Chapter 650: After a Tumultuous Experience, He Becomes an Em

h hers, encircling her slender shoulders.Ye Wen suddenly felt a little scared. She had planned everything herself, but when this man took the initiative, her heart skipped a beat.I felt the fiery red...As Wu Fu said, Master Lijiang gives every emperor of the Northern Qi dynasty a chance to test themselves every decade or so. 。He would travel the world, no longer caring about affairs in Northern Qi, nor bothering with internal disputes. 。Even if other countries invaded Bei Qi, he ignored them all. 。As long as the Northern Qi state remains uncaptured, nothing can disrupt this rule. 。All dynasties of Northern Qi, and other nations as well, had figured out this pattern. 。During the years that Emperor Zun traveled, wars were frequent and conflicts between nations reached their peak. 。During those years, the Northern Qi emperors could either grow and mature completely, or fully realize they were not suited for the position and abdicate in favor of a more capable ruler, or be replaced by someone else within the royal family. 。But fortunately, nothing major has happened for hundreds of years. 。Now it's Quan Qingsheng's turn, but he is very uneasy. 。He told Wu Fei, "I've reviewed the foundation records. When emperors ascend to the throne, Emperor Zun Yunyou generally waits for five years. If there is a young emperor who has not yet come of age, they will choose to wait until the young emperor comes of age and assumes the throne before leaving Lin'an City." 。"But Your Majesty is not yet eighteen, nor have I ascended to the throne or had a wedding. How could Your Imperial Majesty leave so suddenly Could it be that You and Lady Wenyan encountered something urgent that needs resolving What could it possibly be"

Wu naturally didn't know what it was, but he told Quan Qingcheng, "Whatever it is, as long as Your Imperial Majesty takes action, there will certainly be the best solution."

Since the Emperor has not arrived, Your Majesty need not worry about it. 。For centuries, the division of labor between the Imperial Sovereign and the Royal Family has been very clear. The imperial court and governance are the responsibility of the Royal Family, while anything beyond that scope is handled by the Imperial Sovereign. 。“

Quan Qingcheng nodded, “Well, I understand everything. It’s just that when it was my turn to be the emperor, Emperor Zun left so suddenly, I feel a little uneasy.” 。I'm afraid that something might happen during this period, and I would be unworthy of the Emperor's grace and my sister's upbringing. 。Wu Fei looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Perhaps the Emperor himself didn't realize it, but this old slave, over these past six months, has seen all the changes in the Emperor." 。Your Majesty, I have grown up. I am no longer the child who knew nothing when I first ascended the throne. 。When you first ascended the throne, this old servant saw your worry. I was always thinking that such a simple prince, suddenly being placed on the throne, wouldn't dare to speak much or do anything more. With the Regent King still in control and those ministers in court, you couldn't even defend yourself... 。Later, you focused all your attention on befriending Night Four Sister, and through her, you established a connection with the Emperor. 。The old slave was thinking again, this emperor is quite shrewd, he knows to find support for himself, and also knows how to climb up the ladder. 。With Sister Yousi and the Emperor as your protectors, no one in the court will dare to bully you in the future. 。" Yes, getting up is also my idea. I did give myself someone to rely on. Since I knew I was going to be emperor, I've been looking for someone to lean on." 。Warm Sister cured my voice with such a magical method, allowing me to speak again. I know she is definitely no ordinary person. 。So I clung tightly to her thigh, even though I was a year older than her, I was still willing to chase after her and call her sister, just hoping she would accept me as her younger brother. I wanted her to help me out if I ever got into trouble in the future. 。It turned out that this treasure map was right. 。Now, not only do I have a sister, but also the Imperial Sovereign as my brother-in-law. Even tomorrow at the imperial banquet of Yanhuagong Palace, the Imperial Sovereign will accept me as his disciple. 。I know, this must also be your idea, sister. You took the initiative to give me such a powerful support. You want to protect my throne and let those with ulterior motives think twice before plotting against me. The disciple of the Emperor, is it something they can afford to provoke 。In fact, my sister must surely understand all these thoughts of mine. How could someone as intelligent as her fail to see through the thoughts of an ordinary person like me 。She suffered in silence, lacking the strength to resist. She allowed me to use her as a stepping stone, a platform from which I ascended to power, solidifying my imperial authority, step by step. 。"Wu Fei, how can I possibly repay your kindness This is a debt I can never hope to repay.I don't understand why my sister would do this for me, nor do I know what I could have done to deserve such generosity." 。But she did it, so she is my great benefactor. 。Perhaps this emperor is destined to disappoint many people in this life, but Your Highness Wenyan, the emperor will never betray her. 。"

