After the Emperor's funeral, he was buried in the Spirit Mountain Royal Tomb. He just did not know if he had the face to see his royal father, the person he killed!

On the eighth day of the sixth month, Song Yunqian ascended the throne.

The first thing Jia Ping did after he ascended the throne was to thoroughly investigate the murderer of late emperor.

He personally interrogated the guards at Zevi Palace and the palace maid that day. The guards said that when they rushed in, they saw the emperor lying in a pool of blood, and at that time, only the Eunuch Wei and the dead Eunuch Wei remained.

palace maid said that at that time, a man came to the palace and closed the door after he entered. Only after he came out did the guards rush in, which also meant that the Noble Consort was not the only one in the palace at that time, and when the guards rushed in, the palace maid also followed behind them. At that time, the Noble Consort was already unconscious, so there was a high possibility that someone had placed a dagger in his hands. Later on, Zhong Zheng who was by the side of the Emperor confirmed that the nine kings had indeed entered the inner hall. At that time, Zhong Zheng was in charge of waiting outside the hall, and the Emperor did not order for him to enter, he only ordered him to wait at the corridor. When he saw the Ninth King leave, his clothes seemed to be stained with blood. Just as he was puzzled and wanted to check inside, the guards had already rushed in.

According to the confessions of everyone present and the inference of the royal doctors, Noble Consort was severely injured at that time. Not to mention injuring her, judging from her injuries, even if she moved slightly, her wounds would still open up. Furthermore, the Emperor is a martial artist, so the Noble Consort does not have the ability to assassinate the Emperor.

Later on, two of the imperial bodyguards repeated their testimony, saying that the Ninth King had indeed entered the inner hall at that time. After he left, his hands were indeed stained with blood.

Therefore, the Nine Kings were the suspects in killing late emperor. Only by arresting the Nine Kings as soon as possible and interrogating them would they know the truth.

After the wanted posters were issued, regardless of whether it was the commoners, the officials, or the martial artists, they were all tracking down the whereabouts of the nine kings.

There were many unreasonable aspects to this case, and there were also court officials who questioned it. However, Song Yunqian had already ascended the throne and become emperor. Since he had already opened his golden mouth, even if there were questions, he wouldn't dare to raise them. Besides, they only suspected that there was no proof. Who would dare to challenge the might of the heavens?

The Empress was conferred the title of Empress Dowager of Vatican and moved to Shining Palace. Imperial Concubine Rong was conferred the title of Consort Dowager Rong and she lived at the same place as Empress Dowager Cen. The Imperial Concubine Ling was conferred the title of Consort Dowager Ling and was given to stay in the Bright Moon Palace. The official imperial concubine was conferred the title of the official imperial concubine and lived in the Palace of Light!

The Prince Zhenyuan was conferred the title of Prince Zhenguo, along with the title of First Class Duke and the title of General of the Kingdom.

The left and right sides were still Li Xiang and Xiao Xiang, Li Xun had been bestowed the title of Minister of War. Zhu Fangyuan was still the commander of the Yuelin Army s in the palace. This was his own intention, but when he said that Wen Yi had been in the palace for a day, he did not feel at ease. Even though he did not have much power, he still wished to stay by her side. Even though these words made Song Yunqian uncomfortable, after going through so much, he knew that Zhu Fangyuan did not have any ulterior motives towards Wen Yi, so he allowed him to ask for it!

Because of the Marquis of Jingguo, Yang Luofan had also entered the palace, but she was still conferred the title of Imperial Concubine Rou and stayed in the Floating Silk Palace. However, no one took it seriously when they entered the palace without any favors, even when they were bestowed the title of Imperial Concubine Rou. No matter what, he was Song Yunqian's only concubine now.

Wen Yi was still living in the Zevi Palace, but she said that she was already used to staying in the Zevi Palace, so she did not want to change. Since she insisted on it, Song Yunqian could only give up.

Only, Wen Yi had not been bestowed the title of Grand Imperial Concubine for a long time. The court officials had already expressed their disagreement, and all the scholars requested that the Noble Consort be conferred with the title of Imperial Consort as soon as possible.

He didn't want to make Wen Yi the imperial concubine, he wanted Wen Yi to be his queen.

Only, he knew that he couldn't bring this matter up onto the stage yet. He had to once again send Wen Yi out of the palace, and then arrange for a new identity for her to formally marry Wen Yi into the palace.

There were more than a dozen princes under the name of late emperor, but none of them were his biological sons. In any case, Song Yunqian ordered all of the princes to be dukes, and had them recognize each other as their ancestors, biological fathers, and their lineages to be passed on. This could also be considered as having an explanation for their brothers in the underworld.

This move greatly moved the courtiers and officials, and also touched those princes in the remote borders. They all entered the capital to express their gratitude.

Due to the fact that Song Yunqian personally went out to battle and reached peace with Nanke, the Emperor of Nanke ordered his envoys to come and congratulate the new Emperor on his accession to the throne. As long as Wen Yi was alone in her life, the imperial harem would not accept any other concubines.

The Southern Champion Emperor was extremely displeased at this. After all, this matter of voluntarily proposing a compromise to be rejected was something he had absolutely no face for in terms of diplomacy. However, the strength of the country was lacking and it was a country after the war. Even though it was angry, it did not dare to invade. After all, it had signed a peace agreement.

