Wearing a book, hooking him up

In the fourth year of Chongwu, Jun Zechen, with his extraordinary military talent and extremely strong national strength, recovered the four countries of Canglang, Yuehui, Lingyu and Yuelin in one fell swoop, thereby expanding the vast territory for his country and causing the imperial land area of ​​his country to increase by 320 million square miles.

However, Jun Zechen's move is not just a simple occupation of the territories of the four countries. The most important thing is the great cause of national integration and unification that touches the souls of the people of each country.

In the following years, Jun Zechen successfully persuaded the four countries to sincerely recognize Jun's rule through a series of forward-looking and far-sighted measures.

We vigorously promoted the policy of unified writing to ensure unimpeded communication between countries and to enable knowledge and ideas to be widely disseminated over a wider range.

At the same time, the strategy of cultural penetration was cleverly implemented, allowing the excellent culture of the monarchy to take root and sprout in the four countries, and gradually integrate into the daily lives of the local people.

The four-nation marriage further closely linked the blood ties of the countries, and this closer relationship laid a solid foundation for peace and integration.

At the political ruling level, Jun Zechen implemented a strategy of combining firmness and flexibility, which not only demonstrated the supreme authority of the monarchy, but also granted the four countries a certain degree of autonomy, making them feel respected and trusted.

In the field of economic integration, Jun Zechen also actively promotes trade between countries, promotes resource sharing, and achieves common development, which has led to the increasing prosperity of the economies of the four countries and a significant improvement in the living standards of the people.

In the sixth year of Chongwu, Jun Zechen issued an imperial edict, the contents of which were:

[I have inherited the mandate of Heaven and have ruled the country for six years. Fortunately, I have the protection of my ancestors and the cooperation of civil officials and military generals. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prospering.

Today, the world is at peace and our territory is vast. I think of the great achievements of previous emperors. In order to realize my ambitions and create a new chapter of prosperity, from now on, I will change the monarchy into the Holy King's Dynasty.

I hope that all the subjects of our dynasty can uphold loyalty and righteousness, work diligently and study hard, fulfill their duties, and jointly create the glory of the dynasty.

I should also work hard to govern the country, recruit talented people, and implement benevolent policies to the people, so that the holy monarchy and the imperial dynasty will last for thousands of years and enjoy eternal peace.

Announce it to the whole world, and let everyone know. 】

With the official establishment of the Holy Emperor Dynasty, the reputation of Emperor Jun Zechenrensheng spread far and wide, attracting all nations to come and pay homage.

Whether it is the Seabuckthorn Kingdom deep in the desert or other countries across the oceans, envoys from various countries have come to this prosperous land in an endless stream, carrying invaluable gifts and sincere respect, to witness the brilliant scene and supreme glory of the Holy King's Dynasty.

The seventh year of Chongwu, spring.

The Rensheng Emperor and the Empress embarked on their first southern tour after ascending the throne, with their destination being Jiangzhou, an area with the most beautiful scenery in spring.

Although Jun Zechen's southern tour was not concealed from the world, the specific route of Jun Zechen's southern tour was kept secret, and no one knew in which state or city Jun Zechen would appear.

General Ye Lan led the army, disguised as guards, and escorted the emperor and empress all the way.

Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao disguised themselves as ordinary merchants and headed south.

In Yicheng, Jiangzhou, Anshun purchased a house full of Jiangnan charm in advance.

Although Jun Zechen was on a southern tour, he still needed to have special soldiers deliver memorials to him every three days for his review.

For Su Jingyao, this journey was the most pleasant time since she entered the palace. She did not have to take care of the affairs of the six palaces and could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers of the dynasty every day.

On this trip, Su Jingyao only brought Miaoxia and Miaoyue.

Miaoxia helped her dress up and Miaoyue cooked for her, and Su Jingyao couldn't bear to part with the two of them.

However, Su Jingyao is now training palace maids to replace Miaoxia and the other four.

They have followed Su Jingyao for a long time, and Su Jingyao does not want to waste their lives, so she will definitely find a good family for them so that they can live in peace and happiness.

Miaoyun and Miaoxue stayed in the palace because Su Jingyao affirmed their abilities.

