C524 The Woman Called Herself the Emperor

Three days passed quickly. If nothing unexpected happened, today would be the day Chu Rouer ascended to the throne.

The ministers were waiting outside the hall early in the morning. Compared to the previous court sessions, it was two hours earlier. In fact, it was impossible for anyone to sleep. Because the fate of Chu Kingdom had become precarious, and a woman had claimed the throne. It could be said that this was a precedent that had never happened since the ancient times. The thought of men and women being superior to each other had been deeply rooted in everyone's mind since ancient times. It could be imagined how much resistance Chu Rouer would have to face in order to ascend the throne. It was not only the officials who strongly protested, the people were also in an uproar. The angry shouts were like a flood!

There were even some who rushed to Chu Lih's residence overnight. In their minds, as a member of the imperial family, Chu Lih also had the qualifications to inherit the throne. In terms of temperament and ability, he was much stronger than Chu Rouer, the princess. He was the most suitable candidate to become the emperor of Great Chu.

They initially thought that Chu Lih would gladly accept their suggestion, but they didn't expect that Chu Lih's facial expression would change drastically after knowing their intention. Before they could say anything, he sent someone to chase them out of the mansion. That furious expression was definitely not fake. They couldn't understand. Could it be that there was really someone in this world who wasn't interested in the throne?

The ministers left with regret and confusion, but they didn't give up on the idea of stopping Chu Rouer from becoming the Emperor. Although they had been rejected by Chu Lih, they firmly believed that as long as they were firm enough, they would be able to change the direction of the court. In short, a girl must never become the Emperor!

As the officials waited anxiously, the morning assembly finally arrived. Chu Rouer was wearing a royal robe and a crown on her head. She resolutely stepped into the hall with Ou Yezi and the others following behind. Following Ou Yezi's shout, "Announce. " All the officials stepped into the hall. A few of them knelt down. They shouted "Long live" but more people chose to watch coldly from the sidelines. The expression on their faces was one of disdain.

"How dare you! Why aren't you kneeling before the Holy Emperor? Are you trying to rebel?!"

As soon as Ou Yezi said this, Ling Yun immediately led a group of Imperial Guards into the hall, their killing intent as sharp as blades. They pointed at the officials who refused to kneel. Soon, some of them could not help but kneel under pressure, but there were still more than twenty officials who gritted their teeth and did not kneel. It could be said that they were proud and unyielding!

"That's enough. All of you withdraw. "

Seeing that those officials were about to die, Chu Rouer suddenly said faintly. Upon hearing this, Ling Yun did not hesitate at all. He directly led the Imperial Army out of the hall like lightning and continued to wait for orders.

Chu Rouer's gaze swept across those officials who stood upright one by one. Her tone was somewhat dignified as she asked, "The Heavenly Dao is supreme. As the Son of Heaven, seeing me is like seeing the heavens. Why don't all of you kneel down?"

"If it is really the Son of Heaven of Great Chu, we will naturally kneel. But if you want us to bow our heads to you, we would rather die than submit!"

The Punishment Minister, Lin Ye, stood with his hands behind his back and said proudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, The more than twenty officials behind him also voiced their agreement, and the content was basically the same as what Lin Ye had said, that they would do anything to protest this matter to the end, even at the cost of their own lives.

"Impudent! It was the will of the previous emperor to allow the princess to inherit the throne of Great Chu. Are you all going to defy the decree?! " Ou Yezi shouted.

Seeing that it was him who stood out, the expressions of Lin Ye and the others turned ugly. After all, Imperial Advisor was the number one Imperial Advisor of the seven kingdoms. Across the entire court and the people, who would dare to be disrespectful to Ou Yezi? Their respect for him was no less than that of the previous emperor. He was also the undefeated war god, Dou Tianlai, the two heroes of the Great Chu. In terms of influence alone, it could be said that he could cover the sky with one hand.

"Imperial Advisor, please calm your anger. It's not that we don't respect the decree. This decree was really strange. First of all, It's unprecedented for a girl to call herself the Sovereign. If it really happened, wouldn't the Great Chu become the laughing stock of the six states? Being despised by the people of the world. Secondly. . . Since it was the will of the late emperor, why didn't he show up? What was even stranger was that the prime minister also disappeared at this critical moment. With all these factors combined, how could we believe that this decree was indeed left behind by the late emperor? I hope Imperial Advisor can give us an explanation!"

No matter how proud and arrogant Lin Ye and the others were, they would never dare to act rashly in front of the legendary number one of the seven kingdoms, Imperial Advisor.

"If it's just because of this, then you don't have to be obsessed with it. These things are supposed to be made public to the public. Since you can't wait any longer, so what if I tell you the truth?"

Ou Yezi's body trembled, and he said in a clear voice, "I believe everyone already knows about it. The Empress has always been suffering from a strange disease, and every time she gets sick, she will have a splitting headache. As for the Emperor's infatuation, it should be known by everyone. Just because the Empress's illness had become more and more serious recently, the Emperor could not bear to see the person he loved suffer such torture. He resolutely gave up this throne to visit the immortal mountain spirit realm, only wanting to find a way to break it for the Empress "

"As for Prime Minister Lee Fu, he did not disappear but because the Emperor abdicated the throne, he felt tired and resigned. So you all do not need to randomly suspect this matter. Since ancient times, words have stopped with the wise. I believe that all of you will do the same. All of you are not people who do not know how to be flexible. The above is the entire truth. Do all of you still have any doubts? "

These words were naturally woven from lies, but they were all white lies. If the officials knew that Chu Feng was not looking for medicine, but was buried deep in the mountains. . . Lee Fu did not resign, but had other secrets. The court was in chaos, and the court was in chaos. The people would not be at peace. When the time came. . . Chu Kingdom would be completely destroyed.

This matter was huge, and the reality didn't allow Ou Yezi to make any other choice. Even if he would suffer the wrath of the heavens or retribution, he would have no regrets!

"Forgive me for this, but there is one thing that Imperial Advisor hasn't given me a complete explanation for. "

Lin Ye paused for a moment. He said righteously: "It has never happened before for a girl to become a monarch. If it really happened, how would we have the face to face the late Emperor of the Chu Clan and the people of Chu Kingdom? When that time comes, the people of the people will be disunited and the country will fall apart. Could it be that even with Imperial Advisor's judgment, he would still allow such a ridiculous thing to happen?"

"It has never happened since the ancient times. It might not be impossible now. It cannot be in the future, and the princess is the only son of the Emperor. It is only logical for her to inherit the throne. Why would the Chu Clan's previous Emperor blame her? As for the people of Great Chu, their eyes were bright. If they could make the country prosper, it would be good for a man. It doesn't matter if she's a woman or not, she must be a wise man in their hearts!" Ou Yezi said righteously.

Lin Ye was instantly rendered speechless by Ou Yezi's refutation. He was stunned for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, I, Lin Ye, will never agree to the matter of this woman becoming the Sovereign!"

"How dare you! The matter of the princess ascending the throne. It is the will of the heavens and the people's will. How can you ruin the whole situation because of your opposition!"

Ou Yezi shouted sternly," The previous emperor has ordered that if anyone dares to disobey the new emperor's appointment, I will take full authority to handle it. Men, arrest all these rebels who openly defied the decree! "

Before he could finish his words, Ling Yun immediately led a group of Imperial Guards into the main hall. Just as he was about to detain Lin Ye and the rest, a guard in charge of giving orders rushed into the hall in a hurry.
