Chapter 757: Self-Condemning Edict (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

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

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

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

Consort Shu should have already met the Emperor.

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

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

Then, he began to read it out loud.

The hall finally fell silent.

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

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

The Nangong Clan had indeed died unjustly.

Ever 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.

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

They 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.

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

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

“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.”

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

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

Seeing this, the ministers hurriedly remonstrated.

“The Emperor can’t…”

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

The voice of remonstrance was endless.

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

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

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

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

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

The ministers finally fell silent.

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

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

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

Immediately, several ministers remonstrated.

However, Emperor Yan still ignored him.

“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.”

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

“I am guilty.”

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

The second glass of wine spilled on the ground.

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

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

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

After saying that, Emperor Yan looked at Liu Wuji.

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

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

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

In the future, he would be gone.

With 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.

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

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

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

However, none of this mattered.

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

All the officials knelt down.

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

“The second matter.”

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

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

As he spoke, Emperor Yan looked at Prince Anyang.

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

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

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

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

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

Step by step, he walked towards Prince Anyang.

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

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

“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..”
