Chapter 22: The Dust Settles
For Ye Chen's crown, most of the ministers were opposed.
They are very resistant to this.
Even those who are firmly on the empress's side, such as Wang Qinglong, will support the empress's decision, but only because of the empress.
They support Ye Chen and have nothing to do with Ye Chen.
If they had made their own decisions, nine out of ten would have objected.
Lord Wang, how noble!
Once crowned as a king, whether it is in the court or in the entire Great Xia, it represents supremacy.
It's a real step to the sky!
What's more, if Ye Chen is crowned king, he is still the only king of Great Xia!
Who would be willing?
If you really think about it, no one will be happy!
Minister of the DPRK and China, who did not climb up step by step, little by little?
Even if you are of noble birth and want to go to a high position, you have to work hard yourself!
Not to mention those who have come up from the bottom.
Only I know the hardships.
For example, Wang Qinglong and others also got a high position because of their skill from the dragon.
How did this status come about?
Fight to the death again and again, in exchange!
But what about Ye Chen?
He didn't do anything!
He made no contribution to Great Xia, did not protect the empress, and did not do anything practical.
Such a person, just after entering Beijing, wants to be crowned king?
No one will!
Even if Ye Chen's family died because of the empress, Ye Chen's brother saved the empress several times, and finally died by the enemy.
Not at all!
In the battle for the empress's restoration, it was not only Ye Chen's family who shed blood for her.
Why is only Ye Chen enjoying this kind of treatment?
Just because he and the empress grew up together since childhood, and the relationship is relatively close?
They are not convinced!
This is the biggest reason why the ministers resisted Ye Chen and fiercely opposed the empress to give him the title of king.
As the king of a country, the empress can't be too selfish.
The empress can give Ye Chen more compensation because of her close relationship with Ye Chen, but the title of king is too much!
But at this moment, after reading the book distributed by the empress and hearing what the empress said, everyone was silent.
This book is worth too much!
It can be said that it will broaden the road of Great Xia in the future, so that Great Xia will not only go fast, but also walk steadily!
This is a book that can change millions of people!
It's a strange book, it's a divine book!
The value of this book is immeasurable!
The person who wrote the book is enough to go down in history with this, pass it down through the ages, and praise it for all generations!
That's why they have mixed feelings.
The meaning of the empress is already obvious.
This book was written by a single person.
None of the people here are stupid, the empress has already explained to them very clearly, this is Ye Chen's work!
But......
How is this possible!
There are so many ways to govern the country, so many great ideas, so many great ideas in this book...... How could it be that Ye Chen came up with it himself!
How old is he?
Early twenties!
What are young people doing at this age?
Reading hard in the cold window?
Study hard?
Enjoying the flowers and walking the birds?
Both.
But no one would think about these things like Ye Chen, and perfect these ideas to such an extent.
No one is going to do that.
Moreover, this kind of thing is not something that can be done if you want to do it.
How many people have changed an industry with the same whimsical idea and soared from then on.
But how many people can have an infinite number of good ideas?
Ye Chen is like this, never seen in the ages!
Can he really do that?
At this moment, everyone's minds are full of doubts.
"Your Majesty...... This book is really written by Ye Chen?"
An old minister trembled and asked.
"Really. ”
The empress's answer was indifferent, but also affirmative.
"Is it really his own book?"
Another old minister spoke.
"It's true. ”
The empress's answer remained firm.
"This ...... Has Your Majesty ever been involved?"
Someone else came out to inquire.
When everyone heard this, they pricked up their ears and waited for the empress's answer.
In fact, if this book had the participation of the empress, and Ye Chen co-authored it with the empress, then it would not be so difficult for them to accept.
After the empress ascended the throne, most of the decisions she made were positive.
Many of her ministers were opposed to it, but she insisted on implementing the policy, which also proved her correct foresight.
The empress is really talented.
If this book had been written by her, then all the courtiers would have nothing to say.
"I'm involved. ”
The empress's answer made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
But her next words really made their hearts relieved, and they raised it again, "But what I am responsible for is only to make slight modifications to make it more in line with the current situation in Great Xia, and organize it into a book and write it out. ”
"What is said in the book is basically what Ye Chen said, if you want to ask me if I co-authored, then it will be too exalting to me. ”
The empress's words made all the ministers shut up.
They were silent, looking at each other without saying a word.
Ye Chen was a little uncomfortable by a group of people.
These things, in fact, are not what he thinks, but the people he thinks about are not here, but in another world.
He's just a porter of knowledge.
And it's still a very stiff kind, and the empress has to help him revise and improve.
He was a little ashamed to be looked at by these people with such eyes.
"Sin, sin!"
Ye Chen thought in his heart.
"Really?"
Someone asked in a trembling voice, and his tone was a little sluggish and a little shaky.
"Of course, I'm not going to tell a lie. ”
The empress said indifferently: "Do you think that I have thought of these things a long time ago, and I have not said them, and until today, just to help him become king?"
"Or do you think I can think of this in just one night?"
"Are you questioning my character, or are you overestimating my abilities?"
The empress said with a hint of reproach.
These people are suspicious of Ye Chen, thinking that this book is based on her and supplemented by Ye Chen, that is, they are insulting her.
If she had thought of this a long time ago, she would have hid it until today?
Seeing this, the ministers immediately got up in panic and wanted to kneel: "The ministers don't dare!"
"I shouldn't speculate about Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!"
"Your Majesty, we have no doubt that Your Majesty has any reservations about the governance of Great Xia, we are just confused for a while!"
"Minister, the sin deserves death!"
A group of people fell to their knees.
The empress didn't speak, but after a while, she said slowly: "It's okay, let's be even." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The group breathed a sigh of relief and finally got up.
"Sit. ”
The empress waved her hand, and after a group of people thanked them again, they sat down one after another.
"Your Majesty, I have a ...... word"
A middle-aged minister glanced at Ye Chen, and stopped talking, "I don't know if to talk about it or not." ”
The empress glanced at him and said, "Say." ”
"Ye Chen looks so young, Chen really can't believe that he is so old, he will think of those things, will he ......"
He hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, "Could it be that these are the achievements of others and have been stolen by him?"
The ministers were stunned.
This......
Makes sense!
This book is not written by the empress, but it is not necessarily written by Ye Chen!
Could it be someone else's work that was stolen by Ye Chen?
"Did he think about it himself, does it matter?"
The empress said indifferently: "The merit of this book cannot be estimated, and a mere reward from a prince is not enough to offset it." ”
"Everything that is said in the book is what I have heard from him with my own mouth, so I should treat it as my own, and give him the title of king, what's the problem?"
"It's someone else's, so what?"
"If someone else is willing to give it to Ye Chen, what can you say?"
"If someone stands up to claim this merit, it will be in the future, and at that time, I will let people find out the specifics, how can I hinder the crowning of the king today?"
The empress said something, and the man was speechless.
After a while, he bowed his head dejectedly: "So, the minister has no opinion!"
"Hmm. ”
The empress snorted, her gaze swept over the ministers, "What about you, who else has an opinion?"
No one spoke up anymore.
At this time, who would dare to say that Ye Chen's contribution was not big enough?
Who would dare to stand up and oppose the empress?
No one dares!
No one wants to make the empress mad, and then end up with a frontier.
Is it because the court is not fragrant enough, so you have to go to the border?
Therefore, everyone was unanimous: "Your Majesty, the ministers have no opinion!"
Ye Chen's sealing of the king has settled so far.
