Yan Qinghe concealed the bitterness in his eyes.

His Majesty is about to return to the capital, and it is time for him to return to the northwestern frontier as well. This is their important responsibility.

"Yue'er, when you leave the capital next year, you can write to me again and I will accompany you."

Between the two of them, he didn't have the courage to say that.

He was afraid of repeating the same mistake again, and this was enough for now. His Majesty often said that they were good friends, so let them be good friends for life.

After sending His Majesty to the capital, he will return to the frontier.

Murong Yue decided to do something very quickly.

The manpower and routes deployed in Yue State quickly shrank like silent tentacles.

The group returned to Xuancheng again.

The feeling became even more obvious when Murong Yue went to see the towns she passed along the way with a purpose.

"The people of Yue are not living as well as those of Qing."

After that mudslide, Xuancheng has recovered.

After Murong Yue set foot on the land of Qing Kingdom, she felt inexplicably at ease. Every day in Yue Kingdom, she felt like a thief.

After much thought, I still think it would be better to turn Yue State into Yuezhou as soon as possible.

This way, when I go to see my mom next year, I won’t have to be sneaky.

The group stayed in the manor again.

Murong Yue wrote directly to the Ministry of Revenue, asking them to speed up the process.

After receiving the news, Jiang Feng from the Ministry of Revenue showed it to the ministers with a smile, "Everyone, whether our names can be recorded in the history books depends on this time."

Li Xuanji put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked with the ministers to the door of the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall.

Look into the distance.

"It's autumn now, and His Majesty will be back soon."

"Then let's wrap it up and give Yuezhou to Your Majesty as a New Year's gift."

"Haha, the Imperial Master is really thoughtful," Murong Anle's wrinkles were all revealed with a smile.

Your Majesty's expansion of territory is a good thing for the royal family.

Every place must have officials, just like the Yun Kingdom, where the imperial court arranged people from the court to be the governors, kept people who had been useful in the Yun Kingdom, and then selected a few people from the royal family.

Three-party checks and balances.

If the royal family wants to make meritorious service, they must play a supervisory role. If they catch the state government's evidence, they can expect rewards.

If the provincial government wants to save its lives, it must develop Yunzhou well.

As for what you said, aren’t you afraid of rebellion?

Let me put it this way, those who had rebellious tendencies had long been killed by the retired emperor.

The entire court of Qing Kingdom began to run at high speed like a machine, especially the Ministry of Revenue, which was brightly lit and sleepless all night.

The old emperor of Yue State was also at the end of his life.

Xiao Yuanshuang became more and more skilled in handling state affairs. She did not need to ask the old emperor for his opinion on many matters and could make decisions directly.

The old emperor wanted to inherit a child from a side branch to succeed the throne.

At least he's a man.

But when he took medicine every day, Xiao Yuanshuang would ask about his condition.

As an emperor for so many years, how could he not know what this meant? If he dared to reveal his intention of adopting a child today, he would die tomorrow.

He understood his daughter's ambition.

There was a thunderstorm that night.

Xiao Yuanshuang sat for a whole day, stood up to stretch his shoulders, and closed the window.

The old emperor tucked the quilt in again.

The old emperor seemed to suddenly come to life, "Shuang'er."

"Father."

"How is your elder brother?"

"Father, you forgot that my eldest brother died in exile," Xiao Yuanshuang lowered her eyes, her hands already stained with the blood of the second prince.

Don't mind one more.

The old emperor was silent for a long time. He looked at Xiao Yuanshuang, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became clear.

"I know Shuang'er, you want to be someone like the Queen of Qing."

This time Xiao Yuanshuang didn't say anything, but clasped the hands at her side tightly in her palms.

This moment was so close to her.

Her heart was beating like thunder and she dared not speak. She wanted to obtain the throne legitimately and did not want to be stained with her biological father's blood unless she had no other choice.

"Then you have to promise me one thing."

Xiao Yuanshuang knelt down, "Father, please give me your orders."

"You will never have any offspring in your lifetime. The throne will be passed to the Xiao clan. The Yue Kingdom can only have the surname Xiao. This matter must be written down as an edict."

"Okay, Father, I promise."

A barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Yuanshuang's mouth.

She just didn't understand. She also had the blood of the Xiao family flowing in her veins. Wouldn't the child she gave birth to have no blood of the Xiao family?

It's ridiculous.

Next, the old emperor struggled to get up, summoned his ministers in, and wrote the edict of succession in front of everyone.

Xiao Yuanshuang, the second empress in the world.

Then, the old emperor wrote an edict regarding the agreement he had just made with Xiao Yuanshuang, stamped it with the imperial seal, and handed it to a royal relative.

With a muffled thunder, the old emperor died.

Everyone inside and outside the hall knelt down.

Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!

This sound was so refreshing. Xiao Yuanshuang narrowed his eyes and looked towards the sky.

Sure enough, where there is a will, there is a way.

Now is a new life.

The royal family member next to him got up from the ground, raised the old emperor's decree above his head, and handed it to Xiao Yuanshuang.

Xiao Yuanshuang picked it up and took a look.

Put it directly on the candle next to it, light it and throw it on the ground.

She did all this, and no one stood up to oppose her from beginning to end.

Next will be the nationwide obituary, notification to neighboring countries, and a national mourning.

After the national mourning, Xiao Yuanshuang’s coronation ceremony was held.

During the national mourning period, there are no entertainment activities or opportunities, and marriage is also prohibited.

The people seemed to be peaceful, but secretly, an invisible storm was sweeping across the country of Yue.

"What did you say? Blue Sky Bank raised the interest rate on deposits?"

"Yes, other banks only give 3% interest for deposits, but Blue Sky Bank gives 15!"

"Fifteen? Is that true?"

That means if I save one hundred taels of silver, I can get seven and a half taels in half a year!

Ordinary people were not able to enjoy the good thing of borrowing money at low interest rates, but the idea of ​​saving money at high interest rates was the first to spread among ordinary people.

Forget about the poor families. They are lucky enough not to owe any money. They don’t have any spare money to save.

Well-off families and some wealthy families secretly exchanged the silver they had deposited in other banks and deposited it in the Blue Sky Bank.

Those who borrowed large sums of money from the Blue Sky Bank felt like they had discovered a new world.

"Then can we borrow money from the Blue Sky Bank and deposit it in the Blue Sky Bank?"

The interest rate for borrowing money is only 8%, but the interest rate for depositing it is 15%.

It's a good way to make money without doing anything.

But before they could take any action, they received a debt collection message from the Blue Sky Bank.

They said their boss was going to open a shop, or that his boss had a baby, or that he was investing money...

Anyway, there are many reasons, but it all comes down to two words: pay back the money.

Repaying debts is justified.

These powerful and aristocratic families of Yue State could not escape and could only repay the money with great pain.

Alas, not being able to take advantage of such a good opportunity is even more painful than killing them.

Unfortunately, they soon discovered that the real difficulty had arrived.

Some people who had invested money in running shops simply did not have enough money to pay off their debts. They had no choice but to sell some of their properties to pay off their debts.
