After breaking the leg of a powerful minister, I begged him to be regent

He came over and stared at Chu Yanting blankly after understanding, "But I'm a man..."

Chu Yanting wanted to be emperor, Xie Honggui did not object.After all, judging from the current situation, Chu Yanting is the most suitable candidate for emperor, and he is expected to be the emperor.

However, to Xie Honggui's surprise, Chu Yanting wanted him to be the queen. Throughout the dynasties, he had never heard of a man being the queen.

However, Chu Yanting didn't take it seriously, and gently rubbed his hand, "Don't say that there is no rule in etiquette that there can be no male queen, even if it is stipulated, I am the emperor, what can they do to me?"

……

At the gate of the Chu Mansion, headed by Right Minister Xue Ming, Minister of the Household Department Jin Baoyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Han Shizu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry Liu Yizhi and others are standing outside the gate, confronting Qilin and Qiao Fei.

"My lords, what's wrong with Master Chu? Can't we even go in and have a look?" Xue Ming stood at the door, frowning and looking inside the door a few times.

Qiao Fei is impatient, "How many times have we said it, why haven't you understood? My lord is gone!"

Jin Baoyuan asked with a smile: "This is not possible! There are still many important matters in the court waiting for Mr. Chu to decide!"

Qiao Fei frowned, "Didn't you see that everyone is sick? How can you have the energy to deal with it? Besides! You officials can't make decisions? Why do you want him to go in person?"

Jin Baoyuan smiled and said, "My lord, you don't know! Many important matters in the court can only be decided by Mr. Chu himself. We, without his order, dare not make rash decisions."

In fact, since the death of the little emperor, Chu Yanting has been the most authoritative person in the court.Even if they ignored him and the partnership was decided, many of the servants below, no matter if they were officials or officials, would only recognize Chu Yanting's seal. Therefore, without Chu Yanting's mediation, many government affairs could only be shelved.

And... Jin Baoyuan and Xue Ming glanced at each other.Chu Yanting said that the illness and injury in the past few days are really weird. Not only are people not allowed to visit, they can't even enter the gate of Chu's mansion. It has to make people suspect that Chu's mansion is not normal.

Qiao Fei was about to spar for [-] rounds, Qilin stretched out his hand and said directly: "Masters, please go back."

Jin Baoyuan originally thought that there are so many people today, so he would not be fooled by so many people, but he did not expect that the Chu Mansion could really do it, shutting out so many court officials, and let them meet firmly. up the wall.

The two teams refused to give way to anyone, and Jin Baoyuan and his party refused to leave.Even if Qilin threatened with force, they would not move.There is no way, the country cannot live without a king. If Chu Yanting continues to ignore it, not only will the domestic rebels make trouble everywhere, but even the border troubles that have just stabilized will come back.

Seeing that the two little adults were talking badly, Xue Ming and the others had no choice but to support their half-old and half-mortal bodies, and knocked on the door with a club.

"Master Chu, open the door!"

"Lord Chu! You haven't come out for three days. There are many court affairs waiting for you to deal with!"

"..."

A group of people crowded at the door and couldn't be driven away. Qiao Fei was spitting, and Qilin rubbed the center of his brows, feeling really headache.

It would be fine if this group of people were ordinary people, he threw out a sack each, but these people are important officials of the court, if something happened, wouldn't it cause trouble for Master Chu?

When Qilin was thinking about how to drive this group of people away with dignity, there was a very familiar voice from inside the gate.

"Open the door! Let the adults come in!"

Chu Yanting!

The adults were stunned for a moment, and then said viciously to Qilin and Qiao Fei: "Did you hear that! Your Master Chu told you to open the door!"

Qiao Fei, who had been the gatekeeper for a long time, was very upset, and secretly said in his heart: "What's the matter with this man? Don't you know His Majesty is in there? What if these old men find out?"

But turn around and think about it, maybe His Majesty has already hidden somewhere else, so this person surnamed Chu dared to let someone in.

Qilin gestured to the guards guarding the gate with a glance, and asked them to open the gate.

The door opened slowly, and a man with long hair and a black robe stood slowly.

Chu Yanting smiled harmlessly, "My lords have been waiting for a long time, let's go into the back room and discuss in detail."

Qiao Fei glanced around quietly, but he did not see His Majesty, could it be that he was really hiding?

With His Majesty's honor of ninety-five years, he actually committed himself to hiding quietly, Qiao Fei was secretly angry, and felt wronged for His Majesty!

……

In the meeting hall of the Chu Mansion, Chu Yanting retreated the crowd and let the ministers take their seats.

