Chapter 188 – What are you thinking about!
Since Bai Qian was regent, she didn’t need to go through the trouble of doing this and that. She just issued a proclamation to let everyone in Linfeng Kingdom know.
Until the little prince grows up, Linfeng Kingdom will be taken over by Empress Bai Qian.
All matters shall be handled by Empress Bai Qian.
After this proclamation was issued, the entire country was shocked. They never expected such an outcome.
After all, with the appearance of Zhou Li, many people had expectations.
No matter what Zhou Li’s past was, he was of royal blood, which gave people some confidence.
As long as they were of royal blood, they were all outstanding people.
Just like the emperor who died not long ago, there was no need to worry too much.
However, it’s unknown if the royal family’s luck was too bad… They just found the exiled Prince Zhou Li, and in the blink of an eye, he was dead.
This disrupted the already stabilized situation again.
However, before things could really get chaotic, the news that Empress Bai Qian took over Linfeng Kingdom spread.
Along with it came a statement of agreement from all civil and military officials.
Not a single person was unwilling, and all officials agreed.
When people heard this news, they really doubted their ears… Thinking if they were confused from sleeping, otherwise how could they have heard such outrageous things!
Letting a woman manage Linfeng Kingdom, such a thing was impossible.
What could a mere woman understand?
She probably doesn’t even know how to write her own name.
What can such a woman do!
Women should obediently raise their children and stay in the inner chambers, which is the norm.
Still want to sit on the throne?
What are you thinking about!
Impossible.
However, in the end, everyone was disappointed.
Because it was true.
Bai Qian truly became the ruler of Linfeng Kingdom.
As a woman, she achieved what many men could not, becoming the new ruler of Linfeng Kingdom with an unstoppable momentum.
While various forces were digesting this unacceptable news, before they could react, even more shocking things happened.
Regarding Empress Bai Qian’s regency, the people of Linfeng Kingdom were not angry at all. Instead, they were overjoyed.
They were even planning to hold celebrations.
Afterwards, information from all over the country proved that this news was not wrong.
To ask the reason…
It is said to be the will of heaven.
And the earth dragon was a bad omen, and if they did not agree to Empress Bai Qian’s regency, even more disasters would descend.
For their future lives, the common people did not care who became the emperor, as long as it did not affect their lives.
Of course, there were also some stubborn factions who did not agree with Bai Qian’s regency as a woman.
However, people like this were dealt with without anyone noticing.
Not even their bodies were left behind.
After this, no one dared to oppose Bai Qian anymore.
Thus, it was like a huge stone suddenly fell from the sky into a pond.
However, there was no sound at all.
Not even a splash.
The stone sank to the bottom of the water.
Empress Bai Qian directly seized all power without any obstacles, moving forward with extreme smoothness.
As for those who had supported Bai Qian before, they also received some very substantial benefits after Bai Qian successfully gained control.
For example, Chengfeng Shan, who provided a lot of financial and material assistance to Bai Qian, not only received very generous material rewards, but with Empress Bai Qian as his powerful backer, his business in the capital prospered.
Even the government office dared not investigate him, so he could walk sideways without any problem.
The father and daughter duo, Gu Qing and Mengyao Gu, as loyal supporters of Bai Qian, were also repeatedly promoted in their official positions.
Gu Qing, who was originally a fifth-rank official, was directly promoted to the second rank, granted a golden seal and purple ribbon, and appointed as General of Chariots and Cavalry, second only to the Great General.
Mengyao Gu’s meritorious official title, originally sixth rank, was now promoted to the third rank as the High Protector.
If Mengyao Gu hadn’t wanted an actual official position and only a nominal meritorious official title, Bai Qian would have directly made her the Great General.
However, even as a nominal official, a third-rank title was extraordinary.
Especially considering Mengyao Gu’s age, it was even more incredible.
Not to mention that Gu Qing and Mengyao Gu, father and daughter, received their titles together. It was highly unlikely for two great figures to emerge from the same Gu family.
Therefore, the Gu family truly prospered!
Within the next hundred years, they would definitely occupy a place in the capital.
Just like the Wang Clan and the Zhou Family in their prime.
Upon realizing this, many people in the capital, like snowflakes, began sending invitations to the Gu family, regretting not having met members of the Gu family sooner.
However, it was not too late to regret it now.
Therefore, even though Mengyao Gu had returned from the Imperial Palace, she was still too busy to stand still.
She and Gu Qing received one group of guests after another, getting to know many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, and had no time to rest!
This made Gu Yu very distressed, and he secretly thought about sprinkling some medicinal powder at the entrance to stop the endless stream of people.
However, after considering the unpleasant look on his father-in-law’s face if he was discovered, Gu Yu hesitated and gave up.
This was still the Gu Residence. If he were to sprinkle medicinal powder, he would have to wait until these people left.
“Brother-in-law, my father and sister are receiving guests, why aren’t you going to help!”
“I’m afraid if I go over, I won’t be able to resist sprinkling them with laxatives.”
“…”
Just as Gu Qingheng appeared, eating candy, he saw Gu Yu looking distressed and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
After receiving Gu Yu’s answer, Gu Qingheng was immediately speechless.
His brother-in-law was still as petty as before!
It seemed he had to speak up to distract his brother-in-law, lest he keep dwelling on this matter and cause harm to the guests.
Gu Qingheng believed that his brother-in-law could really do something like sprinkling medicinal powder.
“By the way, brother-in-law, my father and sister have both received rewards, what about you! You also helped quite a bit with Empress Bai Qian’s regency. If there are no rewards, then Empress Bai Qian is too stingy.”
“I received them.”
“What are they! I’m so curious, I haven’t heard you mention them yet!”
However, it was unclear if it was Gu Qingheng’s illusion.
He felt that his brother-in-law’s expression seemed even darker than before.
Could it be that he had asked a forbidden topic?
However, since Empress Bai Qian had already given rewards, it should be a good thing!
“Are you curious?”
“Yes!”
“I’ll show you.”
As he spoke, Gu Yu didn’t wait for Gu Qingheng to reply. He directly moved a large quantity of gold bars from his space and placed them all around Gu Qingheng.
The gold bars emitted a golden light, reflecting Gu Qingheng in a golden hue as well.
