"what!?"
As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked, even Ye Nu and Wang Bo, who had been silent all this time, were full of astonishment. Wang Bo said with a chuckle: "His Royal Highness is joking, there has never been a precedent in our Tianlong Dynasty to pass the throne to a woman. This statement is really inappropriate."
"There is no precedent, but it doesn't mean it can't be done, does it? Why not set a precedent today." Long Zhengyang replied casually. "I am definitely not joking at this moment. My emperor's weak desire for power is just as unsuitable for this emperor as me. And my Seventh Emperor Sister is the most suitable candidate for this throne. Please think about it carefully. It's clear. So what if it's a woman? My Seventh Emperor Sister also has the surname of Long, and today Long Jiangshan is still under my surname Long, so why not!?"
Just as Wang Bo was about to speak, he fell silent again. He is a man of great wisdom and has seen too many storms and waves in his life. Long Zhengyang will never be a fool. From his abnormal expression at the moment, he smelled something strange, concentrated his thoughts, and silently savored the other words just said, "My Seventh Emperor Sister, but this The fittest man for the throne". Seventh Princess, also known as Feihuang Princess Long Huanger. This is clearly a princess who has nothing else to praise except for her stubborn reputation. Among them, there must be something else hidden.
However, the other courtiers were doomed not to be as calm as Wang Bo under the shocking words, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them: "Your Highness, this matter must not be done. It is related to the future of our Tianlong Kingdom, so it must not be such a trifling matter. If the power of Tianlong is inherited by a woman, the subjects of our Tianlong Kingdom will definitely be in chaos, and our Tianlong Kingdom must never set this precedent!"
"Master Yan's words are wrong. Although there is no precedent, there has never been an admonition in the ancestors that women cannot be enthroned as emperors. It's just that they have never tried it. Since His Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of taking the throne, why not let the Seventh Princess take the throne? Wei Wei I really don't think there is anything wrong with it." Mr. Shi who spoke before said with deep eyebrows.
"What Master Shi said is very true. Although His Royal Highness is not concerned with government affairs, he is pure and wise. He is definitely not someone who takes Tianlong Kingdom's safety as a joke. Since His Royal Highness is willing to give way to Princess Feihuang, there must be deep meaning. Feihuang The princess is also a descendant of the Dragon family, so of course she is qualified to be the Emperor of Heavenly Dragons."
"Extremely! Hehe, I don't know if all the ministers still remember that when the late emperor was alive, he personally promised to marry Princess Feihuang to the son of the Ye family. If Princess Feihuang ascends the throne, the Ye family will always stand on the throne of the Dragon King." With the guardian of the Ye family, we have nothing to fear." Another middle-aged minister said with a smile.
Long Zhengyang quietly listened to the arguments between them, his face was calm, but his heart was extremely horrified. Because apart from those silent people, half of the people who supported Long Huang'er's superior position were able to compete with those ministers who were full of fear and tried to dissuade them. Appear.
As expected of Ye Wuchen, as expected of the evil emperor... Nearly half of the people in the court, the familiar faces with heavy palms, are all his people. Among them, they have been in important positions in the imperial court for as few as five years, and as many as ten years, but they have never noticed anything unusual from the beginning to the end.
In my heart, I let out a long sigh. His mood suddenly became extremely complicated, but these complexities were immediately thrown away by the turbid air he exhaled. He believed in Ye Wuchen's promise to him, that he would never do anything to offend Long Huang'er in his life. He said he could, and he will. My future life will be spent for myself, so why bother with these cumbersome things that are about to be far away.
And those silent people, including Wang Bo, were equally shocked in their hearts. Suddenly proposing to let a princess ascend the throne, this should have undoubtedly attracted a lot of voices of opposition, but the fact is that the voices of opposition were faintly suppressed by voices of support, how could they not be surprised.
The focus of her eyes fell on Long Huang'er who had been standing there without speaking. Her face was slightly strange, but she was still calm, and she did not show any obvious surprise. Obviously, she had already prepared enough for this scene.
It's too weird!
At this time, a character that no one had thought of slowly stepped into the Tianlong Hall amidst a burst of peaceful laughter.
"Hehehehe, who said that my Huang'er can't sit on the throne."
In addition to being peaceful, this old voice also carried an indescribable aura of detachment. Accompanied by this voice, a steady and steady footsteps also came over at the same time. And the eyes of everyone in the hall turned to him at this moment.
This is an old man in his seventies, wearing coarse clothes, and his two cloth shoes are still stained with damp soil. From the first glance at him, one could clearly smell a kind of pure rural atmosphere, but facing this civil and military minister who gathered many powerful ministers of the Tianlong Kingdom, this seemingly ordinary old man did not show any abnormality. Bland exception. Under that rough appearance, they suddenly began to feel an incomparably noble aura.
When this voice came, Ye Nu and Wang Bo's whole bodies shook violently at the same time. Seeing his true face at this time, he could no longer keep calm, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on the ground: "Old minister Ye Nu (Wang Bo), kowtow to the Supreme Emperor!!"
Taishanghuang... three words, three thunderclaps.
It was rumored that the Supreme Emperor left Tianlong City after passing the throne to the then Crown Prince Long Yin more than 20 years ago, and issued a strict order not to be searched or disturbed, and he has since disappeared. I haven't been back to Tianlong City for more than 20 years. So there are very few people who have seen him in the court today. And Ye Nu and Wang Bo, two highly respected people, knelt down at the same time, how could it be false. Immediately, the crowd that was standing in the main hall of Tianlong knelt down and shouted the old man "the emperor".
