Extra: 094: I am Rong Rui, the Emperor of the Empire
When I was eighteen years old, my father and mother held a coming-of-age ceremony for me. At the coming-of-age ceremony, my father returned the crown for me and at the same time announced his abdication and gave up the throne to me!
This time, I was not willful. I accepted everything my father gave me and shouldered my responsibilities.
I have grown up, and I am confident that I can be a good emperor and shoulder the important task of inheriting the empire; I am confident that I will not let my father and mother down, and I will become their pride!
At the age of eighteen, I succeeded to the throne and became the second emperor of the empire, changing my name to Qingfeng!
After taking the throne, I did not continue the practice of the previous dynasty to grant amnesty to the world. The people my father and mother imprisoned were all treacherous and evil people. So what if there were some who were unjustly accused?
Regardless of whether the decisions made by my father and mother are right or wrong, I will only defend them and will never refute them.
I will never pardon anyone my father has sentenced.
I rejected the minister's suggestion and refused to grant amnesty to the world. This was my defense of my father, and it was also my first confrontation with the courtiers...
My father is right. Although I am an adult and my mind is mature, in the eyes of those old foxes, I am still as immature as a child. They will not take me seriously at all.
The Queen Mother said that there was a period of running-in between the new emperor and the old ministers, and the result was that either the east wind prevailed over the west wind, or the west wind overcame the east wind...
I smiled and said: "Whether it's the east wind or the west wind, I am the only one who wins in the end."
As my mother expected, I refused to grant amnesty to the world. These annoying guys seized on this matter and bombarded me every morning in the morning, saying that this was wrong, that I was wrong, and that I violated the ancestral etiquette...
wrong?
As an emperor, the decisions I make concern the people of the world, and I cannot be willful. But I refuse to pardon guilty prisoners. What's wrong with that?
They broke the law and deserved it. Why should I forgive them?
Just because I succeeded to the throne? So these prisoners can be pardoned?
Are you kidding? What does my succession have to do with them? Have they ever done anything? Why should I pardon them?
As for violating the ancestral etiquette?
Which one is my ancestor?
The etiquette of the Lan family in the previous dynasty?
What is that and why should I obey it?
My grandpa’s rules?
My grandpa, the emperor, was born in a poor family and grew up at a young age. You used the ancestral etiquette as an excuse and asked my grandpa to act according to the conventions of the previous dynasty. My grandpa is easy to talk to and doesn’t care about you. You really think that you are a problem...
Why should I, the majestic emperor of the empire, act according to the etiquette of the previous dynasty Lan?
Why should I, the majestic emperor of the empire, be subject to the rules of the previous Lan clan?
Ancestral etiquette?
The rules I set are etiquette!
If I say no pardon, I mean no pardon. Who dares to let him go?
These ministers insist on this matter, not really speaking for the prisoners, but just testing my bottom line to see how I, the new emperor, behave in the future...
When the same thing happens, they can use the same tactics to force me, so I will never take a step back or compromise at all.
Like my father, I am a powerful emperor. We are arbitrary but not authoritarian. It is simply delusional for the courtiers to try to influence me!
Whether to pardon the prisoner or not was my first confrontation with the courtiers, and it ended in my temporary victory.
The reason why I say temporarily is because these stubborn ministers did not give up. Instead, they went to the other palace to complain to my father, saying that I was willful and did not have the benevolence of the emperor...
The benevolence of the emperor?
What it is?
I was slapped on the left cheek, why should I give my right cheek to be slapped?
As an emperor, you are a saint, and you have such a good spirit.
I, Dongling Rongrui, tell you, whoever dares to slap me on the other cheek, I will destroy his whole family!
Whoever dares to slap me on the right cheek, I will destroy his clan.
The authority of the emperor cannot be challenged!
This group of courtiers have been serving as courtiers under my father for more than ten years, but they still don’t understand my father. My father is strong, domineering, and dominates me, but...
He has never been attached to power, nor is he someone who clings to power.
This group of people think that our father is seizing power and the throne step by step and unifying the four countries just to satisfy their own selfish desires. They are all wrong...
My father has been forced to do this until today.
If he doesn't succeed, he will die.
As I thought, my father ignored these courtiers and was indifferent to their kneeling in other courtyards. If my mother hadn't been so kind, she sent someone to tell those adults: "The Supreme Emperor has abdicated and will not interfere in government affairs. Unless the country is overthrown, otherwise nothing will happen."
Even if it’s such a big deal, the Supreme Emperor won’t come forward, so you all just go back.”
That group of people might have to kneel for two days and two nights...
They often did this kind of thing. Back then, they even knelt down to force their father to accept a concubine. Unfortunately, his face was cold and his heart was even colder. Not to mention kneeling down, even these people were all killed in front of the palace, and the father also
Won't frown.
"Mother, you are so kind. You should let them kneel for three days and three nights. This group of people is like this. They kneel there and beg for help. They used to force my father, but now they force me." Naibao looked back.
, he ran to the other courtyard to find Uncle Jiuhuang and Feng Qingchen. This was his favorite place, but he couldn’t come every day...
The other courtyard where Uncle Nine Emperors and Feng Qingchen live is outside the city. This is also to avoid suspicion and tell the world that Uncle Nine Emperors has abdicated and will not return to the city easily, let alone interfere with the affairs of the court.
Once the emperor and his ministers, if those so-called veterans were not in line with the new emperor's wishes, Uncle Nine Emperors would not come out to intercede for them.
Before Feng Qingchen opened his mouth, Xiaobao, who had just turned four years old, ran to Naibao with his little thick legs, raised his little head, looked at his brother with admiration, and then Naibao
He complained angrily: "Brother Emperor, my mother is not kind. She said those people were too noisy. The birds they made noisy here have stopped coming. As a result, my mother was despised by my father...what are you despising?"
Xiaobao forgot his words while talking, his little head tilted, and he tried to think again, but he couldn't think of anything after thinking for a long time, and he looked like he was about to cry...
"Brother Emperor, what do you mean?" Xiaobao stroked with his hand and looked at Naibao for help, his big eyes looked innocent...
I don’t know who this child is. Unlike Nai Bao, who is as smart as Nai Bao and cute as a ghost, Xiao Bao is as tough as a tiger. He is simple and careless, not to mention not as shrewd and precocious as Nai Bao and Cute Bao.
Uncle Jiuhuang and Feng Qingchen were afraid that the child would be sold, so they had to teach him more and love him more. Even the baby was the same...
"Idiot brother, I look down upon you. I can't even teach you how to teach you a few times. How can I trust you if you are so stupid?" Nai Bao picked up Xiao Bao. He was now very skilled in holding a child.
Xiaobao laughed immediately, with a bright face: "Brother Emperor is so awesome."
There was a squeak, leaving a saliva mark on the baby's face. The clean baby didn't mind it at all. She hugged the baby and started asking him what he had been doing these past few days...
Feng Qingchen looked at Nai Bao and Xiao Bao lovingly, and her heart was full of happiness. The pain of the cute baby leaving was also diluted a lot because Xiao Bao was here...
I only wish that the years will be peaceful and the world will be stable; I only wish that brothers will be harmonious, year after year...
