Chapter 1014 - 1016: The Enthronement of The Prince (1)
Great Jin Nation, the twenty-ninth year of Saint Wu, July
In the bustling Capital, three major events occurred, causing citizens to rush about spreading the news. At street corners and alleys and around the tables after meals, what everyone discussed were these three matters.
The first event was the Emperor’s enfeoffment of his legitimate son Nangong Yi as The Prince, relocating to the East Palace and temporarily acting as the regent for court politics.
The second event was the Khan of the Meng leading his subjects to the capital to surrender, presenting the maps of Lingbei, tributes, and swearing eternal allegiance to Great Jin, pledging loyalty to Great Jin.
The third event was the opening of a ’Yishan Hall’s Medical Center’ in the Capital, offering free consultations and medicine to the poor who could not afford treatment, winning a chorus of praises from the citizens...
These three events caused a strong reaction among the populace.
The first matter related to court politics; not many people dared to discuss it openly, but there were some bold enough to whisper behind closed doors. It was said that the Emperor intended to abdicate in favor of The Prince, devoting himself to cultivating immortality because a few days ago, the Emperor had been visited by a real immortal, assisted by the immortal, and had a narrow escape from death. He became even more yearning to pursue the path of cultivating immortality.
