I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

At the South Gate, there were only more than 100,000 soldiers guarding the city, and because Mu Heng was leading his troops to attack the North Gate, the guarding and defense of the South Gate were much lax. When they realized that the enemy was approaching the South Gate and were preparing to defend, Ye Ze flew directly onto the city wall and shot the general defending the city directly in the heart. The soldiers suddenly became leaderless and fled in all directions.

The south gate was wide open, and the Qian soldiers led by Shouhou Goudan rushed into the city. The army advanced towards the north gate in an orderly manner, attacking the army led by Mu Heng from both inside and outside!

The palace was in complete chaos. The palace maids, eunuchs, and some unfavored concubines were all busy packing up their belongings and fleeing for their lives. In the panic, there were sounds of collisions, shouting, scrambling, and objects falling.

Inside the Fengyuan Hall, the ministers urged the emperor to escape quickly, as if he didn't leave now, the Qian army would probably attack the palace!

The emperor sat on the dragon throne in a daze, muttering: "I won't leave. I am the emperor, I am the emperor! I won't go anywhere!"

"Father, I don't want to die. I don't want to die..." The Seventh Prince persuaded with tears, "Father, I beg you to take me with you to escape..."

The princes were united in their opinions, and all advised the emperor to escape. Eunuch Liu came back anxiously from outside the palace gate, "Your Majesty, the north gate is about to collapse, you should leave the palace quickly!"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne stubbornly, "This world belongs to me. Mu Heng is a traitor and I want him dead!"

Some ministers could no longer wait and quietly left Fengyuan Hall, running frantically towards the palace gate. The emperor wanted to stay in the palace and wait for death, and they didn't want to die with him!

The Empress, Concubine De and other high-ranking concubines in the harem packed up their gold, silver and other belongings, and without caring about etiquette, they all entered the Fengyuan Hall and knelt down to ask the Emperor to escape with them.

After persuading them for a while, seeing that the emperor was still stubborn, no one wanted to stay in the palace and wait for death with him. Soon, the emperor and Eunuch Liu were the only ones left in Fengyuan Hall.

The palace was quiet for a long time, and then there was a sound of footsteps outside. The sound was getting closer and closer. Eunuch Liu looked towards the door of Fengyuan Hall with expectation.

As a result, a figure covered in blood appeared in front of the door of Fengyuan Hall. Against the light, Ye Ze, like a messenger from hell, approached the person sitting on the dragon throne step by step.

"Who are you? You are so brave!" The emperor glared at Ye Ze hatefully.

Ye Ze smiled and said calmly, "Do you know why your country was destroyed?"

The emperor shouted excitedly: "Who said that my country is ruined? My Great Yu will last for thousands of years! I am the emperor!"

"You value civil officials over military officials, keep loyal officials at a distance and keep villains close to you. You appointed a Taoist priest as the national teacher, listened to his nonsense and drowned the newborn daughter of a meritorious official! You deserve to die!" Ye Ze ignored his anger and said word by word: "You probably don't know yet? The baby girl who was drowned by your order was not destined to die. She was rescued and adopted by a kind-hearted person. She is now my wife!"

"What? How is this possible? This is impossible!" The emperor looked at the person in disbelief, "You, who are you?"

"The one who took your life!"

Ye Ze raised his hand expressionlessly, and the spear in his hand flew out instantly. The spear gradually enlarged in the emperor's eyes, but he was unable to react at all.

"Your Majesty, be careful..."

Eunuch Liu was so loyal to his master that he used his body to block the emperor. The spear penetrated the bodies of the two men and pierced into the backrest of the dragon chair behind the emperor before it barely stopped.

The last emperor of Dayu, Emperor Shun'an, sat firmly on the dragon throne that he valued most until his death!

His concubines and sons did not escape from the palace. The soldiers brought into the palace by Ye Ze blocked them on the palace road and died one after another, with blood flowing like a river.

Mu Heng led the army to break through the city gate and quickly took control of the overall situation. Those ministers who wanted to escape were all controlled by Qian's army.

From then on, Dayu was completely destroyed, and Emperor Qian succeeded to the throne, naming the reign title Jinghe, which was then announced to the world.

