The last will and testament made by the late emperor long ago!
Of course, the ministers in the court would choose to believe it.
Not to mention the will of the late emperor, even if Zhao Min said it was the will of Genghis Khan, they would choose to believe it.
Now that things have come to this, who would dare to voice any opposition?
All the civil and military officials in the court shouted in unison: "The late emperor was wise!"
Zhao Min was secretly delighted, "Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty is dead, and the new emperor is young. Next, I need someone to give me advice so that I can legitimately take charge of the government."
Zhao Min turned her gaze to a man named Zuo Hongtu.
This person held the position of Grand Tutor in the Yuan Dynasty court, a first-rank official with high power and influence. He was also one of the first people to be won over by Zhao Min.
Zuo Hongtu immediately understood what Zhao Min meant with just one look.
Zuo Hongtu quickly knelt on the ground.
"Empress, the late emperor has passed away, but the prince is still young. He is not old enough to handle government affairs."
"I suggest that from today on, you will handle the government affairs of the Yuan Dynasty. When the prince reaches the age of twenty, you will return the power to him."
Zhao Min pretended to be embarrassed and said: "How can that be possible? I am just a weak woman after all. When the late emperor was alive, I could help manage the government affairs, but now that the late emperor is gone, if I continue to control the government affairs, wouldn't I be criticized?"
Zuo Hongtu was already feeling helpless, and he said with some resentment in his heart.
"Just pretend. I just cried with you for three hours in the Hehuan Palace. My voice is hoarse, and you still haven't pretended enough."
After organizing his thoughts, Zuo Hongtu quickly spoke.
"Empress, the Yuan Dynasty is currently unstable, with rebel kings rising up in various parts of Jiangnan. Who in the Yuan Empire is capable of stabilizing the situation?"
"Although you are a woman, your talent is so great that even all the civil and military officials in the court combined cannot match one ten-thousandth of yours."
"You led troops to war three times."
"First battle against Zhang Shicheng, a great victory"
"Fight Chen Youliang again and win again"
"You fought Zhu Yuanzhang three times, burned down countless mountains, and returned to the court victorious without bloodshed."
"Your talent is unprecedented. If you don't take charge of the government, who else is qualified to do so?"
After Zuo Hongtu took the lead, all the civil and military officials in the court knew what to say.
The scene in Hehuan Hall was played out again.
All the ministers in the court knelt on the ground in unison.
"Empress, the Yuan Dynasty is currently in an unstable political situation. For the sake of our ancestors' country and its people, we beg you to take charge of the government."
"If you don't take over the government, we won't survive"...
Some civil officials have already started preparing to bang their heads against the pillars.
The military generals saw this and were furious.
"Why are the brains of these civil officials always one step ahead of theirs?"
All the military officers in the court quickly drew the scimitars at their waists.
They put the scimitars in their hands to their necks and said: "Queen, if you don't take charge of the government, we will commit suicide immediately."
"Yes, if you are talented enough not to govern the country, who else would be qualified?"
"In my opinion, even if you want to return power to the Crown Prince, you can't wait until he's twenty. In my opinion, you should wait until he's seventy before returning the government to him."
At this time, Zhao Min was forcing herself to look sad.
She almost laughed out loud at the words of these generals.
"When the prince was 70 years old, I was already over 90 years old. How could I have lived to such an old age?"
Zhao Min looked at all the officials in the court and forced herself to suppress the joy in her heart.
She knew that there was no need to pretend anymore. If she continued, those generals who were already stupid would really get themselves killed.
Zhao Min slowly said: "My dear ministers, since you are all forcing me to die, I can only do it reluctantly."
"From now on, I will temporarily take charge of the Yuan Dynasty's government. I hope you can support me because I am a weak woman."
…
Half an hour later, the morning court ended.
Zhao Min was exhausted, and so were all the officials in the court. After accompanying Zhao Min for a day and a night, this group of people were finally able to go home and sleep.
As for the deceased Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty, you can deal with him however you want.
It would be best to follow the traditional Mongolian customs and give him a grand sky burial, letting the hungry vultures cleanse his sinful soul...
…
That night, Zhao Min took the most important step in her life.
And Zhang Wuji, who was far away on Guangmingding, was also busy with the most important thing in his life.
On this day, Zhang Wuji arrived at the Ming Cult's new army camp early.
In the past few days, Yang Xiao recruited nearly two thousand new soldiers. Together with the previous ten thousand people and the original disciples of the Ming Cult, Zhang Wuji now has seventeen to eighteen thousand people in his hands.
Inside the military camp, Yang Xiao ran over immediately after seeing Zhang Wuji.
"Master, you are here."
Zhang Wuji nodded gently: "How is the training of the new army going?"
Yang Xiao replied: "Everything is still proceeding as planned, but it is not an easy task to train so many new troops."
"These people have never experienced the killing on the battlefield. They may have enough momentum, but it's hard to say if a real fight breaks out."
Zhang Wuji nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke to Yang Xiao.
"Uncle Yang, the way you are training them right now may be a little wrong."
"For these new recruits, you don't need to teach them those overly complicated fighting moves now."
