nChapter 757: Self-Condemning Edict (3)

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nSending an edict of self-blame represented that the Emperor admitted that he had no virtue. It would damage the emperor’s reputation.

nLiu Wuji also looked at Emperor Yan but did not say anything.

nAt the same time, he already had some guesses in his heart.

nConsort Shu should have already met the Emperor.

nEmperor Yan waved his hand and ignored the advice of the courtiers. He signaled for Eunuch Dahu to read out the edict.

nEunuch Dahu took out the imperial edict from the wooden box.

nThen, he began to read it out loud.

nThe hall finally fell silent.

nWhen the courtiers heard that the Emperor Yan’s edict was to redeem the Nangong Family, they were all shocked.

nAfter listening to Eunuch Dahu read out the edict, they didn’t say anything else.

nThe Nangong Clan had indeed died unjustly.

nEver since Chu and Jin allied and sent out their troops to the Great Yan, whether it was the commoners or the imperial court, they all missed the Nangong family and the invincible Great General King.

nThere were even many people who had some secret rebellious thoughts.

nThey believed that the reason why the Great Yan had fallen to such a state was because of the Emperor’s attack on the Nangong Clan.

nEmperor Yan smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw the reaction of the officials.

nThe Nangong Family’s influence on the Great Yan was much deeper than he had thought.

n“The Nangong Family has been loyal for generations, and they are the pillar of the Great Yan. However, because 1 listened to the words of a villain, I made the wrong decision. It caused the loyal officials to be punished, and the Great Yan in turmoil.”

n“This is my fault!” Emperor Yan said with a pained expression.

nThen, he got up and took off the crown on his head.

nSeeing this, the ministers hurriedly remonstrated.

n“The Emperor can’t…”

n“The Great General King has passed away, he definitely doesn’t want the Emperor to…”

nThe voice of remonstrance was endless.

nHowever, Emperor Yan turned a deaf ear and placed the crown he had taken off on the dragon throne.

nThen, Eunuch Dahu brought over the wine that he had prepared in advance.

nEmperor Yan took a cup of wine and faced the entrance of the hall.

n“I have let down the Great General King and the Nangong Clan. 1 am doing this to express my guilt.”

nAfter saying that, Emperor Yan tilted his wine glass and spilled the wine on the ground.

nThe ministers finally fell silent.

nImmediately after, Emperor Yan raised his second glass of wine.

n“I have also let down the people of the Great Yan.”

n“Your Majesty!” Realizing what Emperor Yan was about to say, the Prime Minister suddenly shouted.

nImmediately, several ministers remonstrated.

nHowever, Emperor Yan still ignored him.

n“Because of my oversight, the Great Yan War God was killed. After that, I implicated the Nangong Clan, causing the Nangong Army to abandon me.”

n“I have let the Great Yan become inferior to Chu and Jin. I have let countless people suffer because of my mistakes.”

n“I am guilty.”

nAfter saying that, Emperor Yan tilted his wine glass again.

nThe second glass of wine spilled on the ground.

nIgnoring the cries and whimpers of the courtiers, Emperor Yan continued.

n“Today, 1 issue an edict to repent and return the Nangong Clan’s innocence.”

n“Also, if there are any descendants of the Nangong Clan, they can be officials again. They must be put in an important position.”

nAfter saying that, Emperor Yan looked at Liu Wuji.

nHe had long known that Nangong Xiao was the Imperial Advisor’s disciple.

nIf Nangong Xiao was willing to return to the imperial court and serve the imperial court, he would be able to do so.

nWith the Nangong Army, the Great Yan would be much safer.

nIn the future, he would be gone.

nWith the new ruler taking the throne, the enmity between the Nangong and the royal family dissipated. Nangong Xiao would definitely become the new ruler’s next national divine weapon.

nLiu Wuji understood what Emperor Yan meant, but he smiled helplessly.

nXiao’er, that child, was more vengeful than outsiders thought.

nEven if the Nangong family was vindicated, after this incident, he wouldn’t help the Murong family anymore.

nHowever, none of this mattered.

nThe Nangong family’s redemption was considered to have solved their biggest worry.

nAll the officials knelt down.

nOnly then did Emperor Yan let Eunuch Dahu pick up the crown and put it aside before sitting back on the dragon throne.

n“The second matter.”

n“Recently, perhaps the ancestor of the Murong family couldn’t stand what 1 did and entered my dream to teach me a lesson.”

nAfter listening to the teachings of my ancestors, 1 feel that 1 am too mediocre to continue to rule the Great Yan.”

nAs he spoke, Emperor Yan looked at Prince Anyang.

n“Therefore, 1 am determined to abdicate. Give way to my eldest son, Prince Anyang.”

nAs soon as these words were said, the entire court was shocked.

nThe ministers knelt down again, begging the Emperor to retract his order.

nPrince Anyang also knelt down and begged his father to retract his order.

nHowever, Emperor Yan still ignored him. Instead, he picked up the crown and walked down from it.

nStep by step, he walked towards Prince Anyang.

nPrince Anyang watched as his father approached, his heart filled with excitement and fear.

n“You are my eldest son, and you have outstanding abilities. You have the heart to serve the country and the people.”

n“Our ancestors also think that you are worthy of the great responsibility. I am confident that after you take the throne, the Great Yan will be able to enjoy a long period of peace..”
