Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Besides, he was the one who was sorry for her. He had promised to stay away from the court, but he didn’t do it in the end. His first crime was that he couldn’t be with her at such a critical moment. What’s more, he couldn’t even spare the time to go to Liangzhou to pick her up. His second crime was that.

If it wasn’t done, it wasn’t done. No matter what the cause was, the result was like this. Ye Shuo was not the kind of person who liked to make excuses for himself.

If Yao Zhiruo doesn’t come back now, she will definitely not be able to come back when she reaches the late stage of pregnancy. Then she will have to give birth and go through the confinement period. She won’t have to breastfeed, and she can find a wet nurse at that time, but the child will have to be at least one year old before she comes back.

It takes about half a month to travel from Liangzhou to the capital by horse, and even longer by carriage. Although Zou Wu and his team have improved the shock absorption system of the carriage, it is still impossible to completely eliminate the sense of vibration. Babies have soft bones, especially their skulls and brains, which are extremely fragile. If you want to take them out, they must be at least one year old.

Oh my God, Dingning won’t disown me as his father by then, right?

Thinking of this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but feel sad.

But no matter how sad it is, we still have to do our work.

After Ye Shuo calmed down, he found that the several pieces of letter paper in his hand were almost crushed by him. He hurriedly folded the letter papers, put them back into the envelope and put them in his arms. When Ye Shuo stood up, he found that his legs had become numb from squatting.

Then, Ye Shuo saw that the little emperor suddenly became obedient, and went to the activities obediently without his urging.

Ye Shuo looked at his figure, confused.

Oh my God, the sun is rising from the west!

“What… is wrong with you?” Ye Shuo asked tentatively. When he saw the little emperor stiffen, he immediately understood that something must have happened.

The little emperor had no choice but to speak out what was in his heart.

“Ninth Uncle, if Father hadn’t forced you to stay, you wouldn’t be separated from Auntie now.”

“That’s right.”

The little emperor initially thought that he would comfort him, but he didn’t expect him to say such a thing. This reminded him of when he asked him which nephew he liked more…

He was just as ruthless back then.

Although it is ruthless, it is not annoying.

“So, let’s work hard together. When you turn 18, I, your uncle, can take a break.” Ye Shuo couldn’t help but reach out and pat his nephew’s shoulder.

The little emperor was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: “…Okay.”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been going out more recently and having more time to play, and my childish nature hasn’t completely subsided, so I’m not as picky as before. ʀÀNƟᛒÊＳ

All in all, everything is moving in the right direction.

“What are you still standing there for? It’s time for radio gymnastics, why don’t you get moving?”

The little emperor was somewhat happy at first, but his expression suddenly fell when he heard this.

This gymnastics is really indecent when doing it, with bending over, sticking out the buttocks, and shaking and raising hands. The little emperor simply couldn’t bring himself to do it at first, but he had no choice but to be forced by Ye Shuo, so he had to do it even if he didn’t want to.

Fortunately, he had the Ninth Prince Uncle to accompany him. Even though he was an adult, he was not shy at all. He did some radio gymnastics while shouting the beat.

“One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four. Four, two, three, four…”

When Mrs. He arrived, she heard such sounds coming from the courtyard outside Chengming Palace from a distance.

Through the gap in the palace gate, one could see the Regent doing morning exercises seriously. As for his son, he had a sad face, as if he was enduring great torture.

Since the Regent came, Jin’er has become much more lively than before. Empress Dowager He remembered that her son complained to her a few days ago, saying that the Regent was too strict with him. In the past, the child kept everything in his heart and never said much. Now he finally behaves like a child, which is what Empress Dowager He wanted most. How could she help him?

Naturally, the little emperor returned empty-handed in the end.

Prime Minister He and Empress Dowager He now have complicated feelings towards the Regent. On the one hand, they know that this so-called Regent was specially set up by Emperor Taicheng for them to restrain them. On the other hand, they also know that only if the little emperor is alive and well will there be things that happen later. Therefore, they all maintain a tacit attitude towards Ye Shuo’s actions.

In the end, Wei Wen was unable to escape the clutches of his little cousin and was dragged over by Ye Shuo to serve as a soldier.

To ensure fairness, the memorials submitted by the subordinates cannot be sent directly to the prime minister’s residence. If so, what kind of speech would that be? We should review them together.

I didn’t expect the Regent to say it so directly, which made it impossible for Prime Minister He to refuse. After all, the Ye royal family were watching them.

He can watch it if he wants, he can’t understand it anyway. This is what He Xiang thought.

It’s not that Ye Shuo really couldn’t understand it, he was just too lazy to read it, so he waited for He Xiang to finish reviewing it before giving it to Wei Wen and Xing Yucheng to review. If there were any loopholes, they would discuss it together. If there were no loopholes, it would be considered passed.

When Xing Yucheng touched the memorial for the first time, he was almost frightened to death. Although Wei Wen was a little better, he could only barely remain calm.

How can ordinary people touch this thing! My little cousin must be crazy.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo not only didn’t take it seriously, but instead added fuel to the fire: “Work hard, if you do well, the emperor might even give you a promotion.”

Promotion? ? It would be great if His Majesty didn’t want their lives when he grows up.

This action made the little emperor who was in class next to him very jealous.

After all, he was an emperor, so how could he not have some ambitions? But he was still young, and it was far from the time for him to be exposed to these things.

Just when the little emperor was feeling extremely disappointed, he suddenly heard a slight sound and a memorial paper fell right in front of him.

It turned out that Ye Shuo, who was standing next to him, had put it on his desk.  

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, then opened it tentatively.

