In fact, the ministers who pretended to be sick agreed to let their wives discuss politics with the queen for them at first, firstly, because they did not want to lose their official positions, and secondly, because they were laughing at the queen's move. The perception that women are incompetent and useless has long been ingrained in their hearts, and they all feel that the queen let these women with long hair and short knowledge participate in politics, which is purely her own lifting a stone to hit her own feet.

Women are used to give birth to children and do housework, at most, let them take care of the trivial things in the back house, and expect them to govern the country, hehe! They waited to see these women and Taoists make a mess of the government, and then the anxious Empress Zhou came again to invite them to go out of the mountain to clean up the mess.

They even made bets that the cabinet would last a few days at most before it broke up, some said three days, some said five days, and the longest was only ten days. In their opinion, those women fight all day long in the back house for little things, don't they have to fight more happily when discussing politics? It must be more exciting than their men's infighting, two women are equal to five hundred ducks, and three women are another play, so many women get together, tsk!

Thinking about it this way, they even regretted that they couldn't go to the Qinzheng Hall to see the thousands of ducks arguing together, chickens and dogs jumping. I can only ask them about the affairs of the DPRK and China every night when my wife is shy and timid, and I ask them about the affairs of the DPRK and China with a flattering face, my heart is secretly refreshed, and I point out the world to talk about it and then demean the women to uselessness, and at the end I will always say "In a few days, you will have to continue to come back with your tail between your legs." "Let's wrap it up.

However, five days have passed, ten days have passed, and seeing that a month is almost over, the cabinet under the leadership of Empress Zhou has not only not collapsed, but has become more and more prosperous. Those cabinet ladies were radiant every morning, and they rushed to the palace in high spirits, and I heard that even many of the wives and grandmothers of the Xungui family had entered the cabinet to help with affairs.

Their own wives will no longer humbly ask them for advice now, but instead excitedly boast to them that the previous child's mention in the court was not only praised by the queen's mother, but after the implementation, the people also applauded, and yesterday I thought about it all night, and this morning I proposed a few good ways to open up sources and reduce expenditures and increase the treasury tax, and it turned out that the things in the court are not difficult and so on......

If they try to demean a sentence or two as usual, they will immediately be ridiculed, "What the master can do, I can do the same now!" But what I did before, will the master do? "Master, this is seeing that I earn more money per month than my lord, and I am not angry, right?"

Every time they choke, not only can they no longer eat dinner, but they can't even sleep well, can they rest easy in such a severe situation?

It can't go on like this, the strong sense of crisis makes these ministers who pretend to be sick feel that they can't continue to be so indifferent to the world, it seems that they really underestimate these women, I didn't expect them to have such ability, and they just survived, if they "lie" on the hospital bed for another month, this court can't all be occupied by a group of women's army? Will there still be a place for their men then?

It's a pity that when their minds turned around and hurriedly handed over the fold to say that they were well and wanted to come back and continue to do their best for the court, it was too late. The imperial doctor sent to their mansion by Queen Zhou was not sent for nothing, and suddenly jumped out and said that their bodies had not yet been repaired. This Shangshu is a void fire, and the squire is liver depression and qi stagnation, one by one is either qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency, kidney deficiency, or heart and blood deficiency, liver and yang hyperactivity, which was easy to raise before, and must not bother to work hard, otherwise it will be seriously ill, and there will be life worries within a few months.

Previously, they deliberately pretended to be sick and did not go to court in order to pinch Queen Zhou, but now when they want to go to court, the queen mother said that you are not well yet, continue to lie down! Isn't this a clear indication that you don't want them to take back their powers?

What made them hold their breath the most was that when their wife heard what the imperial doctor said, she quickly pressed them on the bed again, and said non-stoply: "Oh, this body is important, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" The master is the backbone of our family, without you, who can we rely on! I also beg the lord to take care of himself, just eat and sleep well and recuperate, I have to carry the affairs of the court! Just rest assured! ”

Can this put them at ease? These women have only been cabinet wives for a few days, and they are no longer as deferential and obedient as in the past, if they are allowed to manage state affairs for a few more days, let alone be on an equal footing with them in the future, I am afraid that they will ride on their heads and go to the house to uncover the tiles?

