The Only Favourite Ugly Husband-Chapter 169 - The accession to the throne (Part 1)

Chapter 169 – The accession to the throne (Part 1)

The ceremony of ascending the throne of the emperor of the republic of China and the inauguration ceremony of the prime minister were held together… they were shabby.

Jiang Zhen did not know how the enthronement of the emperor of the Daqi looked like but in his own words… now that they had very little money, they were absolutely no need for a big event.

Of course, it was necessary to ensure safety, that was for sure.

After Jiang Zhen took over Toyo, the vast majority of the people under his gentle policy did not even think of revolting but lived with him peacefully. But there was a group of people who rebelled against him all the time.

Most of these people ware descendants or subordinates of the Toyo aristocracy who had the opportunity to receive education in the past, there were also some relatives of Toyo people who were killed by Jiang Zhen’s side in the war. They have failed, but they ware lurking around, always thinking about restoring their country.

These group of people were not big and in another few decades, it was estimated that they would cease to exist, but for now, Jiang Zhen still need to be well guarded to prevent them from causing troubles.

The day before the inauguration ceremony, Jiang Zhen had a meal with his family. Then he went back to his room with Zhao Jinge in his arms.

He was now in his forties and these years of life has inevitably left the mark on his face and even few grey hair appeared on his head. But because he has always paid attention to his body and exercise, he was still in good shape and even his eight pack was not missing.

But Zhao Jinge eight pack become one.

These years Jiang Zhen has been fighting around, Zhao Jinge stayed with woman and gers in the rear, dealing with various political affairs …… even if he actually did not want to stop exercising, the intensity of these exercises were not enough to keep his muscular body.

However, his appearance was maintained, much better than Jiang Zhen.

He stayed in the rear no needed to face the wind and rain. Although conditions ware not enough for him to enjoy extravagance, he was never short on food or clothing. He has been in high position for a long time, so his temperament was also getting better and better.

Today, Zhao Jinge looked like he was in his thirties at most.

Jiang Zhen liked seeing Zhao Jinge like this very much.

Zhao Jinge always looked to his taste, but now that he had a hair cut short and wore clothes similar to modern military uniforms that he asked people to make, complety different from the long robes of Daqi …… ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

The first time he saw Zhao Jinge buttoning his clothes neatly to deal with political affairs, he wanted to rip them off.

It was a pity that these years he had fought in the war the two of them spend less and less time together. The number of times he was able to rip off Zhao Jinge clothes was really not much…

Of course, this evening he will rip them as much as he wanted.

Jiang Zhen did not hesitate to rip off Zhao Jinge clothing and then press him down..

Downstairs, Zhao Mingzhu Zhao Chengyu and Zhao couple after finishing the meal started eating fruits.

Zhao Mingzhu was now fifteen and has grown into a graceful girl. Although she was a little tall and her skin was a little dark because she was often outside taking part in sports he was still absolutely beautiful. After all, whether it was Zhao Jinge or Jiang Zhen their facial features ware good-looking.

In contrast, Zhao Chengyu looked a little shabby …… Of course, it was not because he was not good looking but because of his recent grow sprout his whole person looked as thin as bamboo pole…

But it was all because he was still growing up. Despite being thin, Zhao Chengyu eat very much, he eat even more than Jiang Zhen before. Now, after eating, he was still holding a big apple and nibbling at it. Seeing Zhao Mingzhu bring out pastries he also moved over to them…

“Chengyu, you are too good at eating….” Zhao Mingzhu looked at her brother with emotion, then she was a little disappointed to find that her brother was already as tall as she was!

She was taller than many men but her brother… it could be estimated that he would stand out in crowd in the future.

“if you can eat well, you eat well.” Zhao Liu said joyfully, and suddenly remembered the past: “Alas, when Jinge was as old as you, there was never enough food. Your father, at that time was always starving. Once I saw that he planted a few more seeds beans and even without boiling them he eat them directly.”

Zhao Liu’s hair was now white and perhaps due to her old age she liked to recall the past and tell about it to Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Chengyu .

Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Chengyu also liked to hear about those things, and after listening to them couldn’t help feeling grateful.

Their luck was really good, although their lifes was chaotic in recent years they never lacked food or clothing… their parents not only have always taken good care of them, but also gave them enough love.

Zhao Mingzhu thought of that hug Jiang Zhen gave her when they were eating earlier, and what Jiang Zhen said. Making the corner of her mouth hook up: “Dad must have worked so hard because he had too many hard days in the past! So he wanted all of us to live a good life!”

Her father never avoided her and would personally take her around to teach her so her knowledge was undoubtedly very broad. It was also very clear for her what life was like for the vast majority of people in the world.

