On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 293: Long live Your Majesty, long live Daqian!

"Your Majesty is here!"

As Murong Wushe's roar rang out in the hall, all the ministers knelt down in unison.

"Long live my emperor."

The sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, casting fine shadows, like a golden veil, gently draped into the Golden Palace.

In an instant, a light seemed to bloom in the hall. Although the ministers did not dare to look up, they could still feel the aura coming towards them.

Murong Yan was seen wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, and the phoenix outlined by the gold embroidery thread was flapping its wings and ready to fly, so lifelike, as if it would break through the confinement and soar into the sky in the next second.

Three thousand strands of black hair were like a waterfall, tied up with only a mutton-fat jade hairpin. A few strands of hair fell on the white neck, adding a touch of tenderness.

That stunning face was not made up, but was bright and charming, her eyes were like bright stars, revealing her innate dignity and courage. At this moment, she did not draw a beard, nor did she deliberately lower her voice, and her crisp and melodious voice rang out slowly.

"Everyone loves you, please be safe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers woke up as if from a dream and stood up hurriedly, but the moment they raised their heads, the shock in their eyes was beyond words.

Many ministers' eyes were drawn to Murong Yan as if by a magnet, as if they had seen something shocking.

Murong Yan opened her red lips slightly, a faint arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, her beautiful eyes moved, scanning the crowd below the stage, and asked leisurely: "Why, my dear ministers, are you surprised to see my female body?"

The sound was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves in the court.

The ministers were stunned at first, then they began to whisper and discuss among themselves. The buzzing sound was like annoying mosquitoes and flies in summer, circling in the hall.

"This...what should I do? I've never heard of a woman becoming emperor!"

"Yes, the ancestral rules cannot be abolished. Isn't this a mess?"

"But Your Majesty has indeed achieved considerable political success since ascending the throne. How should this be judged?"

At this moment, Zhao Chongwu, a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, leaned on his ebony cane, his graying beard trembling slightly with excitement. After bowing, he summoned his courage and said loudly, "Your Majesty, according to our ancestors' rules, the throne has always been inherited by men. Your Majesty, as a woman, concealed your identity and ascended the throne. This...this is deceiving our ancestors and goes against the will of Heaven!"

After saying this, tears welled up in his cloudy eyes and his face was filled with grief.

Murong Yan heard this, but did not get angry.

She walked down the steps gracefully, her phoenix robe dragging on the ground, making a rustling sound, as if playing a war song.

Approaching Zhao Chongwu, she leaned forward slightly, looked the old minister straight in the eye, and whispered, "Lord Zhao, I want to ask you, since I ascended the throne, have I ever betrayed the country? Have I ever caused the people to become homeless?"

Zhao Chongwu was obviously stunned, shook his head subconsciously, moved his lips, but was speechless for a moment.

That's right, during Murong Yan's reign, she worked hard to govern the country, implemented many new policies that benefited the people, and investigated and punished corrupt officials to fill the national treasury. Now the people of Daqian are grateful to Murong Yan.

Not to mention that since Murong Yan ascended the throne, Daqian's national strength has recovered rapidly, and it was able to support Lin Zhenxian's march south to defeat Nanchu, and even defeat 100,000 with 5,000, ensuring the stability of the border and the people's peace and prosperity.

This kind of emperor is right.

Murong Yan stood up, her eyes sweeping across the crowd, her voice rising, "I, a woman, perform the duties of a man, toiling day and night, all for the stability of this country and the well-being of the people. If I were to be denied everything simply because of my gender, my dear ministers, is that fair?"

There was a fire burning in her eyes, which was a certainty of her own value and a declaration of war against worldly prejudice.

The young and energetic Chief Censor Wang Yanzhi stepped forward. He was dressed in a blue official robe, his face stern and his eyebrows raised. He said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, even so, a woman in power is ultimately unjust and unlawful. The ministers in the court are bound to have resentment. If this continues, government orders will be misguided and the country will be in tatters!"

Murong Yan raised her eyebrows, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. She turned and quickly walked back to the throne, sat down gracefully, and sneered, "My dear Wang, you keep saying that it's not legitimate, but is my jade seal a forgery? Was my throne stolen? In this court, which decision is not the result of my careful consideration and weighing of the pros and cons?"

She paused slightly, her eyes sharp as torches as she scanned the entire room.

"My dear ministers, now that I have spoken candidly, I hope you will set aside your prejudices. Do not cling to old ways and judge people by their gender. As my subjects and officials of Daqian, you should focus on the well-being of our country and its people. If you allow such pedantic notions to lead you to act independently and harbor resentment, how can your policies be implemented? How can the country prosper?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers looked ashamed and lowered their heads.

At this time, the Minister of War Liu Kaiwei, who had been silent, stepped forward and broke the deadlock.

"Your Majesty is wise! As a woman, Your Majesty possesses such courage and responsibility. This is truly a blessing for our dynasty and the people!"

"Liu Kaiwei, what are you thinking of by indulging His Majesty like this? This is irresponsible to the people!" Wang Yanzhi immediately jumped out to stop him.

Liu Kaiwei glanced at him briefly, then looked at Murong Yan.

"Oh. Look at the current situation. Internally, Your Majesty is working tirelessly, while externally, the Crown Prince is a man of great talent and strategy, commanding awe and power! The Crown Prince commands a large army, and his soldiers are all elite, loyal to Your Majesty! In the court, within the army, and outside, who doesn't know the Crown Prince's name, and who doesn't submit to his authority?"

This was said not to Murong Yan, but more accurately to the ministers.

That’s right, today Liu Kaiwei wants to protect the court’s public opinion on behalf of Lin Zhen!

Upon hearing this, Song Zhenglin also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I also believe that Lord Liu is right. I urge my colleagues to see the situation clearly and not sow the seeds of division in their hearts over the issue of gender. If anyone dares to harbor evil intentions and disobey Your Majesty, the Crown Prince will not stand idly by and will crush them to pieces with the force of thunder! When that happens, do not blame the Crown Prince for his ruthlessness, nor do you regret your actions!"

Murong Yan nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.

When she mentioned Lin Zhen, she did feel more confident.

Finally, Prime Minister Sima Zhong also came out and spoke.

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty and Daqian with all my heart and soul, and devote my whole life to it! Long live Your Majesty, long live Daqian!" After saying this, he took the lead in kneeling down.

The Prime Minister, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Works have all expressed their opinions and taken the lead in kneeling.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that no one can change the fact that Murong Yan is the emperor as a woman.

At this time, whoever jumps around will die.

All the ministers immediately knelt and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Long live your majesty, long live the Great Qian!"

"Hahahahahaha, my dear ministers, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

No one knew that sweat was already oozing out of Murong Yan's palms.

She was really worried that the ministers would oppose her, but unexpectedly, Liu Kaiwei stopped the discussion with just a few words and shocked the ministers.

Her throne is secure.
