Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife-Chapter 585.1: Before Even Taking Post, First Lighting a Fire

Chapter 585.1: Before Even Taking Post, First Lighting a Fire

Before Even Taking Post, First Lighting a Fire (1)

Because of Jing Wan’s ‘inaction’, this matter really let certain people ruthlessly exercise their hearts, the main reason being that this time, Li Hong Yuan seemingly was planning on being willful to the end.

Originally, in everyone’s view, even if he were to be ‘reserved’ for once, more or less was enough. In the beginning when getting rejected outside the door, the officials actually were already mentally prepared, and inviting three four times also wasn’t that big of deal. However, after five to six consecutive times scaling the gates, yet still getting rejected outside the door, that was just a bit overboard. The originally rather calm officials, at this time, weren’t that calm anymore, tweaking their ears and scratching their cheeks, having a look of distress. If it continues like this, with no one overseeing the governmental affairs, the big and small matters of the world piling up, it will sooner or later turn into a big problem.

Under this kind of situation, it’s not that no one wondered whether or not Jin Qinwang really had no intentions towards the throne.

Of course, as soon as these words poked its head out in the slightest, it just got jointly extinguished by the others. He’d done that many things previously, was it all because he was just too bored with nothing to do? That’s why, even if beaten to death, no one would believe that he had no intentions towards the throne. As for those that were still somewhat restless inside, before even doing anything, they just got noticed by certain people’s sharp eyes, and without a second word, just got beaten up first. Just like, for example, Qin Tian Ming’s son-in-law. This time, it was beating up for real, completely disregarding status, and even quite ruthlessly. Aside from the face, there probably wasn’t that many places on the body left unbruised, “If you want to die, then just find a rope on your own and hang yourself, don’t f*cking drag down others.”

Qin Tian Ming’s words truly were blunt, but Gong Qinwang dared to be angry, but didn’t dare to retort. The two examples in front were still in the imperial prisons, and don’t know what will happen to them.

Thus, the people heading to Jin Qinwang Manor just increased. Behind those high ministers followed even more court officials, increasing more and more. Not only so, the people of the imperial clan also came out, from that toothless old grandfather whose seniority in the family hierarchy can rank in Li Hong Yuan’s great grandfather’s generation, down to those that can be considered to be of Li Hong Yuan’s grandson’s generation. It really was quite a lot of people.

Afterwards, even those brothers of his all appeared, loudly wailing to the heavens, including Gong Qinwang. That stance was just like as if they can’t live without him.

And at this time, Luo Old Madam also looked for Jing Wan. Others weren’t able to see her, but Luo Old Madam visiting, Jing Wan certainly won’t reject outside the door.

When facing her own grandmother, Jing Wan expressed that she was also very helpless. She very much doubted whether or not he’d really experienced his ‘past life’, having been the emperor before. Just look at what he was doing, was it really what a mentally mature and rational person would do? If you really don’t want to be the emperor, just directly say it! Alright, even if he said it, probably no one would believe nor agree. Even if they agreed in their hearts, they still won’t say it with their mouth. Who knows whether or not you’re digging a trap at this time, just waiting for some of them to jump out, so that you can legitimately catch them all. They weren’t that stupid.

“Wangfei please urge wangye a little. Continuing to wait like this isn’t good either, and certainly will lead to trouble. Wangfei’s body right now is also very inconvenient. Having the peace get disturbed by some unnecessary troubles is truly unacceptable.”

Jing Wan smiled, “Grandmother, don’t worry, I will properly talk to him. Right now, you……….”

“This subject’s wife will just take one’s leave first.”

Jing Wan slightly hesitated, actually a bit unwilling to part, “This way is also good. In this cold winter weather, grandmother should also pay attention a little, don’t catch a cold.”

“Don’t worry wangfei, the people serving by the side are very attentive. There won’t be any problems.”

After sending off Luo Old Madam, Jing Wan went to the side room to look for Li Hong Yuan. Under the bright window, he was half leaning against the window sill. Just don’t know how much of the scene outside he actually took in.

Jing Wan’s stomach will soon be seven months. Even though she wasn’t like many pregnant women where her every move was all very careful and cautious, she still appeared a bit cumbersome. Li Hong Yuan hurriedly got up to support her.

Jing Wan rejected leaning in his arms, instead sitting across from him, meeting with him face to face, “Already this many days, wangye should’ve also played enough, right? Or should I say, stop before going too far?” Jing Wan said with a smile. A few days ago, Jing Wan perhaps had doubted his true thoughts, but in these last two days, would she still not know that he was purely just causing mischief.

TN: All

“What do you mean play, this husband is fishing.” Li Hong Yuan very boldly said.

“Fine, fishing, but the situation right now is that the fish all don’t dare to bite. And from the looks of it, in the future, they further won’t dare to rashly jump out. If you continue fishing like this, perhaps you’ll just anger the court officials. Regardless of what you think, they will all assume that you have no desire for the throne, and therefore seek another candidate.”

Li Hong Yuan nonchalantly smiled, his eyes carrying a bit of mockery, “Sure like to see them try.” His line of sight landed on Jing Wan’s stomach, indeed shouldn’t let trouble appear. However, it was also more or less about time.

Li Hong Yuan reached out to stroke her face, “The palace is still a mess. Once I finish arranging everything, I’ll come pick you up.”

