Chapter 726: 726
Reality (4)
Feng Yunian found out that he had a few white hairs, so he could only pull them out carefully, trying to make himself look younger .
Today was her death anniversary .
He took the cakes she liked during her lifetime and some incense candles and papers to burn as offerings .
Her mausoleum was built luxuriously, with a place reserved for himself .
The thought that a hundred years later, he would die and enter this chamber, made him happy .
Feng Yunian looked at the tombstone, and the snow falling on his head was like gray hair .
He burned the joss paper 1 . “Weiwei, are you doing well?”
Only the cold wind whizzed past .
He was used to it . “You never told me that your favorability reached one hundred . ”
She only said ninety-nine .
Feng Yunian showed a calm smile at the vicissitudes of life, “But when you slaughtered the ministers who were loyal to you and sent me to the throne, I knew it was your hundred . ”
He still remembered that she was embarrassedly said, if the favorability reached one hundred .
He would win the country, so he wouldn’t want her .
The reality was, she gave him the country, and then didn’t want him .
“At the beginning of this year, there was a severe drought . There were so many memorials on my desk that they could bury me . ”
He smiled and said, “They’re all scolding me, calling me a man who inherits the orthodoxy, and the law of nature is incomprehensible . Even if I lighten the taxes and pay more attention to water conservation and agriculture to make their lives easier, I am still an evildoer in their eyes . ”
Whenever there was a natural disaster, it was his fault .
He also knew that she had taken out the most powerful critics .
She died, and those ministers who had killed their way out of a mountain of knives and a sea of blood, stayed loyal to only her .
When she died and he was enthroned .
These people had all opposed it .
Even when she had cleared so many obstacles for him, he still struggled all these years .

It was very toilsome .
Feng Yunian whispered while burning the joss paper .
It seems like this could reduce the pain in his heart by one point .
It could also make heavy burdens lighter .
“Weiwei, guarding the country and the state is really boring and interesting . How could I ever have the idea of becoming an emperor?”
When he said this, the tears finally couldn’t hold back, and they fell from his eyes .
He hurriedly wiped them, “It’s my fault, why do I always come and complain to you? I should say something happy . ”
Then Feng Yunian choked up and laughed and talked about the many good things he had done to benefit the country and the people .
It was only until he stayed late into the night before he was willing to return to the palace .
As soon as he returned to the palace, he saw his confidant, who hurriedly reported .
“There are more than a dozen ministers who urged thousands of people to kneel at the gate of the southern palace, saying that after the one to sit on the throne became a man, natural disasters come every year . They hope that Your Majesty will abdicate . ”

In recent years, there had indeed been more natural disasters than before .
A man ascended to the throne, illegitimately conferred, and all the women were suppressed .
And Feng Yunian started to promote male officials .
This simply ate into the pie2 of the parties of interest . He had been fighting with this group for a long time .
Feng Yunian was silent for a while before saying coldly, “I see, let them kneel . I will deal with it tomorrow morning . ”
The eunuch retreated .
Then he sat in a chair alone for a long time in a daze .
Someone opposed him again .
“Weiwei…” He called softly .
“En . ”
He suddenly raised his head and saw Bai Weiwei lazily leaning against the table, still smiling .

Feng Yunian was pleasantly surprised and rushed to hug her with shaking hands .
But the next moment, only the void was in his arms .
Feng Yunian was stunned . He looked at the room full of coldness, no sign of her to be seen .
He was possessed by a bone-deep yearning .
He chuckled, feeling sad and wronged .
Then he slowly walked out the door and into the hall .
1: 冥纸: paper made to resemble paper money . It is specifically used as an offering to the dead↩
2: Not a literal pie . Basically, Feng Yunian’s decision to bring more males into the court goes against the interest of the other ministers . ↩
