Chapter 580: The Sovereign Wants a Disciple

and walked to Ye Jing Sheng’s front, bowing to him with a pitiful expression: “Master, Hong Zhuang suffered a lot in Su Wang Fu. The sixth prince beat her every day, beating her child away, and almos...Following Wen Qingcheng were the Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Sixth Prince.

When Qingcheng knelt before Ye Wenyan, several princes followed suit. Those officials who had just been stripped of their titles saw this and remembered that besides the Emperor, Night Fourth Miss was the eldest in the world. 。Then they had no choice but to turn around and kneel down before Ye Wen, bowing their heads. 。Ye Wenyan smiled and reached out to pull Quan Qingcheng up. "You're the emperor, but I haven't truly married into Yanhuagong yet. The title 'Empress' is something I can't bear. Your kneel is something I don't deserve either." 。Although she pulled him up, Quan Qingcheng still shook his head immediately. "Sister, you can always bear any responsibility, even if you are not the Empress. Sister, you are my benefactor, and it is only right for me to kneel before my benefactor." 。Ye Wen didn't say anything more. After helping him up, he bowed to the several princes as a gesture of thanks. 。Then he took a step to the side and made a beckoning gesture toward the incense offering. 。 Quan Qingcheng led several princes to the incense table. The servants of Ye Mansion handed over the already lit incense, and the emperor personally offered incense to the deceased general. This moved the generals present today, who exclaimed that the court had not forgotten them, and everything they did was worthwhile. 。 When Quan Qingcheng finished burning incense, he turned around and listened to the generals speaking, watching them bow to him. He was full of mixed feelings. 。It wasn't easy for him to leave the palace and come here today, and he made all the necessary preparations. 。First, the morning court was suspended. This allowed for the scene of officials from the inner city gathering at the gate of the Ye Mansion before dawn, waiting to come in and offer incense. 。Besides, he also had to report to the Regent King, after all, it was the emperor who left the palace, not incognito. He came to worship the deceased general in dragon robes. 。He had no right to make his own decisions about such formal outings, and could only leave with the Regent's approval. 。 Unfortunately, the Regent just wouldn't agree. His reason was that there were many generals who had fought for the country and not all of them were surnamed Ye. You are the Emperor, so all civil and military officials are your subjects. You can praise each and every one of them, but you cannot explicitly show favoritism towards any particular family. 。Especially the Ye family, with both generals deceased, all the soldiers have been reassigned to new camps under new generals and commanders. 。At this time, the Emperor giving the Ye family such a big face, how would the new general think The military morale that had just stabilized, wouldn't it be in chaos again

Quen Qingcheng also hesitated when he heard these words. He knew in his heart that the Regent King was trying to trip him up, preventing him from doing things according to his own heart >>> 。But I didn't know how to refute these words, and even felt that in some ways, what the Regent said was right. 。If he gives the Ye family too much face, the new general won't be happy, will he And the new general's family won't be happy either, rightThis happened yesterday. It was originally going to be a stalemate, and the announced suspension of court was about to be restored. 。But at this moment, the Third Prince Qingyun entered the palace. In front of the Regent King, he said: “Your Highness, your logic is flawed.” 。The Emperor's reason for visiting the general's house at night was to express that he had not forgotten the soldiers who had made great contributions to Northern Qi, and that he had not forgotten the general's family just because the general had passed away. 。Uncle Huang meant that doing this would chill the heart of the new general. But I believe that if Your Majesty doesn't do this, it will be even more chilling to the three armies, including the new general!If the court forgets its gratitude and righteousness, people die like extinguished lamps. Their past achievements cannot shelter future generations from the sun and rain. Then, the soldiers who shed blood on the battlefield would have one more consideration: whether what they do is worth it. 。After all, even if one contributes with all their might, they are merely a tool for the imperial court's warfare. Life is precious, but death is simply oblivion, forgotten in an instant. 。"What were they after"

The Regent was cornered by the Third Prince and only managed to escape the palace and arrive at the Ye Residence. 。When Quan Qingcheng thought of this, he sighed and looked at the group of ministers. He said, "Do you still remember General Ye's achievements I am very grateful to you" 。Could you come and offer incense to General Ye, so that I can see your loyalty and brotherhood 。I am here today to tell everyone that the court, and the people, will never forget all the loyal officials and valiant generals who served my Northern Qi. 。Your every effort, I have seen and kept in my heart. 。Do not laugh, and do not think that what I say is without weight. 。Yes, I ascended the throne less than half a year ago. Perhaps you think I am too young, and some of you may feel that as someone who spent so many years as a mute child, I was never personally instructed by the late emperor or trained in martial arts and horsemanship. 。In short, before I turned sixteen, I had never been raised as the heir apparent. 。So you think I am not worthy of this throne, that I became emperor by mere chance 。But in fact, as many of you saw at the New Year's Palace Banquet, the imperial edict clearly stated that the throne was to be passed on to me. 。Although I do not know what considerations the late emperor had when making this decision, since he has issued an imperial decree, I must sit upon this throne and rule well. I must ensure peace and prosperity for the land and bring stability to the country. 。Of course, you also said that I haven't learned anything. 。I don't think it matters. Things I haven't learned before, I can learn slowly in the future. Anyway, I haven't taken the throne yet and have over a year to study. 。There is also another matter, which I presume all of you lords are aware of. The esteemed Emperor will be hosting a grand banquet at the Yanghua Palace in a few days' time, to celebrate his four hundred and fifty-first birthday. On this momentous occasion, he has finally found a beloved woman. 。At that time, all the official residences within the inner city will receive an invitation from Yanhuapalace. I will also be personally present at the celebration banquet and gather with all of you officials. 。 Then why bring this up today I just want to tell you all, the Emperor said that besides celebrating the Emperor's return to his position, this banquet is also considered my apprenticeship ceremony. 。I will formally pay homage to the esteemed Lord Emperor at the banquet and become his disciple. From then on, I will learn from him personally how to be a qualified emperor. 。"What do you all think"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was stunned, even Ye Wenyan let out a soft "huh."

