Using the excuse of Madam Li, Tang Yin called Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji over and revealed his true intentions for seizing the Hedong Region. He originally thought that it would be a waste of time to persuade the two, but he never expected that Qiu Zhen and would take such a stand and was willing to support his decision fully.
With the support of the two of them, Tang Yin no longer had any more worries, and could finally relax and boldly do what he needed to do.
Tang Yin was now the King and he was not simply bestowing the title of Madam. He needed to complete the next edict in a simple manner and would also need to conduct a complicated yet grand ceremony. It was just that right now, Tang Yin was only focusing on the matters of the army build-up and the war against Ning. He didn't have enough energy to carry out such a large scale crowning ceremony.
This was exactly what the officials below wanted, right now the Feng Country treasury was empty and ready to go, if they really wanted to conduct a large crowning ceremony, they would have to spend a lot of money. Furthermore, if everything was taken as a piece of cake, they would let the citizens see a thrifty and considerate monarch, and he would be able to win the respect and respect of the citizens.
The bestowal ceremony was presided over by Right Prime Minister Shangguan Yuanji. On the day before the bestowment, Tang Yin intentionally brought Wu Mei, Fan Min and the other two to Windy Mountain to offer sacrifice to the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors.
Typhoon Mountain was located five kilometers northwest of Yan City. It was named after the national name of Feng Country, which could be considered the national mountain of Feng Country. After Zhong Tian usurped the throne, he demolished the Zhan Clan's Ancestral Temple and re-established the Zhong Clan Ancestral Temple. However, after Zhong Tian lost in battle, the Zhong Clan Ancestral Temple was pushed down and the Tang Clan Ancestral Temple was built. But Tang Yin was an orphan, and even he did not know who his own ancestors were, so he allowed people to immediately create a wolf statue inside the Ancestral Temple. He admired wolves, and also hoped that their Feng Country could be like wolves, and had a tenacious vitality and unparalleled attack power.
The monarch's will was the will of the nation, and the respect of the monarch would soon spread throughout the country. In the future, the path of wolves would basically become the national road of Feng Country, and the Feng Country that was already used for fighting would also become more aggressive.
After the memorial service was completed, Tang Yin led the three women and the Minister of Civil And Military Affairs to return to the Yan City Palace and paid respects to the Feng Palace in the palace with Wu Mei, Fan Min and Yuan Qianyi. At this time, Wu Mei, Fan Min, Yuan Qianyi could already be considered as Tang Yin's legal wife.
The next day, the crowning ceremony officially began.
In accordance to the palace's etiquette, on the night before the bestowment of the title, the three women, Wu Mei, Fan Min and Yuan Qianyi, were to each return home. Of course, Wu Mei and Fan Min had no problems, their homes were also in the Yan City, but Yuan Qianyi's wasn't here. At this time, Wu Mei took the initiative to invite her to stay at the Dancing Palace for the night.
At this time, Wu Mei already had the intention to rope Yuan Qianyi in. Yuan Qianyi naturally had no objections and happily accepted.
Two days later, the palace sent a large number of palace maids and guards to the Wu and Fan palaces to bring the three women out of their homes and into the palace. When they went to the palace, they sat in ordinary carriages. When they arrived at the palace gates, there was already a carriage waiting for them. The three women alighted from the carriage and got on.
Actually, the Sovereign King only needed to wait in the palace at this time. On the other hand, Tang Yin personally went out of the palace gate, and when he looked outside, he was shocked. He did not send anyone to organize anything, but there were a lot of people gathered outside the palace. It could be said to be a sea of people with no boundaries, and it was hard to tell how many there were.
Tang Yin who was riding on his horse reacted quickly, he did not stop and smiled as he waved to the people around him.
"Great King!"
At that moment, the cheers were like an avalanche. All of the gathered citizens kneeled down as they shouted "Great King".
Tang Yin took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Seeing the three girls slowly approaching him, Tang Yin spurred his horse to go over.
He first went to Wu Mei's front and looked inside. Wu Mei was wearing a bright red dress, and her face was painted with beautiful makeup, making her look even more charming and gorgeous.
"Nervous?" Tang Yin didn't ignore her tightly clenched fist as he bent down and approached Wu Mei who was in the middle of the carriage, asking her softly.
When Wu Mei saw Tang Yin, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed Tang Yin's sleeves, and asked: "Are there a lot of people outside?"
Tang Yin smiled and said indifferently: "Quite a few."
"Please sit with me!" Wu Mei said as she looked around at the spacious space.
The courtesy is really big, Tang Yin really wanted to go in and accompany her, but how could there be a Sovereign King who would also want to sit in the courtesy? Tang Yin smiled bitterly, gently patting the back of Wu Mei's hand and said: "It's alright, I'll be entering the palace very soon."
"Alright!" Wu Mei pouted her bright red lips.
Tang Yin had the urge to lower his head and kiss his, but he endured it in the end. In front of everyone's eyes, as a Monarch, he didn't dare to be too disrespectful and indulgent.
