Chapter 624 Ending
Jun Moye stood up and took the edict of repentance that Qinggu handed over, which contained the heavy sins of Emperor Tianyuan. After confirming the contents, he looked at Emperor Tianyuan and spoke slowly.
"Since Emperor Tianyuan has realized his guilt and admitted his mistakes, shouldn't he make appropriate compensation for the incident at the Prince of Qin's Mansion? How can we redeem the lives lost due to the unjust case, the pain and sacrifice of those families who were exiled?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan's face turned even paler. He had no choice but to remain silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"I will issue an order to restore the reputation of the Qin Palace and redress the injustice done to all families harmed by the injustice. I will also provide relief to their orphans and do my best to atone for my mistakes."
Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice after hearing this.
"My father and mother passed away on the road to exile due to this unfounded crime. Since this was caused by Emperor Tianyuan, please bring their remains back to me. I ask Emperor Tianyuan to appoint a new emperor, and have him accompany me to carry my father and mother's coffins back to the imperial city."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan was so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood and spoke in a somewhat intermittent voice.
"Jun Moye, you, don't go too far..."
Jun Moyong hurriedly supported Emperor Tianyuan.
"Father, calm down and be careful with your dragon body."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan raised his hand and waved Jun Moyong away.
"Haven't you always been on good terms with him? Why did things develop like this? Or are you also eyeing the position of crown prince and have been colluding with him for a long time?"
Jun Moyong spoke hurriedly upon hearing this.
"Father, this matter..."
She felt a little guilty, after all, she relied on Jun Moye's guidance in many things. She took a deep breath and tried to calm the turbulent waves in her heart, knowing that she had to deal with it calmly.
"Father, I have never coveted the position of crown prince, but I know full well that the peace of the imperial family is closely linked to the prosperity and decline of the nation. Today's events have been witnessed by all the civil and military officials in the court. If the injustice of the Prince of Qin's Mansion is not redressed, the foundation of the nation will be shaken. Father, Tianyuan has already experienced a turbulent period, and we must consider its future."
Emperor Tianyuan looked at Jun Moyong with complex emotions in his eyes. Although his son seemed gentle on weekdays, he was actually a thoughtful person with his own judgment and persistence.
But at this moment, the anger and unwillingness in his heart were difficult to calm down.
"Good, great for Tianyuan's future!"
Looking at Jun Moye coldly.
"I never thought that I would be forced into such a situation by a prince who was once regarded as a waste. Jun Moye, you are truly worthy of being his son."
Then he looked at Jun Moyong, looked at the ministers, and finally spoke dejectedly.
"I will do as you wish."
Then he raised his hand and began to write the imperial edict.
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims, 'Since I ascended the throne, I have inherited the virtues of my ancestors and, under the protection of Heaven and Earth, have brought prosperity to the country and happiness to the people. Now, there is a prince, Jun Moyong, of excellent character and exceptional talent, who has earned my heart and the respect and love of the people of the court and the country.'"
To strengthen the foundations of our nation and carry on the legacy, I have decided to appoint our son, Jun Moyong, as Crown Prince to inherit the throne. I hope that Crown Prince Moyong will uphold filial piety, govern diligently and care for the people, and foster a wide range of talented individuals to safeguard the eternal foundation of our dynasty.
So ordered! "
After Tian Yuan finished writing, he threw the imperial edict to Jun Moyong and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Jun Moyong hurriedly caught his falling body.
"Father."
Seeing Emperor Tianyuan turned pale and fainted.
Jun Moyong shouted in an anxious tone.
"Someone, call the imperial physician quickly."
Jun Moye spoke slowly.
"Your Highness, the court has just quelled the rebellion. Emperor Tianyuan is in such a predicament that he still needs Your Highness to step in and stabilize the situation. How about moving Emperor Tianyuan to the Yangxin Palace? You are still needed there."
Jun Moyong naturally understood the current situation and had no choice but to nod.
"Come here, send the emperor back to the Yangxin Palace. Please ask Consort De and Consort Liang to accompany him."
Wait until Emperor Tianyuan is sent back to the Yangxin Palace.
Prime Minister Yun exchanged glances with several ministers around him, and they nodded slightly.
Prime Minister Yun took the lead in bowing.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince congratulates us."
Jun Moyong looked at the courtiers who were congratulating him, and then turned his gaze to Jun Moye.
Jun Moye nodded slightly at him.
Jun Moyong looked at the ministers and spoke.
"Everyone, please stand. I know you are all pillars of the court. My father is ill, but the operation of the country cannot be stopped for a single day. I have just ascended the throne, and I still need your full support to contribute to the prosperity and stability of Tianyuan.
As for the matter regarding the Prince of Qin's mansion, since the Emperor has issued an edict to redress the injustice, then everything will be handled in accordance with the Emperor's wishes."
Upon seeing this, the ministers bowed again.
"Your Highness is wise, and we are willing to assist you wholeheartedly to stabilize the country."
Jun Moyong then turned his gaze to Jun Moye, still speaking with a respectful tone.
"My cousin, the Emperor's uncle is also my biological uncle. It is my filial duty to travel to the Road of Exile to bring him and the Emperor's aunt back. However, you have seen the current situation at court. Could you please let Prince Jing accompany you? Once the coffins of the Emperor's uncle and aunt arrive at the outskirts of the imperial city, I will lead the entire court to greet them."
Jun Moye nodded upon hearing this.
"You are the new crown prince, so you should focus on court affairs. Let's do as you say!"
This palace turmoil finally ended with Jun Moyong, who was supported by Jun Moye, becoming the crown prince. The imperial physician diagnosed that Emperor Tianyuan would not have much time left, and Zheng'er was no longer in good spirits. Concubine De and Concubine Liang would accompany him tomorrow.
Jun Moyong was busy with court affairs every day.
Half a month later, the coffins of the King of Qin and his wife were transported to the imperial city. Upon receiving the news, Jun Moyong went to welcome them early with civil and military officials. The gate of the King of Qin's Palace was opened again. After many years, the funeral of the King of Qin and his wife was held in the King of Qin's Palace with the ceremony of a prince, and the crown prince came in person to mourn.
It was not until the funeral was over and the King of Qin and his wife were buried in the imperial mausoleum that Jun Moye and Su Hanchu arranged for people to guard the imperial mausoleum before they set off to return to Baise City to reunite with their families.
