Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 64 Is this the fast track to becoming queen?

The people in the audience looked around, and no one wanted to be the first to stand out.

Maybe they don't think they have done anything wrong in their hearts. The people in the harem are restless, which is indeed feared by a country. But this matter also needs to be dealt with in a certain way. For example, the Imperial Censor Ma Fu was straightforward and was obviously pushed out as a sacrifice. I can't speak first and offend His Majesty and ruin my future.
The ministers exchanged information silently, and soon, the Minister of Works silently gestured to the person behind him.

It wasn't just a few officials who spoke up.

The censors of the Censorate were indeed the ones who reported rumors to the emperor. When they saw their big brother charging into battle like this, they immediately rushed out and loudly criticized Li An's crimes.

This was like turning on some kind of switch.

For a moment, the entire hall was in chaos.
Zhan Doudou winked at Gao Zhongxian, who then bowed slightly and took a few steps forward, silently observing the officials, apparently remembering something.
"All right!"

The young emperor rebuked: "If I had not asked you to discuss this matter, I would have punished you for being disrespectful in front of the palace."

She glanced at Zhuang Mohan who was sitting on the left (he had a special status and was given a chair), and remembered his conversation with her and her beloved concubine yesterday. She wanted to hint at him to break the situation, but she saw that he was also resting with his eyes closed. Feeling a little helpless, she had to ask Li An: "My beloved concubine, do you have anything to say?"

Li An smiled slightly and first glanced at the scene.
Very good. Very good.
Roughly speaking, 95% of the ministers are "behind the scenes". Do you know what this means? This means that 5% are not!
Seeing that his beloved concubine's smile had turned cold, Zhan Doudou gave him a look, signaling him to hold back and not to show his timidity and lose his composure. Well, His Majesty's implicit hint was really very implicit. Li An misunderstood again and thought that he was letting him perform on his own again! He immediately stood up and took a step forward, saying loudly:
"Since the ministers have doubts about me, I will first talk about the crime of disrespect and unfilial piety!"

Li An bowed to the little emperor and the queen mother, and said in a deep voice: "May I ask your majesty and the queen mother, have I ever done anything rebellious or said anything disobedient as Lord Ma said?"

The Queen Mother's silence and the little Emperor's shaking head had already refuted the accusation!

Now that the person involved has spoken, what else can outsiders say?

But that’s not right!
Queen Mother!

How come you are on the same side as His Majesty! Is this court still going to work? Although removing the position of Consort De will damage the reputation of the royal family, it is also to maintain your power. How can you remain silent and indifferent?
Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Li An continued, "Let's talk about the crime of privately promoting officials and guards, which is against the ancestral system!"

"There are spies and assassins in the palace, so what's wrong with me finding some people I trust to protect my safety? Besides, these people have all met with His Majesty and have received His Majesty's approval before they can perform their current duties! I would like to ask you all, which law is not in compliance with this, and which ancestral system is violated?"

"Let's not talk about the guards and eunuchs in the palace, just look at the Jinyiwei commander Shen Zhong and the Western Depot Yu Huatian. Who of these two people is not doing their best to serve Your Majesty? In my opinion, they are much better than those who are just sitting there doing nothing!"

All the ministers looked at each other.

Damn! This Concubine De is so good at talking!
Zhan Doudou chuckled quietly. She couldn't even remember the names of those people who were promoted. When did they come to meet her? It seemed that the beloved concubine was not explaining, but was just talking nonsense from the bottom of her heart!
What else can I do? Of course I have to accept all of my beloved concubine's lies.
Looking at Concubine De, who had already shown her arrogance to the fullest, the ministers were about to refute, but Li An did not give them a chance to speak, but instead continued, "As for the third charge."

"Humph!"

"Mr. Zhuang?"

Zhuang Mohan opened his eyes, sat on his seat and bowed upwards to indicate that he had heard it.

"I wonder if this lady understands honor and disgrace, and knows etiquette?"

"Your Highness is a member of the harem, and the Queen Mother will judge your words and actions. As an outsider, I should not say much. But, Your Majesty is also my disciple, and Your Highness is also my junior."

"I have the audacity to make up a few words about this matter in order to clear your name."

Although Zhuang Mohan said that he was talking nonsense, his status was there, so who would dare to say that he was talking nonsense?
Zhuang Mohan said calmly, "Your Majesty is holy and benevolent, your kindness is well-known, your virtue is well-known, and you are so great! In my opinion, Your Majesty not only understands honor and disgrace, and knows etiquette, but also should be the queen of a country and the mother of the world!"

Wow!
When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked!

Qiaodou Madai! Aren't we talking about Consort De here? Why did you suddenly change your tune and get on the fast track of "establishing the empress"?
After a moment of silence, more discussions broke out than before:

"No, Your Majesty!"

"There is no precedent for a commoner woman to be the queen!"

"I hope Your Majesty will reconsider this! I hope the Queen Mother will reconsider this!"

"Mr. Zhuang! Did you go to court drunk? How could such words come from your mouth?"

Zhuang Mohan waved his robe and closed his eyes again without saying a word. The success or failure of establishing the queen was still uncertain, but with his own comments, the name of Concubine De's "virtuous" could be said to have spread throughout the world!

It doesn’t matter what the court officials think, as long as the people of the world agree with it, that’s enough!
Would the people believe these court officials, or would they believe himself, who was known as Emperor Wenzong? He was using his own name as a guarantee!

The topic of the ministers' debate is no longer whether Li An is worthy of the position or not, whether she should sit on the throne of Consort De. The topic has completely changed! Now they are arguing about whether Consort De should be made queen!

When you want to open the window, the people inside the house refuse. When you want to lift the roof, the people inside the house say, "Let's open the window."
Soon, some different voices rang out:

"I think that Your Majesty is both virtuous and talented, and has an outstanding demeanor. She deserves to be crowned as the Queen!"

"good."

"."

All of a sudden, Zhuang Mohan's influence began to take effect.

Most of those who spoke in agreement were young officials. Although they could attend court, they mostly stood at the back of the hall due to their low official rank. In the past, they were like invisible people, but today they all burst out and made a lot of noise.

These people are young and full of energy.

As the saying goes, even a large number of ants can kill an elephant. For a moment, the sound waves faintly overwhelmed the other sound.

Bang!
Seeing that the argument was going on inside, Zhan Doudou, with a stern look on his face, angrily slammed the table once again, then stood there silently, staring at the entire audience without saying a word.

Gao Zhongxian stepped forward and said loudly: "I hope you all know that if you are disrespectful in front of the palace, you should be punished with a cane according to the rules."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shrank back. There were so many people that it was impossible to punish them all.
At this time, a person stepped out from the Censorate team.

This person had been watching the chaos in the palace silently without saying a word. But now, he stepped out from the crowd and said, "I think that who should be appointed as the Empress is the Emperor's family affair. You don't need to bring it up in the court to ask me."

This person is the Censor Zhang Jingxing who has attracted the attention of the beloved concubine. He is indeed a person who can distinguish right from wrong.

The little emperor nodded, looked at the stunned prime minister, university scholars and others below, and said with a smile: "Well said! This is my family affair, and everything should be decided by my mother!"

Turning back, Zhan Doudou lowered his body and asked the Queen Mother, "Mother?"

"Let's discuss this later~"
