Chapter 271 Surprises Come One After Another
The four princes froze on the spot for a moment, their faces turning pale.
The ministers of Xiqi wanted to protest, wanted to object loudly, and wanted to tell the emperor that this was against the rules. There had never been a precedent for a princess to become emperor in Xiqi. However, they faced the eldest princess's extremely indifferent expression, and faced the Dongling War King and Lord Xie. With careless but threatening eyes, all their words were stuck in their throats and they couldn't say a word.
The atmosphere seemed to suddenly cool down.
The ministers had expressions of surprise, uneasiness, uneasiness, disbelief, and fear that they could not say what they wanted to say... Many thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant. They had even thought that if Chu Qinghuang really ascended the throne and became the emperor, what would happen to them? What kind of heat will the ministers live in in the future?
Therefore, this matter must be firmly opposed to the end.
But now is not the time.
Regardless of whether the excuse given by Dongling War King is true or false, his attitude towards wanting the eldest princess to ascend the throne is very clear. If he strongly opposes it at this time, the emperor will definitely be angry and disgusted.
After the Dongling envoy left, they must kneel down and beg the emperor to take back the order and think twice before acting.
It was so quiet in the main hall that you could hear a pin drop.
Chu Qinghuang drank tea quietly and listened to all the thoughts in the minds of the ministers in the palace. Because there were too many people and they were excited, the thoughts in their minds were particularly rich, and it felt like a commotion.
"Chen Hai." The emperor made a prompt decision and issued an edict immediately, "After the party is over, you can draft the edict. The eldest princess is both civil and military, intelligent and benevolent, has the heart to love the people like a son, and has the appearance of a talented emperor. She will be appointed as the crown prince immediately. ...Uh, no, it should be the Crown Princess.”
Chen Hai responded respectfully: "Yes."
"Father!" The four princes' expressions changed with shock, "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Shut up, everyone!" the emperor shouted angrily, "Whoever talks more will be dragged out and beaten!"
The four princes looked pale and looked at Chu Qinghuang stiffly, with unwillingness in their eyes.
Chu Tianyin clenched his hands and thought coldly in his heart. It seems that his plan should be brought forward. The emperor must abdicate early, otherwise...
The emperor had solved a major issue and was in a very good mood. He was not unhappy at all about being forced to appoint the crown princess. On the contrary, he felt that the request made by the War King was very suitable for him. He was worried about how to break the system and let Qinghuang become the queen.
I think the ministers will fight to the death and object fiercely, but it doesn't matter now. It doesn't matter whether they object or not. Anyway, Qinghuang has ways to deal with them.
His Majesty the Emperor decided that he could slowly hand over the power of the government to Qinghuang in the future, allowing her to take care of her father's worries and take care of these stubborn old guys.
After taking a long breath, His Majesty the Emperor picked up the wine cup and sincerely paid homage to King Zhan and Master Xie again.
By becoming an ally with Dongling, he no longer has to worry about whether Xiqi will be annexed by others... With Qinghuang here, Xiqi will definitely be prosperous and strong.
But then again, the two brothers, Emperor Dongling and King Zhan, transferred their sister's feelings to Qinghuang. Although it was Xiqi's luck, it was like a sudden surprise from the sky, but this transference was too fast. After a while, you don’t need any time to understand it, and you just support Qinghuang like this?
The monarch and his ministers were smiling happily and drinking wine.
For the emperor and Rong Zhan, this palace banquet was undoubtedly a great time for both host and guest - of course, provided that the unpleasant things were ignored.
"I'll give you another toast to the King of War."
Xuanyuan Rongzhan picked up the wine cup to save face, and glanced at his face. He found that the emperor was really happy, and he didn't seem to be unhappy at all about being forced to establish a throne. So he wondered, is the Emperor of Xiqi so enlightened?
It seems that Xiqi's failure to become strong in recent years is indeed not the fault of the emperor's incompetence, but it is actually caused by too many external factors.
He glanced at the Xiqi officials present.
The princes are all incompetent, the officials are not very smart, the parties are colluding, and there is a serious struggle for power. If the emperor wants to develop Xiqi on his own... it is indeed difficult to reach the sky.
Without his father's thunderous methods, it would be difficult for ordinary people to clean up the long-standing evil in the court.
"I heard that the eldest princess's birthday is coming soon." Xie Jin put down his wine cup, "We also have a big gift for you."
When the emperor heard this, he was shocked again: "Thank you, sir."
The surprises came one after another, making him feel like he was stepping on clouds, so light and unreal.
"Fifteen years ago, after the Regent of Dongling and Her Majesty the Queen abdicated, they took the young princess to travel around the world. The two masters loved the little princess so much that they held it in their mouths for fear of melting, and held it in their hands Afraid of falling. The little princess had an accident when she was seventeen. The most sad thing was that the Queen and the Regent, especially Her Majesty, were in tears almost every day." Xie Jin sighed, "Before we arrived in Xiqi, we received the news from the Regent. According to the letter from the king, if the temperament of the eldest princess is really similar to that of the little princess Dongling, then the regent intends to adopt the eldest princess as his daughter. I wonder what the emperor’s intention is? "
The emperor was stunned, huh?
"The regent has said that he will not interfere in the internal affairs of Xiqi in the name of his father, nor will he dictate anything that Her Royal Highness the Princess does." Xie Jin said, "I just want to give Her Majesty the Queen a thought."
His Majesty the Emperor twisted in silence.
In fact, what he wanted to say was that Her Majesty the Queen who abdicated the throne in Dongling loved her daughter so much. Can recognizing another girl as her daughter really soothe his longing for her daughter?
After all, other people's daughters are other people's daughters and have no feelings at all. Can they be the same as their own?
