The Hongyuan era ended that winter, and the new year ushered in a new dynasty.

After Prince Yin ascended the throne, he changed the country's name to Changle and honored Prince Yin as the Supreme Emperor. The Crown Prince's wife became the new Empress of the harem and took over the power from Concubine Hui. She was quite capable and managed the harem in less than half a month, saving the Emperor a lot of trouble.

All the people in the harem were promoted to be concubines.

The emperor did not make things difficult for them. He only said that if they had children, they could go with them to their fiefdoms to enjoy their old age. If they did not, the royal gardens on the outskirts of the city would be a good place for them to live out their old age.

As soon as this decree was issued, the emperor's reputation for benevolence and leniency spread further and further.

Therefore, even if many people have grievances in their hearts, they have no place to vent them at this moment.

In the Earl's Palace.

The people in the Yan family were like defeated dogs, either acting weird or sighing all day long.

Prince Rong, who was supposed to be sitting on that seat, became a corpse, and the empress dowager, who was supposed to support their Earl's Mansion to have a better future, became a mad person. So when Marquis Yan saw his eldest son coming back, he was furious.

"Why did you come back? You're a traitor. If I had known you were such a person, I should have beaten you to death when you were born. Your sister and nephew died and went crazy because of him. Can't you see that? You even helped the spineless Xing family to push him to the top? I really underestimated your ability!"

"I will just watch and see if you are still alive when the emperor has established his foothold. Humph, even if you die by then, I will not let you, a bastard, be buried in the ancestral tomb!"

Every word uttered by Lord Yan was filled with hatred, which made the Countess and eldest daughter-in-law Li very worried. They were afraid that if something went wrong, he would even remove Minister Li from the family name, which would be a true severance of the relationship between father and son.

When Minister Li heard this, he showed no expression. It was obvious that he didn't care about his father's threat.

He took a letter and handed it to Lord Yan, then said with a slightly sad look in his eyes.

"This is what Prince Rong wrote before he died. It's not too late to scold him after you read it, father."

Prince Rong’s last work?

After hearing this, not only Lord Yan, but even the Countess and Mrs. Li were quite surprised.

They were the first to arrive when the incident happened in the palace, but after checking everywhere, they found no signs of fighting, not even the doors and windows were damaged.

Therefore, even though they knew that Prince Rong had died, and that the murderer must be related to the emperor, they could not produce any evidence. Now, how come there was suddenly a suicide note? Lord Yan took it with half belief and half doubt, and when he unfolded it, he saw that it was indeed the handwriting of Prince Rong.

It clearly stated that his death had nothing to do with anyone, and he hoped that the Earl's Mansion and his mother could let it go. The Daxing Dynasty needed a more influential person to lead it, and if his existence would cause some controversy, he would rather leave first.

Every word showed that he was seeking death voluntarily, and Lord Yan originally thought that he could do something with this suicide note, but in the end he got nothing.

He sat dejectedly on the armchair, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.

"Prince Rong has paved the way with his life. If my father doesn't leave, I will leave. The Earl's Mansion should be better, and the same is true for the Daxing Dynasty. If you still can't let it go, then whether to expel me or remove me from the list is up to you, and your son will never say anything more."

After saying this, Minister Li knelt down in front of Lord Yan.

He had once made plans for Prince Rong, and thought that the Yan family would achieve unprecedented glory in the hands of their generations, but with the passing of Prince Rong, all these became illusions.

It's just a dream, it's time to wake up.

Regardless of other things, it can be seen from the policies issued by the emperor in the one month since he took office that his ambitions are not limited to this.

Minister Li considered himself a wise minister, and it was one of his lifelong wishes to work with a wise monarch to create a peaceful and prosperous era, so he stood up to support Minister Xing when he was spreading the word.

This support also enabled him to successfully ascend to the throne and become the famous Prime Minister Yan during the Changle period.

When Minister Yan left, Marquis Yan did not say anything.

Madam Li asked anxiously as she accompanied him back to the yard.

"My husband, were your words just now too harsh? If my father-in-law is devastated by this, what will our Earl's Mansion do?"

"Father is not stupid. He naturally knows what to do next. He just needs to get over the hurdle in his heart."

It is not certain whether the Earl's Mansion will still be known by this name in the future.

Minister Yan did not say anything about this, but giving up a useless title of earl in exchange for a brighter future, this deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it!

Sure enough, it was just as he expected.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Three days later, Marquis Yan wrote a letter personally, expressing his willingness to use the title of Marquis to exchange for the return home of the crazy Queen Yan. When this news came out, the court and the public were shocked.

In the hall, the emperor frowned as he looked at Lord Yan who was kneeling respectfully on the ground in front of him, and spoke in a loud voice.

"The Marquis is old, there is no need to kneel all the time. Eunuch Liu, go and give him a hand."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

But before Eunuch Liu could even walk down the stairs, he was rejected by Marquis Yan.

His expression was unusually resolute. He had been following Prince Rong for these years and had been considered quite prestigious in the court. But now he would actually exchange his inherited title for a crazy daughter. Everyone found it incomprehensible.

Although it is natural for a person to love his daughter deeply, that is a title!

How many people have waited for something that they could never get, only to give it up in exchange for a useless queen?

The emperor knew exactly what the ministers were thinking.

The emperor had no idea what Marquis Yan was thinking. He thought that the Earl's Mansion was going to fight him for a while and had already made preparations. However, before he could even start, the Earl's Mansion surrendered.

There was a moment's silence, and everyone thought that the emperor would gladly accept the request, but he spoke with the attitude of a magnanimous and benevolent monarch instead.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to exchange your title. I can also let Queen Yan leave the palace. The imperial doctors are helpless against her condition. Perhaps she can get better if she stays with people close to her. This is also a great thing."

"I have made up my mind to resign. I beg Your Majesty to grant my permission. After Queen Yan leaves the palace, we will leave Sui'an City. I want to take her to visit famous doctors. If she can be cured, it will be the end of my wish. But if she can't be cured, it will be more fun to accompany her to walk around and relax than to stay at home all the time." (End of this chapter)