So, in order to regain the right to return to the court, the minister who had been sick at home before launched an arduous struggle with the queen's mother, and kept handing folds to the palace every day, and everyone joined hands to write a book or something. Finally, after several months of persistent pleading, the queen finally raised her jade hand and allowed the courtiers to return to the court to discuss and govern.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief when they returned to the yamen, they found out sadly and angrily that although the queen allowed them to return to the court, the real power was still in the hands of that group of cabinet ladies. Also, can this mouthful of fat people take the initiative to spit it out? They can't do it either!

They hurriedly put down their pen and handed over a letter of advice, asking the queen to withdraw from the cabinet, saying that since they had returned to their positions, the queen could listen to the government in the future, and discuss state affairs with them, and their wives and wives were still busy with family affairs, and it was not appropriate to interfere in the government and politics.

However, no matter how many reasons they listed, they couldn't match the few words of Queen Zhou's smile: "Your Majesty sent me a letter yesterday, saying that my cabinet discussion method is excellent, and he has long regretted letting me listen to politics." You know, my majesty...... Well, I like to be jealous the most on weekdays, but now that others are in Shudi, they still have to take care of me, and I am most happy that I stay with women all day long, and it seems that I have to work hard for my wife to continue to help me in the cabinet. As for the family affairs of your house, the ladies have already told me that they have daughters-in-law or daughters to help with the cooking, and it doesn't take much time for them. ”

A group of male ministers regretted it, they must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey, so they came up with this "clever plan" to pretend to be sick, they didn't expect that the queen was a powerful character this week, but they were defeated and retreated. It's also that they are too light on the enemy, they should have thought of what kind of horse with what saddle, a demon like Qin Fei, can he be a good stubble who can subdue him?

Now it's too late for them to regret it, it's really a wrong step, a wrong step, so they have to watch Queen Zhou send out a recruitment list again, recruit a group of men and women from the people who are said to be very good at doing practical things, and form a political body, called the House of Commons. From then on, all the government affairs were handed over to the House of Commons, the six ministries, and the cabinet for consultation, and the results of the discussion were reported to the queen before the case, and the queen chose the best of them, or used them in combination with the method of the three parties.

Since Cai Wei used this method of separation of powers, it is very easy, and she no longer has to work alone like before. After taking care of state affairs every day, she can still have spare time to help Zou Qing with her mess. Not only did she write a few storybooks by herself, but she also found a group of writers for Zou Qing that she is most lacking now.

It will take at least a few years for the girls in the An Nutang to be able to read and write, and to write poems and essays, and it will take some time for the daughters of the eunuchs who are already literate and hyphenated to write women-oriented novels at once, and these two groups can only serve as reserve envoys. As for the pioneers who took the lead, Cai Wei thought of other people, although such people did not have a good reputation in the eyes of most people in the world, and thought that they were lowly and willing to degenerate.

But in Cai Wei's view, more people in this category are forced by fate, and they are involuntarily sold into the Qinglou. Although they have entered the lowly nationality and are doing the business of welcoming and sending them every day, there has always been no shortage of talented women with excellent talents and poetry, and they are often chivalrous. Compared with the ladies who don't go out of the door all day long, they know more folk anecdotes, and even they themselves are the protagonists of those touching stories many times, have experienced all kinds of joys and sorrows, and know all kinds of bitterness and suffering suffered by women in this world. In this regard, they feel deeply unjust, and they struggle but it is always difficult to get rid of the injustice of fate, if they can have a chance, through the pen of words, with the meaning of the text, what kind of stories will be born in their pen?

Cai Wei first found Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun, who had some friendship with her. The two of them were dissatisfied with the lover they married was a spineless soft-footed shrimp, and before the Tartar came, all kinds of impassioned efforts to protect the family and defend the country, and even sacrificed their lives for the country, but when the Tartar really came, the two men had already put the agreement of the husband and wife committing suicide and martyrdom to the back of their minds, and successively lowered the Jin people, and even gave advice to the Jin people. Annoyed, Liu and Li simply ran away from home, preferring to live in a nunnery rather than join them again.

