The second thing Nanzhi did after returning to the palace was to deal with the Fifth Princess.
The Fifth Princess feared that Nan Zhi would one day turn against her.
So during the time when Nam Gyi was "sick" and not attending court, she was trying to bribe the court officials and use Nam Gyi's newly promulgated policies as a pretext to completely remove Nam Gyi from the throne.
Indeed, the decrees issued by Nam Gyi after taking office affected the interests of many people, and with the Fifth Princess's encouragement, many people stood up.
The Fifth Princess conspired with them to do many things, intending to completely sideline Nanzhi before she "recovered" from her illness.
The only pity was that the plan was only halfway through when she heard that Nan Zhi wanted to summon her.
Although she was a little apprehensive, she thought of Nan Zhi's timid nature and the fact that she had no one she could trust, so she went without fear.
She just didn't expect that Nam Gyi would also summon all the ministers.
Moreover, the place where they were summoned was the temple palace of the goddess Yunruo.
Inside the temple, the statue of Goddess Yunruo, sculpted from white jade, stands tall, her expression aloof and indifferent, looking down at everyone.
"It was the Seventh Princess who made the vow, right?"
There's nothing normal about Nam Gyi's face.
Suddenly, a muffled rumble of thunder sounded from the horizon.
The fourth princess was granted the title of Prince of Liang, with her fiefdom being Liangyun.
You're very good at being honest, telling a few lies, and deceiving others.
Nanyang is a prosperous place. Upon hearing this, the Seventh Princess was flattered and hurriedly knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
The Seventh Princess, however, felt that something was amiss.
The reason we were bewitched by the Seventh Princess was because she promised to promote us when you become the current emperor.
Being looked at by Nan Zhi like that, the Seventh Princess felt a strange and wonderful feeling.
"Why Consort Liang?"
Now that the position is gone, who would want to do such a rebellious thing?
The fiefdom is meaningless. As long as you are the current regent, you will eventually be able to replace Nam Gyi.
Upon hearing Chang Liang's words, the Seventh Princess was overjoyed.
Knowing our questions, Nanzhi smiled and said, "Since the Seventh Princess is so dedicated to her duties, I would like to appoint you as Regent and keep you by my side to help me handle state affairs."
"Now that the Emperor has passed away, it is the responsibility of every subject to share his burdens."
Su Yu has very little influence in Yun Kingdom, but a few words from him are enough to stir up a storm.
Sure enough, the officers and soldiers found evidence of Duo's conspiracy with other minor officials at your residence.
In an instant, the two were struck by lightning, their hair standing on end, and before they could even scream, they collapsed behind the statue.
“Very bad.” Nan Zhi laughed. “The reason I summoned everyone to the temple today is because I have a few things to announce.”
Su Yu caught a glimpse of the boy's features out of the corner of her eye, a mixture of irritability and tenderness.
The Seventh Princess's expression turned rather unpleasant as she listened to the discussions.
It seems that Shennan has been paying attention to Yun Kingdom for some time now.
Next up is the Seventh Princess, who was granted the title of Prince Qing and her fiefdom is Changqing.
After paying homage to the statue, Nanzhi's gaze swept over all the ministers, finally settling on the Fifth Princess.
After a long while, no one said, "If it was because the Seventh Princess lied to Yun Ruo Shennan that she was punished by heaven."
I, your humble servant, have no idea either.
The Seventh Princess, still aware of the unexpected turn of events, continued, "I would never betray my promise..."
Who would have thought that the imperial edict had not yet been issued?
Some ministers who still wanted to support you tried to exonerate you, saying, "It should just be raining. The Seventh Princess is loyal and devoted; how could it be unrelated to your oath?"
You also said that coming out is the right thing to do.
Sure enough, you knew that Chang Liang was bold and capable, and therefore fit for a minor post.
The Eighth Princess was granted the title of Prince Yu, with her fiefdom being Yuzhang.
All the princesses were granted the title of king and were sent to prosperous places, except for the seventh princess.
I transformed into my rear view, with a faint golden light surrounding me. Looking at the dead Seventh Princess, I uttered only eight words: "She brought this upon herself; she may live."
A slightly coquettish voice came from in front of her, and Su Yu's waist was hugged.
"Don't thank me, sir. If I didn't have someone like you, you would have known what to do to avoid getting into trouble that time."
Do you want to be branded as a usurper after seizing power?
"I swear before the statue that I will be utterly loyal to His Majesty the Emperor..."
Nam Gyi arrested several officials whose crimes were the least serious, beheaded them in the street as a warning, and then sent a message that no one would dare to plot a rebellion in secret again.
The fourth princess was granted the title of Prince Ru, with her fiefdom in Runing.
The Seventh Princess is dead, and your household has been ransacked.
Although the Seventh Princess was somewhat unwilling, she still knelt down before the statue for the sake of her future.
The officials were horrified when they saw that scene.
But I also know that beneath that simple exterior lies a soul even more insane than mine.
"Seventh Princess, make a vow before the statue, so that the divine man and the little man can know his unwavering loyalty to me."
Nan Zhi stood at the front, took the incense from Shangguan Yue, knelt down and bowed three times, and personally placed the incense into the altar.
Nanzhi glanced at the Seventh Princess, who had died with her eyes closed, and said, "Go and invite the Imperial Advisor."
As soon as Nan Zhi finished speaking, Xia Guan Yue in front of her took out the illegible imperial edict and read it aloud quietly in front of everyone.
A muffled thunderclap resounded from below the temple, and in the next instant, it shattered the roof and landed directly on the heads of the young official and the seventh princess.
For a time, the officials were filled with panic, both frightened and afraid.
All the ministers showed the utmost respect to the statue of Goddess Yunruo and followed Nanzhi in bowing to it.
Su Yu had to go back to his old profession.
The Seventh Princess had no intention of seizing power; she originally wanted to be granted a title and a fiefdom. However, none of the imperial edicts included her name. Looking at the other princesses' dejected expressions as they received their decrees, it all seemed like a matter of rank.
The Seventh Princess looked at Nanzhi in shock.
The Seventh Princess finally realized something was wrong. You looked up and saw dark clouds rolling in, as if a storm was about to break.
"I heard that during my illness, the Fifth Princess has been working diligently to help me manage state affairs. Thank you for your hard work."
To my surprise, Nan Zhi simply stepped aside, allowing you to face the statue of Yun Ruo, the divine man.
Although the divine man Yunruo protected the Yun Kingdom, he has been here for so many years and has also shown his divine power again.
The other person's soft, large hand gently caressed my abdomen.
The Seventh Princess was just about to put on a show of thanking Nanzhi by kneeling down.
What happened?
The officials also understood and quickly looked towards Nanzhi.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Seventh Princess is intelligent, quick-witted, and possesses both talent and virtue. I, by Your Majesty's grace, hereby bestow upon her the title of Princess of the South. She shall immediately proceed to her fiefdom of Nanyang. You shall diligently perform your duties and fulfill your responsibilities to the utmost."
These minor officials, who were either wavering in their resolve or coerced by the Seventh Princess into siding with you, suddenly lost all interest after being promoted.
Before he could finish speaking, the candles behind the statue suddenly went out.
But I must deny it; I don't dislike the way you look.
One princess was granted the title of Prince Jia, with the fief of Jiayu.
When the officials saw that scene, they all turned into dumbfounded geese.
Nanzhi promoted several minor officials to higher positions.
only……
The minister was immediately proven wrong after he finished speaking.
Now that the Seventh Princess had obtained everything, she was no longer flustered.
"What happened? The sky was so bad just now, and then it suddenly changed?"