It was really precious for her to have her present life.

“Yes,” Zhao Liu laughed: “We all have a good life!” It was not even a simple good life, she couldn’t even imagine such good life before.

She grew up in a small village as uneducated village woman, but now she would become an empress dowager.

Zhao Liu still felt it was surreal at this moment.

After being taken away from the Fucheng by Zhao Jinge and later learning that they had become fugitives, Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui were very scared. During that time, Zhao Liu even fell ill from worry and fear.

Fortunately, they soon settled down in Toyo.

When they first settled in Toyo, they lacked a lot of things so their life was similar to the time they had in the Hexi village before.

Their family again lived in a house made of clay while a group of people begin to reclaim the land… but because of this Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui heart surprisingly settled down.

Being fugitive was nothing if they still had land they could plant, it mean they would not starve to death …… Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui were even excited to plant their own land once again.

Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui planted for a year while Jiang Zhen gathered more and more people under his hands. Then they moved into a large house to live, and later Jiang Zhen frequently went out.

They knew that Jiang Zhen was doing something big, but at first, they just thought that Jiang Zhen was just taking over land with these Toyo people but as the result…

Jiang Zhen actually took over the whole Toyo! Not only that he even build his own country!

In the future it would no longer be Toyo but the Republic of China1

Every time she thought about it, Zhao Liu felt amazed.

“This is so delicious, sister, do you want to send some over to father?” At this point of time Zhao Chengyu had already eaten most pastries on the plate.

“Zhao Chengyu you are not afraid of your stomach exploding.” Zhao Mingzhu was a bit helpless as she added: “Also if you go to send food to father at this time, he will definitely ignore it.”

“Why?” Zhao Chengyu was a little puzzled, then he reacted with a jolt, immediately revealing a somewhat embarrassed expression.

He was really stupid… his father must now be doing “important things” ah! When he was young, his father often used this reason to kick him out of the room, didn’t he?

His parents had always had a good relationship.

Since they almost defeated Toyo two years ago, some generals were reluctant to keep their wives, but their father never had any bad thoughts.

But it was also very good.

Zhao Chengyu was now studying at school and his friend’s father raised secretly outside a woman. But his parents had good relationship and he didn’t even realized how much envious his friends were of him…

Zhao Chengyu and Zhao Mingzhu were very happy, hoping that Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge would always have such a good relationship. But Zhao Fugui and his wife felt a little embarrassed when they saw the tacit expressions on the faces of the two children.

People of their generation never let their children see anything! But what about Jiang Zhen? Sometimes he would even kiss Zhao Jinge at home without avoiding his children!

However, they also thought it was quite good…

They still had many things to do tomorrow so Zhao Fugui and his wife quickly went to bed while Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Chengyu also went to bed early.

However, Jiang Zhen slept quite late that night.

He was busy preparing for the enthronement and sweeping up the rebels so he hadn’t done anything with Zhao Jinge for a month. Of course, now he had to find a way to make it up to himself.

Early the next morning, Jiang Zhen woke up still in good mood.

Many men start to gain weight in their forties but due to exercises he was still in very good shape.

Jiang Zhen was very energetic, but Zhao Jinge was a little unable to get up.

Although he was not out of shape, he lacked exercise over the years.

“It’s time to get up, my majesty.” Jiang Zhen presses kiss on Zhao Jinge lips, thinking that after today Zhao Jinge would be an emperor making him a little emotional.

Overwhelming the emperor or something, was really something interesting to think about.

“You ……” Zhao Jinge heard Jiang Zhen address and couldn’t help blushing. He always thought he would be the empress and did not expect to become the emperor… sine Jiang Zhen called him his majesty, he… should he call Jiang Zhen the empress?

Well, it was something to think about.

Jiang Zhen pointed out that they had studied this constitutional monarchy for several months now, the emperor’s rights were not much, at least not as much as the prime minister’s rights so he actually couldn’t compare to Jiang Zhen.

Of course, he did not care about this. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Jiang Zhen has always been faithful to him, and their children were already grown up so he has long been satisfied.

“Jinge, I didn’t give the royal family much power, but this is for the good of our descendants.” Jiang Zhen kissed Zhao Jinge again before he begin to explain.

He was aware of the future direction of development.

When a centralized emperor may be overthrown, an imperial family that only had symbolic meaning would be able to go on.

If he gets more land and property for himself when he was still alive, he wouldn’t have to worry about his children and grandchildren future…

Of course, the most important thing was educating them, like Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Chengyu, he believes that they will certainly be able to make their own heaven!
