Chapter 226: The Old Lustful Empress

On August 14, 1215 in the Great Xia calendar, it had been raining heavily for four consecutive days in half of the Great Xia, and this heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, and the water level of the rivers rose rapidly. Seeing that a large area of fertile land in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is about to be flooded, a famine is coming.

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

The rainstorm that was about to devastate the entire dynasty dissipated in an instant, and a beautiful rainbow appeared above the palace.

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

The news spread throughout the capital in just half a day, after all, everyone heard the bright cry of the baby, which could not be concealed even by the torrential rain. Then things began, spreading at an incredible speed, and in just one month, under the impetus of the royal family, the news instantly spread throughout Great Xia.

For a time, the entire Great Xia, from the high-ranking officials and nobles, to the small people of Jing City, were discussing this matter, and everyone thought that this was a sign of the arrival of the saint.

The birth of the legendary saint is accompanied by visions, and there are two points that can be called saints so far, namely Xia Zu, who founded the Great Xia civilization, and the first emperor who unified the world. According to legend, the birth of these two saints was accompanied by a vision, such as Xia Zu, at the moment of birth, the sun and the moon appeared in the sky at the same time, which is said to be the sun and moon shine together.

As things continued to brew, everyone began to think that this newborn baby was a saint, a saint who would be comparable to Xia Zu and the First Emperor in the future. Some people even shouted "Saints have no father, and they should come out when they feel the heavens".

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

In the next ten years, Daxia can be described as a smooth sail, with a bumper harvest every year, and the major granaries are completely full, which is called the rule of Ningsheng.

Emperor Xia Ning relied on the general trend of the sage crown prince to launch his own grand cause and implement a series of reforms. The introduction of a light and thin tax, the explicit prohibition of selling oneself to the low, all the commoners who sold themselves turned into long-term labor. Distribute relief grain on a regular basis, reduce rent and forced labor, develop agricultural production, and build water conservancy. Remove corrupt officials and strengthen the centralization of power. Officials were abolished and counties were merged.

Emperor Xia Ning even broke the monopoly of knowledge on the family to a certain extent. There are government schools in every county, so that ordinary people also have the opportunity to learn knowledge, although this opportunity is very slim, maybe the whole county can learn more than 100 people. At the same time, the official selection examination was opened, which was the prototype of the imperial examination system.

The rule of Ning Sheng: The people are rich and the country is strong, the society is stable, the court is enlightened, and in this era, ordinary people can also eat two meals a day, and there is rarely a hungry stomach. Even beggars on the side of the road, most of them died of disease, and death from starvation is rare.

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

In the year 1229 of the Great Xia calendar, the news made this calm and stable society explode, and the gossip spread that the current sage prince is actually a daughter.

This news is terrible, the wind and rain in the past ten years have been smooth, most people attribute it to the blessing of the saint, and the vast majority of commoners have set up immortal cards for the current prince. This crown prince, who has a very high prestige, is known as a saint, and is destined to inherit the unification, is actually a daughter!

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

The confirmation of the news caused a bigger turmoil, and everyone was skeptical at first, and even most people thought that this was a rumor released by a villain who didn't want to die. But now that the news is confirmed, and it is admitted by the prince himself, the shock brought by it has made everyone unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Night, Royal Palace, Imperial Study.

Emperor Xia Ning looked at his favorite daughter in front of him and asked, "Wushuang, you should know how much turmoil this will cause, right?" If you do so, it will affect your succession in the future. ”

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

The fifteen-year-old girl was wearing a black four-clawed python robe, her delicate facial features were full of indifference, and said: "Anyway, I don't want to be this emperor, and my father should know that these things can't be hidden for long." ”

And the news is inevitable, rather than continuing to hide it, it is better to admit it generously. Father, you can just abolish me, just pass on the position to the third brother, I think he wants it very much. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Ning's expression was stunned, and then he showed a smile that was both doting and helpless, and said: "You girl, this is the position of the co-master of the world, you actually said let it go." ”

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

"If this is the emperor's daily life, let me live like this forever, I will go crazy. And the qualifications of the third brother of the father and the emperor are also good, he is smart and clever, so it is not impossible for him to inherit the throne. ”

Emperor Xia Ning shook his head and said, "San'er is indeed smart, but his qi is too small and he is not suitable to be an emperor. ”

Emperor Xia Ning had a total of nine children so far, of which eight were daughters and only one was a son. Normally, this only son is the absolute candidate to inherit the throne, but with a saint like the eldest daughter standing in front of him, he is destined not to become the emperor.

