Chapter 237 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 40
During Yan Ying's ten-year reign, she worked hard to govern, reformed people's livelihood, developed education, and transformed the army with thunderous means. In ten years, the dynasty's governance became unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful.
In the imperial study room, Yan Ying was lying on the couch, waiting for Qiu Yu to feed the peeled grapes into her mouth, and waiting for the little eunuch outside to hear the biography: "Cabinet scholar Wu Xu begs to see you"
Yan Ying immediately got up from the couch, rubbed her eyes and sat on the dragon chair, and then waited for Wu Xu to come in and kneel before she got up and quickly helped him up: "Aiqing, please forgive me, come here, give me seat"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the disaster relief in the plains was safe and sound. The locust plague has been wiped out, and the people are now at peace, thanks to the abundance of granaries in the court for several years..."
Yan Ying listened to him, and then said: "Our monarchs and ministers have been for ten years, and Aiqing is doing things. I am at ease. This court is full of civil and military affairs. After careful consideration, Aiqing is the person I trust the most in my heart."
Wu Xu was born in a poor family and participated in the first imperial examination since the founding of the country. He is a student of the emperor. Over the years, he has been highly valued by the empress many times. With his meritorious service, he has been promoted many times. He can be regarded as the empress' confidant. Now that the empress said so, he is naturally moved Tears welled up in his eyes, and he wished he could repay him with death.
Yan Ying's voice changed, wondering: "The matter in the disaster area in Pingyuan has been resolved, but the moths of many countries have been left at home and abroad. My heart is not at ease. Take a look."
Wu Xu took the booklet with both hands, and looked at it carefully. After a while, he frowned and said angrily: "There is such an evil thing, don't worry about your majesty, wait for the minister to go and find out, and decide to punish the law and return the victims. A justice!"
Yan Ying nodded in satisfaction: "This matter is up to Lao Aiqing, and our monarchs and ministers will work together to create greater glories."
Wu Xu confidently took the booklet and left. Within 10 minutes, Li Minghao arrived.
New wine in an old bottle, Yan Ying is earnest again: "Ai Qing, you are the person I trust the most in my heart. We, the monarch and ministers, are united to create greater glories."
Jing Ming at the side rolled his eyes silently, do you believe what you said?
At the beginning, he was so excited to be fooled, but it turned out that the Empress had said this sentence to every official in the Manchu Dynasty.
Huh, liar—
Yan Mansion, Yan Liang is walking in the backyard with his ten-year-old niece. Little Yan Dan is Yan Wen's posthumous daughter. She was smart since she was a child, and was taught by Yan Li to read and write.
Yan Liang loved that she had no father, so he took her with him all the time, Xiao Yandan pointed to the locked yard and asked, "Second Uncle, the housekeeper said it was a forbidden place, who lived there before?"
Yan Liang looked at the door for a long time, and then said: "That is your third aunt's boudoir."
Yan Dan bit her lower lip, tears rolled in her eyes: "Is that the third aunt who became the Empress?"
Yan Liang nodded: "Mmm~"
In the dead of night, a little girl quietly climbed up the tree and climbed over the wall of Tianranju, her little face was full of stubbornness: "Third Uncle said: Know yourself and know your enemy, you can win a hundred battles, I want to see what kind of person you are."
Yan Dan climbed in through a window, and after lighting the lamp, he was stunned to see a shelf of books, and then picked up a handwritten book from the desk next to him. At the first sight, Yan Dan fell in love with her.
But when I turned to the back and saw that the signature was Yan Ying, her little face instantly collapsed.
After a while, I picked up the annotation again, looked at it carefully, and muttered while reading, hum, I know what you wrote.
In this way, Xiao Yandan studied in the academy during the day, and secretly entered Tianranju at night to see some of the historical sites left by Yan Taifu, and some of them were the annotations written by Yan Ying according to her own understanding.
After ten years of Yan Ying's reign, due to the emptiness of the harem, all the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty submitted papers to ask His Majesty to choose a son-in-law. Together, I found several great Confucian scholars from official schools, and asked them to teach them to govern the country just like teaching princes.
Even though Yan Ying disapproved of the way Kangxi taught her sons in the past, she had to say that the quality of the princes she taught was really good. Now, for the quality of the next emperor of Huaxia Kingdom, she must be as ruthless as Kangxi and let them fight , and then choose the best empress.
Looking at all kinds of emperors in ancient and modern times, from the abdication system to the family world, Yan Ying just blended the two ingeniously.
These girls passed the exams while studying, and finally selected the five best Yan heiresses. Among them, Yan Ying's eldest niece, Yan Dan, was very intelligent and cunning.
In order to train them, Yan Ying brought five of them with her and taught them for three years, and then released them to the people to see how ordinary women live in the world, housewives, women with crafts, and prostitutes, thousands of people in the world Thousands of women.
Finally, put the five people in a room and let them kill each other, and finally Yan Dan stood out.
Under Yan Ying's training, Yan Dan grew up quickly, and when she personally beheaded her greedy uncle from the mother clan, Yan Ying drove her to the border on the day she made her the empress dowager.
After Yan Dan got the military power and wiped out the Bei Rong who had been on the verge of making a move, the squadron returned to the court, and was sent by Yan Ying to the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry...
Until every important department in the imperial court had gone through it once, the empress took the throne and Yan Dan succeeded.
After Yan Dan succeeded to the throne, she once asked Yan Ying a question: "Do you know that I came to Beijing to avenge my father?"
Yan Ying nodded, "I know."
Yan Dan didn't understand why things turned out like this: "Then now that I hold great power, you are not afraid that I will kill you?"
Yan Ying shook her head and asked back, "Then do you still want to kill me now?"
Yan Dan thought about what she had found out, that her father would not commit suicide if she assassinated the Empress. After thinking about the Empress she had learned about for so many years, the Empress in other people's mouths, it seemed that the thought hadn't appeared for a long time: "I don't want you to die"
Yan Ying handed her the jade pendant from the Anbu of the Yan Clan and said, "I officially hand over this country to you. Do it well. If you feel lost, go to the dark room. There are things I left for you."
The moment Yan Ying left the Golden Luan Hall, Yan Dan suddenly called out: "Third Aunt, thank you!"
After Yan Dan succeeded to the throne, according to the plan for governing the country left by Yan Ying, she worked steadily and steadily, gradually accumulating national power, and finally abolished slavery when she died of old age.
Yan Dan's throne was not passed on to his daughter. Instead, like Yan Ying, the daughters of the main family and side branches of the Yan family were called into the palace for teaching examinations, and admission was based on merit.
Since then, this system has been preserved and has become the standard for successive empresses to choose their heirs.
