The eunuch trembled and read it out, but his voice trembled, and he stumbled over a name.

This time, Sima Hongyan heard it clearly and understood, the name that the eunuch said was "Sima Hongyan".

The eyes of everyone in the main hall instantly shifted from the eunuch's body to Sima Hongyan's body, and everyone opened their mouths wide and stared at Sima Hongyan as if they were looking at a monster.

Sima Hongyan didn't know how to react for a while, she laughed and said incoherently: "Don't, don't joke." It's not funny at all! Am I mistaken? ”

Unexpectedly, the holy decree was not finished, and after the eunuch muttered a lot, he let out a sigh and closed the holy decree.

The Queen Mother stood up nervously, but then suddenly sat down on the chair, and muttered with dull eyes: "The mourning family doesn't believe it!" This is impossible, the emperor will never do this, the mourning family doesn't believe it! ”

The queen was even more exaggerated, and fainted directly. Yan Ze's face was like earth, cloudy and uncertain, and he stood there silently. And Yan Hong looked at Sima Hongyan with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and actually smiled with a slight appreciation. Sima Hongyan saw Yan Hong's expression, and sighed in his heart, secretly saying that Yan Hong had known about this a long time ago.

The eunuch was going to hand over the holy decree to Li Xiangguo, but Li Mingzhong didn't answer it, he said to the eunuch: "Father-in-law! You have read the edict for the emperor many times, please see that this holy decree is the emperor's handwriting, and the seal is the jade seal of the country? Please take a closer look at the doll. ”

The eunuch had followed Emperor Yanzhen for more than ten years, so he was naturally too familiar with the emperor's handwriting, he carefully checked every word, and only said after a long time: "It is indeed the emperor's own handwriting, and the big seal is also true, there is no problem with this holy decree!" ”

Only then did Li Mingzhong take the holy decree from the eunuch and thanked: "There is Father-in-law Lao!" ”

Sima Hongyan thought about it, and couldn't figure out what the hell Yan Zhen was doing, how could he pass the throne to her inexplicably? This is unreasonable, it doesn't make sense, it's just a fantasy.

And she didn't want to be an emperor, she didn't think about it at all. Well...... All right! She thought about it, but it was just an assumption of her own. Just like in her previous life, she always liked to fantasize about how she would spend it after winning millions of lottery tickets, she could only think about playing, but she didn't think it would become a reality.

At the beginning, due to all kinds of injustices and unreasonable encounters, Sima Hongyan would assume that if she was the emperor, how to govern the country and how to put an end to those injustices should be regarded as an explanation for herself.

And today, a miracle happened, Emperor Yanzhen surprised everyone, and unexpectedly handed over Yanling World to her a girl in her twenties, which is really incredible.

The entire hall fell silent, everyone needed to calm down, this result was too shocking, and it was really unacceptable for a while.

Sima Hongyan was anxious to know what was said in the holy decree, why did she give her the throne in a daze, she dragged a minister who was still stunned next to her and asked him to translate the content of the holy decree to her.

It turns out that there are really a lot of things in the holy decree, first of all, it talks about the situation in the world, which is not much different from what Li Mingzhong said just now, and then talks about the two mutinies in the capital one after another.

Emperor Yanzhen's general meaning is that the rebellion of his brother and son made him have a complete awakening to the Yan Dynasty, the previous division was caused by the never-ending infighting in Yanling, and now this infighting not only does not stop, but intensifies, and if it continues, the destruction of Yanling is inevitable.

Emperor Yanzhen looked back on his life experience, there were many things he didn't want to do, but he had to do it in order to survive, and now he looks back full of remorse. If you really want to make Yanling rise again, you must break this routine and completely end the endless internal friction, then there is only one way to end the Yan dynasty for hundreds of years.

When making this decision, Emperor Yanzhen was very painful, after all, the Yan clan had controlled Yanling for hundreds of years, how could it be said that it could be given up. But compared with the unification of the world and the return of all the people, the honor and disgrace of a surname is so small and slight.

When Emperor Yanzhen knew that his deadline was approaching, he made two decisions, one was to hand over Yanling to a more capable person and let him lead Yanling to become strong.

And the other decision was also his selfishness, he felt that he still had to give the Yan family a chance. So he prepared two edicts.

As for who can make Yanling rise and become stronger, Emperor Yanzhen racked his brains. His son was almost all broken in the Yan Qi Rebellion, and Yan Hong, who was originally optimistic, also became a crippled person, and the children of the Yan family had no such candidates.

The ministers and their children, Emperor Yanzhen, also considered it, but the loyalty of several generations had made their servility deeply ingrained, and it was difficult for them to become emperors.

And when Sima Hongyan's name jumped into Emperor Yanzhen's mind, he suddenly found that only this woman who was avant-garde, uninformal, affectionate and righteous, and dared to think and dare to do things was the most suitable.

But because Sima Hongyan is a woman, Emperor Yanzhen really hesitated for a long time, he always felt that it was a bit incredible for a woman to be the king of a country, after all, this is something that has never happened in the Central Plains Continent for thousands of years. But when he thought that Sima Hongyan would often make the impossible possible, Emperor Yanzhen finally made up his mind.

