The good news at the border was like a dawning dawn, dispelling the haze in the court for several days.
Yan Wanwan led his army to defeat the enemy, not only recovering the lost territory, but also defeating the main force of the enemy in one fell swoop. All the people on the border were happy.
The news came back to the capital, and the government and the country were shocked, and the ministers submitted a report to praise Yan Wanwan’s achievements.
In the court, the Prince of Dongping was wearing the robe of the Regent, standing in front of the emperor with a solemn expression, with a loud and firm voice: “Emperor, County Lord Yan made great achievements this time, not only to ensure the peace of our borders, but also to promote our country’s power. I think that we should reward us to show our merits. I beg the Emperor to enthrone the Prince of Yan as a princess and expand his fief to show the great grace of the emperor.”
As soon as this statement came out, the court suddenly became an uproar.
Several old ministers looked at each other. Although it was a great thing for Yan Wanwan to repel Beidi, the princess and fiefdom were too much!
Then someone stood up and bowed, “Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible! There has never been a precedent for a woman named a princess in all dynasties. Although the county lord Yan has made outstanding achievements, the matter of being named a princess may violate the ancestral system. Please think twice!”
Another minister also agreed, “Yes, the princess is a matter of being named a princess. If this precedent is set, it is afraid that it will cause chaos in the future. I think it is a great grace to conceive the county lord Yan as a princess. Granting her a wealthy fief is enough to demonstrate the emperor’s love.”
The little emperor looked at this and that, and he didn’t know what to do. His innocent big eyes stared at the prince of Dongping, as if asking: How should I answer?
The prince of Dongping frowned slightly, and his eyes swept over the opposing ministers with a cold look, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: “My dear Lords, County Lord Yan is fighting for the country, and his life is through life and death. Is it not worthy of a princess’ title? The ancestral system is important, but it must be adapted to the times. Now that the border is stable and the people live in peace are all the achievements of County Lord Yan. Do you have to follow the old days and lose the hearts of the heroes?”
The court was in a deadlock for a while, and the ministers were all in their own opinion and argued endlessly.
In the end, I don’t know who mentioned it, “Why would you let County Lord Yan talk about it yourself?”
When the little emperor saw the prince of Dongping nodding secretly, he immediately shouted, “Xuan!”
Soon, Yan Wanwan came to the court, stood there after paying homage to the emperor, and stared at the little emperor with big eyes.
The Prince of Dongping said, “Everyone, County Lord Yan has arrived. You can say anything you have to say directly.”
Ministers, look at me, I look at you, but I never expected that the Prince of Dongping was so unkind, and actually asked them to say it themselves, how could it be easy to speak in front of the person involved!
Later, you said something, I said something, Yan Wanwan understood it. These old guys thought they should reward them, but they didn’t want to reward them.It’s too big, just give yourself some benefits.
Someone even suggested finding her a caring husband, even if she married her, she only said one thing: Haha!
She had no thoughts about the princess’s reputation, but she had to get the real benefits of fiefdom.
“Emperor!” She knelt in the middle of the hall and said righteously: “The ancestor’s system cannot be violated, and the ministers cannot be given the title of princess, so please ask the emperor to take it back.”
Her words were in line with the appetite of the ministers, and they praised her for her understanding of the general.
The prince of Dongping looked like frost, and he swept over everyone coldly, and then said in a deep voice to the little emperor: “Master, according to my opinion, you can promote Yan County Lord as the princess, and then give him the most prosperous place in Jiangnan as a fief to demonstrate the meaning of commendation.”
