Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Ning Zhiwei stared at the palace servants kneeling on the ground, frowning slightly, "Which palace are you from? What are your names?"

Since she entered the palace, she has sealed off many palaces, released palace maids and eunuchs over the age of 25, and left the palace with more than half of its staff empty.

Only the Taiping Palace where the children lived, the Yangxin Palace where Rong Jing lived, and the Qianming Palace where she lived were open.

The servants serving in Taiping Palace were all hereditary servants of the Ning family. Rong Jing only employed young eunuchs, and there was not a single palace maid.

All the people in her Qianming Palace were her direct descendants, whom she personally selected one by one and who had followed her when she was in the northwest.

In addition, there are three palaces to accommodate young palace maids and eunuchs who do not want to leave the palace.

Weiyang Palace, Zhongxiu Palace, and Xingde Palace have now been converted into small workshops where people make money by doing handicrafts, such as cotton-padded clothes, cotton cores, cotton wool, cotton shoes, etc.

These were all piecework-based, the more you work the more you earn. You save the money you earn and wait until you turn 25 to leave the palace.

They could leave the palace early if they wanted, but since these were homeless people, they stayed in the palace to earn some money, and their attitudes were enthusiastic and full.

Yong'an Palace is the management office, where the six departments and twelve bureaus are located to maintain the normal operation of the palace.

"I am from Weiyang Palace, Ah Tao."

"I am the palace supervisor, Ah Xing."

He is not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and has an ordinary appearance.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him calmly and said, "Announce the commander of the Jinyiwei."

The two maids were trembling with fear, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed her eyes slightly, "What are you afraid of?"

Ah Tao bit her lip and said, "We dare not... gossip behind his back. We dare not speak ill of Lord Rong again. Please forgive us this time."

The two men begged for mercy desperately, but Ning Zhiwei remained unmoved. The palace had already been cleansed and all palace inmates over 25 years old had been released, but there were still hidden dangers.

Yu Qing came hurriedly, "Greetings to the Emperor."

Ning Zhiwei pointed at the two palace maids and said, "Search them."

They searched his entire body, even his teeth, but found nothing.

As long as there is no hidden drugs, that’s fine.

Yu Qing began to interrogate, "Who ordered you to gossip here?"

Ah Tao shook her head desperately, "No one, we just spoke out of our feelings at the time. Your Majesty, you should be careful and don't trust men too much."

Ah Xing looked nervous, "Yes, it is not easy for a woman to become an emperor. Don't be fooled by those stinky men. They will kneel to you for power, but they are dissatisfied in their hearts and will rebel against you one day."

The Jinyiwei were all stunned. They were all men! This was meant to pierce the empress's heart.

Ning Zhiwei's expression remained unchanged, calm and collected, "What else?"

Ah Xing seemed very extreme. "There is no such thing as loyal love in this world. Men are the best at using sweet words to deceive women. Powerful men all want to have three wives and four concubines. I suggest that you suppress men as much as possible, break their bones and spines, and lock them up in the backyard to take care of the children."

Gasps were heard and the Jinyiwei were all shocked. This woman was so scary. The emperor must not believe her lies.

Ning Zhiwei stared at her deeply. "What will happen next? Men will rise up one after another, take revenge crazily, overthrow the government, usher in another chaotic world, and allow the remnants of the previous dynasty to fish in troubled waters?"

Ah Xing's eyes flickered, "What do you mean by remnants of the previous dynasty? I don't understand."

Ning Zhiwei knew that they wanted her to hear it on purpose. Su Mingjin's hand was too long and this was not okay.

"Then you will understand."

Yu Qing whipped over with a whip, and Ah Xing screamed, "Ah ...

"I really don't accept it. Since you are the empress, why don't you fight for the interests of women? Why don't you completely defeat men?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Ning Zhiwei's eyes. This was not for her good at all; it was clearly leading her astray.

Is it right to step on men under your feet?

What she wants is equal rights, equal rights for men and women.

"In the eyes of the emperor, there is no distinction between men and women, old and young, only between ordinary people and talented people. As long as you have talent, I dare to use you even if you are a beggar."

What’s the difference between men and women? They are all her cattle and horses... Ah, why did I suddenly think of Lin Jingshu’s theory of cattle and horses?

Anyway, as long as it works well.

"Only an emperor who lacks confidence would be timid and afraid of everything. He is just like Su Mingjin, who hides in the dark all day long and schemes against others. He is not something that can be put on the stage."

"And I want all the people in the world to serve me, and work together to create a peaceful and prosperous era, with peace and tranquility in the seas and rivers, and peace in the world."

Yu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was the master he wanted to follow. Strong men were not divided by gender. "Your Majesty is wise."

"Strict investigation."

"Yes."

The next morning, Ning Zhiwei just got up and heard the bad news.

Yu Qing's face was not looking good, "Your Majesty, Ah Xing died by hitting her head against the wall last night."

"A Tao confessed. She was not aware of the situation and was taken to the rockery by A Xing."

"Everyone Ah Xing normally interacts with has been detained, and we have already found out that the two young eunuchs are her accomplices."

"One is cleaning the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Ning Zhiwei frowned. Yangxin Palace? That was where Rong Jing lived. He was really omnipresent. "Got it."

Rong Jing was still marking papers in the examination room. Ning Zhiwei did not disturb him and ordered the Jinyiwei to clean the palace.

In the morning court, everyone talks about what they have to say without any delay. They are all busy as if they wish they had more hands.

"Su Mingjin has long been planning in the southeast, competing with us for territory, and stirring up trouble in the capital. I intend to send an army to conquer him. What do you think?"

Ning Zhiwei originally wanted to take it slow, and then concentrate his forces on attacking Su Mingjin after taking over the southwest.

But Su Mingjin is so disgusting.

Zhou Hongye frowned, "Your Majesty, please don't do that. We are already struggling with two fronts at the same time. If we open another front at this time, our logistics will not be able to keep up."

There is silver, but not enough food.

"Yes, the troops are too dispersed and can be easily defeated one by one."

"Now is not the best time. Your Majesty, please be patient for a while."

Everyone felt that it was not appropriate to open all three lines at the same time.

Ning Zhiwei looked at the silent Xiao Linfeng, "Master Xiao, what do you say?"

Xiao Linfeng stood up and cupped his hands, "I am willing to lead the troops there. There is no need to bring more food and fodder. We can fight to support the war."

As soon as the words "fight to support war" were uttered, the atmosphere changed.

At this moment, a Jinyiwei came in with an anxious look and waited cautiously on the side.

Ning Zhiwei looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

The Royal Guard came over and saluted, "Your Majesty, something has happened."

"I just got the news that the women of the Ning family had just arrived in Beijing. When they passed by the place where the students were sitting in silence, the students suddenly mutinied and rushed towards the convoy of the women of the Ning family..."

Ning Zhiwei stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger. This was a carefully planned conspiracy!
