Chapter 62 - Confrontation
Early in the morning, the Emperor received a letter from the Ling Wang.
"Your Majesty, This King has also thought about it. Right now, the inside and outside of the Darkhan Empire are peaceful, the court is stable, the people are peaceful and happy, This King also deeply feels that His Majesty has good governance. This king has been out fighting since the age of sixteen, and in this way, it has been ten years.
Chu Yi Chen's voice was extremely faint, and all the court officials present were shocked. Ling Wang, who had always been in the palace and had very few opinions, what was he planning to do today?
The Emperor, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, felt his heart tremble. His gaze was gloomy and his face was expressionless. Ever since he ascended the throne, there were some things that he had to do even if he didn't want to. He couldn't possibly be forcing him too much, could it be that the Young Emperor Uncle was about to take action?
"But this king is really tired, and after battling for so many years, there are many injuries on my body, and the world is already at peace. This king wants to have a good rest, so, this king came to the imperial court today to ask the emperor, for my identity as a Young Emperor Uncle, to allow this king to request a king's position, to head for a division of territories." Chu Yi Chen said again.
Gasps could be heard from the court before a court official spoke, "Your Majesty, please do not …" Prince Ling, please think twice … " Prime Minister Zhang Tianzheng shouted as he knelt on the ground.
The Public Office's Minister Qin Dezhong also knelt on the ground and begged, "Prince Ling, you must have a Prince in the Darkhan … "Your majesty, we can't agree to anything …"
"What a joke, the Darkhan has the Emperor as its ruler, and the Emperor has the entire empire's military and civil support. If a prince is missing, would the Darkhan destroy the entire country? "Sir Qin's words are really laughable …" The Minister of the Military Department, Dou Qi Xiao, coldly snorted:
"Your majesty, this Prince Ling has spent most of her life on the battlefield. It's time to take a breather. Since Your Highness has requested it, it's better that Your Majesty grant it …"
There were also people following the winds below, and the imperial court was immediately split into three factions, the one supporting and the other opposing started arguing with each other, and there were also a few court officials that quietly watched, amongst them, was Zhuo Baiyuan.
As for the emperor, who had been sitting in the Dragon Throne this entire time, he was staring intently at the two of them. However, Chu Yi Chen, who had concealed all of his emotions behind his mask, couldn't tell what it felt like.
The things that he proposed today, was exactly what he wanted, and the words that he said to Young Emperor Uncle in the Great Hall of the Great Hall of the Hou Dynasty the day before yesterday, it seemed like Young Emperor Uncle understood.
However, he was still a bit uncertain. How could he react so quickly? Furthermore, he even prepared the imperial report. Could it be that he had already planned this long ago?
Back then, his father had wanted to return the throne to this Young Emperor Uncle. However, he did not want to be tied here, so he came to discuss with him how to let him succeed the throne. It could also be said that this throne was given to him by the Young Emperor Uncle.
However, the War God Ling Wang who was the only person in the world who knew the big man, how many people knew who the current Darkhan's emperor was? Most likely, there weren't many people who could call out his name, so how could he not be worried.
Another one was … Empress, Zhuang Hanyun, the first daughter of the original Grand Tutor Manor's Grand Scholar, the person he loved most. Until today, she had always held the existence of Chu Xi Chen in her heart, so how could he not be worried?
Chu Yi Chen's existence was the reason why he was unable to rest in peace.
Just like that, the two of them looked at each other. The imperial court was in chaos, as if it was a market.
"Your Majesty, please accept this king's request. On the tenth day of the new year, this king will bring the family and go to the Subordinate Lands." Chu Yi Chen said indifferently.
Immediately, the imperial court was in complete silence.
The Emperor secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He opened the imperial report in his hand and stared at Chu Yi Chen with wide eyes, "Young Emperor Uncle, are you sure you're not joking with me?"
"Of course, as the current Emperor Uncle of the Darkhan Empire, as well as the personally bestowed Ling Wang by the Ancestral Emperor, and the previous Emperor himself, the Nine-Jeweled Prince, I presume this honor still exists, right?" The corner of Chu Yi Chen's mouth slightly raised, and his gaze became even colder as it shot out from his mask.
When the Emperor heard this, his heart was vexed, and the anger on his face became obvious. He looked at the Emperor with a fierce gaze. "Royal Uncle wants to share the world equally with me!"
"Why does Your Majesty say that? This King does not intend to do so. " Chu Yi Chen smiled.
"Five countries and four continents! Isn't it even divided evenly? " the Emperor raised the paper in his hand and asked angrily.
"Even though the Emperor is a five countries and four continents, he is still a five countries and four continents of the Darkhan. The entire world of the Darkhan belongs to the Emperor, and although I took these five countries and four continents as my feudal fiefdom, it is also a land of kings. Chu Yi Chen felt like laughing.
This girl was too godly. Yesterday, she was helping him imitate her, so why was it called 'rehearsal'? And every word she said was being spoken by this person sitting on the dragon throne. Moreover, the order hadn't changed.
The imperial court exploded once again. It was the two factions that were at each other's throats.
Some said that the Ling Wang believed that his achievements were too high and didn't care about His Majesty.
Some said that the Ling Wang's request was not excessive;
Some said that the Ling Wang was looking down on the imperial power.
It was said that the Ling Wang was lowering his status …
Chu Yi Chen and the emperor acted as if they didn't hear anything, automatically blocking out these people as a background board, only that the two of them were staring at each other and fiercely.
After half an incense stick of time, Chu Yi Chen took a step forward and bowed, "Looks like Your Majesty still needs to think about this. Since Your Majesty can afford to wait, then I won't disturb Your Majesty's thoughts.
With that, he waved his wide sleeves and strode out of the great hall. At this time, the emperor's expression wasn't good, and a mouthful of blood was held down at his throat, causing his heart to ache.
After leaving the imperial court, the emperor angrily went to the empress's palace. He tossed the paper in his hand in front of the empress who was leisurely drinking tea and ignoring him as he sat there. "What a good imperial uncle …" This is who you want to be... He is going to share the world with us … "It seems like you have really waited …"
The empress's originally calm expression was surprised by his words. A look of pleasant surprise flashed across her face. She immediately picked up the paper and looked at it. The more she looked at it, the more she smiled. Finally, she grinned.
When the emperor saw this, he became even angrier. With a loud roar, he smashed something within the palace.
Empress Zhuang Hanyun basically thought that he did not exist. She was only holding the paper in her hands as a smile flashed across her eyes.
As for the palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside the palace hall, they simply looked at the scene with their eyes and noses, not responding at all. This was already a common occurrence.
