Quick Wear: I and the Female Match Share the Battle Shirt

Xiao Yunkai stepped forward to support Xie Yuanshuang, who was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. With red eyes, he choked and said, "Aunt seemed to know in advance that she was going to die. That night, she suddenly told me that after she left, there was no need to keep the coffin closed and to keep everything simple after her death."

"Was she miserable when she left?"

Xiao Yunkai's tears fell down. "She said she was tired and wanted to sleep, and she drove me out to stop me from keeping watch. I stood at the door for a while, and when I quietly went back to the room to see her, she was gone."

Xie Yuanshuang heard this and cried and laughed: "That's good, leaving so quickly will save me a lot of suffering."

Xie Yuanshuang had someone find a Feng Shui site and built Lu Changqing's tomb in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers on the outskirts of the capital. Two new tombs were also built not far from the tomb, which were the cenotaphs of Fang Ming'e's parents.

When Xiao Yunkai was sorting out the relics left by Lu Changqing, he found two tablets in a large wooden box filled with sundries in the warehouse. One was of normal weight, and the other was thick and heavy. It was obvious that there was something stuck in the tablets.

Xiao Yunkai was curious about what her aunt would put in Fang's father's tablet, so she used a knife to pry open the thin wooden partition outside the tablet, and found a thick rectangular iron plate in the partition.

Lu Changqing, who saw this scene in the system space, scratched her head a little embarrassedly. When she was attacked by Qi Cheng at night, she accidentally smashed the tablet of Fang's father. Thinking that it was too dangerous for a girl to be alone outside, she went to the blacksmith shop and the coffin shop the next day to make such a self-defense weapon. If Qi Cheng dared to come again next time, she would definitely make the other party's head explode. In the end, she worked in vain and never used her new weapon until her death.

Xiao Yunkai thought that although he had never seen her aunt worship her father, she had been carrying her parents' tablets for so many years, which showed that her aunt still had some feelings for her parents. So when he asked the craftsmen to repair her aunt's grave, he also had two pits dug nearby and buried the tablets of the Fang couple in them.

Since Lu Changqing's tomb was repaired, there has been an endless stream of people coming to pay their respects to her every day. On her 100th day, Xie Yuanshuang disguised herself and brought Xiao Yunkai with her to burn paper for her.

"You used to say that you were a fairy from heaven. Since you left so suddenly, I will assume that you were called back to heaven. If you are still alive, please bless my country with good weather and prosperity, and bless me and my children to be well."

Lu Changqing: …

People work for you when they are alive, and they have to work for you even when they are dead. Isn’t that a bit too much?

Lu Changqing's departure did not have much impact on the state affairs of Qi. Xie Yuanshuang held a belated enthronement ceremony for Xiao Yunkai, and the standard of the ceremony was no less than that of her brother's enthronement ceremony as the crown prince.

For this reason, the emperor, who was also sixteen years old, was very dissatisfied. He didn't understand why his mother valued his sister so much?

Xie Yuanshuang called the emperor to her and asked him, "You are the emperor, and your sister is just a princess. What are you dissatisfied with?"

The emperor said confidently: "I am your son, Your Majesty. You are the Empress Dowager, so isn't it natural for me to be the emperor?"

Xie Yuanshuang asked him back: "So? As an emperor, you can't even tolerate your own sister?"

Faced with his mother's questioning, the emperor was very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to disobey his mother. Although he was the Son of Heaven, he had no say in the court.

Seeing that the emperor was speechless, Xie Yuanshuang handed him a memorial and said, "The Northern Rong people are requesting a marriage with us, saying that they want to sign an alliance and have a long-term friendship. They also want to marry your sister. What do you think about this?"

The emperor knew about this, and recently in the court, the ministers had been clamoring about it. Most of them agreed with the marriage, but since his mother had not expressed her opinion, the matter had not been decided.

The emperor took the memorial from Xie Yuanshuang with both hands and took a look at it. The content roughly explained the benefits of this marriage. The emperor saw the last signature and found that it was actually his grandfather, Prime Minister Xie.

The emperor glanced at his mother's face and saw no anger on her face. The signature on the memorial in his hand gave him some courage, and he said, "My son thinks the marriage is a good idea."

Xie Yuanshuang's lips curled up slightly, "So what do you think is good about it?"

Seeing the half-smile on Xie Yuanshuang's face, the emperor regretted that he had made a wrong bet.

"'I wish to serve my country for the rest of my life, why would I need to enter Yumen Pass', your aunt Fang has been trying to follow this sentence for the rest of her life." Xie Yuanshuang's face suddenly turned cold, and she snatched the memorial from the emperor's hand and threw it at his head, cursing angrily: "She spent half a year to attack the capital of Beirong, and defended Yanyun for so many years, just to let you send your sister to marry? You have read all the sage books for so many years, but you have learned nothing but selling your sister for fame?"

