281, it's over

Previous Chapter

When the three of them saw each other, they tacitly glanced at each other, and then stepped into the palace gate.

The queen looked at the eldest princess, and stopped talking several times, but she still couldn't bear to ask.

However, the eldest princess guessed her intentions and took the initiative to say: "Imperial sister-in-law, the imperial brother has died due to the rebellion of King Nanping. ”

The queen fell back into her seat and muttered, "That's how he died......

Speaking of which, they also married at a young age, and now they have been together for most of their lives, she is annoyed and hated by the emperor, but now, she only feels pity.

The emperor was gone after all.

The queen thought about it for a long time, but finally calmed down.

"Since Your Majesty has already left, I think I will also explain before leaving, and this palace will cooperate to complete the transfer of power, as long as it is ......"

At this point, she paused.

Ah Cha and the eldest princess glanced at each other, and they both knew the deep meaning of the queen's words at this moment.

The queen will ensure a smooth transfer of power, but she only wants the crown prince to be preserved.

Ah Cha was very emotional.

The so-called love of parents and children is far-reaching, but that's it.

"Queen, the deity promises you that I will ensure that the prince is safe and sound."

With her words, the queen's tears burst out of her eyes at once.

The eldest princess looked sour, but still stepped forward.

"Imperial sister-in-law, before leaving, the imperial brother handed me his personal jade pendant, named me the eldest princess of Dingguo, and ordered me to temporarily manage state affairs and choose a suitable heir, you see this ......"

The queen is also an understanding person, and when she heard that the eldest princess had hinted at this, she naturally understood.

"The eldest princess and the goddess will decide, and the palace will fully cooperate with you."

Seeing her say this, Ah Cha didn't hesitate and directly stated their purpose.

"Empress, the deity wants to block the news of the emperor's death for seven days, and after seven days, wait until the general trend of the world has been decided and then announce it to the world."

The queen looked at her deeply and finally saluted.

"That'...... The main palace is in accordance with the arrangement of the goddess. ”

"These seven Japanese palaces will sit in the harem and keep this news."

"Okay."

The goal was achieved, and Ah Cha and the others did not stay long, and left directly.

Just walked out of the queen's palace, but the eldest princess stopped and pursed her lips hesitantly.

Ah Cha saw through what she was thinking at a glance.

"Comrade Eldest Princess, if you want to see the Queen Mother, go away."

The queen mother is her and the emperor's biological mother, and now that the emperor is dead, the eldest princess should go to see the queen mother.

"No, Comrade Acha." The eldest princess raised her eyes to meet her gaze and said with great solemnity, "I think you will go with me to see the queen mother, maybe this will be a good time to persuade her to support us." ”

Well?

Now it was Ah Cha's turn to be shocked.

Not to mention whether the Queen Mother will support them, just mentioning the news of the emperor's death in front of the Queen Mother is afraid that it will cause an uproar.

If they go like this, when the Queen Mother makes a big deal about it, no matter how much the news of the blockade is made, it will be known to everyone.

"I ...... It's still not appropriate to go. ”

Who knew that the eldest princess shook her head solemnly, "It's very appropriate for you to go." ”

"You don't know, my queen mother is an extremely powerful person, in the past, she was arrogant and domineering by relying on the throne of the royal brother, and the royal brother was afraid of her as the queen mother."

"But now it's different, the imperial brother is gone, she is not very close to the princes, she will not be naΓ―ve to think that those princes will respect her as the imperial grandmother."

"So the only thing she can rely on now is me, my biological daughter, the eldest princess of Dingguo, who was personally appointed by the imperial brother to temporarily manage state affairs."

Ah Cha understood that the eldest princess wanted to use the showdown with the Queen Mother in exchange for support.

"But will the Queen Mother really be at your disposal, and even support us in building a new world?"

For the Queen Mother, she herself is in a high position and is the top beneficiary of feudal society.

It is hard for Ah Cha to imagine that the Queen Mother would choose to give up all her interests, just to rely on her daughter.

In her opinion, the current Queen Mother is already extremely shocking if she does not take power.

But this time the eldest princess's answer was even firmer, "She will." ”

"The current appearance of the queen mother is just the sequelae of her fighting in her father's harem in the past."

