Chapter 1163 Opposition
The corner of Luo Qinghan's mouth curled up in a mocking arc.
He said with a chill.
"You are afraid that the future emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty will have foreign blood flowing in his body, but Nan Yue is not afraid.
They didn't care about these trivial matters at all. As long as the child was born by the imperial concubine, no matter who the father was or whether it was a boy or a girl, they were willing to accept him.
Although the imperial concubine has married me, she is still the King of Nanyue, and the children she gives birth to have the right to inherit the throne.
Even if I am the Emperor of Dasheng, I cannot stop her from letting her child return to Nanyue to inherit the throne."
The cabinet ministers immediately became anxious.
It's like buying something.
They saw a very valuable piece of jewelry on the shelf, but for various reasons they were reluctant to buy it. Suddenly someone intervened and wanted to buy the jewelry without even bargaining.
Who can bear this?
Must buy!
Elder Feng said anxiously, "Your Majesty, how can we give the princes and princesses of our Great Sheng Dynasty to other countries? This is absolutely not allowed!"
The other four cabinet ministers followed suit.
"Your Majesty, please stop the imperial concubine from sending the child to Nanyue!"
Luo Qinghan leaned back and looked at them leisurely: "I do want to keep the child, but you have to give me a legitimate reason."
The cabinet ministers knew that the emperor was forcing them to make a choice.
They complained bitterly in their hearts, but could only make concessions on the surface.
Elder Feng: "Since your majesty has decided to appoint the noble concubine as the queen, then the children born to the queen are legitimate. Whether they are the eldest princess or the eldest prince, their status and position are extraordinary and they cannot be given to others."
Luo Qinghan: "The ancestral system of the Great Sheng Dynasty has always been to establish the eldest son as the heir. If the concubine gives birth to a legitimate prince, I will appoint him as the crown prince. You should not object at that time, right?"
How dare the ministers object?
With this opposition, not to mention the crown prince, even the eldest prince would be snatched away by someone else.
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Whatever decision you make is correct. We have no objection."
Luo Qinghan was finally satisfied.
Five cabinet ministers came out of the imperial study.
They stood at the door, looking at each other, and smiled bitterly at the same time.
If it had been when the emperor had just ascended the throne, the five of them would definitely not have obeyed the emperor's wishes so easily.
But now the emperor holds great power and has firmly established his throne.
Once he is pissed off, he can overturn the negotiating table in front of him at any time. By then, no one present will be in a good situation.
Anyone who dares to go against the emperor at this time is either really stupid or stubborn and not afraid of death.
Clearly the cabinet ministers are neither.
The reason they compromised was, on the one hand, that they really didn't want the princes and princesses of Da Sheng to be taken away by others, and on the other hand, they were under pressure from the emperor.
They did not dare to go against the emperor, so they could only do things according to the emperor's wishes.
Elder Feng shook his head and said, "I am old anyway. In two years, I will go home to retire. From now on, the court will be ruled by the young!"
After saying this, he walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back.
A clever eunuch nearby immediately ran over and held Lord Feng's arm.
"Sir, please walk slower."
The other four cabinet ministers also sighed.
Lord Feng can go home and retire, but they can't.
When they thought of the emperor's increasingly unpredictable temperament, the four of them felt under tremendous pressure. It seemed that they would have to be more restrained in the future and try their best to retire peacefully.
All civil and military officials in the court were headed by five cabinet ministers.
Since the cabinet ministers have already compromised, everyone else can only accept reality.
The clan members still have some opinions.
They knew more than the court officials and worried more.
Putting aside the Imperial Concubine's origin, she may have committed the crime of regicide. She is unforgivable. How can she become the Queen and rule the country? !
But none of the clan members dared to express their opposition openly.
After all, they saw with their own eyes the emperor killing the King of Huainan with one sword.
The emperor can kill any powerful vassal king at will, not to mention his relatives who can only live by relying on the favors of their ancestors. If the emperor really wants to take action against them, wouldn't it be an easy task?
No one wanted to be the first to take action, and in the end, everyone set their sights on the King of England.
In their view, the King of England is the Emperor's biological brother. Although the two had many unpleasant things in the early years, their relationship has eased in the past two years, and it seems that he is more valued by the Emperor than several other princes.
More importantly, King Ying is Emperor Sheng Yong’s biological son. He will definitely not watch the real murderer who killed his father sit on the throne of Queen.
It would be the most appropriate choice to ask him to persuade the emperor to change his mind.
So, early this morning, the clan members sent the three oldest and most senior people to the King of England's Palace.
Luo Yechen had just finished breakfast and was about to take little Hanhan for a stroll on the street when he was told that a guest was visiting.
He had no choice but to put down the chubby son and go to the front yard.
The three men did not want to make their statements too clearly. After all, the matter involved two emperors and was of great importance. They used the official rhetoric that they usually used, going around in circles and making all kinds of obscure hints, hoping that the King of England could understand what they meant.
Luo Yechen patiently listened to their chatter for most of the day, but he didn't understand a word they said.
Finally, his patience ran out and he said with a frown.
"Just say what you want to say. I hate it when people only say half of what they want to say."
The three men's expressions froze, thinking that the King of England was indeed a fool who couldn't even understand such an obvious hint.
But no matter how much they disliked it in their hearts, they dared not show it, and could only bite the bullet and continue to hint at it.
Luo Yechen felt that these three old guys were deliberately trying to tease him.
He didn't want to waste any more time talking to these three people, so he stood up immediately.
"I have something else to do, please do as you please."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The three of them suddenly became anxious.
They hurriedly called the King of England.
This time they didn't dare to hide anything anymore and just told him everything they knew.
Luo Yechen listened carelessly at first, but when he heard the later part about Concubine Xiao, he couldn't help but sit up straight.
Finally, when he learned that the imperial concubine was most likely Concubine Xiao, his expression became extremely complicated.
He had guessed this a long time ago, but it was just a guess and should not be taken seriously.
However, he did not expect that someone would tell him at this moment that his guess might be true.
The three men stared at the King of England and spoke in low voices.
"When Concubine Xiao disappeared inexplicably, we all suspected that she had something to do with the late emperor's death. Even the Empress Dowager had her suspicions, but all of these were suppressed by His Majesty.
Not only does Your Majesty have no intention of finding out the truth about the late emperor's death, he even wants to make the imperial concubine the empress. This is absolutely inappropriate!
I hope that the prince can persuade His Majesty to change his mind and not let His Majesty be fooled by the imperial concubine."
…
Good morning everyone!
Luo Hanhan: Why am I always left out of good things, but always get all the bad things?
Please give me a monthly ticket~~~~~~~~~~
