Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

The princess could act on her whims; for example, she could shout to kill King Cheng in front of everyone.

But the crown prince cannot, and neither can the emperor.

Han Ling glanced at Zheng Bai, whose face and lips were white, looking just like someone who was about to die, and watched as the man nodded slightly.

It's not that the crown prince is unaware, it's that he's going down the wrong path and stubbornly persisting to the end.

The Minister of Justice stepped forward and stated that, according to the laws of the Great Yong Dynasty, all those who plotted rebellion would be beheaded and their heads displayed to the public. The sixteen-year-old son of the criminal would be hanged, and the criminal's children, wife, and others would all be reduced to government slaves.

Since the discussion concerned the emperor's son, he considerately kept the prisoner's parents, brothers, and sisters silent.

The prisoner's uncles, nephews, and other relatives were exiled three thousand li away.

Wei Qi knew this law, and he also knew about the three people in the family that the Minister of Justice had not mentioned, so he concluded that the Minister of Justice was a flexible person.

"Please speak up and share your opinions first, then I'll listen."

The ministers were taken aback again. It was the ministers who were testing Princess Chenzhao, but she had changed the subject again.

The crowd had no choice but to answer; they weren't some low-ranking officials who could simply nod and agree.

They are the prime ministers who hold power over the entire country.

If you can't answer a question about treason, do you still want to keep your job?

Emperor Yongwen's lips curled up, his eyes clearly indicating, "This is my child, so what?" She dared to throw the question back, which already showed her courage.

To guess the assessment was a sign of intelligence.

A wise ruler dares to be different from others.

Hey hey hey.

My child is the best!

In addition, Wei Qi did something else: she asked her trusted confidante, Yi Yue, to record what the gentlemen had said.

As each person offered their opinion, Wei Qi mentally recalled the stance his future father-in-law had mentioned to him, listening to the unspoken meanings behind their words.

Han Ling, Zheng Bai, and Minister Kang were the pro-leniency faction.

They felt that stability was of utmost importance; at the very least, the deposed crown prince could not die, he had to live until the new crown prince took control of the court.

Yu Xiangong and others belonged to the faction of the Emperor's trusted confidants. They wanted to eliminate anyone who threatened the Emperor's safety.

Wei Qi waited until they finished speaking, and it looked like they were about to start arguing.

She tapped on the imperial desk in front of her.

His brows were furrowed; even before becoming the crown prince, he already had the habit of an emperor scolding people.

"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket? If anyone knew you were gentlemen, they would think you were street vendors."

"It's so noisy, it gives me a headache."

The middle character is emphasized in pronunciation.

The ministers stared wide-eyed. Was he really that impatient? No wonder His Majesty called him the "first son."

They then stole glances at His Majesty's gaze.

Having just ended a rebellion, I wonder if His Majesty harbors any reservations.

Emperor Yongwen's eyes were full of satisfaction, his lips were upturned, and his whole body radiated the joy of his good fortune, without a trace of the sensitivity and anger that others might have tainted him.

The ministers exchanged glances.

Your Majesty, you weren't like this before.

You're guarding against the deposed crown prince like you're guarding against a thief.

In response, they could only lament that the deposed crown prince was born at the wrong time; he was not born with a girl named Wei Qi.

Also: The differences between people are truly vast!

Seeing that the Crown Prince remained silent, clearly waiting, Han Ling, as the Left Vice Minister, took the initiative to speak first: "Your Majesty, before dealing with the treason, I have something to report."

Those who knew him well and were quick-witted stared wide-eyed at him.

"Without a crown prince, the nation is unstable."

"Your Majesty," he knelt on the ground, his face full of sincerity, "I beg Your Majesty to establish a Crown Prince, so as to rectify the foundation of the country and reassure the people."

"Oh?"

Emperor Yongwen wanted to burst into laughter, but at this crucial moment, he could only hold back and remain silent.

He needed to calm down before laughing loudly.

"You are my right-hand man and the head of all officials. Who is worthy to be the Crown Prince and the future emperor?" Emperor Yongwen gave him an opportunity to praise the Crown Prince.

Han Ling remained unfazed by the emperor's trickery: "Princess Chenzhao is loyal, respectful, kind, and benevolent. Her filial piety and benevolence are natural, and her integrity and righteousness are cultivated through her virtue. Her auspicious signs are evident from the beginning, and her wisdom and intelligence are constantly evolving."

"I propose that Princess Chenzhao, Wei Qi, be made Crown Prince."

Yu Xiangong was the first to agree, and he gave Han Ling a disdainful, subtle glare.

He should have been the one to petition for Princess Chenzhao to be made crown prince.

"I second that opinion."

As he spoke up, the others bowed and said, "We second your proposal and request Your Majesty to establish Princess Chenzhao as the Crown Prince."

Yu Xiangong: "..."

Despite rising to power through smooth talk, he actually lost.

He glared at the people who used to treat him with hostility.

Emperor Yongwen felt as if he had taken an elixir of immortality, feeling completely refreshed. As a wise ruler, he naturally agreed to the requests of his many important ministers.

"it is good."

"Scholar Gu, draft the imperial edict. I wish to appoint my son, Wei Qi, as Crown Prince."

"Tomorrow morning, announce it to the world."

Wei Qi's eyes curved into crescent moons with laughter. She was truly delighted. According to regulations, she lightly drew a line across the face of the person who plotted rebellion.

Prince.

No, the deposed crown prince.

One quarter past midnight.

The imperial edict arrived at the Dali Temple's male prison.

First, there was the imperial edict deposing the crown prince and reducing him to a commoner; second, he was imprisoned in a mansion specially provided by the emperor outside the palace, never to leave for the rest of his life.

As for the third and fourth princes, they were not worth keeping alive. Moreover, the ministers also had to consider the emperor's thoughts. Emperor Yongwen was furious at the idea of ​​killing his sons.

I have to let out a sigh of relief.

Therefore, the person delivering the imperial edict was carrying a pot of wine and a wine cup at the same time.

He was sentenced to death.

As for those who conspired with them in the rebellion, they were jointly tried by the Court of Judicial Review, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate. Once the charges were determined, their punishments would be discussed.

The prime ministers issued their orders one by one.

Wei Qi slept peacefully.

Meeting the next day.

Once her position as crown prince was established, all the officials addressed her as "Your Majesty."

The Great Yong Dynasty welcomed a new leader.

After the court session, the first thing Wei Qi had to do was to gather all the officials from the Eastern Palace. She went directly to her father, the Emperor, to ask for them.

She arranged for all her companions to reside in the Eastern Palace. Emperor Yongwen hesitated, pointing to Han Shi and their names, "They have never held official positions before. Is this inappropriate?"

Wei Qi: "Their excellent academic performance proves that they are not mentally challenged."

"Besides, Father, I've never been the crown prince, but I still became one. They've never held official positions, but they did. It's not bad."

"Besides, everyone learns little by little. I believe they are no worse than those who passed the imperial examinations."

"Of course, if it really can't be done, I will take action."

Emperor Yongwen, hearing that she wasn't blindly nepotistic, finally nodded, "Alright, I hope they won't betray your trust."

When the eunuch went to deliver the imperial decree, he made sure that Han Shihe and others knew about his concerns and the Crown Prince's trust.

After Wei Qi selected the women for the Eastern Palace, she also ordered the Ministry of Works to renovate the palace so she could move in.

After dealing with each matter one by one, she realized she had forgotten something.

Upon arriving at Kunning Palace, they learned that the Empress Dowager had gone to Dali Temple prison.

She then remembered that her elder brother had been imprisoned.