"She has always felt that she can only feel safe enough if she is firmly in her own hands."

"She's not an unreasonable person, I think the fate of the royal brother will give her some warning."

The eldest princess's words, Ah Cha listened to it and understood it halfway.

But she is an outsider who has not had in-depth contact with the Queen Mother, and it is not easy to evaluate it without permission, but since the eldest princess wants her to go to see the Queen Mother together, let's go.

"Okay, then I'll be with you."

Walking to the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom again, Ah Cha was rarely in a trance.

"Come in, the mourning family has been waiting for you for a while."

The Queen Mother is waiting for them?

Ah Cha keenly caught the keyword, and then her eyes widened in shock.

Isn't it, could it be that their plans have been exposed?

But the reality didn't allow her to think too much, because the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom in front of her had been opened, and under the sunlight, she could clearly see the Queen Mother wearing a plain dress and sitting on the phoenix chair.

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

Ah Cha followed behind the eldest princess, but nodded to the queen mother, which was counted as a salute.

The Queen Mother glanced at them lightly and said to herself.

"The mourning family has been inexplicably flustered since last night, when chanting the scriptures this morning, the Buddha beads were suddenly broken, remembering that the emperor was going to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to reward the soldiers, his intuition was wrong, he wanted to call the emperor back, but he still didn't do so."

"Do you know why?"

Ah Cha and the eldest princess shook their heads in unison.

"Because the mourners know that some things are destined to happen."

This......

The eldest princess was very moved, her legs and feet were weak and she almost fell to the ground, but Ah Chayan quickly supported her.

She took out the jade pendant and handed it tremblingly in the direction of the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, this is the royal brother's ...... Close-fitting jade pendant ......"

At this point, a hot tear flowed from the corner of the Queen Mother's eyes.

"Sure enough, he really left......"

Regarding the actions of the eldest princess and the queen mother, Ah Cha was a little incomprehensible.

The Queen Mother was dressed in plain clothes, and she must have guessed the emperor's ending.

However, the queen mother was unusual, she knew that there was trouble before the emperor left the palace and did not stop her, but now her mood is calm and frightening.

This is not the Queen Mother's style at all.

Could it be that what they did had already been known to the Queen Mother in advance?

As soon as this idea popped up, Ah Cha denied it by himself.

Their actions are strictly confidential, and the few people who know the inside information are also their henchmen, and it is impossible for anyone to leak it.

Before she could continue to think about it, the Queen Mother's voice sounded again.

"How did he explain before he left?"

Ah Cha carefully observed the face of the Queen Mother, but only saw that she was as calm as a pool of lake water.

"Brother Huang named me the eldest princess of Dingguo, let me temporarily manage state affairs, and let me choose a suitable heir to succeed to the throne."

The Queen Mother listened very calmly, nodded her head, and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"I want to ......"

As soon as she said this, the eldest princess couldn't go on anymore and turned her eyes to Ah Cha.

Of course, the Queen Mother could understand what she meant, and slowly got up from the phoenix chair and walked in front of Ah Cha step by step, half a meter away from her.

"Lord Goddess, the mourning family wants to ask, what do you think of this great throne?"

Ah Cha could clearly feel that there was no questioning or accusation in the Queen Mother's words, and some were just simple inquiries.

She silently cast a puzzled look at the eldest princess, and after being encouraged by the eldest princess, she still chose to open her mouth.

"The emperor has died, and there is no suitable successor among the princes, and the deity wants to change the old appearance of Daxing into a new one."

Her words exploded in the ears of the Queen Mother.

"You're presumptuousβ€”"

But Ah Cha was not frightened by her scolding, and sped up her speech, blurting out the rest of the words.

"These feudal shackles not only imprison you and me, but also imprison thousands of women in the world, and imprison every move of the people, doesn't the Queen Mother want to watch these changes?"

The Queen Mother was a little moved, and the look on her face was rarely a little relaxed.

"The mourning family wants to see it, but what can it be?"

"That really can't be." Ah Cha smiled faintly at her, "But now the opportunity for change is in front of us, if we can't seize the opportunity again, then there really is no chance." ”

The Queen Mother slowly raised her eyes, "Is that so?" ”

The eldest princess stepped to the side of the Queen Mother, "That's it! ”

"Queen Mother, have you forgotten why you entered the palace and stepped into this quagmire in the past?"

