But the biggest problem is that Rong Miaoyan is a woman!
In the nearly two hundred years since the founding of Dayan Country, there has been no precedent for a woman ascending the throne as emperor!
While everyone was stunned, Second Young Master Gu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, immediately stepped forward, and decisively took a stand:
"I believe Princess Ning'an is very suitable. There is indeed precedent for this. I remember that the second monarch of Zhao Country was the empress of the former monarch. When the founding monarch of Zhao Country passed away, he left an edict allowing her to succeed the throne, and Zhao Country was managed by her in an orderly manner."
A minister immediately objected: "That was because the Zhao Country monarch favored a concubine and neglected his wife, and was sent to his deathbed by a cup of poisoned wine from his own empress. The edict was naturally forged. This is something the people of Zhao Country might not know, but don't we?"
