I really don't want to be a traitor

Xiang Chong, Empress Dowager Li and all the civil and military officials did not need to go hundreds of miles out of the city to meet Fan Li.

Just three miles outside Pengcheng, Fan Chun ordered people to build a high platform, saying that Chu had not expanded its territory for many years.

If a country is destroyed today, it is appropriate to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and to comfort the past emperors.

All civil and military officials thought this was reasonable, and Xiang Chong's mother and son could not give any reason to object.

Even if there were good reasons for their opposition, they did not dare to speak out.

No matter how hard the truth is, it is not as hard as a fist.

They couldn't afford to offend Fan Chun and his 50,000 soldiers, nor could they afford to offend Fan Li and his 150,000 troops who were about to return.

However, Fan Chun motioned to Xiang Chong to stand alone on the high platform.

In full view of everyone, he looked like a commodity on display, looking particularly awkward and strange.

"coming!"

"The army has returned in triumph!"

"That's the banner of Duke Jin, and the dragon chariot, it's the dragon chariot!!!"

The officials of Chu State were excited.

In fact, many people only recognize Xiang Ning as the Emperor of Chu.

After all, they are the orthodox bloodline of the late emperor!
As for Xiang Chong, his biological father is a distant branch of the Xiang family, but his biological mother is the current Queen Mother.

If not for the fear of Empress Yaoguang's power, Xiang Chong's throne would not be secure even without Fan Li in Chu.

Standing on the high platform, Xiang Chong had a panoramic view of the reactions of the ministers.

His face was livid, and for the first time in his heart he hated the officials, and even more so, Fan Li.

"If I can rely on Emperor Jiajing, I will kill you all sooner or later!" Xiang Chong thought in his heart.

The army had stopped not far from the high platform.

Where the Chinese army was defending, the ministers only saw the dragon chariot, but not the figure of Fan Li who was accompanying him.

Where is Duke Jin?

This thought arose in the hearts of all the courtiers.

With 150,000 troops guarding him, it was impossible for Fan Liduan to be kidnapped on the way or get lost, right?
As a result, the ministers' eyes gradually focused on the dragon chariot.

Unfortunately, no one could see clearly through the curtain.

suddenly!

Fan Chun raised his silver spear and pointed it directly at Xiang Chong on the high platform.

"Capture the false emperor!"

"Tear off the dragon robe and crown!"

"Wait for His Majesty and Duke Jin to settle down!"

Xiang Chong didn't expect the change to happen so quickly.

Although he has some cultivation skills, he is not very clever. He has lived in a dignified situation for many years. How can he have the ability to adapt to the situation?
Five men in general uniforms rushed onto the high platform and instantly restrained Xiang Chong's hands and feet, sealing the spiritual power of his Dantian Qihai.

He is still a loser.

"presumptuous!"

"You are bold! Presumptuous!"

Xiang Chong shouted in panic.

Seeing that it was useless, he asked Queen Mother Li in the audience for help.

"Mother, save me!"

"Eunuch Chen, take action quickly!"

When the old eunuch heard this, he was sweating profusely and stood there without daring to move.

Fan Chun's sharp eyes were always roaming around the old eunuch's vitals.

If he takes even one step without permission, he will die.

Queen Mother Li also said in horror: "You really dare to rebel? But...but the Ai family is not a fake queen mother!"

She was so frightened that she only cared about protecting herself and even forgot about her most precious son.

Fan Chun easily calmed the audience, and there was movement in the direction of the dragon chariot.

When the ministers of Da Chu noticed that the curtain had been lifted, they all knelt down in unison and shouted:
"I respectfully welcome His Majesty to return to court!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

At this time, if anyone dares to support the false emperor Xiang Chong, he should go to the Imperial Hospital to have his head treated by Dr. Hua.

Fortunately, Xiang Chong was extremely unpopular and had no supporters.

"Forehead?"

"This one……"

"My lords, why don't you get up first, and when His Majesty comes out, we can kowtow again?"