"You are also a victim of this feudal confinement, don't you want to change?"

The queen mother of that year was from a humble background and was forced to enter the palace as a maid, but she happened to be favored by the emperor and elected to the harem.

But there were many concubines in the first queen's palace, and the struggles were the most frequent, and whoever didn't fight for his life would die in Huangquan.

In this way, the Queen Mother was forced to get involved in the endless harem struggle.

Fortunately, she was able to win the favor of the emperor and give birth to the eldest princess and the emperor, and this time she can have today's peace.

So she was said to be a little shaken, "But the mourning family is old......"

Ah Cha took over the conversation, "But we are still young, and there is still a chance to change." ”

"Queen Mother, the deity won't hide it from you."

"In the vision of the deity and the eldest princess, the news of the emperor's death will be sealed for seven days, and after seven days, a new world will be established."

"We will abolish all the feudal rituals and systems in the past!"

"In addition, we must vigorously promote the emancipation of the mind inside and outside Daxing, and seek the right to live freely for every woman!"

Speaking of this, Ah Cha's gaze turned on the Queen Mother.

"With this, there will never be a woman who will be forced to do some hard work because of the poverty of her family!"

"The world of the future will be a world where everyone is equal and the world is the same!"

Ah Cha said every word and word, all of which touched the heart of the Queen Mother.

She had suffered in the past, and she lived a life of humiliation before she became the favorite concubine of the former emperor.

Although she has been embarrassed by the power in her hands over the years, in her heart, she wants to see everyone equal more than anyone else.

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time before she said, "Okay, the mourning family is willing to change." ”

As soon as the words fell, she took a jade medallion from the table beside her and handed it to Ah Cha.

"This is a jade medal that symbolizes the identity of the mourning family, you can take it."

"With this jade medal, you can transfer all the manpower of the mourning family at will."

"As for this palace, the mourning family will also guard it for you."

Hearing this, the eldest princess's eyes flashed with joy.

Her insistence and what she did were finally recognized by the Queen Mother.

"Thank you for your support."

Although Ah Cha didn't understand why she was so happy, she still followed her to thank the Queen Mother.

"Thank you for your understanding."

They left quickly, and the Queen Mother stood at the palace gate and looked at their distant backs, and many sighs rose in her heart.

"I hope the mourning family's choice this time is not wrong."

She did anticipate in advance that the emperor would encounter an accident, and even guessed that there was the handle of the eldest princess and Ah Cha.

But when she learned that the emperor was going to attack the king of Nanping in a camp on the outskirts of Beijing, she already regretted her choice.

To this day, she has to admit that compared to the eldest princess, the emperor is indeed not a candidate to be the emperor.

Back then, she insisted on choosing the wrong one, which caused the emperor to ignore political affairs after succeeding to the throne, and spent all day drinking and pursuing immortality.

The gears of fate turned again, and this time she had no choice but to choose the wrong one again.

said that until she walked out of the queen mother's palace, the smile on the eldest princess's face did not stop.

Ah Cha listened to her strangely for a long time, "Comrade Eldest Princess, why are you happy?" ”

Hearing her take the initiative to ask, the corners of the eldest princess's mouth were even more difficult to suppress than AK, "Comrade Acha, you don't know that the queen mother has a lot of secret guards in her hands. ”

"Those batches are all elite manpower left by my father, and the number is far more than the number left to me and my brother combined, and the queen mother has a lot of power in the court and outside the palace."

"She is now willing to support us and give us all these forces, which means that we can have a greater chance of leading Daxing through the crisis smoothly."

The more she said this, the faster Ah Cha's heart beated.

An inexplicable bad premonition was even stronger.

"That's what I said, but we still have to be careful ......"

She was only halfway through her sentence when Zuochug came with a hurried face.

"Goddess, there is an emergency."

Ah Cha only felt that his heartbeat was skipping a beat.

An emergency meant that their elaborate plan was still missing.

She desperately steadied herself, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"The king of Nanping found Uncle Jiang back before he started the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and gave him a batch of manpower."

