Not to mention how furious Shang Liyuan was when he saw those four words, even others found it incredible.
The empress represents merchants
Even if the great Shang Dynasty is exhausted and someone needs to replace it, why should it be the empress
How could she be the empress? !
Since ancient times, men have been at the forefront of the outside world and women have been at the center of the house. The men have made great achievements, and the women have taken care of their husbands and raised their children. They cannot go out or step in the second door, and there are very few people who show up in public. How can they still be emperors
This heavy bomb caused quite a stir. Not to mention the scholars and court officials, even the common people were discussing it and expressing their opinions.
However, discussions are discussions. Because it is covered with the cloak of "God's will", people's criticism has been reduced to a minimum. There is some opposition, but it is within control and not a cause for concern.
What people want to know more now is who this empress is.
The group of officials headed by Lin Wenxiu and who were won over by Yan Shu gradually began to make some assumptions after calming down after the initial shock.
Ever since the Empress joined the forces in the court and won over a large number of people, she has come into everyone's sight.
Although she has always been behind the scenes, those who are loyal to her know about her. She is smart and wise, decisive in killing, and is also proficient in the art of the emperor. Either by giving favors, by coercion, or by inducements, most of the courtiers were captured.
No one thought in this direction before, they just thought that she was gathering power in order to gain a foothold in the harem.
But right now, it seems that her ambitions don't stop there.
Sure enough, the queen secretly summoned them and expressed her intention straight to the point. She wanted to ascend the throne as emperor.
Although there were already speculations, when Yan Shu actually announced it, people couldn't help but take a breath.
Lin Wenxiu returned to his mansion with his mind wandering. The former Queen gave him a life-saving medicine and saved Haner's life in exchange for a promise. But he never expected such a promise.
If he were alone, he would definitely agree without hesitation, but behind him are his wife, children, and children, as well as hundreds of Lin clan members, and everyone's wealth and life are tied to him.
After all, rebellion is no small matter. Once you do something wrong, you will be doomed. So he can't make the decision easily.
"Father, do you think the Shang family can turn around? The downfall of the Shang family is an inevitable trend, and there will be no surprises. And Yan Shu's ascension to the throne must be popular. The Lin family will not be in any risk because of this. In this case, you still What's there to hesitate about?" Lin Xinghan said.
Lin Wenxiu shook his head, "The Shang family has run out of energy. Needless to say. But it may not be easy for the Queen to ascend to the throne. There are many people who are secretly eyeing this position. It's just the gimmick of Xianhe sending the 'Empress on behalf of Shang' , is not convincing. Gold and silk can be faked, and cranes can be trained. Such auspiciousness cannot suppress the ambitions of those people. I am the leader of the Lin clan. If I choose this wrong path, it will definitely affect the entire Lin clan. Destiny, so you can’t act hastily, you must be cautious.”
In his opinion, it is best to watch the fire from the other side. Although Conglong's skill is good, it is also risky. It is better to sit back and ride out the limelight and think about it in the future.
But he couldn't ignore the Queen's life-saving grace, so he couldn't make a choice.
Lin Xinghan smiled, "Father is worrying too much. Yan Shu will definitely ascend the throne without any surprises. The world is already in the palm of her hand."
He, the master of the secret pavilion, has accompanied her step by step over the years and witnessed her growth. Only he knows how unfathomable her current power is, which is difficult for outsiders to imagine.
If she couldn't become emperor, no one else could.
Lin Xiuwen said hurriedly, "Han'er, do you know something when you say this?"
Lin Xinghan didn't say much. He didn't even tell his family that he was the master of the dark pavilion. He only followed the orders of Yan Shu.
"It's okay for my father to have concerns. You don't need to actively stand up to support her, as long as you don't oppose her at critical moments."
Is it okay if you don’t object
"Of course, the Queen has helped us save our lives. No matter what we say, we can't be ungrateful." Lin Wenxiu quickly agreed,
Li Qing was also struggling. No matter how stupid Shang Liyuan was, he was still the king he was loyal to. Even if the country was destroyed, he could only swear loyalty to him to the death. But he did not dare to forget the Queen's kindness. Loyalty on one side and righteousness on the other is really hard to decide.
