Chapter 551: The Empress of the Dawu Dynasty Kong Yishang
Sacrifice?
The new emperor Yuwen Yong will offer sacrifices in three days?
Leaving the capital for sacrifice during this time period?
When this news came out, all the civil and military officials in the court and the nobles in the capital were stunned. What was going on?
When Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng heard the news, they looked at each other. Is Yuwen Yong going to the imperial mausoleum for help?
It turned out to be the Yuwen family’s back-up plan.
This is fine. If they really want to seize the kingdom from a mortal like Yuwen Yong, the consequences will be very serious. After all, if you count carefully, Dayan Kingdom still has several decades left.
Didn’t you see that Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng just stayed in the Bian Mansion after entering the capital, and began to slowly screen out people who could take action without causing any consequences?
To be precise, it was Yuwen Yong who first triggered the cause and effect and planted enough people to overthrow his regime.
The karma that one person can bear is definitely not enough, so the more the better, as many hands make light work.
But, I didn’t expect that Yuwen Yong was such a great assist!
Monk to monk, well, just right.
This time, we don't have to save the country in a roundabout way, which is good. Su Xiaoya has discovered that even though she and Yu Shuheng have read a lot of "Guiguzi", "Historical Records", "Thirty-Six Strategies", "The Art of War", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Spring and Autumn Annals", "Zuo Zhuan", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Gu Liang Zhuan", "Su Shu", "Wei Liaozi", "Six Strategies", "Wu Jing Zonglue", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Wu Zi"... However, the two of them really don't have any political strategies. They are more suitable to play straight.
Ugh!
The twists and turns really don't suit the two of them; the world of martial arts where revenge and redemption are at their best is more suitable.
Sure enough, not everyone can become a politician.
Along the way, the two of them relied entirely on dimensionality reduction attacks to achieve their goals.
The only good thing is that the result was good.
That's all! Let's just treat this as the last time the two of them help these people!
After all, they came from that peaceful era, and the kindness and compassion in their hearts cannot be erased.
They really couldn't bear to see these innocent people suffer such heavy hardships and torture in this war-torn country with flames and smoke everywhere, and even survival became a luxury.
Yu Shuheng might be okay. As a tree that has lived for 100,000 years, he has really not experienced much of the sufferings of the world.
However, Su Xiaoya is different. When she thinks about the miserable appearance of Chu Yueheng, Gu Yiyun and others when they were fleeing, Su Xiaoya still feels sad. Anyway, she can't remain indifferent.
To her and Yu Shuheng, it was just a matter of physical effort, but to these ordinary people, it was a way of survival.
Now that a cultivator has intervened, things have become simple. We just need to wait for that cultivator to take action and Kyoto will be ours.
As for governing the capital, with Master Bian and Chu Yueheng assisting Su Mingyi, as well as local tycoons such as the Minister of Personnel Kong Zhijing and Marquis of Pingnan Shangguan Sinan coming forward to form alliances, the capital will definitely not be in chaos.
Well, very good, peaceful transition without any consequences.
Perfect!
At this moment, Su Xiaoya wanted to take another look at the monks in the imperial mausoleum, but she finally held back because she didn't want to alert the enemy. Anyway, there was no rush, it was only three days, she could wait.
Of course, what needs to be arranged should be done quietly. It is impossible for others to be left in the dark when it is time to take over.
"If the ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not discreet, they will lose their lives; if the secrets are not kept secret, harm will occur. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and does not reveal them." What should be kept secret must be kept secret, and it must not be done in a high-profile manner. At this time, the role of the communication jade token is very important.
As expected, the spies who were monitoring the Bian Mansion, the Minister of Personnel Mansion, and the Marquis of Pingnan Mansion did not detect any movement.
Yuwen Yong really couldn't sit still this time.
No movement is the biggest movement.
The other party was able to sit tight and wait even though the situation was already clear. What does this mean? It means that they are sure to win!
Yuwen Yong, who was originally just planning to go fishing, had to turn the fake into real. In his heart, Yuwen Yong was resistant. I don't know why, ever since the Empress Dowager made this suggestion, Yuwen Yong always felt flustered and uneasy.
Yuwen Yong really didn't want to take this step unless it was absolutely necessary. He didn't even need the Red Guards to find out how many people were ready to make a move. The water in Kyoto was muddy. As long as he was given time, Yuwen Yong was sure to clear up Kyoto.
It's a pity that people are not as good as God.
Forget it, let’s just catch them all in one swoop this time.
Anyway, it's a last-ditch effort.
Zhen Guohou Mansion.
Su Xiaofei was delighted when she received the message from her mother. This was really like someone giving her a pillow when she was sleepy!
These days, Su Xiaofei has been thinking about how to kill Yuwen Yong.
However, she couldn't even enter the palace, let alone meet the emperor. Unless there was a large state banquet in the near future. However, the Wansui Festival had long passed, and the Spring Festival was still several months away...
