Yan Chengye clenched his fists, "What about the real father?"
"Dead." Yan Chengfeng stroked the engraving on the cup with his fingertips, "He was seriously injured by the assassins of Yan Tingyu faction. He is dead."
"Who is he?"
"Our uncle, the twin son of our real father, born from the same mother."
"Why would he say it now? Isn't he afraid that we will tell others?"
Yan Chengfeng glanced at them and smiled, "Just say it, do you think he is afraid? On the first day he came to power, he killed Li Tengyu, demoted and promoted people, and implemented new policies. Who would not obey him now?"
"Even if they knew, the officials would only praise the emperor for his wisdom, and the people would only praise the emperor for his wisdom."
What the people care about is who can feed them and keep them warm, and sometimes they don't need to care that much about who sits in a high position.
Yan Tinglan is fearless. If there is any turmoil in the imperial court, he will suppress it with the most iron-blooded means. Even if it is bloody, it will be the method with the least loss.
To put it bluntly, the court today is a one-man show led by Yan Tinglan.
Yan Chengfeng stood up.
"Brother, do you hate me?" Yan Chengye asked before he left.
Yan Chengfeng stopped and said, "Your biological mother died, but I am alive. I have no resentment or joy towards you."
After being with Yan Tinglan for a long time, he became like him.
In his previous life, he was a numb puppet, watching the even more ridiculous them being instigated to sink into power and interests. But the final winner was Yan Tingyu. So who lived a better life than who?
He was poisoned to death by a cup of poisoned wine. He was the oldest, but they died earlier than him and their fate was even more miserable than his.
Returning to Fengyi Palace, he looked at An An waving at him, "Brother, come and eat!"
Yan Chengfeng smiled faintly, his eyes were gentle, "Okay."
…
On the second day after Yan Chengfeng and Meng Lingxi's wedding, Yan Tinglan announced his true identity in the court, causing an uproar.
The officials were discussing, and Zhang Zhiyuan was the first to kneel down, "Long live the emperor. Without the emperor, there would be no peace and prosperity, and the people would not be happy today!"
"Without the Emperor, there would be no clean government and prosperous politics today!"
"If there were no emperor, there would be no peace on the border today, and there would be no Zhang Zhiyuan today!"
"Long live the emperor!!"
The other officials fell silent upon hearing this and also knelt down, "Long live the emperor!"
"Your Majesty is a man of great wisdom and military strategy, and Daxia will prosper!"
"Please stand up, my lords." Yan Tinglan lowered his eyes and looked at the officials below, "I have another announcement to make today."
"Yesterday, the eldest prince Yan Chengfeng got married. I have trained him for several years and he is now qualified to be a king. From today on, I will abdicate the throne to the eldest prince Yan Chengfeng."
"I hope you will give us all your help to create a prosperous era."
"Resign."
Yan Tinglan announced the adjournment of the court without waiting for them to react.
After the officials reacted, they wanted to step forward, but were stopped by the imperial guards.
"Commander Wei, the emperor is in his prime, why would he suddenly abdicate?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked Wei Anqing who was stopping him.
"The emperor has his own considerations." Wei Anqing said with a straight face.
In fact, the emperor just doesn't want to do it anymore. He has trained the new emperor and can give up his responsibility.
After handing over all his power, Yan Tinglan bid farewell to the Queen Mother and traveled with his wife and daughter.
The next day, Yan Chengfeng took his wife to Fengyi Palace for a meal, but found that the palace was empty. His fake father only left him a note asking him to succeed to the throne.
"Xi'er, they left me, and you are all I have." Yan Chengfeng hugged his wife and said depressedly.
Meng Lingxi took the note, glanced at the words on the back, and blushed a little.
Yan Chengfeng looked at her expression, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"My mother told me to wait until I'm eighteen before having a child," she said a little embarrassedly.
During the more than ten years that Yan Tinglan was in power, the weather was good and the people were prosperous.
Wei Anqing successfully brought back high-yield grain varieties from overseas, which greatly increased grain production and reduced famine to a great extent.
Various policies to strengthen agriculture and promote commerce have led to the prosperity of social life, improved agricultural varieties, fertile farmland, and prosperous markets.
