As soon as Zhao Yingluo's words fell, the hall fell into a brief silence.

All eyes were on her, waiting for her next move.

Zhao Gou raised his head and looked at her back, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He suddenly spoke: "Do you think that if you have power, you can easily change the fate of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Zhao Yingluo turned around and looked at him coldly, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth: "Brother Huang, do you think that you have really understood the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty and the suffering of the people after sitting on the dragon chair all these years?" Power is not only a chair and a jade seal, but also a responsibility and responsibility. You think that what you have lost is only power, but in fact, what you have lost is your conscience and dignity as a monarch. ”

Zhao Gou's face changed suddenly, and he pointed at Zhao Yingluo with a trembling hand: "You...... You are just a woman, how can you understand the burden of this country? ”

Zhao Yingluo chuckled, and her eyes revealed disdain: "Woman? Yes, I am a woman, but I have also experienced wars and witnessed life and death. What happened to the woman? Can't a woman take on the responsibility of saving this country from fire and water? Brother Huang, your vision is too narrow, and what you think is the world is just your selfish desires. ”

Zhao Gou was speechless, his eyes widened, and he looked at the once weak woman in front of him in disbelief.

Her every word was like a sharp knife that pierced deep into his heart.

He felt an inexplicable fear rise from the bottom of his heart, this woman, can she really change everything?

Zhao Yingluo stopped looking at him, she turned around and walked to the door of the main hall, looking up at the dawn gradually rising in the sky. Her voice was soft and firm: "From today onwards, I will let everyone see a different Da Song." Brother Huang, your era is completely over, and I will start a new and different era. ”

Her voice echoed in the hall, accompanied by the gradually brightening dawn in the sky, as if an invisible force was quietly awakening.

Zhao Gou sat in his chair in a daze, he knew that he had been completely reduced to a bystander, and he could only watch this woman step by step to the pinnacle of power.

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration welling up in his heart.

As the sun slowly rises, the golden sunlight shines on the glazed tiles of the palace hall, shining dazzlingly.

The courtiers entered the main hall one after another, and their footsteps echoed in the empty hall, accompanied by the slightly fluttering court clothes, creating a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

However, the moment the courtiers stepped into the main hall, they were surprised to find that the number of people in the court today was actually half less.

Those Qin Hui and others, who were usually arrogant, disappeared at this moment.

For a while, there was silence in the hall, and only the whispers of the courtiers were left to each other.

"Have you heard? Last night, Her Royal Highness the princess ordered someone to take down all the people promoted by the official family. ”

One of the courtiers whispered, an expression of disbelief on his face.

"yes, I've heard that, too. In today's court, the people sitting on the dragon chair are afraid that they will be replaced. ”

Another courtier chimed in, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and unease.

Just when the ministers were talking, Wang Shouen, who entered the palace, walked to the front of the palace with a red face.

His face was filled with joy and excitement, as if something important was to be announced.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet."

Wang Shouen's voice echoed through the hall, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, making sure everyone could hear his next words.

"Emperor Zhao Gou knew that his virtue was not worthy of the throne, so he asked to abdicate. The throne is vacant, and Her Royal Highness the princess Zhao Yingluo is temporarily in charge of the country. ”

Wang Shouen's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word clearly reached the ears of the courtiers.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made the courtiers present explode in an instant. They looked at each other, and the chatter came and went, as if the whole hall was filled with a buzzing sound.

"This ...... Is this true? Someone stammered, seemingly unable to believe his ears.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is in charge of the country? This...... How is this possible? Another exclaimed, his face mixed with anticipation and concern.

And at this moment, Zhao Yingluo was already standing at the door of the main hall.

She was dressed in a white court dress embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern, which looked both majestic and noble.

Her gaze calmly swept over the courtiers present, without any expression on her face, but her eyes revealed a kind of firmness and determination, as if everything was under her control.

Zhao Yingluo slowly walked to the dragon chair, and her eyes fell on the chair that symbolized supreme power.

She gently stretched out her hand and stroked the dragon scales on the back of the chair, as if feeling the power and majesty that emanated from the chair.

The first thing Zhao Yingluo did after sitting firmly on the dragon chair was to reinstate all the officials of Lu Yihao, Zhu Shengfei and others, who had been dismissed by Zhao Gou. These people were all talented and experienced ministers, and their return would play an important role in promoting the development of the Great Song Dynasty.

When Lu Yihao, who was reappointed as the left minister, wore court clothes and entered the palace, he first bowed deeply to Zhao Yingluo to express his gratitude and respect for her.

Then, he made eye contact with Zhu Shengfei and presented a copy of the slash.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, the ministers and others believe that now the Great Song Dynasty needs a new beginning. You govern the country well, make the Great Song Dynasty strong and prosperous, and you deserve to be the emperor! Lu Yihao stepped forward and said in a loud voice.

Zhao Yingluo frowned slightly, she pondered for a moment and said, "Lu Xianggong, being the emperor is not child's play, you need to think carefully. Although the palace has the heart to govern the country, the matter of being called the emperor still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Seeing this, Zhu Shengfei also stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, the ministers and others jointly signed a letter in the hope that you can take on greater responsibility." The Great Song Dynasty needed a wise official to lead the Great Song Dynasty to become stronger. You're the right fit! ”

However, as soon as his words fell, a minister stood up to object: "Although Her Royal Highness the princess is of royal blood, but the woman is the emperor, which violates the ancestral system, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!" ”

The minister's words immediately aroused the echo of the others, and for a while, the voices of opposition in the hall came and went.

"It's really unprecedented for a woman to be called an emperor, but this palace asks itself if she is talented and virtuous, is it because of her gender that she can't take on a big responsibility?"

Zhao Yingluo's voice was cold and firm, and her gaze looked directly at the opposing ministers, as if she wanted to see through them.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, although you are talented, but a woman is weak after all, how can you take on such a heavy responsibility?" Another minister stepped forward and said.

"Weak?" Zhao Yingluo sneered, "This palace is no worse than any man, why do you think that this palace can't take on the big responsibility?" ”

Her words left the opposing ministers speechless, but they were still not willing to give up. They began to whisper and discuss what to do.
