"Isn’t it unreliable?" Ye Zi’an strongly agreed with this point; back in the day, when he received that thing, he was stunned for a mont. Because normally, establishing the heir, appointing the new emperor, was the top priority of the court.
It required discussions among all the officials, the royal family clan, and finally the Emperor would decide and issue the decree.
However, the decree given to him was solely decided by the Grand Emperor himself. At that ti, the Grand Emperor said sothing like, "I will appoint whoever I want."
From the Grand Emperor’s words back then, Ye Zi’an knew that this person, despite his age, still had an uncertain temperant and might even change his mind later.
If he did regret it, Ye Zi’an, as the one aware and in charge of it, would undoubtedly face a terrible fate.
So although the Grand Emperor indeed ntioned that Ye Zi’an should bring the item out after his death, Ye Zi’an still had it published in advance, considering the entire Ye Family.
"By the way, when you ntioned this matter, I recalled that the new emperor’s accession will surely entail a nationwide amnesty; although Qian Xiaoqing has been sentenced to be executed, it hasn’t been carried out yet. I need to notify the authorities beforehand, lest she causes trouble once released."
"Rest assured, with the new emperor’s amnesty, there are three exceptions: rebellion is not pardoned, treason is not pardoned, and heinous cris are not pardoned. Qian Xiaoqing has two murders on her record, qualifying as a heinous criminal."
"That’s good." Yang Chuxia felt relieved; otherwise, if soone like that was released, it would make her furious.
"With the new emperor just ascending, there will certainly be many affairs to handle; I will likely be very busy, so my dear wife, please take good care of yourself."
Ever since Yangyang was taken away, his wife had been anxious and worried, losing considerable weight.
"Do you even need to say that?" Yang Chuxia smiled as she looped her arm around his. "Now that we have news about Yangyang, I feel much more relaxed. I tell you, I took out Yangyang’s letter again today, and discovered that kid even wrote a hidden ssage, subtly telling us he’s safe."
"Really?" Ye Zi’an found it hard to believe if this was sothing Lele wrote, but considering it ca from his simple-minded young son, it seed incredible.
"Of course it’s true. I’ll show you later, our little second son isn’t stupid at all."
Ye Zi’an boasted, "Of course, how could my son be stupid?"
Thinking about Baili Yan’s smooth accession, Ye Zi’an continued, "After the coronation ceremony, the Emperor will likely grant rewards; I reckon our family might even receive a title, which will set our second son’s future, and as for Qingqing, there’s still ti; we can plan slowly for him."
"What? We might get a title? That’s truly wonderful." Yang Chuxia was thrilled; whether ancient or modern, no parent wouldn’t want their children to have a bright future. While she could live in a small village, she didn’t want her sons to remain there.
In ancient tis, unlike in a modern, law-governed society, having power ant standing in the upper ranks to avoid being bullied. Just look at the incident when Brother An took the exam to beco a Recomnded Man but his achievent was replaced by soone else.
If it weren’t for the backing Brother An had, no one would have investigated his grievance, and he’d have had to wait three more years to take the exam again.
It must be said, Yang Chuxia’s mindset had sowhat changed.
"There should be no exception; if it’s not a Duke, it should at least be a Marquis." Ye Zi’an smiled, "This ti, however, the title won’t be directly granted to our son; I’m letting my wife be a Marchioness first."
