Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Seeing Song Chenfeng looking at him with puzzled eyes, Xie Ting greeted him considerately, "Hello, brother-in-law."

"What did you call me?!"

Song Chen almost spilled the tea in his hand. Weren't they still trying to match them up half a month ago? Why did they change their address today?

He looked at A-luan who was standing beside him. A-luan had no intention of explaining, but just nudged Xie Ting with her elbow.

In the eyes of everyone, this action looked more like flirting between the two or just a girl's shyness.

Song Chenfeng's face turned pale, "You..."

"Brother, it's time for you and sister-in-law to serve tea."

Song Zhi spoke up and brought the topic back.

Song Chenfeng then withdrew his gaze and began to serve tea with a heavy heart.

After this, everyone had breakfast together.

Song Chenfeng was always a little absent-minded, but he was still considerate to Cuihua and kept picking food for her.

After everyone had finished eating and dispersed, Song Chenfeng caught up with Xie Ting and asked, "Brother Xie, are you and A Luan really together?"

Xie Ting thought of the agreement he had made with A-Luan and nodded. "We're getting to know each other well, so we're not together yet. But who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe we'll fall in love."

Song Chenfeng didn't know how he felt. When he got this answer, he was both happy and unhappy.

Finally, he could only mumble, "You treat her well. She's very good."

"Of course. Apart from anything else, just based on our friendship, I wouldn't bully Sister A-Luan."

Even if you want to bully him, you have to be brave enough to bully him. If that hammer comes at him, he will die instantly!

After the two separated, A-Luan quickly came over and said, "Let's go."

Since they have decided to please their elders, they always have to put on a show.

Today, Xie Ting asked A Luan to go to the martial arts training ground to practice archery. A Luan plans to invite Xie Ting to the arena for a competition tomorrow.

Both of them were very interested in each other's arrangements, so they cooperated very well.

Looking at the harmonious appearance of the two, Xie Yinyin couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that they get along quite well."

After the New Year, all the soldiers gathered again.

The hundreds of thousands of troops were extremely powerful, and the palace was almost completed, so Song Zhi announced that he would officially take over in three days.

At the same time, she ordered most of the soldiers to go to the first city on the border in a low-key manner.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the third day, at dawn, solemn trumpets sounded inside and outside the imperial city.

The people all gathered outside the palace walls, craning their necks to look at the tall and majestic buildings inside the walls.

Majestic guards were spread across every corner of the palace, and well-trained palace maids were neatly distributed everywhere.

At this time, in front of the main hall, the ministers stood there respectfully. They were dressed in court robes with exquisite embroidery and had solemn expressions.

Song Zhi was wearing a black and red empress's uniform with intricate patterns, especially the phoenix on her back, which looked lifelike and added a touch of imperial majesty to her.

With the phoenix crown on her head, she looks even more domineering.

As the sound of ceremonial music began, Song Zhi stepped forward step by step and climbed the stairs leading to the highest point.

She left behind her tragic death in her previous life, all the regrets and humiliations she had suffered, and stepped up to the top.

Stopping at the highest point, she turned around and looked down at everything.

To her now, the people below seemed so insignificant at this moment, as if everything was in her palm and she could make clouds and rain with a wave of her hand.

No wonder everyone is willing to fight for power, it feels so good.

Standing at the front were Mu Nanqi and Song Yang, followed by Liu Ruoyu and Li Yan.

Further down the list are the ministers arranged according to their ranks.

All the ministers knelt down and paid homage, and shouts of "Long live the emperor" rang out in unison, deafeningly resounding throughout the world.

Song Zhi said sternly, "Everyone, please stand up."

"Thank you, Empress."

All the ministers stood up again in unison.

Then comes the sacrifice to heaven and earth, and the seal of the imperial book.

By the time the complicated ceremony was completed, it was already noon.

Fortunately, there was Liu Ruoyu, the general manager, who had already arranged everything. After the ceremony, all the ministers came to the banquet to celebrate for the new emperor.

After a busy whole day, the enthronement was officially completed.

Song Zhi had arranged various matters for everyone two days ago, so she was so tired that she just lay down on the bed and didn't worry about anything.

Everything is not as simple now as it was in the City Lord's Mansion. There is no order without rules, so the morning court the next day is not as simple as before.

At the morning court session, Song Zhi proposed the idea of ​​attacking the State of Li, and some people naturally supported it. Now is the time when morale is high, and the effect of the expedition will definitely be good.

There are also some people who are opposed to it. After all, the mess caused by the famine in the previous dynasty still needs to be properly recuperated before it can be repaired.

Because of his ascension to the throne, Song Zhi exempted the people from taxes for one year. It was really inappropriate to continue to waste people's money and time on launching a war at this time.

In response, Song Zhi explained, "Money is not a problem. I have a mountain of gold. Only by spending money on the front line can I better motivate the people to generate income."

The opposing minister added, "But the Kingdom of Li is a powerful nation. We have just established a new country, so it would be best not to offend them, lest they hold a grudge and direct all their conflicts towards us."

In response, Song Zhi explained, "To be honest, I have offended the Kingdom of Li a long time ago."

After a pause, he added, "The kind of mortal enemy."

After all, if she hadn't diverted the trouble to the east, the State of Li would not have been dealt with so desperately by the State of Wei.

What's more, she was monopolizing Liu Ruoyu and was Liu Ruoyu's umbrella. Just for this reason, it would be strange if Jiang Li didn't hate her.

Since Liu Ruoyu returned to Phoenix Country, Jiang Li had tried countless times to secretly have someone kidnap her, but each time he was discovered by the secret guards and failed. There was even one time when Jiang Li wanted to kidnap her himself, but was forced to give up because Mu Nanqi stood in his way.

So, how could Jiang Li not hate him?

The opposing ministers fell silent. They sighed and immediately changed their tune, saying, "This war must be fought. It would be best if we could cooperate with Wei to attack from both sides. That way, Li will be forced to focus on the front and not the rear, and we can defeat it directly through constant attrition!"

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Then let's do as you say, my dear ministers."

My dear ministers, you are helpless. Do you have any choice?

So on the second day after he ascended the throne, Song Zhi announced to the world that the Huang Kingdom was about to attack the Li Kingdom and the fight would not stop until the end!

Upon hearing the good news, the State of Wei sent a message of praise overnight, saying that Song Zhi's decision was simply wise and brave, and that the future development of the State of Huang would definitely be only slightly worse than that of the State of Wei.

The other countries were shocked. They did not expect Song Zhi to take such a step just after taking over the previous dynasty.

After all, in the eyes of most people, the new country is fragile. This is the time to stabilize and develop the country. Continuing to launch wars will inevitably damage the foundation of the country.

But this situation does not apply to the Phoenix Kingdom.

Firstly, the casualties of the Phoenix Kingdom in the battle with Tianqi were not great, and it was mainly due to Mu Yuanzhi digging his own grave.

Secondly, she had promised Ruoyu.
