Chapter 2002 [Shangxie] Young Emperor
"His figure quickly disappeared through the palace gates, but the entire capital was in an uproar over his return. Those courtesans who had cried for days after his departure were overjoyed and even bought fine wine, waiting for the Crown Prince to come out and reminisce about the past. But who knew that when the Crown Prince left the palace again, he was no longer the Crown Prince, but His Majesty. And he didn't leave the palace to drink on the pleasure boat, but to go to war."

I don't know what the emperor was thinking at that time. He was probably sick and confused. Not only did he pass the throne to the prince, but he also asked the new emperor, who had just come of age, to lead the army to fight. Although His Royal Highness the Prince once debated with the Grand Tutor on equal terms in a military lesson, that was just theory after all. In the three years since the Prince left the palace, no one knew whether he had forgotten all those things.
As a result, the entire court and even the entire Chiwei were opposed to the new emperor's expedition. Ministers who came to advise him were all kicked out by the emperor without exception.
Everyone gave up and was waiting for the new emperor to be defeated.
No one would trust an inexperienced novice general, and no one would trust a young man who had just come from the underworld.
The enemy army did not believe it, and even the generals and people of Chiwei's own country did not believe it.
However, despite such distrust, the young emperor won his first victory outside Xueyu Pass a month later.
The whole country was shocked at that time, but the good news from the border town was not over yet.
The victory at Xueyu Pass was just the beginning. The young emperor began to gradually recover several lost cities, and even created a legend of sealing the border with one sword. With one sword, he incorporated the border town of Gumo into the territory of Chiwei, shocking all the enemy countries that were eyeing him covetously.

"Don't underestimate my simplicity, summarizing it in just a few sentences. This war actually lasted for more than half a year. During this time, great changes occurred in the palace. First, the retired emperor passed away, and then the empress dowager became depressed and committed suicide with her unborn child."
Cuinong's eyes dimmed.
"Although there was a regent at the time who controlled government affairs and monitored information, somehow the news still reached the border town and reached the ears of the emperor. It is said that the emperor was seriously injured on the battlefield and almost died."
A worried expression also appeared in Fu Yan's eyes, but Cuinong quickly said,
"Fortunately, the Emperor was blessed by heaven. Although he was unconscious for a few days, he soon regained consciousness and returned to the capital with his army. The day he returned to the capital was the season when the Chiwei flowers were in full bloom. The streets were covered with bright red flowers. The people of Shenjing City, whether rich or poor, whether they were street vendors or big business owners, filled both sides of the street. The sound of them kneeling and shouting "Long live the Emperor" could almost shake the entire capital. The daughters of wealthy families and prostitutes who had once secretly loved the Emperor all shamelessly threw handkerchiefs and flowers at him. When His Majesty entered the palace, his body was covered with Chiwei flower petals."
"We all thought everything was peaceful. Even though the late emperor had passed away, His Majesty's triumphant return had shown everyone his incredible talent. Everyone believed that Chiwei Nation would become even more powerful under his leadership, and it was even possible to reclaim all of the Shenzhou Continent. Unfortunately..."
Cuinong lowered her eyes and sighed deeply.
"Unfortunately, after the Emperor had held a national funeral for the late Emperor, he fell ill. The Imperial Physician said it was a flare-up of a hidden injury sustained on the battlefield, coupled with excessive worry. The entire Imperial Hospital was busy caring for him, trying every possible means to barely revive him. However, he developed a persistent illness, and his body became extremely weak. He only attended court once briefly, and he never appeared in the Golden Throne Hall again."
