The ministers were stunned.

Everyone was ready for the empress to mention the matter of Feng Yechen as king, but no one expected that the empress would throw this matter out at the beginning.

And the empress was angry when she didn't agree with her, which everyone didn't expect.

The ministers looked at each other, a little at a loss.

For a moment, the hall was a little quiet.

"Say, why don't you say it!"

The empress's voice was not loud, but the coldness in her tone could be felt by everyone.

Many people felt that their backs were a little cold, and they couldn't help but shrink their necks.

The empress has been on the throne for three years, and the monarchs and ministers have understood each other very well.

For three years, the empress rarely got angry.

Generally speaking, although she has a cold temperament, she is quite gentle on the inside, and most of the time, she is also very humble to ask for the opinions of the ministers.

She values her courtiers very much.

The empress understands very well that she can't govern a country by herself.

It takes a lot of people to work together.

She just plays the role of a commander-in-chief.

But just because you rarely get angry doesn't mean you won't.

In fact, in the three years since she ascended the throne, the empress has been mad a few times.

Moreover, after several times, the consequences are quite serious.

For example, when the empress first ascended the throne three years ago, Daxia was worried about internal and external troubles, and neighboring countries sent troops to invade the border from time to time, and even threatened to invade Daxia.

Some ministers suggested putting up with the humiliation for the time being.

However, the empress resolutely rejected the offer!

Her principles are very clear, she doesn't bow her head, she doesn't admit cowardice!

Not to mention cutting land and seeking peace, it is to send a little benefit, and to make a statement, I will not be willing to do it!

Those stubborn old ministers relied on their old qualifications, and the empress was newly enthroned, and they never repented and persuaded, which finally provoked the empress to go crazy.

Then, those people were collectively sent out of Beijing.

Now, three years have passed, and none of those people have returned to the capital.

Another example is about the marriage of the empress.

After the death of the first emperor, King Ming rebelled, and the royal family members were slaughtered, and the empress returned to the country and slaughtered the Ming king's family.

So much so that now, the empress is already the only seedling of the royal family on the surface.

For the ministers who value orthodoxy very much, they attach great importance to this matter.

The empress is not very old, but the other women are all married in their teens, and few are more than twenty.

The empress is twenty-five years old this year.

At her age, the children of women of the same age can go down to the river to fish!

However, the empress doesn't seem to have the idea of recruiting a husband to have children.

It's worth it!

Therefore, many courtiers discussed in private, looking for an opportunity to advise together, persuading the empress to find a husband, and leave it later.

And so they did.

Then, the empress went berserk!

In the court, she directly scolded the ministers, scolding everyone silently.

She even said that if anyone dared to mention this matter next time, she would just step down.

This emperor, whoever loves to be who!

Anyway, she doesn't want to be the emperor of this Laoshzi herself.

She was originally a martial arts genius, and now she is also a top powerhouse, the world is so big, where to go.

Do you have to nest in this imperial city?

As a result, the ministers were afraid.

The empress doesn't want to be an emperor anymore?

Are you kidding!

If she doesn't deserve, who else can!

Not to mention that the royal family is such a lone seedling now, even if there are other people, it can't be changed!

After the empress took office, she worked hard and conscientiously, and the national strength of Daxia was thriving, which was visible to everyone.

No one wants the empress to step down now!

Great Xia has gone through two major storms in a row, and it has been stormy, but it can no longer withstand the third turmoil.

Since then, no one has dared to talk about finding a husband.

The empress has been mad several times, and each time everyone surrendered.

Because every time the empress gets angry, it is not for no reason.

She is angry and angry, but every time there are enough reasons to support her decision, which is one of the reasons why everyone surrenders to her.

That......

And this time?

This time, the empress is mad about Ye Chen, will she also find a good reason?

But that's not quite right.

If so, how do they not know!

Moreover, if there is such a reason, the empress will not consult with them a few days ago, but will notify them directly.

Could it be that in just a few days, the empress has something new that can support Ye Chen to become the king?

This......

Is it possible?

For a moment, the ministers all fell into deep thought.

Of course, the atmosphere could not have been so silent forever.

Whether things work out or not, there has to be an end.

Regardless of the final result, whether they persuaded the empress or the empress persuaded them, as the side that opposed the empress's decision, at this moment, what they had to do was not to be silent.

Instead, stand up and oppose it!

"Your Majesty, Ye Chen is not of royal blood, he is not qualified to be named a prince!"

