When Li Wan heard this, the smile on her face widened.
“That’s good.”
“Let’s go. The food is ready. Let’s talk while eating.”
“Yes.” Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue followed.
The next day.
Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao personally sent them off, and Li Wan set off.
At the same time, the news of Emperor Yan’s death began to be spread to all the provinces and counties.
The Imperial Court had already decided that the Retired Emperor would be buried in three days.
On the fourth day after that, the new ruler ascended the throne and held a coronation ceremony.
The various departments began to get busy, seizing the time to prepare for the state funeral and the new Emperor’s ascension.
On the contrary, Lin Xiaoyue was free and returned to the Imperial Advisor’s residence to live a leisurely life.
As Murong Xuyang’s right-hand man, Li Xiao was busy arranging many things.
Murong Xuyang even intentionally let Li Xiao appear in front of everyone.
The officials in the capital had some impression of this “fiend”, and many people recognized Li Xiao.
However, no one dared to mention it.
Firstly, the Retired Emperor had already helped the Nangong Clan clear their name and had even ordered that the descendants of the Nangong Clan could return to the Imperial Court.
Secondly, Li Xiao was by Emperor Yan’s side and even had a close relationship with him. Not only was the current “fiend” not a wanted criminal, but he might even become a new upstart in the court.
There was still the third.
Some of the courtiers also discovered that Li Xiao was actually related to the Imperial Advisor.
He often went in and out of the Imperial Advisor’s residence and even stayed overnight there.
Some people even saw that Li Xiao talking and laughing with the Anyang County Head, behaving intimately.
This news shocked everyone, and at the same time, they became vigilant.
Therefore, everyone chose to shut up. They were waiting to see the situation.
A few days passed quickly.
The news released by the Imperial Court had not yet spread far when the coronation ceremony in the capital had already begun.
On this day, Murong Xuyang ascended the throne under the leadership of the Imperial Advisor and became the new Emperor of the Great Yan.
On the same day, Murong Xuyang issued a decree to make his mother the Empress Dowager and his wife the Empress.
However, the Empress was still on her way to the capital, so they could only wait until she arrived in the capital before holding the ceremony.
At this point, the imperial power of Great Yan had changed smoothly.
After another seven or eight days, the news finally reached the border.
Later, it was spread to Chu and Jin.
At this time, the end of the year was approaching.
When Xu Yan heard the news, he felt that this was a good opportunity.
That night, he entered the palace and spoke to the Emperor.
“There were only two days left until the Chinese New Year’s Eve. Isn’t it inappropriate to use force now?” They had barely solved the problem of food shortage in the country when winter came again.
This year’s winter was exceptionally cold, and many people were frozen to death due to lack of food and clothing.
The army was also in short supply of food and clothing. Now that they were attacking the Yan Country, they would also be under great pressure.
“It’s because it’s almost the 30th of the year. The Yan army definitely won’t expect us to send troops at this time.”
“In addition, the Yan Country has just changed their ruler. It’s time for the morale of the army to be unstable.”
“If our army attacks now, we will definitely be able to catch the Yan army off guard!” Xu Yan said excitedly.
He could not wait any longer.
He couldn’t forget the humiliation he had suffered in the Great Yan.
Liu Wuji and his granddaughter.
He would trample them under his feet and let them and the world know who was the final victor.
“This…” The Jin Emperor was still hesitant.
“Your Majesty!” Xu Yan raised his voice and bowed deeply to the Jin Emperor.
“This is a golden opportunity!”
The Jin Emperor was silent.
After a long time, he finally made up his mind.
“In that case, I will immediately appoint you as the marshal of the three armies to attack Yan on my behalf!” The Jin Emperor said in a deep voice.
I hope that you can unite with Chu and take down the Great Yan in one fell swoop.”
“When you succeed, I will personally welcome your triumphant return and confer you the position of Imperial Advisor.”
Xu Yan’s eyes lit up.
He also wanted to be like Liu Wuji and become the Imperial Advisor. He would become a god in the hearts of the people.
Jin did not have an Imperial Advisor in the past, but there would be one in the future.
“Thankyou, Emperor!” Xu Yan bowed.
A glint flashed across the Jin Emperor’s eyes.
“The imperial edict will arrive at your residence in a moment. Please go and prepare.” He then said.
“Yes! I’ll take my leave!” Only then did Xu Yan leave.
At the same time, Chu had also received the news of the change of the imperial power in the Great Yan.
Unlike the excitement of Jin, Emperor Chu’s expression was solemn.
“What do you think of this matter?” Emperor Chu looked at Yuchi Tianqiong.
“I thought that the envoy from Jin would leave soon.” Based on his understanding, Xu Yan would not wait any longer.
In fact, even if Chu was not needed, Jin’s current strength was enough to send troops to the Great Yan..
