Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 207 Tell the world that I am guilty!

the next day.

After breakfast, Lu Fan left Dayu City and quickly flew over the capital.

It's time to make a break.

But before that, he had to go to the Liu family first.

Say goodbye to Liu Mei and Liu Zhi.

With a thought, Lu Fan had landed in the courtyard where Liu Zhi lived.

Liu Zhi was practicing swordplay in the yard. When he saw Lu Fan, he exclaimed, "Lu Fan, are you back?"

"Ah."

Lu Fan nodded, "Send someone to call your sister."

"it is good."

Liu Zhi put away his sword and ordered his servants to invite Liu Mei.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk."

The two came to the living room, and after sitting down, the maid served tea.

Just as Lu Fan took a few sips of tea, Liu Mei came over in a hurry. Seeing that Lu Fan was safe and sound, she felt relieved and had a smile on her face.

"How's it going? Is everything okay over there in the world of immortality?"

"It's all over."

Lu Fan briefly talked about what happened yesterday.

"what?"

Liu Mei was shocked and angry, "I actually asked you to ascend to the immortal world? And it has to be within a month? How unreasonable!"

"Going to the fairy world is not necessarily a bad thing."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much."

"How could I not be worried?"

Liu Mei rolled her eyes at Lu Fan, "Where is the Immortal Realm? Any strong person can destroy the world. It's too dangerous for you."

"That's how it came."

Lu Fan said: "You also know my temper. I will not take the initiative to provoke others, let alone do anything that I am not sure about."

"Since I dare to go to the fairy world, I will naturally be prepared."

"Do not worry."

"Not only am I fine, but I will take the opportunity to improve my strength."

"Since we have to take this step sooner or later, it's better for me to go there early and explore the way for you."

After a pause, Lu Fan asked: "Don't you want to become an immortal? Don't you want to ascend to the immortal world?"

"With you here, of course I want to go."

Liu Mei made no secret of her feelings, "How about you take me with you, and I will go with you now."

"What do you think?"

Lu Fan found it a bit funny, "You'd better stay and practice steadily, and rely on your own strength to ascend in the future."

"Ok."

Liu Mei also knew that her thoughts were a bit too whimsical.

"And Liu Zhi, you must also practice well."

Lu Fan spoke and looked at Liu Zhi, "We will have a chance to meet in the fairy world in the future."

"Will do."

Liu Zhi is confident.

After experiencing the monster invasion, he became more obsessed with improving his strength.

He has already made up his mind that he must continue to become stronger, otherwise, let alone protecting his family, he will not even be able to protect himself.

"Okay, I'm going to the palace."

Lu Fan stood up and said, "The grudge between Li Tianrun and I should be settled."

"Ah."

Both of them understood what Lu Fan meant and stood up to see each other off.

The big week is about to change!

The palace at this time.

Li Tianrun had just left the morning court and was reviewing the memorial.

But he could never calm down and always felt uneasy.

what happened?

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly his eyes flashed, and there was an extra person in the room.

"Lu Fan."

Li Tianrun sighed secretly in his heart and stood up.

Then he waved his hand and said, "You all, please step aside."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Several palace maids and eunuchs bowed and left.

Only Lu Fan and Li Tianrun were left in the room.

"Please sit down quickly."

Li Tianrun asked Lu Fan to sit down and asked, "How is the war going?"

"It has ended."

Lu Fan said truthfully: "The demons and monsters have retreated and will not attack the human world again in the short term."

"That's good."

Li Tianrun already knew Lu Fan's intention, and he felt at ease.

During this period of time, he had been suffering, but in the end, he felt relieved.

"Lu Fan, I only felt how insignificant I was after I saw you take action that day."

"In the face of powerful force, no amount of conspiracy and tricks are of any use."

"I really didn't expect that your strength could grow to such an extent."

"Back then, the reason why I reused you was because of your talent."

Thinking of the past, Li Tianrun was very moved, "It's such a pity. I did something wrong, but I made more mistakes to make up for it, which made me make mistakes every step of the way."

"To be honest, even if you don't kill me, I wouldn't have the shame to live in this world."

"The reason why I have survived until now is because I am worried about Da Zhou's safety and want to share the responsibility with you."

"Since Da Zhou is fine, it's time for me to go."

Speaking of this, Li Tianrun glanced at Lu Fan, "But before that, I have some funeral matters to deal with, so please give me some time."

"Ah."

Lu Fan nodded.

"Little Guizi."

