Xie Zaixing strengthened his determination when he heard Empress Liu's trust and expectations.
He bowed deeply to Queen Liu and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's trust is Wei Chen's honor and the motivation for Wei Chen's efforts.
The ministers must go all out to guard the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty and live up to the trust of the empress and your majesty. "
His eyes were as firm as iron, and he was determined to return Zhang De's trust in him and protect the country of Da Zhou from any threats.
Xie Zaixing turned to face the ministers and the crowd in the palace, and said solemnly: "Dear ministers, at this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty is facing an internal and external crisis.
We must stand together, unite as one, and jointly safeguard the security of the country.
The country of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the foundation of hundreds of millions of people. We must go all out, not be afraid of sacrifice, and work hard for the long-term peace and stability of the country.
Therefore, at present, His Royal Highness should be invited to ascend the throne to stabilize Zhou Guo Zuo! "
Hearing this, Zhang Fuchu was extremely excited. He realized that he was getting closer to the throne.
As long as he succeeds today, today, he will be the supreme Emperor of Zhou!
But he didn't speak. Not speaking at this time was the best response.
In fact, his face was full of sadness, and he didn't seem to care about the throne at all.
However, Zhang Fujun and Zhang Fuqiang, Zhang Fu's younger brothers, were filled with hatred.
However, before the two of them could object, Zhang De was the first to jump out and object, "I don't agree. My eldest brother's body is still cold, and you people are here coveting the throne. If my eldest brother finds out, he won't be able to rest in peace! "
When Xie Zaixing heard Zhang De's objection, he frowned slightly. He knew that this issue would cause controversy, but at the same time he also realized that it must be handled properly to stabilize the court.
Xie Zaixing stood up and said in a firm tone: "His Royal Highness King De, I understand your worries and anger, but under this difficult situation, without an emperor for a long time, it will cause internal strife and foreign troubles.
For the security and stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we need a wise monarch to rule the country. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the legal heir. Since His Majesty has clearly designated the Crown Prince to succeed him when he was still alive, we should respect His Majesty's legacy. "
His tone was firm and weighty, hoping to persuade Zhang De and others to accept His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne to ensure the security and stability of the country.
At this time, other important ministers and people in the palace also joined in and expressed their support for the prince's succession.
Zhang De's eyes almost burst into flames, "Why are you so anxious? Without an emperor, how can it be that our hundreds of thousands of troops in the Zhou Dynasty are just doing nothing?
My brother's body is still cold. "
With that said, he looked at Zhang Fuchu again, "Nephew, I'm not against your ascension to the throne, but now is really not the time.
Your father and I grew up together and have a deep relationship. I really can't bear to see this scene.
If you are filial and supervise the country as the prince, I will definitely assist you with all my strength.
How about waiting for Da Zhou to get through this crisis and compensate you for the enthronement ceremony? "
Zhang Fuchu was extremely embarrassed. Zhang De pressured him with filial piety. If he refused, wouldn't he be an unfaithful and unfilial person?
How can such a person become an emperor?
At this moment, Xie Zaixing stepped forward to resolve the crisis for him, saying: "His Royal Highness King De, I understand your mood. We all know how much you miss and are reluctant to leave His Highness.
But now that the country's security is in front of us, we cannot delay Da Zhou's future because of personal feelings.
His Majesty has clearly designated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the throne during his lifetime. We must respect His Majesty's decision to ensure the security and stability of the country.
The succession of the prince to the throne is filial piety. If the prince is used to establish the country and the position of the head of the country is vacant, it will be a disaster for the Great Zhou Dynasty. "
A flash of anger flashed in Zhang De's eyes. He hated Xie Zaixing. It would be better if this old guy died on the road.
If he had known it earlier, he would have sent people to assassinate him on the road in advance. In this way, who else in Da Zhou could stop him?
Seeing Xie Zaixing push the question back, Zhang De said: "I have never said that the prince is not allowed to ascend the throne, and I have not denied the legitimacy of the prince.
I just said that at least my eldest brother should be buried before the enthronement ceremony.
Why, can’t the prince even wait for this little time? "
Xie Zaixing felt Zhang De's anger and dissatisfaction with him, but he still remained calm and rational.
He is well aware that the current situation in the country is urgent and he cannot delay national affairs because of personal emotions.
It was not a wise choice to confront Zhang De at this time. Xie Zaixing said respectfully: "Indeed, the time for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's enthronement can be delayed slightly. Since His Majesty's funeral can be properly handled, the grandness and solemnity of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony can also be ensured. .
But before that, we need His Royal Highness to assume the responsibility of supervising the country to ensure the stability of the country and the transition of power.
So, it is okay for His Majesty the Crown Prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself Emperor now. In the future, it will be okay to hold an enthronement ceremony for His Majesty the Crown Prince after His Majesty appears. "
He knew very well that if this matter could not be confirmed at this time, then Zhang De, Zhang Fujun and Zhang Fuqiang would definitely take action against Zhang Fuchu.
At present, Dazhou is leaderless. If something happens to the prince, Dazhou will really be in complete chaos.
Zhang De frowned, Xie Zaixing was really difficult to deal with.
At this time, Xie Zaixing said again: "Although Your Majesty is no longer here, the Queen is still here. I would like to ask the Queen if she can allow His Highness the Crown Prince to temporarily ascend the throne, use the authority of the emperor to control the world's troops and lead everyone through the difficulties?"
Queen Liu was stunned, not expecting Xie Zaixing to ask herself.
At this time, Xie Zaixing continued: "Queen, although Your Majesty is no longer here, as the Queen, you still have important authority and status.
Your support and guidance are crucial to stabilizing the situation in Dazhou.
At present, we are facing an urgent national dilemma. Without a clear monarch to lead, it will lead to civil strife and foreign invasion.
In order to ensure the safety and stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we need the Crown Prince to assume the responsibility of supervising the country and temporarily hold the power of the emperor.
This will provide us with a strong guarantee to weather the storm. "
Having said this, Xie Zaixing paused and continued: "Empress, your support is crucial to the ascension of His Royal Highness to the throne.
By allowing His Royal Highness to temporarily ascend the throne, he can command the world's troops with the authority of the emperor and ensure the security of the country and the transition of power. After His Majesty appears in spirit, we will hold another grand enthronement ceremony! "
Empress Liu knew that Xie Zaixing was targeting her, so she hurriedly said: "Xie Xiang's words are reasonable. The country is in crisis now. King De, I know that you have a deep relationship with His Majesty, but national affairs are important and personal feelings should be put behind." .
I hope that King Deok will focus on the overall situation. "
With that said, Queen Liu knelt down directly towards Zhang De.
