The burial ceremony lasted for several days.

Kyoto gradually returned to calm.

People started their normal lives.

Officials also resumed their previous rhythm.

In the palace at this time, there was a sense of chilling in the calmness.

Like the moment of calm before the storm!

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

early morning.

Wu Lingzhao sat on the top seat and looked at the officials.

Beside her is a dragon chair.

empty.

At this time, no one dared to sit, and no one could sit.

The ministers stood at the bottom, bowing their heads slightly.

No one dared to look straight into the eyes of the Holy Queen!

"Holy Queen, the country cannot live without a king!"

Right Prime Minister Li Fulin stood up, "The most urgent thing is to establish a new monarch first, and then discuss state affairs!"

"Okay, tell me your opinion."

Wu Lingzhao glanced at Li Fulin and nodded slightly.

"I think King Qin is the most suitable candidate!"

Li Fulin straightened his back and raised his head, "The king of Qin is brave and brave. He managed Qinzhou to be rich and stable, and he is widely loved by the people."

"Ah."

Wu Lingzhao glanced at the officials again, "Who has a different opinion?"

"My minister has objections."

A person stood up behind Li Fulin.

His name is Wei Zhe, he is Yushi Zhongcheng, and he is responsible for supervising all officials.

"Master Wei, please speak."

Wu Lingzhao raised his hand.

"Weichen thinks King Zhao is the most suitable!"

Wei Zhe said: "King Zhao is wise and benevolent, and he has the legacy of the previous emperor. In Zhaozhou these years, people live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't pick up things on the road. It's all thanks to King Zhao."

"Okay, I see, who else has any objections?"

Wu Lingzhao nodded and looked at the officials.

"Reporting to the Holy Empress, King Qin and King Zhao are good candidates, but I have better candidates."

The head of civil servants, Shangguan Yao who stood at the front stood up.

"Oh?"

There was brilliance in Wu Lingzhao's eyes, "Quickly tell me?"

"My minister thinks Her Royal Highness is the most suitable."

Shangguan Yao said loudly: "The reason is very simple. Her Royal Highness is the only blood of the late emperor. No one has the qualifications except her!"

"what?"

Shangguan Yao's words stunned all the ministers.

They even forgot that this was above the imperial court, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Both Li Fulin and Wei Zhe raised their heads, looked at Shangguan Yao's back, and began to think, thinking about it, they both lost their minds.

"Well, your proposal is very good!"

Wu Lingzhao nodded approvingly, she first expressed her attitude.

"Holy Empress! Absolutely not! This is against the ancestral system!"

Someone stood up.

"Yes, Holy Queen! There has never been such a precedent in the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years!"

"Think twice, Holy Queen!"

"If a woman becomes emperor, it will ruin the country's fortunes!"

"If you don't agree with reason, the world will not tolerate it!"

More ministers stood up and expressed their opposition.

"To shut up!"

Wu Lingzhao yelled angrily, and shook his sleeves, "You are pedantic!"

The ministers were so frightened that they quickly shut up.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony instantly fell silent.

"General Li, what do you think?"

Wu Lingzhao looked at the head of the general, the man standing in front of the general.

Li Jing, the military god of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

He once expanded the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and made countless military exploits!

Now he holds 80 soldiers!Defend Kyoto!

He is the Dinghaishenzhen of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!

With him, the Great Zhou Dynasty will stand still!

Now, his words are worth the weight of all civil servants.

Because he can represent all generals.

As long as he speaks, all generals will listen!

"After returning to the Holy Spirit, I will support Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Jing turned his head, looked at the generals behind him, and shouted: "Who will we fight for from now on?"

"your Highness!"

All the generals responded in unison.

The sound was like thunder, shaking the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.

All the civil servants were so frightened that their expressions changed and they bowed their heads in silence.

"it is good!"

Wu Lingzhao heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Jing is her biggest support!

No matter when, military power is the most important.

As long as you get the support of the generals, this matter will be considered a success!

But if she wanted her daughter to become emperor, she had to be justified.

Wu Lingzhao took out an imperial edict and handed it to the little eunuch beside him.

"Read!"

"Yes."

The little eunuch took the edict and read it aloud.

"The emperor's edict said, after a hundred years, the princess Li Zhuowan will be the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she will be the emperor, and the empress will be honored as the empress dowager. The affairs of the monarchy will be completely handled by the empress dowager. Ministers can carry out this edict and announce it to the world to support the new king, and anyone who sees this edict will feel like I am here in person."

The officials had already knelt down on the ground, shouting in unison.

"Long live my emperor!"

"That's it!"

Wu Lingzhao stood up and looked around the group of officials, "Choose an auspicious day for the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor Li Zhuowan!"

"Yes!"

The generals agreed in unison.

Several civil servants headed by Shang Guanyao also agreed together.

After the other civil servants got up, they looked at each other in blank dismay, at a loss.

"Holy Queen!"

Li Fulin stood up and was about to speak when Wu Lingzhao shook his sleeves.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again! Retire!"

Wu Lingzhao turned around and left, not giving anyone another chance to speak.