In order to ensure that this holy decree could work, Emperor Yanzhen deliberately handed it over to Sima Hongyan and asked her to pass it on to Li Mingzhong and Liao Ziling. First, these two people are the heads of civil ministers and military generals, and their prestige in the DPRK is high enough. The second is that because these two people were once Sima Yongcheng's close friends and absolute loyal ministers of Yanling, so they were handed over to them for safekeeping, so Emperor Yanzhen could rest assured.

And with Emperor Yanzhen's understanding of Sima Hongyan, whoever he transfers is not as reliable as Sima Hongyan, because Sima Hongyan will definitely not peek.

The purpose of the other holy decree is to give the Yan royal family and the civil and military officials a common opportunity. After all, Sima Hongyan is just Emperor Yanzhen's own idea, and it is understandable if everyone has a better choice, but there is one thing that Emperor Yanzhen has also taken precautions, that is, the harem is in politics!

Emperor Yanzhen knows the Queen Mother too well, her mother is not the kind of woman who values the world, what she values is that the emperor of Yanling can only be surnamed Yan, not someone else, even if she destroys Yanling, she will never give it to others. What the Queen Mother wants to protect is the power of the Yan clan and the dignity of the Yan clan.

And this is exactly what Emperor Yanzhen doesn't want to see!

Therefore, in the holy decree to Li Xiangguo and General Liao, it was clearly stated that once the harem interfered in politics and hindered the election of a new emperor, Li Xiangguo and General Liao could read this edict in public. Since the first decree is not carried out fairly, it can only be done in accordance with the second decree.

The reason why the Queen Mother was stunned was because she rashly interfered in politics and tried to induce the ministers to nominate Yan Ze, who was usually very good at flattering her, which happened to be expected in advance by Emperor Yanzhen, which pushed the throne to Sima Hongyan.

If the Queen Mother does not intervene in this matter today, the biggest possibility is that Yan Hong will succeed to the throne. If this is the result, Li Xiangguo and General Liao will probably not take out this holy decree again. After all, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty still trusted Yan Hong.

Although the Queen Mother doesn't like Yan Hong's cold personality very much, he is still the blood of the Yan family, and Yan Ling is still his Yan family after all. This time, being smart was mistaken by being smart, and the Queen Mother ruined all this with her own hands.

When Sima Hongyan listened to the minister's explanation to her, Sima Hongyan fell into silence for a long time.

Even though Emperor Yanzhen killed Emperor Yanrong and her father, Emperor Yanzhen's original intention was to unify the world.

Emperor Yanzhen has done a lot of wrong things, but he is not a cold-blooded and cruel tyrant. Just like treating Sima Hongyan, if she wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Sima Hongyan would have died a long time ago, and she would not have been allowed to live to this day.

If Sima Hongyan didn't investigate the truth about her father's death, maybe Emperor Yanzhen would let her spend her life in a mess. And even if he knew that Sima Hongyan was looking for the truth, Emperor Yanzhen did not resort to violent means, but chose to keep her far away, he thought that with Sima Hongyan's ability, he could survive in Dongning.

As a feudal emperor, Sima Hongyan felt that Emperor Yanzhen should be a good emperor. Although there are mistakes, which emperor has not made mistakes? What emperor has never killed a minister in vain, but has calculated a minister? Feudal dynasties are like that, the rules of the game are just that.

At this point, Sima Hongyan needs to think about what to do!

In fact, there are only two choices, either accept it and become the empress of Yanling. As once envisaged, the Yanling was reformed and a new system was established.

Either it is a refusal, but the refusal means that the throne may still fall into the hands of Yan Ze, with the elder mother of the queen mother, Yan Hong, the emperor, is not happy, and even he can't do many things.

Sima Hongyan was worried in her heart at the moment, not because she was afraid that she would become the empress of Yanling, but because she felt that all this was too unreal, like a dream.

And will she be able to become the empress smoothly? Will so many feudal and conservative ministers, millions of Yanling troops, obey the orders of a girl in her early twenties? It's so hard to be led by a woman, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who can't agree with it.

Sima Hongyan was really a little confused at the moment, she thought that it would be good if her sisters were by her side, and they could help her come up with ideas, she felt that her mind was all messed up now.

At this time, Yan Ze suddenly shouted: "No! How can she, a woman, be the new emperor of Yanling? The father must have gone crazy, he must have been coaxed by this woman. Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to submit to the command of a woman henceforth? This is simply a joke, if other countries know that we respect a woman, won't it attract the aggression of other countries? No way, I would never allow that to happen! ”

After listening to Yan Ze's words, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs did hesitate. It is indeed unprecedented to set up a woman as the emperor, and a dignified seven-foot man wants to bow down to a woman from now on, wouldn't it fall into the ambition of a Yanling man, how can he accept this kind of yin and yang decline. Immediately, several ministers echoed Yan Ze's words and expressed their opposition.

However, most of the ministers were rescued by Sima Hongyan, although they felt that this matter was inappropriate, but they were embarrassed to refute it in person, and they were very entangled in their hearts.

Yan Ze's opposing remarks immediately aroused Sima Hongyan's desire to fight. She was still hesitating, but she changed her mind in an instant, and it was better to take it than to be indecisive.

At this turning point in Yanling's fate, Sima Hongyan knew that if she didn't say something today, I was afraid that even with Emperor Yanzhen's edict, she would not be able to sit on the throne. And once the throne falls into the hands of people like Yan Ze, she has only one way to die.
