Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress
Chapter 241 Deterrence
This time, Prince Xu did not stand up to speak for Su Yunxuan as he did in previous times.
Like Su Changfeng, Prince Xu had almost emptied the private vault of Prince Xu's mansion in recent days.
It's not that he was reluctant to part with the money. Having served as an official for many years, he understood human nature better than anyone else, and knew the selfishness and coldness of human nature.
He knew that if he pushed these officials into a corner, some of them would do something bad in secret, such as fooling around, fishing in troubled waters, or obstructing the implementation of the disaster relief policy...
King Xu felt extremely sad when he thought that there were more Yunsheng people outside the capital who were suffering from lack of food and water and the continuous death of their loved ones.
King Xu Su Dongxu resisted the urge to support Su Yunxuan again, as he mainly wanted to train and observe Su Yunxuan.
He promised Yunshang that as long as he lived and was in power, he would do his best to support Su Yunxuan.
It is an established fact that Su Yunxuan will become the Empress of Yunsheng. She is so young and still has a long way to go. If she cannot even overcome the current hurdle on her own, Yunsheng's century-old foundation will most likely decline or even perish.
This was something he didn't want to see at all.
He fought many battles with great passion, and only then did Yunsheng become as powerful as Fenglan today. How could he bear to see Yunsheng decline from now on?
When he promised the Queen Mother to support Su Yunxuan to succeed the throne of Empress Yunsheng, in addition to his infatuation with Yunchang, he actually had selfish motives.
Like many of those who had opposed the Emperor's proposal to marry Su Yunxuan to Su Changfeng, he also had the idea of pushing Su Yunxuan to marry.
However, he had discovered more information than those ministers. He knew that Feng Yuqi was deeply in love with Su Yunxuan.
He also thought more and further than those ministers.
The new emperor of Fenglan is in love with Empress Yunsheng, and perhaps because of this friendship he would be reluctant to attack Yunsheng.
It would be great if this reluctance could last until Yun Sheng successfully survives this natural disaster.
If it is really impossible, Feng Lan still decided to take advantage of Yunsheng's internal troubles to send troops to attack Yunsheng. They can legitimately ask Su Yunxuan to shoulder the responsibilities of a king and agree to the empress's marriage.
As long as we can drag Feng Lan to sit down and talk, we can get a chance of survival.
The longer the time drags on, the better. He doesn't believe that God will not rain forever.
Once Yunsheng survives this natural disaster, there is hope that Yunsheng's kingdom will be preserved.
At that time, Su Changfeng will be re-elected as the new emperor of Yunsheng. No matter how stubborn Su Changfeng is, no matter how deeply he loves Su Yunxuan, he will have nothing to say and no reason to resist...
Standing in the hall, listening to the speeches and arguments of his colleagues, Su Changfeng had a different picture in his mind.
All those doubts and disrespect towards Su Yunxuan seemed to turn into ice needles, piercing into his body one by one, making him feel cold and tormented in his heart.
He tried his best to suppress the tears in his eyes, staring at Su Yunxuan sitting on the dragon throne with heartache, and began to doubt himself again:
Was he really doing the right thing by pushing his Yunxuan to that position?
He began to regret and blame himself over and over again in his heart: If he had known earlier that his Yunxuan would face such a situation, he would never have pushed her into that position.
How he wished that he could stand beside his Yunxuan at this moment, hold her hand, and tell her that he had everything...
If he had known this earlier, he would never have pushed his Yunxuan to that position out of fear that he would leave early and no one would protect him.
Just like now, a person sits on that cold dragon throne, seemingly high and mighty, but in fact extremely lonely!
Gazing at the different expressions and words and actions of the ministers below, Su Yunxuan had already thought of a response strategy.
When all the ministers except Prince Xu and Su Changfeng knelt on the ground and expressed their inability to raise so much silver and grain again, Su Yunxuan slowly stood up.
She walked to the front of the platform with a dignified manner and stood still. She looked around at everyone with a solemn expression and spoke loudly: "I will not make things difficult for you. I have already thought of a strategy to raise money. You just need to follow my orders."
The ministers looked up in surprise.
Only then did they notice the young woman on the platform, who was looking down at them with her back straight and calm.
The aura around him, in addition to the ethereal air when we first met, had somehow acquired the momentum of a king who was as unstoppable as a bamboo.
Everyone then realized that the words "I" just now were the first time the new empress referred to herself as the Emperor of Man.
Su Changfeng also realized it.
As soon as Su Yunxuan uttered the word "I", he realized: his Yunxuan truly accepted that position and sincerely wanted to take on the heavy responsibility of Empress Yunsheng.
Feeling the pain in his heart growing more and more, Su Changfeng took a big step forward excitedly.
At the top, Su Yunxuan instantly caught sight of Su Changfeng's abnormality.
She turned her gaze to Su Changfeng, suggesting that he not to worry, and then began to announce her strategy to the ministers who were watching her.
She suggested that since Yun Sheng broke the old conventions and nominated her as the first female emperor in history, he should benefit everyone and thoroughly and comprehensively implement the wise move of treating men and women equally.
She proposed that starting today, the Yunsheng court would recruit women from all over the world who have great ambitions and care about the sufferings of the people to serve as officials.
Without waiting for the ministers to discuss it, she directly ordered that the Grand Tutor Su Changfeng be responsible for advertising the decree to the world, using the disaster relief as an excuse to recruit and select people from all over the country.
The ministers were in an uproar again.
This time, King Xu and Su Changfeng stood up at the same time and accepted the order.
With the two of them taking the lead, the court officials from Prince Xu and the Grand Tutor hesitated for a moment, then stood up one after another to agree and accept the order.
After a while, more and more people surrendered.
Finally, only two old ministers who had no tact but were extremely conservative and arrogant were left standing there without expressing their opinions.
Su Yunxuan was not going to tolerate this either. She glanced at the two of them with a threatening look in her eyes and directly dismissed them from their positions.
She praised the two of them in an extremely infuriating way, thanked them for their contributions to the Yunsheng court and the people in recent days, thanked them for their sympathy and support for her determination to become the emperor for the first time, and even took the initiative to resign to make room for those women who had only ambitions.
She also said that if Yun Sheng successfully survived this natural disaster, she would allocate money from her private treasury, which would surely become more and more abundant in the future, to comfort the two of them for their righteous act of retiring early and returning home.
After her remarks, those ministers who stood out to agree with her but were still hesitant suddenly felt that they had stood on the right side and avoided an unnecessary disaster.
In their hearts, a real man can bend and stretch. At this moment, their choice to follow the crowd is just a temporary solution. Who knows what effect the policies implemented by their empress will have? Let's wait and see.
When the court meeting was over, many conceited officials began to feel disdainful.
In their eyes, women have been inferior to men since ancient times.
Their newly crowned empress actually wanted to save Yun Sheng through a group of women and children. This was truly naive.
After leaving the palace, several young officials who had just entered the court gathered together and whispered about Su Yunxuan's beauty, lamenting how pitiful her heartbroken appearance would be after suffering a blow and being ridiculed.
They were jealous and vulgar, betting whether their empress would be reckless, just like she had just called the Grand Tutor in front of everyone in Yunxiang Hall after the court was dismissed, looking for a man regardless of her status...
They even became more and more excited as they talked, as if they were not the ones who had shrank back and lowered their heads and dared not look directly at the empress in the court just now.