After they were found by Cai Wei and quietly taken into the palace, they were moved and devoted to what Cai Wei and others did to save the girl, help the girl, and wake up the girl. Not only did he write hard every day, write articles, but also recommended a handful of old sisters to Cai Wei, such as Dong Xiaowan, who was ruthlessly abandoned by her husband on the way to escape, Kou Mei, who is known as a heroine, and Ma Xianglan, who is good at painting orchid bamboo, and other famous female branches of Qinhuai. With the help of these women, one by one, the small talk books and operas that are mainly women's voices for women have come out, Cai Wei paid out of her own pocket, while publishing a large number of them and sending them to those official ladies to read, and on the other hand, she found some folk artists to let them tell those stories or tell them to comment on them, or act them into dramas, and changed their ways to let more women slowly wake up from thousands of years of brainwashing of husband and male power through these literary operas, so that they gradually realize that women are not inferior to men, in addition to marrying and having children, good wives and good mothers, They can also have a different life, but they don't have to pin all their future, fate, sorrows, joys and joys on men.

She also rehabilitated Li Zhen, vigorously advocated his doctrine and thoughts, published the works of him, Mr. Yangming and the hundreds of schools of thought, and gave each courtier a set for them to study and study.

Those officials of the six ministries who believed in the unification of Confucianism were naturally extremely dissatisfied with this, and they were even more indignant, and their power was divided into two-thirds in this way, so a few leaders secretly wrote a secret fold to Emperor Yuanjia who was far away in Sichuan, and wrote more than a dozen pages of paper about the various perverse acts of Empress Zhou in their eyes, and as a result, the emperor threw the fold back without even looking at it, and took off the black gauze hat of the person who wrote the secret fold. And sent an edict again, solemnly admonishing the courtiers of the six departments, saying that since he had entrusted the affairs of the state to the empress, the affairs of the court would be left to the queen's decision. Not only will he not interfere, but he will not allow anyone to skip the level and beat him to the queen's small report, if someone violates his taboo next time, it will not be the black gauze hat he wears, but the head on his neck!

With the support of Emperor Yuanjia, and the military power of the entire Jiangnan is all in the hands of the queen, the guard general stationed in Jinling is not only a woman, but also a good sister who has shared life and death with the queen and has a good friendship, so that they can't make trouble even if they think of the rebellion. For fear that if the trouble continues, they will not even be able to keep the one-third of the authority at hand. They could only grit their teeth and wait, hoping that Emperor Yuanjia would drive the Tartars out as soon as possible, come back to sit in the court, and revitalize the Qiangang.

They waited for a whole decade.

Emperor Qin Fei of Yuanjia fought on horseback for ten years before finally exchanging a peaceful world for the people of Li in Daqin, and if there was no his queen Zhou Caiwei in the rear to lead the government for him, the Great Qin governance of the country is rich and the people are strong, and the treasury is rich, and it has become a solid backing for Emperor Yuanjia in terms of comprehensive national strength, and he has continuously transported grain and grass and armaments to the front, even if he is familiar with the art of war and makes good use of strange soldiers, he will not be able to recover the country and repel foreign enemies in only ten years, I am afraid that it will take another decade or two more years.

At this point, even those ministers who were full of complaints about Empress Zhou had to admit that the new policy implemented by Empress Zhou did change the previous decline in national strength of Great Qin, and relying solely on the various colors of silk and silk silk spun by women, which were transported to the Western and Eastern countries by fleet, they could earn back millions of taels of real money and silver, enough for the national treasury to spend for a year, and there was no need to collect agricultural taxes.

In the first two years, Daqin still needed to use some silk porcelain to exchange some grain from overseas, but when a female captain Shen Yunying tried her best to bring back some crop seeds from overseas countries back to China and planted them extensively, not only did the people of Daqin have more vegetables and fruits to eat on their tables, but the most important thing was that after having sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, which are easy to grow and have extremely high yields, the people no longer have to worry about having nothing to eat and famine.

The abundance of food and clothing, the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people under the rule of Great Qin not only broke the fighting spirit of the Jin people, but also shook the military spirit and public opinion of the Han people who were ruled by the Jin people in the other half of the country. If it weren't for these hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops, Qin Fei would not have made any more military progress in the first three years except for the recapture of Chang'an.