"According to the laws of Great Xia, if you want to be crowned a king with a different surname, you need to make a great contribution to Great Xia, and then we can vote on it after deliberation. Ye Chen has no contribution to my Great Xia, and he cannot be crowned a king with a different surname!"

"Although Ye Chen's family died at the hands of King Ming, and his brother also had the father-in-law of the protector, these were not enough for him to be crowned king with a different surname. ”

"Your Majesty, if you want to compensate him, you can change to another position, but the king with a different surname is absolutely impossible!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Many courtiers stood up and listed their reasons.

You say a word to me, and there are countless of them.

In short, it's a word.

The empress wants to compensate Ye Chen, yes, but she has to change her way and position.

Crowned king, never do!

Ye Chen listened on the sidelines, almost nodding.

And for good reason!

The so-called state has national laws, and the family has family rules, even if the empress is the king of a country, she cannot violate the laws and regulations at will, let alone change the decree overnight.

It was only now that Ye Chen finally truly understood how difficult it was for the empress to make him king!

"So, what was she going to do?"

Ye Chen thought in his heart.

He felt that in a normal way, it would be almost impossible for the empress to convince these ministers.

Because their words really make sense!

Because the empress wanted to compensate Ye Chen, she wanted to make him king, which was really a bit of a child's play.

But the empress swore to him again.

said that he would definitely be crowned king!

So, what was the empress going to do?

How will she convince her courtiers?

Ye Chen thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of it.

Unless......

She played tricks, ignored the opposition of her ministers, and directly used strong means to promote this matter.

But in this way, her image in the minds of the ministers will inevitably drop sharply.

Many people will definitely be disappointed in her.

"If there really was no other way, would she really do that?"

Ye Chen thought.

If it weren't for the words of yesterday afternoon, and the empress really did it for him, the only way would naturally be for him to refuse to be crowned king.

But now, it should not be necessary.

"Oh, for those reasons?"

After listening to the speeches of the ministers, the empress immediately said coldly: "Do you think he is not qualified to be crowned king?"

The ministers were stunned for a moment.

After looking at each other, he nodded.

That's exactly what they think.

"In other words, if Ye Chen has enough contributions to my Great Xia, then he can be crowned king with a different surname, right?"

The empress's voice reached everyone's ears.

"Uh......"

The ministers were stunned again.

That being said, but being crowned a king is actually not that simple.

In particular, in the current Great Xia, there is no prince, and Ye Chen is the only king with a different surname.

This represents too many things.

You can't make a decision lightly.

But just now when they opposed the empress, they did show a little bit of this meaning.

"Why, isn't it?"

The empress's voice froze.

A group of people with miniature necks.

After a while, an old minister finally stood up.

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of Great Xia, this is indeed the case. ”

He said: "However, if Ye Chen wants to be sealed, his contribution to Great Xia must be recognized by us. ”

The meaning of this statement is clear.

Ye Chen's contribution, the empress said it didn't count, they said it.

This is a supplement.

can't let the empress say anything directly, Ye Chen can't be crowned king or not, they have to decide.

Ye Chen wants to be a prince?

OK.

But his contribution must be recognized by them.

In this way, it will be more difficult.

In the past few days, they have already investigated Ye Chen, and because of this, they don't think that Ye Chen can contribute anything to Great Xia.

Even if there is, it is limited.

The contribution is so big that he can be crowned the king with a different surname?

Hehe.

Can Ye Chen do it?

Why is he!

Did he wander for many years, and then become a bandit?

If it was so simple to be crowned king, this Great Xia, the prince would have left everywhere a long time ago!

If you want to be crowned the king with a different surname, you have to be a genius at least if you make a great contribution!

They really didn't think that Ye Chen could do it.

If they could, they would admit it!

"Good. ”

Hearing this, the empress sat upright and slowly leaned back on the dragon chair behind her.

At the same time, a voice came.

"Come on, bring things up!"

Before the empress could finish speaking, a group of people hurriedly brought up several large boxes.

The ministers looked at it curiously, not knowing what medicine was sold in the empress's gourd.

What's in the box?

Ye Chen's contribution to Great Xia?

The doubts of the ministers were answered as the guards opened the box.

Book!

Those boxes are full of books!

Moreover, it is very brand new and has the fragrance of ink.

"What is this?"

The ministers suddenly became more curious.

"One copy per person, send it down. ”

The empress's order came down.

Then, the book was quickly distributed, and a group of ministers, after glancing at the people on the left and right, opened the book with doubt.

And then, a crowd of people, completely stunned!
