Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

But the most amazing thing is that although they were angry, they didn’t really hate him that much.

He has been like this since he was young, so what can I do? He is not only like this to me, he is also like this to my father.

Since Xiaojiu has said that he will not give in, then he will definitely not give in.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, the seventh prince was the first to compromise.

“I… agree.”

The fifth prince and the eighth prince looked at him in disbelief.

The Seventh Prince could not help but rub his brows. To be honest, he was tired after so many years and wanted to take a break. However, since he had chosen to take action in the first place, there was really no way to stop. Now that Emperor Taicheng is gone, it would be a good thing if this matter could be brought to a complete end.

After struggling for so long, the Seventh Prince finally realised that he might not be cut out for it, so he might as well retreat.

Ye Shuo was not afraid that they would lie to him. Firstly, these brothers always cared about their reputation. Secondly, if they really wanted to break the contract, he would not be able to stop them. It was better to be open and honest. After all, he was not in the wrong.

The Seventh Prince thought that he would pester him to sign or seal the agreement himself, but he didn’t.

Ye Shuo knew very well that some things should not be pushed too hard, otherwise it would be bad. After all, his brothers were legitimate princes.

A desperate dog will jump over the wall, let alone them.

The Seventh Prince was the first to leave. When he passed by Xiao Jiu, his lips moved. Ye Shuo heard him whisper, “I’m sorry…”

In the past, he was not targeting Xiaojiu, but the Sixth Prince. Xiaojiu was just a raft for them.

Ye Shuo did not deny it, and even replied: “It’s good that you know it.”

The Seventh Prince was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The Seventh Prince left smoothly, but the remaining Fifth and Eighth Princes were dumbfounded. They had never expected that the Seventh Prince would betray them so quickly. What should they do? ȐΝỘＢÈS

The Fifth Prince wanted to struggle, but he couldn’t.

“Alright, alright, I give in, alright?” The fifth prince said helplessly.

“But can we discuss this and cancel my three conditions?” Since there was no way to give their little prince a guarantee, could we change to other conditions? The fifth prince always remembered that he owed him those three conditions. He felt uncomfortable when he thought about them from time to time. It would be great if they could cancel them.

However, what the Fifth Prince did not expect was that he was unwilling to satisfy even such a small request.

Ye Shuo felt that there was really something wrong with the Fifth Prince. He had already admitted defeat, so why should he get involved?

“no.”

Ye Shuo’s straightforward attitude made the Fifth Prince grit his teeth. He wanted them to compromise but they were unwilling to pay even the slightest price. He really wanted them to retreat to the end, right?

“…You’re so cruel!”

Seeing this, Ye Shuo knew that he agreed, and then looked at the Eighth Prince who was still holding on.

The Fifth and Seventh Princes have surrendered, what can the Eighth Prince do alone? Besides, if things really don’t work out, there’s still the First Prince standing there. If you think about it carefully, it doesn’t matter whether he’s there or not.

“Okay, I know everything. I’ll be leaving now.”

The eighth prince was still struggling with his thoughts, but when he heard these words, he immediately raised his head.

“Wait, you only ask them, why don’t you ask me???”

Ye Shuo scratched his head: “Ah? You didn’t express your opinion for so long, I thought you didn’t agree.”

“Forget it, just assume that you don’t agree.”

What does “just assume he disagrees” mean? The Eighth Prince understood. He must have guessed that he had a grudge against him because of his elder brother’s matter and was worried that he would bear a grudge against him, so he simply found an opportunity to kill him legitimately to eliminate future troubles and gain the reputation of supporting the new emperor.

When did Xiaojiu become so sinister? !

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. The Eighth Prince hurriedly said, “Who said I disagree? I agree!”

I am the only one left and can’t do anything, so I must not give him an excuse to kill myself.

“Well… that’s fine.” Ye Shuo reluctantly accepted his surrender.

But what needs to be said still needs to be said.

“It’s not an ugly thing to say in advance. You made this promise voluntarily. If you want to go back on your word in the future, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Until Ye Shuo left, the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince were speechless for a long time.

When he returned to the palace, as expected, Ye Shuo saw little Ye Jin in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, kneeling in front of Xiao Ming’s coffin.

It was already dark at this time, and Ye Shuo did not hesitate and carried Ye Jin on his shoulders.

Caught off guard, Ye Jin was startled. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly said, “Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine, please put me down! I still need to keep vigil for my father!”

According to the rules, when the emperor passed away, Ye Jin, as the crown prince, needed to keep vigil for Emperor Taicheng for three days.

But Ye Jin’s physical condition is such that it would take him even three hours, let alone three days. He should not go with his father at that time.

Ye Shuo had given specific instructions before he left, but now it seems that it was of no use at all.

“Rules are dead, but people are alive. Since your father has entrusted you to me, you have to listen to me for the time being.” Ye Shuo didn’t care what others would say. The most important thing now was to save his nephew’s life.

Besides, there are no outsiders here at this time.

Ye Shuo looked around, and when the palace servants around him noticed his gaze, they all lowered their heads.

After putting several futons together, Ye Shuo put Ye Jin down and said, “From now on, sleep.”

The little prince was about to say something when Ye Shuo said, “You can either sleep by yourself or I can press your acupoints. You can choose one.”

The eunuchs around the prince couldn’t help but gasp when they heard this. This was a new emperor who was set in stone. How could this be so shameful!

Even Ye Jin couldn’t help but whisper back, “Uncle Nine, I am the prince now…” The most important thing is that he will be the emperor tomorrow. Can you please respect him?

Ye Shuo narrowed his eyes immediately.

