Chapter 471: Controversy

The emperor listened to the advice of these ministers with a pale face, and the more he listened, the darker his face became.

Among these people, half of them agreed to canonize Concubine Li as the queen, and the other half disagreed, and those who did not agree were all people who were friends with Liu Dechang, and those who agreed were people who had close contacts with Yu Shiming.

He thought for a while, and glanced at everyone with a cold look in his eyes, he originally thought that he was already a dying old man, and this throne would be passed to Leng Yu until the day he died.

But since he took the elixir that Concubine Li gave him, he felt that he had strength all over his body, so he concluded that the pill could really make him immortal.

As long as he is alive, he can always sit in the world, Concubine Li has made such a big contribution, what if she is a queen?

Thinking of this, he directly raised his hand and said hatefully:

"Although I am old, I feel that I have inexhaustible strength, and the biggest credit for this is on Concubine Li, and it is completely reasonable to crown her as the queen, Li Shangshu is not happy to see my good complexion?"

When the emperor said this, his eyes released a strange gaze, which frightened Li Shangshu's whole person and trembled for a while, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground, and hurriedly admitted his mistake,

"Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of doing so,......"

"Say no more."

The emperor suddenly shook his arm and roared, "You don't mean that, why do you want to mention my old age?" In the past few years, my health was indeed not good, but after the careful care of Concubine Li and Xi'er in the past few years, I feel that my body is not inferior to when I was young, why can't I be crowned queen? I not only want to be crowned queen, but I also decided to draft the female ......"

His words surprised the people present, and Leng Xi didn't expect that the emperor would say this.

Leng Yu, who was standing in the hall, listened to his words with a black face, and he suddenly wanted to laugh.

As early as a few years ago, my father gave up the matter of choosing a show girl once every three years due to physical reasons, and now he has probably not chosen a show girl for more than ten years, and now he has entered his twilight years, so he wants to think about the draft girl?

It's ridiculous, ridiculous.

He was just about to raise his feet and step forward, Liu Dechang hurriedly shook his head at him, signaling him not to be impulsive, he had just been deposed as the crown prince, if he said against the emperor at this time, it would inevitably cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.

Thinking of this, he bowed down again and played:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the draft girl should not be made now, even if the emperor is physically tough, there are still promises in this harem that even the emperor has never seen are waiting for you to be lucky, and you are a draft girl at your current age, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from the people!"

Li Shangshu, who had just been frightened by the emperor and trembling, wanted to say something more, but moved his mouth, but he didn't dare to open his mouth after all.

Seeing this, Yu Shiming frowned, stepped forward and bowed:

"Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that the matter of the draft girl can wait for the queen to be established, and it is most appropriate for the queen to do this."

Yu Shiming's words made the emperor's eyes clear a few times, he nodded, didn't look at Liu Dechang's black face, raised his voice, and announced solemnly:

"Since this is the case, let the Ministry of Rites prepare for the canonization of Concubine Li as the queen on a certain date, and everyone must have no objections."

As soon as he said this, Liu Dechang looked up at the emperor with a cold face, and asked word by word:

"Does the emperor insist on this?"

His coercive questioning made the emperor stunned for a moment, and when he thought of the sword given to him by the emperor of the first emperor, when he beat the stunned king and the greedy minister, he suddenly frowned.

Seeing this, Yu Shiming snorted coldly and asked loudly:

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Lord Huguo to question the emperor like this, the emperor is still the emperor of Daning Kingdom, and the queen's position has been vacant for many years, why can't the emperor re-establish the queen? Could it be that the Lord Protector wants to forcibly prevent the emperor from doing this on the grounds of the emperor's advanced age? ”

Yu Shiming's forced questioning made Liu Dechang's face darken instantly, he looked at Yu Shiming, raised his voice, and replied sharply:

"Lord Yu, Nali Guifei is your son-in-law's mother-in-law, of course you hope to canonize her as the queen, but now the position of the prince is still vacant, there are now three princes in Daning Kingdom, and now Ligui Concubine is canonized as the queen, what about the position of the prince?"

Yu Shiming saw that Liu Dechang had told the truth desperately, so he simply snorted coldly with his nose and said to him:

"Then General Liu, you have repeatedly prevented the emperor from making the queen, are you considering that your son-in-law will not have a chance to be the crown prince again? The prince made a mistake, the emperor abolished the prince, this is something that the people of the whole city know, now even if the emperor has the intention of establishing another prince, he can only choose between the prince of Xi and the prince of Ming, what are you doing here? ”

"I'm not coaxing, I'm thinking about the people, Concubine Li has a very bad reputation among the people because of the affairs of the people of Chu, and now let her be the queen, I'm afraid the people won't agree."

"The people? Could it be that the emperor wants to appoint someone as the queen, and he still has to get the consent of the people? General Liu's words are a bit serious. ”

"Alright."

Seeing that these two people were arguing endlessly, the emperor suddenly asked in a displeased voice:

"I am the king of a country, can't I make my own decisions about the small matter of being crowned queen? Just do what I just wanted, the Ministry of Rites, choose a day to hold a ceremony after the sealing, and retire from the court. ”

The emperor hurriedly left this sentence, fearing that Liu Dechang would stop him again, so he hurriedly stood up from the dragon chair, flicked his sleeves, and quickly walked to the back of the main hall.

The emperor left so quickly that no one present reacted.

Leng Yu couldn't wait to turn around the moment the emperor turned around, and walked outside the hall, if he used to have a trace of respect for his father, then now, he was very disappointed, this moody emperor, what he said, what he did, it was really more and more incomprehensible.

When Leng Xi saw him leaving, he also left the hall with a smile on the corner of his mouth and followed the ministers.

Yu Shiming looked at Liu Dechang who was standing there frowning, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he pretended to be humble and came to Liu Dechang, lowered his voice and mocked:

"General Liu, did this official think that just now you would take out the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor to suppress the emperor? Who would have thought you wouldn't dare to mention this? Hahaha! ”

His laughter made Liu Dechang's face instantly as cold as falling into a cold pool, he looked back at Yu Shiming with angry eyes, raised his eyebrows without smiling:

"Lord Yu, it's really a bad day, I think you were also an honest and honest official back then, but now because of your selfish interests, you have become mercenary, I really didn't expect it."

"Mercenary? Hahaha......"
