Zhengde looked at the four of them and shook his head after thinking for a while, "With your talents, you could easily break through to Grandmaster in twenty years. If I help you break through, it will be very difficult for you to improve in the future. Furthermore, I have already decided who I want to pass my power on to. "

"Oh!" "The Emperor has already decided on whom he will transfer his power to?" The few of them looked at each other, and Imperial Concubine Fu could not help but giggle as she said, "Could it be that the Emperor has found us another sister and wants her to inherit all of your power?"

"What are you thinking about!" The Xia Queen and the others all looked at him.

"I plan to pass my true qi to the crown prince." Zhengde sighed and said, "He will inherit my position in the future, his cultivation must not be weak. He had overseen the politics of the empire all these years. He had just broken through to the Xiantian realm some time ago, and his cultivation was much slower than his brothers. Although these brothers of his have been on good terms since childhood, in the end, he will still have to hold the power of the court in the future. He has to be able to suppress his other sons, otherwise, chaos will come sooner or later in the imperial court. "

"Pass it to the crown prince." Empress Xia and the others thought about it and could not help but agree. If the crown prince did not have the power to suppress his brothers, he might not be able to usurp the throne in the future. The imperial concubine and the others did not say much about the righteous decision they had made. Although they wanted to gain benefits for their children, regarding the future of the crown prince, they should not interfere.

However, the meticulous Consort De said, "Your majesty, if you pass your true qi to the crown prince, it will probably cause some of the other children to feel awkward. Chenqie thought that rather than giving all of them to one person, why not give six points to the crown prince and split the other princes into four parts? You should know that with sixty percent of your martial arts skill, you will also be able to produce a Grandmaster, while the other children will have one so that they won't say that you are too biased. "

Consort De's words made the other three's eyes light up. As mothers, who wouldn't love their children? To be able to obtain some success from the righteousness was enough for them to break through to the Grandmaster Realm. Perhaps they couldn't compare to the Crown Prince who could not directly break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Zhengde looked at Empress Xia and saw that her expression didn't change much. He nodded slightly and said, "That's good as well, to avoid the other sons saying that I'm too biased. Giving them some benefits is better than not giving them anything at all. Go and let them prepare! Come to the Heartrest Palace tomorrow. "

"It's the Emperor." Consort De's group also revealed smiles as they passed the news to their son.

On the second day, Zheng De sat cross-legged on the dragon bed with a pale face. His once lively gaze had dimmed quite a bit. Now, there was not even a sliver of true energy left in his body. Previously, Gu San had used his zhen qi to open the Blood God's Stash, which had already been completed. Only the purest magic power was circulating in his body, absorbing the spirit energy of the heaven and earth to restore his somewhat exhausted spirit energy.

After a long time, Zhengde finally opened his eyes. His dull eyes were much brighter than before. However, his mental state was still a lot worse than before. His gaze landed on the few sons in front of him after a large amount of time, and he could not help but slightly nod his head. His five sons had received all of his skills. The eldest prince had gained sixty percent, and had successfully broken through to the Grandmaster Realm. Although he was the weakest of them all, he was still much stronger than an ordinary Grandmaster.

Second Bro, Third Bro, Fourth Bro and Fifth Bro all received ten percent of his power. However, because the four of them were a bit more idle than the crown prince, and had the strength of mid-or late-Xiantian realm experts before they accepted him as their disciple, the success rate of their righteousness had barely allowed the four of them to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.

"Father, you're awake. How do you feel?" The Crown Prince walked up to him and asked with some concern.

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "It's no big deal. I just lost my zhen qi. With my previous foundation, without martial arts training and Qi Refining, my strength won't drop much." "As for martial arts cultivation, I have my previous experiences. I will be able to recover to the peak in at most a dozen or twenty years, and maybe even further to the possibility of breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm."

The Crown Prince and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that there was nothing wrong with it. In the Ming Dynasty, righteousness was the pillar of the heavens, the lord of the Ming dynasty who could be compared to Emperor Wu Han and Tang Taizong. If anything happened to him, the imperial court would be in complete chaos.

