“What can’t be changed? So what if the Ascension ceremony has been carried out?”
Sima Zheng’s face sank and he said coldly,””If you can pass your position to Liu Ziyu, then Liu Ziyu can naturally give it to me! Ziyu, are you also unwilling to fulfill maternal grandfather’s wish?”
Liu Ziyu was at a loss for words. When had he ever encountered such a situation?
He really couldn’t deal with it, so he could only secretly look at the omnipotent cousin Zhong da and hope that he would quickly resolve this matter.
Liu Ziyu really didn’t want to be Emperor before Lin Yi passed the throne to him.
But now that he had become the Emperor, he did not want to hand over the throne so easily.
If Lin Yi wanted the throne back, Liu Ziyu would give it up without a second thought, but if it was Sima zhengxin and Sima Yunfei … Liu Ziyu was not willing!
He promised to make the third Princess the Empress, and no one could take the throne away from him except Lin Yi!
It was a pity that although Liu Ziyu thought so in his heart, he couldn’t reject Sima zhengxin with his mouth. After all, that was his maternal grandfather, and he had always been very filial.
“Imperial grandfather, don’t make things difficult for Ziyu. He’s already the Emperor. Even if he respects you, there’s a limit.”
Lin Yi’s face turned even colder,”do you think it’s appropriate for an Emperor to abdicate his throne every two or three days?” Will the surrounding empires still take us seriously? It’s more like a joke!”
“What do you mean? Are you saying that my desire to be the Emperor is a joke?”
Hearing that, Sima zhengxin’s old face darkened, and the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at Lin Yi coldly,””Sima Yi, there are some things that we just need to know in our hearts. I don’t want to expose too much either! But if you force me, then don’t blame me for giving you a hard time!”
Bottom? What base?
Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Sima zhengxin’s words made Lin Yi have a lot of bad thoughts.
Especially when Sima Zheng Xin called out the name Sima Yi, and not the Sima Zhong da that he was used to, it explained the problem even more!
Did he, or maybe they, know that Lin Yi was impersonating Sima Zhongda?
If this matter was exposed, Lin Yi didn’t really care, but it would definitely hurt Sima Yunqi and his wife!
They truly treated him like their own son. How would they feel after they found out the truth?
“Imperial grandfather, I didn’t force you, so don’t force me. I don’t even know where to start!”
Lin Yi’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Sima zhengxin indifferently and nodded,””Since we’ve already said this much, let’s just make it clear! It’s to avoid having a thorn in everyone’s heart in the future. ”
“Hehehe! First of all, when you attacked the Shanlian Empire, you didn’t encounter any resistance at the beginning, and the cities along the way surrendered, right?”
Nodding his head, Sima zhengxin smiled and stroked his beard,””Then who surrendered? And what flag did they change?”
Lin Yi was silent for a moment and understood what Sima zhengxin meant,””That’s right. They surrendered to Hongshang Commandery and changed their flag to that of Hongshang Commandery!”
“Hahahaha, well said! He was absolutely right! They surrendered to Hongshang Commandery and changed their flag to that of Hongshang Commandery!”
Sima zhengxin clapped his hands and laughed, his old face full of pride,””Since you have admitted it, then answer me again. In what capacity did you turn these cities that surrendered to Hongshang Commandery into the territory of the new empire? Have you ever come to ask me, the Commandery Prince of Hongshang Commandery?”
The people behind Lin Yi all looked at Sima zhengxin in disdain. This old man was really shameless!
Who didn’t know that the cities along the way only surrendered because Lin Yi had blood ghost with him?
In other words, they were all Lin Yi who surrendered, not some bullsh * t Hongshang Commandery!
If it was someone else, no matter who it was in the Sima clan, if they brought eighty thousand or even eight hundred thousand people, would they surrender?
He might even beat the Sima clan’s people into dog shit!
Everyone present understood this logic, but they couldn’t say it out loud.
It couldn’t be helped, because Sima Zheng Xin was right. Those cities did hang the flag of Hongshang Commandery.
In theory, they were all in the territory of Hongshang Commandery. How to deal with them, it was indeed up to Sima zhengxin, the Commandery Prince of Hongshang Commandery, to decide.
Lin Yi’s eyes were cold, but he had to answer,”As the grandson of the royal family of Hongshang Commandery, there’s nothing wrong with me handling the territory that I’ve conquered personally, right?”
Even if it was against the rules, facts spoke louder than words. Without Lin Yi, Hongshang Commandery wouldn’t even be able to walk out of the Dragon state, let alone build an empire.
“Hahahaha, grandson of the king? What a joke! Then I’ll tell you now, you’re not the Royal grandson of Hongshang Commandery, nor are you a member of our Sima clan!”
Sima zhengxin suddenly revealed his true intentions and laid everything out,””You’re just a dog raised by our Sima clan. You’re a general of Hongshang Commandery who helped us expand our territory! When did a general who fought for the country become his own?”
He grabbed a blade of grass! What he said made so much sense!
Although the surrounding onlookers were very unhappy with Sima Zheng, they couldn’t refute him after hearing what he said.
If Lin Yi was just a general in Hongshang Commandery, no matter how big the territory he took down, it would still belong to Hongshang Commandery, not him!
Now that Lin Yi had established the Hongshang Empire, to put it more seriously, he’d be using his own army to carry himself with dignity and then betray his country!
A heroic Emperor who had established a huge Empire was directly called a traitor. This was a huge contrast!
“Father, you can’t say such things! Zhong da is your son’s child. Although he established the Hong Shang Empire, that doesn’t erase the fact that he is a descendant of our Sima clan!”
Cupping his fists, Sima Yun was starting to get anxious!
He valued the concept of family. Not to mention that Lin Yi had already passed the throne to Liu Ziyu, even if he wasn’t the Emperor of the Hong Shang Empire, Sima Yunqi still hoped that Lin Yi would first be a member of the Sima family!
“Father, regarding the matter of the throne, we can sit down behind closed doors and discuss it properly. We’re all one family, and there’s nothing we can’t talk about. You can’t deny Zhong da because of this!”
Sima Yunqi was more tactful with his words.
In reality, she felt that Sima zhengxin might really be old and muddled!
For such an outstanding member of the clan, Sima Zheng Xin actually said that Sima Zhong da was no longer a member of the Sima clan for the sake of the throne?
What was she thinking? If he really wasn’t a disciple of the Sima clan, it was even more impossible for him to hand over the throne!