The emperor subconsciously raised his hands to hold his head, and the memorial hit his arm and finally fell to the ground.

Seeing that the emperor did not move, Xie Yuanshuang continued to question, "Let's not talk about the fact that our Great Qi has been prosperous in recent years, the people are rich and the army is strong, and we are no longer afraid of those barbarians in the north. Let's talk about Yunkai. That's your sister! Your sister from the same mother! Can you really bear to let her suffer in the bitter cold land in the north?"

The emperor put down his hands that were supporting his head, lowered his head and said nothing.

Xie Yuanshuang got angry when he saw the emperor's cowardly look, "I asked you a question, and you are mute?"

In a place where Xie Yuanshuang couldn't see, the emperor's eyes were full of resentment and anger, but he actively admitted his mistakes: "My son was wrong, and I will leave everything to the Queen's arrangements."

Xie Yuanshuang sneered: "Do you really realize that you are wrong? You don't! You have the same idea as your grandfather and the ministers in the court!"

"Because Yunkai is a princess, she was supported by the people and grew up pampered. Now the country needs her and the people need her, she should stand up and repay the court and the people. This is her responsibility as a princess. Listen, what high-sounding and righteous words! Don't you think it's ridiculous? Aren't you, the emperor, also supported by the people? And your brothers, and those ministers in the court, which one of them is not supported by the people? Then shouldn't you also be dragged to marry?"

The emperor was horrified when he heard this, "Your Majesty, you can't say that!"

Xie Yuanshuang ignored the emperor and called out Xiao Yunkai who had been hiding behind the screen.

"I will hold a banquet in the palace in the name of the emperor's birthday in the near future. Yunkai, you can take this opportunity to choose a husband. After the marriage, you can bring people back to Yanyun to take over your aunt's military power."

When Xiao Yunkai heard about the marriage, he wanted to refuse, but when he heard about the 200,000-man army of Yanyun, he immediately knelt down and said excitedly: "My daughter will definitely fulfill your mission!"

The emperor was not happy when he heard this and immediately objected: "How can Yun Kai, as a princess, lead an army of 200,000? Please think twice!"

"What's wrong with the princess? Your aunt Fang was just a palace maid back then, but she later became a general, didn't she?"

After the marriage, Xie Yuanshuang was very disappointed with her son. Even if he had asked another princess from the royal family to marry in place of his sister, Xie Yuanshuang would not have been as angry as he was now.

Marriage for peace? What the hell! Marriage for peace is reasonable when the country is weak, but marriage for peace is really a shame for those people when the country is strong.

There was no precedent of a princess leading troops in Qi State, so once this matter came out, there was naturally a huge uproar in the court.

Xie Yuanshuang asked the court officials what they thought of the deceased General Yunhui.

The court officials naturally had no right to criticize Lu Changqing's outstanding military achievements, and they all praised her for her unparalleled bravery.

"Then why do you think that Princess Hejia, who was raised by General Yunhui, cannot serve as a general of the Yan army?"

The court officials were speechless for a moment.

Xie Yuanshuang looked at the men whispering to each other in the hall, and she suddenly understood why Lu Changqing insisted on taking Xiao Yun away.

If Xiao Yunkai was left in the palace, she might really grow up to be a spoiled princess, but if she was taken to the border, she would become a brave and combative general.

Xie Yuanshuang knew that Lu Changqing had always been on guard against her, preventing her from returning power to men in the end, so she took Xiao Yunkai away. She had gone from being a praised lady from a noble family to someone who "abuses power". She didn't believe that Xiao Yunkai, who had been brought up by Lu Changqing, would be a virtuous, gentle and kind person.

The calluses on Xiao Yunkai's hands were enough to prove that she was not a gentle and virtuous woman. Lu Changqing never stopped teaching her every day that she was with her. She told Xiao Yunkai everything that had happened in Xie Yuanshuang's life, and told her to learn from her mother's early lessons and not to regard men as everything in her life.

She was also told the stories of Liu E and Wu Zetian. If she didn't want to be like Liu E, she had to be ruthless. If her mother wanted to return power to her brothers or nephews until her death and didn't want to give the position to her, then she should just snatch it away.

Xiao Yunkai took note of it, and in order to help her mother fulfill her wish more quickly, she appointed the most promising son of the Minister of War as her son-in-law.

There was a rule in this dynasty that the emperor's wife was not allowed to serve as an official in the court. She had no feelings for her husband, who was a romantic, suave and knowledgeable man. In her eyes, he was just a tool for her to get pregnant.

With his career ruined, the prince consort naturally had many complaints against Xiao Yunkai. Xiao Yunkai was not the kind of person who would flatter someone and then get rejected. Moreover, she was busy with official business every day and had no time to play the game of love and affection with the prince consort under the moonlight.

When the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, there will naturally be trouble in the backyard. When Xiao Yun was seven months pregnant, the prince consort brought a beautiful woman back home and said that the woman was pregnant with his child and wanted to take her as a concubine.

