Naruto: In the name of time, shock the ninja world!.

Chapter 318: The ministers advised the emperor to take the throne.

In the Imperial Palace, today is the grand court meeting. All officials above the fourth rank will attend the court to discuss state affairs.

Feng Xingye looked at the people arguing fiercely below and couldn't help but yawn. These people were so boring. They always started quarreling.

Just when Xingye Feng thought he could adjourn the court as usual, an official suddenly walked out and said with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xingye Feng's sleepy eyelids slightly lifted, and he said listlessly: "Go ahead, don't waste everyone's time."

"What I want to say is related to Your Majesty," the official continued.

Hearing this, Xingye Feng perked up a little, looked up at him with a slightly fixed gaze, and said playfully.

"Uchiha Shoichi, you rarely make suggestions in the court after being pardoned. Why are you interested today?"

Uchiha Masaichi's face remained the same, without any change, and his expression was serious, like a green pine in the snow.

"Your Majesty, what I have said concerns the foundation of the empire, so I have to say it. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

After he finished speaking, Xingye Feng had some guesses in his mind. This old guy really knew how to pick the time. Letting him out would simply be shooting himself in the foot.

If it weren't for his age, Xingye Feng would have wanted to put him back in prison right now.

Xingye Feng snorted lightly and said sarcastically: "Now that you say that, can I still shut you up?"

The confusing words made the ministers in the court feel confused and they all discussed in low voices.

However, there are many smart people among the ministers, such as the six ministers standing in the front.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Uchiha Zhengyi first knelt down to express his gratitude, then stood up, took a deep breath, and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and all the ministers agree that you will lead Konoha to create an empire and conquer all directions. It is our good fortune."

Hoshino Feng rolled his eyes secretly. Give me a sweet date and then give me a big stick, right?

Just as he thought, Uchiha Zhengyi immediately changed the subject.

"But Your Majesty has no heir yet, which is a real hidden danger."

"I ask Your Majesty to choose a wife on an appropriate date and give birth to a child as soon as possible to ensure the eternal stability of our Konoha Empire!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xingye Feng.

Indeed, just as Uchiha Masaichi said, it is a very serious matter that Hoshino Kaede has no heirs.

After the unification of the world, since Hoshino Kaede was the first emperor in the history of the ninja world, he represented the orthodoxy of the world.

In the future, his throne will be inherited by his descendants, and no one can shake it.

But a problem arose. Xingye Feng had no children at the moment, not even a lover. This was really unbelievable.

This means that the next emperor will not even have an heir.

If Hoshino Kaede suddenly announced his abdication, the throne would be left vacant.

But this is absolutely not possible. Once the throne is vacant, conflicts will inevitably arise over the throne.

Thinking of this, the ministers felt that the matter was indeed as serious as Zhengyi said, and they all knelt down to agree.

For a time, except for the second-rank officials, the other ministers actually turned directly to Zhengyi and stood on the same front with him.

Hearing these waves of roaring sounds, Xingye Feng felt a buzzing pain in his head.

"Your Majesty, please choose a wife!"

"Your Majesty, please choose a wife!"

"Your Majesty, please choose a wife!"

After three consecutive shouts, the Xuanzheng Hall seemed to shake.

Xingye Feng rubbed his eyebrows, selectively ignored what these people said, and looked directly at the six ministers who were standing by and watching.

"You six ministries command all the officials. Please tell us your attitude."

After that, the six people looked at each other and exchanged glances. Then Nara Shikaku was nominated and laughed.

"I and others also think that this is the right thing to do. Your Majesty should consider the inheritance."

"Otherwise, the ministers in the palace probably won't be happy about it."

"So... Your Majesty, can you please take a step back...?"

When Shikaku finished speaking, his voice was barely audible, because the face of Hoshino Kaede above him became increasingly darker, with a hint of anger appearing on his face.

"Haha, you six are of one mind." Xingye Feng said coldly.

A low pressure spread outward from his body. Shikaku gritted his teeth and did not give in. Instead, he repeated what he had just said.

If we were to say who in this palace cares the most about the royal heir, it would be Nara Shikaku.

Starting from his father, the Nara family has stood firmly behind Hoshino Kaede, and their relationship is as close as wearing a pair of pants.

In recent years, the Nara clan has been seen by outsiders as the family that Hoshino Kaede trusts the most.

The Nara clan was naturally grateful for receiving this honor.

But this also means that they are tied to the Hoshino family, and they will prosper and suffer together.

If the succession to the throne is unstable, his Nara family will be the first to be besieged.

After all, if you eat too much meat, some people will always be jealous of you.

That's why Nara Shikaku was so concerned and would rather anger Hoshino Kaede than give in.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into complete silence, and one could hear a pin drop.

Lu Jiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling extremely nervous and terrified.

At this moment, Mitarashi Shishao suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of offspring concerns Konoha, please consider it carefully."

Lu Jiu looked at Zixiao gratefully, and this kick helped him share the firepower.

Seeing the ministers' attitude of "not giving up until they agree", Xingye Feng's cold face suddenly broke into a smile.

This made the ministers puzzled. Could it be that they pushed too hard and made His Majesty laugh in anger?

Just when they were confused, Xingye Feng curled his lips and said, "Your concern is nothing more than that after I abdicate, I will have no descendants to inherit, right?"

Everyone nodded when they heard this. This was what they meant.

A country cannot be without a king for a day. If there is no leader, nothing will happen in the short term, but problems will arise over time.

As I said, as long as Xingye Feng has no offspring, the next generation will not be stable.

This is a hidden danger, and the biggest hidden danger, for the current stable empire.

Shikaku had a quick mind and when he saw Hoshino Kaede's sudden change of attitude, his expression could not help but change slightly.

"Of course I know all this, and I can tell you clearly that you don't have to worry about the offspring."

The first thing Xingye Feng said was a huge bomb, which made everyone's heart skip a beat. Their eyes widened with disbelief.

What His Majesty meant was that he already had a child.

But they didn't receive any news.

The news was so shocking that everyone didn't know what to say.

Shikaku was relatively calm, and after calming down, he immediately asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean that you already have a child?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent. Everyone pricked up their ears, determined to hear every word.

Hearing the question, Xingye Feng smiled gently and nodded slowly, confirming their guess.

"Yes, I do have a son, but I can't say how old he is."

As soon as the words fell, the ministers looked delighted. After receiving a positive answer, their hearts finally settled down.
