The Whole Country Develops a Different World

Chapter 226: old-fashioned empress

In the 1215th year of the Great Summer Calendar, on August 14th, it had been raining heavily for four consecutive days in half of the Great Summer, and the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, and the water level of the river rose rapidly. Seeing that large tracts of fertile fields in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are about to be flooded, a famine is imminent.

However, the next day, a bright baby cry came from the palace, and then spread throughout the entire imperial city. The next moment the torrential rain in the sky stopped suddenly, and the dark clouds in the sky dissipated at an incredible speed.

This torrential rain, which was about to hit the entire dynasty, instantly dissipated thousands of miles of clear sky, and a beautiful rainbow appeared above the palace.

Today is the day when the first child of Emperor Xia Ning, who had just ascended the throne, was born, and it was this child who made that cry.

The news spread throughout the capital in just half a day. After all, everyone heard the loud cry of the baby, a voice that even the heavy rain could not cover up. Then things began to spread at an incredible speed. In just one month, under the impetus of the royal family, the news spread throughout the entire summer in an instant.

For a time, the whole summer, from the dignitaries and nobles to the ordinary people in Jing City, were discussing this matter, and everyone thought it was a sign of the saint's coming into the world.

Legend has it that the birth of saints is accompanied by visions. So far, there are two who can be called saints. They are Xiazu who created the Daxia civilization and the first emperor who unified the world. According to legends, the birth of these two saints was accompanied by a vision. For example, Xiazu, at the moment of birth, the sun and the moon appeared in the sky at the same time, which is called the sun and the moon.

As things continued to brew, everyone began to think that this new-born baby was a saint, a saint who could rival Xiazu and the First Emperor in the future. Some people even shouted that "the saints have no father, and they should come out because of the heaven".

A month later, when the baby was full moon, Emperor Xia Ning made him the crown prince.

In the next ten years, Daxia will be smooth sailing, with bumper harvests every year, and the major granaries are completely full. This period is called the rule of Ningsheng.

Relying on the general trend of the sage prince, Emperor Xia Ning launched his own great cause and implemented a series of reforms. The low tax was implemented, and it was expressly forbidden to sell one's body as a humble person, and all the commoners who sold themselves were turned into long-term workers. Relief grains are often distributed, rent and corvés are reduced, agricultural production is developed, and water conservancy projects are built. Remove corrupt officials and strengthen centralization. Abolish officials and merge counties.

Emperor Xia Ning even broke the monopoly of knowledge of the aristocratic family to a certain extent. There are government schools in every county, so that ordinary people can also have the opportunity to learn knowledge, although this opportunity is very slim, maybe a hundred people in the entire county can learn. At the same time, the official selection test was established, a prototype of the imperial examination system.

The rule of Ningsheng: The people are prosperous and the country is strong, the society is stable, and the court is enlightened. In this era, ordinary people can eat two meals a day, and there is rarely a situation of starvation. Even beggars on the side of the road, most of them died of illness, starvation is rare.

The prosperity of Ningsheng's rule laid a solid foundation for the next prosperous era of Tianyuan.

In the year 1229 of the Great Xia calendar, when the news came, this peaceful and stable society exploded. Rumors spread that the current sage prince is actually a daughter.

The news is incredible. The past ten years have been good and rainy. Most people attribute it to the saint Fuze. Most of the common people have a longevity card for the current prince. This high prestige, known as a saint, the prince who was destined to inherit the great line, turned out to be a daughter!

Just when Emperor Xia Ning was thinking about how to calm down the turmoil, the crown prince actually stood up and publicly admitted his daughter.

The fact that the news was confirmed caused a bigger uproar. At first, everyone was dubious, and even most people thought that this was a rumor released by some despicable villain. But now that the news is confirmed, and the prince himself admitted it, the shock brought by it made everyone unable to recover for a long time.

At night, the palace, the imperial study.

