498 Epilogue (2 Destiny)

The emperor's funeral was a national event. After the small burial, the Zigong stopped in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and set up the mourning hall of the Daxing Emperor for people to pay tribute.

There are two coffins on the mourning hall now, the slightly smaller one is the coffin of Wang Guifei, as long as the people who come to pay tribute must bring it together to pay tribute to Wang Guifei.

Some nobles and their families were disgusted by this, but they had to go to worship every day.

Because on the first day, when Wang Guifei's coffin was found with the emperor, a super lady immediately objected, thinking that it violated the ancestral system.

Liansheng was presiding over the sacrificial ceremony in the hall at that time, and when he heard that the lady refused to worship, he stepped forward to persuade him, but he didn't expect that the lady immediately said that you are not the crown princess or the queen, and it is also against the ancestral system to preside over the sacrifice here.

Lotus is on fire, and his heart is really a toast and he doesn't eat and drink. directly ordered someone to send that lady out, whether it was the emperor of Daxing or the concubine, she didn't need her to worship.

Before the lady arrived, the decree had arrived: the lady's husband and son had been dismissed and investigated for crimes such as dereliction of honor, and the lady herself had been taken away from her seal.

What does it mean to be vigorous and resolute? No one dares to question it, the new emperor is not as cowardly as the old emperor, and he is ruthless. Although he needs to keep filial piety and cannot get married for the time being, Liansheng has already mastered all the rights in the palace.

Immediately after the new emperor ascended the throne, Yu Shizhao demanded that everything be simple on the grounds of excessive grief and that the country and the war were not suitable for big affairs, and did not even recall Wang Heng and others who were fighting on the coastal front, asking them to take the Wa State in one go.

The Wa Kingdom was beaten with a dirty face when he touched porcelain this time. I wanted to come to the capital to celebrate when the new emperor of Dashun ascended the throne, and test the tone of Dashun, but Yu Shizhao directly refused on the grounds that the two countries were at war. He is such a person, completely ignoring the face of the other party, telling everyone with a resolute posture that this battle must be fought, and it must be won!

Everything in Dashun continued in an orderly manner, and the death of an emperor and the accession of a new emperor to the throne did not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people.

The war along the coast continued, and the naval forces of the Wa Kingdom were completely lost under the combined siege of Daesun and the Korean State, and it is said that the Wa Kingdom was already in chaos. Many ministers demanded peace with the Wa Kingdom. And welcome back the prince of Oyu in the Wa Kingdom to return to China to inherit the throne.

The ministers of Dashun breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this was the first time in more than a hundred years that there had been a war with another country, even if it was the former Ming Dynasty, there were some small-scale conflicts in the middle and late stages because of the invasion of the border by the Japanese invaders, and neither country directly declared war. This war. It was initiated by the new emperor when he was the crown prince. The war can go very well. This is also a good omen for Dashun.

Soon, the new emperor promulgated the first policy since his accession to the throne, that is, the detailed rules for women's scientific examinations. Women in the world can participate in scientific examinations with men. Because it was just started to be implemented. In order to avoid the opposition and saliva of some defenders, although the women signed up for the college examination together with the men, they set up a women's examination house and sent someone to invigilate the examination separately; The female Xiucai who passed the college examination was in the same examination institute as the man when she participated in the township examination and the general examination, but the area was strictly divided to avoid the situation of men and women mixing overnight, and at the same time, female filial piety was selected as female officials nationwide for future invigilation.

As soon as this measure was promulgated, the scholars of the major academies were the first to oppose it, believing that the women's scientific examination violated the ancestral system, and some Xiucai jointly signed a letter, claiming that they refused to take the examination with women.

It is said that Master Gu flipped through them at will and said: "Since these scholars are so resolute, then do as they wish, remove their fame, and they will not have to participate in the imperial examination in this life." ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Gu Fangsheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing on the side, hoping that he could say something for him.

But listening to Master Gu, he continued to ask: "Are there more women or men studying in the world?" ”

"Naturally, there are many men."

