Chapter 297: Second Rework: The Princess of the Lost Country 2
Yuyan knew that what she said was not only against moral principles, but could even be considered treason in the feudal era.
But the Yu Kingdom is too weak now. Not only the Huns, but also other small countries around it have been ready to make moves against it, wanting to annex it and expand their own territory and strength.
The Jade Emperor is a well-known benevolent emperor. How benevolent is he? He is the kind of emperor who, when attacked by another country, still worries about the heavy casualties of the other country's soldiers.
Yu Yan has lamented more than once that it is a miracle that he could hold on to the Yu Kingdom for so long.
It is a good thing for a king to have a benevolent heart, but in this world where you will be swallowed up if you are weak, this king is undoubtedly a failure, because he is destined to fail to protect his people and territory.
The original owner's mission did not allow her to complete it so slowly, otherwise she would have to do it until she died of old age.
Yuyan had already prepared herself to be scolded by the Jade Emperor and to have saliva sprayed on her face, but she didn't expect that the Jade Emperor just looked at her quietly for a moment, and then said with satisfaction.
"My son is indeed a man who has been enlightened by the immortals. He is full of courage and is a perfect material for being an emperor."
"But Erchen is blind..."
"That's not important." The Jade Emperor looked nonchalant, patted Yu Yan's shoulder encouragingly, and continued, "My son, have you thought of an auspicious day to pass on the throne?"
"........."
Yuyan's cold face almost cracked. Are you so open-minded and easy to talk to?
I told you I wanted to be an empress, and you didn't object at all, nor did you scold me. Instead, you happily agreed?
Just when Yu Yan was confused, a shocking roar from Prince Yu Chang suddenly came from the side.
Yes, this is the right reaction!
Yuyan turned around with some relief, waiting for Yuchang to start losing his temper.
Quick, rebuke her loudly, quickly, criticize her for her treason, disrespect for elders, and rebellion, she deserves to be put to death.
But...she didn't wait for any of that.
Yu Chang, who was originally standing beside her, now held a booklet in his hand. He ran to the Jade Emperor excitedly and spoke with an unprecedented excitement.
"Father, Father, January 22nd and 29th are both auspicious days for passing on the throne. Which day do you think is appropriate?"
Yuyan: ………
"The 22nd is three days later. Isn't it a bit too hasty? We won't have enough time to prepare the ceremony and the dragon robe carefully..." The Jade Emperor picked up the book in his hand and said with some distress while reading it.
Yuyan was confused by the two people's unconventional behavior.
She looked at Yu Chang, whose excitement was beyond words, and became more and more confused.
"Brother Imperial, you..."
Yu Chang looked up at her, his face full of satisfaction and affirmation, and encouraged her.
"Chaoyang! I support you. I will entrust the Jade Kingdom to you from now on. I believe you can make the Jade Kingdom better."
He ignored her and continued to discuss an auspicious day with the Jade Emperor.
"Father, that's not important. Doesn't Chaoyang have princess clothing? Pick a bright red one and make some minor changes. Have the embroiderer embroider a dragon on it overnight as a last resort. We need to do our business first."
"...That's fine too. Then let's set the date of the succession to be three days later!"
Yu Yan looked at the two people in front of her discussing an auspicious day and all matters related to the succession of the throne. She felt like a failure. She didn't feel any sense of accomplishment from forcing the emperor to abdicate.
It's really hard for me to do this with your active cooperation. It makes me look like a fool jumping on a pirate ship.
Yuyan took one last look at the father and son who were excitedly discussing matters, sighed secretly, and walked out of the hall dejectedly.
"Go away!" She ordered General Wu, who was ready to launch a massive attack to force the emperor to abdicate, to come outside the palace.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"........."
You... you changed your words really quickly! Your ability to accept things is really extraordinary!
It seems that the ruler and his subjects of the Jade Kingdom are of one mind, and this is fully demonstrated at this moment!
Three days later, Yuyan successfully ascended the throne as the Queen of Jade Kingdom.
After becoming the queen of Jade Kingdom, she began to make drastic changes in Jade Kingdom.
The first step is to strengthen the military strength of the Jade Kingdom.
Yu State was a small country with insufficient military strength, only 20,000 soldiers.
After the soldiers had been trained for a month, Yuyan selected another hundred people from ten thousand people, intensively trained them again, and let these people form an invincible army.
In the future, they will become the sharp swords in her hands, clearing away all the dangers surrounding the Jade Kingdom for her.
Because of the annihilation of the Xiongnu by the Yu Kingdom, the surrounding countries have some complaints about the Yu Kingdom. They think that the Yu Kingdom is beginning to strengthen itself and expand its power, so the other small countries around it gradually have a sense of crisis.
Yuyan didn't know about those things and didn't care. As long as she was strong enough, others could only complain about her in secret but couldn't do anything to her.
She never expected that the people who made her most sick were her own family members.
One day, when Yu Yan had worked hard to develop the gambling stone industry in Yu Kingdom and finally filled Yu Kingdom's empty treasury with mountains of gold, she excitedly went to find Yu Long and his son to drink and show off.
When they arrived, the two were plotting something. When they heard the palace maid's announcement, they immediately sat up straight, acting as if nothing had happened.
After the three of them were drinking happily, Yu Chang took the opportunity to ask her.
"Chaoyang, you are the empress now, don't you have to hurry up and find an imperial husband? Hurry up and find some time to expand our Jade Kingdom!"
“…………”Yuyan, who was urged to get married and have a baby for the first time, was speechless.
Seeing that Yu Yan was unmoved, the Jade Emperor began to persuade her.
"Yes, Chaoyang! In order to stabilize the court, we must quickly appoint an imperial husband, which will be beneficial to the stability of the country."
"........."
She was wrong. She shouldn't have come to see these two. Even if she drank alone facing the moon, even if she enjoyed the wind, rain and eunuchs, it was better than staying with these two.
When the father and son had already begun discussing which young talent in the court would be the emperor's husband, Yuyan took a bottle of wine from the table and sneaked away.
It’s better to go and see the lonely smoke rising in the desert and enjoy the setting sun over the long river!
Oh, she forgot that she is blind. No matter how sensitive her five senses are, she can’t hear the sound of the sunset!
What a terrible day!
A few days later, the already anxious neighboring countries received a new piece of news. The new Queen of Jade Kingdom discovered an iron mine within the territory of Jade Kingdom while traveling.
Now the surrounding countries could no longer sit still, and began to attack the Yu Kingdom with all kinds of excuses, wanting to encroach on the Yu Kingdom and take over the iron mine for themselves.
Yuyan sighed in her heart when she received the news that the Song army was at the gate of the city.
The original owner only wanted to protect her homeland and never thought of invading other people's countries. But if others insisted on giving her territory, there was no reason for her to refuse!
And to be honest, although Yuguo ranked first on the original owner's task list, it was at most a sideline.