Emperor Xia Ning looked at the daughter he loved the most and asked, "Wushuang, you should know how much trouble this will cause, right? If you do this, it will affect your future succession."

Emperor Xia Ning witnessed the birth of Xia Wushuang. The miraculous sight made him believe that this child will create a real prosperous world in the future, and her achievements will be comparable to that of Xia Zu and the First Emperor. Therefore, Emperor Xia Ning did not hesitate to hide her true gender, but also pushed her to the position of the prince.

The fifteen-year-old girl was wearing a black four-clawed python robe, and her delicate facial features were full of indifference, and said, "I don't want to be this emperor anyway. Father, you should know that you won't be able to hide these things for long."

"And this news is inevitable. Instead of continuing to hide it, it is better to admit it generously. Father, just abolish me and pass the position to the third brother. I think he wants it very much. "

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Ning was stunned for a moment, then he showed a doting and helpless smile, and said, "You girl, this is the position of the co-owner of the world, you actually said to let it go."

"Royal Father, you have been sitting in this position for more than ten hours at a time, and you don't even have time to go out to play every year." Xia Wushuang fiddled with his black hair, his tone still full of indifference.

"If this is the emperor's daily life, let me continue to live like this, I will go crazy. Moreover, the third brother of the father and the emperor is also very qualified. He is smart and clever, and it is not impossible for him to inherit the throne."

Emperor Xia Ning shook his head and said, "San'er is indeed smart, but he is too small to be an emperor."

Emperor Xia Ning has a total of nine children so far, of which eight are daughters and only one is a son. Normally, the only son was the absolute candidate to inherit the throne, but with a saint like the eldest daughter standing in front of him, he was destined to fail to become emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Xia Ning changed his voice and said, "Wushuang, I know that you are free and easy by nature and like to be free. But you must take the throne, and this is for your own good."

Xia Wushuang asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Emperor Xia Ning replied, "Because if you don't take this position, after your father's death in the future, you will be scrambled by various forces due to your particularity, and you will become a political victim."

Then Emperor Xia Ning showed a mysterious smile.

"And once you lose your status as a prince, then you won't have the right to prevent your father from making a marriage contract for Xue Er and the others. After all, they are all so old, it's time to find a good consort for them."

Xia Wushuang's expression became a little embarrassed, and he asked, "Father, you all know?"

"Humph!" Emperor Xia Ning glared at his eldest daughter and said, "Just your little tricks, you think you can hide from your father and me. It's just that you have a special orientation, even your own sister. None of them let go.”

Xia Wushuang said quickly: "Father, please listen to my sophistry, bah! Listen to my explanation, things are not what you imagined."

"Okay, no need to explain." Emperor Xia Ning waved his hand and said: "I don't want to deal with this kind of thing, but you have to promise me to inherit this throne. This throne may be a cage for you, but only Having this position allows you to continue doing what you want to do.”

After struggling for a few seconds, Xia Wushuang nodded with a serious expression and said, "I understand, Father."

Seeing that the eldest daughter was finally willing to inherit this position, Emperor Xia Ning showed a relieved smile and said: "Very good, then you can no longer eat, drink and play like you used to, give me a good study of the way to govern the country. As for the outsiders. You don't have to worry about it, I will find a way to solve it."

In the year 1233 of the Great Xia calendar, Emperor Xia Ning was overworked in the early days, his body was gradually unable to cope with the heavy tasks, and even fell ill every once in a while.

So Emperor Xia Ning handed over part to the prince. This decision sparked protests from the ministers in the court. The emperor let a woman be the prince all the time, which has already made the family very dissatisfied.

Now let the prince handle government affairs directly, doesn't it make it clear that he wants the prince to succeed him? Could it be that the sage wants a woman to become the emperor, this is too unreasonable!

The news of the crown prince's regency once again spread to the people at an incredible speed, but for ordinary people, it was just gossip after tea and did not cause much disturbance. After all, for ordinary people, life is so good now, and whoever is the emperor is the same. Moreover, the prince is a saint who descended from heaven, and can bless the summer with good weather, even if he is a woman?