"Since all the people who should come have come, let's say everything that needs to be said." Chu Yanting put on his robe and looked at them solemnly.

Have you said everything you need to say?All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking for a moment that Chu Yanting was referring to the important government affairs accumulated in the past few days.

Xue Ming solemnly said: "There are a lot of government affairs, and many things are urgently dealt with, so we have to trouble Mr. Chu. If we know about you, Mr. Chu..." Xue Ming raised his head and glanced at Chu Yanting. The look in front of him really looks like a serious illness played a game.It seems that the news of Chu Yanting's illness is indeed true.

"We dare not bother you, my lord."

"Is there nothing else besides political affairs?" Chu Yanting stared at them with sharp eyes.

"Other things?" Xue Ming looked at Jin Baoyuan, and then said cautiously: "Since Mr. Chu is inconvenient, other things can be discussed at another time."

"Another day?" Chu Yanting looked at them straight, "Are you sure you can wait?"

"This..." Xue Ming thought about it, and speaking of it, this matter really can't wait.

"Since you can't wait, let's settle it today." Chu Yanting looked around at all the ministers, and suddenly asked, "How is your discussion going on the emperor's candidate? Is there any result? Let's hear it."

Hearing what Chu Yanting said about the candidate for the emperor, all the officials were speechless.A few days before the little emperor passed away, they almost agreed that Chu Yanting was the best candidate to sit on the dragon chair, but Chu Yanting kept saying wait.Slowly, they lost their patience. Now that Chu Yanting suddenly brought up this matter, could it be that he has a suitable candidate in mind?

Xue Ming said: "My lord, we have indeed discussed the issue of the candidate for the throne these days, but after all, we have not found a suitable one. We all still insist that you are the best choice. Besides, except you , we really can't think of anyone who is more qualified than you. If you want to recommend someone else to be the emperor, I think, let alone me, other ministers probably won't agree."

When everyone thought that Chu Yanting would rather find a puppet than become the emperor, they saw that the person in the seat frowned, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up, revealing a satisfied smile, "Who said I'm going to recommend someone else?"

Everyone looked up in surprise.

Chu Yanting said in his usual unhurried voice: "This emperor, I can do it."

Being an emperor is not an easy task, especially with the example of "Xie Honggui". The position of emperor is a hot potato, and whoever gets it will be unlucky.

Taking a step back, if Chu Yanting does not accept this hot potato, and just anyone stands up and says that he wants to be the emperor, the spittle of opposition can drown people.In addition, it is necessary to ensure that there is a strong military force capable of resisting the rebels.Let me ask, besides Chu Yanting, who came back from the frontier to fight against Di, who else has such a powerful military force.

In addition, in addition to the [-] troops who came back from the frontier, Chu Yanting has already taken over the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops from His Majesty Longyu Bintian.

Even though Chu Yanting is not the candidate for the throne that everyone expects, as long as he covets the throne, who can oppose it, no one in the whole country has the strength to fight against Chu Yanting.

Therefore, the officials of the imperial court are also aware of current affairs, and they chose the same camp as Chu Yanting early on.

Originally, they also wanted to persuade Chu Yanting to be the emperor, but now that Chu Yanting himself has this wish, they are of course happy to see it.

Xue Ming stood up and said, "My lord, it's really great that you have such an idea!"

"Yes!" "Great!" "Xiao Guo needs someone like you, Mr. Chu!"

Chu Yanting chuckled, he doesn't know if Xiao Guo needs it, but now he really needs the position of emperor.

"However, I have to say first, I have become the emperor, then, some things must only be obeyed by me."

These ministers have been with Chu Yanting for many years. They are very clear about Chu Yanting's character. Chu Yanting has done the most excessive things. Even if he is criticized by others, it is only because the methods are too vicious, but the ultimate goal is to think about the common people. It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad.So in their view, these small worries are really insignificant compared to the currently vacant throne.

Jin Baoyuan narrowed his eyes, "Of course, you are the emperor, so naturally you have the final say."

Chu Yanting straightened his expression and looked at them seriously, "Well, I will tell you now that I want to marry a man and make him a queen."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the ministers under the seat changed one after another.

"What... the male queen?"

"It means the queen is a man?"

"This……"

At present, some old scholars who respect etiquette and law can't hold back anymore. Liu Yizhi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, usually can't understand Chu Yanting's demeanor. Just now when the ministers were flattering him, he didn't say a word. Now he finally found a chance to vent his anger. He scolded angrily: "Ridiculous! How can the queen be a man?! You can't extend your heirs without mentioning it, it's against yin and yang!"
