Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

The late emperor was hit hard, and his health was getting worse day by day. He had no choice but to cut the Gordian knot and sent almost everyone around him to find evidence of crimes committed by the princes and their officials. He also ordered that if the officials reported each other, and the evidence was solid and played a major role, they could offset their own crimes. For a time, the entire court was in a state of panic, afraid of being reported but also afraid of being found out if they did not report. With the interrogation of the people around the princes, more and more people confessed, more and more crimes were exposed, and the number of people implicated and imprisoned began to increase day by day. In just a few days, nearly one-third of the people in the court were gone.

Finally, some people couldn't hold it anymore. They reported or surrendered themselves. Anguo was gloomy and depressed from top to bottom. The previous emperor controlled the military force of the entire Anguo. After the princes were arrested, no one had the ability to do evil. Before the people could figure out the reason, the previous emperor had sent the Imperial Guards and the city defense troops outside the capital to secretly arrest officials who had committed serious crimes in various places. Sima Lie was asked to lead the Sima Army to search the princes' houses. The ministers involved were directly investigated and sentenced by the Ministry of Justice. The biological mothers and maternal grandparents of the princes were either imprisoned, exiled, or beheaded. The previous emperor finally dealt with the chaos of seizing the throne before the deadline, but the entire Anguo fell into another state of chaos and lack of people.

The current emperor ascended the throne at this time. Fortunately, the previous emperor left behind several loyal generals to keep the civil strife at bay and prevent foreign enemies from taking advantage of the situation. The treasury was full due to the confiscation of property, but the consequences of the great turmoil in the court soon became apparent. The court was short of people, and many places had no officials to send. The local noble families and big merchants took the opportunity to seize the land and wealth of the common people, seize the girls of good families, and fight for territory.

The people were suffering, but they had no place to sue. At this time, the Qian family had already occupied a place in Anguo. The head of the Qian family was born in a poor family. He started from scratch and gradually became bigger and stronger with his hard work and sharp mind. He knew that it was not easy for the people. After he had the ability, he tried his best to help the poor. His reputation became better and better, and his business became bigger and bigger. This time, the Qian family not only did not take advantage of the chaos to make money, but also took the initiative to reduce the price and provide more job opportunities for the people who were suffering.

This is how the head of the Qian family caught the eye of the Minister of Revenue. Minister Li of the Ministry of Revenue met the head of the Qian family several times and had a good impression of him. At the critical moment, the Qian family took the lead in stabilizing their stores in various places and cooperated with the court to gradually stabilize the chaos of the Anguo merchants. The efforts of the head of the Qian family moved the ministers of the court and the emperor. Qian Rong, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, entered the palace at this time. Later, she gave birth to the third prince and was named Rong Fei by the emperor.

The Third Prince went to Rong Fei's palace, dismissed the servants, and could not help but ask Rong Fei anxiously: "Mother, all our plans have been disrupted. After the grain seeds were sent down, we have no chance."

"Hao'er, how long will it take for the medicine you gave me to take effect? ​​Mother has given him medicine several times but he still hasn't responded. The imperial physician checked his pulse and didn't find anything abnormal. Is the medicine useless?"

"Impossible. The person who delivered the medicine said that the medicine is tasteless and colorless. There is no reaction after taking it. It must be guided by a medicine to induce the poison to take effect."

"What kind of medicine leads to it?"

The third prince took out a paper bag from his pocket and handed it to Concubine Rong. The two of them whispered and plotted for a while, waiting for Anchen and Xu Zhen to return with the food.

In the court, the Ministry of Revenue consulted the emperor and then all of them went out to study improved varieties and dispatched people to various places to supervise farming. All the new grain varieties were taken to the test fields, and the most experienced people there were asked to test the cultivation according to the instructions.

The person who was sent out rewrote the contents of the instruction manual while walking on the road. The words were missing some parts, and it was difficult for an outsider to guess clearly.

With most of the Ministry of Revenue out, the emperor felt a little relieved. With grain, there would be hope for the next year. He thought about the food problem in the past few months and had a headache again. Many ministers discussed in the court for two days, but there was no feasible plan. The emperor was so annoyed by the noise that he couldn't find a way to get food. He asked someone to call the imperial teacher.

"Master, you have also seen that many ministers have argued for two days but have not been able to get a single grain of rice. In your opinion, is there any hope for this grain? Can the gods still give it to us?"

"Your Majesty, we still have grain in Anguo, but they are unwilling to give it out now. The gods have already given us grain seeds, how can we be greedy? We still have to find a way to get the grain out of the dark."

"Alas, I was forced to sit on this throne. When I first succeeded to the throne, there was no one in the court, chaos everywhere, and the people were suffering. It was the late emperor who left me a few loyal ministers like you. Without your help over the years, I would have gone to see the late emperor long ago. I was afraid of experiencing brothers fighting for the throne again. I only had a few concubines in my life and not many children. But in recent years, as the children grew up, I always had a bad feeling. From the disastrous defeat of Sima Jun, the death of Sima Lie, the disappearance of Sima Yi, to the third brother taking the initiative to do things in recent years, I always feel that some things are not as I see. It is said that now with the help of the gods, I should feel at ease, but just now I always felt that something very bad was going to happen. Imperial Master, please help me calculate."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I have calculated that this time there will be no danger. Moreover, after surviving this disaster, Anguo will rise to prominence. In the near future, Anguo will become a unique and powerful country and provide a peaceful place for the people to live."

"That's good. I'm relieved. The second brother has been out for many days and there has been no news. Is he okay?"

"The noble lady has gone and everything is fine. Your Majesty, please relax, good news will arrive soon."

"Master, don't keep me in suspense. What's the good news? Tell me now, so I can take some time."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the chief eunuch Defu came in and reported: "The emperor's imperial physician has returned and is asking to see him outside the door."

"Proclaim"

"Yes, please come in, imperial doctors."

Several imperial doctors walked into the hall and were exhausted from the journey. They did not even have time to change their clothes and went straight to the palace to report. The emperor could see that the imperial doctors were very tired, so he exempted them from kneeling and asked the eunuchs to bring them stools to sit down and rest.

"We thank the emperor for his consideration. We have fulfilled our mission and completed it successfully!"

"You have worked hard."

An imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, Miss Xu is truly a goddess. No one has died of illness since she appeared. I don't know what magic she used, but after we arrived at the assigned location, the patients there were basically all cured, except for some with milder symptoms. After they were given the medicine Miss Xu gave them, they were basically cured the next day. We observed them for another three days, and there was no relapse at all. We are here to report now."

Another imperial physician said: "It is truly miraculous. In the past, when this kind of plague appeared, there was no medicine available and we could only watch the patients suffer on their own. There were only a few people in a village who could survive. When there was a plague, the entire village or even the entire city would be affected... The consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, we have Miss Xu this time."

"We have an unwelcome request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

"Oh? What's that?"

"Your Majesty, please allow Miss Xu to teach us medical skills. If there is a plague again in the future, we will have a plan to deal with it and there will no longer be a large number of casualties."
