Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 481; Become a king?
Early in the morning of that day, civil and military officials gathered outside Chengtian Gate.

"Duke Ji, this time it is really thanks to Princess Zhaode, otherwise we wouldn't have been so easily exposed to the danger of the capital."

"Yes, the princess is truly talented."

"If it weren't for the princess this time, I'm afraid our Yu Dynasty would have been in turmoil for who knows how many years."

When the group of people saw Duke Ji Huo Jingzhi, they all hurried forward to greet him and compliment him.

This time, Princess Zhaode's contribution was too great. If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will definitely reward her generously. Princess Zhaode's current status is already not low, so it is unlikely that she will continue to receive rewards. Therefore, it is highly likely that these rewards will fall on the Ji Guogong Mansion.

From now on, Duke Ji’s Mansion will probably become the most noble of the Yu Dynasty.

Although everyone is envious, they are not jealous at all. After all, these are real achievements.

Who asked Duke Ji to give birth to a good daughter?
"Everyone has done a lot this time, and it's not just our daughter's credit."

Duke Ji returned the greetings with a smile.

Soon, the voice of the eunuch was heard, announcing the start of court. The group quickly stopped smiling and talking, and entered the Golden Palace in an orderly manner.

Emperor Zhaowu had already sat down on the dragon throne.

"My dear ministers, this incident frightened everyone. Fortunately, with the help of Princess Zhaode and General Li Jiujun, we were able to escape danger so quickly."

"However, although the crisis in the capital has been resolved, the rebels of King Huai are still resisting stubbornly."

"I intend to send troops to support them. I wonder which general is willing to go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiujun stepped forward first. However, before he could say anything, Emperor Zhaowu, who was at the top of the table, said with a smile, "Jiujun, you have been very tired from traveling all the way over the past period of time. You must take a good rest for a while."

This time, Emperor Zhaowu did not plan to send Li Jiujun to take action. Firstly, Li Jiujun was attacking the Turks, and then he was rushing to serve the king, and then he made a trip to Xihu Pass, which was very difficult.

It’s not easy to take pictures of him working hard alone, right?

Secondly, the rebellion of the King of Qin made Emperor Zhaowu feel even more frightened. He felt that someone still needed to be in charge of the capital.

It was a good opportunity for Li Jiujun to rest while keeping watch. I thought that even if there were more villains, they would not dare to mess around.

Li Jiujun, who was demoted, was stopped by Emperor Zhaowu before he could even open his mouth. He suddenly understood what Emperor Zhaowu meant, bowed and returned to the queue.

Afterwards, Emperor Zhaowu personally appointed two generals to lead an army of 200,000 to support Duke Ningguo and to capture the rebels of King Huai as soon as possible.

The two generals were overjoyed and promised to capture King Huai's rebels.

Such a big thing happened in the Yu Dynasty this time, and these generals were trapped in the capital before, doing nothing. They just saw others taking the credit, and they naturally felt aggrieved.

Now that the emperor has given them such an opportunity, they must share some of the credit.

After the two men left, Emperor Zhaowu spoke again, "Everyone knows who is the greatest contributor to the crisis in the capital this time."

As he spoke, he nodded at Gao Fu, and then Gao Fu shouted loudly towards the outside of the hall.

"Announce, Princess Zhaode is here to see you."

Not long after, Princess Zhaode Huo Junyao walked in from outside the hall. When everyone saw her, they all bowed.

"My daughter has met the emperor."

After Princess Zhaode stood still, she bowed and greeted Emperor Zhaowu who was sitting above her.

"No need to be polite." "Zhao De, you did a great job in relieving the danger in the capital this time. Not only did you save me, but you also saved the entire Yu Dynasty and prevented the Yu Dynasty from suffering from internal friction. Your contribution is great."

After saying this, he did not even wait for Huo Junyao to speak politely. He looked at the ministers and said, "I have been thinking about how to reward Zhaode during this period of time."

"You may not know that Zhaode has made contributions to our Yu Dynasty many times in the past. Due to some reasons, I have not known how to reward him."

"Zhaode has made such great achievements this time. It would be unreasonable if he is not rewarded again."

"A few days ago, I talked about this with the Queen, and she gave me some advice. I've been thinking about it these days and I think it makes a lot of sense."

"Today in this court, all the civil and military officials are here, I will talk about it, what do you think?"

Everyone bowed their hands.

"I intend to confer the title of Princess Zhaode as the first female prince of the Yu Dynasty - Prince Zhao."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the civil and military officials were talking about it.

Although Huo Junyao has a deep relationship with the royal family and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a royal relative, she is not a member of the royal family after all, but a relative by marriage.

Putting aside her identity as a woman, just talking about her current situation, she is a person of a different surname who was made a king, which is unique in the Yu Dynasty.

Back to the identity of women, there has never been a woman who was crowned king throughout history, which immediately made many scholars dissatisfied.

They did not deny at all the achievements of Princess Zhaode. They were indeed very great and indeed met the standard for being crowned a king, but it was not acceptable for a woman to be crowned a king.

As soon as someone stood up,

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

After he finished speaking, he bowed to Princess Zhaode and continued, "I do not deny Princess Zhaode's achievements, and I admire her contributions to the people of the Yu Dynasty and our Yu Dynasty."

"It's more than enough for him to be crowned a king, but it's absolutely unacceptable for a woman to be crowned a king."

As soon as one person stood up, many scholars followed suit, and their opinions were similar. They highly recognized Huo Junyao's achievements.

But the title of king is not allowed. Let the emperor think of other rewards, even if it means giving more, but the title of king is absolutely not allowed.

Even Meng Xuancheng stood up to oppose it.

"Your Majesty, I also think this reward is inappropriate."

The one who stood up at this time was Duke Ji Huo Jingzhi. Although he was very happy that his daughter was made king, he could not agree to it. After all, there were so many people in the court who opposed it.

If this gets out, there is no telling how many people in the world will oppose it. It would be a waste of time if something that is obviously a good thing is criticized.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that this kind of reward is inappropriate. Besides, I already have the status of a prince of the first rank, and having another prince title is actually of no great use."

Seeing such fierce opposition from the crowd, Emperor Zhaowu felt helpless. He actually knew that this matter might not be passed, but he really had no other way to reward, so he had to resort to this last resort.

"I am only discussing this with you all, not directly rewarding you. Since everyone disagrees, then you should think about how to reward me."

Everyone then realized that they seemed to have been a little too excited just now. The emperor had said at the beginning that he was planning to confer the title, not that he would confer the title directly.

Immediately, someone began to carefully look at Huo Junyao's face.

Now, this person is one of the few people in the Yu Dynasty who can be provoked. If you offend her because of this incident, your future life will not be easy.

However, Huo Junyao's expression at this time was very calm and indifferent, which made them feel a lot more at ease.