When the news reached the ears of aristocratic clansmen and intellectuals, everyone was extremely resistant to a woman becoming emperor. No matter how special she is, she is still only a daughter and can never become an emperor.

However, these aristocratic families are only dissatisfied at most, and they only dare to fight verbally, and dare not take practical actions. After all, it is a prosperous world now, and the emperor holds the military power and the hearts of the people.

On August 15, 1233 of the Great Xia calendar, Emperor Xia Ning abdicated and the Empress of Great Xia ascended the throne.

In the next ten years, the Empress began to carry out various reforms. On the basis of Emperor Xia Ning's official selection test, the Empress created the imperial examination system, established a large number of official schools in various counties and counties, and gave ordinary people a channel to acquire knowledge. A large number of civilians have ascending channels, and the class begins to flow.

The emergence of the imperial examination system completely broke the aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge. During the period, the aristocratic clansmen also resisted, but it did not cause much confusion and was soon suppressed. There are two main reasons for this. An Empress has a very high prestige among the people, and most of the common people treat the Empress as a god. They hope that these days of good weather will continue.

Second, in this prosperous world where most people can have enough food and clothing, no one will rebel.

In the year 1237 of the Daxia calendar, the Empress had been on the throne for seven years. Under the reform of the Empress, Daxia was unprecedentedly developed in terms of agricultural technology and economy. Under the strong logistical support, the army swept the surrounding forces.

Even the western nomads who have been harassing the border have been beaten to the point where they dare not approach the Daxia border. In recent years, the border area has never been more stable.

In the same year, a sensation occurred in the entire Great Xia, and the scope of this incident even covered all the countries around the Great Xia, even to the Western Continent.

The Great Xia Empress chooses a concubine!

Everyone was instantly excited, do they have the chance to become princes? ! Have a glimpse of the figure of the peerless queen? !

However, after reading the announcement clearly, everyone was dumbfounded. The concubine of the Great Xia Empress is the same as before, choosing the most beautiful woman in the world and entering the palace to serve the sage. However, nowadays the saint is a daughter, shouldn't the concubine choose a man? !

On this day, all the men in Daxia felt that they had lost their dreams in life, and that the world was full of malice towards them.

Although the Great Xia Empress is a daughter, the number of people who signed up for the concubine not only did not decrease, but it was terrifyingly large. All unmarried women wanted to be the concubines of the Great Xia Empress.

The biggest change brought by the Daxia Empress's ascension to the society is that it has greatly improved the environment in which men are superior to women. Daxia women no longer have to stay at home and teach their children as before. A woman's lack of talent is a virtue, and it is a direct result. A complete joke.

Although it is said that the status of women has not yet been achieved and is completely equal to that of men, it has already achieved relative equality. Women can go to school, do business, work, and even hold office.

This kind of change made women in this era very much admire the Empress of Great Xia. If they could get closer to the Empress, even becoming the Empress' concubine would not be unacceptable, and even had a little expectation.

In the following decades, under the leadership of the Empress, Daxia reached unprecedented levels in economic, agricultural, and military fields.

In 1240 of the Great Xia calendar, the iron hoofs of the Great Xia army trod down the western prairie, swept away the nomadic people living here, and gained a lot of fertile land.

In the year 1245 of the Daxia calendar, Daxia gradually encroached on the territories of all the surrounding countries. These countries retreated again and again, and finally were completely eroded and brought in.

In the year 1250 of the Daxia calendar, Daxia's army hit the Western Continent all the way, swept away many countries in the Western Continent. However, because it was too far away from Daxia, it did not rule.

During this period, Daxia's prestige spread throughout the eastern and western continents, and almost all powerful countries in the world were hammered by the Daxia army. Daxia established the number one position in the world, and the title of Daxiachao appeared during this period.