"There are many restrictions on women in this world, what women are not talented is virtue, you also know that women who study are very rare compared to men, these scholars, in vain are seven-foot men, and they don't even have the courage to take the same exam with women, what are they afraid of? Afraid that a woman won't be able to pass the exam and be robbed of her job by a woman? This kind of small-bellied scholar is short-sighted even if he becomes an official in the future, what do I want him to do? It is better to skip the exam now and find a way out to avoid wasting resources. ”

Master Gu glanced coldly at the official of the Ministry of Rites, and the man trembled with fright: "Yes, yes, the lower official understands." ”

When this person walked out with Fang Sheng, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "The waiter won't say anything for me, I'm going to be scared to death by Master Gu." ”

Fang Sheng shook his head: "You also know that my sister is from a criminal background, and she is the most iron-faced and selfless, if I open my mouth, I am afraid that you will be trained even worse." ”

The man thought about it, and thought in his heart, this adult is really going to be the mother of the world in the future, and he has a lot of power, no wonder the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was the law of women's scientific examinations, and it must have been this person's idea, these scholars, this is kicked to the iron plate.

Soon after the promulgation of the women's imperial examination, the imperial court successively established new-style schools in Beijing and major state capitals to teach Western algorithms, such as gezhi, and even military science, fanhua department, economic department, law department, etc., to recruit talents and encourage young people to apply for the examination. Because these new-style schools are personally responsible for Gu Liansheng, no one in the state capitals dares to be perfunctory, and they all treat it as a major event, and Xu Yan, Li Qingqing, Zuo Nan and others around Liansheng are all dispatched to the grassroots level to be responsible for the planning and establishment of the new-style school. Moreover, according to the news from the Ministry of Rites, the new emperor is planning to include these subjects in the imperial examination in the future, and admit officials according to their grades and the subjects they are good at.

For a time, the weather of Dashun was new, many young people with skills have signed up to take the new style school, and even the descendants of Jianwen courtiers who crossed the sea to Southeast Asia to avoid persecution in the pre-Ming period, heard that Dashun promulgated a new policy, many people thought that they had advantages in language and some skills, and could come to Dashun to be teachers of the new school, so they returned to China, and even some descendants of Chinese in the U Kingdom also saw that Dashun was strong and determined to return to China to serve.

Under the joint attack of Dashun and Joseon, the Wa Kingdom finally raised its flag and surrendered, and sent a new mission to the capital of Dashun to sign the surrender document and welcome Oyu back to Japan to inherit the throne.

"I can't give up on you, Liansheng!"

Before Prince Dayu returned to China, he pulled Lord Gu and cried a lot.

The new emperor's face darkened, and he really wanted to step forward and knock him out.

Da Yu then shouted: "If you eat Suihou Zhu, then you have to be responsible for me, if there is anything wrong with me going back, you must send someone to save me." ”

When the envoy next to him heard this, his face was embarrassed. The surrounding Dashun officials all looked at Lord Gu, and the officials of Qin Tianjian knelt down directly and said to the new emperor: "It turns out that Lord Gu got Suihou Zhu, which is a treasure alongside the Heshi Bi, since it is obtained for our country This is the will of heaven, Lord Gu is really a man of destiny!" ”

"Destiny! O man of destiny! ”

Several ministers shouted along.

The new emperor nodded, gently put his arm around Liansheng's shoulders and said, "Of course I know, she is my destiny. (To be continued.) )

PS: This is the end, Liansheng has to do a lot of things in Dashun. Because of the death of the old emperor, Liansheng and Yu Shizhao will not get married immediately. She still has a lot to do, and whether she gets married or not is not very important to her, the two of them have always been together to keep warm, and they will always go on with each other.

The Shun Dynasty in another space will enter a better track, at least in more than a hundred years, the people of this land will not be devastated by the invasion of the Japanese Kingdom, and there will be no more human tragedies.

The new style of learning is gradually established, and the Chinese who have mastered the new knowledge will no longer be opened by the strong ships and cannons.

A butterfly from the modern era flapped its wings in the direction of another dimension, and since then it has influenced the history of the next hundred years.

And then there's some extras.

Merry Christmas.

Christmas is not a holiday for us Chinese, but in this era, as long as the joy of life is a holiday every day, then why not use some holiday fun and a little?
