You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman Chapter 1205 (Royal Family's Inheritance)

Chapter 1205 (Royal Family's Inheritance)

Ye Yuanqing stood at the forefront of the military, while Shan Junren stood at the forefront of the civil officials. Standing beside them were several princes, all led by Huang Min, here to show support.

The royal steward stood in front of the throne, weakly announcing, "Today is the final day of judgement, where a new emperor will be decided to lead us."

"Isn't it obvious? It must be the Fifth Prince, Huang Min," someone shouted before the announcement was complete.

"That's right, the Fifth Prince is of royal blood. It's only natural for him to inherit the throne. It's his rightful position."

"The Fifth Prince was also favoured by the late emperor. If the late emperor knew, he would undoubtedly pa.s.s the throne to the Fifth Prince."

"Exactly, the Fifth Prince inheriting the throne is legitimate. When did it become the turn for an outsider, especially a woman, to become the Emperor?"

Huang Min remained silent, calmly listening to the voices around him.

The hall instantly became noisy, with all the voices directed against Ye Yuanqing, even more intense than the previous occasions.

"Quiet, please. If the late emperor were still here, he wouldn't want to hear such noise," the royal steward weakly pleaded.

This royal steward seemed to be given some face, as the voices gradually subsided.

At this moment, Shan Yu stepped forward and said, "Throughout the generations, the Emperor must have the strength to reach the realm of the Overlord, achieve military exploits, and possess n.o.ble virtues. How many of these does the Fifth Prince have?"

Shan Yu's words had never been said before, and some important issues needed to be addressed at critical moments like this one.

After all, this was the last chance, and they needed to showcase their best.

As Shan Yu spoke, it seemed that everyone became silent, because what Shan Yu said was true! Why did Huang Yun and Huang Li seek military exploits? It was to prepare for the throne. Otherwise, someone could use the excuse of having no military achievements to argue against their right to the throne.

So among these three aspects, military achievements were the most important, but they were also the most difficult to obtain. Additionally, without wars, they had to wait...

Shan Yu continued, "General Ye has reached the strength of the Overlord long ago! Not long ago, she even achieved great merit! The late emperor granted her the t.i.tle of Grand General of Valor. Yesterday evening, to ensure the safety of the entire city, she, alone, brought in intruders. This prevented a disaster. Isn't that a n.o.ble virtue?"

"What we need is a true Emperor, not someone who only knows how to talk!" Shan Yu became more and more pa.s.sionate in his speech, even ending with a sarcastic remark, sounding somewhat triumphant.

Upon hearing his son's words, Shan Junren sighed inwardly, but it was also fine. They had already offended people, and offending more wouldn't make a difference.

At this point, Huang Min spoke softly, "Prime Minister Shan, regarding the events of last night, General Ye still bears full responsibility!"

Ye Yuanqing turned her head to look at Huang Min and asked, "Fifth Prince, what responsibility does this general need to bear?"

"General Ye, you should understand the rules of the teleportation ground. It is one of the most important places in our land! Yet, you brought two intruders inside, violating a major taboo of our ancestors! What qualifications do you have to sit on this throne?" Huang Min replied.

People noticed that Huang Min was also articulate, immediately seizing on General Ye's weakness, making it difficult for her to counter.

Regarding the events of last night, the father and son had discussed it for a long time and found it unpleasant. They couldn't clear their names.

Shan Junren spoke softly, "Fifth Prince, about last night, all the Overlords were present. The opponents' strength was beyond us. If General Ye does not agree, all the Overlords, including the entire Spirit City, would be annihilated. If it weren't for General Ye's wisdom, we wouldn't be standing here now!" ṞãΝỌꞖĘ?

"And! Of these two, one can activate a teleportation device. This also indicates that, even without our presence, they could have left. General Ye's choice is the best! If we stick to rigid rules, it will only lead to the destruction of Spirit City. What we need is an emperor with intelligence and responsibility!"

Shan Junren's words largely helped clear Ye Yuanqing's name.

Shan Junren turned to Huang Min and casually asked, "Fifth Prince, may I inquire why none of the members of the royal family were present during the significant events of last night? Even the old ministers heard that everyone was preparing to pack up and leave."

Shan Yu truly admired his father. Was this the legendary three consecutive kills? It silenced the royal faction completely.

Huang Min remained calm after hearing Shan Junren's question and turned to him, saying, "Prime Minister, why do you support someone from an outside family? If the late emperor knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't forgive you."

"Fifth Prince, the old minister supports a wise monarch. It has nothing to do with the surname. If the late emperor were still alive, he would certainly appreciate the old minister's choice."

Shan Yu almost burst into laughter upon hearing his father's words. If the late emperor knew, he would probably jump out of the coffin in anger. But there was nothing they could do. The royal family declined in this generation, mainly because Ye Hua eliminated both Huang Li and Huang Yun. If one of them were still alive, Ye Yuanqing wouldn't be in this situation.

It seemed that Ye Hua had planned this way, clearing the path for his sister.

At this moment, Ye Hua wanted to say, "You've guessed it all, it seems like this venerable one's hiding isn't deep enough."

Huang Min remained calm, which puzzled Shan Junren. Did he have some hidden cards?

Seeing that his father was silent, Shan Yu stepped forward and said, "General Ye is wise and courageous, fully capable of sitting on the throne and leading the entire Spirit City!"

At this point, the Ye family faction began to fan the flames. On the other hand, the initially fiery royal faction was completely silent, each member red-faced.

They couldn't find any counter arguments because Huang Min really... had nothing! He had only a royal t.i.tle, and that was it!

The most basic three prerequisites were lacking.

At this moment, Huang Min calmly asked, "Prime Minister Shan, are you suggesting that the royal family cannot inherit the throne now?"

Shan Junren frowned and whispered, "If the royal family has someone who meets all three conditions, naturally, we will support. But the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince... sigh..."

"It seems that Prime Minister Shan has forgotten something," Huang Min said lightly.

Shan Junren was momentarily stunned, asking curiously, "Please enlighten me, Fifth Prince."

"Do you know what the royal family's inheritance means?" Huang Min asked lightly.

Shan Junren suddenly had a bad feeling.

The royal family all selected the Emperors of past generations.

But previously, they were all pre-selected. This time, it was an accident. However, in general, they were still members of the royal family. There had never been an outsider.

Those three conditions evolved slowly and eventually became a tradition.

'But these three conditions also seem to be dictated by the royal family. I just took advantage of a loophole.'

'However, at this point, I can't just bow down easily!'

"The royal family's inheritance requires capable individuals to take on the responsibility!" Shan Junren said in a deep voice.

Huang Min chuckled lightly after hearing this, a mocking laughter, mocking that you understand nothing.
