Xia Ningyan can't see through Yue Tianyou at all now. If Yue Tianyou wants to force her to abdicate by strengthening her power and gaining power, Xia Ningyan thinks it's normal.

However, now Yue Tianyou seems to have no such idea at all. Even in today's situation, Yue Tianyou is still just like he was before, without any intention of abdicating himself.

Could it be that Yue Tianyou doesn't really want to seek power and usurp the throne and become the emperor himself, as he shows, but that he simply has this arrogant character and is actually a loyal minister?

At this time, Xia Ningyan also had this idea suddenly pop up in her mind.

After all, everything Yue Tianyou has done in these years is to consolidate his power, monopolize power, and treat the emperor as a puppet. This is not something a loyal minister would do.

However, Yue Tianyou not only took action many times in critical moments of the Great Xia Dynasty, he even took down the Golden Lion Kingdom this time.

Yue Tianyou is so capable that he himself can become the overlord of a party, and the civil and military officials of the Great Xia Dynasty do not just obey his orders simply because they are afraid of Yue Tianyou.

But because I feel awe and fear for Yue Tianyou, I admire Yue Tianyou very much, and I obey him willingly.

With Yue Tianyou's strength and ability to control people, he could even establish himself as king. Would he really be interested in the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty?

"Ah! Annoying!"

Xia Ningyan didn't want to think too much at the moment. After all, it was useless to think too much now. She needed to have a good sleep to digest what happened today.

......

In the following days, because the Golden Lion Kingdom was annexed, Yue Tianyou left the matter to his subordinates to arrange.

Those who surrendered were basically reinstated, but in some more important places Yue Tianyou sent some subordinates who had followed Yue Tianyou for many years in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The capital of the Golden Lion Kingdom will naturally remain the same, but it is no longer the capital of the Golden Lion Kingdom, but a city of the Great Xia Dynasty.

On this day, go to the morning.

Xia Ningyan glanced around and found that Yue Tianyou was not coming to the morning court today.

However, this was not the first time that this happened. Xia Ningyan could not control Yue Tianyou, so she could only let him go. After all, all the rules in the Great Xia Dynasty were useless to Yue Tianyou.

Of course, during these days, Yue Tianyou just sat aside and did not report anything.

As for the rest of the officials, they are also about things about the people.

For example, wherever there is a flood, a famine or a plague, people need to be sent to deal with it.

Xia Ningyan can handle things like these very well. She is indeed an empress who serves the country and the people.

If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, then Xia Ningyan will definitely have no problems.

But this is a world where the strong are respected, and there are powerful forces everywhere. Even if you don't attack others, others may come to devour you.

Xia Ningyan does not yet have the ability to protect the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Your Majesty the Empress, I have something to report."

Xia Ningyan looked at the person listed below. His name was Lu Yuanjian. This person was also loyal to Yue Tianyou.

However, among the civil and military officials present, there was basically no one who did not obey Yue Tianyou, so there was nothing surprising.

Regardless of whether they are loyal to her or Yue Tianyou, as long as they don't do anything to harm the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Ningyan can't care whether they truly respect her or not.

At least, their superficial courtesy is still there.

"Say."

"Here is the list and distribution of officials who submitted to the Great Xia Dynasty. The Prime Minister said that it needs to be presented to Her Majesty the Empress for review. If Her Majesty the Empress has no objections, the Prime Minister will implement it according to this."

Huh, that sounds nice.

Even if you really have objections, will you really listen to yourself?

In the end, he still followed Yue Tianyou’s own ideas.

It's just a formality, so why doesn't Xia Ningyan know it?

"Send it over."

"Yes."

Since Yue Tianyou wants to watch it for himself, he can just watch it for himself. Anyway, if you go through the motions, I will go through the motions too.

The subordinates gave all these papers to Xia Ningyan. Xia Ningyan originally thought of opening them and flipping through them, but then closed them.

After all, Yue Tianyou doesn't listen to his own opinions, so why should he look so carefully?

Since the annexation of the Golden Lion Kingdom, Xia Ningyan's mentality has also undergone a change these days. She does not want to directly take away Yue Tianyou's power like she did at first, but simply just takes over Yue Tianyou's power casually.

Come.

Doesn’t he want to be his puppet? Then it’s better for him to be this puppet first.

However, after Xia Ningyan read through the memorial, she found that everything was arranged in order, including the number of people, official grades, configuration, soldiers stationed in the city, the approximate cost of raising troops for a year, etc., all had been written down

It’s very clear.

Moreover, the data is reasonable and there is no intention of cheating or embezzling the national treasury.

When she thought of this, Xia Ningyan also remembered it.

Yue Tianyou has monopolized power and wielded power in both the government and the public for so many years, but the Great Xia Dynasty's treasury has never had any wrong accounts, and every expenditure is well-founded.

It seems that over the years, there has never been any corruption or abuse of power for personal gain.

Xia Ningyan also checked the national accounts of the Great Xia Dynasty when her father was in power, and there were no problems. Every account of the money provided to the victims was clearly recorded.

This is exactly what a loyal minister would do, rather than what a powerful minister who wants to seek power and usurp the throne would do.

Of course, you can also suspect that Yue Tianyou did this just to seek power and seize the throne in the future, leaving a way out for himself.

After all, if you look at people with a colored eye, no matter what others do, they will be prejudiced.

You only see the speck in other people's eyes, but you can't see the log in your own eye.

After Xia Ningyan carefully read the memorial, she said: "It's well written. Tell the Prime Minister that I am very satisfied with it. I will leave everything to the Prime Minister to handle it."

"As commanded."

......

At the same time.

In the dynasties and capitals around the Great Xia Dynasty, they were not having a good time during this period, and they were living in panic.

Because they all already knew the news about the demise of the Golden Lion Kingdom and its annexation by the Great Xia Dynasty.

After all, it is impossible for the neighboring countries around the Daxia Dynasty not to know about such a big thing.

Many of these neighboring countries had invaded the Great Xia Dynasty in the past, and their individual strength was far inferior to that of the Golden Lion Kingdom.
