After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 426 Imperial Edict

Prince Rui and his men have arrived in the capital?

Yu Tingwan looked at Shen Chenli. Aren’t they at the border?

But they are all back now, so it is only right to bring him to the capital, but this...

Who else?

"Prince Rui, Prince Dongping, and the Saintess of Nanliang, I have secretly sent them back to the capital."

Yu Tingwan nodded suddenly, and then heard Shen Chenli say:

"It's almost time, some things should be resolved!"

It is time to give an explanation for everything his mother had experienced, everything he had experienced over the years, and everything the soldiers on the border had experienced.

Yu Tingwan's eyes were deep, and he waved his hand to let An San leave first.

"It is indeed time to end it. The emperor doesn't look like he can hold on for much longer."

There are also the Queen Mother and others. None of these people are innocent. Since Shen Chenli wants revenge, he can just kill them all.

Within a few days, rumors about Yu Tingwan spread in the capital, some good and some bad.

The two ministers avoided mentioning Yu Tingwan's help to Da Sheng, and only said that Prince Chen had been married for more than two years but still had no children, and the princess still refused to take a concubine for the prince, which made her a jealous woman!

Others said that the princess was in the rear house but wanted to interfere in the court. How could a woman interfering in politics put the dignity of men in such a situation?

Wouldn’t other countries say that we have no people?

There were only a few rumors, which slandered Yu Tingwan by saying that he had no children, did not take concubines, and was jealous.

It did have an effect, but apart from those pedantic scholars and old-fashioned students, few ordinary people listened to it.

When talking about these things, the people would spontaneously change the subject, saying how good the princess was to them, and how she went to help them in person even when the epidemic was serious. She was also very brave in the previous war, and she punished evildoers for the people and dealt with many bad guys!

As well as the things produced by Yu Tingwan, and other things like that, there was not a single one that he didn't praise.

In just two days, not only did they fail to build up public opinion against Yu Tingwan, but they made Yu Tingwan even more famous in Dasheng!

Two days later, Yu Tingwan and Shen Chenli went to court together. This time, all the court officials were present, and everyone knew that something was going to happen.

"The prince is here! The princess is here!"

"Your Highness, your Highness, and your Highness the Princess!"

Even though some people did not want to see women in the court, they had to bow down and kowtow at this time.

"Flat body."

Shen Chenli and the other man sat on the high platform, looking at the court officials standing below. This time, Shen Chenli did not wait for the officials to speak first, but took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"I guess some well-informed people must have known about Prince Rui's return to the capital in the past two days!"

With just these words, everyone in the hall fell silent, waiting tremblingly for the prince's next words.

After all, they didn't know whether the focus of the prince's words was on Prince Rui or on being well-informed!

Shen Chenli looked at the people below with different expressions, but his face did not show much expression. Instead, he continued:

"Da Sheng is now slowly getting back on track, and some things should be dealt with. What do you think, ministers?"

Everyone understood instantly that after such a long time, the prince was finally going to start the reckoning.

For a moment, no one dared to speak.

"Your Highness, I also think it's time. The people have been through so much, and it's time to give them an explanation."

No one spoke, but Song Shixu was the first to stand up.

Shen Chenli looked at him slowly and nodded imperceptibly.

Then, another Duke of Fuguo suddenly stepped forward, bowed and said:

“Your Majesty, now that the epidemic has been eradicated and the villains have been driven out of Dasheng, the people are gradually living and working in peace and contentment. However, the emperor is incompetent and has caused chaos in the court and the people are living in misery. He did not restrain the words and deeds of the former crown prince, and forced the court officials to take poison pills, making the entire court a one-man show. Later, he even let the wolf into the house, causing the people of the capital to suffer terribly. He is truly unworthy of being a king.

However, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Your Highness has guarded the border for more than ten years, and has also wiped out the Northern Di who were eyeing Da Sheng. He has always been considerate of the people of Da Sheng. Now your highness has the highest reputation among the people, and his achievements are unparalleled. Please consider Da Sheng and the people of the world, and please ascend the throne as emperor!"

Instantly, the court fell silent. Just when the court officials thought that only the Duke of Fuguo had stepped forward, they saw Grand Tutor Jiang who was standing in the queue also stepped forward and said slowly:

"What the Duke of Fuguo said is right. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Now that the thorny epidemic has been resolved, I hope Your Majesty will follow the will of the people and ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible!"

"Please ascend the throne soon, Your Majesty!"

In an instant, all the ministers knelt down, but some of them looked confused.

No, why did you start persuading me?

Why didn't anyone inform them?

Are you starting to persuade me now?

Shen Chenli looked at the reactions of the crowd below with a slightly frowned look. To be honest, no one notified him!

Turning his head to look at Yu Tingwan standing beside him, he saw that she was also shrugging at him. It was obvious that she had no idea when the Duke of Fuguo and her grandfather had discussed this matter!

However, Yu Tingwan could also understand it. They all knew that Prince Rui had returned to Beijing, so they naturally knew that Shen Chenli would definitely avenge Concubine Duanjin. However, the identity of a prince alone was obviously not enough, so they wanted to give Shen Chenli a push.

There was silence in the hall for a while. Seeing that Prince Chen did not respond, everyone started shouting one after another, as if they wanted to force Prince Chen to come forward!

The Duke of Fuguo and Grand Tutor Jiang raised their heads and looked in the direction of Shen Chenli, nodding at him imperceptibly.

In an instant, Shen Chenli understood what was going on!

Then he said in a deep voice: "It is my duty to ensure that the people of Dasheng live and work in peace and contentment, without fear of foreign invasion. I feel deeply saddened by the disaster that has befallen Dasheng. There is really no need to waste people's money and resources at this time. You should all get up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the people below start again!

The Duke of Fuguo knelt down and kowtowed, shouting:

"It is a blessing for the people that Your Highness cares about the people, but Da Sheng needs Your Highness even more. Your Highness must not refuse! Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

In an instant, the entire hall echoed with the shouts of court officials.

Yu Tingwan was stunned, and saw Shen Chenli flicking his sleeves and pulling her to sit on the throne, then waving to the side.

"Stand up! In this case, I have some things to explain to the people!"

After saying this, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he waved his hand and asked Wei Ming to come forward.

Among the crowd, Wei Ming was holding two volumes of imperial edicts in his hands. Judging from the colors on them, one seemed to be from a long time ago, while the other was quite new.

Then, Butler Chen bowed to Shen Chenli, picked up one of the volumes, opened it, and read the contents.

Sure enough, some people confirmed their guesses after hearing the above content.
