Chapter 347: Selection of the New Emperor

It hurts so much, did Your Highness beg to go around Lan'er? "Lan'er had a pleading expression on her face, and her mouth was a bit unclear because it was pinched. 23us didn't want Chu Jingnan to sneer, so he let go of her face and replied, "Okay, but you betrayed me, and you'll have to pay the price." With that, he reached out his finger and gave Lan a hard swipe on her face.

Lan is a teenage girl with fair and delicate skin.

At this moment, with such a strong stroke from Chu Jingnan, a two inch long blood red mark appeared on her fair face.

This mark appeared on such a beautiful face, instantly adding a touch of ferocity.

Lan's face ached as she ate, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise before starting to cry.

Upon hearing Lan's crying, Chu Jingnan kicked her and Lan was knocked unconscious by him on the spot.

Seeing Chu Jingnan being so cruel, the other women, although frightened, dared not say a word of no again.

When Chu Jingnan was about to kick again, he was stopped by Chu Jingchou. Wu Di, she's just a girl. Why are you so angry? I'll give you a few more

When speaking, Chu Jingchou clenched his fist with his hand hidden in his sleeve.

I shouted in my heart: scumbag, you embarrassed me in front of me. If that day comes, I will definitely break you into pieces.

But he couldn't get angry at this moment, so he had to endure.

Chu Jingchou was originally just a casual remark, but Chu Jingnan unexpectedly accepted it all. Okay, Third Brother is really loyal. Why don't you all give it to me? "Seeing Chu Jingchou's embarrassed expression. Chu Jingnan felt a wave of relief in his heart. He patted his shoulder and said, 'Third brother, you don't feel sorry anymore, do you?'

Chu Jing sneered lightly, "How could that be? Are you overthinking it

That's good. But I'm just afraid of you. I promised with my mouth but didn't want to. But don't blame me, Third Brother. I heard that the Third Princess is also a rare beauty. I'm afraid you have too many beauties and you won't be able to lose weight. "Chu Jingnan laughed heartily after speaking.

Chu Jingchou couldn't laugh at all and couldn't help but sigh, "It's better that the fifth brother is young, young and strong. No matter how many beauties there are, they can handle it. It's their luck that you can see them, and they can't be happy enough." Chu Jingchou signaled to the remaining beauties, who obediently came to Chu Jingnan's side. No one dares to say a word 'no' anymore.

Chu Jingnan felt even more proud when he saw that his previous performance had had a deterrent effect. At this time, he had not yet become the emperor, and he felt so good. If I were to sit on the emperor. He is not the only one who has the the final say of everything in the world. He can't help laughing when he thinks about it.

Chu Jingnan received the white silk handkerchief handed over by the servant and wiped away the bloodstains on his hands. The person next to him asked Lan what to do, but he glanced at Lan who hadn't fainted for a long time. How can such an ugly woman dare to confront me and serve me in front of me? I can't help but tarnish my eyes. Come on, since she doesn't want a good life herself, why don't you send her to those soldiers who have been thirsty for a long time? I'm sure they will be happy to accept it

After Chu Jingnan finished speaking, he burst out laughing and walked away with his beautiful woman.

Ruan Chengyin and Feng Lingyang witnessed this scene and only walked over after Chu Jingnan had left.

After exchanging pleasantries and seeing that Chu Jingchou was in a bad mood, Ruan Chengyin comforted him, "Your Highness, there is no need to be angry about this matter. Those who achieve great things are not bound by small details. If you feel sorry for that girl, you will have to pay a high price to redeem her later. There are really not many girls with such integrity now

Chu Jingchou glanced at Ruan Chengyin and said, "Thank you very much! I didn't expect you to still be on my side at this time

Hey, you two are just talking, don't forget me? "Feng Lingyang also stepped forward and leaned in.

The three of them then smiled knowingly.

