Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

After watching TV programs for several months, the humanistic concepts contained in them deeply touched the emperor's inner world and had a profound and significant impact on him. The impact of this series of concepts made him begin to re-examine and revise the way of governing the country that he had always believed in.

Newspapers became his must-read material every day, because new things in the outside world emerged like mushrooms after rain, so even though he was in the palace, his mind had already drifted outside the palace. Every day, he longed to be able to personally devote himself to the career he truly loved.

This moment was a perfect opportunity, and the emperor had made up his mind. He knew very well that such reforms would inevitably encounter many obstacles, but from the perspective of the country's long-term development, it would be of great benefit. He was determined to help his son clear all obstacles and pass on the throne as soon as possible.

Then the emperor slammed the table with a deafening sound, and shouted: "This matter has been finalized, no need to discuss it further! If anyone dares to violate the law, they will be severely punished!"

As the emperor's words fell, the palace gradually returned to calm. Everyone knew that the history of Anguo was about to open a new chapter. Since King Chen and the Queen of the Goddess took the lead as an example, the others could only reluctantly accept it with pleasure.

After the court session, An Chen frowned and said, "Father, I only have this plan, why did you give the order directly?"

His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said earnestly: "I have been mediocre all my life and have not done much for the people. Since you have such an idea, it means it is beneficial. You should give me this opportunity, so that I can leave something worth remembering in the long river of history."

An Chen looked worried and responded, "But father, you know that there will be a lot of opposition. If you issue an order to implement this plan, I'm afraid it will be opposed by many ministers."

At this time, King Jing stepped forward and said firmly: "Chen'er, you don't have to worry. You should focus on the things that are really important. You can do everything that is beneficial to the country and the people. As for those things that may cause controversy and opposition, your father and I will bear this responsibility." King Jing's eyes were full of determination and responsibility, as if he was ready to face difficulties and challenges.

The emperor nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "You are right, my brother. We old guys can do something for you young people. Besides, through these few months of study, I have found that many women are also very capable. If they can be put to useful places, they may not be worse than men."

King Jing nodded and continued, "That's true. Another point is that monogamy, a clean harem, no intrigue, and all children in the family can be treated equally. This way, the entire harem is stable, and in the court, the ministers can work wholeheartedly for the country."

This decision is of epoch-making significance. The future of Anguo will undergo tremendous changes as a result. Once the concept of gender equality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the social atmosphere of Anguo will be completely renewed, providing women with more solid protection in love and marriage.

After a long period of hard work and careful cultivation, the grain finally ushered in a grand harvest! The good news quickly spread throughout the country.

The emperor's father-in-law, the Minister of Revenue, was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Since the strange stone fell, they haven't had a harvest for almost three years.

I didn't expect the immortals' crops to be so powerful. This year's harvest is equal to their harvests in previous years. If the harvest is like this in the future, why worry about the people not having enough food? They are so rich in Anguo!

What he didn't expect was that the harvest in the northern border accounted for nearly half of the national harvest. In the past, it was very cold there, and there were very few people living there, let alone crops. So they never thought that the land there could produce so much food.

From now on, their Ministry of Revenue would no longer have to worry about running out of food in the warehouse.

The first group of people who returned home from Jiulong Gorge also witnessed the harvest of crops, which further demonstrated the great power of the goddess, and they believed in her words without a doubt.

After the harvest, nearly half of them chose to pass on the message to the prince and princess through the Guisha Gate or local government, expressing their willingness to work with the goddess.

Once this news spread, some people could no longer sit still and reported it to the court.

"Your Majesty, if the people all follow Prince Chen and Princess Chen to do things, how can our country be stable? The people should only be loyal to you, Your Majesty!"

"What you said makes sense. Who else agrees?"

"Your Majesty, I think this is wrong! Prince Chen and Princess Chen are dedicated to the welfare of the people of our country. It can be said that without the Goddess Princess, we would not be where we are today. What's wrong with the people doing things for them? Isn't doing things for them also doing things for our country? Isn't it also being loyal to Your Majesty?"