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

Xia Wushuang asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Emperor Xia Ning replied: "Because if you don't sit in this position, after the death of your father in the future, with your peculiarity, you will be contested by all forces, and you will become a victim of politics." ”

Then Emperor Xia Ning showed a mysterious smile.

"And once you lose your status as the crown prince, then you will not be qualified to stop your father from making a marriage contract for Xue'er and them, after all, they are all so old, it's time to find a good colt for them."

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

"Humph!" Emperor Xia Ning glared at his eldest daughter and said, "Just your little trick, I thought I could hide it from your father and me." It's just that you have a special orientation for this dead girl, and you don't even let go of your sisters. ”

Xia Wushuang hurriedly said: "Father, you listen to my quibbles, phew! Listen to me explain that things are not what you think they are. ”

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

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

Seeing that his eldest daughter was finally willing to inherit this position, Emperor Xia Ning showed a relieved smile and said, "Very good, you can't eat, drink and have fun like before in the future, and let me learn how to govern the country." As for the outside world, you don't have to worry about it, I'll find a way to solve it. ”

In the year 1233 of the Great Xia calendar, Emperor Xia Ning was overworked in the early days, and his body gradually could not cope with heavy tasks, and even fell ill every once in a while.

So Emperor Xia Ning took the opportunity to hand over part of the matter to the crown prince, this decision sparked protests from the ministers of the court, and the emperor let a woman be the crown prince all the time, which has made the family gate valve very dissatisfied.

Now directly let the crown prince handle government affairs, isn't this clearly asking the prince to succeed to the throne? Could it be that the saint wants a woman to become the emperor, this is really unreasonable!

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

When this news reached the ears of the family and intellectuals, it was different, and everyone was extremely resistant to a woman becoming emperor. No matter how special she is, she is only a daughter after all, and she must not become an emperor.

However, these families are only dissatisfied at best, and they only dare to fight verbally, and do not dare to take actual actions. After all, it is a prosperous era now, and the emperor has military power and popular support, and they jump out to rebel, and it is very likely that they will be slapped to death by their backhands.

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

Over the next decade, the empress embarked on various reforms. On the basis of Emperor Xianning's official examination, the empress pioneered the imperial examination system, and established a large number of official schools in various counties and counties, giving ordinary civilians access to knowledge. A large number of civilians had a channel to rise, and classes began to move.

The emergence of the imperial examination system completely broke the family's monopoly on knowledge, and the family's gate lords also resisted during this period, but it did not cause much chaos and was quickly suppressed. There are two main reasons for this, the empress has a very high prestige among the people, and the vast majority of civilians regard the empress as a god, hoping that this day of good weather will continue.

Second, in this prosperous era where most people can be fed and clothed, no one will really rebel.

In 1237 of the Great Xia calendar, the empress ascended the throne for seven years, and 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 through the surrounding forces.

Even the Western nomads who have been invading the border have been beaten to the point where they dare not approach the borders of Bactria again, and the border areas have been unprecedentedly stable in recent years.

In the same year, an event occurred that caused a sensation throughout Great Xia, and the scope of this event even covered all the countries around Great Xia, up to the Western Continent.

The Empress of Great Xia chooses a concubine!

Everyone was instantly excited, could they have a chance to become a prince?! A glimpse of the peerless empress?!

However, after reading the announcement clearly, everyone was stupid. The concubine of the Empress of Great Xia was the same as before, selecting the most beautiful women in the world and entering the palace to serve the saint. However, now that the saint is a daughter, shouldn't the concubine be a man?!

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

Although the Empress of Great Xia is a daughter, the number of people who sign up for the selection of concubines has not decreased, but it is terrifying, and all unmarried women want to become the concubines of the Empress of Great Xia.

The biggest change brought to the society by the accession of the Empress of Great Xia is that the environment of male superiority and inferiority in society has been greatly improved.

Although the status of women has not yet been reached, which is completely equal to that of men, relative equality has been achieved. Women can go to school, do business, work, and even become officials.

This kind of change makes the women in this era worship the Empress of Daxia very much, if they can get closer to the Empress, even if they become the Empress's concubine, it is not unacceptable, and even a little expectation.

