But the Tatars are different; their king is too arrogant!
The memorial clearly stated:
Now that Emperor Da'an is seriously ill and has left only his crown princess to oversee the country, I have a strong and well-equipped army. If Emperor Da'an agrees to give his crown princess to me as a concubine and bring Da'an with him as part of his dowry, I will definitely protect you and ensure that you are not bullied by Da Yan.
This infuriated the military officers. After all, they and the Great Yan were all from the Central Plains, one family.
What are you anyway? You eat raw meat and drink blood, you don't even have the most basic sense of propriety and shame.
That's it?
Do you also want to marry my Da'an Mingzhu?
Look at yourself in the mirror!
"What does Your Highness intend to do? If we do not resist, the people will lose heart, and then... if there is internal strife..."
The people were just as miserable as before.
Mingzhu understood what the military general meant. To be honest, the Tatar king's memorial was quite humiliating for a young girl, but Mingzhu was already the crown princess and didn't care about saving face.
"To be honest, after making copies of the pamphlets, we posted them in various towns and cities."
"Just have the garrison troops in each city stop the Great Yan. As I said before, they must not lose their lives. I will talk to the Dragon Girl of Great Yan and make sure that I still have control over the territory of Great An."

"The Dragon Princess becomes Empress, and I become Princess."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Imperial Study felt a pang of disappointment, but it seemed to be the best solution.
It's better to save our strength to fight the Tatars; that's the reality.
We have to accept this reality.
"I will obey Your Highness's orders!"
"Please, Your Highness, grant me the throne as soon as possible!"
Mingzhu was a little confused by the words of the Minister of Rites. Since the land was going to be a fiefdom anyway, why bother with the coronation fee?
To everyone's surprise, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone knelt down again.
"May Crown Princess Mingzhu ascend the throne!"
"Please, Your Highness, ascend the throne!"
Mingzhu seemed to realize something, and her eyes reddened.
"What is this for? How much does the coronation ceremony cost? It's enough to cover the tax revenue of our Great An for a year. With that money, we should give the people a year's tax exemption."
"Rest assured, the matter of tax exemption will be left to the Dragon Maiden of Great Yan. You are surely the people's favorite."