"But now the people only see Prince Chen and the Princess. Where is Your Majesty?"

"Are you worrying too much?"

"Your Majesty, I am not exaggerating. Nowadays, the people in the streets and alleys are singing praises to Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

The emperor couldn't help but ask, "What do you want me to do?"

The minister thought the emperor had listened to him, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, the power held by the king and the princess is too great. Now the six ministries are capable of handling their own affairs. Please order the king and the princess to delegate their power to the six ministries."

The ministers looked at him like a fool. Now, my brother has just entered a stage of rapid development. Without the leadership of Prince Chen and the Princess, and the support of the Goddess's magical instruments, they don't know what will happen in the future?

What did this person rely on to make such a statement? Did he forget about the Qian family leader who was just executed, Chen Yan and other members of Prince Hao's party?

Prince Hao is now idiotic, and the Qian family took the initiative to admit that it was all instigated by him and was primarily responsible. The emperor showed mercy to Prince Hao and spared his life, and now he has been sent to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb.

By the way, this person is a distant relative of Prince Hao's mother's family. Could he think that if the emperor spared Prince Hao, Prince Hao would have a chance to turn things around in the future?

Thinking of this, the ministers silently stood further away from him. They were afraid that this man's stupidity would infect them. The emperor was merciful and did not implicate the Qian family. This man was not only ungrateful, but also tried to sow discord. It seemed that his career had come to an end. Maybe we wouldn't see him in the court tomorrow. Thinking of this, the ministers stood further away from him again.

This man thought that he fought for power for the six ministries, and the officials of the six ministries would be grateful to him. But seeing them distance themselves from him again and again, he began to feel uneasy.

The Emperor: "I know you have good intentions. Now, I still have two sons. My second son is not interested in the court, but only wants to do business. My eldest son, Prince Chen, is the war god of our An country, and now he has the help of the goddess. I have long wanted to make him the crown prince, but he has been reluctant to accept it. Since you have brought it up today, I will issue an order to make Prince Chen the crown prince from now on. From now on, all state affairs will be governed by the crown prince. I am old and my body is no longer able to do it. From now on, I will just assist the crown prince!"

The man was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kept saying, "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life."

The Emperor: "Go away. Since you have a problem with him, you don't have to attend court tomorrow. Go home and enjoy your leisurely life."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, two guards came in, took off his court hat, took off his official uniform, and dragged him out of the hall.

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted three times, "Long live the emperor, his wisdom!"

An Chen and Xu Zhen were speechless after receiving the imperial edict, so much so that they wondered if that person was specially arranged by their father?

If the emperor were here, he would definitely give him a slap in the face. Your father is the emperor, and he is busy with all kinds of affairs every day. How can he have the time to do these despicable things?

An Chen went to the palace, hoping to change the emperor's mind. The emperor was shameless and refused to withdraw the order, saying that it was not in accordance with the imperial decree.

An Chen: "Father, you are in good health now, you can still rule for a few more decades. Why do you have to lock your son in the deep palace?"

The emperor said pitifully, "You unfilial son, you also know that this palace is a yoke, why don't you pity your father. I have been on the throne for more than 30 years, and I have lost too much. I am tired, so please be merciful and understand your old father."

An Chen: "Father, I still have a lot of things to do. If I stay in the palace, can I let Zhenzhen go alone?"

The emperor looked at Xu Zhen pitifully, silently asking for support.

Xu Zhen looked at the two of them and found it quite funny. The other royal families were fighting to the death for the throne, but they just wanted to stay away from them.

Think about it, once you enter my palace, it's like entering a deep sea. Under the current imperial system, it's really difficult for the emperor to leave the palace. She looked at the pitiful emperor and really couldn't bear to refuse.

He has been confined to things he doesn't like all his life. Now that he is old, letting him pursue his own interests is also a way of showing filial piety to him.

So Xu Zhen said to An Chen: "Father is right. He has been working hard for decades. Since you have the ability, help him."

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this. Was he finally free? He had to travel to every corner of Anguo to see what the country he had governed for 30 years was like.

