Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 687 Decision
"Your Majesty, even though the little princess is extremely intelligent, she is a daughter, how can she be an emperor?" A minister raised objections after reading the letter.

Indeed, the contents of the letter can prove that the little princess is extremely talented, but in the past dynasties, there is no precedent for a woman to be the emperor.

If the little princess is a man, that's fine, she can naturally become the crown prince, but she happens to be a daughter.

"What happened to the daughter's family? Everyone here, which family does not have a daughter?"

After hearing what the minister said, Emperor Chen smiled and said, he didn't care, he thought about this matter for a long time, since he made a decision, he naturally thought about everything.

"I won't hide it from you. I have been thinking about this matter since last year. I thought about choosing one of the princes to be the heir apparent."

"Before letting the children leave the palace, I hoped that they would improve themselves through experience. I have been sending people in the dark to observe the children. However, whether it is the information I have obtained or the letters sent back by the children, The little princess is the most suitable candidate."

"As early as a few years ago, I ordered Wei Yao to establish women's schools in various places. Many women will participate in the general election of the court this year. At that time, there may be a few more female officials in the court, and the palace will also. "

"Even if the little princess becomes the crown prince and becomes the emperor in the future, she doesn't have to be afraid of anything. With the help of all the adults, and the newly elected female officials for her deployment, isn't that great?"

The Emperor Chen sat at the top and talked about his own thoughts. After hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but look at each other.

They still felt that it was inappropriate for a woman to be the crown prince, but what the emperor said made them speechless.

"For me, whoever can make Daxing stronger is the qualified heir apparent. During the two years that the children have been away, it's not that they haven't encountered problems, but only Changle can solve them best."

"Indeed, there was no precedent for a woman to be emperor in the past, so let's start with me and break this precedent."

"Your Majesty, even if you break the precedent and establish the little princess as the crown prince, and become the emperor in the future, have you considered the future of the little princess?"

"After all, she is a daughter's family, and she will always marry and have children. When the time comes, this... How should the imperial husband choose? If she has a child, she will have to stay in confinement, so what?"

Another minister stepped forward and asked the emperor. He did not object to the little princess being the heir apparent, but he felt that the daughter's family was not as convenient as a man in many matters.

"How to choose the emperor's husband depends on Changle's own opinion. The queen and I will check for her. As for the birth of a child, isn't there a female officer? Your lords have written a note, and the female officer can do the screening first. If it needs to be dealt with immediately, Just report it to her and let her handle it."

"It is said that rules are dead, but people are always alive, there is no way out." His eyes flicked over all the ministers, even though the emperor is not in good health now, his momentum is still the same as in the past.

"I have made up my mind on this matter. It is estimated that in a few months, my children will return to the capital. At that time, the imperial decree will be issued. Before that, I will prepare everything. If... if I have What an accident, Changle is the new empress."

The Emperor Chen didn't know how long his body could last. Occasionally, he would have extreme headaches and his eyes would turn black. The imperial physician knew about these situations.

Ever since he realized that his illness might be serious, he never let go of any slight reaction. He hoped that he could live a little longer, a little longer.

"Your majesty..." Another minister wanted to speak, but the fierce gaze of Emperor Chen made him speechless.

"If I am in good health when Chang Le comes back, I will let her go to court for a period of time, including my second prince. At that time, you can take a look for yourself to see if my decision is correct."

"By the way, my eldest prince is currently in the northwest border. I know him well. That kid's character is not suitable for being an emperor, but a strong general. Therefore, he is training in the army now."

The emperor did not hide the whereabouts of the children, and he would have to face them sooner or later. When the second prince and the little princess came back, he would let the ministers take a look with their own eyes.

At that time, we will also look at the attitude of the second child, whether he is bound to win the throne.

"Your majesty is wise." At this point, it's useless to say anything else, we can only follow the emperor's wishes, the ministers knelt down and saluted the emperor.

"If you have a book to play, let's go back to court if you don't have it." After sitting for a long time, the emperor was tired, so he gave an order.

Recently, nothing happened, so the courtiers saluted again and watched the emperor leave.

Holding Zhou Chengren's hand, Emperor Chen sat on the dragon chariot and returned to Fengyang Palace.

Inevitably, let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse and drink the medicine by the way.

"The emperor's complexion is very bad, but is there any discomfort?" After the emperor finished drinking the medicine, Su Qingning sat beside him and asked with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." There was a dull pain in the head, but it wasn't serious, Emperor Chen said with a smile, reassuring Su Qingning.

"If the emperor is uncomfortable, just tell me, don't force yourself." Su Qingning was heartbroken by the emperor's behavior, but she had no choice.

This is not her original era, the emperor's symptoms can only be delayed by relying on the imperial physicians.

Recently, there has been more acupuncture, and every time she sees the thin long needles, her heart hurts.

"Anxin." Tightening her hand, the emperor was a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

Su Qingning helped him go to the inner room, and put him on the bed, "Today, a minister mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince, and I prefer Changle as the crown prince."

Lying on the bed, he didn't close his eyes immediately, but looked at Su Qingning, talking about what happened this morning.

"Changle?" Su Qingning was a little surprised, she didn't expect it to be like this, she always thought that the crown prince would be chosen from the princes.

"Changle is a woman after all. I'm afraid the ministers in the court will strongly oppose it?" Su Qingning is not from ancient times. In her era, there were queens in history.

In the modern age she lives in, women are not the appendages of men, they can also have their own piece of heaven, so she doesn't think that women can't be emperors.

"I have thought about this matter for a long time. I have thought about all kinds of things, so don't worry about their strong opposition. I will make an order after the children come back, but before that, I will prepare everything."

Emperor Chen was always worried about his physical condition. He felt that there was nothing wrong with making some preparations in advance.

When Emperor Chen was talking about the reserve position with Su Qingning, Dongfang Yi was teaching the little princess how to be a king.

Jing An had already seen what Dongfang Yi was thinking, so he was not surprised that he did so.

When Dongfang Yi was explaining, he listened, not for anything else, just to help the new emperor better in the future.

No matter who the new emperor is, he will always be in the court at that time.