Li Tianrun drank lightly.

"emperor."

Xiao Guizi walked in quickly.

"This is my edict for committing sins. You take it and declare it to the world."

Li Tianrun took out an imperial edict and handed it to Xiao Guizi, sighing softly, "I want everyone in the world to know that I am guilty!"

"emperor."

Xiao Guizi stood there blankly, not daring to answer.

"Go!"

Li Tianrun shouted: "Even if I do something wrong, I still have to bear the consequences."

"Yes."

Xiao Guizi quickly accepted the imperial edict and bowed down.

Before he could walk out the door, he heard Li Tianrun say: "Go and call Lin Fuzhou, Li Yongtai, Li Cheng'an, Lin Zhengbei, Han Chu, Yan Qing, as well as the prince and the eldest princess. I have something to tell them." .”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Guizi only felt that her scalp was numb, and she didn't dare to stay for a moment anymore and left quickly.

With his keen senses, he could sense that something big was going to happen!

The big week is about to change!

Where will he go?

"Lu Fan, I will bear the responsibility for the trouble I caused myself."

Li Tianrun begged, "Please don't harm my family. Of course, as long as my family is safe, you can take the kingdom of Zhou. You have the final say on who you want to be the emperor."

"No need."

Lu Fan waved his hand, "As long as you pass on the throne, I won't interfere in this kind of thing, and I don't want to interfere. As for your family, as long as they can do their best for the people and don't provoke me and my family, I naturally won't What to do with them."

"it is good."

Li Tianrun breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you very much."

Not long after, the prince Li Mu and the eldest princess Li Fengyang entered the royal study together.

Later, Lin Fuzhou, Li Chengan and others also arrived.

There are people here, but the atmosphere is a bit solemn.

It seems that everyone has guessed a little and knows what will happen next.

"I personally wrote the edict of sin."

Li Tianrun looked calm, "I wrote down truthfully my mistakes over the years."

"Especially when I asked someone to get rid of Lu Fan, it was the biggest mistake I made in my life."

"One misstep will cause eternal hatred."

"I regret it, but it's too late."

Speaking of this, Li Tianrun sighed softly, "I will bear the consequences. You only need to be responsible for the execution."

Except for Lu Fan, everyone else lowered their heads and no one dared to answer the question.

After all, this topic is too heavy.

This matter is too important, even they cannot bear it.

Don't even know what to do with it. "I have summoned you today because there is something that I need you to testify about."

Li Tianrun's eyes swept across everyone in front of them, "I want to pass on the kingdom of Dazhou to Prince Li Mu, and I will leave it to him from now on."

"emperor!"

"Father!"

Although everyone was mentally prepared, they still accepted it.

"I've made up my mind, I don't need to say more."

Li Tianrun waved his hand, "Lin Fuzhou, you will handle this matter. After you get down, you can discuss it with the officials of the Ministry of Rites and set a date for Li Mu to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Fuzhou did not dare to say anything and could only nod in agreement.

"You must assist Li Mu well."

Li Tianrun looked at everyone again, "I'll leave Dazhou to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The crowd agreed in unison.

"Fengyang."

Li Tianrun turned his attention to his daughter, "You are the eldest sister. From now on, you must help your brother and protect Dazhou together. You two must be good and don't fight with each other."

"Father, don't worry."

Li Fengyang nodded slightly, "I will do my best to help my brother protect Dazhou."

"Mu'er."

Li Tianrun looked at his son with pity in his eyes. Although his son was a teenager, he was still too young.

The shoulders are still a little green.

Can you bear such a heavy burden?
After all, this is the whole world.

such a pity.

It would be nice if he was given a few more years, so that he could accompany his son to grow up and hand over the situation smoothly.

But now, I can only give you a few hasty instructions.

I just don’t know if the Li family can still hold on to their empire?

"Mu'er, everyone present is the pillar of Zhou Dynasty."

"It's up to them to assist you from now on."

"You have to be kind to them, don't be like me."

Speaking of this, Li Tianrun sighed softly, "Alas!"

"I'm sorry for Lu Fan, and I'm sorry for the soldiers who guarded the country for me."

"This is a lesson learned for you."

"You must remember this."

"Whenever you are in doubt, consult with these important ministers."

"Also, your marriage should be finalized."

"I thought you were still young and wouldn't be in a hurry."

"Unexpectedly, now I don't have time to take care of it."

"I can't even see you get married in person."

"Then take this opportunity to settle the matter."

