Chapter 892 Trip to Wei (The End)
The issue of legitimacy raised by Gu Shuyan had also occurred in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but unfortunately, only her elder brother and Emperor Jin remained of the Great Zhou royal family.
The Wei Kingdom clearly has many members of the royal family and relatives. If they all stood up to oppose it, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
Therefore, regardless of whether Bai Moqin wants to be the emperor of Wei, it is absolutely impossible for Yun Yichen to become the emperor.
“I can write imperial edicts, and I have also shown the court officials my cousin’s abilities.”
"Even so, no one will agree."
Gu Shuyan interrupted Bai Moqin before he could finish speaking.
"Your Majesty, please stop causing trouble. You have the ability and talent to be an emperor, so why do you have to keep causing trouble? Otherwise, you will alienate your ministers, which would be a real loss."
After saying that, Gu Shuyan didn't linger.
Even as she watched Gu Shuyan's departing figure, Bai Moqin's mind was still replaying his words.
"I just want to live a normal life, is that really not allowed?"
Bai Moqin muttered something to herself before going to the study to rest.
The next day, the commotion at the entrance of the Dali Temple grew louder and louder. The people of the Dali Temple could no longer suppress it and finally reported the matter to the palace.
When Bai Moqin heard the report, although he knew that it was all Gu Shuyan and his cousin's doing, he still listened to some of what Gu Shuyan had said yesterday.
He sent someone to summon Yun Yichen and asked, "Brother, do you really not want to be emperor? If you wish, I can abdicate immediately, and I will even unconditionally assist you."
Yun Yichen had been kneeling for several days, and although his expression was not good, it wasn't too bad either.
Hearing Bai Moqin finally confess to him, he couldn't help but smile with relief.
"I always thought you understood me."
In his correspondence with Bai Moqin, Yun Yichen mentioned the intrigue and backstabbing within the royal family more than once. He once asked Yun Yichen if his elder brother wanted to seize the Great Zhou River, and Yun Yichen's answer to him at that time was that the capable should take over, and he only needed to let nature take its course.
Now everything is in its natural course, and there is no more war between the three kingdoms, but he is desperately trying to shift the burden from his own shoulders onto Yun Yichen.
"I understand, Your Majesty, you may return now!"
Seeing that he looked somewhat dejected, Yun Yichen didn't want to stay any longer, so he took his leave and pushed his way out.
"Brother, wait a minute!"
Just as Yun Yichen stepped out of the palace gate, Bai Moqin, as if she had made a momentous decision, called out to him.
Under Yun Yichen's gaze, he said, "Let everyone go back and rest. After all these years of turmoil, everyone is tired. I will attend court early tomorrow morning."
Bai Moqin finally compromised. Since he had become emperor as a matter of course, he would do his best to benefit the people during his term of office.
Yun Yichen looked at Bai Moqin and finally revealed a genuine smile.
On the way back, Yun Yichen finally felt relaxed again, because he knew that he would no longer have to worry about these messy things in the future.
As the high-ranking officials watched Yun Yichen return, their hearts sank at his serious expression.
"Your Highness, what did His Majesty say?"
The old man kneeling at the front finally asked Yun Yichen a question.
Yun Yichen looked at the adult who had asked him the question, his expression no less angry than when he was at his angrier. Just when everyone thought their efforts had been in vain, Yun Yichen suddenly smiled.
"His Majesty said that court will be held tomorrow."
These few words brought a sense of relief to everyone present, and they all slumped onto their prayer mats.
Their feet were already numb, some even almost lost all feeling, all for the sake of getting the emperor to nod in agreement to attend court.
Now that a major worry has been resolved, everyone realized that their legs had long since gone weak.
They rubbed their numb legs, but all had smiles on their faces. When Yun Yichen helped the old minister rub his legs, the old minister was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
They had always thought of Yun Yichen as a devil, but they never expected him to have such a kind side.
Once everyone had recovered, Yun Yichen personally led a group of ministers, carrying their prayer mats, out of the palace.
With the help of the ladies, Gu Shuyan transported the purchased ingredients to the slums outside the city.
After a day of rest, the next day when they went to court, all the adults walked with a limp.
Because so many people were walking like this, it created a peculiar scene in the palace.
The imperial guards standing on the city wall looked down at the officials who walked in the same manner and were trying to suppress their laughter. Before they could even laugh, the limping commander of the imperial guards slapped him on the head.
Is it funny?
After saying that, looking at the sea of faces below, he burst out laughing first, "This is too funny!"
Regardless of how people walked, the emperor was indeed present in the main hall today.
Half a month later, after finally finishing the last task, Yun Yichen and Gu Shuyan packed up the luggage in about ten cars, and together with Xu Feng and his wife, Zhen Meiniang and his little follower, they left in the direction they came from.
Some say they are going back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, while others say they are going to the State of Jin. In the end, they themselves do not know where they are going.
After Bai Moqin stirred up this incident, Yun Yichen felt at ease taking his wife and children on trips around, thinking that they would continue to live as they pleased from now on.
Little did they know that the people who had been pinned on the throne by the couple would, more than a decade later, simultaneously devise a treacherous plan: to make their son, Bai Rui, the crown prince.
Upon learning of this, Yun Yichen immediately snapped a tree in front of his door in half.
“They have sons, so why should they make my son the crown prince? I refuse to accept this decree.”
As soon as Yun Yichen finished speaking, Ji Wenxuan said, "Back then, wasn't it you who tricked them? Nobody wanted to be emperor, but because you didn't want to be emperor yourself, you forced them into that position. Brother-in-law, you've lived a carefree life, so please hand over your son! I'm still waiting for Yunzhi to abdicate so that we can live the life we want."
Yun Yichen was speechless after being rebuked by Ji Wenxuan, so he just kept saying, "Anyway, I don't agree, and nobody can mess with my son."
Hearing Yun Yichen's deflated rebuttal, Gu Shuyan, Ming Yu, and Yu Fei all laughed in the pavilion, "The prince is becoming more and more like a child these days."
As Gu Shuyan spoke, her face was full of a happy smile.
"Isn't it all because you spoiled her, Miss? Back in the day, our son-in-law was a handsome man as cold as ice. What a pity!"
Pearl finished speaking with a slightly mischievous tone, which immediately made everyone burst into laughter.
