Chapter 303 - This World Chose the Right Emperor Finally
Chapter 303 This World Chose the Right Emperor Finally
Early in the next morning, when Jun Yeyan opened his eyes, he heard the exclaiming voice of the little maids outside.
“It is snowing!”
“Oh my god! It’s snowing in our country!”
The utterances and words made Jun Yeyan stunned slightly. Then he got up slowly.
Putting on a coat casually, Jun Yeyan hurried to the window and opened the window. The snowflakes which were as white as geese’s feathers fell on the frame of the window piece by piece.
It was a little gloomy now. The falling snow was extremely beautiful.
For so many years, the Chengxi Dynasty had never snowed. To put it another way, since he became sensible, it had never snowed once.
Even though it was so cold in winter, it had never snowed in the Chengxi Dynasty. But it snowed in the Nanyue Dynasty every year.
It was the first time that he had seen snowflakes since he grew up.
“It is true that… when the snowflakes fall… it’s really beautiful.” Jun Yeyan murmured gently and a smile appeared on his lips.
What Jun Yeyan didn’t know was that in the whole Chengxi Dynasty, no matter where it was, people were celebrating the snow and felt the happiness together. As the saying went, a timely snow promised a good harvest. When their new Emperor had just ascended to the throne, the heavens made a timely snowfall.
This was exactly a good sign!
At this moment, there was a rare peaceful situation in the Imperial Palace. Most of the maids and eunuchs in the Imperial Palace had not been changed. Those who followed Jun Wuhen had been killed quickly by Jun Yeyan.
Basically, there was no danger in the Imperial Palace now.
In the beginning, these maids and eunuchs had been curious about the Queen, but the momentum that Jun Yeyan showed to them was different from that of Jun Wuhen. So they knew what to ask and what not to ask.
As long as they behaved well, they could safely stay in the Imperial Palace. When they became old, they would be released from the Imperial Palace and live a comfortable life.
After watching the snowy scenery for a while, Jun Yeyan began to dress up. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth.
As an emperor, he did not like to be served by those maids or eunuchs. To put it another way… he refused and disliked being touched by anyone except Bai Aoxue.
Maybe this was a kind of psychological cleanliness.
When the maids and eunuchs had waited outside, Jun Yeyan had already dressed up.
” Your Majesty, it’s time to go to morning court.” The little eunuch’s sharp voice came from the door.
Jun Yeyan arranged the corners of his clothes. His legs were slender. His every step was firm and strong.
When he opened the door, the cold wind in winter whistled with snowflakes. It was really a cold day.
The little eunuch aside hurriedly handed over a bright yellow cloak.
The snowy and smooth white fur on the cloak made Jun Yeyan look more tall and handsome like a heavenly man.
Even though he still wore a black jade mask at this moment, he still made people imagine endlessly.
The little eunuchs and maids aside looked at Jun Yeyan stunningly. They only thought that the Emperor in front of them had an ugly face. They were a little scared. But they did not expect that even Jun Yeyan in this way could also make them absent-minded.
“It has been the first snow in the Chengxi Dynasty since I was born. It is really memorable.” Jun Yeyan reached out to catch a snowflake and said slightly.
This low, sexy and attractive voice made these maids and eunuchs come back to their consciousness. They all had a look at Jun Yeyan anxiously.
“Your Majesty, this is a good sign. They all said that a timely snow promised a good harvest. According to me, Your Majesty’s country must be lucky and prosperous in the future!” The courageous little eunuch aside said with flattery.
But he really meant it in his words.
Hearing the little eunuch’s words, Jun Yeyan slightly tilted his eyes and smiled. He said softly, “It’s not only in the Chengxi Dynasty but also in the world, the whole world!”
Finishing these words, he left firstly.
He left those maids and eunuchs who were brightly staring at the direction which Jun Yeyan left.
They all understood what Jun Yeyan meant!
Although the Chengxi Dynasty was peaceful and the people lived a safe life now, they could not guarantee that one day they would not be attacked by a strong enemy. Only by unifying the world could the people be truly safe.
This was what they hoped but they dared not imagine. Their monarch had said that he was to win the whole world though they felt it was a big talk.
But somehow, each of them was willing to believe it from the bottom of their hearts.
On this side, Jun Yeyan thought about going to the Throne Hall. A few people including Duke Deyuan were anxiously waiting for Su Mengrou’s arrival outside the Throne Hall.
They were waiting for Su Mengrou to bring them the good news.
But as time passed second by second, they hadn’t seen Su Mengrou. Some ministers had arrived. They were waiting in line for Jun Yeyan’s arrival.
It was not decent for them to stand outside the Throne Hall like this. Thinking in this way, Duke Deyuan called these people to enter the Throne Hall.
Anyway, as long as they cooperated later, they could make Jun Yeyan compromise. They could success even without Su Mengrou.
Although it would be a bit more difficult, they could only do so now.
Clenching his fists, Duke Deyuan gradually became a little uneasy. But he could not withdraw any more at this moment.