Li Tianrun looked at everyone, "Dear ladies, do you have any good candidates?"

Everyone was unprepared and a little confused. They couldn't think of a good candidate for the moment, so they were silent.

"Mu'er, what about you?"

Li Tianrun asked with a smile: "Which girl have you fallen in love with? Speak up boldly and my father will make the decision for you."

"My son..."

Li Mu hesitated for a moment and was too embarrassed to say it.

"Try what?"

Li Tianrun scolded: "I dare not say anything like this, how can I safely leave Dazhou to you?"

"Yes, Father."

Li Mu mustered up his courage and said loudly: "My son wants to marry Wu Lingzhao."

"Wu Lingzhao?"

Li Tianrun frowned, "Which girl is it from?"

"She is the daughter of Wu Yuntong, the guard of the capital."

Li Mu said truthfully: "I have met her a few times before and I like her very much."

"Wu Yuntong."

Li Tianrun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Given his family background, it's quite appropriate. By the way, how old is his daughter?"

"Seems to be……"

Li Mu hesitated for a while and then said: "20 years old?"

"20 years old?"

Li Tianrun was stunned, and then said angrily: "She is six years older than you? How could you like such a woman?"

Li Mu didn't dare to speak.

"This is absolutely impossible."

Li Tianrun shouted: "I am setting your marriage now to choose a queen for you. It would be better for you to marry a woman who is six years older than you. Is that okay?"

Li Mu was even too frightened to say anything.

"what about you?"

Li Tianrun looked at everyone again, "Have you thought of a suitable candidate?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all hesitant.

"Your Majesty, I am thinking of someone."

Lin Fuzhou took a step forward and said: "The youngest daughter of the supervisory censor Su Zimo. Her name is Su Yan. She is 13 years old and is about the same age as the prince."

"The most important thing is that she is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and has a dignified appearance. She will definitely be a good queen in the future."

"It is a perfect match for the prince."

After a pause, Lin Fuzhou continued: "If you think it is feasible, I will invite her to the palace and you can see it for yourself."

"it is good."

Li Tianrun was overjoyed and said: "You will arrange for her to come to the palace in the near future and let the queen hold her eyes. If she is suitable, then make her your choice."

"As for me, I'm gone."

"Ugh!"

Li Tianrun sighed softly, "It's all up to the queen to make the decision."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The crowd agreed in unison.

"This is my last edict. It was written a long time ago but has never been taken out."

As he spoke, Li Tianrun took out an imperial edict and handed it to Lin Fuzhou, "Prime Minister Lin, after you read it, please pass it on to everyone."

"Yes."

Lin Fuzhou took the imperial edict with both hands, read it carefully, and handed it to Li Yongtai.

Everyone looked at the edict with heavy hearts.

"Don't blame Lu Fan. It was me who felt sorry for him first."

Li Tianrun sighed: "Lu Fan has been extremely kind to me, and I am actually very grateful to him now."

"With his strength, it would be easy for him to take my life."

"Even if you take away the power of my Li family, it will be easy."

"But he didn't bother to do it."

"But wait patiently for me to handle the funeral affairs."

"Actually, it's not just me, you all should be grateful to him too."

"If it weren't for Lu Fan, Great Zhou would have been finished long ago."

"We died at the hands of the demon clan a long time ago, how can we still be here today?"

"Not to mention the future."

Speaking of this, Li Tianrun glanced at Lu Fan and said, "Even if I die, I will always remember this kindness. I hope you will remember Lu Fan's kindness to us just like me."

"Yes."

After everyone expressed their regrets, their expressions became even more solemn.

"Let me think about it, is there anything else you haven't explained yet?"

Li Tianrun lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he raised his head and smiled, "Forget it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As a dying person, I don't have to worry about it."

"Father!"

Li Fengyang and Li Mu knelt down together, with tears in their eyes.

"His Majesty!"

Except for Lu Fan, everyone else also knelt down.

"Okay, everyone get up."

Li Tianrun raised his hand slightly, "I believe that as long as you are here, Great Zhou will stand firm."

"What's more, there is Lu Fan, the patron saint, who can keep my human race safe."

"I can go with peace of mind."

"Actually, I have nothing to miss, let alone regrets."

Li Tianrun smiled and looked at Lu Fan, "It's just that I broke my promise. I can't trust you with my life."

"Ah."

Lu Fan froze for a moment.

"Don't get me wrong."

Li Tianrun shook his head gently, "I just don't want you to be charged with regicide."
