Fang Qinglin took the person into his arms and said, "Thank you so much for today's events, ma'am."
Back then, the six major sects besieged the Demon Sect, which resulted in the Demon Sect's annihilation. The remaining evil spirits of the Demon Sect are still hiding in hiding, daring not to show their faces.
Xie Hongling, the daughter of the leader, escaped the disaster because of Lu Chong's mistake, but when she appeared, she found that her parents were dead and the sect was destroyed.
But unfortunately, she married Lu Chong and gave birth to Lu Qinghan.
...No matter what Xie Hongling thinks, if her identity is exposed, she will become the target of public criticism. Even her son Lu Qinghan will be criticized.
Lu Chong is his junior brother, and Fang Qinglin naturally does not want him to suffer. If Xihe, who is the leader of the world, comes forward, he will naturally block Youyou's mouth, but he has never thought about it...
Hugging her tightly, he sighed: "I owe my wife a lot."
If it weren't for him, my wife wouldn't have made such a plan for an insignificant person.
Xihe tilted his head and smiled: "It's good that you know." He was arrogant and proud.
Fang Qinglin laughed dumbly and hugged him tighter.
The setting sun outside the house shone in, covering the two of them with a hazy golden mist. The palace maid and eunuch were waiting quietly in the distance, which was very beautiful.
-
The arrival of Lu Chong and his wife was just a small episode. Xihe was so unhappy that he couldn't feel comfortable eating anything, which made Fang Qinglin and all the palace people upset. It took three months for him to feel better.
At this time, the people she sent overseas finally came back, bringing back sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops.
On this trip, the leader of the team was Mou Yanping, and there were also disciples from several major Lingxiao sects.
The Lingxiao faction had some bad relations with Xihe from the very beginning. During the early and middle stages of her uprising, these guys were afraid that she would fail and did not get involved. It was not until later that they saw the heroes being eliminated by her that they panicked.
However, Xihe's wings were already full at that time, so where was the need for them? Didn't pay attention.
This group of guys shamelessly stayed in the camp. When they heard later that she was looking for someone to go to sea, they were afraid that they would be one step behind others this time, so they volunteered to sign up, even if they knew there were risks.
When they went to sea, Xihe and the old emperor had not yet decided the winner.
When he returned, Xihe had been on the throne for more than two years.
Looking at the things on the ground, Xihe finally smiled: "Send it to the Imperial Manor to be nurtured!"
Everyone was confused, so they cultivated it carefully. Only when they saw the thing unfold with their own eyes later did they realize why the Queen paid so much attention to it.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted on a large scale and were sent to various places in the coming spring, with the county magistrate personally overseeing the planting.
The emergence of new staple foods made the people excited, and they could finally fill their stomachs.
In a state of joy, Xihe quietly gave birth to a pair of twins in the palace.
Xihe named the two of them: Fang Yuming and Fang Yuyao.
She caressed the delicate faces of the two children: "Ms. sir, what do you think of letting them practice martial arts with the Grand Master in the future?"
Fang Qinglin nodded: "Master Tai's attainments in martial arts are higher than anyone else in the world. It would be great if he could teach him." No one mentioned that the appearance of twins in the royal family was a serious omen.
As the days passed, Dachu was undergoing subtle changes with each passing day.
Five years later, when walking on the streets, even in the most impoverished counties, the desolate and desperate atmosphere of the past is no longer there. Everyone has enough to eat.
At the gate of the palace, Xihe arranged the clothes for his two sons: "You are not allowed to be naughty when you go to the Taichu sect. You must listen to your uncles and senior brothers, you know?"
Fang Yuyao said anxiously: "I know, mother, please let go quickly. If you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up with dinner!"
Xihe: "... Taichu will arrive in ten days from Taichu. Even if you fly over, you won't be able to eat Grandmaster's dinner!" Patted the child's butt, "Let's go, let's go, you brat!"
Fang Yuyao slipped out of her arms and quickly boarded the carriage, wishing he could fly out as soon as possible.
Xihe shook his head and looked at his eldest son aside: "Ming'er, do you understand what your uncle Yan said on the road, don't just run around with others?"
The little person bowed obediently: "Mom, I remember."
Xihe: ...My mood suddenly became subtle.
She didn't know what went wrong. Of these two children, one was out-of-touch and troublesome; the other looked well-behaved, but was very easy to listen to other people's words, and could be deceived by Tang Su.
Xihe took a deep breath and touched the child's head: "Go."
It's better if they have someone guarding them so they won't cause a big mess.
The carriage rolled and soon disappeared at the end of the road. The couple turned back.
After that, news about the two children came from time to time. Fang Yuyao pulled the beard of a certain uncle and broke the Grand Master's cup. Fang Yuming was deceived into writing for others and went home with a kidnapper...
Xihe covered her face. Fortunately, she never thought of letting these two brats become monarchs, otherwise the country would be over sooner or later.
It has been nearly ten years since she became the monarch. However, the successor has not yet been decided. Rumors have spread not only in the court but also among the people. Some people even approached the only remaining second prince under the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty.
Fang Qinglin ordered Liumen to go to various places to arrest people. However, the symptoms were not treated, and a successor must be established.
That morning, as soon as Xihe sat down, there was a lot of noise from below, begging her to become the heir apparent.
Xihe smiled and waved to the chief eunuch: "Declare the decree."
All the ministers stared at the bright yellow imperial edict in the hands of the great eunuch.
The great eunuch Ling Ran was not afraid. He stepped forward and issued a decree in front of all the ministers that shocked and excited them: after His Majesty abdicates the throne twenty years later, his successor will be elected by the cabinet.
Quiet, dead silence.
All the ministers were stunned and stared blankly at His Majesty on the throne.
Xihe held his chin with his slender hand: "I said it during the uprising: to overthrow the monarchy, the king will be elected."
The minister's mouth was still open. They knew, of course they knew! But oh, how many people dream of becoming an emperor, but who is really willing to let go?
Xihe smiled and said: "I don't occupy this seat. If any of you want to sit down, you can start preparing now."
The ministers were in an uproar. No one thought that she was serious, but they were excited in their hearts. If, if...
"but."
So the minister looked at her eagerly.
Xihe smiled very nicely: "The person who finally ascends to the throne will be judged on his abilities and political achievements. Such things as forming cliques, committing fraud, and assassinating political opponents will not be used at all!"
The minister's eyes rolled, as long as this was done covertly and not discovered, it would be fine.
"Well, if you think you can deceive me, then try it."
Minister: "..."
Before the court came down, Xihe's remarks spread, shocking both the government and the public.
Everyone thought Her Majesty the Queen was crazy, but irrepressible ambition arose in the hearts of countless people.
If what His Majesty said is true, does any of them have a chance?
And some sophisticated people have begun to think about Xihe's words, "The person who finally ascends to the throne is judged by his ability and political performance." So how does ability show up and where does political performance come from?
Eventually they set their sights on this still barren and impoverished land.
