"What, don't you understand what I mean? I insist on making Shen Ning my concubine. I have already failed in my moral character and am not worthy of sitting on this throne. You'd better appoint another capable person to be the emperor. I think, thank you The Prime Minister has a good character and is qualified for this position."
Mo Chuan handed the jade seal to Prime Minister Xie again.
Prime Minister Xie fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, you are trying to defeat me. How dare I sit in this position, Your Majesty!"
"Grandmaster Xia, how about you become the emperor?"
Mo Chuan pondered for a moment and handed the jade seal to Grand Master Xia again.
Grand Master Xia also turned pale, fell to his knees, and shook his hands: "Old minister, you must not take this seriously. Your Majesty, please take back your order."
"This is not appropriate, and that is not appropriate. Is this throne a hot potato? Whoever wants to be this emperor, just stand up, and I will immediately write a Zen edict and abdicate in favor of someone worthy of the throne." Mo Chuan held the jade seal in his palm and looked at it. Scanned the faces of the ministers one by one.
None of the ministers dared to make eye contact with him. They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, please take back your life!" everyone said in unison.
They all now understood that the emperor was bent on protecting his newly married queen. He would rather not have the throne than a beauty!
However, only the emperor can control the country of Western Chu. If it were another person, who could manage the turbulent Western Chu to the prosperity it is today
No one can do it!
"Now that I have done something wrong, I will naturally have to bear the consequences of my wrong doing. This emperor, I have decided to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy." Mo Chuan said with a serious face.
"Why did the Emperor say this? The Emperor has done nothing wrong at all. Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. You can make whoever you want to be your queen!" Prime Minister Xie said immediately.
He was the first to speak out against it, and also the first to change his tone.
"But didn't Prime Minister Xie say it himself just now, if I make Shen Ning my queen, I will be acting like a fool and will be despised by the people in the world?" Mo Chuan stared at him and said.
Prime Minister Xie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and raised his voice and said: "That is because the old minister is confused and talking nonsense. The Queen has already divorced Prince Dingyuan with a divorce letter. She has no relationship with Prince Dingyuan at all. There is no such thing as a bastard at all, and the empress is beautiful, smart, and talented. If she becomes our queen in Western Chu, she will be a blessing to the people of Western Chu. Your Majesty, I have a hundred veterans who agree with you to make her your queen!"
After listening to his words, the ministers all muttered in their stomachs: Old slick man!
However, everyone admired Prime Minister Xie's change of direction and followed suit one after another.
"I also agree!"
"I am so impressed by the Queen!"
In the blink of an eye, these ministers who had just been indignantly talking about the dangers of making Shen Ning the queen were all praising Shen Ning.
This change of face was so fast that even Queen Mother Zhou felt that she had not expected it.
These ministers are able to achieve their current position. Who is not a good-looking person? Seeing that the emperor took out all the jade seals and kept saying that he wanted to abdicate in favor of others, who could not understand the emperor's intentions
Since they have determined that the emperor must be Mo Chuan, and also know that the emperor's wishes cannot be reversed, then the emperor can make whoever he wants to be his empress. Who are they, and how do they have the qualifications to comment!
