Chapter 357: Ancestral Rules and Regulations Are Dead

Yan Li took a sip of tea leisurely.

Okay, it feels good to kiss your husband and come all the way to surprise her.

Sure enough, no matter whether they are men or women, no matter their status, they all inevitably like the feeling of being protected.

Yan Li raised his eyes and looked at Mu Cang.

Mu Cang's expression was calm, but when the two looked at each other, a smile flashed across his eyes.

The corner of Yan Li's mouth raised, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the gloomy and ugly faces of Yan Chen and Yan Yun, and he suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

"I don't quite understand what Master Situ means." Emperor Wen Ming pretended to be stupid, "Yan Li is indeed my legitimate daughter, and she is extremely capable and has the same decisiveness as the queen. I am very pleased."

Master Situ said: "Before we came to Jin this time, we had heard about the eldest princess's fame. The closer we got to the Shengjing of Jin, the more people praised her. First of all, the eldest princess was famous and auspicious. Secondly, the eldest princess is both civil and military. She can regent and supervise the country, and can also lead troops to fight. Her abilities are not inferior to those of men. Thirdly, the eldest princess is also married to the ninth prince of the Mu Kingdom, and is responsible for the important marriage, so I think the eldest princess inherits The throne is justified.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three princes Yan Chen, Yan Jin and Yan Yun changed at the same time, and they all looked up at him in unison.

The Jin ministers were shocked and could not believe that he would say such shocking words in front of so many people.

Let the eldest princess inherit the throne?

Although many people have understood the emperor and queen's thoughts, the eldest princess is indeed the most suitable first heir in their hearts.

But is it too early to say this now?

Not to mention that the eldest princess had only just returned a short time ago and her foundation was still shallow. Even if she did do some things that shocked the officials and proved her courage and decisiveness with facts, she had lived in the Mu country for fourteen years.

Among the civil and military officials of the dynasty, the royal family, and the powerful people in the prosperous times, most of them were still strangers to her.

Even the neutral ministers who were loyal to the queen would not be able to accept a princess from a foreign country to inherit the throne in such a short period of time.

"Master Situ, are you kidding me?" Dugu Qingyun frowned, with a hint of sneer on his face, "Men are superior to women, and men are women's guide. Men have always dominated the world in Jin. When did the princess also have the right to inherit? It's simply ridiculous. "Tianlai Novel Network

Master Situ turned to look at him: "I just made a suggestion. Whether or not to adopt this suggestion is a matter for the emperor and the queen. Why is Prince Dugu so excited?"

"I think what Crown Prince Dugu said makes sense." Yan Chen said expressionlessly, "The Jin State has always had a system in which men are superior to women. Although the emperor's sister came back, she thought this system was too old and decadent, and she wanted to change it resolutely and forcefully. This situation is not something that can be changed overnight, it is a long process.”

"There is no doubt about the ability of the imperial sister, but the ascension of a princess to the throne is unheard of in Jin State. The system and concepts can be slowly changed. If it doesn't work in ten years, it will take twenty years. If it doesn't work in twenty years, it will take fifty years. But trying to subvert it in a very short time The dynasty system is obviously impossible. If this is done, all the people in the world will not be able to accept it. "

"Brother two emperors are right." Yan Jin nodded slowly and turned to look at Emperor Wen and the Queen. "The emperor father, the queen mother, and the sons and ministers also think that the princess is a princess and it is inconsistent with the ancestral system of the Jin Dynasty. They also hope that the emperor father and the emperor will be harmonious. Mother, think twice.”

Yan Li quietly twisted a piece of snack and put it into his mouth without any reaction to Yan Chen and Yan Jin's words.

"The ancestral system and rules are dead, but people are alive." Mr. Situ smiled faintly, "As far as I know, there was no precedent of a queen regent in the Jin State before. However, after Empress Jiang took the regency, the Jin State not only did not decline, but It is stronger than it has been in more than ten years. Facts have proved that if the country wants to be strong, what needs to be changed most is the concepts and perceptions of those in power. "

"Master Situ is right. If those in power dare not change their views, how can they expect the people who have no voice to change? Aren't they afraid of beheading?" General Mu agreed, "I think the eldest princess is not only a girl, but also a girl." In addition, her abilities in other aspects far exceed those of the princes of the Jin State. If she cannot be allowed to ascend the throne just because of her concept and ancestral system, it will be unfair to the Jin State. "

Yan Yun looked unkind: "My father is in his prime, and my mother is so young. The position of emperor and empress can be at least another twenty years. Master Situ and the general Mu are so aggressive at this time. I wonder why?"

"Yes, it is our own business to whom the throne of Jin will be passed on in the future. Distinguished guests from the two countries come from far away, and we should fulfill our friendship as landlords, but it concerns the internal affairs of Jin, so we do not need to worry about the envoys of the two countries. Bar."

Master Situ smiled lightly: "I don't really want to worry about it. It's just that the regent had an order before I came. We are just ministers to do our duty."

Yan Yun sneered: "The regent of your country is really worried. Have you dealt with your own family affairs in Northern Xinjiang?"

"Yan Yun." Jiang Yi frowned slightly, "Don't be rude to the envoy."

Yan Yun lowered his head slightly: "I know my mistake, please forgive me."

"I and the emperor will carefully consider the suggestions from Sir Situ and General Mu, but the Crown Prince of Jin is not in a hurry for the time being." Jiang Yi said gently, "The emperor has been recovering recently, and I can still keep up with the energy. , there is no problem in being in power for another ten years, it will just allow the eldest princess to accumulate more political achievements, win over people's hearts, and become familiar with the affairs of the family and the country, so that she can be more comfortable in doing things in the future. "

Yan Yun tightened his grip on the wine cup.

Yan Chen's expression also stiffened.

Is the queen really going to pass the throne to Yan Li?

Why?

This is the kingdom of the Yan family, the foundation that the Yan family ancestors worked hard to build. Just because Jiang Yi has been the queen for more than ten years, she is going to hand over the beautiful land to her daughter?

Yan Li came from Mu State, and her roots are in Mu State.

Her husband is the ninth prince of Mu State. They are still Mu people in their bones, and it is impossible for them to really care about Jin State.

Mu Cang came to Jin State this time, maybe just for his wolfish ambition, so he instigated Yan Li to fight for the throne!

Yan Yun stared at the wine cup in his hand viciously.

He would never let Jiang Yi and Yan Li, the ambitious mother and daughter, get what they wanted.

"Why hasn't the Ninth Prince spoken?" Emperor Wen held up the wine cup and raised his glass to Mu Cang, "The Ninth Prince is known to the world as the God of War. I toast you."

"I am a junior, so I should toast the emperor." Mu Cang raised his wine cup in return, "I just heard them arguing. I have a special position and it is not convenient for me to participate, so keeping silent is the best response."

Emperor Wen smiled and said, "It's not inconvenient. I really want to hear what the Ninth Prince thinks."
