Quick Travel: The Story of Your Highness's Pampering of Her Husband

Chapter 194 Her Royal Highness is resigning (38)

Ye Hai and Ye Tao, because they had received the news about their niece in advance, could only drink tea calmly at the moment, and they could hold it very well.

Xuanyuan Xi let them discuss it for a few minutes, then clapped her hands. After everyone became quiet again, she fixed her gaze on the clan.

He said respectfully: "Old Prince Rongqin, what should the Queen do next in this situation? As the most senior and most respected elder in the royal family, please give us some advice."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the old prince Rongqin. She raised her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Xi, then looked around, taking in all the expressions on everyone's faces.

At this point, she knew everything, but she was the first to speak.

After sighing deeply, the old prince said: "Our clan is deeply saddened by your Majesty's situation."

"However, the country cannot live without a king for a day. Since the queen is like this, it is urgent to elect a new king."

Someone spoke, and all the ministers immediately started shouting.

The people who elected the second princess were the forces headed by the Prime Minister.

It was the officials headed by the chief minister of the cabinet who elected the three princesses.

The people who recommended the Fourth Princess were the subordinates of the General Hussar.

The wives of the princes argued so hard that their faces turned red. You praised a good thing, and I complained about a shortcoming. In short, no one accepted the other.

Of course, those who made the noise were all the lower-level people, the real bosses. They were all sitting quietly drinking tea, as if it had nothing to do with them, as if they were not in any hurry.

Huangfu'an's face turned dark when he heard the minister said that she was too weak to live past thirty and that a short-lived person could not inherit the throne.

As for Huangfu Qing and Huangfu Chen, one was said to be scholarly and too weak, while the other was said to be impulsive and reckless, unable to take on big responsibilities, and both of them looked ugly.

During the whole process, only the concubine group stayed calm and watched the show quietly.

Seeing Huangfu'an's face so dark that ink dripped from his face, Xuanyuan Xi couldn't help but sneer in his heart, asking you to pretend to be sick, look, it's backfired!

Huangfu'an was also helpless. After all, she had just asked the imperial doctor some time ago, and now she suddenly said that she was well. Wasn't she blatantly telling others that she was pretending to be ill?

Originally, according to the plan, the Queen Mother should find a miracle doctor for her. After half a year of nursing care, she recovered.

But now, the Queen Mother is unconscious, and it's really not easy for her to function alone.

After quietly admiring the vandal's annoyance for half a quarter of an hour, Xuanyuan Xi finally got tired of the noise of the group below. She clapped her hands again to silence everyone.

"This is the royal study, not the market. How can you behave in such a noisy manner among the ministers?"

After everyone was standing or sitting, but all calmed down, Xuanyuan Xi looked at the old prince and said, "You keep talking, what do you think if you continue to make such a noise?"

The old prince Rongqin looked Xuanyuan Xi up and down, and suddenly remembered that she was wandering on the street a few days ago, and accidentally met this princess. After a deep conversation, he knew that this person was a true emperor's talent.

At that time, she felt that this princess not only had great ambitions, but also had a heart that loved the people like a son, and had the image of a wise king. She felt very happy to have such a princess in Biyun Kingdom.

Thinking of this, the old prince suddenly made up his mind. Anyway, the other party was Her Royal Highness. It was only logical and reasonable for the emperor to abdicate and the princess to ascend the throne.

So, under the gaze of everyone, she looked seriously at Aunt Zhao, who had been serving as the backdrop, and said: "Aunt Zhao, you have been serving His Majesty. Did she leave any edicts or anything like that? , instruct her which princess will take the throne in a hundred years?"

Under the glare of everyone's eyes and Huangfu'an's ardent expectations, Aunt Zhao took two steps forward, lowered her head and replied: "Your Majesty has never informed this slave of the imperial edict."

There is no imperial edict!

Not only were the ministers not disappointed after hearing this, but they were very excited, because this meant that the princess they supported had a greater chance of ascending to the throne.

Because of the Queen's deliberate concealment, everyone except the Second Princess believed that His Majesty's favorite heir was Her Royal Highness.

Now that there is no imperial edict, they can pick a thorn and prevent the princess from ascending to the throne!

