Chapter 384 The throne of Dayuan belongs to Shen Jingli!
Shen Jingli looked embarrassed, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Her face was burning hot, and she lowered her head in shame: "Qin Yejue, can we make trouble after the court session...?"
"Your Majesty, I am not making a fuss."
This was the first time in Qin Yejue's history that he called himself a subject in the Golden Palace. It seemed that he had no intention of stopping and wanted to continue playing! ?
Shen Jingli's face was so red that it was about to bleed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Qin Yejue! Speak properly to me!"
"The minister obeys the order."
"..."
----
The Minister of War Shi Langying watched for a long time, and he always believed that...it was impossible for two people in the world to be so similar.
Even if they are twins, they wouldn't be so similar! ?
The emperor suddenly passed away a few months ago, and everyone knows that...the young emperor is just a puppet of the regent and has no real power.
So... after the regent disappeared, even if the emperor's death was suspicious, no one investigated it thoroughly!
Now that he thought about it, there must be something fishy going on here. Shi Langying's expression was serious and solemn, and he was ready to find out the truth.
He knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness, Regent, I dare to ask..."
No one expected Shi Langying to speak so suddenly, and in an instant, all eyes in the hall were focused on him.
Shi Langying felt uneasy when being stared at. He closed his eyes and said in one breath: "Excuse me! Is this girl..."
What he wanted to ask was, "Is this girl a former emperor?"
But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he backed down.
Shi Langying still didn't dare to ask. What if this woman wasn't Shen Jingli? Wouldn't that bring up the regent's sad memories? !
Everyone in the court knew that the regent and the late little emperor had an ambiguous relationship and were very close to each other!!
……
Shen Jingli looked at Shi Langying who was only halfway through his sentence and roughly guessed what he wanted to ask.
He said seriously, "It's me, I am actually a girl."
"My previous deep voice was maintained by taking voice-changing pills. Now that I no longer take them, my voice has naturally returned to normal."
The news was so explosive that the ministers were caught off guard. A loud bang exploded in their minds.
Everyone in the hall cried out in surprise, and in an instant, the Golden Throne Hall was in an uproar.
……
……
After the shock, the hall became quiet again.
The woman sitting on the dragon throne is Shen Jingli!? This is too ridiculous! !
It turned out that the little emperor was actually a girl. She had been disguising herself as a man for eighteen years without any news leaking out.
The palace maids in Qianlu Palace are so tight-lipped! !
Their eyes were uncontrollable and all fell on Shen Jingli's face.
Who would have thought that the sissy little emperor of the past was actually a woman! !
……
No, no, that's wrong. The emperor dressed as a man is not a sissy, because she is actually a little girl! !
Also, the Regent is not a homosexual! !
The current situation is... the regent is in love with the little emperor who is disguised as a man.
The ministers looked at each other, with thousands of words piled up in their hearts, but they dared not speak them out easily.
They think nothing more than:
"How can a girl become an emperor?!"
"From ancient times to now, there has never been such a special case! !"
……
Even if Shen Jingli was the only offspring of the late emperor Shen Yu, she was only a legitimate princess and could not inherit the throne at all.
But now, the princess is sitting on the regent's lap. Anyone who is not blind can see that... the princess is the apple of the regent's eye.
Who dares to say no? !
……
Not long after, a fearless minister actually pointed out the problem.
The cavalry general Gao Tianye stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Highness, since the late emperor had no prince, only a legitimate princess..."
Gao Tianye was well aware that the two people on the throne had a close relationship and should have made up their minds.
The only bloodline of the late emperor is Shen Jingli, so her future husband must be the regent.
Gao Tianye hesitated and said, "Your Highness, the Regent, would you allow me to give you some advice and suggestions?"
Qin Yejue: "Go ahead."
After getting the permission, Gao Tianye had no worries and spoke freely: "It is well known that the regent and the princess have a close relationship. They will surely get married in due time. However, there has never been a case of a woman ascending the throne in Dayuan. I propose that the prince be made the emperor of Dayuan!"
Gao Tianye has been on the battlefield for a long time and is a real rough man. Even as he gets older, he has no intention of getting married. He only wants to be accompanied by cold swords.
Therefore, in his heart, he always believed that the emperor should be a man, and girls are weak in all aspects and might not be able to withstand the hardships.
According to him, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, guaranteeing the orthodoxy of the bloodline and allowing a man to become emperor? Anyway, the offspring of the regent and the legitimate princess will definitely be the next emperor! !
……
As soon as these words came out, Gu Sichen was the first to stand up and refute. He only recognized Shen Jingli as the emperor! !
"I have something important to report."
Seeing his son stand up and speak, Gu Wenzhe was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
What on earth does the unfilial son want to say! ?
Even if the young emperor had ever loved him, that was a thing of the past. Even if we take a step back, as long as the regent was in power, there would be no possibility for them no matter whether the emperor was a man or a woman.
……
Gu Sichen: "The antidote to the spider venom was developed by the emperor. Fortunately, the antidote arrived in time, and the soldiers of Xixu City were spared from being poisoned. Dayuan easily defeated the Sang tribe without losing a single soldier... The emperor played an indispensable role!"
"Although the emperor is a woman, she is no less capable than a man. Why can't she be the emperor?!"
Gao Tianye took a deep breath and argued: "The princess is smart and clever, her achievements will not be erased... What I mean is... there is no precedent of a woman becoming emperor in Dayuan."
"The regent and the princess are in love with each other. No matter who becomes the emperor, their future heirs are destined to be the crown prince. If that's the case, why not let the regent, who is a man, become the emperor?"
Gu Sichen asked back: "General Gao said that they are in love, so why not let someone with royal blood become emperor!?"
Gao Tianye: "I have already explained the reason. Dayuan has never had a female emperor!!"
Gu Sichen: "Isn't it available now?"
……
……
Gao Tianye and Gu Sichen were in the audience, arguing endlessly with each holding their own opinions.
Qin Yejue's eyes darkened and he interrupted them.
"General Gao, have you ever thought about... why the emperor would sit on my lap?"
"..."
The woman sat on the man's lap, probably to add interest. Gao Tianye's skin was dark, and two strange pink spots crept up on his rough cheeks.
Gao Tianye has been single for most of his life. When he was suddenly asked about the things between men and women, he felt embarrassed and did not answer truthfully.
"I... don't know!"
Qin Yejue: "It means that the emperor is always above his subjects."
"The throne of Dayuan belongs to Shen Jingli alone. From the beginning to the end, she is the legitimate monarch!"
