Chapter 1001

As expected, after the ministers were silent for a bit, they all turned to look at Mo Chuan.

"Emperor, her status is not worthy of you. There are many good girls in the world, why must you make her the empress?"

"That's right, emperor, she is your junior. If this matter were to be spread to other countries, perhaps they would laugh at you."

"This matter is not good to hear. No matter what, she was once King Ding Yuan's princess, so the emperor should think twice."

The ministers all spoke up, trying their best to persuade Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan silently stood there, seriously listening to the ministers' words. He did not refute them or agree with them, which filled the ministers with more confidence and courage.

They all listed a large number of problems, pointing out the dangers of making Chen Ning the empress.

After the ministers all gave their opinions, Mo Chuan gave a cough and looked over everyone.

"Are you all done?" His voice was clear and melodious, not sounding angry at all.

The ministers all nodded.

They had already told him about the dangers of having Chen Ning as the empress, so they couldn't say anything new.

"Your meaning is the same, this one can't make her the empress no matter what, right?" Mo Chuan looked at everyone. "You're all thinking the same thing.

The ministers all nodded in agreement.

"If this one still insists on making her the empress, wouldn't this one not be worthy of being the emperor?" Mo Chuan asked again.

No one knew how to answer this question. It wasn't right to say it, but it wasn't right to say it either.

Everyone couldn't help looking at each other in blank dismay.

It was a good thing that Mo Chuan did not throw this problem to them. He quickly nodded at everyone.

"What you've said is very good and correct. Thinking for the citizens and for this one, this one also agrees with what you've said. Making Chen Ning the empress is indeed a very inappropriate matter. If I make her the empress, this one will become the laughing stock of other countries and will be looked down upon by the citizens. It will go against common sense and will not be tolerated by the eyes of the world. I will be criticized by everyone and will become a great sinner of the West Chu Country."

Mo Chuan said in a calm voice.

The ministers all let out a sigh of relief and revealed a smile on their tense faces.

"Emperor, we ministers are all doing this for your good, for the good of the country, and for the citizens. Since you've thought it through, I ask the emperor to take back the decision to make Chen Ning the empress."

"But this one has decided to make her the empress." Mo Chuan looked at everyone with a playful gaze.

The ministers' mouths fell open as they looked at Mo Chuan in disbelief.

Mo Chuan revealed a faint smile. In front of everyone's shocked gazes, he said again, "Even if there are many bad things about making her the empress, this one has already decided. In this life, she will be my, Chu Mo Chuan's, only empress. If you want this one not to make her the empress, there is only one condition."

"What condition?"

The petrified ministers all anxiously asked. Their eyes were filled with anticipation as they looked at Mo Chuan.

"You can choose someone else to be the Emperor. As for who the new Emperor wants to choose as his Empress, I naturally don't hold any authority. What do you think?"

Mo Chuan took out the jade seal from his chest and gave it to the leading minister Xie.

Prime Minister Xie's face paled. He shook his head and didn't dare to take it.
