Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Pei Jin doesn't care.

Do the court officials have any objections?

Then you can talk to my dad.

If you dare to speak up today, you'll be in trouble if your cousin can strip you of your official uniform tomorrow.

So easy?

Emperor Kangping was stunned for a moment, and then tried to probe: "Then I am still planning to make Jiaojiao a princess?"

"Seal it."

His contributions are so great and clearly visible to the public, it would be unreasonable not to give him something good.

Pei Jin thought, "Then I'll ask the Ministry of Rites to choose a few nice-sounding titles, or you can think of two titles when you have nothing to do."

"Anything else?"

"No."

"Then I will take my leave. I am really busy. Father, please make the decision on this matter. I will obey you."

Pei Jin originally planned to wait until Yuan Zhen was captured and the surroundings were tidy before giving a collective reward.

Of course, what I should give to my cousin when the time comes will not be bad.

But since the emperor has mentioned it, let him do it. It's a good opportunity to give him something to do, so that he won't be so cold to me when there's nothing to do.

Emperor Kangping: ...

Row.

I'm the boss!

You said that yourself!

The next day, two imperial edicts were delivered to the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and Shu Jiao led the servants in the mansion to receive the edicts.

There were two imperial edicts. One was to express gratitude to the Shu family of Duke Weiguo for their contribution to the State of Xin, directly conferring the title of King Weilie, allowing the title to be inherited from generation to generation without any downgrade, and the title was inherited by Shu Jiao.

The second is to confer the title of Princess Yongding on Shu Jiao.

Shu Jiao also holds the official title of Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. Some time ago, she also served as Zuo Tongzheng of the Tongzhengsi and was appointed commander of the Xuanwu Army, one of the three armies in the capital.

He is in charge of military, political and diplomatic affairs, and most of the civil and military officials in the court are his followers.

Now that she holds the throne and the title of Princess Guardian of the Country, she is allowed to provide 3,000 private soldiers.

This cannot be described as glorious.

Good guy.

If she wanted to rebel, it would not be impossible for her to lead the Xuanwu Army and learn from Li Er the "Xuanwu Gate Inheritance Method".

Pei Jin:!!!

Father, what are you doing?

I asked you to be a princess, not a king!

You even allocated such a large piece of land to her... How should I enfeoff her in the future?

Pei Jin looked at Shu Jiao's title that was getting longer and longer and sighed heavily.

He really had no choice. He had too few capable people under his command, and he had assigned a group of them to the newly conquered places like Ximan and Daxu. He really had no one to use.

As a last resort, I caught my cousin and pulled her hard.

Looking at the pile of documents on his desk, Pei Jin touched the tip of his nose——

My cousin, father has given you all the benefits first, you must hold on!

Although you are still young, you can definitely do it!

Shu Jiao: ...

On the left hand side, there are the affairs of the Honglu Temple; on the right hand side, there are the affairs of the Tongzhengsi; under his feet, there is half a box of military affairs of the Xuanwu Army.

She exhaled slowly—

I knew that it’s not so easy to get royal benefits.

Taking too much can lead to a short life.

That's it!

Shu Jiao sent out more than ten or twenty letters in succession, asking officials from all over the country to help her find someone.

They were all top-notch counselors who had once made a name for themselves in the turbulent times. They were good at military affairs, people's livelihood, logistics, and economics... When the time comes, they will all be brought to Beijing to work for the Xin Kingdom.

You can't just let your skills go to waste.

There are still a few hexagonal talents hidden in Yuanzhen.

It's time to take action against Yuan Zhen.

It is our responsibility to expand our territory!

Soon, under Shu Jiao's instigation, Xin Guo's eyes turned to Yuan Zhen again.

Yuan Zhen New Emperor:!!!

I knew it.

I knew you wouldn't let Yuan Zhen go.

If he had known earlier, why would he have borrowed troops from Xin State to seize the throne? Just to become a prisoner?

woo-

He regretted it.

