Anthony didn't suspect anything, because the people standing beside Li Huailin were indeed Jade Emperor and the others. When he came over, he only saw a figure, but didn't see who it was. Of course, Anthony didn't expect Li Huailin to really be able to resurrect the undead. After all, humans didn't have this ability, so he didn't think of going there.
Li Huailin looked around and saw that everyone was here. Anthony had probably told the others about what happened. Now, Wilham was carrying the unconscious Marshall on his back, and the other guards were carrying the other three human pillar children. According to Anthony's personality, he wouldn't leave them in the lurch. He had to save them.
"It's finally over," Anthony said with a sigh. Anthony sighed and said, "I didn't expect this to be caused by me … I did wrong Marshal, so it's reasonable for him to take revenge on me."
"What are you going to do?" Li Huailin asked directly.
"I … I've decided to abdicate," Anthony said solemnly after thinking for a while.
"What?!" It wasn't Li Huailin who was surprised, but Delnate and the others behind Anthony. When they heard that Anthony was going to abdicate, they immediately shouted. Delnate, on the other hand, knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, please reconsider. This isn't …"
"Delnate, this is my family's business. You can't interrupt." Before Delnate could finish, Anthony interrupted him.
Hearing Anthony's words, Delnate not only panicked, but he also broke out in cold sweat. That's right, the throne is the Emperor's family matter. How can you, a subordinate, discuss this matter? What does the throne have to do with you? If Anthony is a little more deranged, asking about this matter is already an act of treason, and he can even chop you to death.
Delnate panicked a little. If he continued, he would be remonstrating to death. However, he was a general. Civil officials could remonstrate to death, but had he ever heard of a military official remonstrating to death? If this went on, it would seem as if he was trying to force her to abdicate. The more Dernate thought about it, the more he felt a headache coming on. However, he had to stop this from happening. He immediately looked towards Li Huailin. Without a doubt, Li Huailin's words carried the most weight here. This was because it was not only the Duke of the Empire, but it was also Anthony's friend and was about to ascend to the throne as the Emperor of the Continent. From all aspects, if Li Huailin tried to dissuade Anthony, there would be no problem with his identity. The chances of success were very high.
"Abdicate?" Li Huailin naturally began to ask about this matter.
"Yes." Anthony nodded. "Of course, I'm not going to abdicate immediately. I want to go back and teach Marshal everything I know about government affairs. When I'm familiar with them, I'll find a time to abdicate and return the throne to him. In any case, according to age, he is the eldest son, so he should be the one to inherit. "
"The problem is that you didn't inherit the throne. Instead, you fought for it yourself." Li Huailin said, "This method of passing the throne will cause a lot of problems. At the very least, the generals who followed you to the throne will definitely not accept this new emperor. This is not a good thing for the Empire."
"I'll think of a way to discuss it with them," Anthony said. It was obvious that he had thought about this matter seriously. "That's why I said that I won't abdicate immediately. I'll find a buffer so that they can accept this new emperor. Then, I'll abdicate."
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded slightly. "What happens after you abdicate?"
"Of course, I'll seek Marshal's forgiveness first. Just like what I said before," Anthony said. "If he wants to kill me, I have no complaints. If he doesn't die, then … we'll talk about it later. I've never thought about it."
"What an upright and sincere young man," Li Huailin nodded slightly. "But although it's a good idea, the success rate isn't high."
"Hmm?" Anthony was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean by the success rate isn't high?"
"It's not that easy to leave the Jianghu." Li Huailin said with a smile. "You're the emperor now. The interests of millions of people are linked to you. This Marshal is a newcomer who has no contact with anyone. It's too difficult for him to successfully ascend the throne."
"Interests?" Anthony was slightly taken aback.
"To put it simply, for example, you're the emperor. In order to please you, I've invested a lot in you. Money, land, loyalty, and so on. Of course, it's because I see your future and want you to repay me. But suddenly, I hear that you're abdicating, and the new emperor has never heard of you. Of course, he hasn't invested in you. What should I do? First, I continue to invest in this new emperor and continue to spend my own resources. This is equivalent to starting all over again. It's simply tiring. Second, I'll kill this unknown newcomer and end it all. Everything will return to normal. If you were me, which one would you choose? "
"This …" Anthony understood. "You mean …"
"What I mean is that you're not helping him, but harming him. A person like him with no background will definitely die before he ascends the throne. And the first person to kill him will be your queen," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Marina?" Anthony was slightly taken aback. "This …"
"Don't say that it's impossible. If I were Marina, I'd kill him too," Li Huailin said with a smile.
