zhongda can solve the problem quickly.

If it were before Lin Yi passed the throne, Liu Ziyu really didn't want to be the emperor.

But now that he has become emperor, he privately does not want to hand over the throne easily.

If Lin Yi wanted to return to the throne, Liu Ziyu would definitely give up the throne without saying anything, but if it was replaced by Sima Zhengxin and Sima Yunfei... Liu Ziyu would not be willing!

He promised to canonize the three princesses as queens. No one except Lin Yi can take away the throne that belongs to him!

It's a pity that Liu Ziyu thought so in her heart, but she couldn't refuse Sima Zhengxin forcefully. After all, he was his grandfather, and he had always been very filial.

"Grandfather, please don't embarrass Ziyu. He is now the emperor. Even if he respects you, he must have a limit."

Lin Yi's expression became even colder: "In an empire, the emperor abdicates his throne every three days. Do you think it's appropriate? Will the surrounding empires still take us seriously? It's more like a joke!"

"What do you mean? Do you mean that my wanting to be the emperor is just a joke?"

Hearing this, Sima Zhengxin's old face sank, his smile disappeared completely, and he looked at Lin Yi with cold eyes: "Sima Yi, it's enough for everyone to know some things, and I don't want to reveal too much! But if you force me , then don’t blame me for setting you up!”

From the bottom? Why?

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his pupils.

Sima Zhengxin's words made Lin Yi have many bad associations.

Especially the fact that Sima Zhengxin called out the name Sima Yi instead of Sima Zhongda, who was used to it, is even more illustrative!

Did he, or they, know that Lin Yi was pretending to be Sima Zhongda? !

If this matter is exposed, Lin Yi actually doesn't care, but it will definitely hurt Sima Yunqi and his wife!

They truly treat themselves as their own sons. How will they feel when they know the truth?

"Grandfather, I'm not forcing you to do anything, and don't force me either. I don't even know where to start with the so-called bottoming out!"

With a cold look in his eyes, Lin Yi looked at Sima Zhengxin indifferently, nodded slightly and said: "Since today's talk has come to this point, let's just make it clear! In order to avoid having a thorn in everyone's heart in the future."

"Hahaha! Let me ask you a few questions. First of all, when you attacked the Shanlian Empire, you encountered no resistance at the beginning. All the cities along the way surrendered directly, right?"

Also nodded, Sima Zhengxin smiled and stroked his beard in a leisurely manner: "Then who surrendered in these cities? What flags did they replace?"

Lin Yi was silent for a moment and understood what Sima Zhengxin meant: "Yes, they surrendered to Hongshang Commandery and replaced the flag of Hongshang Commandery!"

"Hahahaha, well said! You're absolutely right! What they surrendered was Hongshang Commandery, and what they replaced was the flag of Hongshang Commandery!"

Sima Zheng laughed heartily with his hands in his hands, his old face full of pride: "Since you admit it, then answer me again, in what capacity did you turn these surrendered cities of Hongshang Commandery into the new empire? From the country? Have you ever come to ask me, the prince of Hongshang County?"

The people behind Lin Yi silently despised Sima Zhengxin. This old guy is so shameless!

Who doesn't know that the cities along the way surrendered because Lin Yi brought the blood ghost?

In other words, they are all surrendered Lin Yi, not some shitty Hongshang Commandery!

If someone else, no matter who it is from the Sima family, brings 80,000 or even 800,000 people, will they surrender?

Maybe just beat the people from the Sima family to shit!

Everyone present knew this truth, but none of them could express it.

There was no way, because Sima Zhengxin was right, those cities did fly the flag of Hongshang Commandery.

Theoretically speaking, they are all the territory of Hongshang County. How to deal with them really needs to be decided by Sima Zhengxin, the prince of Hongshang County.

Lin Yi looked at him coldly, but couldn't help but reply: "As the grandson of Hongshang County, I have nothing wrong with handling the territory I conquered by myself, right?"

Even if it is a bit unruly, facts speak louder than words. Without Lin Yi, Hongshang County would not even be able to get out of the Longbang Kingdom, let alone establish an empire.

"Hahahaha, grandson? How ridiculous! Let me tell you now, you are not the grandson of Hongshang County at all, nor are you a member of our Sima family!"

Sima Zhengxin suddenly realized something and made the matter completely clear: "You are just a dog raised by our Sima family. You are a general of Hongshang County. You open up our territory for us! When did a man fight for the country? General, can he turn the territory he conquered into his own?"

Got a piece of grass! That makes sense!

Although the melon-eating people around him were very unhappy with Sima Zheng, they felt unable to refute what he said.

If Lin Yi was just a general of Hongshang Commandery, no matter how large a territory he led his troops to conquer, it would still be Hongshang Commandery's territory, not his own!

Now that Lin Yi has established the Hongshang Empire, to put it seriously, he is relying on his own troops and then betraying his motherland!

A heroic emperor who established a huge empire was directly called a traitor. This is a big gap!

"Father, please don't talk nonsense! Zhongda is the son of Erchen. Although he founded the Hongshang Empire, that cannot erase the fact that he is a descendant of our Sima family!"

Sima Yunqi was a little anxious as he held his fists and marched out of the queue!

He attaches great importance to the concept of family. Not to mention that Lin Yi has passed the throne to Liu Ziyu. Even if he has not passed the throne, he is still the emperor of the Hongshang Empire. Sima Yunqi still hopes that Lin Yi will be a descendant of the Sima family first!

"Father, regarding the throne, we can sit down and discuss it behind closed doors. We are all a family and there is nothing we can't talk about. But we can't deny Zhongda because of this!"

Sima Yunqi said it more tactfully.

In fact, I felt that Sima Zhengxin might really be old and confused!

For such an outstanding family member, Sima Zhengxin actually said that Sima Zhongda was not from the Sima family for the sake of the throne?

What are you thinking about? He is really not a descendant of the Sima family, and it is even less possible for him to hand over the throne!
