Chapter 584.1: Inviting the New Emperor Three Times
Inviting the New Emperor Three Times (1)
The Imperial Guards also followed Yu Zhong Qing’s orders, having the related people all detained. Of course, the ones present were just three, two wangye, and a head minister.
Rui Qinwang stared at Yu Zhong Qing, bitter and unwilling to accept. Even if no longer having the leeway to turn things around, he still was unable to settle down, “Yu Zhong Qing, didn’t you flaunt yourself as absolutely loyal to imperial father? How come you just became Li Hong Yuan’s dog? What he can give you, what is there that this prince can’t give?”
“Wangye’s younger brother-in-law colluded with others and defiled this subject’s fiancee, also causing her death. Is this reason enough? As the saying goes, ‘for every grievance there’s a culprit, for every debt there’s an owner’. This subject doesn’t want to do anything to others, but wangye, if you don’t go down, how will this subject be able to touch your younger brother-in-law? Additionally, wangye further shouldn’t have gotten involved with this Former Wei Sir Su. He is the main culprit behind my Yu family massacre. If not because of these, this subject also wouldn’t have gotten involved in the battle for the throne. However, Jin Qinwang is a good master. He will be a wise ruler.”
Rui Qinwang angrily heaved as he got held down. To think that it was actually because of this kind of reason. The Liu family sure enough were his bane! And also that Su, that Su………
It was obvious, who this Su referred to probably wasn’t just that Head Minister of Rites, perhaps also including his own mother. Of course, if he were to know that Su Ming Zhang had also long betrayed him, he probably will go mad.
Rui Qinwang got taken away. Yu Zhong Qing turned around, looking towards the Head Minister of Rites who was staring at him. The other party suddenly smiled. As one can see, towards ‘the winner becoming king, the loser reduced to thieves’, this kind of thing, he was able to accept more easily than Rui Qinwang and them, perhaps long having this kind of mental preparation. “Back then, the Yu family actually had a fish that escaped the net? Even letting you climb onto the position of the Commander of the Imperial Guards, this is rather unexpected. Your father knew some of my matters, so for the sake of precaution, I naturally could only eliminate the roots.”
Yu Zhong Qing’s originally still considered calm face, in this moment, finally broke, gritting his teeth, tightly grasping the handle of his blade, holding himself back from directly drawing the blade and slaughtering the other party. “In the imperial prisons, this lower official will nicely entertain head minister.” These words were practically squeezed out from the cracks of his teeth.
“Then, this official will look forward to it.” The Head Minister of Rites’ smile didn’t change. Clearly, he was deliberately provoking Yu Zhong Qing.
However, Yu Zhong Qing’s toughness was also beyond expectation, not getting provoked into action. He was very clear, this person still had value and can’t directly chop up.
And after Le Cheng Emperor got sent back to his bed chambers, all the imperial physicians had arrived. Today’s matter, even if wanting to hide, it was impossible to completely hide. However, the specifics of what happened in the palace was just another story. Even if Li Hong Yuan didn’t issue a silencing order, some things probably still won’t leak out.
Right now, the important ministers of the court were all gathered, waiting for Le Cheng Emperor to wake up. Of course, if unable to wake up, then it’ll just be another procedure.
Seeing that Le Cheng Emperor won’t be able to wake up anytime soon, they also weren’t worried. It didn’t get in the way of them taking care of other things. However, they also won’t continue to wait forever, at most three days. If Le Cheng Emperor still doesn’t wake up, then they, as the imperial court, will just jointly request Jin Qinwang to ascend the throne. After all, a country cannot lack a ruler for a day.
Seeing Li Hong Yuan return, Jing Wan was extremely surprised, “How come just returned this quickly?” She’d even thought that he won’t return to the manor anymore.
“Wan Wan, this husband suddenly don’t want to be the emperor anymore.” Li Hong Yuan directly gave Jing Wan a sudden clap of thunder.
Jing Wan’s expression froze in place, and afterwards, cracked little by little, “What are you joking about?”
Because he will be the emperor, her sitting onto the empress’s position, and subsequently, accepting the power of an empress, this was the correct cause and effect, and not because she wants to sit onto the empress’s position, thus fully supported her husband in fighting for the throne. That’s why, the empress’s position, for her, was just secondary. With it, she will accept all the power and responsibility, but without it, it also wasn’t that big of a deal. But now, he doesn’t want to be the emperor? For those that painstakingly worked for him, having shouldered enormous risks, walking to this step now, just as they were about to harvest the fruit of victory, he, as the boss, suddenly don’t want it anymore, would they agree? Afraid flying into a thundering rage would all be light. If provoked too much, they perhaps will just hang themselves to death outside Jin Qinwang Manor’s gates!
Moreover, Jing Wan has never considered the possibility of him not wanting to be the emperor, so she has already been planning some things, and only by sitting onto that position, having his full support, can it be carried out conveniently. These things, he was also aware of. If he doesn’t become the emperor, then won’t all her hard work be wasted? Alright, this also wasn’t completely unbearable. After all, it wasn’t really that arduous, but……..
TN: All
“Didn’t you say, even if not having a qualifying successor, you can still easily destroy it? But now, it’s wanting to yield it to others?”
“Even if others sit in that position, they will still just be a puppet.”
