Chapter 538: Chapter 486 Life Simulation – Different Worlds
“At least four major opportunities were missed, which resulted in such an unfounded accusation that led to my death.” Pei Xuanjing thought with displeasure.
Firstly, at the time of his rise at the frontier, he had enough time, which meant that he must join the contest.
In struggles, there is no place for fence-sitters. Especially in a fight over the imperial throne, where it’s a deadly fight of winning or perishing, his decision to be an observer would make him the common enemy of the crown prince and many other princes.
Also, when the old emperor borrowed him to balance the many princes and the crown prince, even if he genuinely chose to be a bystander, he could seize the opportunity to strengthen his influence, ensuring himself to have enough self-protection power.
The second time was when the crowned prince ascended the throne and began to wield his butcher’s knife towards many of his former competitors for the imperial throne. With his tremendous influence, he could have raised an army to quell the rebellion, which would have certainly gained the response of countless people, as these princes had nowhere else to go and could only rely on him to survive.
But he missed it again and gave up this choice.
The third time was when he was summoned back to the Capital. He could have also refused on the grounds of not accepting the imperial decree outside the capital for self-protection, but again he gave up and foolishly chose to abandon this opportunity, leaving the frontier, giving the emperor the opportunity.
The fourth time was when the emperor dared to frame him with unfounded charges. When faced with the actions of those people, he could have decided to fight back. As long as he could escape the Capital and return to the frontier, leading an army of hundreds of thousands to raise a rebellion, he wouldn’t have ended up so disheartened.
At least this time, fate had handed him the opportunity, but he gave it up abruptly. Such decisions could only be described as foolish. Pei Xuanjing had nothing to say about the experience in this life simulation.