"At that time, Uncle Jiang was on the periphery of the encirclement, Zhang Ming failed to capture him, and he fled with some of King Nanping's men."

"At present, he has quickly fled to the border pass, preparing to gather the enemy country to attack Daxing."

Ah Cha and the eldest princess glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

"There are only two ways to the border pass, and you and Zhu Shun are now leading a team of men to chase after you!"

"I'll send the news to Song Yunan right away, he will prepare in advance!"

"You must stop them in Daxing!"

Since the death of the emperor, Ah Cha and the eldest princess have been so busy all day long that they almost don't even have the time to drink tea.

"Comrade Acha, there is news from the border pass that Chu Xingbai and Song Yunan's people have joined forces to control Uncle Jiang in Daxing."

Ah Cha nodded, "Since they have controlled the people, let them exterminate Uncle Jiang and King Nanping's rebellious subordinates as soon as possible." ”

There is now some civil unrest in various parts of Daxing to varying degrees, but it is still manageable.

"By the way, there is also news from the left minister's side, everything is fine in the fiefdom, and the people are gradually coming out of the turmoil of the flood."

"There was a small famine, but it had been solved in time, and the plague had not appeared until now, so I don't think there would be much of a problem."

Hearing her say this, Ah Cha's heart was relieved a lot.

"That's good, it's a pity that Tuoba Jun can't see it with his own eyes."

Takubajun has been gone for a while, but to this day, she still feels regretful.

It would have been nice if Takubajun hadn't left.

The eldest princess was also stunned when she heard this, "Comrade Acha, you still have to look forward." ”

People can't be resurrected after death, and Tuoba Jun's departure is a thorn in the heart of each of them, but there is no point in dwelling on it all the time.

Ah Cha naturally understood what she meant.

"I know, I just feel that fate is impermanent, and many times you and I can't change it."

It's like she has a system space in her hands, a system log, and can see the fate of others at any time, but she will still be helpless.

She raised her eyes to the eldest princess's concerned gaze, "In three days, we will announce the news of the emperor's death to the world, and other affairs are ready?" ”

The eldest princess nodded affirmatively, "All of our men have been dispatched, and they have all been arranged in various places to ensure that there will be no accidents on that day." ”

"The ministers of the DPRK and China have also greeted us in advance, and they will not object to our actions."

All of this was to be expected, but she meant more than that.

"Comrade Eldest Princess, are you ready?"

As soon as the third day arrives, after announcing the news of the emperor's death, they will immediately issue an edict to the world, Ah Cha will succeed to the throne as the empress, and the eldest princess will naturally become the regent.

Their intention in this arrangement is to pay off the points owed by Ah Cha in the system, and secondly, to be able to use their high position to form an atmosphere of women's rise in the world.

Naturally, with the empress and the princess regent, it is logical for women to enter the court to participate in political affairs.

The eldest princess's eyes were full of determination and affirmation, "I'm ready." ”

She knows very well that in the world three days later, either the former scholars and literati will criticize them, or there will be commotions in various places, or they will become demon girls who will bring disaster to the country, but so what?

For the sake of a better tomorrow for the world, they can still afford to bear this infamy.

With her words, Ah Cha's heart seemed to have a needle in the sea.

The eldest princess has always been her staunchest comrade-in-arms.

And now, they are about to achieve their first success.

The bright sunlight shone on the ground through the window lattice, gilding them with a faint golden light.

"Okay, then we'll wait and see what happens in three days."

Speaking of which, the time of three days is neither fast nor slow.

Without obstacles, everyone from the Queen Mother, the Queen, and everyone to the Hualuolou worked together, everything seemed to be so logical.

"The Empress Dowager of Daxing decreed: The emperor died seven days ago due to anti-thieves, and a special edict was issued to inform China and foreign countries, and the salty envoy heard about it!"

This is the first edict issued by the Queen Mother, and it is also telling the world that the emperor has died.

"The emperor has reigned for more than 30 years, and he has been extravagant, asking for immortals, and not asking about political affairs, which has caused chaos in the world and the people are not happy. As a king, he is close to Yuanxian and reuses traitorous ministers, which is a second transgression; Being in a high position, but ignoring the lives and slaughtering the people, this is a triple transgression. Those who are kings have three faults, and they should not be worthy of being kings. However, the emperor has passed away, and in order to correct his mistakes, the mourning family has set things right, and he has issued an edict for the emperor! ”

This edict was written by the Queen Mother herself, and for so many years, she knows better than anyone else the wrong things that the emperor has done.

