Rather than saying that Doctor Han believed in the emperor, it would be more accurate to say that he believed in his granddaughter, Song Lan!
“Father, His Majesty has known gratitude since he was a child. Besides, with the Empress Dowager around, he will not do anything to harm the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion.”
Han smiled and said, "Upon hearing this, Doctor Han shook his head: 'Lan'er is not worried about what the emperor will do to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. She is worried that if the next emperor listens to slander, he will take action against your mansion.'"
"I will explain my concerns to the Emperor, and I believe the Emperor will make arrangements for the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the future."
The "future" that Song Pengju spoke of undoubtedly referred to the day before the emperor's death. He was able to say this not because he believed that the emperor was his grandson and would leave some kind of will to protect the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, but because he believed that the emperor was moved by the sacrifice made by his youngest daughter, Lan'er, and would therefore protect the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Moreover, the Duke of Zhenguo's family has been loyal and virtuous for generations. Many of them died on the battlefield to prevent the people on the border from being burned, killed, and plundered by the Tartars.
A wise ruler would never target the Duke's mansion arbitrarily!
Furthermore, his Lan'er died on the battlefield and was unexpectedly reborn. She did not forget that the people of Daxia were starving and cold. She used magical means to send high-yield crops from another world to Daxia. As the emperor and Lan'er's nephew, if the emperor were to maliciously speculate about the Duke's Mansion or do something irrational, then his conscience would be devoured by dogs.
If such a day were to come, Song Pengju felt he had nothing more to say. It would be nothing more than everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion going to the Yellow Springs, but the people of Great Xia and people of later generations would surely be able to testify for the Duke's mansion!
"Emperors have always been ruthless."
Han said, "But let's do what we should do, and we'll talk about the future later!"
So what if the Duke of Zhenguo's family is the emperor's maternal family?
When faced with their own interests, people are willing to eliminate their own maternal relatives, commit patricide and framing, and frame loyal ministers with fabricated charges. Hasn't this happened before in history?
"Alright, now that you've figured everything out, do as you see fit."
The Divine Physician Valley does not participate in the affairs of the imperial court. At worst, after his death, he will leave a message for his successor, so that if the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion encounters a calamity due to the royal family, he can appear at the right time to do his best to preserve a trace of the Duke's bloodline.
Of course, it would be best if we could keep them all!
He has quite a few disciples in the Divine Doctor Valley, and each of them is skilled in martial arts. Many of them are highly skilled in martial arts, and some are even exceptionally cunning... In short, none of them are invincible.
-
The next day.
The Imperial Palace.
Song Pengju left the Valley of Divine Physicians and entered the palace alone. At this moment, he had just been helped up and given a seat by Emperor Wenzhao.
"I wonder what business the Duke of Zhenguo has with me?"
Emperor Wenzhao looked at Song Pengju, his maternal grandfather, with a gentle expression.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Song Peng stopped talking, glanced at Yuanbao, and seeing this, Emperor Wenzhao understood. He casually waved his hand at Yuanbao and then instructed, "Go outside and guard the Imperial Study. Do not allow anyone to come near it!"
Yuanbao accepted the order and left the Imperial Study.
After the door to the imperial study opened and closed, Song Pengju finally revealed the purpose of his visit to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhanbei appeared to me in a dream the night before last through a strange thing called the System, saying that she was reborn in another world after dying in battle..."
Before Song Pengju could finish speaking, Emperor Wenzhao suddenly stood up: "Grandfather, what did you say? My aunt is still alive?" Emperor Wenzhao asked excitedly to confirm.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhanbei has been reborn into another world, but it could also be said that she is still alive. The reason I have come to see Your Majesty today is that Marquis Zhanbei has sent something to our Great Xia."
Just yesterday, my wife and I went to the Valley of the Divine Healer, where we saw that the items sent by Marquis Zhanbei through the system were genuine. Only then did we believe that my dream from the previous night was not a lie. Therefore, this morning I returned to the capital and went to the palace to report to His Majesty on the items Marquis Zhanbei had sent to Great Xia.
"Grandpa, there are no outsiders in this Imperial Study, so you don't need to be so polite with me!"
Emperor Wenzhao's eyes filled with tears as he looked directly at Song Pengju. Upon hearing this, Song Pengju bowed and said, "Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between the noble and the lowly; I cannot disrupt the established order!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wenzhao looked helpless: "But the person standing before you now is not the emperor, but your own grandson!" He walked around the imperial desk, approached Song Pengju, grasped his hand, and his eyes, brimming with tears, were exceptionally sincere.
"If it weren't for your, my uncles', and my aunt's contributions, I wouldn't be who I am today. Grandpa, you really don't need to be so polite with me. At least when there are no outsiders around, please just treat me as your grandson, okay?"
Seeing the sincerity in Emperor Wenzhao's eyes, Song Pengju finally gave up and nodded slightly: "Alright!"
"Grandpa, could you tell me again about my aunt... my aunt really was reborn in another world?"
Emperor Wenzhao was confirming this, fearing that he had been hallucinating.
"Hong'er, your aunt did indeed die in battle and was reborn in another world, but she did not forget the Great Xia, did not forget Your Majesty, and did not forget the people of the Great Xia. Therefore, through a magical object called the System, she appeared in my dreams with my maternal grandmother, your great-grandfather, and said that she is now in a peaceful world, that the people there have enough to eat and wear, and that everyone is living happily."
So, she had the system send us three high-yield grain crops, as well as cotton that can be used to make warm clothing... and also gave us planting methods and related precautions for those seeds, and instructions on how to eat and use them.
The items are stored in Divine Healer Valley. You can arrange what to do next!
As Song Pengju finished speaking, Emperor Wenzhao's eyes were filled with disbelief. He couldn't help but say, "Everything I said is true..." Before he could finish, Emperor Wenzhao interrupted him, "I don't disbelieve my grandfather, I just find it hard to believe!"
