The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Outside the north gate of Kyoto, there were no ministers to greet him, no high-ranking officials who had given him the imperial edict to appear, and no Lu Qing, the actual commander of the Imperial Guards, to spy on him. It was as quiet as an ordinary morning.

This made Ren Tianye start to doubt himself.

It seems he didn't come to "purge the emperor's inner circle," but rather to visit the palace.

until……

A team, approaching from afar.

The sound grew louder!

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a funeral procession, carrying a coffin, with everyone dressed in mourning clothes and their faces filled with a sorrow that was hard to tell if it was genuine or not.

"This is……"

"Sending off the dead?"

Ren Tianye was stunned for a moment.

He was about to lead his army into the city when a funeral was held. Did this person simply lack common sense, or was there some other conspiracy at play?

Ren Tianye leaned towards the latter, but he couldn't guess what it was for the time being.

"They can't possibly be hiding weapons in the coffin, breaking it open when I'm not looking and trying to kill me, can they?!"

As he made this guess, the group drew closer and closer, soon reaching the north gate of the capital. Ren Tianye could clearly see the man's face, which was filled with bitterness.

It was none other than a friend I hadn't seen in a long time!

"Oh, it's the young master! Oh, it's nice to meet you again!"

Ren Tianye, still on horseback, gave a forced smile, appearing very polite.

"Ren Tianye..."

Young Master Lu Jun called out, but behind his back, when he called out those three words, he was gritting his teeth and exuding his habitual domineering CEO vibe, with an aura of having the world under his control. However, when facing Ren Tianye, his voice instantly became softer.

It doesn't look like a protest, it looks more like acting cute!

This greatly displeased Young Master Lu Jun. After quickly adjusting his mindset, he immediately shouted, "Ren Tianye, I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Get off your horse and kneel down to pay your respects to my father!"

Ren Tianye: "???"

She turned her head to look at Wang Ming.

Wang Ming was equally bewildered and subconsciously looked at his palm.

No, is his slap so easily forgotten? I remember back in Yunji City, he made the young master cry and scream, telling him everything without reservation.

How come the young master has reverted to his domineering CEO persona in the blink of an eye?

He could only awkwardly say, "General, this young master is just like that; there's no way to change him."

Ren Tianye nodded, indicating that he understood.

They didn't blame Wang Ming, but Wang Ming quickly shouted, "Lu Jun, what are you waiting for? Get out of the way!"

"Wait for my army's iron hooves?"

As Lu Jun, the young master, calmed down, he gradually regained his domineering CEO persona. He immediately straightened up and said coldly, "Ren Tianye, humph, I advise you to open your dog eyes and take a look."

"Who's blocking your way?!"

"Who's in the coffin?!"

"You want me to get out of here?"

"Hmph, aren't you afraid of what the world will say?"

These words surprised Ren Tianye slightly.

Subconsciously, I looked at the coffin, which was covered with a bright yellow sutra blanket, and the guards on both sides were holding up the street sign of the Duke of Fuguo's mansion.

Ren Tianye reacted instantly.

The coffin of the Duke of Fuguo's mansion.

He had found out in the past two days that the Duke of Fuguo's family had passed away, and all of the Duke's power had fallen into Lu Qing's hands.

only……

What does it mean to bring out the Duke of Fuguo's mansion now?

Before Ren Tianye could make any more guesses, Lu Jun said directly, "Ren Tianye, you knelt down, kowtowed, and became my father's disciple before he passed away."

"Although my father only received the title of your master for two days, a teacher for a day is a father for life!"

"Now, before my father's spirit, why don't you obediently kneel and kowtow?!"

These words left Ren Tianye completely bewildered.

Because he simply couldn't remember that he actually had such a master.

It should be noted that after he was transported to the Northern Frontier, his predecessor had already died of depression. Under the influence of certain rules, he inherited a portion of his predecessor's memories.

My memory is hazy and fragmented.

I don't even remember having a master!

but……

Even with such a master, it's not a big deal, is it?

After all, according to what Young Master Lu Jun said, it's only been two or three days. What kind of master is that?

While Ren Tianye thought this way, Young Master Lu Jun did not. Several people immediately jumped out from behind Young Master Lu Jun.

"The Book of Rites says, 'The relationship between teacher and student is like that between father and son!' Since your late father was your teacher, he was your father! When a father dies, his children should kneel in mourning. Yet you are still on horseback. Why don't you get off? What, do you want to admit to the crime of disobedience?"

"If a son does not attend his father's funeral and does not kneel in respect, he is unfilial. If you do not immediately get down and kneel in respect, weep bitterly, acknowledge the young master as your elder brother, and submit to the young master's judgment, then you are disowning your late father and are an unfilial person who will be condemned by all under heaven!"

"Once the titles and ranks are established, they will never be changed. Your late father was your teacher, and therefore your father; the young master is your elder brother; the Duke's mansion is your home. How dare you disobey? We will then proclaim this to the world and brand you with the infamy of being unfilial and disrespectful!"

……

The people who stepped forward were clearly extraordinary; they appeared to be either civil officials or great scholars, and their words carried considerable weight.

This made Young Master Lu Jun's face look much better.

They issued an ultimatum to Ren Tianye.

"Ren Tianye, immediately dismount and kneel before my father's coffin for seven days and seven nights, after which you must acknowledge me as your elder brother. Otherwise, I will surely ruin your reputation!"

After a pause, the young master said coldly, "Listen carefully, this is an announcement, not a discussion!"

Ren Tianye understood at this point.

So this was all a scheme set up for him by Young Master Lu Jun!

However, instead of a trap, there were no executioners lying in wait behind him. Instead, they invited some great scholars and officials, and brought out the principle of "a teacher for a day is a father for life" to control him?!

interesting!

He laughed and said, "Since a teacher for a day is a father for life, then this general can accept it!"

Young Master Lu Jun was overjoyed; he knew it would work.

He immediately shouted, "Then why don't you hurry up and come down to pay your respects?"

"No rush!" Ren Tianye laughed. "This general still has some questions. Since you keep saying that I am a member of your Duke Fuguo's mansion, you must acknowledge your father as your father..."

"So, now that your father is dead, he must have left behind a considerable inheritance, right?"

"How much should be allocated to this general?"

Young Master Lu Jun: "???"

The crowd behind him: "???"

"What, you haven't made up your minds yet?" Ren Tianye said leisurely, "That's alright. Since I'm going to call your father 'Dad,' I will not be careless about the inheritance."

"This general will definitely take all that is rightfully his."

After a pause, Ren Tianye commanded, "Wang Ming!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Please come into the tent, young master. I want to have a good talk with him about the legacy left by the Duke of Fuguo."

"I've heard that the Duke of Fuguo's family held great military and political power before his death, and his inheritance must be considerable. I, this general, am quite lucky; before I even entered the capital, someone was already willing to give me his inheritance!"

"Then I absolutely must accept!"