Mrs. Li pushed her chubby son into his arms and stared with her almond-shaped eyes:
"Why think about it? Without the empress, you will have no descendants, and you will not have the shame to see your ancestors even if you die! Even if you are loyal to the emperor, when the emperor is in power, he will help you wholeheartedly and abide by his duty, which is already the most benevolent and righteous thing. Why, could it be that Do you still want to abandon our mother and son to die for the country? You are foolish and loyal! Bao'er is only three years old, are you willing to let him have no father now? "
Not willing to give up, of course not willing to give up. When he had no heirs before, he was very open-minded and felt that it didn't matter whether he had any heirs or not. But ever since I had Bao'er, I've watched this little person grow up day by day. His cold and hard heart has become completely soft. If I don't hold him for a day, I feel like something is missing. Hearing Baoer call daddy makes me feel that life is enough...
Li Qing looked at Bao'er giggling in his arms, sighed and said:
"Then just listen to Madam in everything..."
The reactions of these people were passed to Yan Shu by the secret cabinet. Generally speaking, there were not many people who supported it, but not many people who directly opposed it. Most of them neither supported nor opposed it, and remained neutral and protected themselves wisely.
What Yan Shu wanted was no objection, so this result was expected by her.
Those who objected simply felt that it was treacherous for a woman to be an emperor. These people were controlled by the people in the dark pavilion and could not make any splash.
Now that everything is ready, there is only one final step left.
Yan Qing is planning to make a big move, directly fulfilling Yan Shu's fate of "Destined Empress".
Of course, you have to do things under the spotlight.
It happened that Shang Liyuan was preparing for a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven. Now that he is at the end of his rope, he is urgently seeking medical treatment and preparing to offer sacrifices to pray for God's forgiveness.
Since it was a sacrifice to heaven, the Queen Yan Shu naturally had to be present.
Shang Liyuan no longer cares about Yan Shu, and even Fu Rui has been forgotten by him. After all, compared to love, hatred, and hatred, power and the throne are the most important thing.
Yan Shu was wearing the queen's court dress and a phoenix crown on her head, showing her grace and splendor in every gesture. Compared with the haggard and decadent Shang Liyuan beside him, he has more royal dignity.
The emperor and empress stood on the altar hand in hand, holding incense in their hands and kneeling to heaven. Behind them, the court officials and officials worshiped with them.
After kneeling three times and bowing nine times before standing up, a thunder suddenly sounded in the air.
Shang Liyuan was so frightened that his legs weakened. Ever since he was struck by lightning, he had a psychological shadow on thunder.
Fortunately, I didn't hit him this time.
"what is that!"
There was an exclamation from the officials under the altar. Following their gazes, they discovered that the sky where the sun was shining just now had suddenly become covered with dark clouds.
In the dark sky, among the rolling clouds, there is a golden light and shadow looming.
"Rumble—"
Amidst the lightning and thunder, the golden light became bigger and bigger, swooping down from the sky.
When I got closer, I realized that it was actually a majestic five-clawed golden dragon. Its whole body was golden, and its scales glowed with an icy sheen. The slender body sometimes hovers, sometimes shuttles between the clouds, and the huge figure hangs over the entire capital.
Not only the civil and military officials in the palace were stunned, but also the people outside the palace were all stunned. Everyone looked at this scene in shock, speechless.
The golden dragon flew majestically for a long time, and finally its figure gradually became smaller, and with a "swish" it flew into Yan Shu's body and disappeared.
Yan Shu was also shocked. Although the system told her early in the morning that a real dragon would be born today, she did not expect such a shocking scene!
Only then did all the officials react, and they all knelt down and worshiped.
"It's a real dragon!"
"The real dragon has come to the world!"
"The Queen is the true Dragon Emperor!"
Everyone responded to the call and knelt down devoutly.
I have to say that this scene was so shocking that no one suspected that this auspicious sign was fake. Things like cranes and boulders can be faked, but who can fake the golden dragon in full view
This is simply not something a mortal can do!
It can only be said that using systematic high-tech special effects to create auspiciousness is simply bullying the ancients and their lack of knowledge.