He really regretted it.

If it wasn't for the throne, he would have borrowed troops from Xin State to fight against his own people, killing so many soldiers of Yuan Zhen in vain. He wouldn't have had to face the aggressive Xin State without any ability to fight back!

Luring the wolf into the house.

It really is letting a wolf into the house!!

However, no matter how much he regretted it, there was nothing he could do.

Yuan Zhen was completely defeated.

He was imprisoned in the capital of Xin State, becoming an idle marquis with no power and influence and was often under supervision.

He drank all day to drown his sorrows and died early.

After four weeks of tidying up, Pei Wan half-withdrew from the court in silence.

This retreat not only won her praise and admiration from civil and military officials, earning her a reputation as a person who was not competitive, loyal, virtuous, and filial, but she also won her love from Pei Jin, Emperor Kangping, and even the Empress.

Everyone thinks she is really sensible.

After working so hard for so long, when it was time to enjoy the fruits of their labor, they retired for the sake of the stability of imperial power.

Hey ~

Shouldn't she be praised for this?

It wasn't enough to just give her a compliment; she also had to give her compensation, such as gold, silver, money, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and even be allowed to leave the palace and build her own house, and like Shu Jiao, she could train three thousand private soldiers.

of course.

Shu Jiao did not retreat.

Shu Jiao also has to cover for Pei Wan in the court and deal with various remaining issues.

If she wanted to leave, Emperor Kangping and Pei Jin would probably have to invite Pei Qinghuan and her to the palace overnight and ask Pei Qinghuan to persuade their daughter not to leave!

Now that she’s gone, what should we do with all this huge mess?

By the time everything was settled, it was half a year earlier than Shu Jiao had expected.

This year, Shu Jiao was eighteen years old.

The Queen and Pei Qinghuan chatted in the palace and suddenly realized that they had made a serious mistake.

Pei Wan and Shu Jiao haven’t gotten married yet!

Shu Jiao is already eighteen years old!

Pei Wan is a few years older than her!

It's all over. It's all because those two were so focused on their work in the past few years, which made them nervous and they didn't dare to mention this matter.

Now that I'm about to have some free time, shouldn't I put this matter on the agenda?

The Queen volunteered to select the sons of the major families in the capital very efficiently. After screening them three or four times, she called Pei Qinghuan to help her choose a son-in-law.

Pei Qinghuan looked again and again, "My Queen, I have to find someone who is willing to marry into my family."

Her family is so well off, why should she marry someone else?

That means you must marry someone!

and!

In order to prevent the man from having infertility, she might have to find two more. Otherwise, who would inherit her throne and princess palace?

not to mention!

Her daughter Jiaojiao works hard for Xinguo outside every day, so what's wrong with having two handsome and obedient young men to accompany her when she comes home?

That's what she deserves!

Queen:......

She touched her chin and said, "That makes sense!"

Is her Wan'er not good enough?

Then of course you should choose a more obedient prince consort and have him live in Princess Ning'an's mansion.

Moreover, her Wan'er had always aimed to marry Princess Dingguo. Princess Dingguo had a garden of male favorites, so her Wan'er might have to learn from this fine tradition.

Wan'er is not short of money or power!

The Queen and Pei Qinghuan looked at each other, and in tacit understanding began to screen the young masters of the major families again.

You have to look good, otherwise the girl won’t like you.

You have to have a good temper, otherwise you will become a troublemaker and cause unrest in your daughter's house.

The family background must be good, otherwise he will be unruly and cannot be brought up.

You also need to have some talent. You have to be good at one of the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery. Otherwise, how can you entertain your daughter?

Forget about the eldest sons of each family.

The eldest son inherits the family business, so entering the family is not a marriage, but an enemy.

After the two mothers sifted through the documents again and again, there was still a thick stack of information left on the table.

can only say--

Everyone is very fertile!
