Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

The Bai Mansion in Jiangnan was filled with distinguished guests, well-dressed people, and the place was bustling with activity.

The strings are circling around the ears, and the dancer's figure is graceful and soft as if she has no bones.

The group of people were not paying attention to the beautiful singing and dancing, but were discussing serious matters.

The Patriarch of the Bai Family frowned and said, "Brother Chen, the Princess of Jingning County is too shrewd. She won't fall for it."

The head of the Chen family sighed softly, "The family card is useless, and the card of the great scholar is also useless. What kind of person is she?" She is different from ordinary people, that is for sure.

Watching Ning Zhiwei just emerging, becoming famous all over the world, and moving up step by step, he became the master of the Northwest.

Now, he has become even more ambitious and has the will to conquer the world.

It's only been three short years, and everyone was caught off guard.

Once she succeeds and becomes an empress, it is only a matter of time before she attacks the south of the Yangtze River with her sword.

Jiangnan is their base camp and their foundation, and outsiders must not be allowed to interfere.

So, either invest in advance, or find a way to suppress her.

The head of the Cheng family looked unhappy, "A woman who doesn't recognize her relatives, is heartless and unrighteous, and despises the world."

This is a gathering of the heads of various families in Jiangnan. They prosper together and suffer together, and they stick together tightly.

"I just don't believe that she has no weaknesses. As long as one is a human, they will have weaknesses and fatal weaknesses."

The problem is that after trying for so long, nothing has been found.

Someone suddenly suggested, "Send her a few male favorites."

"Women, once they indulge in love, will seek their own death."

Everyone looked at each other and thought this was a good idea.

The head of the Cheng family rolled his eyes and said, "Male concubines are not acceptable. She doesn't like them. You have to choose the most outstanding man in the world, such as Rong Jing and Xiao Linfeng."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent. In literature, he is better than Rong Jing, and in martial arts, he is better than Xiao Linfeng. These two people are the best in terms of talent, appearance and temperament, and are hard to find in the world.

“How many people can compare to them?”

Patriarch Chen's eyes swept to a corner, "Of course it's our Master Wushuang."

The scene was silent for a moment, and then everyone looked over there.

The young man was extremely handsome, with a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows. He was the eldest son of the Bai family, Bai Zhanyang, the unparalleled young man admired by countless women, with extraordinary talent and suave manner.

The head of the Bai family refused without hesitation, "No, this is the eldest son of our Bai family, the one who will inherit the Bai family's foundation."

Bai Zhanyang raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of evil, "Father, I am willing to share your worries."

Patriarch Bai opened his mouth, but the words he said changed, "Zhan Yang, Ning Zhiwei is not an ordinary woman."

"But, after all, she is a woman." Bai Zhanyang smiled, "As long as she is a woman, I have a way."

Looking at his confident son, Patriarch Bai laughed. That’s right, he had never failed before.

"I'm waiting to celebrate your success."

"rest assured."

In the capital city, Ning Zhiwei was so busy that he had no time to rest. Just preparing for the founding ceremony was hectic enough.

"Have you thought about it?"

Rong Jing handed over a list, "Take a look, this is the country name and year name we proposed, pick one you like."

There were more than twenty proposed names for the country alone.

Ning Zhiwei took the list, looked at it carefully for a while, then picked up the brush and drew two circles.

Then she picked up the list and showed it to everyone.

The name of the country was Yong, and the reign was Zhaoming.

Everyone praised it, "Yong, Yongxi is in a state of change, harmony is prosperous, and the country is stable. This is good." Note (1)

"The people were all happy with the change, and peace and prosperity were achieved." Note (2)

"Book of Documents. Yao Dian: The people are bright and clear, and the nations are in harmony." Note (3)

Ning Zhiwei smiled slightly, "It's decided."

No one has an opinion.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at everyone. Everyone seemed to be in high spirits as if they were celebrating something good.

Zhou Hongye took the initiative to say, "My lord, right now, the most important thing is to finalize the six ministries and nine officials to ensure the normal operation of the entire court."

This is a big problem. Once the country is established, there will be more things to do. Without a leadership team, it will be impossible to govern.

Ning Zhiwei tapped the table, thoughtfully, "What do you think?"

Everyone is eager to make a move. Who doesn't want a high position and generous salary? Who doesn't want to have a wife and children who are blessed with wealth?

But, it’s hard to say what.

"That's entirely up to you."

Ning Zhi smiled and said, "You can recommend yourself."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally, they said, "You make the decision."

"That's fine."

Ning Zhiwei spread out a piece of paper, picked up a brush, and wrote down the six ministries: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works.

"Minister of Personnel: Rong Jing, concurrently the Minister of Justice, Marquis of Changping."

"Minister of Revenue: Ning Wenyin, concurrently serving as Minister of Rites, Marquis of Xuanping."

"Minister of War: Xiao Linfeng, concurrently Guanglu Temple, Marquis of Wu'an."

"Minister of Punishment: Zhou Hongye, concurrently Imperial Secretary, Marquis Dingyuan, the first marquis of the founding of the country."

"Minister of Rites: Ning Ran, Marquis of Pingxi."

"Minister of Works: Shengxia, Lord Chen."

"The Censorate: Huo Shaokang, Marquis of Liu."

"Grand Minister of Agriculture: Ning Si, Marquis of Yi."

"Honglu Temple: Ning Liu, Ji Hou."

She wrote very fluently, and it was obvious that she had thought it through long ago.

"I'm appointing marquises, and they'll be promoted to the next rank after we pacify the world. For the other official positions, you guys can draft them yourselves and submit them after discussing it together."

She only set the general direction and decided on the officials of the six ministries, and the framework was established.

She paused, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "The cabinet will not be activated for the time being."

The cabinet actually exists alongside the imperial power and takes away some of the power.

When the king is strong, he can suppress the cabinet and make the cabinet work for him. If the king is weak, he will be controlled by the cabinet.

The Prime Minister is the head of all officials and has unimaginable influence.

For the time being, she doesn't want to enable it.

Everyone was very excited when they saw their names written on the paper. Being granted a title of nobility or becoming a prime minister was everyone's ultimate goal.

Although Zhou Hongye was interested in the position of Prime Minister, there was nothing he could do since Ning Zhiwei did not want to set up a cabinet.

The Minister of Justice is not bad either. The key is that he is the first marquis of the founding of the country and the leader of all the princes, which makes him quite satisfied.

The lord fulfilled his promise.

Huo Shaokang took a look and pursed his lips, "Should this Miss Shengxia...train herself at the grassroots level for a few more years?"

Among these six ministries and nine officials, four positions are occupied by women, three of whom are sisters from the Ning family. They are capable as well, but this Shengxia suddenly appeared.

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "She is very capable, I believe she will be qualified for this position."

Since she said so, it’s hard for others to say anything.

Huo Shaokang asked cautiously, "Then, what about Ning Qishao?"

Ning Zhiwei didn't react, "What?"

Huo Shaokang was a little puzzled. "Aren't you going to give him an official position or a title?"

Ning Zhiwei was stunned, and pursed her lips. Just as she was about to say something, a report came from outside, "Seventh Young Master Ning has brought his family into the city."