It wasn't just Delnate. Wilham and the rest were sweating profusely. You're basically trying to drive a wedge between the emperor and the queen. Only you, the Duke of Aquitaine, would dare to say something like that. No one else would dare to say something like that.
"Marina …" Anthony was silent for a moment, but he still agreed with Li Huailin. Yes, after Li Huailin convinced him, he also felt that this would happen.
"So don't think of it so simply," Li Huailin said.
"What if I die first?" Anthony asked after some thought.
"Heh, then there's a 99% chance that Su Lan will ascend the throne," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "Right now, you're the only one who supports Marshal as the emperor. If you're dead, who will support Marshal's ascension? Even if you leave a will and make Su Lan give up the throne, Marshall won't be the one to ascend the throne. Su Lan will probably be forced onto the throne. By the way, even if Su Lan dies, she's already dead. The person to ascend the throne will probably be Marina. Anyway, it won't be Marshall's turn. "
"…" Anthony didn't say anything for a long time. What Li Huailin said made too much sense. There didn't seem to be anything else he could ask. After thinking for a while, Anthony asked, "So you're against me abdicating the throne too? Is there any way for Marshall to ascend the throne? "
"You want Marshall to ascend the throne to avenge the time you injured him, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, I owe him. If I don't do something, I won't be able to live with myself, let alone him. Right now, the best thing I can give him is the throne. Apart from that, I really don't know what else I can give him, "Anthony said.
"You have to know that he grew up without a father and was almost killed by his younger brother. Now, he has lost his master. If he ascends the throne, he won't be able to do anything but take revenge on society. Besides, as I said before, this guy is very childish. So if you ask me if I agree with him ascending the throne, I definitely won't agree." Li Huailin thought about it and said, "Besides, I don't think what this guy needs now is the throne. He just lacks love and care. Basically, finding a psychiatrist for him will be more effective than passing the throne to you."
"What … is a psychiatrist?" Anthony asked.
"A spiritual mentor. Something like psychological support." Li Huailin said casually, "Anyway, I think you should find some time to talk to this guy. There's no need to abdicate or anything like that. I think it's not bad for you to be the emperor now. At least there's no better one."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Delnate quickly said. At that moment, Dernate hurriedly spoke up. He was expressing his support for Anthony's loyalty, not questioning the throne. Of course, Dernate could speak.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Wilham and the others immediately said.
"Brother, Archduke Aquitaine makes sense," Su Lan walked over and said. Sulan walked over and said, "I'll treat Marshall like a brother from now on. Just like what the Grand Duke of Aquitaine said, I'll guide him. But the throne isn't a small matter, and it's not just about you. It's about thousands of people, from commoners to nobles. You can't just make a decision like this."
"Oh, Su Lan, you're suddenly a lot more mature. I'm not used to this," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"You …" Su Lan stared at Li Huailin and did not say anything.
"Let me think about it." Anthony thought about it for a long time, but he still did not make a decision. He did not say that he would give up on the throne either. He probably wanted to talk to Marsal first. Although he did not give up on the throne immediately, Delnate and the others were clearly relieved. They could also see that Li Huailin could talk to Anthony. If Anthony wanted to abdicate in the future, they could quickly find Li Huailin to talk to him. It should be fine, right?
"By the way, I might be able to help Marsal a little," Li Huailin suddenly said after some thought.
"Huh? What? "Anthony asked, slightly puzzled.
"Take him back for treatment first," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "About a little later, I will take him to a place, and then I should be able to persuade him a little."
"You and him? The two of you? "Anthony asked.
"Yes, just me and him." Li Huailin nodded.
"But now he …"
"I know. He can't wait to kill me, right?" Li Huailin smiled. "Don't worry, I have a way."
"…" Anthony thought about it for a while, but still chose to believe Li Huailin, even though Li Huailin did not say anything. "Alright, I'll leave it to you, Huailin."