Su Xiaofei was racking her brains to think about how to get close to Yuwen Yong, how to control Yuwen Yong, how to use the tiger's skin as a banner...
Then, I received the news that Yuwen Yong was going out of the city to offer sacrifices at the imperial mausoleum. It was really a gift delivered to my doorstep!
The reason why Su Xiaofei was so confident was that Zhao Chunhua had just accepted two grand masters a few days ago.
Great master!
Su Xiaofei went to see the two grand masters and did a test.
One of them was called Qian Er, a middle-aged man. His face was slightly thin, but he looked particularly resolute, with a broad forehead and thick eyebrows that were slightly raised, as sharp as a sword, revealing his determination and confidence.
Qian Er's eyes were deep and sharp, like the brightest stars in the night sky, as if they could see through everything in the world. Under his high nose bridge, his lips were tightly closed with clear lines, showing a resolute and decisive temperament.
His hair was neatly combed, not a single strand out of place, just as orderly as his lifestyle.
Qian Er looks like a very self-disciplined master.
The other one was named Zhao Yuan, an old man with white beard and white eyebrows. His face was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, like the marks carved by the wind and frost of time.
Zhao Yuan's eyes were deeply sunken in his eye sockets, revealing a deep wisdom and fatigue from experiencing vicissitudes of life.
His hair has turned completely white and is sparsely scattered on his head, like memories blown away by the wind of time.
His mouth was tightly closed, with the corners of his mouth drooping slightly, as if he was telling about the hardships of life.
His face looked thin and his skin was loose, as if it had lost the elasticity and luster of his youth.
Su Xiaofei didn’t know whether Zhao Yuan and Qian Er’s skills were top-notch, but Su Xiaofei thought they were amazing “super masters”.
Zhao Yuan and Qian Er could fly over roofs and walls with ease, as light and agile as flying swallows.
Even at the famous Broken Sword Cliff in Nanshan, the capital's outer city, the two of them could still climb up and down with ease. It was a steep cliff, but Zhao Yuan and Qian Er seemed to have invisible stairs under their feet, and they walked on the cliff as if they were walking on flat ground.
What is even more astonishing is that they can actually hover above the water for a short period of time, just like the immortals in the legend. Such magical skills opened Su Xiaofei's eyes.
Su Xiaofei even thought that the Su family must have found a grandmaster, who pretended to be a god, and then used rumors to spread it, which is why it was said to be so miraculous.
So, since the Su family has the National Master Palace, can Su Xiaofei also use the emperor to control the princes and let Zhao Yuan and Qian Er subdue Yuwen Yong and make him give up the throne to her?
Queen!
This is what Su Xiaofei saw in the Records of the Grand Historian when she was reading. In the previous dynasty's previous dynasty, the Dawu Dynasty, there was a female emperor named Kong Yishang, who created a prosperous era with all nations paying tribute to her.
During the Dawu Dynasty, women had a relatively high social status. They could walk freely on the streets, participate in various professional activities, and even had the opportunity to receive education in women's schools.
This is similar to the social atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty, which was a relatively open and inclusive era.
However, despite this, there were still some restrictions and constraints in the Dawu Dynasty, such as the lack of positions for female officials.
There is no way to avoid this phenomenon, as that was the influence of society’s perception of gender roles and traditional concepts at the time.
In general, although it is not as good as the gender equality on Blue Star in the 21st century, women in the Dawu Dynasty still enjoy more freedom and rights than women in other dynasties.
Women in the Dawu Dynasty were able to display their talents and charm in public, actively participate in social life, and improve their own qualities through learning and hard work. Such a social environment provided women with a broader space for development and promoted the exchange and innovation of culture and ideas.
It was also because of this environment that Kong Yishang, who was both civil and military, had the opportunity to become emperor.
Kong Yishang was born into a prominent family. Her father was the left prime minister and her mother was a lady from a famous family.
Kong Yishang showed extraordinary intelligence and talent since she was young. When she was three years old, she began to receive enlightenment education and was soon discovered to have the ability to remember everything she saw. This amazing talent made her famous at the age of five and was hailed as a talented woman.
At the age of seven, Kong Yishang was personally appointed by the emperor as a companion to the princess, and was able to enter the upper study room to study with the princes and princesses.
In the upper study room, Kong Yishang not only learned knowledge, but also made friends with many top dignitaries and expanded his network of contacts. After all, those who could become the prince's companions had high family backgrounds.
As time flies, Kong Yishang gradually grows into a graceful and elegant girl. Her beauty is as beautiful as a blooming flower, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves; and her talent is even more outstanding. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can compose poems and songs at will, becoming a shining pearl in the capital.
Both high-ranking officials and literati praised her highly, calling her "the most talented woman in the capital" and "the most beautiful woman in the capital."
