Chapter 2883 Let Cheng Jun inherit the throne
Zhu Feng thought about it, and finally said, "I want to enthrone the King of Wei as the Crown Prince. What do you think?"
“…”
Although just now, from Zhu Feng's tone, Nan Yan had already sensed this matter.
But when Zhu Feng actually told her about it, she was still a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Feng made the decision so quickly.
She thought for a moment and said, "Establishing a crown prince is a matter of state. It seems the emperor shouldn't ask me."
Zhu Feng said, "During the time I was unconscious, you showed mercy and took care of government affairs. Why are you pretending now?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she was shocked.
In fact, this matter was very frightening to her, even when she was doing it. Not to mention that Zhu Feng would settle accounts with her, if the King of Wei and she were a little weaker in the court at that time, she might have been arrested on the spot.
Now that Zhu Feng mentioned it again, she felt uneasy again.
She quickly stood up and kowtowed to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, I was truly helpless at the time. From the bottom of my heart, I truly had no intention of interfering in state affairs. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her like this and couldn't help but shook his head.
“You…”
He wanted to reach out and pull her up, but the movement caused a sharp pain in his chest wound, which had not yet fully healed. Hearing his gasp, Nan Yan looked up and quickly got up to support him.
"emperor!"
Zhu Feng took a deep breath and then said to her, "Don't talk to me about this anymore."
“…”
"If I really wanted to settle accounts with you, I wouldn't do it at this time and in this place."
After saying that, he waved at her and said, "Sit down."
Only then did Nan Yan sit next to him.
Looking at his red cheeks and eyes from coughing, she said carefully, "Actually, I haven't been able to sleep these past few days, fearing that the censors will report me."
Zhu Feng asked, "Do you think they didn't sue?"
"Um?"
Zhu Feng pointed to the brazier on the ground. Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the pile of ashes in the brazier and immediately understood: "Did they really sue me?"
Zhu Feng sneered, "These people dared not say a word when the country was in trouble, but when peace was at hand, they treated their pens as effective as swords. Humph, why bother with them?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but curse inwardly.
She was like someone who eats meat with a bowl in hand and curses her mother when she puts down her chopsticks. She had finally managed to bring peace to the world and the emperor woke up safely, but these people started to poke her in the back.
Why didn’t you dare to come and see when Zhu Feng was unconscious?
Perhaps, they were also afraid of ending up like Ge Yunli.
Thinking of this, Nan Yan also sneered.
Zhu Feng said, "I sometimes think that instead of just letting these people collect salaries from the court, it would be better to let you serve as an official. You might be more useful than them."
When Nan Yan heard this, she smiled and said, "Does the emperor really think so?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
Seeing her eyes shining, he immediately said seriously, "It's just talk, do you take it seriously?"
Nan Yan said, "Throughout history, there have been few women who have held official positions, but many who have served as concubines. I also want to see if I have the ability. However, I also know that the harem cannot interfere in government affairs..."
Zhu Feng looked at her again.
Then he said: "The harem cannot interfere in politics. It has nothing to do with whether you are a woman or not."
"Um?"
Nan Yan looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Aren't there just women in the harem? Not allowing the harem to interfere in politics means not allowing women to make decisions in the court. Why did Zhu Feng say that?
Zhu Feng said, "The harem cannot interfere in politics because the people there are too short-sighted. Look at those people in my harem. Every day they're either competing to see who has the most beads on their hairpin or the brightest color of their clothes. If such people were to interfere in politics, what would they accomplish?"
“…”
"This world is not a joke."
After hearing Zhu Feng's words, Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "So, the emperor is saying that if women are no longer confined to their small world and have broad horizons and open minds, they may not be unable to participate in politics, right?"
Unexpectedly, my words caused her to think.
Zhu Feng looked up at Nan Yan.
He thought about it himself and said, "Then how many women like this do you think there are?"
“…”
"Don't say it's one in a hundred. In my opinion, it's one in ten thousand."
When Nan Yan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh and lowered her head slightly.
Indeed, a person's vision and mind determine the height at which she can stand. Although she can rule the country from behind the scenes and even help Zhu Chengxuan solve the court's problems when he encounters troubles, she knows very well that it is because Zhu Feng gave her the status of a noble concubine and because Zhu Feng has been teaching her in the past few days.
Without him, my vision probably wouldn't have been that far-sighted.
Zhu Feng said, "Perhaps, there will come a day when a woman will express her feelings in the court, and perhaps even ascend the throne to become emperor."
Nan Yan looked at him with wide eyes.
Zhu Feng continued, "But, first and foremost, it's not about whether she's a man or a woman, but whether she has the vision and ambition to match this."
“…”
"This road is still long."
Nan Yan nodded and said softly, "I understand."
Zhu Feng said, "Okay, we've strayed off topic. What do you think of what I was about to tell you?"
Nan Yan finally came back to her senses and looked at Zhu Feng.
She blinked and said carefully, "Your Majesty, do you really want to ask for my opinion?"
Zhu Feng glared at her.
After talking for a long time, she still seemed dull.
Seeing Zhu Feng like this, Nan Yan finally thought about it seriously, and then said seriously: "Actually, I have always agreed."
"……Um?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is the Emperor's legitimate son and should have inherited the throne. Previously, the Emperor had always worried that this child was too soft and weak to handle the heavy responsibility. But this time, when something truly happened, he has become the pillar of Chengtian. This child has a promising future. I believe it's time for the Emperor to make his decision."
After hearing her words, Zhu Feng was quiet for a while.
Then he said with a half-smile: "You have many words to praise him."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I really like this child."
Zhu Feng asked, "Then, what about your own child?"
“…”
When this was mentioned, Nan Yan's heart moved slightly.
She raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng, who looked at her with a serious and solemn expression. He said, "You should know why I asked you to discuss this matter."
“…”
"Nan Yan, this is the last chance. I will tell you what's in my heart, and you should tell me what's in your heart too."
“…”
"You really don't want Cheng Jun to inherit my kingdom?"