But as the emperor's mother, she chose to turn a blind eye for the power in her hands.

Now that the emperor has passed away, she wrote down these charges of the emperor with her own hands, not only to give an explanation to the people of the world, but also to give an explanation to her former self.

After so many years, she is still too incompetent as the queen mother.

"The throne of the emperor is vacant, but the emperor's heirs are not successful, it is difficult to be a big position, after the mourning family and the elders of the royal family discussed, the decision is located in the goddess! After the Divine Maiden succeeded to the throne, she observed the people's feelings and worried about the world! ”

The three edicts had been read, and Ah Cha stood on the high castle tower, listening to the loud bells coming from the palace.

She knew that these three edicts had been passed down to every land in Daxing at this moment.

She clearly saw the relief and lightness of the people in the capital after listening to Yi's decree.

It was she who was bad and put things off for so long to settle.

The eldest princess slowly approached her.

"Comrade Acha, your succession ceremony is still an hour away, and you should go and prepare."

It is said to be a succession ceremony, but this ceremony is destined to be an unprecedented ceremony in the history of Daxing.

For nothing else, this time Ah Cha deliberately made some innovations.

After she received the seals, jade seals, and talismans symbolizing the emperor's identity from the queen mother and queen in the palace, she would leave the palace and take a walk around the streets of the capital.

Eventually, she will climb the tower again to celebrate this day of liberation with the people.

"Okay, I'll go."

At the succession ceremony, she did not choose to wear a dragon robe, but put on her original casual clothes.

Even the eldest princess followed her and wore clothes of a similar style.

After all, if you want to change, you still need to start from the subtleties of life.

"Succession ceremony, beginning-"

This was the first process, and she quickly got something from the Queen Mother.

"Goddess...... Comrade Acha, you can keep these well, and I will hand over the future of Daxing to you. ”

To change the title, the Queen Mother is still a little unaccustomed, but it is a new society, and she is still willing to follow the rules.

It is rare that there is no confrontation with the Queen Mother, and she can speak calmly, and Ah Cha bowed respectfully to her.

"Queen Mother, I have already asked people to clean up the palace, you can move in at any time."

After speaking, she turned her head to look at the queen again, the prince had been released from the mansion, and was now standing beside the queen obediently.

"The prince has finally grown up."

"We've all grown."

Along the way, not only the crown prince, but all of them have different harvests and have grown.

Qiu Xue, who was placed next to the crown prince, and the other women beside the prince had already completed their mission and all regained their freedom.

According to their own wishes, Ah Cha and the eldest princess have arranged them in different places.

It's like Qiu Xue, who is now waiting on the castle tower, just waiting for the announcement that he will become the new servant of the ministry.

The handover ceremony here was soon over, and Ah Cha went to the city non-stop.

In fact, she was also a little worried in her heart, afraid that she would be opposed and besieged by a large number of people.

But unexpectedly, the people she saw seemed to be extremely supportive of her succession as empress.

In particular, many women came out of the boudoir and gathered on both sides of the street.

"Comrade, we believe that you can lead us to a better future!"

"Comrade, let's fight together in the future!"

This voice of comrade made Ah Cha burst into tears.

She had already made an order earlier, and the people in the future did not need to have any honorific titles for her, just call each other comrades.

If it weren't for the fact that she still needed to retain the identity of the emperor to pay off the points owed, she actually wanted to abolish the title of empress.

When the sun was shining, she climbed the tower.

Under the tower, hundreds of civil and military officials and the people of the whole city have gathered.

Everyone is looking forward to the bell of the new world being ringed completely.

On Ah Cha's side, there is a big clock.

She lifted the bell with all her might, and struck the bell with all her strength.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

The deep and majestic voice resounded in all directions.

The children downstairs also flew their kites.

At this moment, this nascent dynasty was born, and a new prologue began.

"From now on, change the name of the country to Tongxin Country!"

"This land belongs to all of us!"

