Chapter 545 The Royal Family is in Trouble
Mo Jiuye didn't need to tell him this, Nan Yu had originally planned to do so.
"Okay, I'll go to the palace immediately to arrange this matter."
He did not say that he would go to the palace to report the matter to the emperor immediately. He was just telling Mo Jiuye the fact that the matter had already been finalized by him, and all they needed to do was wait for news with peace of mind.
Nan Yu was very efficient in his work. The next morning, just after the court session ended, Minister He came back with new news.
It is not known how Nan Yu explained this matter to Emperor Shunwu, but he issued an edict at the morning court today to completely clear the Mo family of grievances, and in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, he admitted that it was he who had been instigated by treacherous villains to have the Mo family exiled to the northwest, causing the entire Mo family to suffer injustice for a year.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Emperor Shunwu was apologizing to the Mohists in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
Not only that, Emperor Shunwu also issued an edict to confer the title of King of Zhenxi on Mo Jiuye, and at the same time designated the western border area as the King of Zhenxi's fiefdom.
The title of King of Zhenxi is hereditary. At the same time, he also heard from Nanyu that Mo Jiuye is not the only man of the Mo family still alive.
This imperial edict also specifically stated that there was only one position of King Zhenxi. No matter which man in the Mohist school wanted to sit in it, he only had to ask him for permission to change it.
At the same time, Emperor Shunwu issued an edict, asking Mo Jiuye to personally arrange for the men of the Mo family to immediately put on armor and go into battle, without having to go to the capital to pay homage.
When the decree was issued, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
This can be said to be the first time since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty.
When the Dashun Dynasty was founded, there was indeed a king of a different surname. That was because this person helped the founding ancestor to establish the Dashun Dynasty.
Even so, Prince Yong'an never had any fiefdom.
But now, the Mohist school was exiled to the northwest last year, and the figures of the Mohist school have even gradually faded from the sight of these ministers.
Unexpectedly, the emperor not only exonerated Mohism, but even publicly stated that it was because he believed the slander of treacherous villains that led to Mohism's unjust exile.
This is the first time in history that emperors have done this. It has never happened in history.
What is even more shocking is that Emperor Shunwu immediately appointed Mo Jiuye as the King of Zhenxi.
Although the father and son of Mojia had made great contributions to Dashun on the battlefield, there was no reason for them to be crowned kings just like that.
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with discussions, and some people even raised objections.
As a result, they were all angrily rebuked by Emperor Shunwu one by one.
It was the first time that the ministers saw Emperor Shunwu being so stubborn. At the same time, they also understood one thing: the fact that Mo Jiuye was named King of Zhenxi could not be changed in the slightest.
Before Emperor Shunwu ordered someone to read out the imperial edict, Nan Yu had thought that someone would come out to oppose it. He also thought about what would happen if his father retreated in such a situation?
The only thing I didn't expect was that my father, who was always easily influenced by others, would be so firm today.
No matter what, things are developing as he expected, which is also a good thing for Nan Yu.
In addition, Emperor Shunwu also said something of great importance in front of all the civil and military officials in the court today.
That means the imperial seal is lost!
He personally hid the jade seal in the secret passage leading to the outside of the national treasury. The secret passage was a newly rebuilt entrance. After the construction was completed, he ordered people to seal it. Logically, no one would find it.
But it was found by someone. Not only that, the national treasury property was lost again, which made Emperor Shunwu feel puzzled.
The reason why he dared to publicly speak about the loss of the imperial seal was because Nan Yu reminded him.
After all, he had been an emperor for decades. Even if he did not have the imperial seal in his hand, he would not be unjustifiably questioned like the Queen's party.
On the other hand, he also hoped that more people would come out to help find the whereabouts of the imperial seal.
At this moment, someone came to report that a wandering Taoist priest was at the palace gate asking to see the emperor.
It is known to many people that Emperor Shunwu believed in Taoism. There is no doubt that he would not refuse a Taoist priest who wanted to see him.
In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, the wandering Taoist was brought to the main hall.
The Taoist priest was dressed in a grey robe, with grey eyebrows and beard, and he had an air of immortality. When Emperor Shunwu saw him, he naturally felt an inexplicable sense of conviction in his heart.
After asking, I learned that the Taoist's Dharma name was Yuan Qing. He was practicing in Xianfeng Mountain of Dashun Dynasty. Recently, when he was observing the sky, he found that the Purple Star was sometimes bright and sometimes dim. From this, he calculated that the royal family might be in trouble.
In addition to trouble, the flickering brightness of the Purple Star represents the birth of a new generation of emperor.
Before today, no one knew better than Emperor Shunwu that the royal family was indeed in trouble.
The loss of the imperial seal is no trivial matter. It is definitely a big trouble for the royal family.
What others don't know is that Emperor Shunwu has already considered giving up his throne to Nanyu. Taoist Yuan Qing said that the Purple Star flickers, which means a new emperor is about to be born. This should be what he was talking about.
Based on these two things, Emperor Shunwu could be said to have complete faith in Taoist Yuan Qing's words.
In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, Emperor Shunwu asked Taoist Yuan Qing how to solve this problem, but did not ask about the birth of the new emperor.
After Taoist Yuan Qing calculated with his fingers, he told Emperor Shunwu to set up an altar in the capital before midnight tonight.
Because Ziwei Star stands out, a new emperor will be born in Dashun. This emperor will become a wise ruler in history and will bring Dashun to a commanding position that has never been achieved in history.
Of course, the new emperor must be of legitimate royal blood.
He suggested that Emperor Shunwu place a list of candidates who were qualified to succeed the emperor on the altar, and asked him to pray devoutly, asking the Taoist ancestor to guide him on the right path.
According to his method, as long as you are sincere, he guarantees that all the royal troubles will be solved before tomorrow morning, and a new generation of emperor will emerge as God will.
Emperor Shunwu believed it without a doubt and immediately adjourned the court session and invited Taoist Master Yuan Qing to guide him and lead people to build the altar.
Although Emperor Shunwu believed in these things, some of his court officials did not.
But these people knew Emperor Shunwu's temperament well, and even though they thought this matter was ridiculous, no one dared to stand up and refute it!
In fact, no one knew that Taoist Yuan Qing was entrusted by Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran to enter the palace to meet Emperor Shunwu.
A few days ago, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were bored in the Shangshu Mansion, so they planned to disguise themselves and take a walk in the suburbs of the capital.
On that day, they met Taoist Yuan Qing who was traveling to the capital.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye dressed up as a merchant couple who had just arrived in the capital. Not long after they left the city, they met Goudan's parents, whom she had once rescued.
Goudan's mother recognized He Zhiran as her son's savior at a glance, so she pulled her aside and expressed her sincere gratitude.
