The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion

Chapter 553

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 Hao 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 Hao'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.

After all, Nan Qi was a child raised by Concubine Yuan, and Nan Yu had also exchanged conditions with Fe Mama to spare his life.

Nan Yu felt no pity for someone like Nan Qi.

He directly ordered Nan Qi to be released from the dungeon and left to fend for himself.

In summary, matters in the capital were gradually improving step by step.

Even if Nan Yu did not write to inform them, with Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran's understanding of history, they knew he would become an enlightened ruler.

As an emperor, especially one who had just ascended the throne, Nan Yu had to deal with countless matters large and small every day. Yet he still took the time to write about his recent situation, showing how much he valued the Mo Family.

After putting away the letter, Mo Jiuye began arranging for the defense.

The Mo Family could now openly and legitimately carry out their guard duties without any ambiguity.

The private soldiers they had trained in the mountains no longer had to remain hidden, especially since they possessed bombs and repeating crossbows. These men would become the main force in this battle.

Including the troops led by his second and third brothers that were hidden in the western territory, Mo Jiuye divided the entire force into three parts.

One part went with his eldest, fifth, and sixth brothers to rush to the southern territory.

The fifth brother served as the commander because Mo Jiuye felt most reassured with his courage and meticulousness in handling matters.

The Mo Family deeply hated the people of the southern region, so Mo Jiuye instructed his fifth brother and other brothers to bring a vast quantity of bombs when they departed.

Once the battle began, these men would not need to hold back and could simply blow everything up...

This would also let the new rulers of the Da Shun Dynasty know that the Mo Family had the capability to resist any force, but the Mo Family was loyal and simply refused to do such things!

In any case, the goal was to raze the southern region to the ground to avenge the previous humiliation suffered by the Mo Family men.

The northwest had already become the Mo Family's territory, requiring many matters to be reorganized.

Mo Jiuye assigned this task to his fourth brother, who had recovered to a reasonable extent, although still somewhat weaker than his other brothers.

Mo Jiuye planned to have him and Meng Huaining manage the administrative affairs in the northwest.

These administrative matters included many aspects, such as maintaining law and order within the cities as well as livelihood issues.

In fact, the fourth brother found these tasks rather challenging since he had trained in martial arts from a young age and had no experience in governance.

By having the fourth brother jointly manage these matters with Meng Huaining, Mo Jiuye understood his brother's nature - they would feel useless without tasks to occupy them.

The fourth brother was aware of his own situation and knew his ninth brother was accommodating him. Even so, he felt somewhat uneasy that his brothers could go into battle while he was only responsible for logistics.

Mo Jiuye noticed his thoughts and could understand his feelings.

For a commander accustomed to fighting on the battlefield, it was certainly unsatisfying to be stationed at the rear.

"Fourth brother, don't think the tasks you need to do are easy. Not only are you responsible for maintaining law and order within the cities, but more importantly, you must continue producing bombs to supply the battlefields.

Only our brothers know the method of making bombs. Now that the war has begun, the demand for bombs will increase, so you may become the busiest brother in the future."

Hearing from Mo Jiuye that he would become the busiest brother, the fourth brother no longer felt dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, ninth brother. Father and I have become quite skilled at making bombs and can guarantee an adequate supply."

Seeing that the fourth brother was no longer gloomy, Mo Jiuye continued with the other arrangements.

"Our second and third brothers have already laid an ambush in the western territory. Soon, I will lead our seventh and eighth brothers, along with Liang Hao and the others, to join them. I will be in charge of the battle in the western territory."

Mo Jiuye chose to bring the seventh and eighth brothers because he knew they were the most impulsive, and only by keeping them under his watch could he ensure they followed orders.

Mo Jiuye had just been granted the title of King of Defending the West, and throughout history, kings granted territories were not given residences by the court.

The entire territory now belonged to you. Where and what kind of mansion you wanted to build depended solely on the ability of the territorial lord.
