[2] THE LITTLE DARLING WIFE WHO IS A DIVINE DOCTOR SAVED THE ENTIRE FAMILY

Ch 545 - 546

C545: The Royal Family is in trouble.

There was no need for Mo Jiuye to say anything - Nan Yu had already planned to do this.

"Good, I will immediately enter the palace and make arrangements for this matter."

He did not say that he would immediately enter the palace to report this to the Emperor Shunwu. Instead, he was making it clear to Mo Jiuye that this matter had already been settled on his end, and all they needed to do was wait patiently for the news.

Nan Yu worked with great efficiency. The next day, right after the morning court session had ended, Minister Hao returned with new information.

No one knew how Nan Yu had presented this matter to Emperor Shunwu, but today at the morning court session, the Emperor directly issued an edict to completely exonerate the Mo family of all injustice. In front of the assembled civil and military officials, he admitted that he had initially exiled the Mo family to the northwest at the instigation of slanderous petty people, causing the entire Mo family to suffer grievances for a whole year.

It was clear to anyone with eyes that Emperor Shunwu was expressing his apology to the Mo family in front of the civil and military officials.

Not only that, but the Emperor also issued an edict conferring the title of King of Defending the West on Mo Jiuye, and granting the western territories as his fief.

The title of King of Defending the West was hereditary, and Nan Yu had also mentioned that there were other living male descendants of the Mo family besides Mo Jiuye.

This edict of investiture specifically stated that there was only one position of the King of Defending the West, and whichever male descendant of the Mo family wished to assume the position could request an imperial decree to change the title holder.

At the same time, Emperor Shunwu issued an edict instructing Mo Jiuye to personally arrange for the male descendants of the Mo family to immediately take up arms and join the battle, without needing to come to the capital city to pay homage.

When this edict was issued, the entire court of civil and military officials was shocked beyond belief.

This was truly unprecedented since the founding of the Da Shun dynasty.

During the founding of Da Shun, there had indeed been a king of a different surname, but that was because the individual had fought alongside the founding ancestor to establish the Da Shun realm.

Even so, the Prince Yong'an had never been granted a fief.

And now, regarding the Mo family, who had been exiled to the northwest just last year and whose members had gradually faded from the view of these officials, the unexpected had happened. Not only did the Emperor exonerate the Mo family of their crimes, but he even publicly stated that it was because he had listened to the slanders of petty people that the Mo family was wrongfully exiled.

This was truly the first time in the history of any dynasty that an Emperor had openly admitted such a thing.

Even more astonishing was that Emperor Shunwu immediately conferred the title of King of Defending the West on Mo Jiuye.

Although the Mo father and son had made contributions on the battlefield for Da Shun, there was no reason to grant them a royal title just like that.

For a time, the entire hall was filled with heated discussions, and some even voiced objections.

However, they were all angrily rebuked by Emperor Shunwu.

The officials had never seen Emperor Shunwu so unyielding before, and they also realized one thing - the fact that Mo Jiuye had been granted the title of King of Defending the West could not be changed in the slightest.
