Wei's father was truly surprised that Yan Ling, who seemed loyal to the emperor and patriotic and reliable, would be in cahoots with his son. As he continued to think about it, he sensed something fishy.
"Could it be that he also rebelled because he was dissatisfied with Emperor Jiande's intention to bestow a marriage between him and Mu Ruoling?"
Emperor Xiu: "..."
001 was surprised: "So that's how he interpreted the sentence 'discovering that Emperor Jiande was not a wise ruler'?"
However, it seems that there is some truth to it. The love, hate, and grudges of these three lifetimes ultimately seem to stem from this seemingly trivial matter.
If Mu Ruoling hadn't been so obsessed with Wei Zixiao, and if Emperor Jiande hadn't been so foolish as to force a marriage, this messy story probably wouldn't have happened.
When facing Wei's father, Di Xiu answered every question, but opinions differed on the truthfulness of his answers. Finally, he asked, "Will Father come back to help his son?"
Father Wei shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm old, I should go back and enjoy my retirement."
Emperor Xiu did not insist, and was even quite satisfied.
As the head of the Wei family, Wei's father's attitude reflects the family's attitude. If the Wei family takes advantage of the situation to grow stronger, it could cause problems for Emperor Xiu. Now that he's in this position, if the Wei family becomes arrogant and overbearing, he might have to disregard his mission and take appropriate measures to suppress them.
Fortunately, Wei's father was clear-headed.
Di Xiu remembered something else, and casually started chatting about family matters again: "Brother, have you taken a fancy to any girls lately?"
Wei's father glanced at Di Xiu, pondering why he, still a single man himself, kept urging his younger brother to get married and have children. Or did he know something, implying that his youngest son actually had a girl he liked but dared not say it for some reason?
Father Wei's mind raced, and he decided to interrogate his youngest son properly when he got back. But for the time being, he pretended not to have found anything and said with a troubled expression, "Not yet. He's impulsive and unruly. Your mother and I were thinking of finding him a wife to keep him in check, but he just can't stand any of them. We can't force him. They have to live their own lives. Forcing them into a unhappy marriage would only make things worse."
As he said this, Wei's father used the teacup as a cover to observe Di Xiu's expression, but he couldn't see anything. He thought to himself that his eldest son was good enough at keeping his emotions hidden, but he wondered how he would fare in governing the country and bringing peace to the people.
well!
“What Father said makes sense.”
Hmm? Oh, we can't force it, so does the youngest son really have a girl he likes?
Di Xiu was completely unaware that he had unwittingly tricked Wei Ziren.
Father Wei then asked his eldest son, "Eldest son, what about you? Now that you are about to become emperor, the harem should be filled. Have you already chosen an empress?"
Emperor Xiu had no intention of having a harem or having offspring. In his original world, immortal partners were all about one-on-one relationships, and the worlds he experienced afterward were the same. He had no interest in building a large harem now, and he could even push away Su Wanrou if he could.
—Judging from one's own experience, the original owner of this body probably wouldn't want someone to use his body to be intimate with the person he loves and have children.
In this era, it was possible to adopt a son, so wasn't he hoping that Wei Ziren would have one soon?
What he thought in his heart was something else entirely: "The new dynasty has just been established, and we are surrounded by enemy countries. I have no interest in matters of the harem for the time being."
"Then an empress should be chosen."
"Father, there's no rush."
"Alas, so be it. Heming, this is the last time I will call you that. Now that you have decided to take this position, do it well and live up to the expectations of the people. Do you understand?"
"Thanks to Father's teachings, I understand."
After exchanging a few more words, Wei's father took his leave. The emperor ordered a palanquin to be prepared to escort him out of the palace, and then handed the imperial edict, which had been prepared in advance, to Li Youcai.
Wei's father and mother naturally expected that their son would rise in status and become the retired emperor and empress dowager. This imperial edict was given to Wei Ziren, who was granted the title of Prince of Jin.
Another half month passed, and with the embroiderers working overtime, the dragon robe was finally completed, and the enthronement ceremony was ready. During this time, anyone who wanted to cause trouble was dragged into prison.
On the day of the coronation ceremony, countless people gathered around the Temple of Heaven, blocked by bright yellow cordon tape. Even so, those at the front tiptoed and craned their necks, trying to get closer and catch a glimpse of the new founding emperor of the Xia Kingdom.
Seeing the cordon loosened and broken, the Imperial Guards struggled to maintain order, shouting and yelling.
As the bugle and drum sounded, deep and solemn, the people involuntarily held their breath and fell silent.
Below the steps of the Temple of Heaven, a figure dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and wearing a twelve-tassel crown stood tall. In the sunlight, lifelike five-clawed golden dragons coiled around the young emperor, exuding a magnificent aura.
The Temple of Heaven has three levels, each with nine steps. He ascended the platform step by step, exuding an indescribable aura. Then he offered sacrifices to Heaven, received the imperial seal, and his subjects shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
Suddenly, a natural mutation.
Above the clear sky, a golden dragon emerged from the clouds, majestic and awe-inspiring, soaring through the clouds and displaying its might. Suddenly, it bowed its head and swooped down towards the Temple of Heaven, circling above the new emperor's head once. It let out a long roar to its subjects and then transformed into golden light, merging with the new emperor.
The people were stunned by the scene, and the historian, beaming with pride, wrote furiously.
Di Xiu lowered his eyes to look at 001, who was recording a video below the steps. The latter waved vigorously at him with a bright smile.
001 clearly could communicate via telepathy, but instead of megaphones, he shouted, "Great God, if you're going to be an emperor, you have to have the most extravagant entourage. If others have auspicious omens, you must have them too!"
This "other person" probably refers to Yanling in the timeline.
After the coronation ceremony, Emperor Xiu officially became emperor, adopting the reign title Yongxing.
Emperor Xiu started waking up earlier than the rooster and going to bed later than the dog.
Given Emperor Jiande's final actions, he left behind a mess that was far from pleasant.
