Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 455: Imperial Decree: Nian Shilan is made Queen

It seems that now, Nian Shilan's succession to queen is secured.

At night, the emperor did not go to that palace, but returned to the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor hasn't set foot in the harem for more than half a month.

These concubines were waiting for the emperor's arrival like women waiting for rain after a long drought.

"Su Peisheng, call Zhang Tingyu over tomorrow."

The emperor muttered silently.

He was determined in his heart to make Nian Shilan the empress, and as Zhang Tingyu was a veteran of two dynasties, this matter would be easier to implement if he had his support.

"Yes."

The next morning, Su Peisheng hurried to do as the emperor ordered.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

When Zhang Tingyu came over, the emperor had been waiting in the Yangxin Palace for a long time.

"Now that Empress Yixiu has been deposed, I intend to appoint a new empress. What do you think, my dear?"

The emperor knew what Zhang Tingyu would say, but he tried to test it anyway.

It can also be regarded as laying some foundation for what I will say next.

"The new queen?!"

After hearing this, Zhang Tingyu's eyes widened unconsciously. It was simply unbelievable.

absurd!

But after all, these words came from the emperor's mouth. It seems that the emperor already has this idea. All I can do is to persuade him, but the final decision is still in the hands of the emperor.

I hope the emperor can listen to me.

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

The emperor had expected this result a long time ago. In fact, he called Zhang Tingyu here today just to persuade him: "Why? Tell me why, my dear."

"First, the Empress Dowager has just passed away, so it is not appropriate to confer a title on her. Second, I think there is no suitable candidate in the Emperor's harem. Third, Ulanara has not committed any serious crime, so the Emperor should restore her to the position of Empress."

Zhang Tingyu listed three of them one by one.

However, these were the conditions that he considered to be unacceptable for establishing a queen, but in the emperor's mind, nothing was impossible.

"My dear minister, you are right, but what if I insist on establishing a queen?"

The emperor's words were obviously somewhat aggressive.

Zhang Tingyu was choked and speechless.

Yes, the emperor has already said so, so my dissuasion today will probably be useless.

"The Queen Mother passed away not long ago, but the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the same goes for the harem. I'm sure that even if the Queen Mother were still here, she would say the same thing. As my mother, the Queen Mother must understand my difficulties. It's not that I'm unfilial. Secondly, I think that Concubine Hua can take on this important task. Thirdly, do you know what crime the Ulanara family has committed? Or did you accept some benefits, and I have been trying to explain it for the Ulanara family, or do you have any collusion with my harem?!"

The emperor seemed to be getting angry as he spoke.

Collusion?

Zhang Tingyu really wanted to laugh after hearing this. As a veteran of two dynasties, he dared to guarantee with his own life that he had absolutely nothing to do with the harem.

I am not a mean person who is greedy for money.

But it is really disheartening that the emperor has wronged me so much.

"Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that I am absolutely innocent."

Zhang Tingyu hurriedly explained, and at the same time, he felt only disappointment towards the emperor in front of him.

"Forget it, forget it. I have made up my mind. Concubine Hua has a gentle personality, is kind both inside and out, is filial to the Queen Mother, and takes care of her young son. She is truly a model mother of the country."

The emperor now only sees the good in Nian Shilan. I'm afraid he won't listen to anything Zhang Tingyu says.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Have you forgotten Nian Gengyao? Concubine Hua is his sister."

Zhang Tingyu thought that now that Nian Gengyao was dead, how could his sister let it go? The Nian family were all strong-willed people, but now that Nian Shilan was still able to serve the emperor so devotedly, Zhang Tingyu was really worried.

"Nian Gengyao is dead, my dear, what else do you have to worry about? Besides, Shilan is different. She is sincere to me, and she truly loves me, thinks about me, and helps me solve my problems!"

The emperor has no worries now. Asking Zhang Tingyu to come over is a discussion, to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, it is a notification.

Zhang Tingyu said a lot, but did the emperor listen to any of his words?

"emperor......"

Zhang Tingyu looked at him, fearing that the emperor was possessed by a demon. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the emperor: "No need to say more, you can leave, I have made up my mind!"

Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Zhang Tingyu knelt down to pay his respects.

Before she even stepped out of the palace, the imperial edict came down to make Nian Shilan the queen, and the enthronement ceremony would be held in two days.

After hearing the news, Zhang Tingyu found it ridiculous because he was obviously a censor.

Advise the king on his mistakes and advise his ministers on their faults.

But now it seems that I, as a censor, am just a decoration.

Nian Shilan knew early on that Zhang Tingyu would enter the palace today. Although she didn't know what he was going to do, she also informed Zhao Zhiyuan early.

"Master Zhang!"

As soon as I walked out of the palace, I heard someone calling me from behind.

When I turned around, it was Guwalgiya Emin!

"Master Zhang, where are you going? Are you being criticized by the Emperor?"

E Min asked casually, as if he was trying to find out something.

"Don't mention it. The imperial edict has just been issued. I'm sure you've heard it."

What Zhang Tingyu was referring to was naturally the matter of Nian Shilan becoming queen.

E Min understood as soon as he heard it. It seemed that Zhang Tingyu felt that it was inappropriate, but the emperor did not listen to his advice.

But I came here just for this matter.

"Master Zhang, just let it go. Now that Empress Ulanara has been deposed, the harem is going to change. It's an irresistible trend. Why don't you choose a good place to live? The harem and the previous dynasty are closely connected. Master Zhang doesn't have to do this. Think about your wife and children. We are all old now, and it's time to think about a peaceful life."

E Min persuaded.

Zhang Tingyu snorted disdainfully, but it had to be said that what E Min said made sense.

Although he said it with disdain, he still took it to heart.

Thinking about what the emperor had just done about him, he felt chilled. He had been honest and diligent all his life, and a veteran of two dynasties, but he never expected that he would still be suspected by the emperor.

It’s really ridiculous!

Zhang Tingyu said nothing and left without looking back.

But E Min could see that Zhang Tingyu was somewhat moved.

Zhou Ninghai saw all of this and immediately reported it with Nian Shilan.

"Emin?!"

Nian Shilan reacted for a moment, then smiled again: "I didn't expect that Zhao Zhiyuan is so capable that he even managed to win over E Min. But you tell him that he is just being used. After all, my brother's affairs are closely related to him."

"As for the rest, let's talk about it after I am crowned Queen and grow older!"
