Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 406 - 416: Senior Brother Gives Me Warmth, I Return a Kingdom

Chapter 406: Chapter 416: Senior Brother Gives Me Warmth, I Return a Kingdom

As Chu Feng spoke these words, he couldn’t help but think of another stunning beauty that was not present. Han Shuang from the Rashamon Sect was also his fiancée.

Indeed, the two had already shared the intimacy of a married couple.

Regrettably, she was not present at the moment. Last time, when Chu Feng was surrounded by formidable forces in the Northern Beixie Empire, she had rushed over with help. After seeing that Chu Feng was out of danger, she left quietly with her people.

If it wasn’t for Li Shishi telling Chu Feng about this, he would probably have had no idea that Han Shuang had come to his rescue.

In Chu Feng’s heart, her place was also uncontrollably elevated to extreme importance.

Han Xiaoying heard Chu Feng making a promise at the graves of Prince Jian’s couple that once he became powerful, he would marry her. She was thrilled.

"Dear mother, your son, using his own efforts, has reclaimed the Nine Yang Sword Veins and all the enemies have been put to death. Rest in peace in the underworld!" As Chu Feng prayed, he continued to burn joss paper.

After using the blood of his enemies to memorialize the spirits of his parents, the next step for Chu Feng was to choose an auspicious day for his coronation.

The experts from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect were the pinnacle forces of the sect. They had followed him to the Jianyun Dynasty and had already stayed for many days. Chu Feng also worried about the sect’s well-being.

Due to the urgency of time, Chu Feng picked a nearby auspicious day to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, to the ancestors, and to announce to the world, completing the coronation ceremony.

Senior brother Chu Jianlan had been looking on from behind, watching Chu Feng with satisfaction.

Chu Yun, his second sister, was also extremely happy, her face beaming with a satisfied smile. She had never dreamt that the Chu Family would not only clear their names but also become the most distinguished royalty in the Jianyun Dynasty.

The ritual slaughter of the five animals was done, and the priest finished chanting.

Now, it was time for the new Emperor to ascend the platform, worship Heaven and Earth, proclaim the state name, and announce a general amnesty among other matters.

"Senior brother, come up here!"

Chu Feng called to Chu Jianlan.

"What’s the matter? Is there something you need me to do?" Chu Jianlan asked as he ascended to the platform, thinking Chu Feng had some important task for him.

"Bring the imperial attire over!" Chu Feng commanded with authority.

The eunuch master of ceremonies brought a tray over, in which lay the Nine Dragon Emperor Robe and the Flat Crown adorned with tassels, as well as the Golden Dragon Belt and other items.

"Dress my senior brother!"

Chu Feng ordered again.

Even if Chu Jianlan was slow to realize, he now felt something was amiss. He hurriedly said, "Younger brother, today you ascend to the great treasure, promoting to be the sovereign of the nation. These crowns and Emperor’s Robes are meant for you to wear."

"As your elder brother, I dare not wear these!" Chu Jianlan repeatedly declined.

Yet Chu Feng wore a smile; all of this had been arranged by him well in advance.

"You are my senior brother. If you do not dare to wear them, then who in this world would dare?" Without further discussion, Chu Feng took the Emperor’s Robe and personally helped Chu Jianlan put it on.

The ministers and officials below were dumbfounded.

What was this new Emperor playing at? Did he intend to eliminate his own senior brother on the day of his coronation?

It’s true what they say, that emperors are heartless. It had barely been the coronation, and he was about to kill his own brother. It seemed that the new Emperor’s reputation as a benevolent and righteous ruler was somewhat unfounded.

The ministers all watched intently, none daring to speak out of turn.

Only key figures such as the Cabinet Chief and other senior officials, who seemed to be in on the secret, were smiling as they watched all this unfold.

"Younger brother, what exactly do you mean? Are you worried your elder brother will snatch your empire from you?"

Chu Jianlan was truly getting anxious.

