Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 442: Song Dynasty: Bringing Peace to All Ages (25)

In the court, all the ministers stood solemnly.

Zhao Zhen was wearing a dragon robe and sitting upright on the dragon throne.

After discussing today's government affairs with his ministers, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and called Zhiyu to his side.

My lords, the country cannot be at peace until the crown prince is decided.

"I am planning to make my eldest daughter, Princess Yan, the heir apparent. What do you think, dear ladies?"

As soon as Zhao Zhen said these words, it was like a thunderous explosion in the court hall. The original solemn and quiet atmosphere was instantly broken, and was replaced by a noisy sound.

The ministers looked at each other with astonishment and disbelief on their faces, as if they couldn't believe what they just heard.

Everyone exchanged glances, as if trying to confirm whether they had heard it wrong.

Establishing a crown prince is a major national event, and everyone has long advised Zhao Zhen to establish a crown prince as soon as possible.

After all, only when the crown prince is established can the country be at peace.

But they never expected that Zhao Zhen actually wanted to make the princess the crown prince.

At this time, the ministers all thought that Zhao Zhen was crazy.

The official family has no sons, but he can't hand over the country and the country to his daughter...

In the early years, they persuaded the official family to adopt the son of Prince Runan to their knees, thinking that if the official family could not give birth to a son, the Song Dynasty would have a legitimate heir in the future.

Unexpectedly, the official family was so confused that they actually wanted to make the princess the crown prince.

You know, since ancient times, the throne has been inherited by men, and I have never heard of a princess inheriting the throne...

Seeing Zhao Zhen's determined face, the ministers below became anxious.

"Your Majesty, choosing a crown prince is a matter of national importance, and it concerns the safety of the country. Since ancient times, men have always inherited the throne. How can the princess take on such an important task? I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

"Your Majesty, making the princess the crown prince is not only against the ancestral system, but will also cause unrest in the court and the world. Please revoke your order."

"Your Majesty, the laws of our ancestors cannot be violated. Please consider the country and the people of the Song Dynasty."

.................

The ministers below objected one after another, but Zhiyu on the high platform was chatting with the system.

System: "Zhiyu, do you want a strange phenomenon to fall from the sky?"

"Do you want me to get another Shenlong projection?"

Zhiyu shook his head slightly, "No need."

Jian Zhiyu refused so neatly, the system was a little confused, "Why?"

"In this dynasty, no matter what you do, it can't be as shocking as the vision from heaven."

"I will put the projector outside the Golden Palace and let the dragon roar out. I guarantee they will treat you with respect."

Zhiyu shook his head, "In this dynasty, it's useless to make them fear me."

"I want them to fear me."

Hearing this, the system sighed with some regret, "Why?"

"Aren't they all the same?"

Zhiyu shook his head, "It's different."

"You should return the things you prepared."

"In this dynasty, I don't need to rely on these icing on the cake external forces to seize the throne."

"I have to rely on myself to ascend to the throne step by step."

Upon hearing this, the system said, "Okay, I didn't expect that I couldn't help you after being so proactive for once."

Zhiyu raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. "How come you have the time to help me with the mission now?"

"Aren't you watching TV series?"

The system let out a long sigh, "My pursuit of dramas was detected by the people in the underworld. They said I was not serious and deducted two points from me. I was told not to be lazy in the future."

Zhiyu shook his head with amusement when hearing this, "I was wondering why you suddenly became active, it turns out you were caught being lazy."

The system snorted unhappily and comforted itself: "It's okay, it's just a two-point deduction."

"Once this task is completed, the points will be returned."

When the system left, the Golden Throne Hall was already full of people kneeling.

The ministers sincerely analyzed the shortcomings of establishing Zhiyu as the crown prince to Zhao Zhen.

Trying to make Zhao Zhen realize his mistakes.

Seeing that no one in the civil, military or clan members supported him, Zhao Zhen's face gradually became heavy.

He understood that the process of establishing An'er as the heir apparent would not be easy.

But he really didn't expect that the civil and military reaction of the entire court would be so great.

But that's okay.

Making An'er the crown prince was the result of careful consideration, and he would not change his decision no matter who opposed it.

His throne can only be passed on to his An'er...

Seeing that Zhao Zhen still did not express his position after they had said so much, many ministers turned their attention to Zhiyu.

"Princess, the country is not a joke. Please persuade the emperor."

"Let the government take back its decision."

Under the heart-wrenching gazes of these ministers, Zhiyu stood quietly beside Zhao Zhen, with an expression of indifference that did not belong to her age.

"The position of crown prince means the establishment of direct descendants."

"I own both the direct descendant and the eldest son, so why do you object to me becoming the heir apparent?"

After hearing Zhiyu's words, many ministers sighed helplessly.

It is right to establish a direct descendant, but a direct descendant is a legitimate son, and an elder is the eldest son.

The princess was registered under the saint's name, but at most she was the eldest daughter. How could she be made the crown prince?

Thinking of this, an old minister stood up tremblingly and said: "Princess, this is different."

"Since ancient times, no woman has spoken for the emperor. Princess, please put yourself in the right place and don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

Hearing the old minister's words, Zhao Zhen looked very unhappy.

Covet? An'er is his daughter, his things should be left to An'er, why would An'er covet?

Zhiyu blinked and said, "Dad, how did this man become an official? It seems that his cultural level is not high."

"He said that since ancient times there has been no such thing as a woman being the emperor, but isn't the Emperor of Zetian a woman?"

"Doesn't he even know about Emperor Zetian?"

After hearing Zhiyu's words, the old minister looked very ugly.

"Empress Wu Zetian came to power illegitimately, how can she be considered a true emperor?"

After hearing the old minister's words, Zhiyu asked again: "Then Li Shimin's position is not right. Doesn't he count as an emperor?"

"And Liu Bang, he rebelled, and people who rebel must not have come to power legitimately."

"And Yang Jian, and Li Yuan..."

Seeing that Zhiyu had pointed out all the emperors who were slightly famous in history, although the ministers opposed it, their impression of Zhiyu changed a lot.

At such a young age, the princess can actually know so many emperors. It seems that she must have listened carefully during class.

It’s just a pity that such a diligent person is not a prince.

If she were a prince, how could she have so many things?

Zhiyu glanced at the people below who had different expressions on their faces, and continued, "According to what you said, except for Qin Shihuang, all the emperors in the world did not get the throne legitimately, so doesn't that mean no one is worthy of being an emperor?"

Jian Zhiyu showed no signs of stage fright on such occasions. Zhao Zhen raised his head proudly and said calmly to the crowd: "What An'er said makes sense."

"According to what the Chief Censor said, there is no other emperor of China who is legitimate except the First Emperor."

"Does this mean that in your hearts, I am not an emperor, at most I can only be regarded as a rebellious minister?"
