Chapter 432: Epilogue: Imperial City 2
Cui Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and then he nodded: "I understand what he means."
These two titles are actually pointing out the shortcomings of the two people.
Yan Xingchuan hoped that Shen Sui could have some brains, distinguish right from wrong, and know his own identity and what he should and should not do. Otherwise, no matter how great his contributions were, he might not have a good ending in the future.
As for Cui Jing, he came from a noble family, the most outstanding one among the noble families that defected to Dayan. The Cui family had always been known for their benevolence and virtue. Even in the troubled times of the past, they were able to protect the people and were praised by the people.
Yan Xingchuan meant that he hoped Cui Jing and the Cui family members would not forget "benevolence, righteousness, and virtue", so he got the word "benevolence".
This is both a reminder and a warning.
Shen Sui must take care of himself, and Cui Jing must take care of his family. Now that they have reached high positions, they should not forget their original intentions, and they must not act recklessly.
Cui Si said: "It's good that you understand. You still need to worry about the Cui family's affairs. It doesn't matter if it affects me. I don't have anything to affect. I'm just worried that they will affect A'Du and harm my family."
"By the way, when will you return to Xianyang City to pick up Grandma?"
"Let's go back before the New Year, and come back after the New Year..."
The three siblings talked for a long time, discussing the possible troubles that the Cui family might encounter and what to do, and then the two of them said goodbye and left.
Cui Si did not immediately tell Yan Xingchuan that she could let her child be the crown prince first, but just watched the excitement in the court with cold eyes.
Regarding letting Adu ascend the throne.
The civil officials headed by Shangguan Tong pretended that nothing had happened, did what they were supposed to do, and fulfilled their duties as officials.
The generals led by General Cheng and Chen Mo said that as long as the lord is happy, it's fine. The lord and the young master are father and son, so it doesn't matter who sits on the throne. Besides, the lord is not going to be the emperor, and he is not dead, so why rush?
Cui Jing remained silent, saying he didn't know or understand when someone asked him about it.
The group that danced the most happily were those led by Shen Sui.
This group of people have been kneeling outside the Taiji Hall for two consecutive days, asking Yan Xingchuan to retract these ideas, ascend the throne as emperor, and intimidate the world.
Those words sounded better than singing, but Yan Xingchuan didn't bother to pay attention to them and just knelt down if he wanted to.
Two days later, Shen Sui, probably seeing that Yan Xingchuan had made up his mind, knelt in front of the Danfeng Gate of the Daming Palace with a group of people and asked to see Cui Si.
The child was brought out, and the matter between Yan Xingchuan and Cui Si was not a big secret. Basically, everyone knew everything that should be known. Yan Xingchuan left the Imperial City for three months and then returned to Xianyang City to pick up Cui Si and the child. It was no secret either.
Shen Sui and others wanted to force Cui Si to persuade Yan Xingchuan in the name of justice.
Perhaps in Shen Sui's view, he was loyal to the Yan family and Yan Xingshan, and he looked down on Yan Xingchuan. Later, when Yan Xingchuan was the only one left in the Yan family, he reluctantly acknowledged this master.
He had no objection if Yan Xingchuan ascended the throne, but not this child.
In his heart, he did not acknowledge that the child had the surname Yan and was of the Yan family bloodline, not to mention that the child was born to Cui Si. He looked down on the Cui family and even more so on Cui Si, thinking that she was a narrow-minded person with impure thoughts.
He firmly disagreed with Yan Xingchuan not taking the throne himself and giving up the position to a child of a few years old.
"He is very nosy." Cui Si sneered and was a little annoyed.
This is like roasting her on the fire.
Do you think she is easy to bully?
"Who do you think he is? Just because he wants to see me, I have to see him. Yanzhi, go there in person and tell these people that I can't take care of these things."
Yanzhi took the order and left, opened the palace gate, and said to everyone:
"What's the point of you all kneeling here? This world belongs to the master, and whatever the master says is what's the point of looking for my wife? My wife is not related to the master, so how can she control the master?"
Cui Si will never carry the burden of "righteousness" in her life.
Someone asked, "Aren't the Lord and Princess Wang husband and wife?"
Yanzhi then asked, "Husband and wife? When did they become husband and wife? Where's the evidence? Did they follow the three books and six ceremonies? Did they worship the heavens, the earth, and their ancestors?"
Everyone: “…”
It seems so. These two people did not seem to get married. They did not perform the three books and six ceremonies, nor did they worship heaven, earth and ancestors.
All in all, it was just a fleeting romance.
It doesn’t matter. I can’t control it.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally left in shame.
However, this matter reached Yan Xingchuan's ears and angered him. The next day, he sent Shen Sui to lead troops to inspect various places, pacify the areas, and eliminate the bandits.
All the people involved were sent out one by one with excuses.
Military generals will be stationed there, and civil officials will be in charge of governance.
Otherwise, these people would have too much free time and would not have time to bother him, and would really think that he was the kind of person who would change his mind because of the disagreement of his ministers.
Thinking of how Cui Si had clearly distanced herself from him, Yan Xingchuan had a terrible headache. This really annoyed Shen Sui, and he decided to have him come back to the Imperial City less often in the future.
Two or three days after the incident, Cui Si saw that his anger had subsided a little, so she told him her suggestion to appoint a crown prince first. Yan Xingchuan looked at her for a long time.
His eyes were silent and calm, which made people feel a little uneasy.
Cui Si: "What are you looking at me for?"
"Don't you want to marry me?"
To appoint a crown prince first means that the marriage will not take place yet.
Yan Xingchuan was unsure and a little panicked, afraid that she would go back on her word.
"That's not the case." Cui Si was a person who kept her promises. Since they had made an agreement in the beginning, she would not suddenly regret it unless something unexpected happened.
"It's just that the child is still too young, and we don't know his abilities or character, so everyone is worried. Once he grows up and his abilities are obvious to everyone, everyone will feel at ease."
Dayan has just been established, and people cannot be unstable. They are worried that their children will be incompetent and that Dayan has no future. This is also normal.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. If the child could ascend the throne now, I would naturally be eager for it. How could I delay it?"
Yan Xingchuan couldn't argue with her, and he knew that he was too impatient. Finally, he sighed and could only agree with her opinion.
The next day, he found Shangguan Tong and asked him to write a letter suggesting that "the throne should be temporarily vacant, and a crown prince should be appointed first, and he can ascend the throne after his ability is tested in the future."
Shangguan Tong also felt that this was safer, so he naturally did as he was told.
This suggestion was submitted to the court meeting the next day, and Cui Jing also expressed his agreement. General Cheng looked at the two of them and also expressed his agreement.
With the consent of the three dukes, the matter was settled.
As for Chen Sui, who is not in the imperial city, his opinion is not important. Since he is not present, just assume that his opinion does not exist.
At the end of October, Dayan appointed a crown prince.
He was Yan Yundu, the son of Yan Xingchuan, the King of Northern Yan.
The King of Northern Yan served as regent, handling state affairs and teaching the crown prince until the crown prince ascended the throne and returned power to the emperor.
