Chapter 578 Ning Ning establishes her authority
The next day, in the presence of all the ministers, Shen Chou held Ningning's hand and walked step by step towards the highest position!
When everyone saw this scene, although they had some guesses in their minds, they still found it hard to believe.
Until Shen Chou announced the news of making Ningning the crown prince, there was an uproar in the court!
The old pedants who had originally been opposed to men and women serving as officials in the same court immediately started to make a fuss when they saw this scene!
"Your Majesty, this is sheer nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, allowing women to serve in the court is already against our ancestral precepts. Now, if we appoint another woman as Crown Prince, how can we face our ancestors in the future? How can we continue to make those countries willingly submit to us?"
"Yes! This is absolutely absurd."
"Your Majesty and I know that you love the princess, but you can't completely ignore the Crown Prince!"
"If you really insist on doing this, I will die in this palace!"
After the old minister finished speaking, he prepared to turn towards the pillar next to him.
The female official Mo Luo happened to be standing next to him. She grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him back.
"Old man! You're so old, why are you still crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang yourself?"
"My concubines don't even need this trick to win favor!"
The old minister staggered when his collar was grabbed so hard that he couldn't breathe. His face flushed red. He raised his hand and tried to shake off the hand of the person behind him, but Mo Qie didn't give him a chance. He grabbed his collar and turned him around.
"Old man! I just said a few words to you, why are you blushing? Are you embarrassed too? Don't worry! His Majesty and the Crown Prince are magnanimous and won't be like you. But in the future, you must think before you speak or act, and don't threaten me with death so easily."
"If I didn't know, I would have thought you were trying to rebel."
Mo Luo is the daughter of a military general. In addition, Yu Ruyue built a martial arts training ground for the female officials, so that all the female officials could practice their skills in their free time. As a result, these female officials looked weak on the surface, but in fact, each one had stronger strength than the other. Mo Luo was naturally the best among them.
The old man wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a word. He could only cover his neck. He felt dizzy and felt like he was about to see his grandmother.
Shen Chou watched the farce below with an indifferent expression. Just as many male officials wanted to step forward to stop it, Ning Ning said loudly: "Since Lord Mo has rescued the person, the others should stop making a fuss."
Mo Luo immediately let go of the person in his hand with a smile, "Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
After being released, the old man clutched his neck and coughed violently several times, then gasped for air as he regained consciousness. He immediately pointed at Mo Luo with a face full of anger, "Your Majesty, you saw it! This vulgar woman actually wanted to murder me!"
"And this is happening right in front of you. If you really pass this position to the princess, won't these vulgar women be furious? Your Majesty, I am sincerely concerned about the interests of our Great Qian Kingdom. These women should stay in the harem to take care of their husbands and children. Coming to the court will only cause a lot of quarrels and riots. How shameful! Just because men and women are allowed to serve together in the court. The people below are already in chaos. Those women who should have stayed in the harem are all clamoring to come out. How many men have been separated from their wives and children?"
"Even the wives and daughters of the officials present have rebelled, making it impossible for us to serve His Majesty wholeheartedly!"
"Even the jobs originally belonging to men have been snatched away by these women, causing many people to become homeless. This is very detrimental to our Daqian Nation!"
"Your Majesty! Please understand."
Shen Chou leaned against the dragon chair, supporting his face with his left hand, and kept knocking on the handle of the dragon chair next to him with his right hand. He looked at the old man kneeling below with indifferent eyes and did not speak.
At this moment, Ningning walked down step by step from that high position, and walked to the side of the old man with a smile on her face. She bent down, and when everyone thought that she was going to help this man up and comfort him, Ningning directly drew out the dagger from her waist and stabbed it into the man's neck!
Because the two were very close, warm blood instantly sprayed on Ningning's face, but she kept smiling. Under the horrified and shocked gazes of everyone, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the dagger.
"Oh! Such a useless thing."
"I've even soiled the gift Mother gave me! I really deserve to die!"
She wiped the dagger clean, put it back where it belonged, and continued to look at everyone with a smile.
"Come on! Keep talking! I'll see who still objects!"
No one present had expected that Her Royal Highness, who was very kind and always greeted everyone with a smile, would actually kill someone in public!
And judging from the looks of it, this princess is probably not doing this for the first time, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm and still have a smile on her face after killing someone.
The most important thing is that she is only 12 years old this year!
"Why aren't you talking? Are you all mute? Keep talking, keep arguing."
"Everyone jumped out to oppose! Haven't you been preparing for this for a long time? Why don't you continue speaking?"
Although Ningning still had a smile on her face, her sharp gaze made everyone present unable to raise their heads.
After all, this smile was so creepy that it made them dream back to when Shen Chou had just ascended the throne. This god of death also had a smile on his face, and then he personally slaughtered all those in the court who opposed his ascension to the throne.
However, there were still two stubborn ones. As soon as they stood up, Ning Ning rushed to them at an extremely fast speed, raised his sword and killed them directly.
All the officials who witnessed the whole process were stunned to look at the bright-looking girl in front of them. They didn't expect that the princess who seemed weak on the surface could be so skilled!
No!
They seem to have some misunderstanding about the princess!
Who said the princess is kind-hearted?
How could the child born by Shen Chou, the God of Killing, and that girl be a little white rabbit?
"Haha! Don't they all boast of their impressive skills and always want to fight with the female officials? How could they be so vulnerable?"
"I thought you guys had been planning for so long that you would give me a surprise, but in the end you ended up crying and making a fuss?"
"There's not even anyone who can fight."
"Is that how you are? You actually look down on women? What's going on? Are you feeling inferior? Afraid of being outdone? So you want to use such despicable means to keep women at home to take care of their husbands and children?"
"Or are you afraid?"
"Isn't it said that men are extremely brave? Where has your bravery gone? Did a dog eat it?"
"Why are you all acting like quails now? Speak up!"
Ning Ning's resounding question made the officials present feel a little ashamed.
"Answer me! Are you afraid? Are you afraid that once I take over, you losers will be completely replaced?"