Quingcheng stood up. The night wind blew past his face, warm and gentle, like a mother stroking his cheek in childhood, calling him "Qingcheng" over and over again." 。He was unable to speak at that time. He couldn't even utter a word to call for his mother. 。Think about the past, life now is much better. 。Perhaps the Empress Dowager is right, isn't she I do need a queen with background and ability. I can't rely on my sister and the Emperor forever. I must succeed, I have to do it myself. 。Therefore, I must learn to plan strategically, weigh the pros and cons, and know how to make choices. I must also understand what it means to be alone. 。His youthful innocence will eventually be overshadowed by reality, hidden away in a corner, never to be found again. 。That will also become the memory he cherishes for a lifetime, and the first time that he can never go back to. 。It takes a great upheaval to make a true king. 。My elder sister is looking forward to its arrival, and I am also looking forward to its arrival. 。Meanwhile, I must also prepare for its arrival. 。"As for his sixth older brother... perhaps he is also a major test on his path to becoming emperor." 。In life, things are rarely perfect. Between affection and dignity, morality and rights, he refuses to choose, but others will force him to make a decision. 。But I hope that by then, it won't hurt too many people. 。"Where is the emperor going" Seeing Quán Qīngchéng stride forward, Wú Fǒu hurried to follow. 。 Then, he waved his hand and told him not to follow. He said, "I'll go talk to my father emperor, Eunuch Wu, wait here!" Inside the Fengxian Hall, incense burned constantly throughout the year. For twelve hours, there would always be eunuchs on duty who would replenish the incense sticks at any time. 。At this hour, when Quan Qingcheng arrived here, the palace people were not too surprised. 。Those who come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony are all the most honorable people in the palace, and they are all those who have encountered difficulties. 。One only comes here to speak with their ancestors when they have something on their mind. And when speaking with them, people usually choose to do so at night. 。The palace attendants left the hall, closing the doors behind them. Before leaving, they also gave Quán Qīngchéng three new incense sticks. 。Quan Qingcheng held the three incense sticks, not rushing to light them. Instead, he set them aside and kowtowed three times toward the ancestral tablet. 。He asked the ancestors of these powerful families: "Didn't any of you expect that this emperor would be me, a mute Especially my father, did you not expect it either! At the grand New Year's banquet, your imperial decree to pass on the throne was written with my name. For a moment, I thought you had truly intended to give the throne to me" 。But later I realized, it was an altered imperial decree. Your true preference was for your legitimate son, the Sixth Prince born to the Empress. 。It's a pity that he was so disappointing. On his wedding day, he ruined himself and cut off his lineage, so naturally he couldn't ascend to the throne. 。"Father, please don't be angry. If you had the ability to change the imperial edict so that no one would know, and it looked exactly like your handwriting, then only the Emperor himself could do it." 。Since the Emperor himself is in charge of this, you shouldn't worry about anything. 。Of course, you are now dust to dust, if you want nothing, then just listen to your child!Sixth brother's affairs, you still don't know about it But I do. 。He is not your son, he is the son of the Regent King and Lady Li, born out of wedlock. 。And that year, she didn't just give birth to one, but two. 。Two children, one raised in the palace and the other secretly raised by the regent. 。They made a huge play, wanting the throne and to be Empress and Emperor Emeritus. Unfortunately, they failed. 。Father, please don't be angry. Anger won't help, after all, you never held accounts with them when you were alive, and even less so now that you are gone. 。Let's all be grateful that Sister Ye Si had the foresight to dispose of that fake prince, ensuring the throne stayed within our own hands. 。Otherwise, the one kneeling here speaking with you now would no longer be your biological son. You, even in death, would find it ironic. 。The candle flame before the tablet flickered twice, as if the deceased’s anger or ancestors’ reproach. 。But Quan Qingcheng wasn't afraid at all. He knelt even straighter, his spine even more erect. 。He told the late emperor, “You have no right to blame me because those were all mistakes you made while you were alive. I took the throne at a time of crisis and have been cleaning up after you ever since, dealing with the mess you left behind.” 。< I haven't suffered at all, where did you get the idea that I have > 。You have reigned for decades, always nurturing the son you believed to be your heir, yet you have ignored me, your own son. 。Even with my mother's meticulous care for you, I haven't earned even a glance from you. 。Sometimes when I think about these things, I feel sorry for my mother concubine, and I believe you are not worthy of her wholehearted love. 。Now that I am emperor, I shall give the best of everything to my mother. I will make up for all the hardship she endured while under your care. 。As for your two sons who are not biologically yours, just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will make them pay back this debt to me. 。Even if that Regent persecutes me to my very bones, I will fight him to the end. Not even at the last moment will I give up. 。Tomorrow I will become a disciple of the Celestial Emperor. I hope that my father, and all our ancestors, can be proud of this. 。This is the highest honor for our family, an event more worthy of being recorded in our family annals than even holding imperial power. 。Even this mute who has never been noticed, has his own skills and good fortune. 。I hope this is a good start, and please bless me, my ancestors, as I become a good emperor. 。He left the ancestral hall, and as he stepped out, he cast a glance back. The candlelight was still flickering, he didn't know if it was a blessing or a mockery. 。He waved his hand towards the ancestral hall, his wide sleeves billowing in the wind, and strode away. 。The palace maids guarding the hall watched as the emperor walked away, and suddenly felt that his back had become tall and imposing. He was no longer the insignificant emperor he once was. 。At the time of Chen, a palanquin from Yan Hua Palace stopped at the entrance of the mansion of the first-rank general. Lian Shi wore a brand new purple robe, waving his feather duster and shouting loudly, "Yan Hua Palace welcomes the Imperial Consort into the palace!"possibly get into I promise I won’t say anything, alright Or maybe I won't even get out of the carriage, I'll just watch from inside.” 。By the way, when we pass by Lin'an Prefecture later, let's also...
