Chapter 471 Endless Debate

The emperor listened to the advice of these ministers with a slight color. The more he listened, the darker his face became.

Half of these people agreed to enthrone Concubine Li as the queen, while the other half disagreed. Those who disagreed were people who were good friends with Liu Dechang, while those who agreed were people who had close contact with Yu Shiming.

He thought for a while, and glanced at everyone with a cold look. He thought he was already an old man, and the throne was passed on to Leng Yu until the day he passed it to him.

But since he took the elixir of immortality that Concubine Li gave him, he felt that he had strength all over his body, so he concluded that the pill could really make him immortal.

As long as he is alive, he can always hold the world. Concubine Li has made such a great contribution, so what if she wants her to be a queen?

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and said with hatred:

"Although I am old, I feel that I have endless strength. The greatest contribution to this is to Concubine Li. It is completely reasonable to have her the title of queen. Is Li unhappy because of my good complexion?"

When the emperor said this, his eyes emitted strange gazes, which scared Li Shangshu to tremble for a moment, and then he hurriedly knelt on the ground and quickly admitted his mistake.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of this,..."

"Don't say it again."

The emperor suddenly shook his arm and roared, "You have no intention, why should you mention my age? A few years ago, my health was indeed not good, but after the careful care of Concubine Li and Xi'er in recent years, I feel that my health is not inferior to my youth. Why can't I enthrone the queen? Not only do I want to enthrone the queen, I also decided to select the girl..."

His words surprised everyone present, and even Leng Xi did not expect that the emperor would say this.

Leng Yu, who was standing in the hall, listened to his words, and suddenly he wanted to laugh.

A few years ago, my father gave up choosing a show girl every three years due to health reasons. Now, he hasn't chosen a show girl for more than ten years. Now he is in his twilight years, and he actually thinks about the show girl?

This is really ridiculous, extremely ridiculous.

Just as he was about to raise his foot, Liu Dechang hurriedly shook his head at him and signaled him not to be impulsive. He had just been deposed as the crown prince. If he said something against the emperor at this time, it would inevitably cause the emperor's dissatisfaction. In this void, if he offends the emperor, he cannot let him come forward. He is enough.

Thinking of this, he bowed and started to speak again:

"Your Majesty, I think you should not be a talented woman now. Even if the emperor is in a strong body, there are still people in the harem who have never seen the emperor before waiting for you to come. Besides, your talented woman at this age may cause criticism from the people!"

Li Shangshu, who was trembling with fear just now, wanted to say something else, but moved his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, Yu Shiming frowned and stepped forward and bowed:

"The emperor, the old minister suggested that the queen can be enacted after the enthronement of the daughter, and it is most appropriate for the queen to do this."

Yu Shiming's words made the emperor's eyes clear a few times. He nodded, instead of looking at Liu Dechang's black face, raised his voice and announced seriously:

"Since that's the case, let the Ministry of Rites prepare to choose a date to enthrone Concubine Li as the queen, and everyone shall not have any objections."

He said this, and Liu Dechang looked up at the emperor with a cold expression, questioning word by word:

"Did the emperor insist on doing this?"

His urge to question made the emperor stunned for a moment. When he thought of the sword that the Emperor gave him, the Shangfang sword that was given to him by the emperor, and the greedy ministers, he immediately frowned with guilt.

Seeing this, Yu Shiming snorted coldly and asked loudly:

"It is probably inappropriate for Lord Huguo to question the emperor like this. The emperor is still the emperor of Daning Kingdom and the position of queen has been vacant for many years. Why can't the emperor re-enroll the queen? Will Lord Huguo forcibly stop the emperor from doing this on the grounds that the emperor is old?"

Yu Shiming's questioning made Liu Dechang's face darken instantly. He looked at Yu Shiming, raised his voice, and replied sternly:

"Mr. Yu, Concubine Li is your son-in-law's mother. Of course, you hope to be appointed as the queen. However, the position of the crown prince is still vacant. There are now three princes in the Daning Kingdom. Now, Concubine Li is appointed as the queen. What should I do if the position of the crown prince?"

Seeing that Liu Dechang had already told the truth without any effort, Yu Shiming simply snorted coldly with his nose and said to him:

"Then General Liu, you repeatedly prevent the emperor from appointing an empress, are you considering that your son-in-law has no chance to be the crown prince again? The prince makes a mistake and the emperor deposed the crown prince. This is what the whole city knows. Even if the emperor wants to establish a crown prince again, he can only choose between Prince Xi and Prince Ming. What's the point of making fun of him here?"

"I'm not making a fuss, I'm thinking about the people. Because of the Chu people, Concubine Li has a very bad reputation among the people. Now that she is the queen, I'm afraid the people won't agree."

"People? Does the emperor want to make the queen and have to obtain the consent of the people? General Liu said this a bit serious."

"alright."

Seeing that these two people were arguing, the emperor suddenly felt unhappy and asked loudly:

"I am the king of a country. Can't I make the decision on the small matter of enthroning the queen? Just do it according to what I just wanted, the Ministry of Rites, and hold a ceremony for the queen's title a day and leave the court."

The emperor hurriedly left this sentence, which may cause Liu Dechang to stop him. He stood up from the dragon throne, swayed his sleeves, and quickly headed behind the hall.

The emperor's pace of leaving was so fast that no one present could react.

The moment Leng Yu turned around, he couldn't wait to turn around and walked out of the hall. If he had a little respect for his father before, then now he was very disappointed. What the moody emperor said and did was becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

When Leng Xi saw him leave, he also smiled and left the hall with the ministers.

Yu Shiming looked at Liu Dechang standing there frowned, with a smug smile on his lips. He pretended to be humble and came to Liu Dechang, lowered his voice and mocked:

"General Liu, I thought you would take out the Shangfang sword given by the late emperor to suppress the emperor just now? Who would have thought that you didn't dare to mention this? Hahaha!"

His laughter made Liu Dechang's face instantly as cold as falling into a cold pool. He looked back at Yu Shiming with a glaring eyes, and raised his eyebrows without a smile:

"Mr. Yu, the world is so declining. I remember that you were also an honest and honest official back then, but now you have become profit-oriented because of your own interests. I really didn't expect it."