Kong Yishang's fame spread far and wide, attracting many suitors, but she always remained aloof and remained unmoved.
The emperor, who was also the crown prince, was one of the many suitors. They had known each other since childhood and had been childhood sweethearts. It was natural for Kong Yishang to become the crown princess in the end.
After the emperor ascended the throne, Kong Yishang was naturally named empress and became the mother of the country.
Queen Kong Huishang and the Emperor were deeply in love and supported each other. The feelings between them were deep and sincere, which made the entire court envious.
They supported each other and faced the challenges and difficulties in the palace together. This tacit understanding and trust made them role models in the eyes of everyone.
In such an atmosphere, the other concubines in the harem seemed overshadowed and almost became dispensable.
Even the four concubines found it difficult to capture the emperor's heart. Even though they had their own beauty and talents, they could not gain the emperor's favor and attention.
However, they did not feel jealous or resentful because of this. Instead, they were full of admiration and respect for Queen Kong Yishang.
There was no other reason. Empress Kong Huishang had never been arrogant because of her favor. She was even more considerate of the daily lives of the four concubines. Even when the four concubines' families caused trouble, the emperor never asked about it. Instead, Empress Kong Huishang stepped forward to solve them.
The eldest son born to Empress Kong Yishang attracted much attention. His birth brought endless joy to the entire palace. From the moment he was born, he was destined to shoulder the heavy responsibility of inheriting the throne in the future. The emperor made him the crown prince without hesitation, giving him the highest status and honor.
The little prince seemed to be born with nobility, and his every move revealed a unique temperament. During his growth, both education and living conditions were the best.
Everyone in the palace had high hopes for the little prince, expecting him to become a wise monarch and continue the prosperity of the dynasty.
At the same time, the little prince also carries the expectations and blessings of his parents, hoping that he will have smooth sailing in his future life and realize his ideals and ambitions.
However, fate played a cruel joke on them. The emperor died of a sudden heart attack when the little prince had just turned one year old.
Since the emperor had no other children, the young prince naturally ascended the throne and became the new emperor, while Empress Kong Yishang was promoted to empress dowager.
Because the new emperor was young and unable to govern, Empress Dowager Kong Yishang had to rule the country from behind the curtain and assist the young ruler.
Empress Dowager Kong Yishang handled state affairs while doing her best to teach the young emperor, hoping that he could take charge of the government as soon as possible.
Time passed quickly, and the little emperor turned fifteen and had a grand wedding. After the wedding, the queen mother began to gradually hand over power to the little emperor, allowing him to govern the country personally.
A year later, the little queen became pregnant, which filled the entire court with joy and expectation.
In order to expand the dynasty, the young emperor took the granddaughters of four important ministers into the palace and conferred the titles of concubines on them.
Unfortunately, people are greedy and never give up. Some of the four concubines had ulterior motives and secretly plotted. They were jealous of the young queen's status and favor and wanted to replace her. So they began to plot and try to find an opportunity to kill the young queen and replace her.
The mother of the country!
Who wouldn’t be moved?
The Four Concubines, although it sounds nice, are not actually concubines. They are just the emperor's concubines and cannot be buried with the emperor after death.
She thinks she comes from a good family, is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, has fair skin, beautiful face and long legs. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she is beautiful in her own unique way. Why can't she be the queen?
When the little queen was about to give birth, these concubines with ulterior motives saw an opportunity. They secretly calculated and used various means to create chaos and "accidents".
As a result, the little queen was frightened and gave birth prematurely. This sudden change caught everyone off guard, especially the little queen herself, who fell into extreme panic and pain.
Due to the double blow of premature birth and difficult labor, the little queen experienced a life-and-death struggle, struggling with all her might, hoping to give birth to the baby smoothly.
However, fate did not seem to favor her and she encountered many difficulties and setbacks.
Finally, after a long and arduous delivery, the little queen successfully gave birth to the eldest son.
But at this moment, she also paid a huge price - postpartum hemorrhage caused her to lose her life.
This tragic ending is heartbreaking and makes people sigh at the cruelty and ruthlessness of court struggles.
The young emperor was filled with grief and anger, and was deeply distressed. He ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
It turned out that all four concubines were involved. The extremely angry little emperor ordered the execution of the four concubines without hesitation, and resolutely abandoned the throne and became a monk.
Faced with such a situation, Kong Yishang, who was about to be forced to become the Empress Dowager, had no choice but to take power again and continue to manage the government in order to stabilize the political situation.
This time, Empress Dowager Kong Yishang was planning to support her only little grandson to ascend the throne.
However, the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty refused to accept this and directly supported Queen Mother Kong Huishang to ascend the throne and become the empress.
The truth is that the civil and military officials no longer wanted to gamble. They had exhausted all their efforts to finally support and teach the young emperor to grow up and rule the country, but in the end they were left with such a huge mess. If it happened again, even gods would go crazy.
