Chapter 1013: Abandoned Enemy Country Proton 22
The old emperor didn't believe a single word Yun Yi said.
Wasn't it Yun Yi who had made him what he was today? Would he be so kind as to find a royal doctor to treat him? Not sending him off with a bowl of poison was already a sign of Yun Yi's mercy.
The old emperor thought that Yun Yi hated him so much that he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but he didn't know that the real punishment for him was not death, but being unable to die.
"I have ordered an imperial decree to be drafted. In one month, Father will pass the throne to me. You will be the Supreme Emperor, and together we will rule the country and handle state affairs. What do you think, Father?"
After Yun Yi finished speaking, he placed the medicine bowl in his hand on the low table beside the bed. A palace servant would come to serve him later.
"Ho…ho ho ho…"
The old emperor was speechless, only making noises in his throat, revealing his powerlessness and anger at the moment.
Yun Yi smiled, stood up and left Fengyi Palace.
-
The emperor abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor one month later, and the imperial edict for Crown Prince Yun Yi to ascend the throne was issued the next day.
The reaction of the court officials this time was not even as intense as when they first learned that Yun Yi was named the crown prince.
At that time, the third prince, the fifth prince, and even the fourth prince and the Chen family all had hopes for the throne, so the reaction was naturally strong.
Now, after several months of development, the third prince and the fifth prince are dead, one is imprisoned, the fourth prince is in a coma, and Yun Yi has just expanded the territory of the Yun Kingdom and filled the national treasury by selling wind and fire bombs.
Whether in terms of ability or power, there was no one who opposed him inside or outside the court.
This news spread to Qianfeng Kingdom and Dayue in an instant.
Neither Qian Fengyan nor Yue Mocheng were surprised by this.
Yue Moqing was extremely surprised. In her memory, Yun Yi was still the hostage who nearly died in Dayue and could not even afford food and clothing. She didn't expect that in just over half a year, he would suddenly become the emperor of Yun Kingdom.
"He could have sent troops to attack Dayue and seize more territory, but he only wanted to divide the border along the Sha River and maintain trade with Dayue. He probably didn't want to start a war."
Yue Moqing looked at Yue Mocheng's face as he spoke. Seeing that he didn't show any disgust, he continued, "My dear brother, you've been unhappy since you came back from the border this time. Is it because the emperor ordered you to seek peace with Yun Yi? Are you unhappy?"
If you put yourself in their shoes, it would be difficult for anyone to accept the change in their status over just a few months.
"No."
Yue Mocheng sighed deeply: "I just don't want to give up the territory that should belong to Dayue."
He originally thought that even if he lost the battle, the worst that could happen would be paying some money.
However, Yun Yi's growth was beyond his expectations, and Yun Kingdom's combat power was much higher than he had previously thought, leaving him with no power to fight back.
"Throughout history, this kind of thing is perfectly normal. Didn't our ancestors also seize land from others and establish the country of Dayue? It's just that Yun Yi has succeeded now, and we are the ones who have failed."
Dayue was founded over a hundred years ago, but these hundred years are really nothing in the long river of history.
Perhaps a hundred years after Yun Yi's death, the territory of Yun Kingdom will be occupied and divided by other countries.
The land originally had no name, but it was given a name only after it was occupied by someone.
The land never changes, only the people who live on it change.
Yue Mocheng turned to look at Yue Moqing. In his memory, his sister had always been a child. He never thought that she would say such words.
Is it because she is a bystander that she can see it clearly?
"What would you do if Yun Yi didn't agree to use Shajiang as the boundary and directly led his troops to attack the palace?" Yue Mocheng asked with a slight movement of his eyes.
If that day really comes, can she still stay out of it like she does now?
"What would I do?"
Yue Moqing thought about it carefully and said, "I should escape before they attack the palace, and then wander around the world."
"I will not avenge the Yue clan. I am very clear about my own abilities. I don't have that ability."
Yue Moqing smiled and continued, "If unfortunately I don't escape, I will commit suicide before they catch me. I will never let myself fall into their hands and be bullied."
"Myna, I know it's a bit selfish and spineless for me to say this, but this is what I really think."
Yue Mocheng lowered his eyes. He knew that what Yue Moqing said was true.
If that day really comes, he hopes that Yue Moqing can escape and start a new life. Even if he can't escape, he won't fall into the situation of being bullied.
"In fact, when it comes down to it, Yun Yi and I don't have any personal grudges. We just have different positions. There's not even the national hatred you mentioned. Yun Yi hasn't done anything to harm the people of Dayue, right?"
"Myna, wasn't the outcome of this battle with the Yun Nation already predetermined?"
Yue Mocheng raised his eyes, his brows furrowed.
At this point, Yue Moqing simply told the whole story, "Back when Yun Yi was still in Dayue, didn't you, Big Brother, predict that Yun Country might rise up in rebellion?"
"And at that time, you were the only one who anticipated it. Father and several of his other brothers never imagined that the Yun Kingdom would rise up in rebellion."
"So even without Yun Yi, it's only a matter of time before Yun Nation defeats Dayue."
"As a prince, you lack the awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace. You haven't thought about what will happen to the people in the event of a war. Even now, you are still resentful of the cession of land. You think that the Yun Kingdom won because of Yun Yi. Don't you think that is narrow-minded?"
"If the ancestors of the Yuezhi had only cared about gaining power and wealth, instead of genuinely caring about the people, how could they have had so many founding ministers following them? And how could the people have submitted to them?"
After all, without the people, a country is no longer a country.
After Yue Moqing finished speaking, he stood up and left without even looking at Yue Mocheng's expression.
She just said what she wanted to say. If Yue Mocheng couldn't accept it, or even felt that what she said was wrong, then Dayue's fortune would really come to an end.
Yun Yi naturally didn't know what the brother and sister were talking about in the Dayue Palace.
After returning to the capital, Yun Yi began to busy himself with the governance of the entire country.
His focus was no longer limited to border affairs, but on the development of the entire Yun Kingdom.
Actively develop trade exchanges with Qianfeng Kingdom and Dayue.
These days, military training, weapon forging and weapon manufacturing have seriously depleted the silver reserves in the national treasury. If we do not want to continue to levy taxes on the people, the only option is to increase revenue from other countries.
Different policies were also issued to cater to different situations in different places, and Yun Yi was very busy for a while.
Because the old emperor was still alive, Yun Yi ordered that everything be kept simple during the coronation ceremony, but he still received gifts from neighboring countries.
In addition to Qianfeng Kingdom and Dayue, other neighboring countries also expressed their congratulations, and their feelings of closeness were evident in their words.
