Chapter 1002

"What, you don't understand this one's meaning? This one is determined to make Chen Ning a concubine, this is already lacking in virtue and is not fit to sit on the throne. It's best if you choose another capable person to be the emperor. This one feels that prime minister Xie has a good character and is suitable for this position. "

Mo Chuan gave the jade seal back to prime minister Xie.

Prime minister Xie fell to the ground with a "putong" sound and repeatedly kowtowed as he said, "Emperor, you are making this old minister's life difficult. How could this old minister dare sit on this position, emperor!"

"Teacher Xia, why don't you be the emperor?"

Mo Chuan hesitated for a bit before giving the jade seal back to teacher Xia.

Teacher Xia's face turned white as he kneeled down and shook his hands, "This old minister does not dare, emperor, please take back this order."

"I can't do this, and I can't do that. Is the throne a hot potato? Whoever wants to be the emperor, just step forward. This one will immediately write an abdication edict and abdicate. "Mo Chuan held the jade seal in his hand and his eyes swept over the ministers.

The ministers did not dare to look at him. They all kneeled down on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed.

"Emperor, please take back this order!" Everyone spoke in unison.

They could all understand now. The emperor was wholeheartedly protecting his newly married empress. He would rather give up the throne and have a beauty!

But in the West Chu country, only the emperor could protect it. If it was another person, who could manage the West Chu that was in a storm in the past to this prosperous state today?

No one could do it!

"Now that this one has done something wrong, this one naturally has to bear the consequences. As the emperor, this one has already decided to abdicate." Mo Chuan said with a serious expression.

"Why does the emperor say this? The emperor did not do anything wrong at all. Emperor, you are the ruler of a country, you can choose whoever you want as the empress! "Prime minister Xie immediately said.

He was the first to stand out and he was the first to change his tone.

"But didn't prime minister Xie personally say that if this one chose Chen Ning as the empress, it would be a traitor and the people of the world would look down on me?" Mo Chuan stared at him and said.

Prime minister Xie wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and raised his voice as he said, "That is this old minister being muddle-headed and speaking nonsense. The empress has already divorced King Ding Yuan and she has no relationship with King Ding Yuan at all, so they are not traitors at all. Moreover, the empress is beautiful and talented. If she becomes our West Chu's empress, it would be a blessing for our West Chu citizens. Emperor, this old minister is in favor of choosing her as the empress!"

Hearing his words, the ministers all muttered in their hearts: Old man is a crafty old man! "

However, everyone was impressed by Prime Minister Xie's quick thinking, and they all followed suit.

"This minister is also in favor!"

"This minister is filled with admiration towards the empress!"

In the blink of an eye, these ministers that were filled with righteous indignation about the dangers of having Chen Ning as the empress, were now all praising Chen Ning.

This change in face was so fast that even Empress Dowager Zhou did not expect it.

For these ministers to be able to reach their current positions, which one of them wasn't a good person? Seeing the emperor take out the jade seal and saying that he would abdicate, who wouldn't understand the emperor's intentions?
