The Empress ascended the throne through a court assembly and was elected by the courtiers with the support of Empress Dowager Li and Grand Empress Dowager Zheng. In terms of righteousness, it was done openly and aboveboard, without a single point worthy of criticism.
After sitting on the Dragon Throne, the Empress acted justly, only dealing with the corrupt Doctor Wan and appointing a Jiang Extraordinary Minister, with the highest position for her confidants no more than fifth-rank.
Of course, this does not mean that the Empress is soft. On the contrary, compared to the feeble Emperor Taikang who had to rely heavily on Prime Minister Wang, and the gentle and hesitant Emperor Taihe, this Da Liang Empress is astute and decisive, her methods ruthless, not making a move easily, but once she does, it's shocking and awe-inspiring.
This also made the court officials genuinely revere her in their hearts.