After succeeding to the throne, Acha was even busier than before.

If she has achieved anything bigger, it is to completely pay off the huge amount of points she owes, and pay it off all at once.

She is already the titular empress, and it is easy to improve her favorability and earn points by herself.

All she was stuck in the deadline, and it took just three days to complete this huge project-

Pay off more than two million points.

Even Bai Ze, who has always been well-informed, was dumbfounded!

"Little Ancestor, it has to be you."

"Last time, you took out a loophole loan to buy props, and this time you are engaged in word games to earn points by becoming an emperor yourself."

"I'll just say why haven't you been in a hurry, it turns out that you have a plan."

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

"You're this, I'm not as good as you!"

Ah Cha smiled at him.

"Where, where. It is not difficult to borrow and repay, and we will continue to cooperate in the future. ”

Hearing her say this, Bai Ze's eyebrows jumped.

Suddenly, I had a bad premonition.

But that's all for later.

After doing this, Ah Cha put all his energy into the construction of Tongxin Country.

In January of the first year of Tongxinguo, she reopened the scientific examination on a large scale, allowing men and women to be officials in the same dynasty.

In the past three years, she has promoted compulsory schools and medical centers across the country to protect the basic rights and interests of the people.

In the five years of Tongxinguo, she devoted her energy to infrastructure construction, built roads on a large scale, renovated old houses, and built Jiyue Garden to all corners of the world.

After the changes in the past five years, the strength of Tongxin Country has increased more and more, and Chu Xingbai saw that the time was ripe, and he also took the initiative to send a letter of surrender.

In the sixth year of Tongxinguo, Yan was merged into Tongxinguo and became Tongxinguo Autonomous Prefecture.

Since then, the development of Tongxinguo has accelerated all the way and has moved to the fast lane.

She ordered to open the door of Tongxin Country, use a series of measures to attract foreign merchants to come in, and improve technology and level, so that domestic products can go out.

For a time, the economy of Tongxin Country was prosperous.

With a solid foundation of economy and people's livelihood, she turned her attention to scientific and technological research and development.

The investment of large sums of money has enabled Tongxin country to develop rapidly in science and technology in a short period of time, far ahead of other countries.

During this period, Tongxin not only accepted the countries that were willing to join the country, but also launched support programs for other countries.

There is no longer gunpowder and war in the whole world, and everyone is trying to build their own homeland through their own ways and different actions.

For these, Ah Cha is very satisfied.

Every time she thinks back to the past, she has infinite emotion.

With their unremitting efforts, the once bold words and ambitions have finally changed from slogans to reality.

The woman stood up completely, everyone was equal, the world was the same, and the people lived in harmony under a blue sky.

Everything was beautiful, but she had to admit that their generation was old.

Fortunately, the new generation of young people has grown up in a civilized atmosphere since childhood, not only sensible, distinguishing between right and wrong, knowing good and evil, but also being responsible and responsible.

In this way, it made her feel very relieved.

She believes that these young people can be good successors and continue the thriving Tongxin country.

Among them, the eldest princess was the first to die.

After that, Chu Xingbai and An Qingge......

Seeing that his former friends have left one by one, the loneliness in Ah Cha's heart is even more unspeakable.

For so many years, she was single, unmarried, and had no children.

In the past, she often had friends as companions, but her friends were gone one by one, and now she was the only one left.

Now she has handed over the power in her hands to the young man little by little, but she still needs to deal with a lot of affairs every day.

Yue Xin is her chosen successor.

When she was choosing a successor, she saw at a glance the vigorous vitality and persistence of Yuexin's child.

Just like she was back then.

When a person is old, his body must not be as good as before.

She summoned Yue Xin to the bed and explained a lot.

In the end, she vaguely returned to the day when she first came into this world.

The past was like smoke, echoing in her mind.

"Comrade Yuexin, I will hand over this concentric country to you."

"In the future, you must work hard to lead the people to go better."

"Comrade Acha, don't worry, I will."

A bright smile bloomed at the corner of Ah Cha's lips and slowly closed her eyes.

In June of the 42nd year of Tongxinguo, Comrade Ah Cha died of illness.

Her life is undoubtedly gorgeous.

And her existence seems to be to change the world.
