Chapter 142: Chapter 34: Following the Trend, Princess Becomes the Emperor, The Sealed Immortal Spirit Root

Translator: 549690339

When Changning King Pei Ming uttered these words, the whole room was in an uproar!

This news was enough to shake the Court and the Commonalty, overthrow the entire Xia Country, and even change the fate of the Xia Country.

Who could have imagined that a Royal Uncle would want to support the princess to ascend the throne?

The two were uncle and niece, and Changning King Pei Ming had fought alongside the First Emperor when he was young, with a relationship as close as brothers. Their bond was forged on the battlefield.

If the Prince wanted to compete for the imperial throne, they would support and understand him.

What they couldn’t understand was why the Prince didn’t proclaim himself Emperor, but rather supported his niece as the Emperor.

Was it because he was a king of a different surname and wanted to use Princess as a puppet?

If that was the case, why would he hand over military power to her?

Wouldn’t this move just expose his weakness to her?ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

They truly couldn’t comprehend this move, and their hearts were filled with doubts.

Not only them, but even Yu Qinghan found it very strange.

She furrowed her brows slightly and asked calmly, ‘Why did Uncle suddenly decide to make me the Emperor?”

“It’s just an excuse to rebel, I guess.”

Yu Qinghan dared to come because she knew that the other party’s goal was definitely not to harm her, but rather to seek her help.

From regaining control of military power to just now, every move relied on her.

Pei Ming sighed slightly upon hearing her words and said with a hint of sadness on his face, shaking his head gently: “It’s for both the Xia Country and for you.”

A look of doubt appeared on Yu Qinghan’s face:

Did the other party just say nice words, or was it just hypocrisy?

Yu Qinghan said indifferently: “You’re not going to say something you think is good for me again, are you? If so, I’m sorry, but Xiang Yun has already said enough on your behalf.”

“I think I haven’t made any wrong moves or done anything wrong now. If you really want to lecture me, it’s not necessary.”

Her tone was as strong as ever, and she glanced at Pei Xiangyun.

Pei Xiangyun lowered her head when she heard this, feeling tormented by the quarrel between her father and Yu Qinghan.

“No.” Pei Ming shook his head, “You haven’t done anything wrong. On the contrary, you have contributed a lot to our entire Xia Country. But only you can undertake this position, and it involves too much.”

Yu Qinghan showed a hint of mockery on her face, and said indifferently, “In that case, has Uncle ever considered how a woman like me can bear this burden? Or am I just a puppet who has military power?”

Changning King Pei Ming shook his head, saying, “No, Qinghan, you must not only inherit the imperial throne, but also make achievements that let the world know that you are the true master of the Xia Country, and that the Fortune of the Xia is truly in your hands.” “That’s not what I want.”

Yu Qinghan flatly refused him.

She wouldn’t for-

Changning King Pei Ming’s face remained calm and his expression gradually became serious as he slowly said, “Qinghan, we have reached a critical moment. The national fortune of Yan Country has revived, and if we don’t push you to the throne, the Imperial Court of Xia Country might not be able to remain stable.”

Yu Qinghan interrupted him: “Isn’t my second brother doing a great job? Xia

Country is now very stable and fine, so why is Uncle so pessimistic?”

Changning King Pei Ming’s eyes were heavy as he said, “Yunping is still too naive. He has disbanded a large number of troops, including a significant part of the North’s army, which were used for famine relief in the Jianghuai region. Although this can greatly alleviate the unrest caused by famine, it puts Xia

Country in a very dangerous situation.”

“The Wolf Country in the North has always been ferocious, enjoying looting the borderlands. His actions will only hasten the outbreak of war between the two countries. I’m afraid the Wolf Country is already plotting to move southward, and if the two countries go to war, the harm it will bring will be even more terrifying than famine.”

“You should know that once a war begins, it can never be stopped. This will be an extraordinary battle.”

Yu Qinghan snorted, “So what Uncle means is that even if the Northern border is broken, the soldiers of Xia Country are just eating idly?”

Changning King Pei Ming stood up from his seat, looking serious:

“Not long ago, he established a national policy, appointed a large number of new scholars and those from humble families to various states and counties, replacing wave after wave from the previous dynasty, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people and alienated founding military officials. This move was unwise. Moreover, he focused all his attention on the remnants of Yan Country and neglected external dangers which are far more damaging than those of Yan Country.”

“Our Xia Country was founded on martial virtue; we cannot forget our roots.” “Can martial virtue establish a nation and mere Wen Zhi stabilize it?” Changning King Pei Ming’s words were filled with sincerity.

In summary, he had only one point.

The current emperor, who valued literature over martial arts and only focused on domestic crises like eradicating the remaining fortune of Yan Country and purging officials, had overlooked the dangers lurking outside.

But now, the Xia Country was not suitable for Wen Zhi rule because it had not completely settled down. The apparent stability was only temporary and superficial.

By the time a crisis arises, it will be too late.

Mainly because Yu Yunping’s nature was full of suspicion and had no sense of security about anything around him, including officials.

He didn’t even trust Pei Ming and even intensified his surveillance of him, but this little trick had long been seen through by the Changning King, who had been biding his time for years..
