"Is it because of that incident that you decided to help me fight for the throne?"
Apart from being embarrassed, Nangong Mingyue became even more curious.
"No, you just caught my attention then!"
Ye Chen shook his head and said: "What really made me change my decision was being in the Moon Worshiping Empire!"
"When you were in the Moon Worshiping Empire?"
Nangong Mingyue heard this and was confused.
"I initially wanted to help your second brother Nangong Kaige succeed, but the longer I spent with him, the more his character flaws were exposed!"
Ye Chen took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "So, I found that although your second brother has a bright personality, he is not suitable to inherit the throne!"
"What about my fifth brother?"
Nangong Mingyue asked again, "He has always been humble and reserved, and his vision is also..."
Halfway through her words, her voice gradually weakened until she was unable to speak any more.
"You discovered it yourself, right?"
She did not continue, but Ye Chen continued: "Your fifth brother Nangong Qin, he has changed since his ambition was exposed!"
"Although I know that he may have compelling reasons, in order to achieve his goal, he will use any means at all, even to the point of ruthlessness!"
"When we just returned to the Imperial Capital, you also knew that he knew that it would be dangerous for your second brother to go to the General's Mansion. Instead of stopping him, he deliberately encouraged him!"
"Your second brother was kind to him, but he ignored the kindness and bit him back!"
"To put it nicely, this is called killing relatives for the sake of the overall situation!"
"To put it harshly, he is trying to burn bridges by crossing rivers and burning bridges. He is just a white-eyed wolf who repays kindness with enmity!"
"If you let someone with no bottom line like this come to power, what do you think the consequences will be?"
Before Nangong Mingyue could answer, Ye Chen thought to himself: "Once he ascends to power and gains power, he will definitely become more violent and even more cruel and vicious than other princes!"
Having said this, he stared at Nangong Mingyue again and said word by word: "Now, you should know why I chose you, right?"
Those words made Nangong Mingyue sigh with emotion.
Because she had to admit that what Ye Chen said was the truth.
Whether it is her second brother Nangong Kaige or her fifth brother Nangong Qin, the character flaws are too obvious.
Especially her fifth brother Nangong Qin, his mind is becoming more and more narrow-minded and his words are becoming more and more harsh.
It's like a beast trapped in a cage. It has already shown its ferocious appearance before it comes out. If it breaks out of the cage one day, it will definitely wreak havoc. When the time comes, it will have the power of the world, and no one can suppress it.
It's restricted.
Just thinking about it, she smiled bitterly and said: "Since you have decided to support me in my promotion, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Because the time has not yet come!"
"The time has not come yet?"
"Yes!"
Ye Chen nodded, "You are too kind. Once I tell you in advance, you will not only refuse, but you will most likely reveal it to the second and fifth princes!"
"Once they know that the person I really support is you, they will definitely launch a counterattack like crazy!"
"Not only will it put you in danger, but my plan will also not be implemented smoothly!"
Hearing this, Nangong Mingyue was even more surprised.
Ye Chen's meticulous thoughts are really scary to think about.
Not only did he deceive everyone, but she was also deceived.
If Ye Chen had not taken the initiative to speak out at the last moment, she would definitely have been kept in the dark like everyone else.
But then, she asked again: "Aren't you afraid of my rejection?"
"That's why I'm just saying it now!"
Ye Chen glanced at the civil servants and generals around him intentionally or unintentionally, and said meaningfully: "Under such circumstances, can you still refuse?"
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Mingyue was even more shocked and stunned.
Ye Chen was able to devise such an ingenious plan and play tricks on all the princes and various forces, which is already amazing.
She never thought that even she could not escape from Ye Chen's plan.
Ye Chen was right. If he had spoken out before, not only would she not have agreed, but she would have very likely revealed the matter to her second and fifth brothers.
However, if she chose to speak out in this difficult situation, she would not be able to refuse even if she wanted to.
Because once she refuses and Ye Chen lets it go, the entire imperial capital will fall into unprecedented chaos.
This is definitely not what she wants to see!
Since she didn't want to see it, the only thing she could do was to follow Ye Chen's plan, wear the crown of God, and ascend the throne as emperor.
It can be said that every step of Ye Chen's plan was so clever that it was impeccable.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Ye Chen asked patiently.
Nangong Mingyue's delicate body trembled slightly, she subconsciously glanced at everyone present, lowered her voice and asked: "Since I am willing to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, will all the civil and military officials present agree?"
After a pause, she added: "There are also my five brothers and two sisters. Once they regain their freedom, won't they be stopped?"
"Don't worry, they have no choice!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly: "I pushed the situation to this point just to force everyone to make a choice!"
"Except for the civil and military officials present, the five princes and the other two princesses, as well as yourself, can only follow the trend!"
"If anyone goes against the current, not only will he not be able to survive alone, but he will even bring unimaginable disaster to everyone!"
"Your chess game is really scary!"
Nangong Mingyue sighed.
"Without further ado, make your decision quickly!"
Ye Chen urged: "It's up to you whether this chaos can be calmed down quickly!"
"That's...okay!"
Not wanting to let down Ye Chen's good intentions, and not wanting to see the situation develop for the worse, Nangong Mingyue felt uneasy, so she decided to go to the top of the platform.
"I, Nangong Mingyue, the 205th generation little princess of the Nangong royal family of the Yong'an Empire, will officially inherit the throne by the order of the oracle Nanlang. Do you have any objections to this?"
This sentence was said with dignity and solemnity, and the expression was sacred and majestic.
Like a queen who rules the world, she gives people an irresistible domineering presence.
However, no one answered.
Everyone looked at each other, and the scene was surprisingly quiet.
Almost all the civil servants and generals present had their own masters, and no one was loyal to Nangong Mingyue, the most inconspicuous little princess.
In everyone's mind, the person who succeeds to the throne should be the prince to whom they are loyal.
If they admit it now, it would be tantamount to betraying the Lord.
Once the choice of the new emperor becomes a foregone conclusion, it will be impossible for them to go back on their word.
"My lords, just now you have all said that you will abide by my decision to choose an emperor on behalf of heaven. Are you going to go back on your word now?"
Seeing what everyone was thinking, Ye Chen said at the right time: "If anyone has an opinion, why not stand up and say it!"
