After Mrs. Li was pulled away, Chu Zhengyue yawned lazily.
He waved his sleeves, and everyone took a step back, but he just stood up.
He walked slowly and leisurely around the main hall.
He walked in front of everyone.
His eyes also swept across everyone present.
Contempt. Joking. Ridicule. Disdain.
Everyone he saw lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
Li Shilang was well-known for being henpecked, but after all, it was dishonorable to rely on a woman to get to the position, but Chu Zhengyue didn't give any face to him, and even invited Mrs. Li here.
Those present were naturally afraid that their weaknesses would be discovered by Chu Zheng, so they dared to confront him.
The person I'm afraid of is Chu Zhengyue, who is so arrogant and domineering that he dares to act openly and ask for the title of regent on his own initiative!
How useless is he, the emperor, to sit?!
His concubines were openly snatched away by powerful ministers, and his concubines were openly forced against him based on his merits!
What’s the point of him sitting on the dragon’s throne?
Zhao Xudao: "Chu Qing has great military exploits and a sharp eye. He defeated Xiliao. It shows that he has extraordinary vision. He must also be extremely talented in politics. Why does Xie Qing say that the regent cannot be named?"
He boasts that he is smart and has recruited countless talents, but now, he can't do anything to Chu Zhengyue!
After he finished cursing, he saw most of the courtiers kneeling on their knees, and said in unison as if they had agreed: "The Prince of Chu is of world-renowned merit and has a keen eye for talents. He should take the position of regent. Please accept your permission!"
Or perhaps, too lazy to speak out to refute.
So after Zhao Xu heard this, he relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Just as Xie Qing said, someone comes and gives Chu Qing Shang Fang's sword!"
The hidden meaning is obvious.
Zhao Xudao: "Since the founding of the country, no one has obtained this Shangfang Sword. Chu Qing, you are the first and only one."
But he never thought that Chu Zhengyue would be so arrogant! He never took him as an emperor seriously!
He thought about the night of their wedding, when Shen Qingyi looked cold and arrogant, spoke loudly, and threatened to kill him, forcing him into a corner.
In the end, he was still afraid.
A minister from Zhao Xu's faction came forward and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely..."
Chu Zhengyue raised his eyebrows.
Mr. Xie raised his head and said: "The Prince of Chu has outstanding achievements, but he has a sharp eye but is suspicious. The second son of the Shen family, Shen Jingnian, once traveled with the regent, but the Shen family was suspected of being involved in the chaos and was sealed up. Even though the second son of the Shen family made military exploits,
, but with what happened to the Shen family, it would be better to offset the merits and demerits. In this case, the prince should naturally take a step back."
The word "Zhunzou" came to his lips, but Mr. Xie stepped forward and said: "Wei Chen starts to play."
Mr. Xie said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the regent cannot be named."
Mr. Xie smiled and said: "General Yuan misunderstood."
Since he became emperor, he has been planning every day to recruit wise ministers. Even the harem is dominated by the clever Liu Yan.
"Your Majesty, think twice."
Zhao Xu's face looked cold.
In his eyes, major government affairs were like child's play, but he was able to control everything.
Why is he not aggrieved?
One word shocked everyone.
He thought that as long as he controlled the court, Chu Zhengyue would not be able to cause any trouble.
The old ministers who had just been quarreling with each other had all seen what happened to Li Shilang, so how could they dare to say another word?
However, mid-sentence, he received a warning look from Chu Zhengyue, and even though he was frightened, he stood up and did not dare to say another word.
Although Zhao Xu was reluctant to give Shang Fang the sword, compared to making Chu Zhengyue the regent, there was no need to think about what Zhao Xu would choose.
His voice had a laziness that was no longer concealed, and he even closed his eyes when he spoke, as if this sentence was just an ordinary sleepwalk.
Mr. Xie said: "In my humble opinion, all generals should be ennobled, and they can go to court to listen to the government. Although the position of regent cannot be enfeoffed, your majesty can give Shang Fang a sword to kill first and then report, to eliminate sycophants and hoe traitors.
Veins popped up on his forehead, and he glared at Chu Zhengyue regardless of Mr.
Keep talking, seal this and that, Chu Zhengyue, who do you think you are, how dare you talk to me like this?"
His words were well founded, and even Chu Zhengyue could not refute them.
Chu Zhengyue casually took Shang Fang's sword and flicked it with one finger, and the sword popped out. Although the scabbard was a bit old, when he saw the sharp blade, he knew that it must not have been out of the scabbard for many years.
Chu Zhengyue raised a playful smile, the wind was light and the clouds were calm.
Yuan Wanning sneered and said: "The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty have no objection to this. Is it possible that Mr. Xie wants to use his power for personal gain and completely veto the achievements of the prince with just one word?"
What he said is somewhat meaningful.
Zhao Xu hadn't given the order yet, so he called Yuan Wanning a general?!
Lord Xie seemed not to notice the strangeness of everyone, and continued to turn to Zhao Xu, repeating: "Wei Chen believes that the regent cannot be named."
He opened his eyes and saw Zhao Xu with bulging veins, and said: "Oh, Your Majesty is afraid that you adults will not agree? It's easy to say."
Zhao Xu's face turned pale.
"And these eleven generals in my body have followed my son from birth to death, and they have all made great military exploits. Although they are women, they are His Majesty's ministers. They should be named generals and handle the government in the court.
Zhao Xudao: "Then according to Xie Qing's opinion, what should we do about this matter?"
He held up his forehead, stared at Zhao Xu, whose face was alternately red and white, and said softly: "My lords, my merits will last forever. Having me in Yongchang is a blessing to the country. It is not difficult to appoint a regent.
Zhao Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore and started shooting.
Chu Zhengyu seemed to be awakened by him, and rubbed his brow impatiently.
Only Mr. Xie, who had always been calm and composed, nodded with him with a smile.
"A sword is given to a hero. I hope Chu Qing will not let down the Shangfang Sword I gave you. Don't let me down in one year."
"Since I am the regent, Your Majesty should listen to my advice. My lords, do you have any objection?"
"Chu Zhengyue, you-"
After completing the circle, Chu Zhengyue sat down again.
"After the sword is given, it will last for one year. If the Crown Prince can convince the people of the world during this period, wouldn't it be justifiable for him to be named regent at that time?"
Although these girls under Chu Zhengyue are clearly from Chu Zhengyue, except for Yuan Wanning, they are all unmarried women. Is it possible that their families will really allow them to go to court every day and show up with countless foreign men?
Zhao Xu slammed his hand on the table.
Zhao Xu leaned back completely and fell onto the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, I have made great achievements in battle, but now I am no longer satisfied with my position as the heir apparent. I would like to ask Your Majesty to reward me based on my merits."
His words are hard to follow, but the rules are set by the emperor.
When one year is up, it will naturally be what he says.
Chu Zhengyue closed the sword, but did not thank him. He yawned and said, "I am tired, so I will take my leave first."
He waved his hand at everyone, as if waving away the cats and dogs who came to beg for food: "Your Majesty is also tired. Come down to court, one by one. What are you waiting for?"
