C553: The Bomb is Over

The Mo Family members merely listened to such matters.

There were signs that Emperor Shunwu had suffered a stroke, but it was unlikely that he wanted to try cultivating the Fourth Prince as his heir. This was simply unacceptable.

Who knew when he might actually have a stroke? Relying on a child of only a few years old to uphold the entire nation, wasn't that a huge joke?

The Mo Family members saw through it but did not expose it. However, they believed the imperial messenger would not lie about Emperor Shunwu's illness.

Just as the imperial messenger and his attendants had finished eating and drinking at the Mo Family residence and departed, Meng Huaining brought a message from Nan Yu via carrier pigeon.

This letter was indeed written for Mo Jiuye.

The main content was to inform Mo Jiuye of the situation in the capital.

As Emperor Shunwu had promised, he abdicated in favor of Nan Yu three days later.

Nan Yu had now become the supreme ruler of the Da Shun Dynasty.

The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to punish several officials associated with the Xue Family, serving as a warning to others.

After all, there were a vast number of officials tied to the Xue Family, and he could not completely eliminate them all. The court needed officials at this time, and he hoped those officials would be grateful for the new emperor's mercy and serve the dynasty loyally.

As for Minister Hao, Nan Yu had sincerely advised him to stay, but Minister Hao was determined to resign. Since that was the case, Nan Yu did not force him and approved his resignation.

When writing the letter, Minister He had already disposed of his properties in the capital and would soon arrive in the northwest to reunite with them.

Regarding the case of the Ninth Prince's rebellion, Nan Yu knew He Ziming was implicated and no longer restricted his movements, agreeing to his resignation like Minister He's.

Nan Rui was granted the title of Prince Rui.

Nan Rui did not refuse this princely title, but he immediately told Nan Yu that he disliked participating in court affairs and only wanted to live a free and unrestrained life.

Now that Nan Yu had taken control of power, he had no reason to remain in the capital.

However, he did not refuse the Prince Rui's Mansion bestowed by Nan Yu, perhaps intending to stay there if he ever missed his brothers.

On the day he was granted the princely title, Nan Rui bid farewell to Nan Yu, stating that he planned to travel.

Mo Jiuye knew clearly that Nan Rui must have rushed back to the northwest.

Emperor Shunwu kept his word about enjoying his retirement, never interfering with state affairs after abdicating to Nan Yu.

Although Nan Yu harbored resentment towards Concubine Yuan, she was still his birth mother. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to grant her the title of Empress Dowager.

For some reason, Emperor Shunwu did not pursue charges against Concubine Yuan's offense of deceiving the emperor. Since abdicating, he had been living with Concubine Yuan, and the two interacted like an ordinary married couple.

As for Nan Qi, upon learning that Nan Yu was the one who had swapped places with him, he became completely insane.

To prevent any deception, Nan Yu sent multiple imperial physicians to examine him, eventually confirming that he had indeed lost his mind.