The Fifth Prince is arrogant, extravagant, and impetuous. He is too arrogant and forgetful, and he will definitely not achieve great success. Your Highness, rest assured

Chu Jingchou pulled out a bitter smile on his lips. He didn't have many troops to mobilize, and compared to the power of the Fifth Prince and Empress Chen, he was undoubtedly a stone's throw. And Ling Fei, who could have helped him, has also been placed under house arrest. What can he do? He looked at Ruan Chengyin with a bitter smile and said, "But the timing and location are favorable, and he has taken over all the people. What can I do

Do we also have favorable timing, location, and people? "Feng Lingyang understood and said.

Chu Jingchou couldn't help but see other colors in his eyes, as if he had thought of something and quickly separated from them. Just said, 'It's getting late, you guys should prepare quickly and go in?'

Feng Lingyang whispered, "It's up to people, as long as you dare to think

Chu Jingchou had already taken a few steps, but upon hearing the following sentence, he couldn't help but pause his steps and then resolutely walked forward, even faster and faster.

Due to this small incident, a few people were delayed here for a while. When they walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony from different directions, they saw that it was already overcrowded.

The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony, up and down, surprisingly had no fewer than a few hundred people. For a moment, the crowd here was bustling, not lively, but everyone was whispering below, wondering who to support as the new king.

With the sound of Zhao Gonggong's words and the prolonged shout of 'going to court', everyone gradually calmed down.

At this moment, Empress Chen, dressed solemnly in mourning clothes, sat behind the hanging curtain with a solemn expression, leaning against the emperor's dragon throne.

According to the rules of the Great Chu, before the emperor passes away and a new emperor is established, everything in the court can be managed by the first person in the harem, the empress. But because women are not convenient to come forward, there is a saying of watching politics behind the scenes. Then, several highly respected ministers are usually selected from among the ministers to serve as regents and assistants.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down and their gaze had shifted to the top position, Duke Zhao remained calm and took out a prepared imperial edict. As a minister, kneel down and listen to orders.

Everyone saw that these words were just imperial edicts without saying anything, and thought they were the last photos of the late emperor before leaving. They all knelt down and shouted 'Long live!'.

Zhao Gonggong looked displeased at the person below and said, "This letter is from the Empress's mouth. Listen carefully, everyone

The ministers below had different expressions, but now was not the time to speak, so they could only kneel down to receive orders.

Zhao Gonggong then cleared his throat and read, "By heaven's will, the empress has issued a decree. My late emperor, King Ming of Chu, was wise throughout his life, with achievements in the present and benefits for generations to come. Unfortunately, heaven envied talented individuals and caused them to fall like stars, causing deep sorrow in my family. Therefore, the whole country mourned for three days, wailing and lamenting. However, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so the matter of the new ruler must be put on the agenda..." The following is an explanation of some other things.

After the Queen's oral edict was read out, the venue fell silent. But there are still some loyal officials below.

King Ruan Cheng has always been uncomfortable with Empress Chen, but because last time Empress Chen said a sentence in front of the emperor, which was to take back the military power of the Ruan family, he is still very loyal. Now that he heard that she was about to establish a new ruler so quickly, he was even more dissatisfied, so the first thing he did was to step forward.

Your Majesty, it is not in line with the ancestral legal system for the late emperor to propose the establishment of a new ruler before he has even settled in the land

Empress Chen glanced at King Ruan Cheng with a hint of displeasure on her face. Is King Ruan Cheng questioning the mourning family? The establishment of a new king and the duty of filial piety to the former emperor are not contradictory. Moreover, such things are not uncommon in the early court. Now that the throne is virtual, some people may have ulterior motives and make inappropriate actions after a long time. Some people even use illness as an excuse to not bow in front of the emperor even now. Poor me Nan'er, I have been guarding from last night until this morning. Who has filial piety and who is more tactful in doing things? I believe everyone has a clear idea, right

After Empress Chen finished speaking, more than a dozen ministers immediately walked out together and shouted loudly, "I am willing to appoint the Fifth Prince Chu Jingnan as the new emperor. The Fifth Prince has both literary and military achievements, and is the most suitable candidate for the emperor. I hope you can learn from him

Seeing more than ten ministers speaking out together, Empress Chen turned her gaze to Feng Qingyun and the Right Minister.
