I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

Concubine Cao was so happy that her eyes were filled with tears. She nodded heavily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

With the fall of the Qing Dynasty, she originally thought that Wen Yi would be dead.

After learning Chao Gui's true identity, he only hoped that she could save Wen Yi's life, and he didn't dare to hope for anything else.

Unexpectedly, Chao Gui not only gave Wen Yi the identity of Princess again, but also gave Dapangju's previous palace to her as a princess's residence.

With the identity of a princess and a mansion, the rest of their lives as mother and daughter are guaranteed.

At this moment, Concubine Cao was just like Wang Xifeng in Dream of the Red Chamber. She did a lot of bad things, but an unintentional act of mercy and kindness saved her daughter's miserable life.

……

As the wolf head mask was taken off, Chao Gui's true identity was exposed, which immediately caused an uproar in the former dynasty.

The court officials never dreamed that the Queen of Qin was actually a princess of Qing.

The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, the family destroyed their own kingdom, and the whole house was filled with filial piety, but it ended up killing someone.

As a result, there was a wave of pedantic Confucian officials who could not stand the fact that women were in power, and they criticized Chao Gui for being unfilial and disregarding ethical principles.

Chao Gui didn't bother to be polite with them, just one word - kill!

Since ancient times, women in power have had a bad reputation.

Empress Lü was cursed as a vicious woman throughout history, and Wu Zetian was covered in dirty water.

Even Liu E, who had done no evil, became the vicious and treacherous concubine in "The Substitute Prince".

In this case, we might as well just kill as much as we can and create a bright and sunny world of equality between men and women.

After the bloody and high-pressure shock, everyone was scared.

However, some people still had this idea.

These people were all the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. When they learned Chao Gui's identity, they were angry at first, and then ecstatic.

They originally thought that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity and glory belonging to their family would also be wiped out.

Who would have thought that the Queen of Qin was also of the Aisin-Gioro clan, that's really great.

For a time, all the old and young Manchu loyalists rushed around to cheer, and then gathered together and jointly wrote a letter asking Chao Gui to posthumously confer the title of Supreme Emperor on the late Emperor Kangxi.

Throughout the dynasties, it was common to posthumously confer titles on deceased ancestors.

For example, after Liu Bang became emperor, he appointed his old father, Liu Taigong, as the emperor emeritus.

However, this seemingly reasonable thing actually contains a very deep calculation.

It should be noted that the title of "Taishang Huang" is essentially the same as "Emperor".

If Chao Gui issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Supreme Emperor on Kangxi, it would be tantamount to incorporating Kangxi into the imperial system of the Qin Dynasty, which would be a disguised recognition that the Qin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were one.

In this way, the royal family of the Aisin-Gioro clan and the Eight Banners nobles of the Qing Dynasty could go public through a backdoor listing, suddenly become royal relatives of the Qin Dynasty, and continue to enjoy wealth and glory.

However, although this move was cunning, it could not escape Chao Gui's eyes.

The emperor believed in ruling the world with filial piety. Unless a minor clan adopted a descendant of the major clan, after ascending the throne, he had to posthumously confer titles on his biological father and mother.

The remnants of the Qing dynasty seized on this point and demanded that Chao Gui be posthumously honored with the title.

Chao Gui sneered, don’t you want to be posthumously honored?

No problem, I'll help you.

Thus, a long imperial edict for posthumous titles spread throughout the court.

In the imperial edict, Chao Gui expressed his deep filial piety to his parents, and then presented them with a series of honorary titles.

He honored his biological mother, Zhao, as the Supreme Emperor, with the title "Ren Ying", and was regarded as the "Ren Ying Supreme Emperor".

At the same time, she posthumously conferred the title of Empress Dowager on her deceased father Kangxi, and added the posthumous title "Yanming", so her full title was "Empress Yanming Herui".