An Chen asked in disbelief: "You don't want to leave me alone in this high-walled compound, do you?"

Xu Zhen said seriously: "It's time for you to take responsibility. Why, you don't want to?"

An Chen: "I will definitely take responsibility, but you can't leave me alone in the palace."

Xu Zhen: "There are so many things to do every day, so many memorials to review. If you are not in the palace, who will help you do it?"

An Chen looked at the emperor again and begged, "Father, please have mercy on your son. I don't want to be separated from my wife!"

The emperor had worked so hard to form an alliance and get rid of his shackles, how could he possibly agree to this?

He shook his head repeatedly and said, "Now that you are destined to be your lover, forget about the romantic relationship. Otherwise, I will just abdicate to you."

An Chen's heart was broken when he heard this. He said, "Father would never allow you to betray his son like this."

Seeing that the great war god prince was sweating with anxiety, Xu Zhen stopped teasing him and said seriously, "Have you read all those books?"

An Chen didn't react for a moment and asked, "What do you mean, Zhenzhen? What book?"

Xu Zhen: "Didn't you draw a map of the functions of national institutions? How come you forgot it so quickly?"

An Chen was instantly overjoyed. He said, "Yes, I really forgot about this. That's great, let's give it a try. I don't want to be an emperor who is imprisoned for life after entering the palace."

The emperor was confused and asked, "If the emperor is not in the palace, where else can he go?"

So An Chen explained the mind map he had drawn and re-drew it for the emperor to see.

After hearing this, the emperor praised: "It is indeed a good idea. Why didn't anyone think of it before? I have endured 30 years in the palace for nothing."

An Chen: "Father, you still have a chance."

As soon as the emperor heard this, he knew that his son was trying to trick him again. After his son finally threw out a trick, he refused to accept it and firmly rejected it.

Xu Zhen: "Don't make things difficult for my father. Let him go out with my mother. People really can't be imprisoned in one place throughout their lives. That would be too cruel to them."

The emperor quickly took over the conversation and said, "You are still really filial, so your father will listen to you."

As he spoke, the emperor called Defu and ordered, "Pass on my decree. From tomorrow on, the crown prince will be the regent."

An Chen was speechless. How afraid was his father that he would regret it? Well, Zhenzhen was right. Let him live the life he likes!

Just as the three of them finished their discussion, Concubine Hui's maid came hurriedly to find the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui has fainted."

"How could it be? Did you call the imperial physician?"

"Your Majesty, I have already called him."

"Come on, take me to see you."

In Huifei's palace, when the emperor and the other two arrived, the imperial doctors had already gone in to check her pulse. The emperor went directly to Huifei's bedroom in the back hall, and looked at the woman's pale face, feeling distressed.

He asked the imperial physician: "What's going on?"

The imperial physician replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui seems to be pregnant, but the month is still young and we are not sure yet."

The emperor was surprised and asked, "Are you really pregnant?"

"Your Majesty, the month is too early, and we are incompetent to confirm it. Concubine Hui is weak and it is not easy for her to get pregnant, so we dare not draw any conclusions."

Upon hearing this, the emperor ran out of the hall excitedly and called Xu Zhen.

"Zhenzhen, don't you have that advanced equipment? Go and take a look."

Xu Zhen followed the emperor into the back hall and used a scanner to find that Concubine Hui was not only pregnant, but also pregnant with twins.

"Father, congratulations! Or twins?"

"really?"

"It's just that her body hasn't fully recovered yet, so she must be taken good care of. Now that she's pregnant with twins, she needs even more careful care."

"Indeed, the affairs of the court will be handed over to you two, Chen'er, from now on. I, as a father, will take good care of my wife and children."

What a speechless reason!

Xu Zhen: "As long as you are happy! As long as An Chen agrees."

Now that Concubine Hui is pregnant with twins, it is a rare opportunity, and the emperor decided to seize it. It would be best if the imperial seal could be passed down. Looking at his eldest son, the emperor was full of thoughts and was thinking hard about how to speak.
