Capítulo 706: Old Affairs of the Xuanyuan Kingdom (2)

"And then?" Shen Yijia asked.

Since he said that this status was from back then, wasn't it different now?

You Yi said, "Back then, the late emperor suddenly had an emergency and died, leaving only the emperor and my lord.

"The emperor was older and naturally ascended the throne. However, because the previous emperor praised the aristocratic families too much, their ambitions were already huge. They actually wanted to control the emperor and make him a puppet."

How aggrieved was the emperor who had just ascended the throne?

It was fine if he could not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, but the aristocratic families even controlled who could enter the harem. Moreover, any concubine who wanted to serve the emperor at night had to be arranged beforehand and approved by these families.
