The Empress Tan Tai Zijun's eyes suddenly widened.
Su Yanxing didn't dare to look her in the eye. He lowered his eyes and continued with a stiff upper lip, "Your Majesty... This succession to the throne is the first in the history of the Beichen Empire that has not been passed down orally."
"Because Your Majesty never experienced the stage of being a Crown Princess, and you were not by His Majesty's side before His Majesty's death..."
"I'm afraid that many of the imperial family's secret information is in danger of being lost."
"Therefore, I suggest that you go to the Special Security Bureau headquarters immediately and have them retrieve all information about the late Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan and transfer it to your own mechanical intelligent storage device."
Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun was shocked. "What?! The succession to the throne is accompanied by secret information passed down orally?! Is it about the royal family, or about the emperor himself?"
Su Yanxing shook his head regretfully and said, "Unfortunately, I don't know the specific content."
"If I knew, Your Majesty wouldn't have to go to the Special Security Bureau. I would have told Your Majesty directly."
"But Your Majesty, do you think that this kind of information, this secret information that has always been passed from emperor to emperor, can be known to a third party?"
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun's face fell almost uncontrollably.
She finally understood why the royal family's mechanical intelligence determined that Huo Yushen's third general inspectorate order was beyond its authority and reported it to manual review!
And her team...
The secretarial team that thought they had "checks and balances" ingrained in them actually trampled on efficiency and priority!
The result of absolute checks and balances is that nothing can be done and no one is held accountable for any decision!
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun has always boasted that with her intelligence and education level, she would be many times better than the previous Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan!
But just a few days after ascending the throne, she suffered a heavy blow!
At this moment, she finally understood why the previous emperor had not exercised any checks and balances on the attendants and secretaries in the imperial secretariat...
Because this is her arm, it must obey her absolutely so that she can use it as if it were her own arm!
Now, she didn't know how many owners were behind this "arm" of hers, making it impossible for her to use it as she wished, and thus she missed the most important piece of information.
Who can she blame?
Blame yourself?
That's absolutely impossible!
This is the biggest shake to her status as an empress, and will make the people of Beichen Empire think that a woman being an emperor is unreliable!
The instructions are wrong and they change every day, which means they are unreliable.
Therefore, she would never admit that it was her fault.
Since it is not his fault, it can only be someone else's fault, that is, the fault of Chief Inspector Huo Yushen of the Special Security Bureau.
How could you make such a decision without consulting her, the emperor?!
But if you think about it carefully, Huo Yushen absolutely followed the procedures.
There was no way she could use this incident as a reason to deal with Huo Yushen.
She had to find an excuse...
Empress Tantai Zijun's face was as gloomy as water. She stared at High Priest Su Yanxing for a while and said, "High Priest, why are you telling me this news only now?"
"Shouldn't you have informed me of this news on the first day of my ascension to the throne?"
Su Yanxing said calmly, "Because this is not part of my duties as a priest."
"Because for thousands of years in the Beichen Empire, the succession to the throne has always been very formal."
"Because no emperor has ever died a violent death, this creates the current dilemma."
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun felt depressed.
Therefore, it is not the problem of the high priest Su Yanxing!
Whose problem is it then?!
At this moment, she felt a deep hatred for the assassin who assassinated the emperor!
If the emperor hadn't died suddenly, she would have had time to slowly plan and secure the position of Crown Princess...
In that case, the inheritance of the empire would not be cut off in her hands.
But what kind of secret information is there in the royal family that needs to be passed on orally between emperors?
The Empress Tan Tai Zijun's reason told her that it shouldn't be a big deal.
Because the imperial power has been running smoothly throughout the empire for ten thousand years, there are no royal characteristics recorded in history books that are beyond the ordinary people's understanding.
Except for this "surrender" ability.
However, she already possessed this ability.
It was with this special ability that she overthrew the eldest princess and avenged the Ying family, which allowed her to completely gain the loyalty of the high priest and make him an important endorser of her ascension to the throne.
Otherwise, even if her mother and the Li, Qiu and Rong families all supported her, it would not be easy for her to ascend to the throne.
For example, that Tan Tai and Gui, and the child in Ying Wuxin's belly...
They will all be obstacles for her.
Fortunately, the incident with the eldest princess, Tan Tai Jin Yu, not only did he get rid of the eldest princess and do the high priest a great favor, but he also killed the child in Tan Tai's belly with Gui Heying Wuxin.
She is the only one who is chosen by Heaven to inherit the throne!
However, even the chosen heir to the throne may be incapable of doing so.
For example, she never expected that the royal family of Beichen Empire still had the tradition of "word of mouth"!
Even my mother probably doesn't know about this, which is why the situation has become like this.
Empress Tan Tai Zi Jun took a deep breath and said, "Then I will summon the Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau and the Director of the Information Department to see if they can provide any useful information."
The high priest Su Yanxing suddenly felt something was wrong. Thinking of Huo Yushen's inspector general's order, could it be that he didn't have time to stop him?