Prime Minister He and Lord Cen could not help but frown when they saw this. They were about to say something when Ye Shuo said, “It’s not a big deal. Your Majesty will have to participate in politics sooner or later. It would be a good thing to ask Your Majesty to have more contact with it from now on.”

Although his little nephew is young, he is extremely precocious. Ye Shuo believes that he will not do anything out of line.

Sure enough, the little emperor just took a look and didn’t express any opinion, so Prime Minister He had no reason to say anything.

After everyone left, he secretly asked Ye Shuo why he did that.

Ye Shuo was quite good at giving lectures to children, but Wei Wen and Xing Yucheng were both there, so why would he be needed?

Noticing the gaze of their little cousin/his highness, Wei Wen and Xing Yucheng could only bite the bullet and stand up to answer the little emperor’s questions.

Xing Yucheng was still far inferior to Wei Wen. He was well-educated, but had little experience. Wei Wen, on the other hand, was able to explain things in simple terms and in a clear and thorough manner to the young emperor.

“Ninth uncle, what do you think about me asking Wei Qing to be my teacher?” Not an ordinary teacher, but a teacher of the emperor, just like the third uncle and the grand tutor in the past.

Ye Shuo nodded hurriedly after hearing this: “Okay, no problem, it just saves me some trouble.”

The little emperor felt that he could not really rely on his uncle in this regard.

There was no way, the little emperor could only think independently.

He remembered that his father had said before his death that the so-called art of checks and balances also meant checking each other. So his great-grandfather was the head of the civil officials, and the old Duke Zhen, who had now retired and returned to his hometown, was the head of the military officials. So were these two people considered checks and balances?

The little emperor lay on the bed thinking about it, but he was really unsure. As if seeing his troubles, Ye Shuo below couldn’t help but say, “Why not ask your mother?”

Although she knew that her son was always intelligent, Empress Dowager He was still troubled when she heard him ask this question.

If the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of War were to be the teacher of his son, his grandfather’s influence in the court would certainly not be as great as it is now.

But in the end, under the gaze of the little emperor, Empress He nodded: “…Yes, it is a check and balance.”

In fact, think about it, no matter how powerful the He family is, what can it do? They can’t really change the dynasty. Since they can’t change the world, the prosperity of the He family will eventually depend on the emperor’s wishes.

With the identity of being the emperor’s maternal family, as long as the He family does not make any big mistakes and the family members are more motivated, no family will be able to surpass the He family.

“Jin’er is only ten years old and he can think of these things. Jin’er is really amazing.” This is a mother’s praise and earnest expectation for her child.

The little emperor was naturally very happy to get the answer from his mother. When the mother and son were having dinner together, the little emperor said a few more words.

“In the past, my mother only talked to my great-grandfather, and never told me about the royal family. I thought she liked my great-grandfather more.” The little emperor was still young, and he didn’t express himself very clearly. Subconsciously, he was thinking about whether he liked or disliked someone, rather than whether he valued or not.

How could Empress Dowager He not understand what the little emperor did not understand?

Empress Dowager He was stunned and then broke into a cold sweat. Only after the little emperor left did Empress Dowager He come to her senses.

From obeying the family’s order to marry the Sixth Prince to now, perhaps my thoughts are really too much towards the He family.

Fortunately, it is not too late now. If Jin’er is older and he finds out, then…

Empress Dowager He suddenly understood something.

As the days passed, the little emperor’s condition gradually stabilised. Although Ye Shuo still could not leave Shangjing, he had no problem entering and leaving the palace.

Anyway, Wei Wen and He Xiang were taking care of him in the palace. In the afternoon, Ye Shuo could finally go out for some fresh air, go back to the mansion to soak in the hot springs, change into clean clothes, etc.

There was nothing for Ye Shuo to worry about. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was the little emperor’s health.

Ye Shuo’s only goal is to take good care of the little emperor’s health, and the rest of the problems can be solved by others.

The eldest prince beside him couldn’t help but laugh at what he said, “You really are addicted to being a wet nurse.”

Ye Shuo couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him.

“What else? Whether my brother can live a comfortable life in the future depends entirely on Jin’er.” Seven years and five months, now there are only seven years and five months left.

Several months have passed since the new emperor ascended the throne. Calculating the time, it will soon be the day for my daughter to be born. I don’t know how Ah Zhi is doing, and whether Ding Ning is well behaved.

God bless, I hope everything goes well!

Being nervous, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but talk a little. The eldest prince beside him couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “She’s just a girl, not a son. Why do you care?”

Then, he saw his always smiling brother staring at him with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

But who is the eldest prince? Of course, it is impossible to take back what has been said.

Half an incense stick later, Ye Shuo started fighting with the lame eldest prince.

“…Fuck! She is just a worthless girl. Was there anything wrong with what I said?” The eldest prince returned to the mansion, rubbing the dark circles under his eyes, and was indignant.

“I am his elder brother!”

Princess Ding wanted to ask at first, but when she heard these words, her expression suddenly darkened.

After putting away the medicine bottle, she turned around and left, leaving the eldest prince alone for a long time without anyone coming to give him medicine.

Perhaps because his health improved and the pain was not so severe, his mood also became much more cheerful, and gradually, the little emperor got used to this kind of life.

Although he couldn’t help but compete with the Ninth Uncle, but after careful consideration, the little emperor felt that it was pretty good to grow up like this.

He had someone who cared for him and loved him, someone to play with him and someone to read with him. He was very happy playing and fighting every day. He had never had such a life before. As time went on, the little emperor inevitably developed a greedy heart.
