People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

They couldn't help but whisper to each other.

Establishing a new monarch is an extremely important matter, almost the same as changing a dynasty.

Before this, they had never thought of establishing a new king, but instead wanted to welcome Zhao Ji back.

After discussing for a while, they soon split into two camps. One side agreed to establish a new monarch. In their view, whether the emperor was alive or dead was now unknown. In order to stabilize the court, it was not impossible to establish a new monarch. Of course, there must be people among them who wanted to take this opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and perhaps they could even be granted official titles.

The other side believed that the emperor was still in power, and if a new emperor was appointed now, once the emperor came back, they, who had made great contributions, would become criminals and would most likely have their property confiscated and their families exterminated.

Both sides have their own reasons and neither of them can defeat the other.

Neither side would give in, and they soon started arguing.

Finally, a captain stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone, please be patient."

He looked around at everyone and said slowly, "I think we still have to listen to Master Ji."

Everyone fell silent and looked at Ji Yaohua at the same time.

Not to mention that Ji Yaohua is in charge of the Six Gates and has the support of a killing god like Lu Chen behind her, so they can only listen to her opinions.

If Ji Yaohua doesn't care, once King Zuo Wu comes back, they will definitely die miserably.

Therefore, these people still need Ji Yaohua very much.

Before this, Ji Yaohua already knew that some of these people would definitely not agree to establish a new king, but she had already made a plan.

She looked at everyone and said, "We have no choice but to appoint a new ruler. Putting aside the threat from Prince Zuo Wu, if there is no new ruler to stabilize the situation, what should we do if those troops who came to the capital to support the king have other intentions?"

"This……"

No one had thought so far ahead, but Ji Yaohua was right. With such a big event happening in the capital, there would definitely be an army coming to support the king. It would be unpredictable what would happen after they entered the capital.

Seeing everyone's thoughtful faces, Ji Yaohua said again: "If something like this happens to our Song Dynasty, once there is no emperor in charge, the surrounding countries that have long been eyeing our land will probably rise up again. By then, our land will be lost, and I don't know how many people in the Song Dynasty will be buried under the iron hoofs of foreign races."

Even the generals who had not supported the establishment of a new king just now couldn't help but nod after hearing what Ji Yaohua said.

If the surrounding countries knew that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was missing, they would definitely not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once the war broke out, none of them would be able to escape.

Furthermore, they could not bear to see the people of the Song Dynasty die tragically at the hands of foreigners.

"I will support the establishment of a new ruler."

"I, I support that, too."

"Master Ji is right. The court cannot be without a ruler for a day. The people of the Song Dynasty have suffered enough. I support this as well."

……

Everyone expressed their support.

Ji Yaohua was delighted when she saw this.

However, at this moment, a military leader asked: "Who should we make the new king?"

This question immediately stumped everyone.

"I heard that before the incident, someone assassinated several princes. Although we haven't found out who the murderer is, it is very likely that it was done by the father and son, Prince Zuo Wu and Marquis An Zhen."

"Humph, is there any need to say this? Apart from them, who else has this ability?"

"Which prince is still in the capital now?"

No one gave an answer. They had been fighting these days and had no time to care about these princes.

Everyone looked at Ji Yaohua again. With the capabilities of the Six Gates, they should be well aware of what's happening in the capital.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ji Yaohua shook her head slightly and said: "The princes were either killed or missing, and only a few princesses were safe and sound."

"Master Ji, you are not going to make a princess the emperor, are you?"

Everyone's thoughts suddenly changed slightly. They had never thought of making a woman the emperor, and it was also against the etiquette of the Song Dynasty.

"It's an emergency, that's all we can do."

Ji Yaohua said with a serious expression.

What she said just now was the truth. There are no princes in the capital now. There are only some princesses who have not had the chance to escape.

When Zhao Ji fled, he left in such a hurry that he left his concubine and daughter behind.

"This……"

Ji Yaohua's words shocked everyone.

Ji Yaohua glanced at everyone and said slowly: "There is nothing we can do about this. We will just abdicate when the emperor comes back."

Everyone thought so and agreed. If they made a woman the emperor, when the emperor returned, he would not blame them.

"I wonder which princess Lord Ji is going to establish as the emperor?"

someone asked again.

"Princess Maode, she is the emperor's favorite princess, so she is the most suitable one to be crowned as the emperor."

Ji Yaohua said.

They had also heard that Princess Maude was indeed the emperor's most beloved daughter, so after some thought they nodded and agreed.

"If everyone has no objection, let's welcome the new emperor together."

Ji Yaohua suggested.

"Okay, let's go together."

Everyone had no objection, so they went together.

There were two generals walking behind the crowd, and one of them whispered, "Brother, something seems amiss here. Does Ji Yaohua want to be the second Cai Jing and dominate the government?"

"I don't know whether she wants to be the second Cai Jing, but I'm afraid that the court will be controlled by Ji Yaohua in the future."

The other person said with a heavy face.

"Brother, should we warn the others?"

"Do you think they are stupid? Can't they see through this little trick?"

"Then why didn't they object? The capital is now under the control of our Imperial Guards. No matter how powerful Ji Yaohua is, she only controls the Six Gates and doesn't actually have that many people under her command."

"Things are not as simple as you think. First, we need Ji Yaohua to deal with King Zuo Wu. Secondly, no matter how many imperial guards we have, it will be useless. Even if we are of one mind, Ji Yaohua has a powerful person behind her who can defeat a million troops by herself. Last time, you saw the battle in the capital. It was a river of blood."

Speaking of this, both of them felt a pang of fear. It was at that time that they realized how terrifying a martial arts master could be.

“Brother, do you mean that Li Xinjun is that person?”

The general glanced at the man in front of him and whispered to him, "To tell you the truth, the emperor secretly mobilized the imperial guards to deal with him. This gave Prince Zuo Wu an opportunity. Do you think he will let the emperor come back and continue to be the emperor?"

"I see. Thank you for reminding me, brother. I almost got confused."

He was frightened. It seemed that Lu Chen would not let the emperor return to the capital safely. If they opposed the establishment of a new emperor at this time, the only outcome would be death.

He glanced at the people in front of him. Perhaps most of them had also thought of this, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves and pretended not to know.
