Chapter 213 Li Yunrui ascends the throne and becomes emperor!
The next morning, the atmosphere in the Qing court was tense and solemn.

Li Yunrui, wearing a dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne calmly.

There was a hint of majesty and confidence in her eyes, as if the throne belonged to her.

When the civil and military officials saw this, they were immediately in an uproar.

They all scolded Li Yunrui for not being worthy of sitting in that position.

An old minister, his eyes wide open, shouted: "How can a woman like you sit on the throne? This is treason!"

Another minister immediately said: "There has never been a woman who became emperor in Qing Kingdom. You are violating the laws of our ancestors!"

The ministers were filled with righteous indignation and questioned Li Yunrui and asked where Emperor Qing was.

Li Yunrui remained calm and told the truth: "Emperor Qing is dead, and now the throne belongs to me!

As for the fact that women cannot sit on the dragon throne, this is even more unreasonable.

The tiny country of Northern Qi could allow a woman to be emperor, so my country of Qing can certainly do the same!"

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked, and their hearts were filled with grief and anxiety.

One minister immediately thought of Crown Prince Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness is the legitimate heir and should inherit the throne."

However, Li Yunrui sneered and said, "Crown Prince Li Chengqian is unwilling to inherit the throne."

After hearing what Li Yunrui said, the ministers showed doubt on their faces.

An old minister stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. We need to confirm with the Second and Third Princes in person whether they really have no interest in the throne."

Other ministers also nodded in agreement, but they were not convinced by Li Yunrui's statement.

Li Yunrui raised her chin slightly, with a hint of impatience in her eyes. She sneered, "Humph, everything I said is true.

The two of them had already made their attitude clear and had no interest in the throne.

If you don’t believe it, you can go and ask them.”

Her words were still full of confidence, as if everything was under her control.

However, the ministers did not give up.

They were well aware of the importance of the succession to the throne and could not make a decision based solely on Li Yunrui's one-sided statement.

They began to whisper to each other, discussing how to deal with this situation.

Li Yunrui's eyes were as sharp as torches as he slowly swept over the ministers below who were engaged in a heated discussion.

She paid no attention to the noisy voices and diverse discussions.

In her mind, these people are just reeds swaying in the wind, unable to influence the overall situation.

But there are a few people that Li Yunrui has to pay attention to.

Only four people can sit in the court.

In addition to the emperor, there are three other people.

They are the military representative Qin Ye.

Qin Ye's face was stern, and his eyes revealed determination and courage.

He used to wear armor and kill enemies on the battlefield, but now he is like an old man in the court.

Despite this, Qin Ye still exudes a murderous aura, as if he is a god of war on the battlefield, and no one dared to underestimate him.

His existence represents the military strength of Qing State and is an important guarantee for national stability.

Representative of civil officials - Lin Ruofu.

Lin Ruofu has an elegant temperament and his eyes are deep and wise.

He was dressed in official uniform and holding a tablet, showing the demeanor of a scholar.

As the prime minister of the current dynasty, nearly half of the people in the court are his followers!
His opinions often influence national decisions, and he is an indispensable figure in the court.

Representative of the intelligence agency - Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair, his expression calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of spirit.

He controls Qing's intelligence network and is fully aware of the domestic and international situations.

His methods and strategies are awe-inspiring.

His Black Knights even have the ability to sweep across Kyoto!
In addition to these three people, there is another person whom Li Yunrui has to pay attention to.

Among the ministers, there was Fan Jian, who looked as usual.

This person's identity is even more important, as he not only controls one of the three imperial guards, but also controls the financial power of Qing State.

His calmness and restraint make him hard to fathom.

His decisions and actions often affect the economic lifeline of Qing State.

In this turbulent situation, his attitude is crucial.

Each of these four people plays an important role.

Their attitudes and decisions will directly affect the future of Qing Kingdom.

Li Yunrui raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing majesty and dominance.

She opened her mouth and scolded the ministers, "How can you make such a commotion here? The situation in Qing is turbulent now, and someone is needed to stabilize the situation.

This princess took the throne for the future of Qing Kingdom."

Her voice echoed in the court, and the officials suddenly fell silent.

Then, Li Yunrui turned his gaze to the four people and began to ask for their opinions.

She first looked at Qin Ye and said, "General Qin, as a representative of the military, what do you think of this princess ascending the throne?"

Qin Ye frowned slightly, then revealed a simple and honest look and said: "Your Highness, I only know how to fight, and I can't read a single word.

Apart from the war, I know nothing."

Li Yunrui was secretly annoyed, but he couldn't show it.

Then, she looked at Chen Pingping and asked, "President Chen, you are in charge of the Inspection Institute, you have access to all the intelligence in the world, and you know the current situation best.

Do you think this princess is fit to ascend the throne?"

Chen Pingping smiled slightly and slowly said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is extremely intelligent, brave and resourceful. If she can ascend the throne, she will surely lead the Kingdom of Qing to prosperity."

A hint of pride flashed in Li Yunrui's eyes.

Then, she turned her gaze to Lin Ruofu and said, "Lord Lin, you are the head of the civil officials. What do you think about this matter?"

Lin Ruofu stroked his beard and said after a moment of silence: "This matter is of great importance. I dare not speak rashly. We need to consider it carefully."

Li Yunrui frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Ruofu's refusal to help.

Finally, she looked at Fan Jian and asked, "Lord Fan, you control the financial power of Qing State. What do you think of this princess ascending the throne?"

Fan Jian looked calm and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has extraordinary talent. If she ascends the throne, she will surely benefit the people of Qing."

Li Yunrui was very happy after hearing what Fan Jian said.

The corners of Li Yunrui's mouth rose slightly, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

She glanced at the ministers, then her eyes fell on Fan Jian, and she said in a clear and powerful voice: "Since the four adults all support me, then I will take the throne.

From today on, I! Li Yunrui! am the emperor of Qing! And the first female emperor! "

Li Yunrui looked solemn, his eyes revealing determination and majesty.

She raised her hand slightly to signal the eunuch beside her. The eunuch understood and immediately shouted loudly: "Announce the decree!"

A eunuch dressed in gorgeous court robes walked to the center of the court with the imperial edict in his hands and walked with steady steps.

He cleared his throat, unfolded the imperial edict, and read out in a loud voice: "The Emperor proclaims: I am a woman, inheriting the will of Heaven and succeeding the throne. Now that I have ascended the throne and become the Emperor, I will work diligently to govern the country and benefit the people. I decree this!"
