The Emperor choked up a bit.
He looked at Yan Huisheng, "What's wrong with you ascending the throne earlier? I could also leave the palace and visit the traveling palace occasionally."
Yan Huisheng replied, "I think that Your Majesty is still capable of overseeing the ancestral affairs for another two years. I am truly not in a rush to take over."
The Emperor was somewhat annoyed, "Are you blaming me for how I treated you in the past..."
"If I were to hold grudges, there would be some from earlier days. But now..." Yan Huisheng shook his head, "I do not."
"Then give me a reason." The Emperor did not expect Yan Huisheng to decline. Although he was somewhat reluctant to give up the throne, he was no longer as insistent as before.
Yan Huisheng sighed, "Your Majesty, there is a heap of issues within the court and the country. I do not have that much time to handle your abdication and my ascendancy. This matter can be put aside for now."
