Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Just like that, Zhang Qianqian went completely crazy after knowing that all her family members were dead, but Prince Rui still made Zhang Qianqian his concubine. Even though she was crazy, he still took good care of her. All this was just because she gave birth to a good son, Zhou Qingyun. The brilliance he showed in the court at a young age directly suppressed all the emperor's sons. Even the children born to another concubine in the mansion were not as favored as Zhou Qingyun.

This made the emperor like Zhou Qingyun even more, and he has now brought him by his side to learn how to govern the country. Zhou Qingyun's intelligence and speed of learning are unmatched by any other princes and grandchildren of the emperor. He has even taken over half of the royal secret guards, but he has not told anyone else, not even his father.

Zhou Qingyun's methods were even more brutal than those of the crown prince. Even though he knew that his maternal family had made mistakes, he never begged for mercy and was even able to watch them get into trouble coldly. This made it difficult for Zhang Qianqian to accept how her son could become so cold-blooded. You know, when she was raising the children before, she always told him to pay attention to family affection, and even her own identity in the East Palace was rather awkward. Zhou Qingyun lived in the Zhang family half of the year, so how could he become like this now?

How could it become like this after only two years of leaving? Not only did he personally put his own grandfather's family in jail, but he also executed them according to the law. This scared many people who wanted to watch the fun. After all, the relationship between Zhou Qingyun and the Zhang family was known to everyone. How could he be so cruel? Not only did the people in the family dare not look directly at Zhou Qingyun now, but those in the court who were waiting to see the joke fell silent. Some people who originally supported other princes were also very honest at this time.

Zhou Qingyun has learned a lot in the past year and a half since he lived alone with Wang Shiyu and the others, especially Wang Shiyu's way of dealing with people and the knowledge and methods taught by Mr. Liu. Except for how he treated the Wang family, he was soft-hearted and guilty at first, but later he got to know the true face of the Wang family. After that, he treated everyone in the Wang family as a stranger. He also told Zhou Qingyun about the methods he used against the Wang family and the Wang family's needs for them, so that he could understand the truth of the matter.

Although the Zhang family seemed to treat Zhou Qingyun very well, that was all. Even when other relatives of the Zhang family came, they had the same attitude. It was just better than the Eastern Palace, so he was always grateful. Later, when he saw how Mo Ruru treated her daughter and son, he realized that the Zhang family just wanted to train him to be a puppet.

He naturally knew the consequences of nepotism, and the Zhang family was scheming against him. They didn't treat him as a grandson at all. Even his own grandfather Zhang Jie was the same way. If Wang Shiyu hadn't discovered it in time and saved him from this disaster, he would have died in the Zhang family's scheme. After all, treason is a capital crime.

So when it was time to leave, he left without hesitation. This was not the case after returning to Jinling. After this period of training, Zhou Qingyun had become more and more calm and even had the intention of surpassing King Rui. He even had a lot of people supporting him, many of whom were staunch royalists. He knew who had instructed him to do so.

Even the emperor had such thoughts in his heart. After all, his son was too kind, and it would be better for him to be a king who maintained the status quo without losing the bearing of a ruler.

But now the dynasty is in turmoil, and it is not suitable for a soft-hearted emperor to succeed to the throne. On the contrary, Zhou Qingyun's methods are more ruthless than Prince Rui, but his methods of winning people's hearts are just as powerful. Even when dealing with things, he will not be nepotistic. He is a good material to be an emperor.

The emperor was already somewhat afraid of the methods of this boy who was only seventeen years old. After all, Wang Shiyu had taught him much more than just that, and the two of them even communicated frequently.

Sometimes when Wang Shiyu wrote back, she would borrow some methods from the early days of the founding of the country, and use severe punishments in troubled times. Zhou Qingyun followed suit and even made some improvements. Now the Dazhou Dynasty is much more stable, and they have started to hold imperial examinations and martial arts examinations to select talents. This time, the imperial examinations and martial arts examinations are not only for the aristocratic families, but more for the poor people. Even though the aristocratic families are very dissatisfied at this time, they did not provoke Zhou Qingyun, who is now like a madman.

After all, if you provoke this madman, he will plot against you madly in his heart, but he will not show it on his face. Just like when he just came back and entered the court, he was still timid and people looked down on him. Many people did not take it to heart at the time.

As soon as he arrived, he went straight to the Ministry of Revenue, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue had been trying to make things difficult for the son of Prince Rui, because he belonged to another prince and after all, he would not allow others to snore beside his bed.

Zhou Qingyun patiently endured for a year, and gradually gained a foothold in the court, and even won over his own people. He then took the evidence and threw the family of the Minister of Revenue into the Sky Prison, but they were beheaded the next day. Without any trial, they were directly charged with the crime of colluding with foreign races and implicated nine clans.

There was no time for others to react. The current Zhou Qingyun was no longer the Zhou Qingyun who had just entered the court a year ago. Not only did he have his own connections, but his methods were also extremely ruthless, making many people feel scared, and even more people directly defected to his camp.

Those who had ulterior motives slowly withdrew their hands and feet, and did not dare to casually test those who had no patience at this time. However, Zhou Qingyun did not let go of these old guys who temporarily withdrew their hands and feet. After all, all those who could directly attack him were the minions of the emperor's son.

If he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely clean it up. In this case, why doesn't he deal with it in advance? As for those who are somewhat capable, they are placed aside and planned to be settled later, while those fools are directly dealt with by Zhou Qingyun. During that period, the court was even more terrible than when the emperor was confused before. Those who really serve the people are relieved because those who are dealt with are corrupt officials.

Moreover, most of these idiots are children of aristocratic families, because these children of aristocratic families have been hereditary from the beginning, which has led to the fact that the aristocratic families have the final say in the court. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Qingyun directly abolished the system of hereditary succession, demoted one level for each generation, until there was no more room for demotion, and directly abolished the title. If you want a title, you should fight for it yourself. Don't think of relying on your ancestors' influence, and continue to eat and wait for death, and still want the court to support you, it is simply a dream.

But now, Zhou Qingyun in the court is doing his best to reform the court, trying to keep all those idiots away from the court. After all, if the court is full of idiots, then this dynasty will be completely over.

Because he had always been in contact with Wang Shiyu, he would write to Wang Shiyu and ask her to hand over to his master when he had many things he didn't understand. Juren Liu wanted him to give some advice. Juren Liu was much more capable and smarter than those people in the court. If the master was unwilling to come to Jinling, he would have asked him long ago.
