I was vying for favor with four big daddy

Chapter 601

Liang Guo's new empress came to the throne quickly and suddenly, killing everyone by surprise.

Obviously the ministers just entered the palace the day before to press the queen, whether the rumors were true or not, and whether the one in Mingyi Garden was the emperor's substitute.

Who would have thought that he would bump into His Royal Highness the Crown Princess who sneaked back to the palace.

When Tangtang jumped out of the formation, and her big eyes met a group of small eyes, she knew that the courtiers' daily questioning had started again.

She stepped over a minister who was scared to the ground by her, and saluted in front of the queen: "Your Highness, Ah Yue is back to visit His Highness."

The queen's sad face suddenly turned into a smile, and she quickly pulled her to sit down and asked her how she was going out these few days.

Only then did the ministers know that although Her Highness the Empress Dowager was on tour in the south, she had quite a lot of free access to the palace.

Tangtang said a few words to comfort the queen, then looked at the ministers:
"Now that the army is overwhelming, 20 enemies are staring at us."

She looked around and said with a sneer: "My lords don't bother to think of a good strategy to defeat the enemy, and come here every day to persecute Your Highness the Queen. It is a great prestige! I see that you want to rebel!"

"Your Highness calm down—"

The courtiers were terrified, knelt down one after another, knocked their heads to the ground and dared not lift them up.

"I know what you want to do, so I will give you an explanation today."

Tangtang stood up from the queen, and told about Feng Mingyuan's disappearance and the search process:
"My lords, if you feel that you are competent, I will order the Xuanwu Army to let you go, or I will personally send you to the Qiang and Zheng kingdoms to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a formation."

At this time, an elderly veteran in the crowd said, "Who would know that this was not your conspiracy?"

Tangtang: "If I really want to replace it, can I still keep it until today? I will wipe out you as well, and not a single one of yours and the Prince's Mansion will be left!"

"you……"

The old prince was so angry that his white beard stood on end, he didn't know what to say, he knew what Tangtang said was not a lie.

Tangtang walked through the crowd, looking at the prostrate minister:
"It's nothing more than some scheming villains who are fighting for your life and death in the court every day."

"The Xuanwu army killed the enemy in front of the formation, and I didn't see any of you standing up to guard the beam! A bunch of cowards!"

"The knife is on his neck, and he is still holding on to the disappearance of the prince."

"Why, do you want to force the queen to death, then get rid of the palace, and open the city gate to welcome the Qiang army and Emperor Zun's envoys into Daliang?"

The stern questioning made the minister's spine even more bent.

They were sweating profusely, saying things like "Your Highness is enlightened", "Your Highness calm down", "Your Highness dare not wait".

Tangtang's robe sleeves fluttered over their heads: "The ears are soft, and the knees are soft, a bunch of old wastes, lying in the nest!"

She ordered someone to fetch the Emperor Sword and threw it in front of everyone: "I will give you two ways today."

"First, come up and take this sword, kill me, and then go to discuss a plan to retreat from the enemy. I swear not to pursue it."

"Second, before retreating from the enemy, don't mention the prince's disappearance again, and work together to kill the enemy and protect the Daliang capital!"

A few loud words, like a crisp slap on the faces of the ministers.

After a long time, Duke Protector stood up from the crowd and saluted Tangtang and the queen:

"Your Highness, the old minister is willing to be a pawn to retreat from the enemy's humiliation and protect the people of Daliang, but the country cannot live without a king..."

When the other ministers saw what Duke Hu said, they also echoed: "Yes, yes, the king does not exist, the country does not exist, so the army is not in the same spirit, and the people's hearts are not stable."

"Now that there are several Dukes and Princes here, it is better to choose a resourceful, decisive, virtuous and well-known son from the clan to be the new king."

"I feel that the prince's eldest son has this responsibility. He has a good name and is proficient in military strategy. He is indeed a rare talent."

"Prince Filial Piety is young and promising. In the early years, he has repeatedly made military exploits. He knows people well, and even the emperor praises him very much."

"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager are the crown princes. It is inappropriate to choose a new monarch."

"Hey, this is wrong, I think..."

Every time you say something, your words are very fierce, and you are about to fight.

At this time, there was a clear voice from the crowd:
"My lords have mentioned so many princes and princes, but have you forgotten that Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager is the rightful crown prince?"

Everyone looked back one after another, and it was Xie Jingyun, the No. [-] scholar in the new division who was speaking, the fifth rank of the General Administration Department Counselor.

He was usually inconspicuous except for discussing state affairs in the court and receiving inspection documents. He did not expect to speak on such an important occasion, which immediately attracted discussions.

"It's so ridiculous. There has never been a ruling female emperor in the history of Daliang. Where is this going to put men?"

Xie Jingyun sneered: "Master Zhang's words are wrong. Empress Qinghe is a woman, and Empress Gouli of Di Kingdom is also a woman. Why can't the empress dowager become an empress?"

"Master Zhang, is he afraid that he won't be able to control Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, and will lose the privilege of turning his hand into clouds and rain from now on?"

"You, yellow-mouthed kid, are simply presumptuous!"

Xie Jingyun was not afraid at all: "Is it because the lower officials are presumptuous, or is Master Zhang disregarding etiquette and deceiving the emperor and committing crimes? Does re-election of the crown prince mean that you don't take the emperor seriously?"

"you……"

Xie Jingyun knelt down on the ground holding the wat board: "Xie Jingyun, the fifth-rank counselor of the Minister of General Administration, please play Your Highness the Empress, Your Highness the Empress Dowager, and please choose an auspicious day for the Empress Dowager to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor."

As soon as he started this, the ministers immediately divided into three factions.

One faction opposed it and demanded the election of a new monarch; the other faction opposed it, but supported Feng Hanchu very much. Feng Mingyuan was not around, and they were reluctant to take Tangtang to the throne, so they had no choice but to keep silent.

There was another faction that supported Tangtang, and the three factions started arguing, pushing and shoving each other, wrestling like children.

Tangtang listened for a while, her ears were almost callused, and she gestured to Ming An.

Immediately, the imperial guards from the front office of the palace rushed in with swords and surrounded the court hall tightly.

The minister who was still shouting and scolding immediately didn't dare to say a word, and looked at the scene in front of him with fear.

Tangtang stood up from the phoenix seat: "In the face of foreign enemies, everything is centered on the people of Daliang, the country and the country, and welcoming back the father and the prince."

"I am the Empress Dowager of Daliang, whether you recognize it or not, from today onwards I am the Empress, defending against foreign enemies and protecting the common people in the world!"

Before the objectors could speak, Xie Jingyun first knelt down: "My lord, I greet my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

The supporting ministers saw it, and hurriedly knelt down: "Greetings to the empress."

After all, those who opposed it were a minority. Seeing the general trend, they had no choice but to kneel down.

The crown prince suddenly became the empress, and the entire government and the public were shaken. Everyone inside and outside the palace was busy, sweeping the palace, laying red carpets on the floor, and hanging high lanterns.

The Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy preparing the materials for the Empress' ascension to the throne.
