The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 476 Show of hands

Not to mention sending people to protect these two guys, Wei Zhongxian even wanted to send people to kill Chen Er and Xiao Ma, only then could he relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that it would be better to leave the affairs of the Jiangnan region to our Eastern Depot."

Wei Zhongxian spoke again, but was met with a big eye roll from the Emperor.

"Wei Zhongxian, the matter is settled. There's no point in discussing it anymore. Let's wait here for Chen Er and Xiao Ma's triumphant return."

The emperor spoke with great enthusiasm, but this only drew ridicule from many people.

“Your Majesty, I believe this matter is of utmost importance. Why don’t we vote on it by raising our hands? What do you think?” said an old man who had a good relationship with Wei Dongxian.

It is clear that in the past, whenever the emperor and Wei Zhongxian had even the slightest conflict, everyone would use this method to resolve the issue.

In the end, it was always the emperor who opposed it, and this time the outcome is also certain, which is why this old scoundrel made such a suggestion.

Upon hearing the general's words, the emperor exclaimed in surprise, "I think we should vote by raising hands. I'd like to see who still supports me now!"

Although the Emperor's words sounded very calm, they were actually full of threat.

This can be interpreted as meaning that if I don't have support, then my future days will be difficult.

The Emperor's recent performance has been far from satisfactory, leaving many people puzzled as to what he is really up to.

Many people think that the emperor has gone mad. Why has the emperor been using so many tricks lately? And why does he dare to openly provoke the Empress Dowager?

This was practically a recipe for disaster, with the Emperor about to break ties with the Empress Dowager, but he showed no sign of tension or fear.

"Alright, let's decide on this. Now, you can consider the proposals from both Wei Zhongxian and me, and then we'll vote by raising our hands in a moment."

The Emperor's words were clearly shouted out, and it was obvious that he wanted to use his authority to influence these civil and military officials.

Normally, the emperor is always obsequious and doesn't have any airs of an emperor, but only half a month has passed.

Since Chen Er ascended the throne, it seems that the emperor's personality has also changed, which has caused some unease among many civil and military officials.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't understand what was wrong with the Emperor. At this moment, the people who raised their hands in support had actually reached a draw, which made Wei Zhongxian's face extremely ugly.

Wei Zhongxian never imagined that he would one day be on par with the emperor. This was something Wei Zhongxian would never have thought of before.

To put it bluntly, Wei Zhongxian always used crushing methods to trample the emperor underfoot, which many people found very strange.

However, when the emperor looked closely, he discovered that many of those who supported him were actually former opportunists.

To put it bluntly, these guys haven't joined any faction; they seem to be helping no one. But they did help Wei Zhongxian in the past.

It's likely that they've recently noticed a change in the Emperor, which is why they're now wholeheartedly supporting him.

The Emperor was very pleased with all of this. He looked at Chen Er and asked, "Chen Er, who do you think should be sent to assist you?"

"I hope that this time, you can do a better job on everything in the Jiangnan area."

"However, Taiyuan is a relatively remote place, and it's quite far away. But no matter what, he is still a person of our Great Ming Dynasty, and he is also the hope of our Great Ming Dynasty."

The Emperor began to speak with great passion, and Chen Er's brows furrowed into a knot as he racked his brains.

Who should assist him? Actually, there's no need to think about it. To put it bluntly, the emperor's plan would result in a lose-lose situation, because the emperor forcibly changed Wei Zhongxian's original intention.

Wei Zhongxian originally wanted to send his own people to take over the affairs in the Jiangnan region, but the emperor had already granted him human rights.

So Wei Zhongxian was ordered to send men to protect Chen Er and Xiao Ma. It would be strange if Wei Zhongxian could swallow this insult; he would definitely take drastic measures.

Another fierce battle is inevitable, but Chen Er is already used to it. In Chen Er's eyes, Wei Zhongxian won't last more than a few days.

Chen Er hesitated for a moment, then finally found a suitable candidate: "Your Majesty, I have a good idea, but I don't know if you can agree to it?"

Chen Er asked again. To put it bluntly, Chen Er was now practically the emperor's favorite.

Whenever Chen Er is mentioned, anyone will think of the Emperor within a short time, so many people are now speculating about his identity.

I wonder who Chen Er has chosen? And who will accompany Chen Er and Xiao Ma to the Jiangnan region this time?

The Emperor squinted his eyes and nodded to Chen Er, saying, "Chen Er and I shouldn't stand on ceremony. If you have any good candidates, just say so in front of Wei Zhongxian!"

"Wei Zhongxian and I will definitely stand up for you." There was a hidden meaning in the Emperor's words.

That was the last time. The Emperor was severely reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, and it looked like she was about to kill Sun Yunhe.

In the end, the Empress Dowager forcefully suppressed the matter, which was a huge blow to the Emperor. Therefore, the Emperor is now preparing to challenge the Empress Dowager once again.

Whether it was a success or a failure, for the emperor, he had already changed himself and successfully taken a step forward. Chen Er smiled at that moment.

"Your Majesty, I think Qin Zhongting is a very good candidate. He can come with us to the Jiangnan region to help the people escape this calamity."

"Besides, we need someone to protect us, so why don't we ask Sun Yunhe to take the people from the Eastern Depot to protect our safety?" Chen Er said again.

This shows just how much Chen Er cares about Sun Yunhe, but what many people didn't expect is...

The Emperor took the initiative to have Qin Zhongting accompany him, and they went to the Jiangnan area together, which was unexpected by everyone, since Qin Zhongting was Chen Er's father-in-law.

Moreover, although Chen Er and Qin Luoshen are not married yet, they are already living together. In fact, they do not know Chen Er's true thoughts.

Qin Zhongting seems to have been getting closer to Wei Zhongxian lately, so the Emperor and Chen Er discussed it briefly.
