Chapter 481 The Awkward Uncle

Luo Jingfeng disagreed. He said in a cold voice: "These people dared to bully the prince before, who can guarantee that they will not bully you in the future? Cheng'er, you can't be soft-hearted when you become an emperor. It would be the easiest to kill them all. Otherwise, if someone as weak and vulnerable as Chu Heng is bullied, anyone would dare to step on him. How can you sit firmly on the throne?"

Jin Cheng did not agree with the prince's ignoring them, but he also did not support Luo Jingfeng's extreme killing.

"You have already killed several princes. If you kill more, you will become Prince Yan." The little devil rolled his eyes at him and said, "Those who have evil intentions towards Your Highness should be imprisoned."

Luo Jingfeng smiled when he heard this: "Okay, then let's spare their lives. Anyway, the most dangerous ones have already been killed... My Cheng'er is kind and still cares about the lives of these idiots."

Jincheng was speechless.

He felt that if the person couldn't speak, then there was no need to force a conversation, as every word he heard made him want to roll his eyes.

Luo Jingfeng continued to talk to him: "Your uncle can't make it to your coronation ceremony, so he will probably send some Yunnan specialties over. Do you want to eat anything? I'll call..."

Jin Cheng interrupted his flattery and asked directly: "Are you here to apologize?"

Luo Jingfeng had said all sorts of weird things since he came in. It was obvious that he regretted it after learning the truth yesterday and wanted to apologize and make peace with him. But he kept talking about irrelevant things and didn't get to the point.

Luo Jingfeng was exposed by his nephew, and he was a little embarrassed. He said stubbornly: "I, what do I have to apologize for? I am not wrong! I asked Chu Heng so many times before, but he didn't tell me a word. How can I know if he is guilty or not!"

When Luo Jingfeng said this, his eyes were a little dazed, and it was obvious that he felt guilty, but...

He really is worthy of being his uncle.

His stubborn character is exactly the same as before.

The little devil finally understood how his mother felt when she looked at him before.

It's really obvious.

It's like having no clothes on, stupid and annoying.

Jin Cheng stared at him with her dark eyes. After a long silence, she said, "Just like you have to say thank you when you express your gratitude, you also have to say sorry when you apologize."

Luo was shocked: “???”

What? Sorry?

There are no such three words in his world!

The proud Lord Protector of the State stood up immediately. He met his eldest nephew's serious gaze, looked outside, then at his nephew, and finally said awkwardly, "Memorize the list well. I'll pick you up for the coronation ceremony tomorrow."

Jin Cheng: “…”

The child is already useless.

Luo Jingfeng strode out. Just when the little devil thought that the matter was over, he turned back and said, "If you want Chu Heng to live in the East Palace, then keep him there until he gets better. When he gets better, he must move to Ruining Palace. Otherwise, what's the point of living in the palace all the time?"

Having said this, he left again.

This time he really left.

The little devil looked at his back with complicated emotions.

Although Luo Jingfeng did not apologize to him and His Highness, he had made all the necessary concessions. Actually... he is not that bad, right?

The next day, the coronation ceremony took place.

With three assistant ministers supervising the process and the Minister of Rites presiding over the ceremony, Eunuch Huang read out the edict of succession in public. Witnessed by everyone, the new emperor Chu Jincheng accepted the worship of all officials and formally succeeded to the throne.

Chu Jincheng said loudly: "I have succeeded to the throne today, and I will do my best to serve the people. From now on, I will grant amnesty to the whole world, exempt taxes, reduce corvée labor, and unite with the people of the world."

Everyone shouted in unison: "Long live our emperor."

The common people do not understand state affairs, but they understand the good benefits that the new emperor brings after ascending the throne.

And... I only heard that the new emperor had a very good relationship with the former crown prince. Not only did the former crown prince voluntarily give up his throne to the new emperor, but he also avenged the former crown prince and imprisoned several princes who had bullied him.

This action gradually made the people tend to favor the new emperor.

Chu Jincheng's succession was very smooth.

That night, the retired emperor died of illness, and his last edict was finally published:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:

After my death, the funeral will be kept simple and the national mourning period will be shortened from twenty-seven days to three days to reduce the burden on the people.

I reinstate the four great ministers: Duke of Protector Luo Jingfeng, King of Zhennan Luo Jingyun, General of Zhenxi Zong Zhao, and Prime Minister Shen Qixian.

I hope you will loyally assist the new emperor, fulfill your duties, and work together to ensure peace in the world. You should put the country first and the people first, and not slack off in the slightest. If you disobey, you will be severely punished.

I appreciate that.”

"Dong——" the funeral bell in the imperial city rang.

There were blocks of ice placed next to the late emperor's body, and nothing would have happened if it had been there for two or three days. However, after Luo Jingfeng learned the cause of Luo Shu's death, he rushed over in rage and cut him into pieces. If he hadn't been held back by someone, he would have really chopped him into pieces.

Eunuch Huang horrifiedly cleaned up all the rotten things, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the late emperor was sent to the imperial mausoleum.

The Duke of Huguo is indeed a person that the late emperor has feared for more than ten years. He looks so fierce that he is just like Yan Luo in the world. It is so scary...

Eunuch Huang, who had retired after achieving success, prepared poison to commit suicide. He had followed the late emperor for so long, and it was already a mercy that Luo Jingfeng spared the lives of his family members, so he naturally did not dare to cause trouble again.

But just as he was about to raise the poison, a memorial came flying over and knocked down the small bottle that was about to be used to take the poison away.

Eunuch Huang looked towards the door and exclaimed in shock: "Your Majesty!"

The little devil came in wearing a little dragon robe and said with a smile: "Eunuch Huang, don't worry, I have already told my father... and General Zong that I want to keep you here, you don't have to die!"

Eunuch Huang was so old that he was frightened that he burst into tears. He knelt on the ground, buried his head, and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I appreciate the kindness of you and General Zong, but I have already promised the Duke of the Protectorate, and I dare not disobey... I am a worthless person with a heavy crime, and it is not worth it for you two to quarrel with the Duke of the Protectorate. This is all voluntary. I am willing to accompany the late emperor!"

Chu Jincheng squatted in front of him and said, "Don't be afraid. The Duke of Huguo is my uncle. General Zong and I have agreed. He will definitely not object. Eunuch Huang, there is no one I can trust around me. Can you be loyal to me and be loyal to me?"

Eunuch Huang raised his head with tears in his eyes: "I am so grateful for the emperor's trust. Even if I really die, I will be the emperor's most loyal ghost!"

The little devil chuckled, he stood up and said: "Well, get up and work quickly, I still need to issue tokens, you come and serve me closely."

"Yes!" Eunuch Huang wiped his tears, stood up and chased after him with a smile.

In the study.

Chu Jincheng looked at a pile of tokens on the table. They were all newly cast and had his unique reign title on them. Eunuch Huang was explaining what they were used for.

The little devil grabbed a command token and heard Eunuch Huang say, "This is the token for commanding the imperial guards. Command is a fifth-rank official position, usually held by a military commander with strong martial arts skills and a strong family background."

Chu Jincheng said "oh" and threw it to Bu Yan: "Go on."

A perfect parabola was successfully delivered to the target person.

No words: "!!!"

Oh my God! ! Are you finally seeing the light?

He, a guard and thug in the Marquis's mansion, was promoted to the commander of the palace! !

A fifth-rank official position!!!

How many levels have you upgraded?

Bu Yan started to count on his fingers... and found out:

Dad! Mom! My dear uncle!

I have made it!

I finally made it through this little devil!!!
