The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Chapter 400: The Queen Regent, Acting as the Government

The eunuchs brought a few chairs and the court officials sat down one after another. Duke Anguo and Duke Peiguo sat on Qi Ziyu's left and right.

Jia Zhongchun and Ling Yuefeng sat down in turn, and Pei Wangjie and Boya sat down last.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Boya. They didn't expect that Marquis Boguang would appear in the palace.

As everyone knows, this Marquis Boguang donated wealth that was enough to rival a country to Daxuan, which is truly admirable.

Qi Ziyu saw that everyone was seated, and then he spoke: "My dear ministers, I am weak, you have all seen it..."

Qi Ziyu's face was pale, his brows were slightly furrowed due to the occasional pain in his body, and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself."

Duke Anguo wiped away his tears. His Majesty is so young, yet he has gone through so many hardships and even the oil lamp has worn out. It is truly a pity that such a talented person has been spared by Heaven.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself..."

The court officials were all filled with sadness and could not help but worry about the health of His Majesty.

The Daxuan court has just been stabilized for a short time. If something happens to His Majesty, they really can't imagine what will happen.

Qi Ziyu glanced at everyone and said, "My dear ministers, I am really running out of energy, so I am leaving the affairs of state to Lord Si Yan. I hope you have no objection?"

There was silence in the emperor's bedroom for a while, and the court officials did not react for a while.

"No, of course not." Duke Anguo took the lead.

Everyone then looked at Si Yan: "No, Your Majesty."

Everyone present had witnessed Si Yan's abilities, and since the emperor had said so, they certainly had no objections.

Qi Ziyu smiled slightly and said, "Since everyone has no objection, then Lord Si Yan will live in the palace permanently in the future and assist me in handling government affairs."

The court officials were surprised. His Majesty's words were getting stranger and stranger.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.

What Your Majesty meant by this was that it would become normal for Lord Si Yan to handle state affairs in the palace in the future.

Qi Ziyu looked at Si Yan: "Thank you, Ayan."

Si Yan stood up and bowed to Qi Ziyu: "Relieving your majesty's worries is the duty of a minister."

"Ayan, sit down." Qi Ziyu's expression was gentle, and his attitude towards Si Yan was the same as always, full of doting.

Qi Ziyu looked at Boya who was sitting in the last row and said, "Marquis Boguang will also live in the palace and obey Lord Si Yan's orders."

Boya was slightly surprised, but he said happily: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Qi Ziyu and Boya looked at each other and both smiled faintly.

Qi Ziyu understood that Ayan and Boya had a close relationship.

A Yan got a lot of information from Yayue Pavilion. Now that Boya has moved into the palace, it will be much easier for A Yan to do things in the future.

"My dear ministers, in order to make it easier for Ah Yan to handle state affairs, I have decided to appoint Ah Yan as the Queen Regent, in charge of all state affairs."

"This..." The court officials were confused. Regent Queen?

Generally speaking, a regent is appointed to oversee state affairs only when the emperor is young and does not hold real power.

But Your Majesty is an adult man and holds great power. Now that you have made Lady Si Yan the regent queen, I am afraid that the court ministers and princes will have objections.

Duke Pei couldn't help but stand up and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Si Yan already has many responsibilities. If she were to become the Queen Regent, it would probably attract public criticism."

Qi Ziyu was silent for a moment. "I understand Duke Pei's concerns, but ask yourselves, apart from Ah Yan, who else has the ability to govern Da Xuan? Without Ah Yan, if anything happens to my health, who will take charge?"

“…” Duke Pei was speechless for a moment.

He was worried that Yan'er would stand out from the crowd and bring disaster upon himself.

If something really happens to His Majesty and Daxuan is in turmoil, Yan'er will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

"It's settled. I have already drafted an edict to appoint Ah Yan as the Regent. From now on, all important matters of the court will be handled by the Regent. I have already ordered the creation of the Regent's seal. From now on, the Regent's orders will be my orders."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The court officials were shocked, but they did not dare to disobey.

"I want you all to work together to assist the Regent in handling important affairs of state."

"We obey your order." The court officials said in unison.

Nowadays, all the important officials in the court have some relationship with Si Yan to some extent.

Pei Guogong is Si Yan's grandfather, and Jia Zhongchun was persuaded by Si Yan to change sides and gain a new life. Pei Wangjie is Si Yan's cousin, and Ling Yuefeng has been friends with the Si family for generations. Of course, they will support Si Yan.

Although everyone found it a little unbelievable, there was nothing that could be done as His Majesty was so weak.

Qi Ziyu looked at Si Yan and said, "Ah Yan, the Daxuan court will be handed over to you in the future."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will hold on until you return from your illness."

Qi Ziyu opened his lips slightly: "Okay."

He knew that although Ayan had never said it, Ayan and Aru both hoped that he could leave the palace and recuperate.

After he has explained all the affairs in the palace clearly and A Yan is familiar with the important affairs of the court, he will take good care of his health.

"There will be no court meetings from now on. All important court matters will be decided by the cabinet ministers appointed by the Regent. If a court meeting is necessary, it will be presided over by the Regent. Everyone should fully support the Regent."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The court officials felt a little uncomfortable as they listened to His Majesty making arrangements for his final affairs.

Si Yan felt somewhat relieved, as she knew that His Majesty had finally figured it out.

Your Majesty has agreed to recuperate, but he is still a little worried about the affairs of the court.

"Your Majesty, we have no objection, but I'm afraid the other court officials and princes will have some objections."

Qi Ziyu's eyes were calm: "If anyone has any objections, General Si Yan can deal with it on my behalf."

Duke Pei was speechless. This girl was a general and held military power. Who dared to say anything?

Moreover, with the support of Si Qingshan and Ling Mohan, this girl's position is as stable as Mount Tai.

What Duke Pei was worried about was that some people would say that Yan'er was plotting a rebellion, and that the Si family was plotting a rebellion. This charge would bring the Si family into irretrievable ruin.

Your Majesty has given Yan'er such great power, but if one day Your Majesty feels that Yan'er's achievements are greater than yours, I'm afraid...

Qi Ziyu seemed to see the worry in Duke Pei's heart. He smiled weakly and said, "Duke, my life was saved by Ayan. Daxuan was able to get back on track because of Ayan. I can't live without Ayan, and Daxuan can't live without Ayan. Ayan and I are one. If anyone dares to criticize Ayan, they are criticizing me!"

Seeing the emperor's support and trust in Yan'er, Duke Pei couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"I obey your order." Duke Pei said respectfully.

Duke Anguo Qi Guangan also stood up and said, "I will fully support the Regent in handling important matters of state."

"So do I, your Highness."

"I agree too." Several ministers expressed their opinions, and Qi Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone has long been aware of Ayan's abilities and skills.

Now that he has made things clear, it is not surprising that everyone fully supports Ayan.

"In this case, I am relieved." Qi Ziyu looked at everyone and was silent for a moment. "The only ones I am worried about now are the princes."

There are ministers in the court whom he trusts, so no one will have any objections to Ayan managing the government.

However, the princes all had their eyes on the throne and would not be so willing to let Ayan become the regent.

The ministers were silent for a while. This matter was indeed tricky.

Si Yan raised his eyes and looked at Qi Ziyu: "Your Majesty, I will handle this matter. I will start with the King of the Southwest."