In the following decades, under the leadership of the empress, Bactria reached an unprecedented level in the economic, agricultural, and military fields.

In the year 1240 of the Bactrian calendar, the iron hooves of the Bactrian army leveled the western steppe, swept away the nomads living here, and obtained a large amount of fertile land.

In the year 1245 of the Great Xia calendar, Bactria encroached on the territory of all the surrounding countries step by step, and these countries retreated again and again, and finally were completely encroached on.

In the year 1250 of the Great Xia calendar, the army of Great Xia fought all the way to the Western Continent and swept away many countries in the Western Continent. However, due to the distance from Great Xia, no rule was carried out.

The prestige of Great Xia completely spread throughout the Eastern and Western Continents during this period, and almost all powerful countries in the world were hammered by the Great Xia army. Great Xia established the number one position in the world, and the title of Great Xia Dynasty appeared during this period.

The terror of the Bactrian army also made people all over the world yearn for Bactria in Bactria , and various countries began to send a large number of envoys to Bactria to learn the culture and knowledge of Bactria .

……

In the beautiful peach garden, three men with different temperaments sat in the gazebo, and at this time all of them had recovered from the memories of the Empress of Great Xia.

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

Xia Yang's expression was quite 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 Empress of Great Xia was so smooth that it was incredible. It's simply the legendary king's domineering spirit that comes out, and people from all walks of life come to vote.

"The starting point is more than ten times higher than our two deputy personalities, and the system is stronger than us, even I am a little jealous."

The system of the Empress of Great Xia is a favorability system, which can earn points through some trivial tasks, such as pouring a glass of water for someone else, or helping someone get something, which can increase the favorability of others.

The system of the Empress of Great Xia is like the strategy of some love games, as long as you get along with someone for a while, you will start that person's strategy journey. Each time you complete a task, you will earn a specific number of points, which will be used to gain points for that person and amplify the corresponding emotions.

There are many emotions that can be added by the system, such as family, friendship, love, loyalty, ......

If this system is placed on a man's body, it is a proper harem system, and it will be a good fortune for all kinds of beauties. However, judging from the current situation, even if it is put on the empress, it is still a harem system. With this system, the empress bent I don't know how many women, and even her own sisters didn't let go.

If this kind of thing is put on a man, it will be a complete scumbag, a beast, and a beast. But on a woman, things don't seem to be so bad, although it is very perverted, but it has not yet reached the point of a beast.

The old double standard is shivering...... Ahem, it's so enviable...... Ahem, it's so perverted that I don't even let go of my sister.

Xia Xuan took a sip of tea lightly and sighed: "But the empress is really good at playing, more than the two of you." I've always heard of the night royal hundred girls and thousands of girls, but I didn't expect that someone really did it, and the empress really knew how to play. ”

According to rough statistics, there are nearly 4,000 concubines in total, of all kinds of types, and at least dozens of them sleep together every night, and most of the time there are hundreds, and the old ones are one.

If she had been a man, all three of them wondered if the guy would have died on the woman's belly.

"On the other hand, you are a phobic woman, and the other is frigid."

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

Xia Xuan asked curiously: "But it seems that there are a lot of concubines in your memory, there should be hundreds, right?" ”

"Most of them are the wives and daughters of the city-lords I destroyed, and although I have captured them all in the palace, I have not touched most of them." Xia Yang's cold face did not change in the slightest.

Xia Xuan asked funny, "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 very difficult to meet. And the palace maids who take care of them will monitor them, and they will have only one fate, that is, they will grow old completely in the deep palace and never see the light of day. ”

Xia Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, not wanting to continue to pay attention to this dead tsundere. If you want to protect them with good intentions, you will speak up, and you will make yourself a tyrant.

At this time, the three of them turned their heads at the entrance of the Peach Blossom Garden at the same time.

Immediately afterward, a graceful woman walked in from outside. The woman was wearing a black dragon robe, her hair was spread out like a waterfall, her facial features were delicate like a person coming out of a painting, and she had a self-respecting imperial temperament.

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

Among the women Xia Xuan has seen, the only one who can be compared to this woman is the goddess of knowledge when she doesn't speak.

The beautiful woman walked into the pavilion step by step, looking at the three men in front of her with jewel-like eyes, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Hello." ”
