Chapter 6052: Changing of the Dynasty

"I am asking you, do you want to be the Emperor?!" Xiao Fan asked once more.

"This… such treasonous words! They cannot be spoken!" Emperor Xie Caijun was terrified.

"Hehehe… what are you afraid of? Brother Xie, have you forgotten? You also possess the Imperial Bloodline; you are also someone who can become the Emperor," Xiao Fan said with a faint smile.

"Xiao Fan, stop joking! If word of this gets out, even if I had a hundred lives, I would lose them all! Don't talk nonsense!" Emperor Xie Caijun said anxiously.

"Hehehe… Brother Xie, do you really not want it at all?!" Xiao Fan asked in return.

"It's not about whether I want to! It's that I can't, I…"

"Brother Xie, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I am willing to help you become the Emperor, as long as you nod your head!" Xiao Fan said in a low voice.

"This… I…" Hearing this, Emperor Xie Caijun's expression flickered uncertainly.

"Brother Xie, you should be clear about my capabilities. The Imperial Guard is mine! The Imperial Palace Guard is also mine! Even the palace maids by the Emperor's side are my people! If I want to rebel, it would be as easy as turning over my hand!" Xiao Fan said calmly.

Emperor Xie Caijun was well aware of Xiao Fan's current power and influence.

Indeed.

If Xiao Fan wanted to, he could rebel at any time.

But the problem was, if he rebelled, how would the world view him afterward?!

If the rebellion failed, his entire family…

Emperor Xie Caijun hesitated and voiced his concerns.

"Your entire family? Brother Xie, given the relationship between you and me, if something happens to me, would you not be implicated?" Xiao Fan shook his head and sighed softly.

"Brother Xie, have you ever considered that perhaps this matter isn't aimed at me, but is coming for you?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Hmm? Coming for me?!" Emperor Xie Caijun was stunned for a moment.

"Exactly," Xiao Fan nodded.

"The relationship between us is one where we prosper or fall together. Everyone knows this, and Your Majesty knows it too. Your Majesty fears the power in my hands, but I am not of the Imperial family! I cannot succeed the throne! But you… Brother Xie, if you don't act, the outcome is predictable; even staying alive would be a pipe dream." Xiao Fan patted Emperor Xie Caijun's shoulder.

After that, Xiao Fan fell silent, letting Emperor Xie Caijun think it over for himself.

Although Emperor Xie Caijun was a playboy, he was not truly stupid.

Being a playboy was merely Emperor Xie Caijun's disguise.

This was something Xiao Fan gradually discovered as he spent more time with Emperor Xie Caijun.

After all, being of the Imperial Bloodline, acting like a playboy might be the only way to stay alive.

Emperor Xie Caijun understood what Xiao Fan was saying.

Indeed.

Emperor Xie Caijun had played a huge role in Xiao Fan reaching where he was today.

If there were to be a reckoning later, Emperor Xie Caijun would undoubtedly die!

"But, Xiao Fan, how… how much certainty do you have?!"

"Ninety percent!" Xiao Fan said firmly.

"This… what if the world refuses to submit! What if they say my succession is illegitimate and unjust! What should be done then? After I die, when I go to the Yellow Springs, how will I…"

"Hahahaha… Brother Xie, you are of the Imperial Bloodline to begin with. Sensing danger ahead of time and replacing him is called capability! Do you understand?" Xiao Fan patted Emperor Xie Caijun's shoulder and spoke with powerful conviction.

"Once you become the Emperor, who in the world would dare to defy you? Whoever defies you, kill them! Kill until everyone submits! The Court Historians will naturally justify everything for you! Do you understand, Brother Xie?"

"I… I understand, Xiao Fan. You're right." After a moment of hesitation, Emperor Xie Caijun nodded.

Xiao Fan's words had indeed struck a chord in his heart.

As a prince, who wouldn't dream of becoming the Emperor?!

Emperor Xie Caijun was naturally no exception!

"Exactly, Brother Xie. The opportunity to become the Emperor is right before your eyes! You cannot miss it! If something happens to me, you will be like meat on a chopping block! Right?!"

"Right!" Emperor Xie Caijun nodded heavily, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Brother Xiao, I'll listen to you! Let's rebel!!"

"Good!" Xiao Fan nodded heavily and continued his secret discussion with Emperor Xie Caijun.

The Emperor wanted to kill him; how could Xiao Fan just sit and wait for death?!

Xiao Fan had already made up his mind; at worst, they would just change the dynasty.
