After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

royal palace.

"Your son pays homage to his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen."

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Father."

Murong Yu and Xie Baiyuan served tea to the emperor and the queen.

The emperor felt reluctant to see his daughter become a married woman, but when he thought about it, he felt that she was blessed to marry a man who loved her.

"Bo Yuan."

"My son is here."

"I will hand Yu'er over to you. I hope you can treat her well. If I find out that you have wronged Yu'er, I will not let you off easily."

"Father, please rest assured. I will definitely treat the princess well. We will be together for the rest of our lives and I will never break my promise."

"Well." The emperor was very satisfied with his performance.

The queen looked at her daughter and felt much happier.

Yu'er has seen too many schemes and traps in this deep palace, and she has not even received the caring company of her parents. Now that she has someone who loves her, cries with her, and laughs with her, isn't it a happy thing?

"Yu'er, after a woman gets married, she can no longer be willful. You need to restrain your little thoughts and be a tolerant and generous mistress. Do you understand?"

My child, if a woman is not magnanimous, she will be the one who gets angry to death. As long as you have the power, you should cherish the man you like and throw him away if you don’t like him. Never let your mood be affected by others.

"Yu'er understands. Thank you for reminding me, mother."

"Ahem!" The emperor looked at the happy couple and had no regrets. All he had to do now was pass the throne to the prince and he could just be a hands-off boss.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

"Father, I will go and call the imperial physician."

"No need." The emperor waved his hand. "It's an old problem. Bai Yuan, go and summon all the officials above the third rank to the palace. I have something important to announce."

"Yes!" Bai Yuan knew very well that the emperor was going to pass the throne to the prince.

After he left, the emperor was helped to the main room of the Qianqing Palace.

"Huang Desheng, draft the decree."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Crown Prince Murong Yan is extremely intelligent, compassionate to the people, and blessed by Heaven. I now pass the throne to Murong Yan, hoping that he can love the people like his own children and continue the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of generations. I decree this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor spat out a mouthful of blood. The queen was frightened and hurried to find the imperial physician.

Soon, the ministers came to see the emperor and knelt before his bed.

After hearing this, Murong Yan rushed back to the palace without stopping. Looking at his half-conscious father, he felt extremely sad.

"Father, my son is here."

The emperor heard the voice, opened his eyes, and signaled Huang Desheng to read the imperial edict.

Huang Desheng then read out the imperial edict in front of all the ministers.

Xie Boyuan took the lead in bowing and said, "Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

The ministers then realized that the prince had become their new master, and then they kowtowed to the new emperor together.

……

Three months later, the prince ascended the throne, changed the reign title to Pingning, issued a general amnesty, and reduced taxes for three years.

After the death of the previous emperor, the queen was promoted to empress dowager.

Murong Yan officially moved from the Eastern Palace into the Qianqing Palace, and the Empress Dowager moved into the Cining Palace.

Due to the death of the previous emperor, the newly-appointed emperor was not allowed to take concubines or marry wives within three years, which also postponed Murong Yan and Shang Shiyun's marriage for three years.

When this news came out, the most distressed was of course the Shang family.

In another three years, my daughter will be 20 years old. Will the emperor still like her? Will the late emperor's edict still count?

Prime Minister Shang had a worried look on his face, somewhat regretting that he abdicated too early.

Now, he has lost his high-ranking official position, and his daughter didn’t have the chance to marry into the imperial palace, so all his efforts were in vain.

Mrs. Shang also had a sad face.

"Master, what do you think we should do? Does this imperial decree still count?"

"Hey! You ask me, who should I ask?"

Just when the Shang family was looking worried, Xiao Chunzi, who was beside the emperor, came.

"Oh, you have come a long way, sir. I am sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me."

"You don't have to be so polite, Prime Minister. I'm here to announce the Emperor's decree."

When the Shang family heard this, they all knelt on the ground to receive the imperial edict.

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: The legitimate daughter of the Shang family, Shang Shiyun, and the concubine's daughter, Shang Shiqing, are gentle and virtuous, kind-hearted, and of pure character. After the mourning period is over, I will follow the will of the late Emperor."

"Marry Shang Shiyun as the Crown Princess, and take Shang Shiqing as the Concubine. I decree this."

"Mr. Prime Minister, please accept my order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Prime Minister Shang took the imperial edict and finally felt relieved. Fortunately, the new master was a man of his words.

Xiao Chunzi continued, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. Your Majesty is loyal and filial, and will never go against the late emperor's will."

"Eunuch Chun is absolutely right."

After receiving the reward, Xiao Chunzi went back.

Go to court the next day.

"Long live my emperor."

"Everyone loves you!"

"Long live thanks."

"I have just ascended the throne and am still in mourning for my father. The affairs of the court still depend on you, my dear ministers."

"I have summoned all of you here today because I have some new appointments. Thank you, Boyuan!"

"The minister is here."

"From now on, you will continue to serve as the Minister of Personnel. I hope that you can enforce the law impartially and be loyal to the court. Don't let down the late emperor and me."

"I thank the late emperor and your majesty for their grace."

Before the late emperor passed away, he specially called the prince to his side.

After much thought, he felt that Xie Baiyuan was a rare loyal minister. The Great Zhou Dynasty was able to last for a hundred years precisely because of the advice and dedication of these loyal ministers.

If Xie Boyuan was transferred to an idle position just because he became the son-in-law of the emperor, it would be a waste of talent and would not be in line with the emperor's mind.

In the end, the late emperor still believed that letting Xie Baiyuan serve as the Minister of Personnel would be more conducive to the development of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, the Xie family is loyal to Murong Yan. As long as they have no ulterior motives and do not want to use this position to restrain the power of the royal family, this person can be used.

Murong Yan followed his father's advice. He also thought that he had just taken office and had an uncertain grasp of the various forces in the court. If he didn't have someone he trusted around him, it would be easy for others to take advantage of him.

In addition, once the Great Zhou and the Southern Kingdom go to war, he will definitely send Xie Bochen to fight on the battlefield, but swords are ruthless and no one can guarantee that he can return safely.

Since he had given up Xie Bochen, he had to at least protect Xie Boyuan. After all, he was his eldest sister's husband and a member of the royal family.

"Xie Bochen!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"From now on, you are appointed as the General of the Right Guard, commanding the palace guards, and hold the rank of third grade. At the same time, the title of the Xie family will be inherited by you."

"I thank the emperor for his grace."

Xie Bochen was very excited when he heard that he had been promoted. Logically speaking, his elder brother was already the Minister of Chancellery. If he was promoted again, wouldn't it arouse suspicion among the ministers in the court?

The emperor's actions really confused him.

Yun Zhihan, who was far away in Xie Mansion, was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he was more worried.

It seems that Chen'er is really going to be pushed out. As a mother, how can she bear to let her son go to the battlefield and fight to his death?