The new dynasty was established, and everything needed to be rebuilt.

The officials of the previous dynasty were complicated and intertwined, but fortunately, there were Mu Heng and Xu Feng. They had lived in the capital for a long time and knew the ins and outs of the officials in the court very well.

The next step was to confiscate property, behead, exile, and demotion. The capital city ushered in a major change of blood. Duke He and Qin Taifu were beheaded, the six ministers were confiscated and exiled, and officials above the fifth rank were demoted. These people had to be kept for the time being, otherwise there would be no one in the court, and Ye Ze would be constrained in doing things.

Little did Ye Ze know that the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings seized from the mansions of Duke He and Grand Tutor He alone would be enough to fill up half of the national treasury!

Combined with the residences of other officials and the emperor's previous massive increase in taxes in the name of disaster relief, Ye Ze had a lot of money in his hands.

Mu Heng and Xu Feng jointly recommended Meng Lingshu for important government positions. Meng Lingshu was transferred back to the capital to serve as Taifu, along with the Ye, Zhao, Mu, and Xu families.

In the court, the soldiers who fought side by side with Ye Ze were also rewarded. Mu Heng was named the father-in-law of the country and the first-class duke, and Zhao Youliang was awarded the first-class duke. The old generals who had always followed Mu Heng were all given the title of duke, and Shouhou Goudan was respectively named marquis...hereditary succession!

After this swift and vigorous rectification, most of the civil service positions in the court were vacant. The emperor specially issued an edict to approve the establishment of special examinations to recruit talents, inject fresh blood into the court and revitalize the government.

When this news came out, the happiest people were the scholars. In the previous dynasty, treacherous ministers were in power, and they had great ambitions but nowhere to display them. Now that the opportunity has come, they are ready to go, studying hard day and night, hoping to stand out in the special examination and soar to the sky!

......

On the other side, the border town,

Before going to Beijing, Old Lady Ye and her companions went to see Village Chief Ye and his companions, told them the news that Ye Ze had become emperor, and asked them if they wanted to go to Beijing together.

Village chief Ye refused directly. Although they were happy that an emperor had appeared in the Ye clan, he still decided to return to the village. The village was their roots and the ancestral tablets were still enshrined in the village ancestral hall. He had not been back for such a long time, so this time he would definitely open the ancestral hall, burn some incense for his ancestors, tell them the good news, and ask them in heaven to bless the emperor to have everything go well.

Old Mrs. Ye did not try to persuade them any further and ordered the commander defending the city to send troops to escort Village Chief Ye and others back to Liushu Village safely.

A few days later, the guards sent by the emperor to welcome his family arrived. The Ye family, the Zhao family, the Mu family, the Xu family, and Meng Lingshu and his wife went to Beijing together. The team set out from the border town in a mighty manner.

In Liushu Village, the villagers only know that the court has changed dynasties, but they don't know who sits on the throne. However, this does not prevent them from being happy. The county government has specially sent officials to teach them how to make fertilizer for farming. It is said that fertilizing the fields in this way can produce more grain. Upon hearing this, the people learned very seriously.

In the next three years they will not have to pay taxes, and they will be able to produce more grain, so they will no longer have to worry about going hungry!

The emperor of that dynasty opened another special imperial examination, which gave the Shen family hope again. They mobilized the entire clan to support Shen Wenren in taking the imperial examination. The future glory of the Shen family depended on this!

With the establishment of the new dynasty, good news came one after another, making the people full of expectations for their future life.

However, facing the Ye clan members who suddenly moved back, Clan Leader Shen was not happy. What if your Ye clan produced a general? Their Shen clan might even produce a top scholar! Why should the position of village leader be occupied by your Ye clan members?

For this, Village Chief Ye just smiled and shook his head. Since you two are so incompatible living in the same village, it would be better to separate. It would also be a good idea for you not to share the benefits of the village with you in the future, so as to save the emperor from being embarrassed.

Liushu Village was divided into two parts. The Ye family occupied the western half of the village and renamed it Yejia Village, and the Shen family occupied the eastern half of the village and renamed it Shenjia Village!
