Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen laughed wildly.

"For the sake of the country?"

"My daughter Zhao An is a man of both civil and military talents. She is considerate and cares about the world."

"I originally said that I wanted to make him the crown prince, but none of you agreed."

"Now you say that you are considering the country?"

"Do you believe what I said?"

"If you really want to protect the country, why didn't you agree to make her the crown prince?"

"Sir, the princess is a woman, and a woman can now become the crown prince."

Zhao Zhen sneered, "So what if she's a woman."

"She is my bloodline, she is qualified to be the crown prince."

Hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Lord Chen's face was gloomy, "Sir, since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the crown prince."

"Emperor Wu Zetian did not appoint Princess Taiping as the heir when she was the emperor, so you cannot do that now."

"The royal family is prosperous and has many talented people. The government must choose the successor from among them."

Zhao Zhen pointed the sword in his hand directly at Lord Chen's heart, "Since you like the royal family's children so much, I will give you one."

"Come here, take the orphan Zhao Yu from the royal family and adopt him under the name of Lord Chen."

"From now on, Zhao Yu is the eldest son of Master Chen. After Master Chen dies, all of his property will be inherited by the Zhao clan."

After saying this, Zhao Zhen glanced at the guards of the Imperial City Division with a cold look.

After receiving Zhao Zhen's gaze, the people from the Imperial City Bureau immediately took Lord Chen away and processed the adoption arrangements for him.

After seeing what Zhao Zhen did, the other ministers couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs. If they continued to persuade him, would the emperor also adopt members of the royal family to them?

"Come here, send someone to tell Zhao Shu that he has the final say on many matters on the battlefield."

"The search for the princess cannot stop. I want to see her alive or dead."

"Yes, official."

After giving the orders, Zhao Zhen looked at the other court officials with a crazy look.

"Do you also want to persuade me to appoint a crown prince?"

After meeting Zhao Zhen's sharp gaze, the censor Bao Zheng stood up frankly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The war is intense at the front and the country is in turmoil. If we do not appoint a crown prince, I am afraid the people will be unstable."

"The matter of appointing a crown prince is no joke. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a decision in such a short period of time."

"I propose that the emperor posthumously confer the title of crown prince on the princess."

Hearing what Bao Zheng said, the other ministers all looked at him in surprise.

No one had expected that Bao Zheng, who had always been honest and upright, would say such a thing.

After all, when the emperor proposed to make a princess the crown prince in the past, Bao Zheng was always the first to jump out and oppose it.

Hearing Bao Zheng's words, Zhao Zhen laughed wildly.

"Hahaha."

"Posthumous title."

"An'er has been trying so hard for so many years to get something, but now she has obtained it easily after falling off the cliff."

"You are really good subjects of the Song Dynasty."

Hearing Zhao Zhen's sarcastic words, everyone fell silent.

They understand that it was difficult for the officials to accept the news that the princess had fallen off a cliff suddenly.

But life still has to go on. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, I hope the government can recover soon................

—

Harem.

Upon hearing the news that Zhiyu had fallen off the cliff, Empress Cao was stunned for a long time, as if she had not expected that a lively person like her could suddenly disappear.

Even though he fell off a cliff, the body hasn't been found for such a long time, so I'm afraid he's in a very bad condition.

Although she always felt that Zhiyu was not very close to her, she felt empty inside when she heard the news.

"How is the official?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor fainted on the spot, and when he woke up, he cursed those in the court who advised him to establish a crown prince."

Upon hearing this, Empress Cao nodded woodenly, "Has Miao Zhaorong heard the news?"

The maid nodded, "I already know."

"I heard that Miao Zhaorong fainted and has not woken up yet."

Empress Cao nodded with a heavy heart, "Let the imperial physician treat Miao Zhaorong well."

"I'll go over to see the official family."

When she heard that Empress Cao was going to see Zhao Zhen, her nanny hurried forward to help her and whispered in her ear, "Saint, I just heard that the emperor has dealt with many people who advised him to establish a crown prince. When you see the emperor later, don't mention the matter of establishing a crown prince."

Upon hearing this, Empress Cao frowned slightly and said, "The court officials are too hasty."

"The news of the princess falling off a cliff has just arrived. If they force the emperor to appoint a crown prince now, aren't they asking for punishment from the emperor?"

"The government has a good temper, but it's not that it has no temper. These people are really......"

After arriving at the Chuigong Hall with unsteady steps, what Empress Cao saw was Zhao Zhen's lonely back.

Having lost his daughter suddenly, he looked extremely haggard, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was staring out the window, Queen Cao was afraid of disturbing him, so she stood there motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Zhen, who had enjoyed the cool breeze enough, finally turned around slowly.

Seeing Queen Cao here, there was not much surprise in his eyes. He looked away for a moment, silently returned to his dragon throne, picked up the pen and began to write on the paper.

Not long after, Zhao Zhen stopped writing.

He carefully examined the paper in his hand, as if confirming something. Then, he took out the imperial seal and solemnly stamped it on the paper.

"Eunuch Zhang."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhen's call, Eunuch Zhang, who had been guarding outside the door in fear, hurriedly trotted into the hall.

"Official family."

"You take this to the Ministry of Rites in person."

"Tell them that if they can't get the princess named crown prince, then they can go see the princess."

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang took the paper with both hands and replied cautiously, "Yes."

When Empress Cao heard that Zhao Zhen wanted to posthumously confer the title of crown prince on Zhiyu, she was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was understandable.

After all, the princess has always been the emperor's candidate for crown prince.

It’s such a pity that such a lively person was gone after going to the battlefield.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen remained silent, Queen Cao sighed in her heart and broke the silence in the hall.

"Official family."

Hearing Queen Cao's voice, Zhao Zhen, who was immersed in his own world, slowly opened his eyes.

"Queen, are you here to persuade me to appoint a crown prince as well?"

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Empress Cao's expression was somewhat bitter, "My lord, I came to see you."

Zhao Zhen waved his hands, his face extremely calm: "I'm fine, I won't die yet."

"The Song Dynasty does not need to appoint a crown prince for the time being.............."
