Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 726

He had no ability to govern the country at that time. The government was controlled by the empress dowager and court officials, and the people were suffering.

Emperor Yong's ascension to the throne was actually a good thing for the people.

Speaking of legitimacy, Emperor Yong was also qualified because he was the son of Prince Ying.

If it weren't for the shameless Emperor Long who framed Prince Ying, the short-lived Emperor Heng would not have appeared in the history of Liang.

What Cen Yuan puts first is the people and human lives, not supreme power.

Even if he inherited the memories of his original body, he still had no sense of belonging to the Liang Kingdom.

What's more, his original body was Emperor Yong's biological son.

This is why Cen Yuan would rather flee or stay with Shi Anxia and never thought about taking back the throne.

What's the point of going back to fight for power? A fight between father and son is a loss for both.

Aren't the people the ones who suffer in the end?

Shi Anxia suddenly understood why Cen Yuan had stayed in the North Wing.

It was not because he was trapped in love, but because he never thought about taking back the throne and pushing the people into the abyss of fire.

But eight years later, the State of Liang fell into chaos.

She reached out her hand and gently covered his hand, looking up at his handsome features with her clear eyes, "Although I don't remember you, but...if you hadn't escaped back to Liang, even if I had been more capable, Beiyi would have perished."

She has no memory.

But every time she thought of those two sentences: If I live, I will come back; if I die, I will miss you forever, she would feel very sad and her eyes would be filled with tears.

It's him!

He saved the entire North Wing!

A man who didn't want to be emperor fought back for the sake of Beiyi's mountains and rivers!

If she doesn't marry such a man, who else would she marry?

Cen Yuan's eyes were so warm in the candlelight, and his big hand gently covered her small hand.

Seeing her tearful eyes, he smiled tenderly, "Xia Xia, don't cry. I went to Liang for Bei Yi and for the people of Liang to fulfill my duty."

The war was also a dire strait for the State of Liang.

Forced conscription meant that some people would be caught by soldiers and taken to fight just walking on the street.

The people lived in fear all day, not knowing whether they would be able to see their loved ones the next moment.

The ambitions of those in power never concern the lives of the people.

Shi Anxia asked, "Eight years later, what happened to Emperor Yong? Why did he mess up the country so badly?"

"Him!" Cen Yuan sneered, "That man is no longer satisfied with being an emperor, he wants to pursue immortality."

Eight years later, Emperor Yong began to pursue immortality. By chance, he met an alchemist and learned some secrets about the fairyland.

Emperor Yong was very interested in this alchemist and doted on him. He not only rewarded him with thousands of acres of fertile land and countless gold, silver and jewelry, but also married one of his princesses to the alchemist.

In other words, eight years later, Emperor Yong stopped caring about affairs and the State of Liang began to fall into chaos.

The alchemist was favored and often interfered in government affairs. Gradually, the State of Liang fell into the hands of the alchemist.

The people are living in misery.

The loyal ministers of Liang were imprisoned or beheaded by the alchemists, leaving only a group of treacherous ministers in power.

After being reborn, Cen Yuan doesn't want to go back to the passive path of his previous life.

He had to take the initiative to regain the throne, save the people of Liang from danger, and avoid the outbreak of war.

But he was afraid that the fight for the throne would hurt innocent people, and wanted to minimize the losses, so he chose the time point eight years later.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. He has actually been planning for more than two years.

He wanted to decisively take back Liang State when Emperor Yong just took the wrong path.

His eyes were burning, "Xia Xia, when I take back Liang State, will you be my queen?"
