To be honest, although Empress Dowager Rong was Ji Sheng's biological mother, Ji Sheng knew almost nothing about Empress Dowager Rong. The only thing he knew was from asking his secretary and palace maids.
As a modern country, there were no eunuchs in the palace. The secretary was a servant who helped Ji Sheng with his chores. The palace maids were all from innocent families who entered the palace to do odd jobs. They were like soldiers. They were appointed once every three years. After the term expired, they could choose to leave or continue to serve for another term.
It was also worth mentioning that the salary was not low.
Here, he had to thank the precepts set by the ancestor emperor that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, allowing him to face his birth mother after he was fully prepared.
Sitting in the back of the car, Ji Sheng's mind filtered all kinds of information about Empress Dowager Rong over and over again to make sure that there was no mistake.
Empress Dowager Rong was Rong Qin 'er. She was already fifty years old this year. When she was young, she was also a beauty that could topple a country. Otherwise, she would not have been the Empress Dowager and given birth to such a handsome son like Ji Sheng.
However, what was truly impressive was Empress Dowager Rong's family background.
Empress Dowager Rong's father was very impressive. He was Rong Muzhi, one of the five great generals of the Federation Dynasty. However, he had passed away.
But her brother Rong Wei was still around.
Not only did he take over Rong Muzhi's position as a general, but he was also in charge of the 500,000 strong army in the Southern Military Region! Liang Yue and Yun Gui were all under his control. What was even more commendable was that Rong Wei did not rely on his father and sister to get to this position. He relied on his military achievements to get to this position step by step! His prestige in the army was very high. Since Ji Sheng ascended the throne, he had been able to go smoothly, and his glory and prestige were indispensable.
Empress Dowager Rong's mother was even more impressive.
Empress Dowager Rong's mother was Princess Huasheng.
Princess Huasheng's mother's surname was Li and her name was Li Zhong.
Although it was a very masculine name, Li Zhong was the only surviving bloodline of the cultivator big shot, Inaction Saint Li Er!
The marriage between Li Zhong and a prince of the royal family had resulted in the collapse of the thousands of years of conflict between the Federation Dynasty and the cultivators, which had led to the establishment of the Divination Bureau.
Princess Huasheng was Li Zhong's only child.
Later, Princess Huasheng and Rong Muzhi gave birth to Rong Wei and Empress Dowager Rong.
This meant that Empress Dowager Rong's mother's family was not only related to the Prince of the temple, but also to Li Er!
Why was Li Er always so friendly to Ji Sheng? It was because his blood also flowed in Ji Sheng's body! Although this bloodline had been passed down for countless generations, Ji Sheng was indeed related to Li Er by blood.
Empress Dowager Rong's connections supported Ji Sheng's throne. The temple, the Tianji Department, and the military all supported him. Ji Sheng himself was the rightful successor, and the head of the civil officials, Ye Zhengyi, was a stubborn person.
There was a reason why Ji Sheng could sit so firmly as the emperor.
**********
His meeting with Empress Dowager Rong was a pleasant one.
Although Empress Dowager Rong was Li Er's descendant, she did not have any talent for cultivation. She did not like cultivation, nor did she covet her lifespan. She only wanted Ji Sheng to become a qualified emperor and lead the Federation Dynasty to prosperity.
In his words, there was no mention of his longing for Ji Sheng.
However, Ji Sheng could feel that Empress Dowager Rong was trying her best to control her emotions. This was because Empress Dowager Rong knew very well that as the Empress Dowager of a country, she could not let her woman's feelings affect Ji Sheng, the emperor.
This made Ji Sheng feel very touched.
Being in the royal family, although one could be respected infinitely, how could one not care about the responsibilities on one's body?
Ministers were often taught to abandon their likes and dislikes, and to make decisions based on the interests of the dynasty!
The imperial family was even more cruel!
A minister could only ruin the situation for a moment.
However, a fatuous ruler could destroy an entire dynasty!
In order to make the emperor wise and decisive! In order to ensure the continuation of the Federation Dynasty!
The royal family had to sacrifice what ordinary people could not! Only then could he sit in a position that ordinary people could not!
Ji Sheng didn't say those sensational words.
Because Ji Sheng knew very well that saying those words would only make Empress Dowager Rong suffer even more. With just one meeting, Ji Sheng knew that although Empress Dowager Rong was a woman, she was an Empress Dowager who placed the country first! She was able to distinguish between the importance and severity of the matter. She placed the identity of the empress dowager before her mother's identity and forcefully restrained her longing and dependence on her son as a mother.
Gentle words would only make the mother of the country suffer even more.
To Empress Dowager Rong, there was no better reward than becoming a truly qualified emperor who could lead the dynasty to prosperity!!
"I will never let these sacrifices go to waste!”
He secretly clenched his fists.
Ji Sheng finally understood why Emperor Wu Dao committed suicide out of shame after he was criticized by the Zong Temple for a month and found out that he was a fatuous ruler who brought disaster to the country and people…
He had let down the sacrifices of so many people and let down the expectations of so many people!
Xiang Yu, the Overlord on Earth, probably committed suicide with this mentality.
