The Sorrowmender

PAID Chapter 197

The next morning, the early court session arrived as scheduled.

In front of all the ministers, the emperor announced two major events, causing an uproar among the officials. They were well aware that their emperor was truly beginning to implement reforms.

As the morning court session concluded, two imperial decrees were issued from the Golden Throne Hall.

One was proclaimed outside the hall, announcing to all the Lords of the realm.

It was called: The Edict of Enfeoffment.

"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor declares: Since I ascended the throne fifteen years ago, I was young and inexperienced, yet I relied on the wholehearted support of the Lords of the realm, which has led to the current prosperity of Cangyue. Though I have not mentioned it, I have kept it in my heart."

"Now that I have come of age, I must express my gratitude. Therefore, today I announce to the realm that upon the passing of any Lord, their heir may inherit the title, and the other offspring may also receive the emperor's grace, taking a portion of the former Lord's fief, thus benefiting the various marquises."

"So decreed!!"

The other decree traversed half of the capital, arriving at the southern part of the city.

It was called: The Appointment of the National Teacher.

"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor declares: There is Mister Forgetting Worries, Xu Qingzhou, who is erudite and knowledgeable, with a wealth of learning, understanding the heavens above and the earth below, truly a sage with the talent to connect heaven and earth, deserving of a heavy responsibility."

"I, by the Empress Dowager's command, hereby appoint Mister as the National Teacher of Cangyue, ranking above all ministers, above the Six Dukes."

"Bestowed with an eight-horse carriage, a date will be chosen to open an official residence."

"Granted the Imperial Sword and Armor, from this day forth, when the world sees the National Teacher, it shall be as if I am present."

"The National Teacher is granted the authority to command the military forces of the realm and to appoint and dismiss officials throughout the land."