Shi Li Yuan wants to accept Quan Qing Cheng as his disciple And personally teach him the Way of the Sovereign The problem is, does Shi Li Yuan even know how to be a Sovereign Quan Qing Cheng then asked again: "My lords, why are you silent Do you have any opinions" Who dares to have an opinion! This is the world's first emperor personally taught by the Empyrean Lord, his future is limitless! So people began a new round of prostration, shouting “Long live the Emperor!” and “Long live the Empyrean!” Finally, they even included Ye Wen Yan, shouting "Long live Empress Dowager!" and "Long live Empress Dowager every day!" 。Many people who once looked down on Quan Qingcheng now revere this young emperor. 。Those who had connections with the regent were inwardly calculating when they would go to inquire of the regent, whether this matter was true or not. 。If this is true, then what will they do next With the Emperor personally supporting the emperor, does the Regent Prince still have a chanceThere are also many people who turn their attention to the sixth prince. They were once the faction that supported the eldest son. They always believed that only the eldest prince was worthy of sitting on the throne. 。The eldest prince represents the royal legitimacy, and the eldest prince is the one destined by Heaven. 。Unfortunately, the prince who ended up on the throne was a bastard son. Even though this illegitimate prince has now been acknowledged by His Majesty the Emperor and is going to be personally tutored, they still feel that the Sixth Prince standing behind the emperor has a more imperial bearing. 。Of course, they didn't know that the reason why Sixth Prince seemed more imposing at this moment was because he was now Quan Qingyin, not Quan Qinglu. The former Quan Qinglu would never give anyone such a misconception. 。

At this moment, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince was leaning his head to speak with Ye Wenyan. Seeing this scene, people whispered again: "Actually, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince and Miss Ye Si are quite a match. If they had been together in the first place, it wouldn't have been bad..."

"Well, Miss Ye Si is indeed beautiful, so beautiful that even in plain clothes she can't hide her radiance. " 。"Yeah, it's something that would make any man's heart skip a beat, unfortunately, Sixth Prince isn't lucky enough..." 。To say that the wedding back then, Sixth Highness was eight out of ten blind to have let go of Miss Four to marry Third Miss, they say he regrets it now, too bad there's no medicine for regret!

"What do you know Not marrying Miss Four is because she was too domineering. Sixth Highness couldn't handle her, and even Empress Dowager Li couldn't handle her..." 。In addition, with the might of General Ye pressing down on him, His Highness, Sixth Prince, was being held firmly in check. 。 。"Alright, it's all in the past, what's the point of bringing it up" 。Look, Sixth Prince and Miss Ye Si are talking right now. They were so at odds with each other before, how did they end up together again On the Longevity Banquet for the Grand Princess, Sixth Prince also kept speaking up for Miss Ye Si. The minds of these high-ranking people are truly unfathomable! Indeed, it's unfathomable. Not only can others not guess, even Ye Qingmei herself doesn't understand why the Sixth Prince came to talk to Ye Wenyan. 。All the guests had taken their seats. The news that Quan Qingcheng was a bomb dropped everyone's jaws, making them all look at him with newfound respect. 。With an Emperor reigning above, no one dared to underestimate this monarch any longer, nor could they treat him as an emperor without real power or involvement in government. 。"Being in direct control of the government is just a saying. The identity of Emperor's disciple is far more precious than that of the ruler of Northern Qi." 。

The banquet for Ming Shou was a vegetarian affair, with all dishes being plant-based. No one truly came for the food; the feast was merely a formality. People gathered for two reasons: firstly, to sincerely offer incense to the departed Night Zhi and his general sons, and secondly, to socialize, exchange gossip, and observe the current state of the Night family after losing their two generals.

Madam Mu, the wife of the head general, continued to manage the banquet with composure. She would converse with old comrades of the general and greet officials who came to pay their respects. 。Maintaining the appropriate distance, speaking only surface-level words, referring to Night View's return as General Ye Da, never mentioning a word of "husband," and not hearing any hint of intimacy. 。Even towards Old Madam Ye, she only addressed her as "Old Madam," not "Mother." 。 >, as if looking at a dead person. 。But Ye Si Jie didn't follow his expectations at all. She looked at A Man, with a face full of dissatisfaction: "Are you the aunt just now This doesn't look like an a...
