Chapter 582 Chitose-sama 45
However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in history, and the ministers did not hold on to it.

The minister said this in order to lead to another sentence that followed.

"Since the royal family has no blood, why not follow the example of the sages, and those who can do it?" After saying these words, he glanced at the rest of the people.

The ministers immediately understood what he meant.

They all set their sights on Xia Ying.

During this process, Lingxi kept looking at them with a cold expression.

These people played happily and didn't pay attention to Lingxi at all.

After the man finished speaking, Wang Shangshu went on to say: "Only the prime minister is the one who can talk about the ability of the Shang country."

Wang Shangshu looked at Xia Ying flatteringly: "The Prime Minister has always done his best for the Shang country. If she can't be called a capable person, this Shang country may not have suitable people."

After hearing Wang Shangshu's words, Xia Ying immediately showed a frightened expression: "Everyone is serious, doing these things for the country of Shang is voluntary. How can I use this to ask for rewards?"

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is noble and upright, and your ministers admire them. But these are not what the Prime Minister asks for, but what the Prime Minister deserves." The ministers said in unison.

Xia Ying had a troubled expression on her face.

Seeing this, those ministers said again: "My lord, please don't refuse, the future of this Shang country depends on your lord."

"Oh." Xia Ying sighed, and then said: "In that case, then I won't refuse."

Lingxi was still standing beside the dragon chair, watching indifferently.

Zhixinghao: [Host, they seem to be ignoring you. 】

These people performed so vigorously that they had completely forgotten that Lingxi was still here.

Zhixinghao said again: [Host, don't you want to do something? 】

Lingxi: [What am I going to do?They didn't talk to me. 】

Zhixinghao: [...Host, if you don't do anything else, they will all regard Xia Ying as the emperor. 】

[It's useless. 】Lingxi said calmly: 【The jade seal is in Shang Mu's hands, as long as Shang Mu disagrees, their decision is useless. 】

When Lingxi said this, Zhixing really found out that this was the case.

In an instant, its mentality changed.

Now, when Zhixing saw Xia Ying and the others, they would only think that they were clowns.

After Xia Ying and the others finished speaking, they looked at Lingxi.

"My lord Qiantui, you have also seen that the prime minister is what everyone expects." Wang Shangshu said: "You should hand over the jade seal and let the prime minister inherit the great rule."

Lingxi looked at them calmly: "Impossible."

"This is what everyone thinks. Do you want to challenge the public opinion?" Wang Shangshu said, "Or do you mean that you, an eunuch, also want to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five Lord?"

Lingxi looked at him calmly.

"The late emperor once said that eunuchs are forbidden to intervene in state affairs. Do you want to challenge the rules set by the late emperor? This is a capital offense!" Wang Shangshu emphasized his tone, every word sounded like a threat.

The expression on Lingxi's face still didn't change significantly, she asked indifferently: "Do you know what the crime of rebellion is?"

Wang Shangshu and the others turned pale: "What do you mean?"

"The rebellion is to kill the nine clans." Lingxi said calmly: "Your wives and children will all die because of your stupidity."

"Your Majesty has passed away. We are just considering the people of the Shang Kingdom and electing someone who can inherit the great line." Wang Shangshu immediately argued.

"You can't represent the people of the entire Shang country." Lingxi said calmly.

Lingxi's words made everyone speechless.

Although many emperors in ancient times said that they listened to the will of the people, they had limited conditions and it was impossible for them to really listen to the wishes of the people.This sentence has become an excuse.

Lingxi continued: "If you can't represent the thoughts of all the people in the Shang Kingdom, this is called rebellion. Do you want to be exterminated by the nine clans?"

Those people don't speak.

Xia Ying looked at Lingxi: "Then according to the adults, how should we deal with this matter? The Shang country cannot live without a king."

"You don't have to worry about these, you just need to do your own thing well." Lingxi said calmly.

Xia Ying squinted her eyes: "My lord said that we can't represent the meaning of all the people of the Shang country, but what about my lord? Listening to what my lord said, could it be that just wanting one person decides the future master of the Shang country?"

Lingxi: "The jade seal is in my hand."

Lingxi successfully blocked all Xia Ying's words with such a sentence.

She looked at Lingxi and was very angry, but she couldn't say anything.

Lingxi can say such things calmly, but Xia Ying can't, she doesn't want to be scolded by the world.

Lingxi glanced at them, and then said: "If you have nothing to say, then retreat."

Most of these people are just decorations, so there is nothing to say.

So Lingxi turned and left.

After Lingxi left, Wang Shangshu walked to Xia Ying's side: "Master Prime Minister, look, this Louxi is too arrogant. His Majesty just let him participate in politics temporarily, so he doesn't take us seriously."

Xia Ying was feeling restless in her heart. After hearing Wang Shangshu's words, she looked sideways at Wang Shangshu: "Listening to Wang Shangshu's meaning, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with Lord Chitose?"

Wang Shangshu couldn't figure out what Xia Ying meant, so he didn't speak.

What Xia Ying dislikes the most is flatterers like Wang Shangshu, it makes her sick just looking at them.

But just now, Wang Shangshu was speaking for her anyway, so Xia Ying didn't express her deepest thoughts.

She continued: "To be honest, Lord Qiantose's actions are indeed inappropriate, but she is someone arranged by His Majesty after all. Therefore, even if Wang Shangshu is dissatisfied in his heart, it is better not to make it too obvious."

After Wang Shangshu heard this, he finally felt that he understood what Xia Ying meant.

He nodded: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for reminding me, I will remember it in my heart."

Xia Ying nodded and hurried away.

She was worried that if she looked at Wang Shangshu's fleshy face again, she would not be able to help kicking him.

After three days like this, Xia Ying finally couldn't bear it anymore.

She let Lu Jing follow her and entered the palace.

Let Lu Jing be with her because Xia Ying is still afraid of Lingxi in her heart.

At this time Lingxi was in Shang Mu's bedroom.

Shang Mu, who was already 'dead', was sitting on the bed and reading the script.

Upon hearing the eunuch's voice, Shang Mu immediately stood up, and then lay back in the coffin.

Lingxi got up and went to open the door.

The person outside is Xia Ying.

When Lingxi opened the door, Xia Ying took a look inside.

Shang Mu died in Xiqi, even if the body was well preserved, after so many days, there must be some problems.

For example, it stinks.

However, when Lingxi opened it just now, Xia Ying could only smell the scent of incense in the room.

Of course, it may also be because the smell of the incense is too strong, overwhelming the smell of the corpse.