The terror of the Daxia army also made people all over the world yearn for Daxia. Countries began to send a large number of envoys to Daxia to learn Daxia's culture and knowledge.

In the beautiful peach garden, three men with different temperaments were sitting in the pavilion. At this time, all of them had recovered from the memories of the Great Xia Empress.

At this time, Xia Zu's expression was a little pale, and it was obvious that he saw something extremely terrifying.

Xia Yang's expression was fairly normal, he shook his head and laughed at himself: "This may be the legendary Long Aotian, no, it should be Feng Aotian."

The experience of the Great Xia Empress was really smooth and unbelievably smooth. It's just like the legendary king's arrogance came out, and talents from all walks of life came to vote.

"The starting point is more than ten times higher than our two sub-personalities, and the system is stronger than ours. Even I am a little jealous."

Empress Daxia's system is a favor system. You can get points through some trivial tasks, such as helping others to pour a glass of water, or helping others get something. These points can increase the favor of others.

The system of the Great Xia Empress is like the strategy of some love games. As long as you get along with someone for a while, you will start the person's strategy journey. Each time you complete a task, you will get a specific point, so you can get the person's point and amplify the corresponding emotion.

The system can add a lot of emotions, such as family, friendship, love, loyalty...

If this system is placed on a man's body as a proper harem system, it can capture all kinds of beauties and enjoy the blessings of everyone. However, judging from the current situation, even if it is placed on the Empress, it is still a harem system. Relying on this system, the Empress has smashed many women, even her own sisters.

If this kind of thing is put on a man, it will be downright scum, beast, and beast. But on a woman, things don't seem to be that bad. Although they are abnormal, they have not reached the level of beasts.

The old Shuangbiao is too cold...cough, cough, it's so enviable...cough, it's so perverted, even my own sister is not spared.

Xia Xuan took a sip of tea and sighed: "But the empress really knows how to play, more than the two of you. I have always heard of Ye Yu Bainu and Qiannu, but I didn't expect that someone would actually do it. When it arrives, the Empress can really play."

According to rough statistics, Empress Daxia had nearly 4,000 concubines in all, of various types, at least dozens of them slept together every night, and most of the time there were hundreds of concubines, and the old man approved one .

If she was a man, all three of them doubted whether this guy would die on a woman's belly.

"On the other hand, you are afraid of women and cold."

Xia Yang shook his head and said, "It's just a desire in the flesh, the pleasure of the flesh, what's the nostalgia for it."

Xia Xuan asked curiously, "But you seem to have a lot of concubines in your memory. There should be hundreds of them?"

"Most of those are the wives and daughters of the city lords that I destroyed. Although I took them all into the palace, I have never touched most of them." Xia Yang's stern face did not change in the slightest.

Xia Xuan asked amusingly, "Aren't you afraid of being green?"

Xia Yang shook his head and said: "They all live in the deep palace, and even eunuchs are difficult to meet. And the maids who take care of them will monitor them, and there is only one fate for them, that is, they will grow old in the deep palace, forever and ever. There is no daylight."

Xia Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth, not wanting to continue to deal with this arrogant child. If you have good intentions in your heart and want to protect them, you can say it outright, and stubbornly portray yourself as a tyrant.

At this moment, the three of them turned to look at the entrance of Peach Blossom Spring at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, a graceful woman walked in from outside. The woman was wearing a black dragon robe, her hair spread out like a waterfall, her facial features were as delicate as a person walking out of a painting, and she carried an imperial temperament of being the only one on her body.

The woman just stood there quietly for a moment. The beautiful peach trees around her seemed to be a foil, and everything seemed eclipsed in front of this woman.

Among the women Xia Xuan had met, the only one who could be compared to this woman was the goddess of knowledge when she was not speaking.

The beautiful woman walked into the pavilion step by step, her eyes like jewels looked at the three men in front of her, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she said, "How are you?"
