Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 358
But he said that when the news of King Yu's ascension to the throne reached Xiangyang, the time had come to the fourth day of June.

The whole city is jubilant.

Wang Fu is no exception.

Then came the canonization.

"Sister, you are the queen now."

Sun Damianang smiled and held on to his sleeves.

Sun Xueniang was also very happy.

"Aren't you a concubine too?"

As a queen, Sun Xueniang felt that she was light and her legs were a little weak.

This moment came too fast.

From princess to queen, it took less than two years to make such a big leap, it felt like a dream.

However, this matter had been expected long ago, but she withstood it, and couldn't help but say:

"When Miaoxian gives birth to a child, we will go to Nanjing."

Now in the family, except for Miaoxian, everyone has given birth, so it can be said that this is waiting for her alone.

"Let's go faster!"

The damselfly puffed up her small face, like a cheeky raccoon slave, her eyes widened:

"Nanjing is so big, there must be many vixens seducing my brother-in-law, but we can't let them succeed."

"Okay!" Sun Xueniang shook her head, teasingly said: "Isn't it you, a foxy girl, who seduced you?"

"Sister~"

Sun Damiana became shy in an instant, and a few red clouds rose on her fair and tender face.

"Okay, it's a blessing that our sisters can still be together now."

Sun Xueniang sighed.

God knows how the family struggled after their father died.

Just when the two sisters were in a happy mood, a person ushered in outside the gate of the palace.

He was dusty and tired, but he couldn't hide his scholarly temperament.

The guards on the side cheered up, carried their bags, and looked around from time to time with curious expressions on their faces.

"Master, is this Xiangyang?"

The guard asked in a low voice: "This is much richer than Daizhou."

"Although it's just a prefecture, after all, it's been a governing place for two years, and it's normal for it to be a little richer."

Sun Shirui looked at the bustling crowd, men and women, old and young, with rapt eyes, while the children in the streets and alleys were frolicking unscrupulously.

This kind of peaceful scene, which he hadn't seen for many years, made him a little dazed.

"Perhaps, this trip is the right one."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Sun Shirui quickened his pace and came to the inner city with his guards.

Wearing a long gown and guards, although a bit embarrassed, no one dared to underestimate it.

When I came to the palace in the center of the city, guards were almost everywhere.

As soon as he approached, the guard said: "Scholar, Your Majesty is in Nanjing, and the palace has long stopped accepting foreigners, so don't go any further."

"If you want to apply for an official position, you can go to the Qiuxian Hall, there are still people there."

Sun Shirui was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the appearance of the master and servant, and couldn't help but laugh.

They looked like they were begging for an official.

Wait, Your Majesty?
"His Royal Highness King Yu has ascended the throne?"

"That's right!" The guard raised his chin and said proudly, "How can Xiangyang compare to Nanjing? Your Majesty, that is the destiny."

"I also hope that the queen will report to the queen and say that it is Sun Shirui of Daizhou who is asking to see him."

Seeing his serious appearance, the guard couldn't help but believe it.

If you let me be scolded, even if you are a scholar, I will beat you up.

After a while, the side door was wide open, and the queen came out to greet her in person.

At this moment, the guards at the door knelt down instantly.

"Brother, are you okay!"

Sun Xueniang said tremblingly, her face was full of joy.

When Sun Shirui saw his younger sister in palace attire, with bright eyes and steady steps, he knew that she had enjoyed a good life in recent years, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Meet the Empress!"

After taking a look, Sun Shirui quickly knelt down and kowtowed in salute.

"Brother, if this is the case between you and me, we will be divided."

Sun Xueniang asked someone to help him up, and said displeasedly.

"Courtesy cannot be discarded!" Sun Shiwei shook his head and said seriously.

Sun Xueniang understands that this elder brother has been studying for decades, and now he is born as a Juren and is now a teacher, so his personality cannot be changed.

"Hmph, big brother only has sister in his eyes!"

The damselfly at the side couldn't help but pouted, dissatisfied.

"The damselflies are grown girls too."

Only then did Sun Shirui come to his senses, and said with a smile, "The damselfly girl has transformed into a peerless beauty, and my brother can't even recognize her."

The three brothers and sisters gathered like this.

After a while, Zhang, Shi, Lu, Chen, and Sun Chuanting's monogamous and three concubines also came to the palace.

The Zhang family had no origin, the Shi family gave birth to Sun Shirui and Sun Xueniang, the Lu family gave birth to Sun Shining, and the Chen family gave birth to Damselfly.

Since there is no direct son, the relationship is relatively close.

Sun Shining, who just turned ten years old this year, saw his eldest brother for the first time, raised his head, and asked curiously, "Why haven't I seen my eldest brother before?"

Hearing this, Sun Shirui felt a little sour.

When his father Sun Chuanting was the governor of the three sides, he stayed in Daizhou to guard the ancestral house. At that time, his younger brother was only five years old, so how could he remember him.

"It doesn't matter if you remember elder brother or not, but you can't forget what your father looks like."

Sun Shirui said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's memories were brought back again, and the atmosphere instantly became sad.

"Daddy is a great hero. I will never forget his appearance."

Sun Shining nodded seriously, his nose became sour, and the circles of his eyes instantly turned red.

After reminiscing about the past, Sun Xueniang said: "Brother, the ancestral house in my hometown is left to the clan to look after. You might as well take the little one over and let us reunite as a family."

Sun Shirui hesitated: "I'm afraid it's not good? It's a long way, and the road is not safe."

"From Shanxi to Shaanxi, it's just across the Yellow River, so what's the trouble?"

On the side, Mrs. Zhang showed the posture of a aunt, and said in a deep voice: "Now that Xueniang is the queen, our family is destined to be different from ordinary people. If you are in Daizhou, Man Qing will have to do it."

……

In Nanjing, Emperor Shaowu's New Deal immediately set off a storm.

A storm of innovation.

As part of the household registration reform, the square and box system, which existed in name only, was officially abolished.

The character shop system for fire fighting, burglar prevention, and sewer dredging was also officially recognized and included in the two counties of Nanjing.

The so-called character shop is a shop with a hundred households as a shop, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities use the shop as a point to carry out overall planning for anti-theft and fire prevention, and then slowly reduced to a grassroots governance system.

In order to distinguish clearly, we use Qianziwen as the name of the character shop, such as Tianzipu, Dizipu, etc.

Fang and Xiang can only manage private households, but word shops are more inclusive, and naturally replace the original Fang.

Only when the system goes first can there be a basis for reform.

Immediately, people from the craftsman's and lowly's registers rushed to the street shop one by one, witnessing with their own eyes that their household registrations had become civilian registrations.

One by one wept with joy, and the cheers continued one after another: "Long live, long live Your Majesty—"

"Sister, are we good citizens too?"

Bian Yujing's hands trembled, and the towering mountains continued to rise and fall, holding Li Xiangjun's hand tightly, still hard to believe.

"Sister, we are also good citizens!"

Li Xiangjun and others were born in the Qinhuai River, so naturally they are also humble.

"Sister, let me just say that the emperor is a good man!" Bian Yujing was so excited that she wept, but she still did not forget to raise her head and said proudly.
