The two turned around, only to hear the cold voice of Emperor Wen Zhao behind them: "I have decided to make Concubine Shu the empress."

Jun Yichen turned around and looked back, suppressing the surprise in his heart, and lowered his head and said: "Father, according to the laws of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, after the queen dies, a new queen cannot be appointed within three months."

Emperor Wen Zhao's face was cold and dignified: "Why not? If I say yes, then it's fine."

Jun Zeyuan clenched his fists and really wanted to rush up and slap his father.

"Since the emperor has made the decision, there is no point for me to do anything. I will take my leave."

The moment Jun Yichen raised his eyes, he saw the smile on Concubine Shu's lips.

That smile was clearly directed at him.

He turned and left.

Jun Zeyuan hurriedly followed.

Concubine Shu looked at Jun Yichen who was walking out, the smile on her lips faded, her eyes dark and unclear.

Emperor Wen Zhao looked at Jun Minhuai who was kneeling on the ground with his cold and gloomy eyes.

"What about you? What's up?"

Jun Minhuai thought for a moment and said, "During the days when my father was unconscious, I was the one who took over the government affairs. Now that my father has woken up, I will take over."

Emperor Wen Zhao said "hmm" faintly.

"I will come find you tomorrow, please leave first."

"Yes."

In fact, Jun Minhuai also came here to make her the queen, but now it seems that Emperor Wen Zhao is determined to make Consort Shu the queen. If he says more, he will probably get no good results.

Jun Minhuai glanced at Concubine Shu and left.

On the second day, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was clear, the white clouds in the sky were floating in the breeze, and the blue sky seemed to have been washed.

Emperor Wen Zhao woke up.

The ministers were surprised and happy.

All the officials went to court early.

Emperor Wen Zhao sat in the hall, looking at the civil and military officials on both sides with a pair of dignified eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work during the days when I was unconscious."

"I have several important things to announce today."

Emperor Wen Zhao glanced at Eunuch Fulin.

Eunuch Fulin quickly took the imperial edict and read it: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Concubine Shu is gentle and virtuous, virtuous and wise, and has the demeanor of a mother to the country, and is named Empress Dexuan. A ceremony will be held on a chosen day to confer the title of Empress."

After the imperial edict was issued, all officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Censor Sun immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, a new queen cannot be appointed within a hundred days of the queen's death."

Immediately afterwards, officials from Prince Duan's party stood up one by one.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you want to appoint a queen, I think it should be Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao has been wearing nothing but clothes for more than half a month during the days when Your Majesty was in a coma. Please think twice."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao's father, the King of Zhenbei, died for his country in this battle and made great contributions to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is the public's wish that Concubine Xiao should be the empress."

"Your Majesty should abide by the law and make Concubine Xiao the empress after a hundred days."

"emperor......"

"enough!"

Emperor Wen Zhao was furious.

His eyes were filled with gloom as he looked at the large group of people who had stood up. For no apparent reason, a surge of anger rose in his heart.

"Why, I don't have the right to make someone I like my queen, and I still have to listen to you?"

The more courageous officials immediately said, "Your Majesty, we are all doing this for the sake of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the laws of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were passed down from our ancestors. Although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you should abide by them."

"emperor......"

"alright!"

Emperor Wen Zhao angrily glanced at Prime Minister Zhou who lowered his head and said nothing.
