The empress called her sister, and the goddess was willing to enter the mortal world
Chapter 23 Princess Becomes Emperor
Those who can be officials are all smart people. Under this situation, who would stop the princess from becoming emperor? Moreover, this princess is indeed more suitable to be a king than her father and brothers.
Officials who are good at changing with the wind would naturally not stop it. They only needed to be loyal to the new emperor and protect themselves.
The ministers who were loyal to the Lord were also divided into two factions. One was the civil servants who were clean but not pedantic.
One type is the old-fashioned type who are slow to accept new things.
An old official stood up and said, "It has never happened in history for a woman to be emperor. This is inappropriate. A man should take the throne to ensure the stability of the country."
Nan Wanxing raised her eyelids slightly and said, "It is natural for a man to succeed the throne, but a woman cannot ensure the stability of the country?"
She chuckled: "If the first emperor was a woman, would you still think it would be inappropriate? When has the stability of a country been determined by gender?"
The old minister seemed to think that this made sense, and for a moment he was speechless and just stood there in silence.
After years of thinking, some people still insisted on opposing it. Another minister stood up and said, "Women should learn the eight elegant arts at home, help their husbands and raise children. How can they be the rulers of the world?"
"The six arts for gentlemen and the eight elegances for women are supposed to complement each other. Women are in a weaker position and have been tolerant for a while, but have allowed this bad habit to continue until now. You even think it is natural and speak shamelessly in this court. Have you only read half of your lordship's book?" His calm tone, with its majesty, made the minister tremble.
He retorted: "Princess, your remarks are absurd. How can you make irresponsible comments on the books of sages? How can a man be inferior to a woman?"
Nan Wanxing maintained a calm expression and looked at him with contempt: "Is it a fallacy to disagree with your opinion? Can't your heart, as a man, tolerate other voices?"
"Can your theory be understood as that as long as the monarch is a man, you are willing to be loyal even if he is incompetent, and no matter how capable a woman is, she can only stand behind a man?"
The minister was choked for a moment and hummed with his neck stiff.
"In the past, the names of female generals who fought for their country could not be recorded in history books, just because they were women, so they could only be mentioned briefly. There are many men who have brought disaster to the world, but people only like to focus on those beautiful women who are the cause of disasters. Are they really the cause of disasters, or is it just a manifestation of your incompetence to attribute failures to women?"
Nan Wanxing glanced at the ministers and said, "Men and women are equal. Whether it is career or gender, I treat everyone equally. Today I am not asking for your opinions, but giving you a notice."
From beginning to end, her tone and expression were so calm, without any loss of composure: "Opposition people, stand up."
The minister just now stood up.
Nan Wanxing said calmly, "Take them away and destroy the three tribes."
"Anymore?"
Five more people stood up.
"Together, Yi three tribes."
"Anymore?"
This time no one stood up. Many ministers felt that what the princess said was indeed reasonable, but they were just prejudiced. Moreover, men and women are equal! Such advanced remarks would definitely not be realized if they were replaced by men, after all, they also had women in their families.
Nan Wanxing's eyes condensed, and a cold murderous aura spread throughout her body: "Have I given you a chance? Those who stay should assist me wholeheartedly. If you have second thoughts, your fate will be worse than theirs."
Who would dare to have second thoughts? The Ministry of War has pledged allegiance to you, and the common people know your contributions. You have these two main things in your hands, and they really think that the princess can lead the Kingdom of Nanyue to a higher level.
An old minister who was more receptive stood up and knelt down: "This old minister is willing to respect the princess as the emperor."
One person took the lead, and the others knelt down one after another: "We are willing to respect the princess as the emperor."
Nan Wanxing raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I will not attend the court these days because of the funeral of the late emperor! The coronation ceremony will be held in three days!"
Nan Wanxing dismissed everyone and looked up at the sky alone.
After a while, she was walking aimlessly when she suddenly felt her chest tighten and a rusty, sweet and fishy taste rose in her throat. She tried hard to suppress it, but as she swallowed, the discomfort was suppressed.
The whole country was in mourning, and she stayed alone in her bedroom for three days. She neither attended the funeral of the late emperor nor summoned the ministers. She just looked at the sky alone, which made Eunuch Wang very anxious.
"Princess, the coronation ceremony is tomorrow. Can it be postponed?"
Nan Wanxing looked up, not knowing what he was thinking, and said softly, "No need, everything is as usual."
She turned around and looked at the bedroom where she was alone, a trace of bright red overflowed from her mouth. She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, then looked at the blood on her hand. She smiled after not having any expression for many days.
With a "puff", she spat out another mouthful of blood. The blood kept flowing out of her mouth. She was too lazy to wipe it off and just lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
In a trance, she felt someone wiping the corners of her lips. Was it a dream?
She tried hard to open her eyes and smiled foolishly.
Ziyou looked at this guy and felt like he wanted to go blind. It was really infuriating.
"Just wipe it yourself when you wake up. I'm a mysophobe!" Ziyou said unhappily.
Looking at the bloodstains that she had already wiped clean, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "You still want to kill the gods? You don't want to be a human anymore, you want to change your race and become a ghost?"
She closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow is my coronation ceremony, will you come to see it?"
Zi You looked him up and down and said, "You're still in good health. Will you be able to get up tomorrow? It seems I came back too early."
Nan Wanxing coughed a few times after hearing this. Seeing that she was so weak, Ziyou didn't want to continue bullying her: "Why don't you use the Star Bow? You know that the bow can protect its master. Wouldn't it be healed if you just touch it?"
Her throat was dry and her face was pale as she said, "The pilgrimage hall is far away from my bedroom, and I'm lazy."
"Are you lazy? Since you want to die so much, then..." Ziyou paused.
She stood there quietly, staring at her for a long time, then looked down at the ring on her hand, her hand stroked the ring, and after a moment she continued, "Then I wish you a long life."
She gathered the energy in her palms and slowly injected it into Nan Wanxing's body. In a short while, the other's face turned rosy.
She half-lifted the other person up, and Nan Wanxing leaned on her shoulder with the force.
The corners of Ziyou's mouth twitched. She really knows how to take advantage of the situation.
"Do the officials outside know that their Majesty is so weak?"
Nan Wanxing did not feel ashamed and said frankly: "The goddess's shoulders are what many people dream of. They will not have any objections." Her eyes became a little deep: "How dare they have any objections."
Ziyou flashed with starlight and appeared a few steps away from the bed: "Few gamblers have a good ending."
Nan Wanxing blinked her beautiful eyes again and again: "I will ascend the throne tomorrow!"
The other person left. But she seemed to hear a "hmm".
