80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled Chapter 47

Just as the reforms of the Yuhua God Dynasty proved to be successful as its people spent their days in peace and contentment, chaos suddenly broke out within the confines of the Imperial Court.

Emperor Ming—Lin Tianyuan abolished the Empress and doted on Concubine Ming, Mei Niang.

He wanted to make her the Empress and caused an earthquake in the Imperial Court and the public in the process.

More than ten court officials that followed Emperor Yuan from the beginning of the reforms until now. The court officials of two generations in the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Some were even old officials from three generations back.

Their prestige ran deep and they had a significant influence on the Yuhua God Dynasty.

But now, they were dealt upon them their forceful retirements and were asked to return to their hometowns and leave the Cabinet.

Lin Tianyuan's actions shocked the world.

The court officials and the commoners were all discussing what Emperor Ming was trying to achieve by doing this.

For the sake of a beautiful woman, did he not want the Imperial Court anymore?

Without these court officials, who would manage the world for him?

Without these cabinet ministers, who would help him continue to reap the fruits of the reforms for him?

Emperor Ming wasn't that old yet. He ascended to the throne at 15 years old.

After more than 10 years, he was only about 30 years old.

He could be considered to be at the prime of his life.

How could he be so muddled?

After a few days…

Emperor Ming also knew what the people of the world were saying about him.

But he was very confident. He had hundreds of Martial Sages under his command. He could even threaten others using Lin Jiufeng's influence. Even without his court officials, the Yuhua God Dynasty wouldn't suffer much loss.

“A group of corrupt scholars. Not only did they refute my views on court affairs, but they even dared to make me kill my beloved concubine. This is simply preposterous!”

Emperor Ming was enraged. If these corrupt scholars hadn't asked him to kill his beloved concubine, he wouldn't have given such an order.

Sitting upright in the Great Council Hall, darkness and coldness enveloped him.

Emperor Ming's expression was cold as he tried his best to endure his anger.

He also didn't want to get rid of the court officials all at once.

That would leave him with a bad reputation of killing those who had been useful to him.

But those people had crossed his bottom line—it was unbearable for Lin Tianyuan.

“I was called a bastard child before I was five years old. I had no father and was beaten out of the house by Grandpa. My mother was also severely humiliated.”

“Then, Father found us and brought us to the Imperial Capital. But at that time, he was already the Crown Prince and he couldn't let me enter the royal family's genealogy. I was still a bastard child in the end.”

“Then, Father handed me to Uncle. Uncle is mysterious and unfathomable. He taught me cultivation and literature, allowing me to become accomplished. But with Uncle, I didn't receive any love at all!”

There was hatred in Emperor Ming's eyes.

When he was young, he wanted his mother's love.

But his mother was very strict with him.

She wanted him to work hard and become talented. She never once spoiled him.

Not a word of praise, not even a warm embrace.

Within his memory of his mother, what he could remember were harsh reprimands, cold greetings, and a constant set of goals for him to achieve.

When he was young, he didn't get to enjoy his father's love either.

At that time, Emperor Yuan was too busy.

He didn't even get to see Emperor Yuan even once a year.

Lin Tianyuan yearned for care and love to warm him up.

Lastly, there's Lin Jiufeng. His attitude towards him was to let him grow freely.

Lin Jiufeng's request for him was to ask him to work hard and only talk to the former if he had any questions.

The lack of love in his youth made Lin Tianyuan's character incomplete.

His wife was chosen by Emperor Yuan.

Lin Tianyuan didn't love her at all, but he didn't dare to disobey his father.

Because that was the first time his father showed him concern and helped him solve his lifelong problem.

He couldn't afford to refuse.

He had a son and a daughter with the Empress, but they were always respectful to each other.

It was even difficult for them to befriend each other, let alone love.

After ascending to the throne, he had been working hard on reforms for the past ten years, not daring to slack off for even a moment.

He had already forgotten how to be doted on.

He also forgot how to love others.

Until now, when the world was finally stable and the reforms were successful. With his skyrocketing reputation, Lin Tianyuan became arrogant.

He believed that he had already solved his father's final wish, so he now had to think for himself.

Thus, he began to choose his concubines.

One of them was Mei Niang.

The first time he saw Lady Mei, Lin Tianyuan's heart was instantly moved.

The feeling of seeing 10,000 years with a single glance.

His heart pounded.

Then, after interacting with Mei Niang—Lin Tianyuan confirmed that she was the person he wanted to choose.

He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

For this reason, he abolished the Empress and dismissed the cabinet ministers, firmly implementing his own ideas.

“This is love!” The 30-year-old Lin Tianyuan believed in his current feelings.

He found love. He felt meticulous care from Mei Niang.

He wanted to give Mei Niang the most precious thing in the world for women.

The throne of the Empress!

In the Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked towards the palace.

They heard Lin Tianyuan's whispers all the way from the Great Council Hall.

The human and cat had different expressions on their faces.

The white cat looked forward to love…

But Lin Jiufeng's expression was extremely ugly.

How could he not know about the storm that had happened in the Imperial Capital in the past few days?

There was a lot of commotion.

Everyone was talking about it.

This was the first time Emperor Ming had a disagreement with the court officials.

But the most shocking of them all was his forcer retirement of those loyal officials.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but pay attention to it.

The reforms had just started.

It was a good start.

But if this momentum wasn't maintained, then this early success would become akin to a mirage, quick to appear and vanish.

But the current Lin Tianyuan no longer wanted to go deeper into the reforms.

He wanted love.

For the sake of love, he drove away all the court officials.

This decision of his made Lin Jiufeng furious.

“Love your head!” Lin Jiufeng gritted his teeth.

He looked at the current Lin Tianyuan, feeling the urge to beat him up.

The white cat turned its head to look at Lin Jiufeng, whose face had turned ugly.

It wrote and asked, “Are you very angry?”

With a cold face, Lin Jiufeng nodded and said, “This woman called Consort Ming is very capable. She managed to charm that fool, Lin Tianyuan, to such an extent. She definitely isn't an ordinary woman.”

Lin Jiufeng originally didn't plan to get involved in this.

But now, he had to take a look.

It was impossible to hope for Lin Tianyuan to reflect on his own actions.

He was currently immersed in the sea of love.

He was so happy that he couldn't listen to any bad words.

He was unable to wake up by himself.

“The key person is still that Mei Niang!” Lin Jiufeng's eyes turned slightly cold.

If this woman's background was normal and no one was backing her to do such a thing.

Then, it would be for the best.

But if Lin Jiufeng was to find out that someone was plotting behind the scenes, they would be met with his thunderous fury.

“The situation concerning the reforms has just recently stabilized. If you dare to play tricks behind the scenes, I will turn you, and the people behind you into ashes!” Lin Jiufeng's expression was cold.

“Are you going to the Forbidden City?” The white cat wrote.

“I'm already going there,” Lin Jiufeng said softly.

His Divine Soul that had just broken free from the dark chamber of his consciousness was already on its way to the Forbidden City.

To find out if there was anyone plotting behind this matter.

If there was no one, then that simply meant that Lin Tianyuan was a fool.

Lin Jiufeng wouldn't let him destroy the results of the reforms.

The white cat looked at the Forbidden City in curiosity.

Its claws moved. “Do you think there's a mastermind behind the Forbidden City?”

Lin Jiufeng stood with his hands behind his back.

His expression was cold and he didn't speak.

He would only find out after investigating it.

As for the love that Lin Tianyuan talked about—about love at first sight, heart pounding, and so on?

Lin Jiufeng didn't believe it.

Love at first sight was just lust!

As for the so-called love through long-term interaction was simply weighing the pros and cons!
