Chapter 1302 What Have You Done So Early?

After dinner, Emperor Wen specially summoned Empress Xu to accompany him for a walk.

Emperor Wen's health has improved a lot this year, but Empress Xu still habitually supports Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen chatted with Empress Xu in a few words, but he looked like he was worried about something.

"Is the Lord worried?"

Empress Xu asked softly.

"Ugh……"

Emperor Wen sighed softly but said nothing more.

Empress Xu smiled gently, "Your Majesty, if you have any concerns, please tell me, don't keep it to yourself."

"never mind!"

Emperor Wen shook his head gently and patted Empress Xu's hand, "Just accompany me to relax..."

The less Emperor Wen said, the more Empress Xu wanted to know.

It would be best to find out what Emperor Wen is worried about. If there is any possibility that it will be disadvantageous to them, they should make plans early.

"Your Majesty, please talk to me."

Empress Xu said worriedly, "I am incompetent and cannot share your worries, but I am willing to listen to your words. If you talk about some things, you may feel better..."

Emperor Wen was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"When I took a nap this afternoon, I dreamed of the late emperor. The late emperor rebuked me for my incompetence and for putting Daqian in its current situation..."

Emperor Wen sighed as he spoke.

"So His Majesty is worried about this!"

Empress Xu suddenly realized and consoled him, "This dream and reality are opposite. The late emperor rebuked Your Majesty in the dream, but he was actually praising Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Shun also nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, stop comforting me."

Emperor Wen waved his hands and said, "I have made Daqian like this, what is there to praise? If the late emperor were still alive, I am afraid he would not allow me to enter the Taimiao in the future..."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Empress Xu comforted him again: "Now our Great Qian territory is far greater than that of previous dynasties, and your majesty's achievements are far greater than those of previous emperors..."

"What's the difference between territory and no territory?"

Emperor Wen shook his head, his face full of bitterness: "How much of this vast territory belongs to the court? The territory controlled by the rebellious son Lao Liu is several times that of the court. What achievements can I have to speak of?"

Emperor Wen looked worried and pointed to the pavilion in front of him.

Empress Xu quickly helped Emperor Wen towards the pavilion.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Emperor Wen still looked worried.

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Empress Xu knelt down slowly.

"What is the Queen doing? What crime have you committed? Get up quickly."

Emperor Wen quickly reached out to support Empress Xu, and Mu Shun also hurried to support her.

Empress Xu was helped up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I cannot agree with what you just said."

"That's it?"

Emperor Wen burst out laughing.

Empress Xu said sternly, "My achievements are also the achievements of my ruler. My achievements are also the achievements of my father."

"Old Six is the emperor's minister and son! His body and hair are all in the hands of the emperor. His contributions are naturally also the emperor's contributions!"

"Moreover, without the support and concessions of His Majesty and the imperial court, how could Daqian have the territory it has today?"

"Who in the world dares to say that His Majesty has not made contributions to expanding the territory?"

"Your Majesty is superior to all previous emperors in both civil and military affairs. Even if you were to perform the Fengshan ceremony at Jishan, you would be more than qualified..."

Empress Xu continued to comfort Emperor Wen.

Mu Shun didn't say anything, just nodded continuously.

As they were talking, Empress Xu noticed that there was something different in Emperor Wen's eyes.

"Am I qualified to perform the Fengshan ceremony at Jishan?"

Emperor Wen seemed to be muttering to himself, or as if he was questioning Empress Xu and Mu Shun.

Hearing Emperor Wen's words, Empress Xu's eyelids suddenly twitched.

No way?

Is it true that His Majesty has really thought of performing Fengshan?

Logically speaking, as long as Yun Zheng did not establish his own regime, his conquest of such a vast territory could indeed be considered the credit of Emperor Wen.

Based on the current territory of Daqian, Emperor Wen is absolutely qualified to perform Fengshan.

It was a normal thing for emperors of all dynasties to perform Fengshan rituals when the country was at its peak or the world was at peace.

But Emperor Wen's health had just improved, and he suddenly had to run such a long distance. I don't know if his body could handle it!

But Emperor Wen asked this question.

Moreover, she was the one who said these words of Fengshan.

She couldn't say that Emperor Wen was not qualified to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, right?

"Your Majesty is certainly qualified to offer sacrifices to the gods!"

Empress Xu said stubbornly, "If His Majesty is not qualified to perform Fengshan, then which emperor is qualified to perform Fengshan?"

"Your Majesty the Queen is absolutely right."

Mu Shun immediately followed suit.

"Really?"

Emperor Wen's eyes flashed with a strange light, "If I can be enshrined in Jishan, I should have the face to see the late emperor in the afterlife, right?"

Mu Shun: "The late emperor would be proud of you!"

Emperor Wen remained silent for a long time.

Empress Xu secretly groaned in her heart and wished she could slap herself twice.

Why are you talking about Fengshan for no reason?

After a long time, Emperor Wen ordered Mu Shun: "Call the crown prince here immediately!"

Mu Shun did not dare to delay and hurried away at a trot.

When Mu Shun arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Yun Li was busy reviewing memorials.

Upon learning that Emperor Wen had summoned him, Yun Li immediately asked Mu Shun, "Eunuch Mu, did the Emperor summon me because he is worried about the situation in Zhenhe and Li?"

"Probably not."

Mu Shun shook his head and whispered, "This old servant thinks that His Majesty might have the intention to perform Fengshan rituals!"

Feng...Fengshan?

Yun Li's heart twitched violently.

Jishan is in Muzhou!

My father’s health has just improved, can he withstand such hardship?

"Why would Father suddenly want to perform the Fengshan ritual?"

Yun Li was furious. "Who is flattering and bewitching Father, regardless of his physical condition?"

"This……"

Mu Shun was slightly choked, and after a long while he said bitterly: "It was the Queen who proposed it..."

Is...is it the Queen Mother?

Yun Li's face twitched constantly.

He even wants to skin and pull out the tendons of the flatterer!

So, this person is his mother?

What should he say?

"no……"

Yun Li was very upset. "Why would my mother bring up the matter of Fengshan for no reason? Doesn't she know that my father has just recovered from a serious illness?"

Mu Shun: "Your Majesty dreamed of the late emperor today and was in a bad mood, so he summoned the Empress to accompany His Majesty to relax."

"The queen was originally trying to comfort His Majesty, but then she started talking about the Fengshan ceremony."

"I dare not interrupt you, Your Majesty. I can only wink at you desperately, but...but you haven't seen it..."

Mu Shun said this with an anxious look on his face.

Yun Li listened and his blood pressure continued to soar.

What the hell is this!

Why mention Fengshan when there are so many other things to talk about!

Fengshan Jishan can be regarded as one of the highest honors for an emperor.

Which emperor could resist the temptation of Fengshan?

Especially the emperor in his later years.

Now that she mentioned this, how could the emperor not want to offer sacrifices to the gods?

In the past, he had the urge to curse.
