Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

Of course the Marquis’s wife was happy.

She has no son.

She used to feel upset when she thought about the fact that the Marquis's Mansion would be inherited by those illegitimate sons in the future.

If the child is not your own, he or she will not be on the same page with you.

Once Marquis Taiping passes away, won't she have to live her life depending on the mood of her illegitimate son and his mother, a concubine?

Those days, she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath just thinking about them.

It’s different now!

Now that her Jiaojiao has become successful, she won’t have to look at anyone’s face in the future!

Her daughter Jiaojiao had been in poor health before, it must be that God was jealous of her talent.

Now that she has the Queen Mother's... oh no, with the Emperor's phoenix aura blessing her, her Jiaojiao will surely be strong and powerful like an ox...

"hey-hey……"

The Marquis’s wife smiled so hard that her teeth were not visible.

Taiping Hou knelt in the ancestral hall for half a night, "Ancestor, oh ancestor, if you are still in heaven, please bless Jiaojiao to live a long life. If anything happens to her, our family will be finished!"

Those bastards were not good at martial arts and only had some knowledge of literature. In the end, they were nothing.

It has to be Jiaojiao.

This family still has to rely on Jiaojiao to support it!

My dear, you have already smoked once, so keep smoking...

Shu Jiao looked at the couple who were both a little crazy, shook her head helplessly and sighed.

Got~

The two elders are busy.

She went to sleep because she had to get up early to attend court tomorrow.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed and the coronation ceremony was held again.

The people from the Ministry of Rites no longer wanted to talk.

Which dynasty holds two coronation ceremonies in one year?

So the lives of the officials in the Ministry of Rites are not lives?

……

At dawn, the red-walled and green-tiled imperial palace welcomed the first ray of golden sunlight, which made the sun, moon, stars, birds and beasts on the twelve-emblazoned crown glow faintly, as if they were alive.

Drums, chimes, pipa, guzheng...

The various sounds rang out in unison, creating a majestic atmosphere. Birds flew over and sang in unison. The lingering sound lingered in the air for three days.

Incense is burning in the cauldron, and green smoke rises straight to the sky.

The imperial guards wore armor, the phoenix guards held swords, and all civil and military officials bowed their heads in waiting.

As the figure walked step by step towards the supreme throne, a loud phoenix cry seemed to be heard faintly -

The first female emperor in recorded history has appeared!

Reign: Yuanzheng.

Yuan means beginning.

The empress began with her, her name was: Xu Yin.

From now on, her name will shine brightly in the history books, instead of giving her the posthumous title of Empress Wenxiao and calling her Xu, summarizing her boring life as a vassal of the emperor in a few words.

Xu Yin was very happy.

Her eyes were full of smiles, and every wrinkle on her cheeks showed that she was running towards a brilliant and dazzling path.

After ascending the throne, her first imperial decree was to appoint the crown prince - Xiao Mi.

He then urged the Ministry of Rites to quickly hold a ceremony to enthronize the crown prince.

Ministry of Rites: ...

No?

That's enough, you two mother and daughter!

Is their Ministry of Rites some cheap thing? They just finished the coronation ceremony, and they don't even let them take a break?

Do you really treat them like oxen and horses that can never be tired to death?

But there was nothing they could do. Since the superiors had given the order, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and work overtime.

Before this, many old ministers could not accept the empress's ascension to the throne, but they did not dare to risk the lives of their three clans in resistance, so they angrily left their letters of resignation.

It's easy to leave, hard to come back.

The old ministers may always feel that the court cannot function without them.

Who knew there was someone named Shu Jiao waiting to take over?

Even if Shu Jiao is not here, there is still Ming Xi watching closely.

If things get really bad, there are still the poor students who were promoted by Emperor Yuanzheng earlier, and they have been wanting to make progress for a long time.

Mingxi came back and was recruited into the court as the leader of the "Ming Family Army" uprising.

Emperor Yuanzheng directly assigned her to the Ministry of War, and she started as the third-rank Minister of War.

At first, everyone was a little strange——

Why did Emperor Yuanzheng entrust such an important task to a surrendered general?

Does she trust Mingxi so much?

Before long, everyone discovered that Mingxi was very familiar with Xiao Mi; Mingxi was very familiar with Shu Jiao; even Mingxi was very familiar with Lan Yi, the former chief maid of Emperor Yuanzheng and now the commander of the Luan Guards.

Ah this...

This?

Is that how you play?

So Mingxi, this "surrendered general", has been your man from the beginning to the end?

You guys actually play so dirty?

The courtier was shocked and confused. After being in a trance for a long time, he cursed several times in his heart, and then let out a heart-wrenching roar -

fraud!

Big liar!!

A bunch of big liars!!!

"Ah-"

Mingxi sneezed several times in succession and raised her hand to rub the tip of her nose. "What's going on? Am I catching a cold?"

"Someone might be talking about you."

Shu Jiao chuckled and handed her a cup of tea. "How does it feel to be an official?"

"Cool!"

Mingxi said firmly: "Sister Shu, you don't know that when I was in Yizhou, I led 3,000 soldiers to fight against 30,000, and I was able to kill seven of them! This feeling is really, so cool!"

No wonder the ancients liked to fight on the battlefield and achieve great things.

She brought three thousand people with her, all wanting to seize territory.

I dare not imagine what the outcome would be if I led 30,000 or 300,000 soldiers and horses out.

“But being an official is also quite troublesome.”

Soon Mingxi frowned again, "You come to me for such trivial matters. Military pay distribution, military officer assessment, weapon manufacturing, by the way, I recently asked my craftsmen to develop a new type of thermal weapon."

"Oh?"

"It's very powerful. Once we develop it, we can flatten the entire world."

"I believe you, you can do it."

Shu Jiao looked at her steadily, and after a while she asked casually, "Is the military pay okay?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"The Ministry of Revenue submitted a memorial earlier, saying that they were short of money. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and first they have to hold the coronation ceremony, then they will exempt taxes for three years, and they will also hold special examinations. Everything requires money, and I am worried that the Ministry of Revenue will tamper with the military pay."

"I have checked the account books, no problem."

Mingxi was very sure.

She is a mercenary. She gets paid to do things for her, so she will naturally keep a close eye on the money and won't tolerate even a penny less.

But if you are short of money...

"Sister Shu, I know there is an island with inexhaustible mountains of gold and silver, but I don't know how to tell the emperor?"

Mingxi hesitated.

She discovered that the map of this world was very similar to her original world, and the distribution of minerals was also similar, so there must be a gold mountain on a certain island.

Shu Jiao knew what she was talking about as soon as she heard it, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Eighty...seventy percent."

After all, Mingxi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he couldn't make any guarantees.

"That's enough."

Shu Jiao said slowly, "Just say that you happened to hear overseas merchants mention that there is a gold mine on the island. The treasury is short of money right now, and the emperor would be willing to open up new territory."

Can it work?

After thinking for a while, Mingxi nodded, "Then I will go and write the memorial later. By the way, Sister Shu, can you recommend a few aides to me?"

"Staff?"

"You know, I'm not good at writing."

Ancient memorials were very verbose and had certain format requirements; she simply couldn’t write them!

Why do we have to write a folding letter?

Mingxi was almost driven crazy by the memorials.