Miaoyun is now the main force in Kunning Palace besides Nanny Lin. With her around, Su Jingyao can feel at ease when leaving the palace.

Miaoxue was good at handling matters such as account books, so she was kept in the palace.

In the study.

It has been the second day since Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen arrived in Yicheng.

Yesterday, Jun Zechen accompanied Su Jingyao on a secret visit to the city to inspect the people's sentiments and was very satisfied with the governance of Yicheng.

Today, Jun Zechen was busy dealing with memorials in his study, and he had to inspect the water conservancy project tomorrow.

The emperor's southern tour was not just for eating, drinking and having fun. His daily schedule was fully packed, and even these actions were recorded in history books.

While Jun Zechen was concentrating on the memorials, Su Jingyao felt really bored standing by.

She paced around the study room bored, flipping through the books on the shelf, her eyes wandering and her interest lacking.

Although she loved reading in the palace on weekdays, now that she had left the palace and the world outside was so colorful, her heart had long flown to the streets.

Su Jingyao walked slowly to Jun Zechen's side and said coquettishly, "Husband, I want to go out."

Jun Zechen raised his head when he heard this. "I haven't finished reviewing the memorials today. After I finish my work tomorrow, how about I take Yaoyao out for a walk?"

When Su Jingyao heard this, her expression changed slightly.

It wasn't like she had to have him with her to go out, and she wouldn't have as much fun with him around.

"Husband, I want to go out by myself."

Su Jingyao spoke in a soft, flattering and coquettish voice.

"No."

Jun Zechen refused without hesitation, his brows instantly furrowed and his face became serious.

Whenever he took her out these days, so many people looked at her intentionally or unintentionally. Her appearance was the best in the harem. Even with a veil, her outstanding temperament and graceful figure were still particularly outstanding.

If he wasn't here, wouldn't there be more people coveting her?

Su Jingyao was a little dissatisfied when she heard his decisive rejection. "Why?"

Jun Zechen quickly and gently pulled her into his arms, patted her back gently, and said softly, "Be good, I'll take Yaoyao out tomorrow."

Su Jingyao pursed her lips and said angrily, "I'm going out now."

Then she broke free from his embrace and turned around to instruct Anshun, "Anshun, prepare the carriage and guards. If my husband doesn't agree, I will go out alone."

After saying that, he walked out of the study angrily without waiting for Jun Zechen's consent.

"Yao Yao!"

Anshun looked at His Majesty with an embarrassed expression, at a loss as to what to do.

Jun Zechen's face darkened instantly, and he said sternly: "Send someone to protect Madam. If Madam gets into any trouble, you will be held responsible."

"Yes, Third Master."

Because there were servants hired by Anshun in this mansion, Anshun addressed His Majesty and the Queen as "Master" and "Madam".

Su Jingyao was sitting in the carriage, with Miaoxia beside her.

At this time, the carriage was driving on the most prosperous and noisy street in Yicheng. Suddenly, a noisy shouting sounded over.

It seemed that two teahouses were arguing and cursing with each other? But I actually heard a woman's loud voice.

Su Jingyao became interested and said, "Stop."

After the carriage slowly stopped, she lifted the curtain on one side and took a closer look. It was a teahouse called Mingxiang Yige.

There were several women in their thirties standing outside, announcing the opening of the teahouse. Their voices were high and clear: "The teahouse is open today. Not only is the tea half price, but there are also many free cakes."

Su Jingyao was slightly surprised.

In the imperial dynasty, the status of women was not very high. It was generally emphasized that "men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world." Women doing business were often regarded as violating their duties and thus suffered criticism and discrimination.

The laws of the dynasty imposed many restrictions on women's commercial activities. For example, in terms of property rights and the right to sign contracts, women might be far inferior to men.

Therefore, even in the capital, Su Jingyao had never seen a woman doing business.

Even though she had opened many shops in her boudoir to make money, she had never shown herself in public.

At this time, Miaoxia, who had lifted the curtain on the other side, also curiously poked her head outside and said, "Master, this is also a teahouse called Cuilan Tea House. It seems that the two sides are competing with each other?"

"Go down and have a look."

Miaoxia put the veil on her master, then got off the carriage first. She reached out her hand outside the carriage to support her master, her movements gentle and respectful.
