At the mention of Su Qingcheng's name, the ministers looked at Bai Ze, then at Gu Yuan.
Marquis Su's daughter, Gu Yuan's legal wife, how could she be related to Bai Ze?
When they thought of Bai Ze's handsome face and his illustrious military exploits, everyone looked at Gu Yuan with envy in their eyes.
Gu Yuan, who had no idea that he had become the target of everyone's pity, spoke up as well, "I also recommend Su Qingcheng."
The moment Gu Yuan spoke, everyone in the Imperial Court was thunderstruck. After a long while, Lord Wang asked, "Lord Gu, is this Su Qingcheng your wife, Su Qingcheng?"
Gu Yuan nodded, "Yes, my wife."
Lord Wang heaved a sigh of relief at Gu Yuan's admission, then said, "This ascension is not child's play. I'm afraid Miss Su will not be able to handle this important task."
After all, Su Qingcheng had been raised by Marquis Su to be the Emperor's favorite concubine since she was young. After she was married to Gu Yuan, she basically never left the house. If they let such a woman become the Empress, they would definitely be ridiculed by the other two countries.
Furthermore, if the other two countries were to join forces and start a war against them, they would probably …
Lord Wang's words were tactful, but it was obvious that he did not think highly of Jiujiu, and felt that Jiujiu would not be able to handle this important task.
Before Gu Yuan could explain, Bai Ze unsheathed his sword.
The sword in Bai Ze's hand had accompanied him from the battlefield until now, and more than a thousand people had died by his sword. The moment he unsheathed his sword, the temperature in the Imperial Court plummeted. The ministers who were furious at Bai Ze's suggestion of Su Qingcheng immediately felt their hearts turn cold.
As for Lord Wang, who was being pointed at by Bai Ze's sword, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Upon seeing Lord Wang's fate, the officials who were just about to voice their objections immediately shut their mouths, not daring to utter a single word. They were afraid that they would suffer the same fate as Bai Ze.
At this moment, even if Bai Ze wanted a dog to be the Emperor, they could only nod their heads in agreement, let alone Su Qingcheng.
Bai Ze disdainfully sheathed his sword when he saw the ministers' reactions.
Bai Ze withdrew his sword, and the intimidating pressure from before was instantly retracted. While everyone present heaved a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but ask, "General Bai, may I ask, you and Miss Su are …"
Bai Ze suddenly recommended Su Qingcheng, and Gu Yuan's expression didn't change. It could be seen that Gu Yuan didn't want to recommend Bai Sujiu, but Su Qingcheng.
Bai Ze knew that if he didn't reveal Jiujiu's identity, this group of pedantic ministers would definitely make an issue out of Jiujiu's identity. Thus, he directly said, "Su Qingcheng is Sujiu's and my master."
Not only did Bai Ze reveal his and Jiujiu's identity, he even mentioned Bai Sujiu.
One was in control of the world's military forces, while the other was in control of the country's economic lifeline. A woman was actually the master of these two people.
Upon hearing Jiujiu's true identity, Lord Wang's eyes rolled back, and he fainted once more.
He actually objected to such a powerful woman becoming the Empress. His life was over.
After hearing that Jiujiu was not only Bai Ze's master, but also Bai Sujiu's master, the people who objected just now fell silent. It was obvious that they had tacitly agreed to Jiujiu's ascension to the throne.
Bai Sujiu's shop appeared after Su Qingcheng married Gu Yuan, and Bai Ze appeared after Bai Sujiu controlled the country's rations.
Now.
Bai Sujiu controlled the country's commerce, and even controlled the rations of the other two countries. Bai Ze was like an unsheathed sword, invincible.
No matter who it was, as long as they controlled one of them, it would be easy for them to ascend to the throne. Furthermore, Bai Sujiu controlled both of them, so it was naturally easy for her to ascend to the throne.
No wonder Gu Yuan would mention Bai Sujiu, and no wonder Gu Yuan didn't have any reaction when Bai Ze recommended Su Qingcheng. Gu Yuan should be the one who knew everything the best.
And.
The most unfathomable person was Su Qingcheng.
She was trained as the Emperor's favorite concubine by Marquis Su, but in the end, she didn't become the Emperor's favorite concubine.
She even said that Marquis Su was an expert in reincarnation.
Now, he became the Retired Emperor.
How was she an expert in reincarnation? She was the chosen one.
No matter who Su Qingcheng passed the throne to, she would have half of the Su family's bloodline. The Su family was also destined to ascend to the heavens in a single step.
Jiujiu's ascension to the throne was thus decided.
This time, due to Bai Ze's failure, no one dared to go to the Marquis' residence to congratulate him. However, Marquis Su was stunned by the news and was in a daze for the entire day.
Marquis Madam held Jiujiu's hand and kept wiping her tears. She kept saying, "My son has suffered."
Although Marquis Su raised Su Qingcheng as his favorite concubine, he still loved Su Qingcheng a lot. Although Marquis Madam tacitly agreed with her husband's actions, she tried her best to compensate him in other aspects.
Otherwise, a person who was raised as a favorite concubine would not have been raised to be so naive and love-struck.
Marquis Madam attributed the reason why Jiujiu became the Emperor to Jiujiu, who was raised as a favorite concubine when she was young. It was too hard for Jiujiu to resist the title of Emperor.
Jiujiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Marquis Madam's motherly love. In the end, she could only tell Marquis Madam that she didn't suffer. She just wanted to change the current situation of the country.
Because of the Emperor's death, Jiujiu's ascension to the throne was set for three days later.
Three days later.
Jiujiu walked up to the high platform in a dragon robe under the gaze of all the civil and military officials. The moment Jiujiu walked up to the high platform, auspicious signs appeared from the heavens and dragons and phoenixes cried out.
The ministers who had submitted to Bai Ze because of his martial prowess immediately knelt down and shouted "Long live the Emperor" after seeing such auspicious signs.
Jiujiu looked at the ministers who were prostrating on the ground and smiled as she held the hand of Gu Yuan, who was standing by the side to confer a title on her.
Gu Yuan's fingers twitched and he wanted to break free, but Jiujiu stubbornly pulled him to her side. Jiujiu smiled. "You are my husband. I will share everything with you."
Gu Yuan's expression changed and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a faint smile.
After receiving the worship of the people, Jiujiu quickly began to promulgate a series of new policies.
This fully made the group of ministers realize that Jiujiu didn't ascend the throne only because she was Bai Ze's master, but also because of her true ability.
The series of changes in the country had long been known by the spies of the other two countries. The soldiers of the two countries at the border were already ready to make a move.
After Jiujiu ascended the throne, she directly ordered Bai Ze to set off immediately. If the two countries dared to make a move, they wouldn't be able to return.
Now, Bai Ze no longer had the intention to climb up step by step. He directly knelt down and swore that he would use the territories of the other two countries to celebrate Jiujiu's ascension to the throne.
After Bai Ze flattered a lot, he set off for the border.
And Bai Sujiu also followed Bai Ze to the border.
Before the three armies moved, the rations had to go first.
Bai Sujiu had to prepare sufficient rations for Bai Ze and also tamper with the rations of the other two countries.
Without rations, the soldiers of the other two countries wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
After settling the matters at the border, Jiujiu began to deal with the internal affairs.
