Qin Feng kicked the problem back directly, and the Minister of Rites had to accept it even if he didn't accept it.
Wu Fangxu, who was fifty years old and had been the Minister of Rites for more than ten years, felt frustrated. With so many officials present, he was the only one who could handle this matter. Facing Qin Feng alone was naturally extremely stressful.
However, since the founding of Beidi, there has never been a queen.
Not to mention Beidi, even in Daliang across the street, no woman has ever been in charge.
Not to mention Wu Fangxu couldn't accept it, I'm afraid the entire Dadi and thousands of people couldn't accept it either.
But Wu Fangxu knew very well the relationship between Qin Feng and Jing Qianying, so he didn't dare to refuse directly, and his thoughts immediately changed.
"Marquis of Qin, this is what I think, why not elect a prince to be the regent first, and wait until the time is right..."
Before Wu Fangxu could finish speaking, Qin Feng had already interrupted neatly: "Okay, if you can find me a prince now, I will do as you say."
As soon as he said this, Wu Fangxu was choked again.
Qin Feng couldn't help but snorted: "Master Wu, you said so much, aren't you just trying to delay time?"
"Let the prince be the regent? Nowadays, in the whole Dadi, there is only one royal family member outside the palace, and that is Jing Peng!"
"Now that Jing Peng has fled to Bozhou, you should go and invite him back."
These words made not only Wu Fangxu tremble with fear, but also all the officials present turned pale.
Jing Peng?
This person, who is with Chen Si and Wu Kang, has fled to Bozhou and continues to resist. He is undoubtedly Qin Feng's primary enemy now. Anyone who dares to invite Jing Peng back will undoubtedly be Qin Feng's mortal enemy.
Moreover, Qin Feng said it himself just now, now only Jing Peng, a royal relative, is hiding outside, while the rest of the princes and grandsons are all in the palace.
Wu Fangxu's forehead was already covered with cold sweat. He was shocked that Qin Feng's hands and ears reached the sky and he could find out the locations of all the princes so quickly.
Before Wu Fangxu could recover from his shock, Qin Feng said coldly: "Which of the princes hiding in the palace can take on this important responsibility?"
Faced with Qin Feng's questioning, Wu Fangxu felt his legs weaken and almost fell down.
He quickly defended: "Master Qin, I would never dare to hide evil intentions. Since the princes cannot rule the world, I would like to ask Master Qin to make the decision on inheriting the throne."
Qin Feng was not in a hurry to express his position. He just sat on the chair and glanced coldly at the Beidi officials present. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "I have already said that I am a foreign minister and it is not my turn to support the new king." I spoke."
"You are forcing me to make a decision. Are you trying to accuse me of being a thief?"
Seeing everyone lowering their heads and saying nothing, Qin Feng's voice became even more disdainful: "As I said before, I am a foreign minister, not your official in Beidi. Afterwards, I will naturally pat my butt and leave. This national event will not be resolved in turn." It’s not up to me to make the decision.”
"But there are some things I can decide, like whose head I want to take off!"
"Just because you are an official now, does not mean you will still be an official the next moment! Just because you are panting now, does not mean you will be able to survive the next moment!"
Feeling the evil spirit in Qin Feng's tone, the officials present did not dare to express their anger.
Qin Feng was already polite enough to these officials, but these guys still had illusions and wanted to take the opportunity to delay.
So after eating the sweet dates, it’s time to pick up the big stick!
Qin Feng showed no mercy: "If you really can't think of a suitable candidate, why not let me be the King of Beidi?"
Qin Feng even captured the entire capital of Beidi. Even if Kaiyuan changed his title and became the founding emperor, what would happen?
The deal is done and no one can resist him.
The reason why Qin Feng didn't do this was because of Jing Qianying?
All the officials looked at each other. They really wanted Qin Feng to sit in this position. After all, Qin Feng's methods would definitely give Beidi a new look.
Unfortunately, if anyone takes it seriously, they must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
If Qin Feng really becomes the King of Beidi, he has not only been unjust to Emperor Liang, but also betrayed Jing Qianying. He will not be able to escape the reputation of being unfaithful and unjust.
Moreover, Jing Qianying became the new king, and Qin Feng succeeded to the throne, both falling into the pockets of his own family, but the political influence was not that great.
Qin Feng's words have been made so clear that Wu Fangxu can't hide it even if he pretends to be confused.
He could only respond bravely: "Jing Peng is not the only royal family member outside the palace. I know that there is another one, the late emperor's princess, Jing Yushu."
After talking so much, I finally got to the point!
Qin Feng snorted in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pretended to be calm: "Jing Yushu is a princess. If I remember correctly, there seems to be no precedent for a queen in Beidi, right?"
"Old Dadi, if a queen suddenly appears, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public?"
Wu Fangxu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said nervously: "If...we have to choose one of the two, it must be Jing Yushu!"
The implication is that as long as the princes and grandsons in the palace do not count, then the future king can only choose between Jing Qianying and Jing Peng, so there is no need to choose.
Qin Feng secretly cursed in his heart, this Wu Fangxu was so cruel, he clearly hinted that he would kill all the princes and grandsons in the palace.
There are no more competitors, no matter whether Jing Qianying is a boy or a girl, there is no doubt that he will inherit the throne.
Although Qin Feng firmly supports Jing Qianying, he cannot do such things as indiscriminate killing of innocent people. He immediately asked: "There are so many princes and grandsons in the palace, how can it be possible to choose one from the other?"
Wu Fangxu knew that Qin Feng was deliberately creating problems for himself, not only to gain a reputation but also to support Jing Qianying.
Wu Fangxu has never been so anxious in his life.
He racked his brains and thought hard.
Qin Feng is not in a hurry. He has been waiting for half a year, and Jing Qianying has been waiting for more than ten years. How long is it still?
Time passed, and it was not until nearly a stick of incense had passed that Wu Fangxu's eyes finally lit up and he hurriedly offered advice.
"Master Qin, there are only two ways for Jing Yushu to succeed to the throne."
"Either we should be prepared to suppress rebellions in various places and directly consolidate the throne by force."
"Either let His Majesty give in!"
Qin Feng was greatly disappointed. To put it lightly, the old man Beidi King would rather die than surrender, so how could he take the initiative to give in?
Wu Fangxu seemed to see Qin Feng's thoughts, and he immediately said: "This initiative is not the initiative of the other party."
"Your Majesty, after working as a clerk in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, I still know some inside facts. If His Majesty is in an unfair position, then Jing Yushu will be the one to bring order to the throne!"
Qin Feng finally became interested. He had been waiting for so long, and he had been waiting for this moment for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to take the initiative to expose the background of King Beidi.
"What's the inside story?"
Wu Fangxu gritted his teeth and finally gave up: "The death of the late emperor was caused by poisoning!"