Xiao Yunkai thought that it might be because she didn't pay much attention to her husband-in-law on a daily basis, which led him to think that she had a good temper. Before she even started looking for a lover, her husband-in-law started looking for sisters for her.

Xiao Shankai personally beat the prince consort up. As for the woman, no matter whether she was pregnant or not, he would send her back to where she came from.

The prince consort was lying on the bed, cursing Xiao Yunkai for being a jealous woman. She said that she would not allow him to find other women to relieve his pain just because she was not feeling well. She threatened that once her injuries healed, she would take in ten or eight concubines to piss her off to death.

Xiao Yunkai was not angry. She told him to take any girl he wanted after his injury healed. If he took one girl, she would sell one. If she was pregnant, she would wait until the baby was born and then sell both mother and child together.

Consort:......

Xiao Yunkai said this deliberately to anger the prince consort. The laws of Qi allowed the selling of concubines, but there was no provision for selling illegitimate sons and daughters.

After ten months of pregnancy, God blessed her with a girl. Xiao Yunkai cried with joy as she looked at the baby in the cradle.

Xiao Yunkai was even more ruthless than Lu Changqing thought. She had already decided that if this baby was a son, he would be destined to be a stillbirth.

Even if she can't get that position, she will do her best to pave the way for her daughter, and no accidents must happen during this period.

After resting for two days, Xiao Yunkai asked someone to bring her pen and ink. She wanted to write two divorce letters, one to her husband, and the other to be sent to the capital to inform her mother of the matter.

The princess divorced her husband. Xiao Yunkai was the first person in the world to do so.

When the prince consort returned home with the woman with a protruding belly in his arms, he received the bad news that she was divorced. The prince consort left the woman behind and wanted to find Xiao Yunkai to ask for an explanation.

Xiao Yunkai directly ordered the two men to be thrown out, including the servants that the prince consort brought from the capital, all of them were kicked out.

The prince consort was so angry that he asked people to spread the news in the city that Xiao Yunkai was jealous and intolerant, but the people in the city didn't care at all.

The people of Yanyun may not know who the current emperor is, but they must know who the general is who commands Yanyun’s 200,000 troops.

As a time-traveling woman, she would certainly not neglect the improvements in agriculture and handicrafts.

Lu Changqing originally chose to build his government in Youzhou because of its climate and geographical location. At this time, the climate in Yanyun was relatively humid.

Agriculture is actually the most difficult area to deal with, because with current technology, it is impossible to produce good varieties, and without fertilizers and pesticides, it is really difficult to increase grain production.

It doesn’t matter if the grain yield is low. At worst, she can just reclaim the land. She has 200,000 soldiers. She can farm when she’s busy and train soldiers when she’s free.

As for handicrafts, food, clothing, housing and transportation, Lu Changqing first thought of clothing, so she improved the loom and built a weaving factory. She did not intend to compete with others for the high-end market such as silk. In this world, there are always more poor people than rich people. She mainly competes in the two markets of linen and cotton.

She first recruited female workers, then opened a girls' school, then began to recruit female soldiers, and finally started the imperial examination for women... It was a beautiful idea, but when she was halfway through her business, her body could no longer support her, and she died.

Xiao Yunkai inherited his will and returned to Yanyun to continue the work that Lu Changqing had failed to complete. Xiao Yunkai also understood that if she had the misfortune to confront her brothers in the capital in the future, Yanyun would be her most powerful trump card.

The local people knew who had brought them the good life they had today, so even if the princess had just divorced her husband or killed him directly, they would have pretended not to know.

Of course, not everyone thinks so. There are always some sour Confucian scholars who jump up and down under the banner of maintaining etiquette. Xiao Yunkai asked people to collect all the information of those who wrote articles to scold her, and investigate their ancestors for eighteen generations. When she returns to Beijing, these people will be punished one by one, and when the imperial examination comes, no one in three generations will be able to pass the palace examination.

Although the former prince consort who returned to Beijing with his child and concubine regained his freedom and even won the imperial examination two years later, his official career was very unsuccessful. Everyone in the court knew that this was the empress dowager venting her anger on Princess Hejia who was thousands of miles away.

When the emperor was 20 years old, someone fearlessly petitioned to let the empress dowager return power to the emperor. Xie Yuanshuang agreed, and the emperor was overjoyed. However, after taking over, he found all kinds of constraints. The court officials did not listen to him at all and still followed the empress dowager's lead. The emperor had no choice but to ask the empress dowager to leave again, and Xie Yuanshuang was able to continue to rule the country.

The emperor died of illness at the age of 29, and Xie Yuanshuang once again took his 11-year-old grandson to the chair.

What followed was the same old miracles. Under the "guidance" of the gods, the young emperor abdicated the throne to Xie Yuanshuang. Xie Yuanshuang, then 56 years old, finally ushered in an era that belonged to her alone.