” Your Majesty is arriving.” The little eunuch’s sharp voice resounded in the Throne Hall.
Duke Deyuan straightened his body in an instant. For some reason, his heart beat so fast at this moment.
“Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!” He worshiped respectfully like others.
“All the ministers stand up.” The indifferent, cold male voice always made all the ministers feel a little scared.
But they didn’t know why they were scared.
Now the Emperor was unfamiliar to them. They didn’t know his character and personality.
Most of them could only behave carefully except those who had already known Jun Yeyan’s temperament. But they dared not bother him as well!
Sitting on the high platform, Jun Yeyan coldly glanced at everyone present and then listened to the reports of some ministers quietly.
After some ministers had reported all sorts of trivial things, Duke Deyuan’s eyes flashed. He knew that it was time for him to appear on the scene. When he planned to take two steps forward, he was interrupted by a heroic male voice.
“To tell His Majesty, I have something to report!” The restrained and respectful voice carried absolute surrender.
Looking at Zhao who walked out of the line, Jun Yeyan smiled and said, “Prime Minister, what do you need to report?”
When Jun Yeyan ascended the throne, he entitled Zhao to be the Prime Minister. This was what Jun Yeyan had long thought about. Zhao had been with him for so many years. Their relationship had no longer been the master and the servant. Of course, he would never forget him.
While several people including Ten Shadows actively took the initiative. They asked Jun Yeyan to remain their status as Ten Shadows to protect Jun Yeyan in the dark.
Of course, Jun Yeyan knew what they thought. But he didn’t want to force them to stay in the deceiving and complicated court, either. So he agreed to their request.
“I received the news early this morning. We won the battle around the border. Our army forced the Mobei Dynasty’s army out of the border station. Their army had returned to the Mobei Dynasty. Our army is fighting more and more bravely now. The Mobei Dynasty is losing the battle step by step. The victory is about to come in few days! The general asked me to tell His Majesty not to worry about them. When the Queen returns, he will send the Mobei Dynasty’s land to celebrate!” Even if he was a prime minister, he had stayed with Jun Yeyan for many years, so he still didn’t change his habit.
Anytime when he reported to him, he acted as the way he did to the Dark King before. As a subordinate, he knelt on the floor on one knee and put the left hand on the chest. He was respectful to the extreme and his actions were impeccable. He submitted willingly.
“Ho… Since it is the case, I’ll wait for their good news. Don’t let me and the Queen down.” The thin lips that were slightly compressed at this moment gently formed a beautiful angle that carried glittering lights, sacred and unreachable.
As soon as those ministers heard Zhao’s words, they had already been shocked. They were at a loss of what to do. They didn’t know when Jun Yeyan sent the army and when did the army attacked the Mobei Dynasty. They didn’t know about it at all.
But now they were told that the Mobei Dynasty was about to lose the battle. This was like a thunder on the ground which made them both shocked and happy.
“Your Highness… It was so, so….” The big scholar of the Academic House was less elegant than before. He looked at Jun Yeyan with wet eyes and asked.
“The heavens really bless our Chengxi Dynasty! The heavens really bless our monarch!” Some other ministers were very excited as well. They were at a loss of what to do.
Even if there were a few corrupt officials among those ministers, all of them wanted the three countries to be unified so that people could live a peaceful life in this troubled and turbulent times.
Now, under the circumstances that they knew nothing, everything that they once dreamed of was about to come true. How could they not feel happy?
Jun Yeyan looked at all the ministers and said, “When I took the catilla from Ye Zhaojue that day, I vowed that I would return peace to the world and return a true justice for General Ye one day. Now I fulfill my promise to let you see clearly that, even though there are maggots in this decaying country, there are people who would rather die than submit. General Ye dared to believe in me. He handed over the entire country’s army to me and gave me his only loved one. What are you afraid of? How can I fail to live up to your ambitions! ”
His forceful and lofty sound carried the motivation to make people willing to be convinced. A group of ministers cried with enthusiastic tears.
For so many years, they hadn’t seen a monarch who was such appealing.
Perhaps the world chose the right monarch finally.
This sentence was probably the voice of many ministers.
A few people including Duke Deyuan had been dumbfounded. They didn’t expect that Jun Yeyan would take a quicker step and catch them unawares.
Jun Yeyan’s play made whatever they would say wrong. Only silence was the best choice.
But after today… it would not be a good time to mention the selection of imperial concubines again.
“By the way, the reason why I say these today is that I want to let you know my stubbornness and persistence for this throne. I owe someone a promise. In order to fulfill this promise, I will ascend the throne anyway and then take the whole world step by step. No one can stop me!” The confident voice made everyone dare not to object.
“Of course, there are some of you who are treacherous. I don’t plan to keep useless people in vain. I say it all today. The rules will be reorganized. Duke Deyuan, you know what I mean, don’t you?” Jun Yeyan squinted slightly. His golden pupils carried magical lights.
Duke Deyuan was shocked. He knelt on the ground in a mess.