Ye Jin quickly closed his eyes.

Empress He, who was standing by, was so happy that she couldn’t even wait to be happy. How could she not be happy?

It’s not that she doesn’t want to do this, but there are some things that the prince with the surname Ye can do, but she, a queen with a different surname, cannot do.

If she did it, not only her own reputation but also Jin’er’s reputation would be affected.

“Thank you…”  

Ye Shuo lifted up his robe, knelt down, and heard these two words.

“You are too kind, sister-in-law. Jin’er is my sixth brother’s only child and also my nephew.”

Queen He looked at the little beggar from that year, who had grown into a tall young man today. She couldn’t help but look dazed. So many years had passed in a flash.

As the queen, Empress He naturally knew what he had done when he left the palace. Empress He hesitated for a moment and asked, “What about the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince…”

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law. It has been resolved. They will definitely not cause trouble again during the coronation ceremony tomorrow.”

Emperor Taicheng passed away in a hurry, and the little prince was young and weak. He could not wait until the 27-day mourning period was over, so he had to be asked to take the position early. Ye Shuo discussed it with Prime Minister He and decided to push him up as quickly as possible.

Besides, the little prince’s body simply can’t hold on that long, so tomorrow’s coronation ceremony must be kept simple. It’s better to be hasty than to delay it for too long and cause trouble.

Hearing this, Empress He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief: “Good…”

She was about to thank him, but then she thought of what he had just said, so she changed her words: “Thank you for your hard work.”

Ye Shuo shook his head.

After all, He Xiang is the old prime minister, so there should be no problems on his side. The rest is Ye Shuo’s own business.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but sigh.

Empress He was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help asking, “But are there other things that haven’t been resolved?”

“…No.” Ye Shuo curled the corner of his mouth.

“I was just thinking that if Azhi knew, she would be angry. I told her when I came out that I would be back soon.”

Who would have thought that once they entered the imperial city, they would be tied up tightly in one breath.

After Emperor Taicheng passed away yesterday, Ye Shuo sent someone to deliver the news as quickly as possible. It was estimated that it would arrive in ten days or half a month.

Ye Shuo was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Yao Zhi would simply run away with the baby in her belly.

“I clearly promised her that I would stop being a prince and live a carefree life with her for the rest of my life…” Who knew that Xiao Ming would be so disappointing!

Ye Shuo didn’t care about it and just said it casually.

Empress He was a little stunned when she heard this. For a moment, she felt that the young man in front of her was as far away from them as if he was a world away.

What he said was simply incredible to them and was truly enviable.

He just gave up the throne, it’s really…

Perhaps only people who have everything can be so willful.

Queen He opened her mouth: “It should be… not?”

Ye Shuo sighed: “I hope so.”

Oh my God… No, Xiao Ming, please don’t do that! Please!!

The next morning, the princes and dukes of the royal family came one after another. Prince Su couldn’t help but ask when no one was paying attention: “Xiao Jiu, when did I, your uncle, tell you that you can kill your brothers?”

“Uh…it’s not important. Look, I’m my father’s favourite son, right? I must know my father best, right? I think my father must think so, isn’t that right?”

Prince Su: “…”

Bullshit!

If my brother knew that this kid was playing with his will, he would definitely –

Wait a minute, actually if you think about it carefully, it’s not necessarily true…

Everyone first paid tribute to Emperor Taicheng, and then came to the Xuanzheng Hall. At this time, all the civil and military officials had arrived.

After all, Ye Jin is only a ten-year-old child. It is inevitable that he is nervous when he encounters such a big scene.

But he couldn’t show it. He couldn’t appear weak, and he couldn’t let others laugh at him.

It’s not just a joke on himself, but also a joke on his father.

Emperor Taicheng had difficulty in having an heir, so naturally people below him were talking about it. Ye Jin could only do his best, better, and even better to silence the gossips of the world.

However, just when Ye Jin was nervous and didn’t know what to do, he saw Ye Shuo next to him gently holding his hand.

“Your Majesty, do not worry. I am here to clear all obstacles for you.”

“See that chair? All you have to do is sit on it.”

The young man’s voice was extremely deep and steady, totally unlike his previous nonchalant demeanour. Ye Jin inexplicably became calm.

Ye Shuo held his hand, walked across the white marble bridge, walked up the white marble steps, stepped over the threshold of the Xuan Zheng Hall, and entered the Xuan Zheng Hall.

Ye Shuo accompanied him all the way, and only at the end did he have to go up to the high imperial throne alone.

Then, what should I do next?

Ye Jin only remembered that when his father held the enthronement ceremony, as soon as he sat in this position, the voices of the ministers cheering for him were like a tsunami. Now that he has sat down, why are they still not moving?

What Ye Jin didn’t know was that this was the case with the young ruler.

Just when Ye Jin was in a dilemma, he saw Prince Rui, now the regent, take the first step, kneeling at the feet of the new emperor and submitting.

“Welcome our emperor to the throne. Long live the emperor.”

The situation is now a foregone conclusion and there is no other way.

Prince Su and Prince Jin sighed in their hearts, then knelt down as well.

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince behind him.

What can the fifth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince do? Kneel.

Then, there is the current Black Armor Guard Commander Li Yuheng, the Minister of War Wei Wen, the Minister of Works and the Junior Official of the Dali Temple Xing Yucheng…

Seeing that the teacher had knelt and acknowledged the identity of the new emperor, Zou Wu and others also took action.

Then, Ye Jin heard the sound of congratulations that was like a tsunami.

“Welcome our emperor to the throne. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor.”
