He ordered Mo Lian to personally escort Su Pin and Si Cong back to the residence of Subei King.
Qin Mo headed directly to the inner court, where the side hall of the True Martial Palace was located.
As the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, many people in the court now knew that Mo Lian was his subordinate.
Under his influence, Mo Lian's status in the Imperial Guards had also risen.
Xu Yuanliang could only turn a blind eye and not dare to offend him.
With the eyes and ears of the imperial guards, many things in the court could not be hidden from Qin Mo's eyes.
All the courtiers who were qualified to attend the court meeting were gathered in the side hall of the True Martial Palace.
Other than Si Hao's funeral, the matter they discussed was nothing more than the matter of establishing a new ruler.
She heard that even Si Hao's mother, Empress Dowager Li, was present today.
It seemed like he couldn't hold it in anymore.
Just as Qin Mo was heading in the direction of the True Martial Palace, in the side hall of the True Martial Palace.
There were hundreds of ministers present.
Some of the important officials of the Imperial Court, such as the Ministers of the Six Ministries, the Left and Right Prime Ministers, the Commanders of the Imperial Guards, and the Grand Tutor, were among them.
That was not all. There was an Emperor Stage right in front of the ministers.
He walked up the stairs. At this moment, on the left side of the Emperor Stage, there was a graceful and luxurious woman.
Although she didn't look too good, she was seated high above. It was Empress Dowager Zhao Hua, Si Hao's mother.
"This lowly official agrees with the Empress Dowager. Now that the Emperor is dead, his younger brother, Prince Lian, should succeed the throne!”
"Prince Lian is a good brother. His Majesty has given many rewards.
Since Prince Lian ascended the throne and called himself emperor, it was enough to comfort the emperor's spirit in heaven.”
"That's right, Prince Lian is indeed the best candidate for the new emperor…"
……
In the main hall, it seemed that Si Hao's national funeral had passed and it was time to discuss the selection of a new ruler.
Empress Dowager Li naturally strongly recommended Prince Lian.
Although Prince Lian was still young, he was like Si Hao, born from her.
When Prince Lian ascended the throne, her position as the Empress Dowager of the Zhen Wu Empire was as firm as a rock.
Prince Lian was still young and couldn't handle political affairs. She could temporarily assist him.
Among the royal descendants of the current Zhen Wu Empire, Prince Lian had the entire Li Clan backing him.
The clan leader, Duke Wei, Li Anbang, had the strength of a Connate third level cultivator. Coupled with the great support of the imperial family,
It was already the number one faction other than the royal family.
In addition, she had been the master of the harem for so long, how could she not have some foundation?
If she wholeheartedly supported Si Lian to ascend to the throne, how could the other royal descendants compete with her son?
Things seemed to have developed as she had expected.
As soon as she finished speaking, the officials who had been supporting her immediately supported Prince Lian.
In an instant, the entire court echoed.
The matter of establishing a new monarch seemed to have gone unexpectedly smoothly.
Empress Dowager Li's expression softened slightly.
However, she knew that with the support of the Rank-4 and Rank-5 officials she had arranged,
There was no way to make a decision.
After all, Si Hao did not have any descendants. This was the biggest flaw.
"Grand Tutor, what do you think?"
Empress Dowager Li's gaze fell on an old man in an official robe. His brows were high, and his face was ruddy. He had a scholarly air to him.
The old man was the Grand Tutor of the Zhen Wu Empire and had taught Si Hao and Si Lian before.
In a sense, he could be considered Si Hao and Si Lian's teacher.
With such a relationship, Grand Tutor He Zhiyuan naturally did not disappoint Empress Dowager Li.
He bowed and nodded. He slowly said,
"Prince Lian is talented and intelligent. He is neither arrogant nor impatient. His martial arts talent is also quite high.
If he could ascend the throne, he might become a wise ruler like the Emperor in the future.”
Seeing He Zhiyuan's evaluation of Si Lian and his support for Si Lian's ascension, Empress Dowager Li's eyes immediately revealed a trace of joy.
The big stone in his heart also shifted. He Zhiyuan could be said to have made a good start.
Empress Dowager Li nodded, her gaze shifting again.
This time, it directly fell on the heads of the two important officials in the court.
Left Prime Minister Liu Sheng, Right Prime Minister Xiao Liang.
"What do the two Prime Ministers think?"
Empress Dowager Li asked.
Liu Sheng bowed slightly to the Empress Dowager.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Liang, who was at the side, acting as if he didn't hear Empress Dowager Li's words.
He stood rooted to the ground like a block of wood.
Not to mention bowing to Empress Dowager Li like him.
This made Liu Sheng swallow the words he was about to say.
This Xiao Liang was usually shrewd, how could he disrespect Empress Dowager Li today?
There must be something wrong with things that are abnormal. It's better to be careful that trouble comes from your mouth.
Xiao Liang and Liu Sheng's silence immediately caused the entire court to fall into a strange silence.
It also caused many of the officials in the court to look at the positions of the left and right prime ministers, who were the leaders of the hundred officials. Everyone was somewhat puzzled.
They didn't hear wrongly just now!
The Empress Dowager was asking for the opinion of the Left and Right Prime Ministers.
Why didn't the two lords respond?
Empress Dowager Zhao Hua and Empress Dowager Li also felt a little awkward. From her position, she could see Liu Sheng's actions just now.
He originally wanted to speak, but he did not expect to see Xiao Liang's expression.
He forcefully swallowed back the words he was about to say.
What did these two mean?
Empress Dowager Li was a little angry, but because of their identities, she couldn't flare up.
"Left Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister, if the two of you have no objections, then Prince Lian will be the new ruler.”
Empress Dowager Li repeated the story again.
He even emphasized the words "Left Prime Minister" and "Right Prime Minister".
Silence…
After Empress Dowager Li finished speaking, the hall was still silent.
Some of the officials couldn't stand it anymore. They were hundreds of meters away.
They could all feel Empress Dowager Li's embarrassment and anger.
