【Rebirth】Emperor's favorite

After glancing at the battle report, Tuoba Yi directly overturned the table and said angrily:

"Where did that Mo Qi come from!"

Du Yu explained:

"The rebel army led by Mo Qi was formed just after Beili captured the capital. I thought it would not be a big deal, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

"Does that mean that the rebel army has only been formed for more than a month?"

"Yes."

"How many soldiers do they have in total?"

"It should be no more than 2 people."

Hearing this number, Tuoba Yi couldn't help but gasped.

Such a small number of soldiers can break through the capital, how powerful is that Mo Qi!

So Tuoba Yi sneered and said:

"Heh, it seems that he is really a rare god of war in ancient and modern times. Why didn't he stand out and be used by me before?"

Du Yu replied respectfully:

"Some people are born for troubled times. General Mo Qi is probably such a person."

At this time, an official flattered and said:

"No matter how powerful he is, won't he still have to submit to His Majesty in the future?"

"I don't think so, right? Although he hasn't ascended the throne yet and proclaimed himself emperor, he has already conquered the imperial capital after all, and sooner or later he will establish a new dynasty!"

"But Your Majesty, hasn't he already left the imperial capital to recover other cities? Now the capital must be defenseless, so let's take this opportunity and make Mo Qi a king in the future, wouldn't it be good?"

After hearing this, Tuoba Yi asked expressionlessly:

"Do other lovers have the same idea?"

Du Yu hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, this must not be done! This is not called taking advantage of the opportunity, it is clearly taking advantage of others' danger! Even if the capital is finally regained, it will be shamed by the world. If you want to regain other cities at that time, then It’s hard to reach the sky!”

Tuoba Yi closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and squeezed the space between his brows, and then slowly said:

"I'm already clear about the thoughts of all my lovers. But I have to think about this matter again. You all go down first."

After the officials retreated, Shao Zixiao came out from behind the screen.

Tuoba Yi completely lost the calmness just now, but asked anxiously:

"Zi Xiao, what do you think about this?"

Shao Zixiao met Tuoba Yi's eyes and said:

"I'm also conflicted. Everything, it's up to you to decide. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Tuoba Yi smiled slightly and said:

"I still feel most comfortable talking to Zixiao. Let's not think about it for now, let's go and eat."

A few more days passed, and Tuoba Yi didn't say whether he took advantage of the emptiness of the capital's defense to attack.

Many generals eagerly gave memorials to Tuoba Yi, but Tuoba Yi just put them aside and ignored them.

A month later, General Mo Qi had recovered all the cities and returned to the capital.

But he still didn't enthroned and proclaimed himself emperor, but directly sent people here to ask Tuoba Yi to go back and become emperor.

On the same day, Tuoba Yi summoned the ministers again.

Just when everyone thought that they could go back with Tuoba Yi and continue to be an official, Tuoba Yi announced:

"Since the city was taken back by General Mo Qi, I have no reason to go back and be emperor again!"

As soon as this remark came out, almost all the courtiers were shocked except for Du Yu.

They hurriedly knelt down and begged Tuoba Yi to think about it again, after all, General Mo Qi invited him to be emperor on his own initiative.

Tuoba Yi sneered and asked:

"You have worked so hard to win the country, are you willing to let others sit on the throne?"

Seeing everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, Tuoba Yi accepted:

"I reckon that after I return to the palace, news of my sudden death will spread within three days. My son is still young, so the new emperor will naturally be Mo Qi!"

At this time, a minister asked:

"Then His Majesty intends to re-raise the army and fight General Mo Qi to the death?"

Tuoba Yi spread his hands and said:

"Of course not, do you think I want to fight him at all?"

"Then Your Majesty, you are..."

"That's right, I plan to give up the throne and go back to the mountains. As for you, you can go back to the capital directly, and Mo Qi will naturally decide whether to use you."

After finishing speaking, Tuoba Yi left with big strides.

Then he found Shao Zixiao, hugged him tightly, and said softly:

"Zi Xiao, I'm back."

"So fast?"

"Well, just announced one thing. Then, I will no longer be the emperor."

"You... what do you mean?"

"That Mo Qi is too powerful. At this point, I also know that I can't compete with him, so why go back to the capital to make fun of yourself? And didn't I promise you before? When the time is right, I will take you back to the mountains and forests ! Now, it can be realized."

Shao Zixiao stared at Tuoba Yi's face and asked:

"Are you...really willing?"

"It's true that there is such a trace of unwillingness. But as long as I think that I can stay with you for the rest of my life, I will be relieved."

"But do you know? After we really retire, the slightest reluctance you have now will be infinitely magnified."

"Zixiao, what do you mean by that? Is it rare that you don't want to go into seclusion with me?"

"Of course I'm also looking forward to this in my dreams. But I think it should wait until you completely want to retire with me, instead of being forced like this now."

"Yeah, I'm forced now. So, I don't have any other choice, do I?"

After finishing speaking, Tuoba Yi turned around and left.

Shao Zixiao sighed softly, and immediately began to pack his things.

Tuoba Chen who came back from the morning class saw this and asked:

"Father, shall we leave here?"

"Yes, does Chen'er already have feelings for this?"

"It's a little bit, but I'm still very happy because I really want to go home."

"Chen'er, we're not going back to that home now."

"Where is that going?"

"Go to a new home, is Chen'er willing?"

"Of course I would!"

After saying that, Tuoba Chen walked out bouncing around.

Shao Zixiao smiled and thought:

It's better to be a child, carefree, so happy to change to a new home.

Not long after, Tuoba Yi walked in again.

Seeing that Shao Zixiao was already packing his things, he asked suspiciously:

"Zi Xiao, don't you support my retreat?"

"Whether you support it or not is one thing, but we have been forced to this point now, there is no other choice, is there?"

"It's all useless to me."

"I didn't blame you, on the contrary, I was very happy to be able to retire. Those words just now were because I was afraid that you would regret it."

"Don't worry, as long as you are still by my side, I will not regret it."

"Well, come quickly and help me pack my things!"
