Chapter 189 The Empress - Zhan Doudou
Su Wenyi's reaction really stunned Zhan Doudou and Ku He.
Zhan Doudou had originally expected Su Wenyi to give a more convincing answer to dispel Ku He's doubts.
However, Su Wenyi only emphasized that he had no ill will towards Northern Qi, which made Zhan Doudou feel a little uneasy.
There was a hint of confusion in her bright eyes, and her slightly furrowed brows showed her inner worry.
She was not sure whether Ku He would accept such a response, and she was also worried that it would affect her plan to become the empress.
I don’t even know why Su Wenyi gave such an answer.
Su Wenyi refused even though he tried to throw himself at her before, so what’s going on now?
And Ku He, the great master who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, was caught off guard by Su Wenyi's answer.
He thought he could hear a clear purpose or explanation from Su Wenyi, but he didn't expect to get only such a vague statement.
Ku He's eyes revealed deep thought as he was weighing whether Su Wenyi's words were credible.
The atmosphere in the palace became more tense. Everyone was waiting for Ku He's next reaction, and Zhan Doudou was praying silently in his heart.
Praying that Ku He would accept their explanation and support Zhan Doudou to become the empress.
Finally, after a long period of silence and deep thought, Ku He finally gave in.
He sighed slightly and looked at Zhan Doudou and Su Wenyi with complicated eyes.
Although Ku He's voice was somewhat helpless, it also revealed a firmness.
Ku He slowly said: "Forget it, since things have come to this, I will agree."
"However, I have a request. If Your Majesty has a child in the future, if the first child is a boy, he must take the mother's surname."
Ku He's words echoed in the palace.
Zhan Doudou was slightly startled, and then a look of determination flashed in his eyes. "Don't worry, uncle. If that day comes, I will certainly agree."
Zhan Doudou's answer was decisive and firm. She knew that this was Ku He's bottom line and also a compromise made for the future of Northern Qi.
Su Wenyi also nodded silently, indicating that he agreed with Ku He's request.
It seems that Ku He still hasn't let go of the words "home" and "country" in his heart, and even the concept of home is above that of country.
Compared with Northern Qi, the Zhan family is more important.
However, at least his plan has been successful for now, and Ku He has agreed to support Zhan Doudou.
As for having children, we’ll talk about it later!
Maybe, by then we can even find another Fan Xian.
While Su Wenyi was thinking, Ku He slowly stood up and left.
After Ku He left, Zhan Doudou turned around and his eyes fell on Su Wenyi.
There were complex emotions in her eyes, including emotion, expectation, and a hint of worry.
Zhan Doudou sighed slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhan Doudou said, “I never thought it would come to this.
Although my uncle has agreed, the road ahead is still difficult. "
Zhan Doudou knows very well that the road to becoming an empress is full of challenges, and her marriage with Su Wenyi has placed enormous responsibilities on her shoulders.
Su Wenyi looked at Zhan Doudou quietly, his eyes revealing understanding and support.
Su Wenyi smiled and said, “Your Majesty, now that you have made the decision, there is no need to worry.
With Sean's cooperation, Shangshan Hu's support, and Ku He's recognition, who else in Northern Qi can stop you?"
Su Wenyi's words were full of confidence and determination.
Inside the palace, Zhan Doudou and Su Wenyi's eyes met. At this moment, a flame of hope ignited in Zhan Doudou's heart.
After a while, Su Wenyi and Xiao En left the palace together. The next day.
The atmosphere in the court was solemn and dignified.
Zhan Doudou was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe and a crown on his head. He sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes revealing determination and courage.
Zhan Doudou glanced at the civil and military officials below, and a strong sense of mission surged in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhan Doudou finally plucked up the courage and decided to reveal her identity as a woman and announce to the world that she had become the world's first empress.
Zhan Doudou took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said in a clear and powerful voice: "My dear ministers, I have something to announce today.
I am actually a woman. I have decided to announce to the world that I will become the world's first female emperor."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court.
All the civil and military officials were shocked. They stared at Zhan Doudou with wide eyes and astonishment.
Some ministers looked puzzled, as if they could not believe their ears; some ministers looked worried, fearing that the future of Northern Qi would be full of variables; and some ministers fell into deep thought, thinking about the impact this decision would have on Northern Qi.
An old minister stepped forward first, bowed slightly, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!
Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent of a woman becoming emperor.
Your Majesty's move may cause chaos in the world and plunge Northern Qi into crisis."
Another minister followed suit and said, “Your Majesty, a woman becoming emperor is against the ancestral system and will surely be criticized by the world.
Please revoke your order to ensure the stability of Northern Qi."
For a time, voices of opposition arose one after another.
Zhan Doudou looked at the reactions of the ministers and knew in his heart that this decision would cause huge controversy.
But she was not afraid, because she knew that she had the ability to lead Northern Qi to prosperity.
She raised her voice again and said firmly: "I am well aware that this decision will cause a lot of controversy.
But I believe that as long as I work hard, I will be able to make Northern Qi even stronger under my rule.
I hope that you, my dear ministers, can support my decision and work together for the future of Northern Qi."
The atmosphere in the court became tense and solemn. Civil and military officials looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
At this critical moment, a young minister stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think your courage and determination are admirable.
However, it is unprecedented for a woman to be crowned emperor. Your Majesty should consider this carefully to avoid bringing irreparable disaster to Northern Qi."
Zhan Doudou looked at everyone, smiled slightly, and said, "I understand your concerns.
However, this matter has already been agreed by my uncle.
Not only that, now the Jinyiwei and border troops have all surrendered to me!
Do you have any other comments?"
Zhan Doudou's words were full of confidence and determination, making the ministers feel her kingly aura.
Under Zhan Doudou's firm attitude, the civil and military officials gradually calmed down.
They began to think about the pros and cons of this decision, and even Ku He had already acknowledged Zhan Doudou's identity.
So what's the point of them opposing?
Finally, under the leadership of an old minister, all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".
"Your Majesty! I greet Her Majesty the Empress!"
"Long live Her Majesty the Empress! Long live Long live!"