In fact, Qin Fei didn't mind killing all these traitors who had lowered their gold, but he only killed a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred, he didn't care about the lives of the traitors, but he was reluctant to let his soldiers lose their precious lives in order to kill a bunch of miscellaneous people. Therefore, after he recaptured Chang'an in the first year, he just blindly bluffed, but in fact, he wanted to wait for the Great Qin to become strong and surrender without a fight.

Sure enough, as time passed, the Han people under the rule of the Jin people became more and more aware of the pain of being enslaved by foreign people, their land was occupied by the Jin people, and they changed from good citizens to slaves with no land and no wealth, and they were never free again, while the people who were still under the rule of the Great Qin were rich in food and clothing, and their wealth was rolling. More and more Han people in the north began to try their best to escape to the territory of Great Qin in the south, and later, those Han soldiers who had surrendered to the Jin people also fell to the stronger side of the wind, and they changed their ways and threw themselves back into the arms of Great Qin.

Without those hundreds of thousands of troops, there were only a few people in the Jin people, not to mention that he lost the hearts of the people, the Tartar Emperor knew that he had no hope of holding Yanjing anymore, but he was unwilling to be driven back to his hometown outside the Guanwai like this, so he did not hesitate to lure the wolf into the house, and took the initiative to recruit the Eros people in the north of Daqin, willing to help them destroy Daqin. The Erros people were also ruthless, knowing that the Western Ya Kingdom was jealous and extremely dissatisfied with the expansion of Great Qin's power at sea, so they sent a letter to the Western Ya Kingdom, asking them to send a navy to besiege Great Qin from the sea again, thinking of one land and one sea, and swallowing the fat of Great Qin with the strength of their three kingdoms.

It was also because of the participation of two more countries that Qin Fei spent a few more years, he chased the Erros people on the land and beat them vigorously, although the Erros people also had muskets, but where could they compare to the various new muskets and artillery newly developed by Great Qin in recent years, which not only drove the Erros people back to their hometown in one go, but also drove the remaining Jin people to the shore of the Dead Sea, and took all the places outside the border where they had lived for hundreds of years, realizing the Haikou that he had boasted about Cai Wei.

The people of Xiya, who attacked from the sea, although they were violent, dispatched all the largest and best warships in the country, known as the "Invincible Armada", but they were defeated by countless mobile and flexible boats full of mines sent out by Daqin.

After this battle, not only the female captain Shen Yunying, who commanded the plenipotentiary, became famous in the first battle, but also established the status of the hegemon of the Great Qin Sea in the future.

When the smoke of gunpowder and the flames of war had subsided, Qin Fei had just forced the Erros people to sign the treaty of land cession and reparation, so he flew on his horse and galloped towards Chang'an like an arrow. He had already discussed with Cai Wei that once the world was pacified, he would never make Yanjing the imperial capital again, and planned to re-establish Chang'an, the capital of the Western Qin Dynasty, as the imperial capital.

So in the past ten years, he was not only busy fighting, but also busy building houses, he rebuilt a new imperial capital according to the appearance of Chang'an in the Western Qin Dynasty, in the center of that imperial city, is the love nest he carefully built for himself and his beloved wife, only a palace belonging to the two of them - Daming Palace -

And he thought about it in his heart, and he couldn't wait to see his wife who would be able to see him immediately, and he had already set off for Chang'an half a month before him.

Cai Wei originally wanted to arrive in Chang'an earlier, and arrange everything in order to welcome her husband who had been fighting in the cold outside the gate for more than half a year to go home, yes, go home, from then on, their husband and wife finally no longer have to be separated, the two places are lovesick, and they can enjoy the joy and happiness of reunion.

Seeing that she could already see the tall and majestic city walls of Chang'an City from afar, Cai Wei suddenly felt excited, and was thinking about the world in the spacious chariot, when she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near in her ears, like a dense drum beat.

She heard the palace maid outside shouting something in a panic.

What are they shouting?

"The emperor has arrived?"

Cai Wei felt that she must have heard it wrong, Qin Fei had just set off when she was still half the way away from Chang'an, he was much farther away from Chang'an than herself, how could he rush to Chang'an before her?

The sound of horses' hooves outside the car suddenly stopped, and in the next second, at the curtain of the car, a figure rushed in like a rabbit, and directly pounced on her and hugged her.
