Chapter 1032 The fog clears and the truth comes to light
At this moment, on the martial arts field.
Ye Chen said forcefully again: "Next, on behalf of God, I will appoint the next emperor of the Yong'an Empire. No matter who I choose, you must not have any objections, otherwise you will be acting against heaven!"
Naturally, all the civil servants and generals present had no objection to this.
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then said to a group of guards waiting nearby: "Invite the little princess Nangong Mingyue up!"
Invite the little princess Nangong Mingyue?
Shouldn't the fourth prince Nangong Yuan be invited?
Several guards looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
But when they thought about what Nangong Yuan and Long Guangzheng had said before, they had no choice but to agree, and then quickly ran towards the room where the little princess Nangong Mingyue was.
Ye Chen, on the other hand, promptly lifted the ban on the room where Nangong Mingyue was located.
Not long after, Nangong Mingyue was brought to the high platform.
"Mr. Ye, what are you..."
Nangong Mingyue seemed a little at a loss and kept casting questioning glances at Ye Chen.
Because until now, she didn't know what Ye Chen was going to do, let alone why she was brought here again.
Not only her, but all the civil servants and generals around her were also suspicious.
"Why did Ye Chen bring the little princess out alone?"
"What is he going to do?"
"He doesn't want to support the little princess to inherit the throne of the emperor, right?"
"Impossible. The position of emperor has always been passed down only to men, not to women. This has always been a rule of the Yong'an Empire and no one is allowed to violate it!"
"Ye Chen brought the little princess here for other reasons. It's impossible to appoint him as the new emperor!"
For a time, there was a lot of discussion around.
Ye Chen, on the other hand, walked to Nangong Mingyue in a few steps and pointedly said: "Do you still remember what you promised me?"
"What did you promise?"
Nangong Mingyue was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean..."
"good!"
Ye Chen nodded, "When we just returned to the imperial capital from the border of the Western Region, you asked me to rescue His Highness the Second Prince, and I went too!"
"And at that time, you might have promised that you could agree to a condition for me!"
"And now, the time has come for you to fulfill your promise!"
Hearing this, Nangong Mingyue's delicate body suddenly shook, and her face showed a hint of indescribable fear.
Even though Ye Chen hadn't said it out loud, she had already vaguely guessed it.
As if she couldn't believe her guess, she stared at Ye Chen for a long time before she asked in a trembling voice: "You, you don't want me to..."
"good!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Chen took over, "Ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, unify the country!"
"this……"
Nangong Mingyue was even more shocked.
Even though she had vaguely guessed it just now, she was still scared to death when she heard Ye Chen say it with her own ears.
Before this, not only her, but almost everyone believed that Ye Chen either supported one of the five princes, or wanted to usurp their Nangong royal family.
I never expected that it would be such a result.
Ye Chen did not choose one of the five princes, nor did he usurp the throne himself. Instead, he wanted to support her, the most inconspicuous and least noticed little princess, to ascend to the throne.
The most important thing is that she is just a princess!
According to the business practices of the Yong'an Empire, the throne is passed down from male to female.
No matter where he looked, it was impossible for Ye Chen to choose her.
"I know it's hard for you to accept it for a while, but looking at all the princes and princesses, you are indeed the most suitable candidate!"
"Kewei, why?"
Nangong Mingyue was still in boundless shock.
She didn't even know what to say or do, she just stared at Ye Chen blankly, her face full of confusion.
"Compared to the five princes and the other two princesses, you have a more ambitious overall view and know how to be humble and compassionate. This is a temperament that other princes do not possess!"
Ye Chen explained patiently: "So, only if you rise to the top can you become a truly wise king!"
"If five princes are allowed to take the throne, no matter which one they are, they will definitely liquidate their former competitors, and then the imperial capital will inevitably start another bloody storm!"
"This is not what I want to see!"
"So, only when someone like you, who is full of compassion and values love and justice, comes to power, can we truly calm down the chaos and prevent everyone from being liquidated afterwards!"
Seeing that Nangong Mingyue still looked embarrassed, Ye Chen's tone suddenly turned cold, "The arrow is on the line now. If you refuse, I will let it go from now on. I will never interfere with whatever happens next!"
"ah?
this……"
Nangong Mingyue was startled.
Although she was completely confused now, she knew subconsciously that it was indeed a life-or-death moment.
You must know that all the powerful people in the imperial capital have gathered here at this moment, just waiting for Ye Chen to announce the final candidate.
Once you suddenly let go, the situation will definitely get out of control immediately.
Once the situation gets out of control, the entire imperial capital will definitely fall into an unprecedented state of chaos.
At that time, the various forces may no longer follow any restrictions, but directly fight against each other and kill you to the death.
As a result, not only the senior officials of the imperial capital will suffer, but all innocent civilians will be involved and plunged into dire straits.
"Time is running out, you'd better make a decision quickly!"
Just when Nangong Mingyue's mind was in chaos, Ye Chen urged again: "The fate of the Yong'an Empire now only depends on your thoughts!"
"Accept my proposal, and you will be able to put an end to the chaos in the Imperial Capital. If you refuse, an unprecedented bloody storm will occur in the Imperial Capital!"
"etc!"
Nangong Mingyue couldn't bear it anymore, and waved her hands repeatedly: "Can you let me slow down first?"
"good!"
Ye Chen was not aggressive, but waited patiently.
After all, this decision of mine was indeed too unexpected for Nangong Mingyue, and it was understandable that the other party found it difficult to accept it for a while.
"I want to ask a question..."
I don't know how long it took, but Nangong Mingyue suddenly asked cautiously.
"Just ask!"
Ye Chen nodded.
"Is it your temporary decision to choose me to inherit the throne, or have you already thought about it before?"
Nangong Mingyue stared at Ye Chen with burning eyes, the expression on her face changing rapidly, confusion, confusion, fear... flashed in turn.
In her anxious eyes, Ye Chen said truthfully: "I have already made a decision on this matter!"
"Have you already decided?"
Nangong Mingyue was a little surprised.
She thought this was Ye Chen's sudden decision.
Unexpectedly, she had already been listed as the successor to the throne.
Doesn't that mean that everything Ye Chen has been doing is planning for her?
"When did you decide to choose me?"
Out of curiosity, Nangong Mingyue continued to ask.
"This is a long story..."
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said: "When you first attracted my attention, it was probably at the border of the Western Region, when the Black Seal Empire's millions of troops invaded!"
"What did I do to attract your attention, Master?"
Nangong Mingyue said in surprise.
"Your second brother, fifth brother, and all the generals are skeptical of me, but you are the only one who chose to believe me!"
After a pause, Ye Chen added: "And you even ignored your second brother's strong resistance and stood up to speak for me!"
"The most important thing……"
Ye Chen reached out and patted Nangong Mingyue's shoulder, and said happily: "Although your personality is relatively introverted and timid, your ability to see the overall situation is far superior to your second brother and fifth brother!"
"Is this why, Sir, you are so impressed with me?"
Nangong Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
At that time, she stood up to speak for Ye Chen and expressed her own opinions. In addition to trying to persuade her second brother Nangong Kaige and her fifth brother Nangong Qin, she just wanted to take the overall situation into consideration.
I don’t mean to show off in front of others!
He never thought that his words would make Ye Chen so impressed.
