Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2038

Emperor Zhaowu frowned, feeling extremely sad. He felt humiliated for having lost his imperial power, and also felt frustrated for having lost her trust.

At this moment, no matter how upset the officials outside the city were, the court disputes that had lasted for several months finally came to an end at this moment.

Everyone was thinking that the throne would eventually be returned to the Holy and Virtuous Emperor. If the throne was returned, would the Holy and Virtuous Emperor still be called the Mingde Emperor?

To be fair, all officials hoped that Emperor Mingde would return to the throne. It was really reassuring to have an emperor leading the army in person.

"Today, in front of the Retired Emperor, in front of all the civil and military officials... cough cough cough..." Emperor Zhaowu coughed rapidly, paused, turned, and bowed deeply toward the Taimiao, his dragon robe's wide sleeves cascading to the ground. "Moreover, in front of all our ancestors, I abdicate the throne to my younger brother, Prince Li Xiao Jiu."

He slowly took off his crown, held up the twelve-tasseled crown with both hands, and solemnly put it on Prince Li under the gaze of all the civil and military officials in the court.

The jade beads hanging from the crown swayed gently, reflecting the warm glow of the sun.

All the officials were stunned.

What? Pass the throne to Prince Li?

That kid...didn't he just disobey the emperor and marry a girl from the Wei family?

Everyone looked sideways, all at Chief Mo and Lord Wei, and then at General Wei Yuzhi who was standing in a row with Ma Chuyi.

As a result, these people remained calm, their eyes focused on their noses and their noses focused on their hearts, as if it had nothing to do with them.

So calm and peaceful.

Everyone suddenly came to their senses.

Oh my god! If Prince Li succeeds to the throne, will the daughter of the Wei family become the queen? Then Lord Wei Wei Wei Wei will be the father-in-law of the emperor!

Where is the Wei family's ancestral tomb? Hurry up and take up a piece of land next to his house.

"Old Wei!" Official A whispered, "Did you know this outcome?"

Wei Zhongshi looked at him seriously and said, "Lord Wang, please be careful with your words! The affairs of the royal family are unpredictable. How can a small official like me speak carelessly?"

Tsk! You wait for the little official!

Old Wei, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Your daughter has married the new emperor, and you are still a lowly official! Who do you think is lowly?

Oh! That's not right... A new emperor! A harem! Yeah, the three palaces and six courtyards have to start! My daughter is sixteen, just right!

Perhaps many officials thought of this, and their faces flushed. Only Director Mo was indifferent to the ups and downs, Lord Wei was not surprised by praise or criticism, and General Wei regarded glory and wealth as smoke and clouds.

Anyway, things like wealth, power and status are there whether you want them or not.

When you are unlucky, you can’t get it even if you risk your life. When you are lucky, wealth and glory will come to you even if you sit there and do nothing.

This is roughly the current situation for the Wei family. It can't be said that they are heading in both directions. It is completely that wealth and glory have unilaterally come to their Wei family over thousands of waves.

Even Director Mo couldn't help but sigh that he had been poor and frustrated all his life, and thought that his talent would be buried.

Who would have thought that thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west? He himself, his son-in-law, his grandson, his eldest granddaughter, his youngest granddaughter... Each one of them had a successful career or had made great achievements at a young age, and his granddaughters were all marrying well.

His little Pingting hasn't even grown up yet, and already... she's going to be the queen. It's totally unexpected, so unexpected!

The ancestors of the Mo and Wei families must be laughing so hard that they are about to crawl out of their coffins!

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court were in mixed feelings as they watched Emperor Zhaowu steadily hold up the important imperial seal, a symbol of the country, and solemnly hand it over to Prince Li.

Hearing the emperor's earnest words, "I will entrust this beautiful country to you, my ninth brother. I hope it will be in your hands and keep the peace and prosperity forever."

Prince Li took a deep breath, knelt on one knee and took the imperial seal, "I will definitely live up to your trust."

The scene was very touching and dignified, as if Emperor Zhaowu really abdicated because he was suffering from a serious illness.

The Minister of Rites sang in unison, "The new emperor ascends the throne—"

All officials knelt in unison to welcome the new emperor.
