Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 9: The ministers who immediately gave in, the swords of the literati killed without bloodshed
This sudden reversal made Zhan Doudou and the Queen Mother a little confused. No, were they just going to give in like that?

Don't they usually want to hit their heads against the pillars and make themselves famous forever? Why do they just give in now?

This is somewhat different from what they know.

The two of them were in a daze and the ministers were very anxious. They thought they were really angry and were planning a rebellion.

The clever minister looked at Chen Luo standing in front of him, his eyes immediately lit up, and he kowtowed and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I beg you, the Queen Mother. This woman has the fate of a Phoenix Queen as described by National Master Ku He. She has great fortune. If she is made Queen, she will surely bless the destiny of our Northern Qi!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you, the Queen Mother, to make the Phoenix girl your queen!!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you, the Queen Mother, to make the Phoenix girl your queen!!"

At this moment, their desire to survive was full. Once one of them spoke, the others immediately followed.

Although they knew that if Zhan Doudou was really angry he would not kill them all, then there would be no one left in the court of Northern Qi.

But it is still possible to kill a few people. No one knows whether the knife will fall on their neck, so they can only compromise!
"Phoenix Girl? Oh, what a nice name."

Chen Luo looked at these ministers kneeling on the ground without much feeling in his heart. There were indeed some old foxes among these people, but most of them were people who curry favor with the powerful.

These people are nothing to be afraid of, he has plenty of ways to deal with them.

The more troublesome ones are the real big guys, such as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, Zhuang Mohan, a great literary figure of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the teacher of all the literati in the world.

In Northern Qi, the Shangwen government, Zhuang Mohan held a very important position. There was even a chair specially placed for him in the court. Such favor was unique in Northern Qi!

The scholar's knife kills without shedding blood, but he is not worried about Zhuang Mohan, but is a little troubled by Uesugi Tiger.

As the number one man in the Northern Qi military, Uesugi Tora, known as the God of War, even if Uesugi Tora is now a toothless tiger in Shangjing City, he is still a tiger!

Uesugi Tora's prestige in the army was enough to touch the emperor's bottom line, but there was nothing they could do about him.

If something happened to Uesugi Tora in Shangjing City, the more than 200,000 strong border troops would inevitably riot. Although they would not be able to overthrow Northern Qi, they would also severely damage Northern Qi's foundation!

Uesugi Tora is currently the biggest trouble for Northern Qi. Either they have to find a way to kill him and ensure that the border troops do not riot, or they have to subdue him.

Chen Luo is more inclined to the latter, but he also knows that this is difficult and it is too early to think about it now.

"My dear Qi, please take your men down. These are the backbones of our Northern Qi. How could anyone possibly rebel?" Zhan Doudou said half sarcastically and half playfully.

As soon as she said this, Qi Yu immediately took the order and left. The feeling of being pricked by a thorn in the back disappeared, and the ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Several older ministers collapsed to the ground.

But Zhan Doudou didn't let them get up. No matter how tired they were, they could only kneel on the ground.

Looking at these ministers who used to be aggressive now, Zhan Doudou felt relieved. This is what it feels like to be an emperor!
Zhan Doudou, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and said, "Announce the decree, establish Chen Luo, the Phoenix Girl of Heaven, as the queen, and hold a ceremony to crown her after the New Year!"

Zhan Doudou was in high spirits at this time, and he did not even ask the empress dowager for her opinion when issuing the decree.

But no one dared to say anything. All the ministers, regardless of which faction they came from, kowtowed in unison: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. This is a blessing for Northern Qi!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!!"

The empress dowager behind the curtain watched this scene, and she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She felt relieved that her child had finally grown up, but also a little scared, as if something was beyond her control.

The Queen Mother took a deep look at Chen Luo below her, and said to Haitang Duoduo who had returned to her side without her knowing: "Tell him to come see me after the court session!" "I am tired, I will leave first."

After saying that, she stood up and left with the palace maid, leaving Haitang Duoduo standing there looking at the figure outside.

Even though there was a curtain between them, she could still clearly see Chen Luo's face with her ninth-grade cultivation.

After not seeing him for one night, he seemed to be more handsome, and there was something strange going on.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Phoenix girl Chen Luo, who has great fortune, is beautiful, behaves dignified, and is virtuous, is hereby appointed Empress, holding the Phoenix Seal and commanding the six palaces. I decree this!"

As the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, the system's voice sounded in Chen Luo's mind at the right time.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task and receiving a reward: a special lottery! ]

Chen Luo's eyes lit up, and the worries in his heart disappeared instantly. Before, he was a little worried that this task required others to recognize him as the queen.

I didn't expect that just an imperial edict would be enough. This is also a pleasant surprise.

Thinking of the imperial edict, his eyes couldn't help but look at the triumphant Zhan Doudou. If he remembered correctly, she had promised to solve all the problems before.

As a result, he was blamed for such a big thing just after he came up. What a scumbag she is, she doesn't keep any promises!

Good that he remembered this. Even if Zhan Doudou fainted from crying tonight, he would not stop!

"Long live His Majesty, and long live the Queen!"

The rest of the time was filled with congratulations and flattery from the ministers, with one or two occasional memorials about internal strife and factional disputes.

Even with what happened today, there are still many factions in the court, among which Zhan Doudou's faction and the Queen Mother's faction are the strongest.

The rest were neutral, such as Zhuang Mohan's students. Because Northern Qi did not value martial arts, military generals had little say in the court, with the exception of Uesugi Tora.

There are also some who have not taken sides and don’t know which way to lean towards, among them is Shenzhong.

If Zhan Doudou wants to take power completely, he must take drastic measures and use thundering means to kill people and cause rivers of blood to flow, otherwise there is no hope at all.

······
Ganlu Palace, Pepper House.

The Pepper Room was the residence of the empress during the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was closest to where the emperor lived and was also the largest and most luxurious hall among the six palaces.

Although the ceremony of enthroning the queen has not yet been held, the edict of enthronement has been announced to the world, so it is reasonable for Chen Luo to live here.

As soon as he entered the palace, Chen Luo dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, and only reminded them: "Come to me at the hour of You. No one can enter without my permission at other times!"

Youshi is six o'clock in the afternoon, which is almost the end of the day. As for why we call him Youshi?

He is still remembering the account of Zhan Doudou!

Although the palace maids and eunuchs were curious, they did not dare to ask more questions. They all agreed and left.

After making sure that there was no one in the Pepper Room, Chen Luo sat on the chaise longue and checked the rewards.

"System, use special lottery!"
