Chapter 1087 The Emperor is Retiring
While eating, Jing Fantian was about to announce a good news to everyone.
"Everyone, my sister's parents have agreed to my sister's wedding. I will marry my sister next month."
"Resentment from Shenhe, +100 constellation points."
Keqing reached under the table and twisted the soft flesh around Jing Fantian's ribs.
Shen He punched Jing Fantian without giving him any face.
Jing Fantian quickly blocked it, not caring about the attitudes of the two girls beside him, and continued to say to the people at the table: "Please give me a big red envelope when the time comes, otherwise I will kill your whole family."
"Resentment from Beidou, +100 constellation points."
"Resentment from Ningguang, +100 constellation points."
"From Yelan..."
Everyone was speechless and lost their appetite to eat any more.
Only Changsheng snorted coldly: "I don't agree with this marriage."
Jing Fantian shouted at Changsheng: "Demon snake, what do you want to do? Do you want to steal my senior sister?"
Changsheng shook his head and pointed at Keqing and said, "You and Shen He are married, so what about Keqing? And Hu Tao."
Jing Fantian smiled and said, "There is no rule that I can only marry one. Next month I will become the emperor and marry one a day."
Everyone shook their heads speechlessly, but a few were shocked by the bombastic news in Jing Fantian's words.
"Your Highness will become the Emperor next month?"
Ningguang confirmed it uncertainly.
Jing Fantian suddenly pretended to be deaf and dumb: "Did I say anything? I'm sorry, I drank too much and my brain is not working well."
Ye Lan said in a serious tone, "We heard clearly that the Emperor has never announced that he will abdicate. Why did you say, Your Highness, that you will inherit the throne next month?"
Keqing also asked in confusion: "Fantian, are you planning to do something outrageous?"
Changsheng looked at Jing Fantian in shock: "Good boy, do you really want to kill the emperor and occupy the throne alone?"
Jing Fantian quickly explained: "Changsheng, don't say that. The more you explain, the worse it gets."
"Actually, my father can't do it anymore. You can ask Keqing. He also brought up the issue of divine rule vs. human rule today."
Ningguang looked at Keqing: "Keqing, is this true? Does the Emperor really want to retreat?"
Keqing nodded. "Really? At that time, Fantian and I were in Wanmin Hall. After the Emperor appeared, I asked him if human rule was possible? The Emperor did not reject human rule."
"He also said that he would give us a test. If we, the Seven Stars of Liyue, can hold up the sky of Liyue, he will give Liyue people the rule."
"But the Emperor didn't specify the duration of the test, nor did he say when he would retire?"
The people of the Liyue Seven Stars were shocked. There was no way they couldn't be shocked. The emperor who had ruled Liyue for 3700 years was about to retire. This was a bolt from the blue for everyone.
A few knowledgeable people realized that what they were going to talk about next was head-breaking stuff.
The waiter from Liuli Pavilion came in with steaming dishes and greeted politely, "Gentlemen, this is steamed sea bass. Enjoy your meal."
After the waiter had served the dishes, Jing Fantian grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Were you eavesdropping just now?"
"Your Highness, what were you eavesdropping on? I didn't hear anything."
"No matter what, just to be on the safe side, we can only kill him to silence him."
"Resentment from Fukuzu, +10 constellation points."
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Keqing pinched Jing Fantian's ribs and made him let go of the servant from Liuliting.
She said to the boy, "We are almost done eating. Don't serve any more food. And don't come in here casually, or Brahma will kill you."
"Okay, okay, everyone, enjoy your meal."
The servant ran away in panic.
Keqing closed the door, and without being disturbed by people outside the private room, a group of people stared at Jing Fantian with eager eyes.
Jing Fantian was a little stage-frightened: "Everyone, don't ask me, I don't know anything."
Changsheng snorted and slapped the table: "Little Evil Dragon, tell me, is the Emperor going to retire at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony?"
"This is a slide that cannot be touched, everyone just eat your food!"
Shen He pointed his sword directly at Jing Fantian's head. The crowd had no intention of continuing to eat. They all wanted to dig out more about the Emperor's plans from Jing Fantian's mouth.
The mere fact that the Emperor was going to retire was enough to shock the entire Liyue.
Keqing pinched Jing Fantian's ribs and said, "Tell me quickly, or you won't be allowed to leave today."
Changsheng slammed the table and said, "Speak."
Shen He is a man of few words, so he can only be forced by the method of stopping the disaster.
She also wanted to know the Emperor's plan, not for herself, but for her master. Liu Yun's love for Liyue was no less than anyone else.
Jing Fantian sighed and said directly, "That's right, my father will be retiring at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony next month."
"..."
After personally confirming the news from Jing Fantian's mouth, everyone looked at each other, all a little confused.
Only Qiqi, who didn't understand the twists and turns, was still eating the delicious food.
The Emperor has protected Liyue for 3700 years. Even the Seven Stars of Liyue cannot imagine the Emperor retiring.
Of course, the biggest problem is, now that the Emperor has retired, who will take over his position?
Changsheng looked at Jing Fantian: "Does the Emperor want you to take over his job?"
Jing Fantian nodded: "Of course, I am the first person under the patriarchal system."
Keqing retorted: "No, the Emperor told me himself that he would open a crack for the patient. He never said that he would hand over Liyue to you."
"The Emperor said that you don't look like a ruler at all, and it's impossible for me to entrust Liyue's cause to you."
"Tell me quickly, what is the Emperor's real plan?"
Keqing shook Jing Fantian's body vigorously.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."
Jing Fantian had no choice but to say half-truthfully, "My father wants to give you a question to test the immortals and decide who will be the next leader of Liyue."
Ningguang tried to understand, “That is to say, after the Emperor abdicated, there was no clear statement that Liyue would be ruled by gods in the future.”
Jing Fantian nodded: "Yes, if the Liyue Seven Stars perform well, my father will hand Liyue over to you."
Changsheng was a little bit incredulous, pointing at Ningguang and the others and said, "Leave it to them, leave it to these humans?"
Ningguang narrowed her eyes, and Beidou, who was drunk, didn't care whether the person in front of him was a human or a ghost.
"Yao Jun, can't we lead Liyue?"
Changsheng snorted. These youngsters were not even immortals, so what qualifications did they have to ask her for face?
"I'm sorry, but your strength makes it impossible for me to trust you to protect Liyue."
Changsheng looked at Jing Fantian after he finished speaking: "What about divine rule? If the Seven Stars of Liyue fail the test, who will be the next Rock God?"
Jing Fantian was just about to say that it could only be him.
Keqing interrupted him: "The Emperor said that anyone who is an immortal and has the ability to protect Liyue can become a Geogod."
After hearing this, Changsheng suddenly became excited.
"Great! I never thought that I, Changsheng, would become an emperor one day. Changsheng Emperor, Changsheng Emperor, what a great name!"
Everyone looked at Changsheng, who seemed a little too proud of himself, and seemed certain that he would pass the Emperor's test.
Jing Fantian slammed the table and said, "Changsheng, don't be so arrogant. I am the emperor's son. I am the first person under the system of primogeniture."