Song Yunqian had just ascended the throne, there was still no general election, and there was only one Imperial Concubine Rou in the palace, so he should choose a concubine to enrich his secret chamber. This time, the Southern Champion Emperor took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance, which was a gesture of friendship, and Song Yunqian should not reject.

However, Song Yunqian's attitude was extremely resolute, and did not waver in the slightest. He rebuked the scholars above court.

Wen Yi also found out about the matter when it spread to the imperial harem. Wen Yi knew Song Yunqian's thoughts. As a woman, she was very moved, and knew that with her position, she should not have said anything. If she were to persuade him to marry her, he would only have himself in his heart.

Previously, he had thought that as long as he ascended to the throne and held the power, then there would be no need for him to be manipulated anymore. But now, it seemed that there would be a time when he would have no other choice even if he ascended to the throne.

Song Yunqian would accompany Wen Yi to eat everyday. There were a few famous chefs in the small kitchen of the Zevi Palace, and Song Yunqian liked eating small dishes in the south. Every day, Wen Yi would order people to prepare a dish that Song Yunqian liked to eat, drink a little wine with him, and talk about daily matters.

However, Song Yunqian never talked about matters of the imperial court.

He had ascended the throne not long ago and looked like a hundred officials returning to their work. However, he also knew that many people were humble on the surface and had a lot of complaints behind their backs. And from the very beginning, he didn't want Wen Yi to interfere in matters of the court because once Wen Yi was involved with matters of the court, he would hear some rumors that weren't good for her. Until now, he was the ruler of the world. The only thing he could do for her was to use his own methods to protect her.

Imperial study, macrosoman Sikong wrote to request for Song Yunqian to bestow the title of imperial concubine to Noble Consort. It was common knowledge that Song Yunqian had not confirmed his identity for a long time. Master Sima could not be considered to be someone with ill intentions. On the contrary, he was an extremely straightforward and old-fashioned person, and he supported Song Yunqian, precisely because of that, he could not allow Song Yunqian to take the risk and marry his father's wife the moment he ascended the throne. If this were to spread out, it would affect Song Yunqian's reputation and damage the reputation of the Liang.

Initially, he had wanted to cover this matter up lightly in the Imperial study, but since ancient times, the Lord Sikong had forced one another to do so bitterly. From the ancient times until now, this had been done according to the customs and from the politics themselves, he hoped that Song Yunqian would personally send an envoy to the Southern Champion Kingdom to propose marriage, which would give the Southern Champion Emperor a way out.

Song Yunqian could still speak nicely in the beginning, but Lord Sikong's tone became even worse, and he even talked about Wen Yi killing the monarch. Song Yunqian had already given the order a long time ago to not allow anyone to bring up this matter again, but Lord Sikong had made contact with his reverse scale time and time again, causing him to lose his temper immediately, and ordered people to beat up the top ten Lord Sikong s. He immediately scolded: "Since ancient times, beauties have wreaked havoc, the Emperor is a saint and an enlightened lord, he should not be trapped by women. If the Noble Consort was a sensible person, she should have left the palace early to cultivate as she knew that the Emperor would not make any mistakes. The late emperor was bewitched by her when she was still alive, so she was chosen as the Noble Consort for no reason. This has already caused many court officials to criticize her, and now, the Emperor has even helped the Noble Consort to propose a marriage alliance with the Southern Champion, hurting Liang and the relationship between the two, it can be seen that the lady surnamed Wen is truly a disaster! "

He was an old official, someone of great virtue and prestige. The two Masters were extremely respectful to him, and now, he had been ordered by the new emperor to hit the top ten boards. Although it wasn't a successful fight, it hurt his pride, and it hurt his heart.

Song Yunqian was furious, he immediately slammed the table and was about to remove Lord Sikong from his position, but luckily Esteemed Empress Dowager came in time and advised Song Yunqian. It was just that Lord Sikong was already so angry that he almost knocked himself out into a pillar and the empress dowager was so anxious that she almost knelt down and begged him. Lord Sikong let out a loud cry, shouting that Liang was going to die because of Wen Yi.

This farce had naturally spread to Wen Yi's ears, so when Song Yunqian came over to eat that night, he told him the story of Wei Zheng and Tang Taizong. In the end, she said: "The pillars of the country, should have the guts to speak out and warn them, if you punish Lord Sikong because of this, it will make the officials feel disheartened, furthermore, the Lord Sikong has been an official for many years, with many disciples, there are many important officials amongst them, and today you are going to make things difficult for him, and in the future, I'm afraid it will become even worse for him."

Song Yunqian remained silent as he raised his head to look at Wen Yi's face. Back then, Wen Yi had entered the palace to save him. After knowing him, how many grievances had she suffered and how many sufferings had she suffered? How much scolding had she endured? But she never said a word in front of him, not even a word of complaint.

He felt that whatever he said was superfluous. Right now, he was dominating the world, obtaining everything the world wanted. However, the only thing he wanted was to be right in front of him.

To use the old saying, without her, what would be the point even if he obtained mountains and rivers?

Sitting on the court, he felt so empty and his heart was so pale. Only when facing her did he feel at ease.

In the end, he said with a smile, "Don't worry, I can handle it!"

How could Wen Yi not be worried? He was only at the peak, and her foundations were not stable yet. The matter of Fang Gang pushing the Southern Champion and marriage had already caused criticism, and now that she had an argument with the Lord Sikong, it was possible that she would suffer even more criticism if word of it spread tomorrow.
