Chapter 131: Delusion in the Mind

What Sima Zhao conceived at the beginning was indeed very good.

He knew that if he wanted to take this step, he had to overcome the influence of Princess An Ning, and he also knew that he would inevitably cause Princess An Ning's dissatisfaction.

But he was really unwilling.

Obviously, he is already the emperor of this great palace and the king of a country, why should he be controlled by others everywhere and look at other people's faces all the time?

Since Princess An Ning has already chosen to make him the emperor, why do she meddle so much? Everything has to be mixed with such a kick, and everything has to be asked and express your own opinions, so who is the king of this country? Is it him Sima Zhao or her Sima Jingling?

Just like the Wang family, who will never be satisfied, they think they are kind to themselves, so they coerce them, as if they are holding something in their hands that they can't struggle or resist, and they can treat it as they want.

Can he still be the most honorable person in this great palace? Can he still be called an emperor?

Therefore, he wants to take all this power in his own hands and take the power back from Princess Anning. From then on, this great emperor can only have the name of him Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao, who has fallen into this kind of self-pity, self-pity and full of jealousy, has obviously distorted his mentality.

He forgot what the essence of being an emperor was, he also forgot that it was he who first moved to ask for help from the Wang family, and he forgot why Princess An Ning started to meddle in the affairs of the court in the first place.

He had already had the intention of taking advantage of it, but after failing to achieve what he wanted, he became resentful and dissatisfied.

To put it bluntly, Sima Zhao is actually a selfish villain.

Maybe he did have some days when he was a child, but since his mother became the queen step-queen, he has never treated him badly in terms of food and clothing.

Compared with other princes and princesses, his life is actually quite good.

Unfortunately, he was still not satisfied.

What if you don't have to worry about food and clothing? In his mother's heart, isn't it just a tool that can be used to seek power, so that the Wang family behind her can cling to it and be full of glory.

He saw that his mother often showed disappointment, and he was even more disgusted with the Wang family behind his mother.

Did he have any desire for the throne?

Of course, there is.

From the moment Emperor Jing fell ill, he began to think about how he could achieve this throne.

Although he was the crown prince at the time, this prince was just a prince.

In the royal family of the Southern Imperial Kingdom, which has always been respected for strength, it is natural that whoever can stand out will come to sit on this throne.

He is just a gentle prince who is weak and weak, and can only turn big things into small things and small things, how can he be the turn of governing the country?

But I didn't expect that fate was so wonderful.

Several brothers fought for their lives, and the throne fell into the hands of Sima Zhao, the person designated by Princess An Ning.

And this time, Sima Zhao will keep the throne in his hands completely and forever.

That's what he had in mind.

But unexpectedly, he just said a sentence in the palace, thinking of the country name and year name of the new dynasty, and invited you to come and taste it, and he was opposed by many ministers.

Especially the funeral official Guo, he originally paid great attention to the issue of etiquette and regulations, and when he heard Sima Zhao say this, he understood in his heart that he was going to abandon the enthronement ceremony and directly set the country name and era.

So he began to object loudly: "Your Majesty, by all means, this is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

At the beginning of the funeral officer, the rest of the ministers naturally came forward one after another, knelt down and admonished:

"Lord Guo is right, before the enthronement ceremony was held, the country name and year name were set, which is really no rules and not in accordance with the etiquette law!"

"Yes, please think twice, Your Majesty! Changing the name of the country and the name of the year is a major national event, and if you don't ask the heavens and tell your ancestors, how can you change it so rashly and directly? ”

"Yes, the ministers kneel and beg Your Majesty to take back your order, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty think twice!"

"Your Majesty thinks twice"

……

The number of people who came to the temple to kneel down and petition was increasing, increasing. Even in front of the hall with large specifications, it feels cramped right now.

Sima Zhao was depressed in his heart, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

The people he arranged, obviously in front of these ministers who expressed their opposing opinions one after another, could not explain the emotions in their hearts clearly, which made Sima Zhao's face even more ugly.

Seeing that the time he had won was about to be wasted in this stalemate, Sima Zhao couldn't care about it anymore, and stood up directly and said to the ministers:

"Why do I need to think twice? I felt that since I was the blood left by my ancestors and could serve as the new emperor, I naturally didn't need to ask my ancestors for their opinions.

Whatever I choose, they will choose, and besides, I have called you here to be a witness, not to ask for your opinion! ”

"What Your Majesty said seems to have gone too far." Dazai's salty voice came, strangely soothing the strange emotions in the hearts of the ministers present. Everyone couldn't help but look at Dazai.

Dazai felt everyone's gaze, and naturally knew what these people were thinking in his heart, so he opened his mouth unhurriedly:

"Since Your Majesty has specially convened a court meeting for the matter of changing the name of the country and the year, then the old minister believes that this matter needs to be discussed with everyone.

If this were not the case, His Majesty would have directly changed it and told the ministers and a few others, so why would there be such a stalemate now? ”

After listening to Dazai's words, everyone couldn't help but nod.

That's what they mean.

But Sima Zhao misunderstood them, and said such authoritarian words to them, which was really uncomfortable.

These people can be regarded as old ministers in the court.

It's not to say that they are respected by the people of the world and the royal family like Dazai, Taifu and others, but at least there will be some dignity.

They are full of satisfaction for the sake of the Great Emperor, and they have no selfishness at all, but they are so misunderstood by His Majesty today in their hearts, which is really unacceptable.

Sima Zhao looked at everyone's appearance, and his heart became even more annoyed.

It's like this again, it's like this.

They are just a group of ordinary ministers, but they always don't listen to themselves, and always think that their status and power are very high.

He is the emperor and the lord of a country, but no one has ever heard what he says, how can this not make people angry?

From the Wang family to Princess An Ning to these ministers, how many people are there in this court who don't take him seriously at all?

Therefore, the name of the country must be changed, and these ministers must also be disposed of.

He wants to take all these people step by step, so that there will be no one in the world who dares not to disobey him.

That's his goal, his imagination!

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had anticipated a bright future prospect.