"Get up, everyone. Now I'm just a farmer who collects herbs for a living. I don't care if I don't mention the title of Supreme Emperor. If I can't bear your worship, get up." Long Zheng shook his head slightly and raised his hand.
Ye Nu stood up, with respect mixed with deep joy: "Your Majesty, you are finally willing to go back to the city to have a look."
Long Zheng didn't return to Tianlong City for twenty years, but Ye Nu and Wang Bo had visited him several times in his residence in the years after he left, so they could recognize him immediately. The others could only stand there respectfully, eyeing the Supreme Emperor who had disappeared for more than twenty years. From his simple appearance, what they felt was a kind of peaceful coercion. That is the detached and noble aura that can only be naturally formed when Zeng holds the supreme power.
"The emperor passed away, how could I not come back and have a look." Long Zheng said with a soft sigh.
Wang Bo bowed and comforted: "The emperor was murdered by the traitor Lin Kuang... Alas, the Supreme Emperor please mourn."
"Life and death have their own destiny. I am already a person with half a foot in the coffin. There is nothing I can't see. The only thing I care about is my descendants." Long Zheng sighed.
"Grandfather." Long Zhengyang stepped forward and said.
"Heh, it's good to be called Grandpa like before, it sounds more comfortable without the word 'Huang'." Long Zheng stroked his beard and said flatly. Then he turned his gaze to Long Huang'er who had been secretly looking at him. The last time I saw this granddaughter was more than ten years ago, when Long Huang'er was only four years old, but she often thought of her stubbornness over the years and smiled knowingly.
"Huang'er, come to Grandpa." Long Zheng looked at the granddaughter who had grown into a pretty girl. His eyes are warm and soft. She will be the next Tianlong Emperor, this is a foregone conclusion, no power can change it. But to him, this is not important. Power, wealth, and desire are as pale as clear water in his eyes now. He only cares that she is his granddaughter.
Long Huang'er stopped and walked to his side, a pair of quietly turning eyes led to flashing on his old face: "Are you really my grandfather? Why did you become so old all of a sudden? "
Hearing this, Longzheng couldn't help laughing: "Because I am old, Grandpa, and Huang'er, you have grown up too. Not only will you grow up, but you will also become a female emperor soon. Grandpa really never thought about it. The ghost elf who caught a dozen caterpillars and put them in grandpa's boots will become a majestic empress."
What Long Zheng said in a teasing tone made Long Huang'er smile a little embarrassedly. Ye Wuchen's "death" three years ago made this naughty girl quiet in depression for three years, and her personality couldn't return to the original lively. As for Long Zheng's words, this Heavenly Dragon Chaotang suddenly became audible.
What he just said is clearly—to become a female emperor immediately. Could it be that Long Zheng came here this time to let Long Huang'er take over
At this time, even the most stupid person can smell something different. From Long Zhengyang's initiative to abdicate to Princess Feihuang, to the unanimous support of many people, to the appearance of the Supreme Emperor who has not appeared for more than 20 years, and declared that she is the next emperor, among them, there is clearly an invisible force. Mysterious forces are pushing.
"Huang'er, are you willing to be the emperor?" Long Zhenghe said with a smile.
"Yes, I want to be the first female emperor of Tianlong Kingdom." Long Huang'er answered Long Zheng and everyone present without any hesitation. In her heart, the words Ye Wuchen said to her echoed silently. For him, she will firmly control the supreme power of Tianlong Kingdom in her hands. Also for him, she will earnestly become an empress who will not lose to any other emperor.
"Hehe, good. As long as Huang'er is willing, that's fine. If Huang'er is not willing, even if someone forces you, Grandpa will never agree." Long Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, his laughter was as gentle as the wind. There is no disharmony in the expression. It seems that a few words have decided that the ownership of the throne is an ordinary and simple matter.
He turned his eyes, his smile disappeared, he looked at Ye Nu and Wang Bo seriously and said: "General Ye, Wang Taifu, you are all the top ministers of my Tianlong Kingdom, but you are still willing to continue to help my granddaughter to be an unprecedented daughter!" emperor!"
He didn't ask "do you have any objections", but directly affirmed this decision during the questioning, sealing off their right to refuse. How could Ye Nu and Wang Bo not know about Emperor Longzheng's wisdom and skill? When he was in power, his prestige among his courtiers was far higher than that of Long Yin when he was in power. It is absolutely impossible for him to rashly decide on such important matters as the throne. The two immediately responded in unison: "The old minister will swear to the death to be loyal to the new emperor, and there will never be any disagreement!"
"This minister will swear allegiance to the new emperor to the death, and will never change his mind!" As soon as Ye Nu and Wang Bo's voices fell, the ministers who had just supported Long Huang'er's superior position rushed towards Long Huang'er and Long Zheng as agreed Get down on your knees and shout the pledge of allegiance. The other courtiers who were still in a dazed state also had to kneel down and shout, and had no chance to hold back any objections.
"Hahahaha, good! As expected of being my minister of the Heavenly Dragon, this momentum has not diminished in the slightest." Long Zheng laughed a few times in a half-truth and half-fake way: "Huang'er, let grandpa personally preside over the coronation ceremony for you today , ha ha ha ha!"
In an atmosphere that seemed normal but was actually filled with thick and weird, the coronation ceremony of the new emperor finally began and was successfully completed. Princess Feihuang, Long Huang'er, was enthroned as emperor when countless people were caught off guard, and she was named Empress Feihuang.
