After rebirth, he was pampered by the disabled prince.

"Yes, Your Highness." He accepted the order and left, but he was worried about the future of the country. The war has been going on for several months, and the country's financial resources are tight. If the war is not won, the country will become more and more difficult.

At this time, Mu Xinghe was in Cangzhou City, continuing her campaign in the Western Region. The Lingnan army led by her has conquered several cities, and its morale is at its peak. The army in the Western Regions suffered from low morale after being defeated again and again.

The war was tense and the soldiers were short of food. Many businessmen who got the news donated a lot of food. Among them, Lin's Shop and Gu's Trading Company were the most conspicuous, because these two companies directly donated all their wealth, leaving some behind. They are all shops or inventories that cannot be changed into cash.

Grain and grass were sent to the Qinbei battlefield one by one, and the war with Qinbei became increasingly tense.

At this time, news came from the Western Regions that made all Lingnan people excited. The army led by Mu Xinghe successfully captured Kyoto in the Western Regions. The Emperor of the Western Regions had signed a peace agreement. From now on, There is no longer a dynasty in the Western Regions, but only Xijun, and this emperor is the king of the county and is under the jurisdiction of Lingnan.

This news excited the entire court, and the grief and worries of the past few days were relieved at this moment.

Xiao Yu immediately arranged for ministers to take over everything in the Western Regions. After Mu Xinghe left one hundred thousand soldiers behind, he led the remaining soldiers and set off directly from the Western Regions to Qinbei.

And Kyoto...

The emperor's funeral has passed, and now that the Western Region has achieved a complete victory, it is time to consider Xiao Yu's ascension to the throne.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the important senior ministers came, the eldest princess and the queen mother also came out, and even the queen who had been sick rarely sat on the main seat.

Xiao Yi pushed people in. Xiao Yu looked around and probably knew what they were thinking.

"I will see His Highness King Chen."

"Ping Sheng." Xiao Yu waved his hand, was pushed forward, and then bent down, "My grandson has met his grandmother, and his grandmother has been blessed with good fortune. He has met his aunt, and he has met his mother. The aunt and the queen have grown up."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "Yu'er, you must also know why I called you here today."

"know."

"In this case, the country cannot be without a king for a day, so you might as well prepare for the enthronement ceremony. Your dragon robe is already being made. These are the auspicious times calculated by Qin Tianjian. Now Xinghe is in the Western Region and cannot come back in time. , the Queen's Conferment Ceremony can only be held later, how about it?"

The Queen Mother spoke, and they felt that this matter should be settled. Although there were some people who felt that he was disabled in both legs and was not the best candidate, the fact now was that they only had this option.

The queen also looked at Xiao Yu with burning eyes, with undisguised desire and pride in her eyes, as if to say, look, I will still be the queen mother.

However, Xiao Yu shook his head, "Grandma, it's not that Yu'er refuses to agree to you, but that I can't be the emperor."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "Is it because of your legs? Don't worry about this problem. For thousands of years, there will be no disabled emperors. Besides, with your status, no one will laugh at our country."

"That's not the reason."

"Why isn't this the reason?" The queen was anxious. She glared at Xiao Yu angrily and said something arrogantly, "Do you really think that the nonsense of those monks and Taoists is going to make that bitch Mu Xinghe ascend the throne? Emperor? Become the second female emperor in Lingnan?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned. Ever since the identity of the goddess Mu Xinghe was widely spread before, and after the emperor's death, many public opinions were spread by the monks, saying that Mu Xinghe was The descendants of King Fenghuang Ming should be the emperor of Lingnan.

Not only that, many people even spontaneously wrote tens of thousands of letters to persuade Mu Xinghe to ascend the throne.

Although Mu Xinghe was not in the capital, everything that happened in the capital during this period was closely related to her. Especially after they learned that Mu Xinghe had captured the Western Region, their respect for her increased. Floors.

If it were before, they would still think that the emperor was a woman, which would have some influence. But now, Mu Xinghe is faith in the hearts of their people.

Their emperor is not a woman, but a goddess. That is a different concept. She can lead Lingnan to a more glorious era.

At this time, a young official stepped forward and said firmly, "The body of a phoenix, the heart of a goddess, the goddess unified the continent, brought blessings to the continent, solved the continent's perennial wars, and saved tens of thousands of people from the fire and water. The goddess She is the incarnation of Mother Earth, and her ascension to the throne as emperor is God’s will.”

Hearing this, everyone was in disbelief. How could there be a traitor here? Then someone stood up and said, "No, since ancient times, the succession to the throne has been dominated by men. Even if there were women succeeding in the past, it was because of Xiao The family has withered, but even a woman still has the pure blood of the Xiao family. Now, although Mu Xinghe has made great achievements in battle, she is a woman after all, and she is not a member of the Xiao family, and now she is not like the previous dynasty. If she is allowed to ascend the throne , I’m afraid it will cause turmoil in the government and the public and make the people uneasy.”

"You can rest assured that Princess Chen's reputation is very high among the people. If she ascends the throne, the people will only applaud her and there will be no possibility of unrest. Furthermore, now that Princess Chen has regained the Western Region, The unification of the world is just around the corner, so how can it cause turmoil in the government and the public? Finally, there is the issue of identity. Although Princess Chen is not surnamed Xiao and does not have the blood of the Xiao family, she is the wife of Prince Chen and a member of the royal family. Whether the prince or the princess succeeds to the throne, Their children will always be the heirs, so a hundred years from now, the person in power will still be named Xiao, so what does it matter whether the person in power now is a prince or a princess?"

"Nonsense, nonsense!!!" the queen said angrily, "If I go by what you said, then I can still be the emperor. Anyway, after my death, Yu'er will succeed me, and the Xiao family will still be the one who succeeds. world."

However, facing the furious queen, the man just smiled and shook his head, "Queen, your situation is different from that of the princess. After all, the princess is the chosen one chosen by heaven to unify the world and end the troubled times. She is a descendant of the Phoenix Ming King. With the blessing of King Ming, the princess ascended the throne, which is God's will, and the people will naturally not go against God. After all, for those who go against God, you can think of Princess Menghua, who wanted to frame the princess, but was struck by lightning, and those in the Western Regions I was willing to surrender, but I was struck by lightning.”

Although he didn't point at the Queen's nose and say, are you worthy of being compared with Mu Xinghe? She is the chosen daughter of heaven, a person protected by gods and Buddhas. Who do you think you are? Think about the fate of Princess Menghua and the Western Regions. Do you also want to be struck by lightning?

Hearing his words, everyone thought of the thunder in Princess Menghua's mansion.