Chu Feng’s expression turned serious. "Back in the day, when our Sword King Mansion faced calamity, and both of our parents perished, it was you, brother, who with your tender shoulders, upheld the Sword King Mansion. You provided me and our second sister with a warm and safe harbor, a loving home."

"No matter how much of a waste I was at that time, you and sister-in-law spared no effort to help and raise me."

"In the past, Senior brother gave warmth to his younger brother; today, the younger brother returns to Senior brother an entire kingdom! This Emperor’s Throne was, from the beginning, prepared for Senior brother."

"Therefore, Senior brother need not doubt any longer. The auspicious time has arrived; Senior brother, hurry and don your Dragon Robe, put on the Crown, burn incense to pray to heaven and earth, declare to all under the heavens, and complete the coronation ceremony!"

The words of Chu Feng caused a stir among the tens of thousands of subjects below watching the coronation, resulting in an outcry of astonishment and sighs of admiration.

Especially those who, with the hearts of petty men, had suspected the magnanimous Chu Feng of wanting to dispose of Chu Jianlan.

They were ashamed to the point of wishing the ground would swallow them up.

Compared to Chu Feng, they were far from close.

This is indeed a monarch of virtue!

Every single person was moved by Chu Feng’s noble character and deep fraternal love.

To so easily cede the kingdom and Imperial Throne to his own Senior brother, there is perhaps no more virtuous person in the world than Chu Feng.

"This, this..." Chu Jianlan, upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, was instantly filled with tearful eyes.

He had played both the father and the mother, raising his younger sister and dealing with persecution from the likes of the Jianyun Emperor. He had truly suffered and endured many grievances.

Now, Chu Feng had grown up and become accomplished.

To so generously repay his elder brother with such a grand gesture, how could he not be moved?

"Senior brother, please do not refuse any longer. For me, what matters most is to pursue the pinnacle of Sword Dao. The Ten Thousand Sword Sect is still waiting for me to revitalize it. The three Supreme Elders, you agree, don’t you?"

Chu Feng turned to look at the three Supreme Elders whose expressions were one of shock.

"Yes, yes, indeed!"

The three nodded vigorously. If Chu Feng really did become the Emperor of the Jianyun Dynasty, they would have their own concerns.

Because the position of Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was still awaiting Chu Feng’s succession.

Chu Jianlan was pushed to the Imperial Throne by Chu Feng, picking up a ready-made kingdom. Even if his capabilities were lacking, so long as he didn’t engage in foolish acts, he would definitely be able to stabilize his rule.

Watching his own Senior brother successfully ascend to the Emperor’s Throne, Chu Feng was also exceedingly happy.

He suggested on the spot that his Senior brother, seizing this excellent opportunity, should crown his sister-in-law as the Empress. This was also to prevent Chu Jianlan from possibly changing his heart and betraying his elder sister-in-law.

After all, in Chu Feng’s eyes, his sister-in-law was like half a mother to him, and his Senior brother, like half a father.

He did not want to see any division between the two.

Once one becomes Emperor, power and influence come with the position, and desiring any kind of beautiful woman would be possible.

People’s hearts change.

If Senior brother were to change his affections and be bewitched by some seductive beauty, the sister-in-law would probably be left in tears. Now, by making her the Empress, it cuts off the ambitions of many people.

Even if some beauty were to scheme her way into Chu Jianlan’s arms, at most she could be made a Noble concubine.

As for the seat of the Empress, that’s out of the question.

...

Two days later, Chu Feng helped Senior brother solidify his hold on the Imperial Throne, promoting a group of Righteous Ministers and eliminating a group of treacherous ones. Then, in the matters of the Imperial Palace’s guards and the military power of the Jianyun Dynasty’s army, he helped his Senior brother take control of it all.

Only then did Chu Feng leave with the experts of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

He believed that as long as Chu Feng was alive for one day, there would not be a single general who would dare to rise in rebellion.

After all, Chu Feng’s heroic deed of slaughtering six hundred thousand Barbarian soldiers in the Royal Capital had spread throughout the entire Jianyun Dynasty. Anyone wishing to rebel would need to count their heads first and see how many they had.