Regardless of the different thoughts of the ministers, the old prince turned to look at the prime minister, the chief minister, the general of the country and other important ministers above the first rank, and said: "His Majesty has not given any orders to the clan. I wonder how many adults can Have you received instructions from His Majesty?"

The people named shook their heads.

The old prince emphasized again and said: "Today you all say that there is no imperial edict, so in the future, no matter what the situation is, no matter whether the edict is true or false, my clan will not recognize it!"

"My lords, please think carefully before answering."

Several people still shook their heads.

Although they really want to promote the princess they support to the throne, forging an imperial edict is not an easy task, especially in such a short period of time. Where can they get a copy of the edict that is fake and authentic?

It's all because your majesty's illness came so quickly and caught them off guard.

The old prince paused for a minute, leaving a gap for everyone. After no one came forward, she said loudly: "Since Your Majesty has not left any will, then, as the crown prince, Your Highness should inherit the throne. .”

Without waiting for anyone else to refute, the old prince Rongqin knelt down directly, bowed down to Xuanyuan Xi, and said loudly: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne!"

Ye Hai and Ye Tao also reacted very quickly. They immediately knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne!"

At this moment, more than half of the generals knelt down and shouted in agreement: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne!"

Then, many old ministers also knelt down. They belonged to the royalist party and supported the orthodox faction, so they also agreed with the fact that they were the direct descendants and the concubines of his majesty.

Then, many civil servants also knelt down and worshiped. They had heard about Her Highness's talent and learning, so after assessing the situation, it was naturally more appropriate to support Her Highness, who valued scholars.

Looking at it this way, more than two-thirds of the people present supported the crown prince's ascension to the throne.

Huangfu Qing and Huangfu Chen may have already made assumptions in their minds, so they were not too surprised at this time, but they were still a little unwilling to be able to take the position.

This is normal. After all, a princess who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good princess.

In comparison, Huangfu'an's face looked very ugly, turning from black at the bottom of the pot to eggplant purple. Xuanyuan Xi felt that when her blood pressure increased, she would be so angry that her capillaries would burst.

Of course, if it really gets violent, Xuanyuan Xi just doesn't care.

She looked at the ministers who were kneeling together and shouting in unison, and nodded with satisfaction.

It was not in vain that she had spent more than two months running around the capital trying to win over people's hearts!

Especially the old prince Rongqin. She originally just wanted to seek support from him, but she didn't expect that he would actually stand up for her. It was more appropriate for him to take the lead than the Ye family.

Xuanyuan Xi doesn't care about the hypocritical drama of repeated refusals and repeated requests. Today, she will confirm her identity as the queen!

So, she walked directly to the dragon chair behind the imperial court and stood still. After everyone calmed down, she said: "I am very grateful for your support. In the future, I will definitely not fall into the great legacy of my ancestors and work with all the ministers." Let’s work together to achieve peace!”

Xuanyuan Xi played a little trick, and every word she spoke was filled with a hint of inner strength, which made her sound more convincing.

"The emperor is seriously ill, but the affairs of the country and the people's livelihood cannot be delayed. In addition, there are foreign enemies watching, so today I will no longer refuse and directly succeed to the throne as emperor!"

"According to my decree, the enthronement ceremony will be held in three days. The Ceremony Department will prepare immediately and keep everything simple."

The Minister of Rites immediately responded, "I obey your Majesty's will. Long live, long live, long live my emperor."

The rest of the people also shouted "Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"

The prime minister and the chief minister originally wanted to object, but Xuanyuan Xi directly confirmed his identity as emperor in a few words, and was recognized by most of the courtiers.

Although they felt depressed, they never thought that the huge matter of inheriting the throne would be decided so easily, but the situation was over, and if they carried it on, the result would definitely be unsatisfactory.

After all, the other party is now not just a princess, but an emperor who holds imperial power and sits on the dragon throne.

Especially, even if they want to resist, they don't have military power in their hands!

As a result, several people looked at each other and could only temporarily compromise. They also knelt down and shouted long live.

Xuanyuan Xi sat down on the dragon chair with satisfaction, and said "flat body" condescendingly.
