The system notification sounded, and based on past experience, Xia Taige knew that the Xia Emperor in front of him was serious this time!
Perhaps in the heart of the Xia Emperor, he always believed that it was the Xia clan that dominated the Great Xia Dynasty, rather than the Great Xia Dynasty that brought prosperity to the Xia clan.
As long as the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty is still a member of the Xia clan, that's fine.
With this thought in mind, Xia Taige looked at the exhausted Emperor Xia before him and couldn't help but speak:
"Has Father truly made the decision to abdicate?"
"Facts have proven that you are more suitable to be emperor than I am, so what's the point of me holding onto power?"
"As long as the Great Xia can be revitalized, everything will be worthwhile!"
Emperor Xia stopped and turned to look at Xia Taige, offering a gentle word of comfort.
At this moment, Emperor Xia truly relinquished the throne.
Upon hearing this, Xia Taige looked at Emperor Xia, his heart filled with mixed emotions. In his memory, he had never seen an emperor who delegated power so much.
Throughout history, which emperor did not hold imperial power firmly in his own hands? He would never abdicate the throne to someone else, not even his own son, until his death.
But now, it is rare in history for Emperor Xia to take the initiative to abdicate while he is in his prime.
Perhaps from this perspective, Emperor Xia was truly unsuitable to be the ruler of a country.
"Your subject will obey Your Majesty's arrangements."
Seeing this, Xia Taige had no choice but to agree, knowing he would have to work harder in the future.
Whether or not Xia Taige ascends the throne does not actually have a significant impact on him. When Xia Taige is the crown prince, the power he possesses is no different from that of the Xia emperor.
On the contrary, after ascending the throne, he will be troubled by some trivial matters.
Of course, he would definitely ascend the throne, since the rise and fall of the Great Xia Dynasty was related to Xia Taige's life and fortune.
When the Great Xia Dynasty prospered, the Xia Taige (a type of folk song) also prospered; when the Great Xia Dynasty perished, the Xia Taige also perished.
In a situation where everyone prospers or suffers together, Xia Taige would never hand over the throne to someone else.
"In that case, after I consult with the Ancestral Master today, I will announce the abdication edict to all civil and military officials at the morning court tomorrow!"
"It's also to take advantage of your momentum after eliminating the Great Thunderclap Temple, so that we can govern more quickly and effectively!"
"At that time, all ceremonies should be simplified. All the rituals for worshipping Heaven and Earth and the ancestral temples that can be canceled should be canceled. You can make up for them properly when you unify the Chinese continent in the future!"
"At present, the Great Xia is at its peak, and we should not waste time on these trivial matters!"
Clearly, the Xia Emperor had full confidence that Xia Taige would unify the Chinese continent after ascending the throne.
He feared that every day he remained in power would delay Xia Taige's unification of the Chinese mainland.
Hearing this, Xia Taige was speechless, and looking at the somewhat relieved Xia Emperor in front of her, she said irritably:
"Father, even if the abdication ceremony is rushed, it can't be decided tomorrow!"
"Besides, Father is in such good health, why is there such a rush to abdicate?"
Even if you're dreaming about life after retirement, you still have to follow the rules.
Such a sudden succession led the uninformed public to believe that Xia Taige had forced the emperor to abdicate.
Sure enough, people are happiest in the days following their decision to resign.
They wouldn't even endure one more day, and the emperor was no exception.
"Enough with the nonsense. I understand. The matter is settled. I will take care of the rest!"
The Emperor Xia ignored Xia Taige's complaints and immediately made a decision on this matter concerning the entire world without giving Xia Taige any chance to react.
"Wei Yong, draft the decree!" Emperor Xia shouted, startling Wei Yong, who had been keeping his head down and trying to minimize his presence.
"Yes!" Wei Yong replied quickly upon seeing this.
After Emperor Xia abdicated, Wei Yong naturally had to follow suit.
This time, Wei Yong suffered an undeserved misfortune.
The abdication edict was quite complicated. Normally, the Xia emperor would need to consult the ancestral temple before he could issue it.
Moreover, there is an ancestor among the Xia family members, so it is necessary to consult him before making this decision.
However, Emperor Xia knew in his heart that the ancestor listened to Xia Taige's every word, and if it were said that the throne should be passed to Xia Taige, the ancestor would definitely agree without hesitation.
It seems that this matter has never been mentioned before, perhaps because Emperor Xia is Xia Taige's biological father.
After a short while, Wei Yong finished drafting the abdication edict and quickly showed it to Emperor Xia.
After glancing at it, Emperor Xia took out the large seal and engraved it on.
Then, Emperor Xia looked at Wei Yong and gave the order:
"Issue the decree that no one should be absent from the morning court tomorrow, and all members of the imperial clan must also be present."
"All princes in the capital who have not yet gone to their fiefdoms must attend the morning court session tomorrow; no one may be absent!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Taige exclaimed, "Good heavens! Is Emperor Xia treating the morning court session like an abdication ceremony? This is far too casual!"
Before Xia Taige could say anything, Wei Yong nodded in agreement, then turned and left the main hall to deliver the imperial decree.
Helpless, Xia Taige heard a system notification sound in his mind the instant the Xia Emperor's seal was affixed.
Without even looking, Xia Taige knew that the mission was complete.
"Let's go, come with me to the imperial mausoleum to see the ancestor and report this matter to him."
No sooner had the Xia Emperor finished speaking than a voice suddenly rang out.
"No need, I'll come myself!" With that, the Great Xia Ancestor appeared in the main hall.
"Greetings, Ancestor!" Upon seeing this, Emperor Xia and Xia Taige bowed and greeted the Ancestor.
The Xia Emperor held the Great Xia Ancestor in high esteem. Without his presence, the Great Xia Dynasty would likely have long since fallen apart.
Seeing this, the old ancestor waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for further formalities.
Upon seeing the ancestor arrive, Emperor Xia was about to speak to the ancestor to report something when the ancestor waved his hand to stop him.
"The Ancestor knows everything he needs to know. Just do things your way."
After the Great Xia Ancestor finished speaking, he turned to look at Xia Taige and asked:
"Should we take advantage of the coronation and the talk of national destiny to reveal the strength of the terrestrial immortals?"
"Now that the Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple has passed away, the realm of terrestrial immortals is vacant. I believe this is the best time!"
Upon hearing these words from the Great Xia Ancestor, the Xia Emperor was stunned. He stared wide-eyed at the two people in front of him, momentarily unable to react.
Isn't your son a little too outstanding?
A terrestrial paradise? When did that happen? They've been keeping it a secret for far too long!
What an unfamiliar term! Emperor Xia never imagined that Xia Taige would be a powerful being at the Land Immortal Realm.
Before Emperor Xia could even ask, Xia Taige shook his head and said:
"It's not the right time yet. Right now, Great Xia is in the eye of the storm, and it's not good to try to gain attention now!"
"Moreover, even if the strength of a terrestrial immortal is accidentally revealed in the future, I think the Great Xia at that time will not fear anything."
"There's no need to rush to reveal our strength and compete for that vacant position!"
