Looking at his unloved son, he had already walked towards the gate when the old emperor cursed for the first time. Even though there were thousands of curses behind him, they could no longer stop him.

After returning to the Changle Palace after a long absence, Lu Changning sat down on the recliner in the yard with a tired body. He covered himself with a thin blanket as usual and watched Butler Fu busying around happily.

Qiu Yue came over with tea and gently placed the water on the table: "Master, what's going on?"

Lu Changning shook his head: "Failed, pack up and prepare to ascend the throne."

Seeing his master's depressed look, Qiu Yue raised his lips slightly: "Master, don't worry too much. I have thought of some countermeasures to deal with the powerful in recent days. The boat will straighten itself out when it reaches the bridgehead. The beam will not fall in your hands."

Hearing Qiu Yue's words, Lu Changning hurriedly picked up the plan prepared by Qiu Yue. It must be said that this man is worthy of being the regent, his brain is really useful.

"It would be great if you have a plan. The old emperor's curse on me will not come true. Jingming, whether I will be remembered for a hundred years or be infamous for a thousand years depends entirely on you."

"What? The old emperor cursed you?" Qiu Yue's brows suddenly frowned when he heard it: "How could he curse his own son?"

"It's no big deal. He just wants to see my country destroyed. If I save Liang, he will be so angry that he will die in the underworld." Speaking of his father, Lu Changning suddenly thought of Qiu Yue's father: "By the way, didn't your father go to Beijing? How is he now?"

When Qiu Yue mentioned his father, his face darkened. "He used to live with us, but he didn't change his bad habits. He even stole money from home to gamble. I asked Uncle Fu to help close down the gambling house. All the gamblers, including my father, were thrown into jail. I thought I would release him after he quit gambling in jail. I'll keep him well fed and well fed, and he'll be fine."

This... idea actually coincided with his. Lu Changning felt that he seemed to have become smarter and could actually get along with the Regent. This was simply a great event for the Lu family to bring glory to their ancestors! Their royal family must have been blessed by their ancestors to have such a good grandson. But his bastard father was still not satisfied.

Thinking of his father, Lu Changning felt aggrieved. He didn't feel it when he was in the hall, but after he came back, he became angrier and angrier. How could he curse someone like that? If the original owner heard it, wouldn't he be upset to death? I wonder if the original owner's final bad behavior was related to his father.

The news that Lu Changning had been named the Crown Prince had been announced to the world in the past two days, and everyone knew that their most distant prince had become their future master.

Look, in the past two days, the gate of Changle Palace has been trampled by people, but Lu Changning has not seen a single one. Every day he just stays in bed in a daze, thinking about his life that is about to end in darkness.

The imperial concubine died, and the old prince soon followed.

When Lu Changning heard the news, he was not surprised at all, but felt very sad: "The New Year is almost here, and it happens to be a national mourning. This is forcing me to ascend the throne before the New Year."

Qiu Yue carefully prepared clothes for Lu Changning and carefully hid the snacks he brought with him: "Master, eat when you are hungry later, don't let yourself suffer."

Lu Changning said, Qiu Yue, you are really overthinking. His father wants him to die, so how could Lu Changning be sad for him?

The ceremony was carried out step by step in an orderly manner. The eldest prince looked at the pale-faced Lu Changning beside him and sneered, "I really didn't expect that my father had deceived all of us. It turns out that the person he loves the most is you."

Lu Changning looked up at the eldest prince, hid the tear-generating artifact he had asked for from the doctor, straightened his slightly messy hair, and said proudly, "Of course, after you left, my father talked about his love for me for a long time and apologized to me. He said that I was the legitimate son, but he ignored me, and he knew he was wrong. He also said that he was sorry to my mother and would repay her by working like a cow or a horse in the next life."

The eldest prince nodded: "Father has come to his senses and finally sees the true face of the imperial concubine."

As he was speaking, Lu Changning looked at the imperial concubine's coffin being carried out from a distance and immediately ordered: "Hasn't my fourth brother's coffin been transported to his fiefdom in the northwest? Move the imperial concubine's tomb there as well. They have such a good relationship as mother and son, it's not good to separate them."

The eldest prince looked at Lu Changning and hesitantly advised: "Isn't the imperial concubine a sacrificial victim? How can she be buried with her son..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Changning stopped him by waving his hand: "How can the emperor of Daliang allow people to be buried alive with him? The imperial concubine died of illness because she missed her son so much, how can we reject the love of this mother for her son? Order that the coffins of my father and my mother be buried together. No, my mother may not be happy. Forget it, put them separately and put a few of my grandfather's tablets in my father's coffin. He missed his mentor in the end."

The ministers beside him were very moved: "What your Highness has done not only preserves the love between the imperial concubine and her son, but also protects your majesty's reputation. Old Chen is impressed."

Lu Changning waved his hands, indicating that they were all small matters. One was in the northwest, the other was in the southeast. This was the kind of thing he loved to do. If you dare to curse me and trip me up, I will see how your family of three can be reunited underground.

Lu Changning secretly decided in his heart: When I return, I will separate you two and reincarnate you to the east and the west. The time zone is only several hours apart, I wonder how you can be together.

......

The new emperor ascended the throne, the whole country celebrated, Lu Changning successfully entered the imperial city and became the new ruler of Daliang. However, looking at this country bound by layers of chains, he couldn't force out a smile.

"Jingming, let's expand the number of students for the imperial examination next year."

Qiu Yue had been assigned to the imperial court to help Lu Changning handle various cases. However, because he had just taken over this area, the official duties were heavy and he stayed by the new emperor's side almost every day.

Qiu Yue was handling a case at a table nearby, and nodded in response: "We need to recruit some officials. The efficiency of various departments is low right now. Work that can be completed in three days is taking several months."

"This imperial examination must be conducted fairly and impartially to prevent them from taking advantage of loopholes. Jingming, you go and watch it in person."

Qiu Yue naturally knew the importance of this imperial examination and promised earnestly: "Don't worry, it will be fair and just."

The imperial examination is the most common and most important means for ordinary people to change their fate. Of course, it is also a sharp tool for the aristocratic families to grasp power. This imperial examination is to prepare for the cleansing of the court. This corrupt and filthy court really needs an influx of fresh blood.

Fortunately, he had Qiu Yue's help, and a large group of outstanding talents were selected and quickly put into various departments by Lu Changning to hone their skills. At the same time, the purge of the court also began slowly.

To deal with the powerful landlords among the people, Lu Changning directly used the method of allocating taxes to each acre. The more land a person owned, the more taxes he had to pay. As for those who resisted, he would use his power as an emperor. The army would directly suppress them. As for the ministers who were involved with the powerful, he would pull out the radish and the mud, and just eradicate them together.

The reform process was slowly but surely implemented, with orders being sent from the central government to the local governments. Ten years later, Liang State was no longer what it used to be.
