Free Web NovelChapter 213: Finale
"Fifth Prince, take action," Chu Xijin ordered.
The Fifth Prince was stunned, "You’re commanding me? I am..."
He didn’t finish his sentence.
Everyone stood behind Chu Xijin.
The Fifth Prince retreated, looking at him in horror.
Chu Xijin smiled gently, soothingly said, "Don’t panic, as long as you kill him, you can survive. If you don’t, then... you might as well be dead."
"You, you, you..."
This time it was the Fifth Prince who was stuttering.
"I’ll give you only a quarter of an hour’s chance. If after a quarter of an hour, he is still on the throne, then you will face death!" Chu Xijin said the harshest words in the gentlest tone.
The Emperor was incredulous.
"How dare you commit regicide!"
"Why not dare?" Chu Xijin met his gaze, the person he feared most when young was now nothing to him.
A quarter of an hour.
Not long, not short.
But everyone saw the Fifth Prince draw a sword and stab his own father.
Chu Xijin nodded in satisfaction, with a slight wave of his hand, he ordered the Fifth Prince to be captured.
"You clearly promised to spare me!"
"Naturally, imprisonment only."
Chu Xijin pursed his lips with a smile, like the warm sun in spring. Amidst the carnage, he seemed like a Buddha holding a flower, compassionate and serene, yet everyone dared not look directly, dared not overstep.
That night, a celestial dragon appeared in the sky, lasting the whole night.
Chu Xijin postponed the enthronement matters, but everyone knew the regime had changed.
That night.
The court’s senior officials were killed.
Mid-level and junior officials continued to work, and the Emperor granted amnesty to the whole empire.
Told the people, the regime has changed, there’s a new Emperor. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Chu Xijin alleviated disasters, organized the army.
In doing these things.
The situation played a major role.
Meanwhile, he began recruiting craftsmen, renovating buildings, arranging constructions, organizing trade, scouting enemy moves, constructing weapons, adjusting tax rates, implementing census policies, formulating national policies, opening exams, developing agriculture, crafting national regulations, boosting commercial value, advancing technology, and ensuring every citizen can read.
Mu Xijin inquired about his mother’s will, whether she was willing to become his mother with his aunt.
Xiao Shuhe refused to become the Empress Dowager.
She did not want her son to become a descendant of Daqi: "From now on, I am your godmother!"
Mu Xijin was stunned.
Xiao Shuhe had made up her mind, knowing her son’s current success meant Mu Ran had put in much effort.
The sister had no children.
Thus, Xiao Jin is her child!!!
Meanwhile, she asked the historians to write him as a savior, portraying the former Emperor as strong and evil, while widely propagating the Fifth Prince’s viciousness.
Also writing his aunt and uncle as his caregivers, ensuring the world would forever remember them!
The people had not yet recovered.
Then received batch after batch of supplies, kneeling and proclaiming him as the true Son of Heaven!!!
Mu Xijin became busier, reforming the land system, building ships for maritime, developing cement, abolishing curfews for the upper circles, popularizing luxury items, making money move, nurturing successors, raising women’s status.
By the time he held the enthronement ceremony, much time had passed, bringing life back to Da Xiao.
Emperor of Da Xiao was Mu Xijin! frёewebηovel.cѳm
Mother’s surname was Mu.
Father’s surname was Xiao!
Throughout his life, Chu Xijin never married nor had children, but made his nation increasingly powerful.
And turned himself into a timeless Emperor.
A millennium later——
Online, a thread opened, questioning how many fans Mu Xijin had?
[Not too many, not too few, the whole Earth.]
[It’s a silly question, but I couldn’t resist coming back to answer. Who can’t be his fan, the only perfect person in history, I think!]
[Ahhhh, Mu Xijin is undoubtedly my favorite Emperor in the past thousands of years, diligent and motivated, loving his children and people, also the one who elevated the status of women to the highest level in history.]
[Mu Xijin did so much for us women, allowing us to read and write, encouraging more women to enter society, participating in the court, empowering women with more voice, and also providing greater security in marriage.
1. Adultery leads to immediate eviction.
2. Domestic violence is punishable.
3. Providing postpartum recovery for mothers.
4. Full-time mothers have social security.
5. Annual marriage evaluations; failing cancels marriage certificate.
6. Public kindergartens establish toddler care.
He said, a great woman doesn’t need children to highlight her greatness. Just these actions make me admire him to the fullest!!]
[I heard he had a great mother and father, always remembering them over the years. He said everything he did was to bless them, hoping they would live well in the next life, so whenever we commemorate sacrifices, we also include his parents, hoping they are joyous in reincarnation.]
[He also had a godmother, his mother’s good sister, but some say she was the former Emperor’s mother, though these claims lack historical evidence. We can only say, thanks to his arrival, we have today’s prosperous era!]
[For thousands of years always leading internationally, our country’s language has become globally universal!!! Chinese, the most amazing!! And driving this progress was Mu Xijin, he also trained successors, willingly passing the throne to others, thereby starting a meritocracy rather than a hereditary system, influencing many. It can be said our country is the most advanced in thought worldwide, also the most open and inclusive country, all thanks to Mu Xijin!!!!! So, who couldn’t love him?! No one!!!!]
...
Mu Ran read the online thread from his computer chair, speechless at the thought that Mu Xijin’s mother was Mu Ran, such a famous name; his parents even gave him such a name.
"Baby, let’s go eat," Xiao Yu’an called.
"Okay, my Emperor Your Majesty."
"Ha, Empress, please."
Mu Ran took his hand, playfully slapped him.
It’s said the former Emperor did many things for his parents’ blessings, hoping they lived happily.
Mu Ran sometimes wondered.
Could it be that he and the former Emperor’s parents were destined?
To live so blissfully.
