The close confidants of the rulers of Baiyue, Shu and Liaodong naturally came to congratulate Yu Zizhen and observe China and its core figures.
Only after comprehensive observation, understanding and analysis can they evaluate as objectively and impartially as possible the strength of this country founded by women and which has appointed many female officials, as well as the temperament of the country's number one figure, Yu Zizhen, and her close confidants.
These important messages were related to what they should do to ensure their own best interests when Yu Zizhen proposed to recover Baiyue, Shu and Liaodong.
As for the sons, nephews and nieces of the rulers of Baiyue, Shu and Liaodong, just by looking at their appearance, their dress and their active efforts to get close to Yu Zizhen, it was not difficult for everyone to guess what purpose these people had in coming to the capital.
Yu Zizhen's trusted subordinates didn't care at all. After all, their master not only already had a lover, but also took time out of his busy schedule to pursue her passionately.
Although Xiao Yuanjin is still in a stage of entanglement and hesitation, anyone who is not blind can see the unconcealable brilliance and affection in their eyes when they look at each other.
Everyone has every reason to be confident in Yu Zizhen, and they are also very satisfied with Xiao Yuanjin as the candidate for the future empress.
The reason for his satisfaction was very simple. All of Xiao Yuanjin's entanglement and hesitation were because he was worried that his special identity would bring negative impact to Yu Zizhen.
He was not rejecting Yu Zizhen or having no romantic feelings for her. He just didn't want his existence to hinder Yu Zizhen's future governance.
As Yu Zizhen's close confidants, they certainly prefer someone like Xiao Yuanjin, who has good conditions in all aspects but is only concerned about Yu Zizhen, rather than those handsome young men with many ulterior motives.
Of course, there were people who submitted memorials with ulterior motives suggesting that Yu Zizhen "select a concubine." However, before Xiao Yuanjin could get upset about it, Yu Zizhen, who was about to make the next move to choke everyone on the issue of taking concubines, had already sent all the memorials back to the officials who submitted them.
At first, those officials thought that she was just sending it back as it was to indicate that she would not accept their suggestions. However, after opening the memorial, they saw a line of large characters at the end of it that Yu Zizhen had someone write on his behalf - My dear ministers, do you hope that I can take the time to select and reward your wife with some male favorites?
The court officials who submitted memorials with similar contents turned pale. Although they had accepted the cruel reality that they were about to kneel down to a female monarch due to the situation, this did not mean that they had completely abandoned their idea of male superiority and female inferiority.
In their minds, they can have concubines, mistresses, and visit brothels, but the women who belong to them, whether they are wives, concubines, mistresses, or concubines, must never look at any other man.
Even one extra glance would make them feel that their male dignity was offended, let alone openly keeping a male lover.
Faced with Yu Zizhen's direct threat, those court officials, no matter how many ulterior motives they had, no longer dared to bring up the past.
The "concubine selection" incident was quietly resolved because of Yu Zizhen's direct confrontation.
But because of this, Yu Zizhen's position as the emperor's husband suddenly became more and more popular.
From "legal husband" to "only husband", the huge benefits hidden in it are enough to drive many officials and families crazy.
However, what made them extremely depressed was that their empress seemed to be an insulator with no blind spots in all directions. No matter what method they tried, the other party could accurately prevent their private calculations.
This was not the most frustrating thing for them. What frustrates them the most is that after she avoided their schemes, she actually retaliated without any generosity.
Things like this happened so many times that no matter how unwilling everyone was, they had no choice but to give up the tempting piece of cake in order to prevent themselves and their families from suffering further losses.
Now seeing these young people from Baiyue, Shu and Liaodong walking the same path they have walked and hitting the same walls they have hit, I have to say, it feels really good.
None of the malicious onlookers reminded those guys who were too eager to take advantage of the situation that they wanted to make these guys suffer the same losses as they had suffered.
While everyone's secret anticipation for a good show continued to ferment, Yu Zizhen's coronation ceremony was successfully held under the attention of everyone.
At her coronation ceremony, she publicly announced the list of rewards and official appointments that had been agreed upon by her and a few of her trusted confidants.
Thanks to the Little Baby Voice System that diligently helped her record, organize, summarize, and analyze all the information, and gave reasonable suggestions based on that information, the list of rewards and official appointments drawn up by Yu Zizhen was as fair and just as possible.
After her coronation ceremony, she had the agreed-upon list of rewards and official appointments announced. All the officials who were qualified for her to personally reward and appoint became more and more convinced of her.
Everyone knelt down, touched the ground with their heads and shouted "Long live the emperor".
Yu Zizhen raised his hands and said, "Everyone, please stand up."
At this moment, a surge of heroic spirit surged in her heart.
From this moment on, her life journey will go in a completely different direction.
From this moment on, she will devote all her energy to enriching the country and strengthening its military for the benefit of the millions of Chinese people.
"There is another piece of good news, and I would like to take this opportunity to tell it to you all, so that you can be happy with me." Having said that, Yu Zizhen extended her hand towards Yaoguang who was standing behind her.
Yaoguang understood and immediately took out a scroll of imperial edict from her wide sleeves and handed it to Yu Zizhen.
Yu Zizhen took the imperial edict written by her and then stamped with the imperial seal herself. Under the burning gazes of the crowd, she slowly walked to Xiao Yuanjin, who was looking at her with the others.
"I'm fortunate to have Prince Zhao's favor. I'll spend the rest of my life with him." Facing Xiao Yuanjin's handsome face that suddenly turned red and his clear eyes that were slightly reproachful, Yu Zizhen's lips curled up slowly. "In two days, the auspicious day will be here. Prince Zhao and I will be married in the palace. I hope you all will come and have a drink at the wedding."
Everyone: ???!!!!
Even Yu Zizhen's trusted subordinates who had anticipated this were shocked that Yu Zizhen had taken down Xiao Yuanjin so quickly and set the wedding date for two days later, not to mention the other poor people who had not heard anything about it.
Especially those handsome young men who were still racking their brains to think about how to get close to Yu Zizhen, how to win his favor, and thus rise to fame overnight, their expressions at this moment were as if they were suddenly struck by lightning.