After saying her goodbyes to Wu Mei, Tang Yin then came to the side of the carriage where Fan Min was. Compared to Wu Mei, Fan Min was relatively more relaxed. Usually, Fan Min would not put on much makeup, and dressed up in a casual manner. But now that she had carefully and meticulously made up her face, she no longer had any heroic spirit, and had a lot of the gentleness of a woman, and even more so had the charm of a woman.
Looking at Yuan Qianyi, she was the most relaxed of the three, her attire was only slightly heavier than usual. She looked elegant and noble, and when she raised her hands and lifted her feet, she was confident and mature.
The three women were all different, each with their own unique characteristics. However, there was one thing in common — they were all beauties that could cause a person to lose their virginity.
At this time, Tang Yin's heart was filled with emotions. If it was before, he would never have imagined that she would have three fans like Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi. Of course, if Yin Rou was also here, that would be for the best.
He shook his head and took a deep breath, causing himself to stop thinking about Yin Rou. He turned his horse and followed the horse into the palace.
Tang Yin conferred Wu Mei the title of Madam Le Ping and stayed in the Ying Hua Palace; Fan Min gave him the title of Madam Wan An and stayed in the Tai An Palace; Yuan Qianyi gave him the title of Madam De Rong and stayed in the Jin Ning Hall. Within the palace, only the places where the monarch and the empress dowager lived could be called palaces. The places where the queen and the three madams lived were called palaces. As for the other concubines, no matter how much they were favored by the monarch, they could only be called pavilions.
On that day, Tang Yin held a feast at the Heaven and Earth Palace to welcome the imperial court's Minister of Civil And Military Affairs. In addition, Wu Yu who had always been claiming that he was sick at home and Fan Min's father, Fan Ju, also came to attend the banquet.
and Fan Ju were naturally very happy that their daughter was able to become the wife of a nation and become the statesman of the nation. Especially Wu Yu, who looked exceptionally energetic as he drank and laughed with the people around him until his face flushed red.
After three rounds of drinking and five courses of food, Wu Yu shakily stood up, held his wine cup and walked over to Tang Yin, saying: "King, this old man respects you!"
"The country leader is too polite." Tang Yin also stood up and clinked cups with Wu Yu.
After drinking the wine, Wu Yu laughed: "My King, from now on, we are family. If my King has anything to do, please do not mention it!"
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed with his head held high, and said: "Why do you say that? If I have something to trouble you with, I will naturally say it directly to you." Since they weren't his trusted aides, Tang Yin had already changed his name to 'Gu'.
Wu Yu nodded and paused. The old man seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked: "Great King, if I remember correctly, my Directly Subordinate Army is still lacking a Deputy Commander."
Tang Yin knew that Wu Yu was not someone simple to toast with, as expected. He smiled slightly, and said: "That's right, Deputy Commander is temporarily absent from Directly Subordinate Army."
Amongst the five armies of Pingyuan Army, Pingyuan Army, Chifeng Army, and Directly Subordinate Army, only Directly Subordinate Army did not have Deputy Commander s. In fact, even Gu Yue, the commander of Directly Subordinate Army, was only in name and his Directly Subordinate Army was always under Tang Yin's direct control.
Wu Yu looked serious and said: "Great King, the army is not child's play, they must be managed by people that you trust, and the best would be if it were our own people. Can this old man recommend a candidate for the Deputy Commander?"
Since this wasn't a day to celebrate, when Wu Yu had brought up this matter in front of everyone's eyes, it was impossible for Tang Yin to deny him face. He patiently said, "It's fine if the country's sovereign says so."
Wu Yu said: "The King should be very familiar with the people this old man recommends, the two women from my Wu Family, Wu Ying."
His thoughts were extremely clear. It was not enough for his daughter to become the wife of the king, and he even wanted to insert his other daughter into the army to assume important positions. In that way, even if he was not the Right Prime Minister, the prestige and status of Wu Family was still far from reach for outsiders.
In the past, why were the Feng Country so weak? The generals of the army were either the relatives or the trusted aides of the four great nobles, and each of them had someone to rely on to form their own camp, constantly fighting each other, which greatly consumed the combat strength of the army. But now, Wu Yu had brought him back to him.
If Wu Yu was recommending someone else, Tang Yin would not even think about it, he would immediately reject Wu Yu's suggestion, but Wu Yu was recommending Wu Ying, so Tang Yin was unable to say anything. Firstly, Tang Yin had a very good impression of Wu Ying, and secondly, he also admired Wu Ying's abilities. Moreover, Wu Ying was Wu Mei's blood sister, perhaps because he loved her, but also liked his a lot and thought of his as his own sister.
He did not answer Wu Yu immediately, but raised his head to look at Wu Ying, who was seated not too far away. At this time, Wu Ying was also looking in his direction.
Sigh! Tang Yin secretly sighed, and said to Wu Yu: "National Elder, the military is very difficult, and also extremely dangerous.
Seeing that Tang Yin did not directly reject, Wu Yu's heart was overjoyed, and he immediately said: "King, this old man has already considered, life and death is decided, wealth and fortune exists in the heavens, since Ying'er likes to live in the army, this old man can only follow her."
