Chapter 437 Waiting for someone who may come back at any time.
Yun Zhao looked away again without any emotion.
The discussion below was in full swing, while Yun Zhao was drinking tea calmly.
Just as the leaders were about to fall out, Yun Zhao saw someone stand up and said, "I believe that the new emperor must be a man of great talent, virtue, and broad-mindedness. His abilities in all aspects must be top-notch. The previous emperor left no heirs, so we should choose a capable person as the new emperor. This is the best explanation to the people."
When Yun Zhao heard these words, he knew that she was coming.
Yun Zhao looked at the man and asked, "Is that so? Then tell me, who is this person in your mind? He is talented, virtuous, and broad-minded, and he will not let the people down?"
Mu Chengyan stood aside and listened quietly.
I don’t know why, but I always feel that there is a strong sense of sarcasm in Yun Zhao’s words.
Is he so unbearable in her heart?
Mu Chengyan was in a bad mood.
Yun Zhao heard someone say with a smile at this time: "I think the Regent is very suitable to be the new emperor. He has assisted two emperors before. In terms of virtue, talent, and ability, he is fully qualified."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The third are waiting and watching.
The other one-third who supported Xie Jingmo were stunned.
They never knew before that Mu Chengyan was also planning to become the new emperor.
Everyone was stunned for a long time, only Yun Zhao was sober and sat on the high seat.
There was chaos below because of this sentence.
Yun Zhao sat there and listened.
Xie Jingmo's side said: "Do you have any shame? This is the Xie family's world! Why change the surname to Mu!"
Mu Chengyan's side said, "Who is shameless? We don't deny that this is the Xie family's world, but as the late emperor's mentor, what's wrong with Mu Chengyan inheriting the throne?"
Xie Jingmo's side said: "To inherit the throne, doesn't that mean changing the surname?"
Mu Chengyan received a hint from Mu Chengyan and said, "Mu Chengyan is the late emperor's mentor. It's okay to change his surname to Xie. That way, the Xie family will still rule the country!"
Mu Chengyan doesn't care about these things.
But it’s just a civilian account, who actually holds the world in his hands is the real thing!
Mu Chengyan is very rational.
Xie Jingmo was furious. "You've lost all your dignity. You want to change your surname? We have people here with the original surname Xie. We don't need you!"
The people on Mu Chengyan's side were also angry. "Really? Then where is your man surnamed Xie now? Today is the first day of the court, why is he not here? He clearly doesn't care, doesn't value, and disdains it! How can we entrust the world to such a person?!"
The people on Xie Jingmo's side were immediately frustrated, "You...!"
Mu Chengyan's men immediately pressed forward, "If General Xie truly considers himself a member of the Xie family, then why didn't he come today, at such an important time? He clearly doesn't care about the affairs of the court. How can such a person be the new emperor?"
The people on Mucheng Yan's side are very arrogant.
They all knew that Mu Chengyan had the imperial edict of succession, and Mu Chengyan would be the new emperor in the future.
Whoever contributes most to Mu Chengyan at this time will become a hero in the future.
The people on Xie Jingmo's side were indignant, but Xie Jingmo did not show up. They were unsure and did not dare to be too domineering.
Because Xie Jingmo's people gave in, Mu Chengyan's people became even more arrogant.
To the extent that, a one-sided situation appeared in the court.
Mu Chengyan looked a little proud.
However, he dared not show his smugness, and could only smile slightly, looking like—
I didn't want to at first, but everyone seemed so kind that I couldn't refuse.
Deputy General Gao was so anxious that he kept wiping his sweat. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he slowly stepped back and was about to withdraw.
But someone suddenly shouted, "Deputy General Gao, where are you going?"
Deputy General Gao had already retreated to the door and was only one step away from leaving.
Stopped by this voice, he pursed his lips and walked back to his seat.
Mu Chengyan laughed, "Deputy General Gao, at such an important time, it's better for you not to wander around. Stay here and wait and see how the situation develops, isn't that better?"
Mu Chengyan had a smug smile on his face.
Yun Zhao sat on a high seat with a cold look in his eyes.
"I asked General Xie to do something for me, so you came late." Yun Zhao said lightly.
The people who were arguing below suddenly became quiet because of Yun Zhao's words.
"Empress Dowager...I would like to ask, what are you sending General Xie to do?"
Yun Zhao's eyes were cold, and he gave a short laugh. "Why? Now that I have given you instructions, do you think I need to report this to the Minister of Revenue?"
The Minister of Revenue immediately knelt down and said, "I dare not."
Yun Zhao didn't let him get up, so Mu Chengyan asked, "General Xie, since you're going to do something for the Queen Mother, will you be back today? Or will you not be coming back?"
Yun Zhao: "Today's court affairs are urgent, so he will naturally return. But didn't you say that? The affairs of the new emperor are of great importance. You should discuss them first."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chengyan's brows slowly frowned.
The people standing on his side also looked at Mu Chengyan.
The same doubt is in his eyes——
When will the imperial edict of succession be brought out?
Mu Chengyan was silent for a long time.
He didn't take it out on purpose.
First, Xie Jingmo has been trying to win over his subordinates during this period, and it is obvious that he wants to compete with him for the position of the new emperor.
Secondly, he had a decree of succession, and the world must belong to him. He wanted to throw the decree of succession in Xie Jingmo's face and watch him groveling in front of him. Only then would he have avenged himself for so many years!
If Xie Jingmo was not here, I feel that the sense of satisfaction from taking out the edict of succession would be lost.
Since Yun Zhao said that Xie Jingmo was going to do something for her and would be back later, Mu Chengyan thought about waiting a little longer.
So, Mu Chengyan gave his subordinates a look.
The servant immediately understood and bowed respectfully to Yun Zhao, "Empress Dowager, today's matter is of great importance. I think it would be better to wait until General Xie returns to discuss who the new emperor will be."
Everyone in the room understood what he meant.
Are you going to wait for Xie Jingmo to come back and step on him in front of him?
Everyone on Xie Jingmo's side clenched their fists!
Looks like he's ready to go!
Yun Zhao sat calmly in the court, with no expression on his face.
Mu Chengyan was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Yun Zhao shouldn't have such an expression. Didn't she always hope that Xie Jingmo would sit on the throne?
Mu Chengyan didn't know why.
I feel a little uneasy.
He wanted to ask Yun Zhao what he meant, but the occasion was not appropriate.
He had no choice but to wait patiently.
Time passed by minute by minute.
A room full of people were waiting.
Fu Hai walked silently to Yun Zhao's side and said, "Empress Dowager, how about I go find General Xie?" All the civil and military officials in the court were waiting, and the scene was really creepy.
Others don’t know.
But how could Fu Hai not know?
Yun Zhao never met Xie Jingmo, nor did he ask Xie Jingmo to do anything.
then.
A room full of people just stood there waiting silently.
Waiting for someone who won't come back until someday.