He then looked at his five sons and said, "You guys have received the true qi that I've cultivated for more than twenty years. Your powers are among the top in the martial arts world now." However, in terms of cultivation, it's best if you don't slack off. "You must know that cultivation also cultivates the heart. If the body is strong, the heart is strong. If the heart is strong, the will is strong. Without a strong heart, it is impossible to be a good emperor or a good king."

"Yes, I will follow your teachings, Imperial Father." The crown prince and the others bowed.

Righteous and virtuous eyes fell on the crown prince, and then said, "Crown Prince, I have passed on my martial arts cultivation to you, so that you can improve your martial arts cultivation and have a chance to break through to the legendary supreme grandmaster. "In order to not let the matters of the imperial court disturb our cultivation, I plan to pass on this matter to you in three months' time and pass the great river and mountain to your brothers."

"This?" The Crown Prince and the others were stunned. They had never thought that righteousness would abdicate the throne. Even though they all learned from their mothers a few years ago that the emperor would abdicate and concentrate on his cultivation after they became familiar with the imperial government, they were still astounded when they heard the righteous words from him.

"Father, right now is the time when you are at the peak of your life. You are at the prime of your life, so why should you abdicate?" The Crown Prince came back to his senses and tried to persuade him.

"That's right!" royal father, although cultivation is important, the Great Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from your lead! "

Even though he knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince might not be sincere in persuading him, he was still very pleased with his righteousness. He heaved a sigh of relief, "We have decided on this matter. The five of you will follow us and learn how to handle the affairs of the court. I have seen your performance over the years. You all have the ability to take charge of yourselves." Eagle! you should be soaring in the sky, you cannot be protected by us forever. "

He silently looked at his five children and sighed softly, "Since I ascended the throne, I have been very diligent. I have spent over 30 years before the rise of the Ming Dynasty. "I do not wish for you to build on my foundations, but I do hope that you will be able to protect this foundation."

"This son will definitely not disappoint royal father's teachings." The five princes answered in unison.

"Very well, you guys go and prepare! We will summon the whole world, and we will pass on our position to the crown prince in three months. " The Righteous Emperor waved them off.

Not long after the crown prince and the others left, the Xia Emperor and the others walked in, each of them looking worriedly at the righteous officials. Your Majesty, are you alright? "

Zhengde looked at their worried expressions and chuckled, "It's nothing, I just feel a little weak." "However, his Fa Li is still around and he is slightly weaker than before. However, he is still much stronger than the average Grandmaster."

The empress and the others were worried, so they carefully examined his body. After confirming that he was alright, they all let out sighs of relief.

On the other hand, after the crown prince and the others left the Hall of Tranquil Heart, they spread the news that the Righteous Emperor was about to pass on the throne. For a moment, the entire world was shaken. Whether it was the foreign countries, or the countries in the Western Regions, or the countries in the distant continent, they all sent messengers to the light, wanting to confirm if this matter was true or false.

As for the commoners, they were all discussing with one another. The Righteous Emperor had an extremely good reputation among the commoners. Whether it was building bridges, building roads, reforming the business, or lowering taxes, all of them applauded and praised him. In the eyes of the peasants, he was an emperor on par with the Qin and Han dynasties.

The withdrawal of the Righteous Emperor caused the citizens to worry. After all, no one knew if the next emperor would change his policy and allow them to continue living such a good life.

In the imperial court, although the officials were surprised that the emperor had abdicated so early, they were not surprised that he had abdicated. They all knew that after the crown prince and his men reached adulthood, the emperor had almost given up his authority and allowed the crown prince to help manage the imperial government. After familiarizing himself with the government, it was difficult for the crown prince to see the shadow of the emperor anymore. In the past year, the emperor had rarely gone to court, so the enthronement of the crown prince was only a matter of time.

Regardless of what the people and the imperial court were discussing, what the foreign countries, the Western Regions, and even the European countries thought, the matter of the Righteous and Moral Succession had not changed at all.

According to the post-historical records, in the early thirty-three years of the True and Moral Emperors, the Great Hall was located in the crown prince's territory and regarded itself as superior. After the crown prince ascended to the throne, he was honored as the Great Emperor of Righteousness and Virtue.