The first person to step out of the dragon chariot was Fan Li.

He stood outside the car, watching the civil and military officials from all over the court bowing down to him, with their heads pressed to the dirt, feeling quite embarrassed.

The courtiers heard Fan Li's voice and raised their heads in a daze, only to realize that they were kowtowing to the wrong person.

It turns out that Duke Jin came back in the emperor's dragon chariot?

surprise. But I wasn’t particularly surprised, I even took it for granted.

So, to get up or not to get up?

The ministers kowtowed to Fan Li and saluted, without feeling at all that they were at a disadvantage.

An old minister even knelt down and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask Duke Jin to get out of the car so that I can pay tribute to His Majesty?"

Fan Li also felt that it was quite troublesome to stand up and kneel down again.

"also."

He jumped down from the dragon chariot and stood at the front of the line of officials.

Inside the dragon chariot, someone clearly coughed twice and cleared their throat.

Along with the cough, his voice became a little more neutral and hoarse and magnetic.

Xiang Ning stepped out of the dragon chariot.

After many years, she finally saw the scene of hundreds of officials kneeling to greet her again, but it felt like a lifetime ago, everything seemed to be in a dream?

"Your Majesty...respectfully welcomes...Your Majesty returns to court!!!"

The officials finally saw Xiang Ning's appearance clearly.

Compared with the youthful and immature years ago, he is indeed a little more calm.

They were so excited!
The real Emperor of Dachu finally returned to his Pengcheng!
It’s just that His Majesty is getting more and more beautiful, ah, isn’t it? He’s getting more and more handsome?

The officials tried hard to persuade themselves in this way, but they couldn't suppress a bold guess in their hearts.

Is it dazzling?
No way?
how can that be possible! ?

They shouldn't have thought that way, but in recent years, Empress Yaoguang has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The word 'Empress' lingers in Baiguan's mind.

In the Chu Kingdom, there has never been a tradition of a woman ascending the throne.

How can people accept this?

"My dear friends..."

Xiang Ning was extremely excited.

But after meeting the officials' eyes, I could clearly feel their emotions.

Surprised?

Afraid?

Feeling overwhelmed?
Xiang Ning immediately understood what was going on.

She also panicked, and even subconsciously took half a step back. She even had the idea of ​​hiding in the dragon chariot and never coming out to see anyone again!

When the late emperor died, Xiang Ning's succession to the throne was not long enough, so she had no time to worry about being discovered by the ministers as she disguised herself as a man.

But now?
As she grows older and matures, her daughter's tenderness and charm are not hidden?

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

On the high platform, Xiang Zhan suddenly laughed loudly.

Suddenly, it attracted everyone's attention.

"Are you all blind?"

"Can you all see it?"

"she!"

"Xiang Ning!"

"She's a woman!"

"The late emperor had no son at all. Xiang Ning is not the only son of the late emperor, but his only daughter!"

"Are you going to make a woman emperor, like the Daci Dynasty?"

"Si Chen! How can you have the dignity to meet the ancestors of Great Chu after your death?"

Xiang Chong roared wildly.

From beginning to end, the five garrison generals who restrained him failed to silence him.

"Don't pay attention to him."

Fan Li conveyed this meaning with his eyes, and Fan Chun understood it.

On the high platform, Xiang Chong was shocked to see all the officials, while Fan Li was indifferent and became even more unscrupulous!
"Mother!"

"Mother, please say something!"

"Tell the officials that Xiang Ning is actually your daughter!"

Queen Mother Li also calmed down from the initial panic.

She raised her head and became the extremely noble Queen Mother again.

"Your Majesty."

"As you have heard, Ning'er is not a prince, but the princess of the Ai family who was pregnant in ten months. At that time, the late emperor had no children, so he had no choice but to temporarily pass the throne to Ning'er."

"Now that the country has a righteous king, why do you need to place the burden of thousands of miles and thousands of pounds on the weak shoulders of women?"
