My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

So he stood there respectfully, waiting for the emperor to wave his pen.

The emperor glanced at the queen and said something.

The Queen's words are reasonable. If so, then I will give you a name.

Eunuch Liu immediately stepped forward to spread the paper and study ink. Although the emperor's complexion was not good, he still had the strength to write.

After a brief pause in his mind, he wrote the word Yun Zhan.

There are no clouds for a thousand miles and the sky is clear, so how about calling me Yun Zhan?

Shang Yunzhan.

When he heard the name, Shang Yukuan nodded vigorously. He was not very literate, but he also knew that it had a good meaning, so he naturally agreed and then said.

Yun Zhan, Yun Zhan, it's nice to hear and easy to remember. Your Majesty's kindness will be remembered by everyone in the Duke's office.

Shang Yukuan hurriedly thanked him, but saw that Shang Ji didn't move, so he winked and asked him to thank him quickly.

But Queen Guo, who was sitting next to the emperor, spoke at this moment.

My lord, there is no need to be so anxious to thank you. Your Majesty has not finished speaking yet.

Shang Yukuan didn't know why, but he didn't dare to anger the two people above him, so he said quickly.

Yes, yes, please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Empress Guo's eyes were sore from seeing such a dignified prince, and the disdain in her heart became more and more obvious, but there was no trace of disdain on her face, and she still held a motherly attitude, calling out No one can find any fault at all.

After the emperor put down the imperial pen in his hand, he sighed and said.

Shang Aiqing and Liulang are both my great ministers of Daxing. They have served our court a lot over the years, especially the deceased old man and the old marshal. They are the contributions of the founding of our country. Before my father died, He also told me to be kind to them.

It's a pity that God is jealous of the talents, and they all left one after another, so the remaining descendants like you are treated generously by me every day, and I have never been indebted to you.

After hearing these words, Shang Yukuan kept nodding in affirmation. Although Shang Ji next to him did not speak, his attitude was very respectful. It was obvious that he had no objection to these words.

But these days, I have repeatedly seen my father in my dreams, saying that I am not doing a good enough job and that I am too tired of the Gu family. Now there is only one daughter in the family who has not yet left the court, and there is not even a person who can support me. No, this makes it difficult for my father to feel at ease underground, so...

So, I invited Shang Aiqing and Liulang here today just to discuss something. How about letting this child take the Gu surname? It would also be good to leave a trace of blood in the Gu family.

ah?

When Shang Yukuan heard His Majesty's words, he was stunned.

It took him half a moment to realize that it was a trivial matter for his relationship to bring them into the palace and give him a name, but he actually wanted to change his grandson's surname!

Suddenly, he was much more angry than before, and he immediately leaned over and said.

Your Majesty, you must not do it. This Liulang is the young prince of our country's government. Naturally, his son will inherit our country's government. If he changes his surname to Gu, won't the entire government's government follow Gu in the future? Although the Gu family is my in-laws’ family, it doesn’t make sense! Your Majesty, please take back your life!”

He spoke more clearly this time, which shows that this person is not stupid, he just wants to see if his personal interests are affected.

Shang Ji sneered in his heart, but didn't say much.

At this time, if he agreed too readily, wouldn't it make His Majesty suspicious?

So he also showed a shocked look, and then said in a deep voice.

Your Majesty, please think again.

The father and son were a rare united front, which made Shang Yukuan feel a little more comfortable, but the emperor looked a little unhappy at the moment.

If it weren't for waking up from nightmares every day, he wouldn't bother to care whether the child's surname was Shang or Gu.

As an emperor, he believed that he was not absurd or unreasonable, nor did he harm the country or the people. He just occasionally felt tired and wanted to rest for a few days. Unexpectedly, the late emperor frequently fell into sleep and was cursed all over his face.

Naturally, the emperor would not leak these matters to others, but if this matter was not handled properly, wouldn't it mean that the late emperor would be entangled with him every day?

The late emperor in the dream was not so pleasant, as he was talking to the two of them, but he looked so vicious as if he wished to take him away.

Thinking of this, the emperor's tone became much tougher.

Shang Aiqing, I talk to you kindly, but I want to contradict you like this?

Shang Yukuan didn't want to. If he had such courage, he would have compromised on other matters, but if it was about changing his surname, he would never agree.

So he banged his head and kowtowed a few times, and immediately expressed his stance.

I don't dare to make mistakes, but it is related to the success or failure of the family's honor and disgrace. Please take back your orders!

He looks a bit like his deceased father-in-law at the moment. Unfortunately, this strength came too late, so it is of little use.

But in the emperor's eyes, he became a disobedient person, so he expressed his opinion immediately.

Shang Aiqing, I just asked one of your many grandchildren to change his surname to Gu to continue the incense of the Gu family. How can it be related to the success or failure of the family's honor and disgrace? Listening to what you mean, then I am not stupid and ignorant. Are you going to cause all your businesses to fail?

The emperor was already disturbed by the fact that the late emperor fell into a dream, but now that Shang Yukuan dared to refute him, the emperor's rebellion could no longer be tolerated.

Shang Yukuan was overwhelmed by the sudden dragon power and couldn't hold his head up. However, although he had three grandchildren, the first two were of little use.

One is longer than a woman's hands and has mediocre qualifications.

If a person has a broken leg at home, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to become a civilized or martial artist in the future.

Under such circumstances, he also had high hopes for Shang Ji, a newborn child, so he could not give in.

Although he didn't speak, he had an attitude of never changing. The emperor became more and more angry. At this moment, Queen Guo, who was sitting next to the emperor, glanced at Shang Ji.

Shang Ji immediately understood that it was time to add fuel to the fire.

So he also stood up and knelt beside his father Shang Yukuan, expressing his position.

I am a merchant. You must not let your children and grandchildren become the sinners of the merchants. My father is right. Please take back your life!

Upon hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly and spoke.

Shang family? Because I want to change your son's surname, your son will become a sinner of the merchant? Liulang, you also want to contradict me?

I don't dare, but what my father said is not unreasonable. My eldest brother died early and my nephew was young, so I passed the title of young prince to me at that time. I have been cautious for many years and don't want to disgrace the Duke's mansion. reputation, so...

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor.
