Chapter 244: Unify the Central Plains

"Magnificent my dynasty, the treasure of the world, the outstanding people, the splendid rivers and mountains, the vast Central Plains ......"

Emperor Guangen Chu Zihou listened to the sacrificial astronomy recited by the priest Si Lang, and at the same time looked calmly at the solemn altar full of sacred meaning, he finally had a feeling that the world was in his hands.

He walked slowly up the stone steps, but it was clear in his heart that there was a gentle gaze watching him from behind him.

That was the eyes of the woman he loved most in his life, Queen Shen Xizhen of Jiayi.

A sweet smile crossed his lips.

Standing at the top of the altar, he turned to look at Shen Xizhen, and when he saw that she was also looking at him, his heart was suddenly full of tenderness.

He cast his gaze farther away, but no matter how far away, even where he couldn't see, it was now his territory, and the entire Central Plains was already under his jurisdiction.

He suddenly understood that the reason why people are successful is to have the spirit of never giving up.

The drum music sounded, the southeast side of the mound altar began to burn calves, and the southwest side hung sky lanterns, and for a time the smoke lingered, adding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere to the entire mound altar.

Welcome the emperor god, lay the jade silk, enter the ceremony, the beginning of the gift, the line of the sub-gift, the end of the gift, the withdrawal of food, send the emperor god, Wangliao, after a series of ceremonies are completed, the Guangen Emperor drove back to the palace.

After returning to the Zichen Palace, Emperor Guangen took Shen Xizhen's hand and said, "Empress, now that we have finally unified the Central Plains, we are about to start concentrating power, so I want to reorganize the members of the cabinet and double the number of think tanks, what do you think?" ”

Shen Xizhen nodded again and again: "The concubine also means this. In addition, the concubine felt that there were several very important things that we needed to do. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Guangen looked at her with interest, he knew that she must have something to mention again.

"Your Majesty. The fact that the land is large does not mean that the country is really strong, do you see that the tribute country was not captured by us when such a big country was also conquered? Therefore, the concubine felt that a truly powerful country was because everyone from the king to the subjects had a strong heart. After having a strong heart, if it can have a strong soul -- the national spirit, such a country can be regarded as truly strong. ”

Emperor Guangen's face was filled with a little approval, and he was very emotional, he admired her for not being carried away by victory when she won the victory, and she was able to see the essence through the appearance. And can keenly see the existing problems in the Xi Kingdom.

"That's true, so what does the queen think is better?" Emperor Guangen looked at her with a gentle expression, and reached out to hold her slender jade hand tightly. Slowly leaned over and kissed her spring-like fingers.

Just his gentle kiss was like a stream of electricity reaching her body, she trembled slightly, but she felt his love and pity for herself, she smiled and said, "First of all, we need to add more schools." Strengthen education in the suzhì. Only in this way can we truly improve the quality of the whole people, and then we can improve the ideological level of the whole country. Secondly, we can start with the coastal areas to build a large economic province so that it can slowly drive the economy. Third, we should set up clean and honest departments in all districts to vigorously crack down on and resist corruption. Fourth, we should establish weapons research and development centers and strive to develop the most advanced and offensive weapons. The leader of this center is none other than the emperor. ”

"Mm-hmm, speaking of developing weapons. How can you be missing the queen, most of the advanced weapons used by the Xi Kingdom now are from your hands! Emperor Guangen did not hesitate to praise her abilities.

"The concubine is also very happy to be the leader of the weapons research and development center." Shen Xizhen said with a smile.

Emperor Guangen gently pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Empress, I feel very happy, recently I have woken up in full happiness every day, I now have both the country and you, and I feel that the best life is nothing more than that." ”

Such a naked praise made Shen Xizhen couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, she hurriedly hugged his waist and said: "Yes, the concubines are the same as the emperor, and they feel very happy every day now, I really hope we can be so happy forever." ”

Emperor Guangen smiled and kissed her face, and said affectionately and affirmatively: "We will definitely be able to be so happy forever!" ”

……………….

The next day, Emperor Guang'en ordered the expansion of the school, the establishment of a major economic province, a clean and honest department, and a weapons research and development center.

Such a targeted construction made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty secretly surprised.

"This is the building that the queen proposed." Emperor Guangen said with a smile.

Now as long as he mentions the queen, his eyes are full of reverence, and he hopes that the people of Xi Kingdom can deeply remember her, remember her contributions to Xi Kingdom, love her, and respect her.

And every time after retiring from the dynasty, he always went to Kunyi Palace for the first time to see the queen, and talked with her about state affairs, chanted poems and paintings, and played piano and chess.

Every night, she was the only one who was favored in his arms.

So her gestures are becoming more and more charming.

"Looking at the world, I'm afraid there are few emperors who can be as affectionate as him!" Someone sighed.

It is precisely because Emperor Guangen only has Shen Xizhen alone in his eyes and heart, so he doesn't have to spend too much energy to deal with Hou . palace affairs, and Shen Xizhen doesn't have to be the queen. Gong Jiali's competition for favor hurts her spirit, so she can also spend most of her time helping Emperor Guangen deal with political affairs, so every time Xi Guo needs to deal with something, it can be solved quickly, unlike the procrastination of the first emperor and even delayed many important matters.

Nowadays, not only can the big and small matters of Xi Country be dealt with in a timely manner, but many things can also be prevented in advance. Everyone knows very well that this is because the queen is proficient in occult arts.

Therefore, everyone felt that they were born in the best of times because they had kings and queens who were impeccable to be good.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

That night, the queen dreamed of a green snake with a human head and a snake body, and it kept staring at her, but did not say a word.

When she woke up, she vaguely felt that this was an omen, so her heart suddenly rose on guard.

She gently left the warm embrace of Emperor Guang'en, got up in her clothes, and sat in the center of the room to concentrate on cultivation.

She was concentrating on cultivation when she overheard Gonggong Zhang report outside the door: "Emperor, queen, there is a flying woman in the palace, not only invulnerable, but also invisible from time to time, and three hundred guards can't catch her." ”

Sure enough, there are such characters!

Shen Xizhen immediately opened his eyes. (To be continued......)
