Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Mo Hongyun's mind instantly popped up with how to wear clothes.

The beads were wrapped around the neck, going down from the middle of the chest muscles, separating at the waist, wrapping around the wrists, and then coming together, moving down from the curve of the hips, and wrapping around the legs...

He coughed lightly and said with a red face: "This dress really matches the birdcage."

When Shen Xingxi thought of the scene with the birdcage, the blood in his body began to boil.

I could only use the excuse that I had something else to do to escape from the room.

There was only one month left, and she didn't want to fail.

And nowadays, we are busy every day, so a month will pass in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

The envoy couldn't contact the chief academician of the Imperial College and finally couldn't sit still anymore and asked Shen Xingxi for an answer.

Shen Xingxi summoned all the ministers to the Golden Palace and took out the student petition given to her by Mr. Huo for everyone to read.

The petition was filled with the students' names and the reasons for persuading the emperor to allow them to marry.

"My dear ministers, look at how lovely these students are. They have the loyalty and innocence of youth. They are not even twenty years old yet they have broad minds and care about the world."

Shen Xingxi smiled mockingly, "They voluntarily shouldered responsibilities that did not belong to them, and you accepted royal salaries without thinking about how to protect them."

Her words were full of sarcasm and disappointment towards the ministers.

"You who talk about morality and justice, have you ever thought about asking your son who is enrolled in the Imperial Academy to apologize? You always say that you will devote your life to the country until your death, but have you ever thought that the burden of the country's future will be borne by the young people? If these young people have bad intentions, what will the future of the country look like?"

Shen Xingxi's words fell silent among the ministers. They could not refute because everything the emperor said was true.

Seeing this, Shen Xingxi said no more, picked up the memorial beside him, and threw it hard in front of the prime minister, "Prime Minister, I asked you to supervise all officials and eliminate official corruption. Is this how you eliminate it?"

The prime minister picked up the memorial, looked at the names of more than a dozen officials on it, and lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty, I know you are determined to rectify the unhealthy trends in the officialdom, but these people are inextricably linked to other important officials in the court. If you move them lightly, I am afraid it will cause unrest in the court."

Shen Xingxi frowned, "Prime Minister, do you mean that I should let these corrupt officials go and let them ruin the government and harm the people?"

The Prime Minister sighed and looked up at Shen Xingxi, his eyes full of helplessness, "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant. It's just that the power in the court is complicated and intricate, and if you want to rectify it, you must act cautiously and not act too hastily."

"Prime Minister, you didn't listen to a word I said before, so I will say it one last time. All officials in the court who are treacherous and cunning will be stripped of their official positions. Those who abuse their power for personal gain, embezzle and accept bribes will have their stolen money taken back and their official positions removed, or they will be thrown into prison and executed at the Meridian Gate! I want to see who dares to disregard the government again!"

Shen Xingxi's voice was cold and firm, like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the dark corner of the court.

Some ministers lowered their eyes to hide the contempt in their eyes. It was impossible to completely eliminate official corruption in all dynasties, and the emperor was naturally no exception.

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's body trembled slightly. He knew that the Emperor had made up his mind and could not change it.

He sighed softly, and could only sigh again at the emperor's spirit of being fearless like a newborn calf.

But he dared not disobey the order: "Your Majesty is wise, I will do my best to assist Your Majesty in rectifying the officialdom and returning a clean court to the people."

Shen Xingxi nodded. She knew it was impossible to completely prevent it, but only action could reduce the chances of it happening.

"From now on, a separate inspection department will be established, assisted by the prime minister and the minister of finance, to be responsible for supervising the behavior of officials. Once any misconduct is discovered, it will be reported to me immediately for handling.

Strengthen the assessment of officials, give certain rewards to those who have outstanding achievements and are honest, and punish those who are corrupt, accept bribes, and occupy their positions without mercy. "

She stood up and said, "My dear ministers, let me change my clothes and show you the strength of our Feng Dynasty! Send the envoy to see you!"

-

Shen Xingxi changed into a bright red battle robe and led the ministers and envoys to the city wall in a heroic manner.

The Dongliang Kingdom has its own language, and usually communicates with Shen Xingxi through translation.

These days they were sure that Feng Chaoguo's translator could not understand their dialect, called "frog language", and they communicated openly.

"Do you think you can intimidate us by wearing a battle robe? Women are women, and even if they become emperors, they are still shallow-minded."

"I heard that someone called her the female emperor before, but she asked to remove the word female, and said it was normal for a woman to be an emperor, so there was no need to add the word female."

"I think her husband is the prime minister's lackey. She should be the prime minister's puppet. Maybe she exchanged her body for this position."

"In that case, our fifth prince who is coming to marry is quite pitiful. Not only does he have to marry someone, but she is also a slut. However, as long as we make her pregnant, Feng Dynasty will belong to us Dongliang."

"..."

They express their patriotism to their colleagues with malicious speculations, satisfy their evil tastes with vicious words, and look at the world with shallow insights.

But I didn’t know that there are systems in the world.

In a fit of anger, the system directly wrote the translation in golden characters on Mo Hongyun's forehead.

[God is merciful and cannot bear to see a wise ruler being humiliated, so he specially translates the envoys' words.]

The people were attracted by the golden words and looked towards the city wall.

They saw their king being insulted by the envoys from Dongliang State.

For the common people, although they would sigh about a woman becoming an emperor, what they care more about is whether they can have enough food and warm clothing.

How could they not be grateful that their king not only made their lives better, but also gave their children the opportunity to go to school?

What's more, patriotism is something that is ingrained in the bones of kind-hearted people. Feng Dynasty can change someone to be the emperor, but it cannot be a foreigner.

At that moment, the crowd was noisy.

Someone shouted, "I am willing to join the army and beat the Dongliang Kingdom into a pulp. Are any of you willing to join me?"

Someone said: "I am a doctor, I want to be a military doctor!"

Some even picked up kitchen knives and said, "I can cook for the soldiers, and I can also fight in battle! But I absolutely do not agree with the emperor marrying that damn fifth prince! I also do not agree with the marriage!"

Shen Xingxi raised her hand and said calmly, "Be quiet."

Everyone shut up instantly and looked at the emperor standing on the city wall.

"Hearing your patriotism, I am proud of you. Now, come with me and see the true strength of our Feng Dynasty!"

As she finished her words, a "boom" sound was heard in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, thick smoke rose up.