“That’s why, in the end, things still need to be decided by you, so why go through the extra step? Moreover, have you ever considered, even if our child is sufficiently talented, if not the imperial prince or imperial princess, then to want to sit onto that position, it’ll just be illegitimate, getting denounced by others. When we’re still present, I certainly won’t be worried, but once we’re gone, won’t our descendants just become the target determined to be eliminated by the puppet emperor’s branch? Also the descendants of those officials that are fully supporting you now, don’t underestimate the power of ‘settling the score after the fact’. Also, the members of the imperial clan, for the sake of interest and benefit, they can do anything. The things involved in this are too vast. That’s why, don’t just do whatever comes to mind, randomly being willful, alright?” Jing Wan really was powerless and helpless. She couldn’t help but jab his face with her hand.
Can you not do things that will make people go crazy?
Li Hong Yuan grasped her hand, lightly biting her fair and tender fingers, smiling without a word.
“Hey, what do you want to do, give a proper answer.” Jing Wan felt that he should be joking, but this bastard really was able to do anything. Whenever he ‘acts up’, she was also completely unable to guess his thoughts.
Towards her own future, Jing Wan suddenly produced heavy worries. Once her husband has all the power completely grasped in hand, then the entire world will be at the mercy of his whims. If he were to occasionally mess around on a whim, then that was just forcing people to go crazy in seconds. That’s why, it was better for him to not be the emperor? But, carefully thinking it over, his ability to cause trouble seemingly won’t reduce just because he didn’t sit onto that position. Moreover, as the emperor, they can still somewhat have him restrained in the imperial palace, and restrained in the capital, but if not the emperor, while also not having anyone above to impede him, then when he’s running around all over the world, how much trouble will he cause? No matter how one thinks about it, it all feels like a headache!
Seeing his own wife with a fretful look, always liking to think too much, he really was unable to do anything about her. Holding in his arms, he very much kissed to his heart’s content.
Jing Wan was unable to resist, just letting him kiss as he pleased, and after she got let go of, her lips were vividly red and glossy, appearing exceptionally bewitching.
Li Hong Yuan’s thumb lightly rubbed her lips, his smile not reducing, appearing very gentle. In addition to that peerlessly beautiful face, he was able to make one’s head spin in seconds.
However, Jing Wan’s immunity right now was absolutely formidable, truly unhesitantly rolling her eyes at him, slapping away his hand.
Li Hong Yuan naturally didn’t get angry, even smiling very happily.
Jing Wan looked to him, a bit confused inside. A certain someone seemingly was increasingly off. How come he just felt a bit excitable? Even though in the past, when acting up, there wasn’t this kind of situation, but the situation not appearing before didn’t mean that it didn’t exist on him.
Li Hong Yuan covered Jing Wan’s eyes with one hand, kissing the tip of her nose. His wife was still this lovable. He was merely cheering her up, yet her reactions were just this interesting.
Li Hong Yuan turned his body, having Jing Wan embraced in his arms, the side of his face rubbing against her hair. There won’t be anymore unforeseen changes on that matter. The only thing left……Li Hong Yuan lightly stroked Jing Wan’s stomach, his gaze a bit dark.
Jing Wan snuggled in his arms, turning back to look at him, “How’s the situation in the palace exactly? Originally, we were waiting in the manor with a tight formation, just waiting for people to come, yet in the end, there wasn’t even a shadow.” Jing Wan expressed, she wasn’t disappointed at all, really, not the least bit disappointed.
According to the plan, following the normal procedure of a rebellion, it was controlling the emperor and officials in the palace, while outside the palace, surround their respective residences. And if it’s the home of one’s enemy, there will probably even be an order to kill.
Jin Qinwang Manor, as the public enemy, certainly was the number one target to be attacked. Moreover, Jin Qinwang Manor attracting fire wasn’t just because of this, but also because of the countless wealth and riches.
Sure enough, heheh.
Li Hong Yuan had the situation in the palace roughly recounted.
“Then, in other words, towards Rui Qinwang, we’d actually underestimated him.” Jing Wan calmly said.
However, even if underestimating, it was still just that. Just like, for instance, they originally thought he was just sixty points, yet he achieved eighty points. But, in front of two hundred points, it was still just getting crushed.
As for whether or not it was true that he really didn’t want to be the emperor, this question, Jing Wan didn’t receive a clear answer, but she also didn’t continue asking.
In the following two days, despite having gone through a rebellion with many twists and turns, Jing Wan nevertheless felt that it wasn’t any different from before, for a time suspecting whether or not it was just a fake rebellion. Alright, that was indeed real, and the people that wanted to look for Jing Wan to pull connections, absolutely weren’t few, but Jin Qinwang Manor’s gates didn’t open. Even the thick-skinned He Shi Hai all got thrown out, so naturally, no one dared to come.
Reasonably speaking, Li Hong Yuan should be quite busy, but this really wasn’t the case. The matters in his hands were even less than before, idle to the point of growing mold. Jing Wan hesitantly looked at him several times. Seeing him throwing his work to others this casually, one can already foresee the pitiful state of the court officials in the future.
What Jing Wan didn’t know was that it won’t just be the court officials that will be pitiful, but also her.
Besides, the court officials’ misery actually has already begun. After the rebellion, there were many matters to deal with, but the emperor was still unconscious, while the future emperor ignored everything. Some things, the officials had the power to make suggestions, but didn’t have the power to decide. That’s why, it could only be postponed. Just, the people involved in the rebellion got pulled out one by one. The main offenders for the most part all entered the Black Clad Guards’ prison, while the rest, as well as their family members, all entered the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
Even if there were many intertwining roots, with many people involved in the matter, they still weren’t lenient, determined to have certain people pulled up by the roots.