Jing Wan nodded, saying with a smile, “Just go, there are also matters that need to be taken care of in the manor.”

Li Hong Yuan got up, landing a kiss on her lips before finally leaving.

Jin Qinwang Manor’s gates finally opened. For the people that have been waiting too long outside, it really was a bit sudden. However, after momentarily blanking, they returned to their senses, hurriedly greeting. In this moment, they were practically brimming with warm tears of joy. Inviting the new emperor to ascend the throne was already this difficult. The days in the future……….practically didn’t dare to imagine.

Ruan Rui Zhong was just about read the imperial decree, but Li Hong Yuan waved his hand, “Forget it.” This thing, how it came about, everyone was all well aware inside. Even if for formality’s sake, Li Hong Yuan still wasn’t interested in hearing. Right now, he had the final say in everything. He was originally just willful and wanton, without anything holding him back, without misgivings……….

Li Hong Yuan didn’t stop his feet, continuing to walk outwards. The people in the back hurriedly parted like the tides, and the people originally at the very front hurriedly followed after his steps.

“Prepare the carriage, welcoming the new emperor into the palace——”

Li Hong Yuan glanced at the imperial carriage before him, clearly something that his old man had used, “Switch it, have the things he used all swapped out.”

Afterwards, he used his own qinwang procession to enter the palace.

For the ones that didn’t know, they would even praise Jin Qinwang for abiding by the etiquette, not using the imperial carriage before ascending the throne, but for the ones that knew…….they could only rush to carry out his orders, not daring to comment a single word.

Their speed in entering the palace wasn’t that quick. There were still a bunch of old ministers following after him outside. No matter how Li Hong Yuan was, he still wouldn’t be as crazy as to make them run after him.

At present, the most crucial matter was naturally the new emperor’s ascension. The dates have already been calculated.

However, before even waiting for them to have the dates reported up, Li Hong Yuan once again interrupted them, “Set it on the second of the second lunar month, and have the empress’s coronation ceremony carried out on the same day.”

“Your Majesty, this……..” The time was a bit too tight, and moreover, even need to confer the empress. Wasn’t this just trying to tire them to death? Moreover, the congratulatory gifts from the various regions, the ones slightly farther away, all won’t be able to enter the capital in time. With each and every one all racing the clock, afraid there will be another pile of matters.

“What, is there a problem?” Li Hong Yuan casually asked back.

The person that spoke quivered, “Replying to your Majesty, no.”

“If there’s not, then cut the useless talk.” Li Hong Yuan’s tone was still normal, but it kept making people feel that he was annoyed.

As for the other matters, Li Hong Yuan also didn’t wait for them to report one by one, just having the arrangements all instructed. For instance, the arrangements for the members of the imperial harem. Although Le Cheng Emperor was still alive, but since he was already paralyzed on the bed, the consorts’ existence just wasn’t necessary, thus they were handled according to the rule in regards to the ‘husband dying’. As for the ones whose status was relatively important and special, the empress got abolished, noble consort got demoted, xian consort similarly got demoted and need to wait upon Le Cheng Emperor, and once Le Cheng Emperor dies, she will need to be buried with him. As for shu consort, she was conferred into the consort dowager.

Of course, these things, Li Hong Yuan just need to give the order. How it will be handled afterwards, he all won’t involve himself. However, if it’s not handled well, there will certainly be people that will suffer a calamity.

After that, it was just the matters regarding Li Hong Yi and Li Hong Ming’s punishment. These two people, Li Hong Yuan actually didn’t plan on taking their life, just directly reducing them to commoners and imprisoning for life. As for the remaining people, the ones that should be killed all killed, the ones that should be demoted all demoted, the ones that should be exiled all exiled, and the residences that needed to be seized all seized. All in all, it was just ‘in accordance with the law’. However, it was also followed by ‘without pardon’.

The people outside all exclaimed the emperor was wise.

Originally, according to his stance previously during the rebellion, they were actually already prepared for a bloody storm. They never thought that he would actually be this benevolent, very much surprised. However, it also let their suspended heart slightly inch back to its original position a little. It was much better than expected. Perhaps it should be considered a pretty good start.

Additionally, it was just those unmarried younger brothers and sisters of his. A princess manor was established outside the palace, equally raising and educating the unmarried princesses. When they come of age, they will all be married off, not separately establishing their own princess manor. The law in regards to the fuma not being allowed to enter officialdom was also abolished. As for his remaining younger brothers, they were all conferred into wangs, but it was also just a title. The actual treatment and privileges less than a tenth of a qinwang’s originally.

That being the case, if they want the status and power to match their title, then they will just need to work for it, striving for it on their own. In other words, Li Hong Yuan won’t suppress them. If they have the ability, then just step forward. Actual power and wealth, he can all give.

These just truly broke the rules established by the ancestors.

“Your Majesty, absolutely cannot……..”

“Shut up, didn’t ask for your opinion, you all just need to act accordingly.”

Upon hearing, the remaining words could only be forcibly swallowed back down. This one right now was completely different from that previous one. Deciding matters on his own without consultation can already be foreseen. The court officials that have already faced him before were the most clear inside. That’s why, they all just pretended to be mute, letting others go be the cannon fodder.
