I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Ever since Yunyue and Xiao Yinmo ascended the throne, Li Wanhua has been the busiest person besides them.

Because of the civil strife in Tianchen in recent years, coupled with the war with Western Xia, now that a woman has ascended the throne, except for Donglin, other surrounding countries all think that Xiao Yinmo has fallen into a beauty trap.

In particular, aristocratic families in many places in Tianchen began to spread rumors and rebel.

So these countries also wanted to take the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from Tianchen, no, now it has been renamed Huaguo.

The Western Xia, which had been beaten so hard that it dared not move, began to stir again, and the northern border also began to make small moves.

Yunyue Xiao Yinmo knew that if they failed to act decisively and let them see their strength, China would suffer a great loss if they united together.

Therefore, Xixia sent Yun Changgeng as the commander-in-chief, and Li Wanhua and Huo Tanguo, who volunteered to go to the northern border in the south, were sent.

Veterans like Yun Changshan stayed in the rear.

Although the veterans also objected, they were worried about the young people going to the battle. Especially since there were many women on Li Wanhua's side, they were even more worried.

But since both emperors had issued their decrees, they could only obey them.

Unexpectedly, Li Wanhua won in just one month because her special forces team directly captured the emperor of Northern Xinjiang.

The ministers in the court who used to be sarcastic every day were almost stunned. They couldn't figure out how she did it, but her face was swollen anyway.

So the original "It's a bit of a joke for a woman to be a commander!" became "Women are as good as men!"

Because of Li Wanhua, many women also began to join the army, and gradually, Li Wanhua had an army of women under her command.

The Chinese people called them "Sky Eagles".

The status of women has also become higher. In the past, men always proudly declared that "we men protect our country", as if this was their unique mission.

However, nowadays, women can also stand up straight and proudly respond: "We girls can do it too!"

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. With her outstanding leadership and fearless courage, Li Wanhua led many brave women to repeatedly achieve remarkable feats on the battlefield and won victory after victory. These victories not only made the world take a new look at women, but also earned them the respect and praise they deserved.

After countless bloody baptisms, Li Wanhua finally realized her long-cherished dream - becoming the first female general in Chinese history. She also became a famous war god in China!

As China became stronger and stronger, the surrounding countries that had been eyeing it covetously gradually became law-abiding. Coupled with Li Wanhua's undefeated victories, the situation at home and abroad stabilized for a while, and the smoke of war began to dissipate.

Seeing that the world was at peace, Li Wanhua did not stop there. At Yunyue's suggestion, she founded a military university to cultivate more outstanding military talents for the country.

And indeed, she never married and started a family in the long years that followed, but instead poured all her energy into this university and the battlefield.

It has trained batches of outstanding military talents for China. They inherited and carried forward Li Wanhua's spirit and continued to escort the prosperity of China.

……

Ouyang Shu had been out for five years, and she had been to many places during these five years. And every time she went to a place, she would write a letter or look for some special products to have the China Post send to the capital.

It is worth mentioning that with the efforts of Jiang Yao, Yun Xingyao and others, not only did the business flourish and contribute a lot of tax revenue to China, but the Chinese postal service proposed by Yun Yue was also spread throughout China, making it very convenient for ordinary people to send letters or things to their relatives and friends far away.

"Master, it's getting dark. Can we stay in the village ahead to rest?" The guards who came out with Ouyang Shu no longer looked like powerful guards, but rather like tanned old farmers.

"Okay." Ouyang Shu has changed a lot, and is no longer as cold and aloof as when she first came out, like a fairy in the sky. Instead, she is full of energy.

A few people rode their horses to the entrance of the village and met a little girl about ten years old carrying a basket on her back.

"Little sister, where can I stay for the night?"

The little girl was not afraid of strangers, and she asked crisply, "Who are you? Where are you from?"

"I am a teacher, traveling to study."

The little girl's eyes lit up: "Wow!! You are the master!!"

"Yes."

"Master, you can live in my house! We have built a new house! We have a place to live! Come with me and ask my parents."

"That's annoying."

Ouyang Shu led the horse and followed her into the village.

"A lot of new houses have been built in your village." Ouyang Shu said, looking at the brand new houses around her.

"Yes!! Now the emperor has exempted many agricultural taxes, life is getting better and better, and everyone has money in their hands." The little girl said happily.

Ouyang Shu showed a smile on her face, and Rong Youyan.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhou Shu! My parents gave me this name specially because they hope I will study hard and become a man like Master Ouyang Shu!"

Ouyang Shu laughed: "You know Ouyang Shu?"

"Of course! Everyone knows! Our school even puts up a portrait of Master Ouyang! I want to pass the exam and go to the capital! Then I want to be a great woman like Master Ouyang!"

"Okay. You will definitely pass the exam!"

A few people came to Zhou Shu's home chatting and laughing. Although Zhou Shu's parents were also farmers, they learned to read because of Yunyue's policy.

Upon hearing that Ouyang Shu was a teacher, he received her warmly and politely.

And cooked several sumptuous meals.

"This... this is too expensive." Ouyang Shu said, looking at the meat dishes on the table.

"It's not a big deal! Now, everyone's life is better. We couldn't even eat during the Chinese New Year before, but now we can eat it every now and then! I never dared to dream of this..."

Zhou Shu's parents smiled and said. They had all experienced the change of dynasties. When it was still Tianchen more than ten years ago, someone in their family had starved to death. Therefore, they felt it more deeply.

"Life will get better and better in the future." Ouyang Shu said.

"Yeah! It's getting better!"

……

The next day, Ouyang Shu left and went to the famous Immortal Mountain with her guards.

Ouyang Shu climbed to the top of the mountain. Xianren Mountain is not high, but the scenery on the mountain is beautiful, like a fairyland.

Looking far away, you can clearly see the picturesque scenery below the mountain. Lush forests dot the fertile farmland, and winding rivers run through it like silver ribbons. The rising smoke adds a touch of worldly flavor to this peaceful and tranquil scene.

At this moment, a pleasant folk song came into Ouyang Shu's ears. The melodious melody seemed to come from nature, intoxicating her.

Following the sound, I saw a group of hardworking people on the hillside in the distance, busy with farm work and singing happily. Their singing was full of enthusiasm for life and longing for the future.

Ouyang Shu stood quietly on the top of the mountain, listening to the beautiful mountain song, and felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. After a long while, she slowly came back to her senses, and then carefully took out a slightly yellowed painting from her arms.

This painting depicts a heartwarming scene: a tall and handsome man is smiling and playing with an innocent and lovely child. Beside them, there are two majestic tigers that also appear particularly docile.

However, what is strange is that there were originally only men, children and tigers in the picture, but at some point a woman was added in. This woman has a graceful figure, a pretty face, and looks forward with gentle eyes.

Ouyang Shu gently stroked the painting, her eyes lingering on the newly added woman for a long time. She stared silently, as if time had stopped at this moment. After a long time, she slowly raised her hand and gently loosened her fingers that were tightly holding the scroll.

In an instant, the mountain wind whistled past, blowing up the thin piece of drawing paper. The drawing paper danced in the air, like a freely flying butterfly, gradually drifting away into the distance. Ouyang Shu's eyes followed it until the painting disappeared at the end of the sky...

"Let's go." Ouyang Shu turned around and spoke softly.

"Master, where is our next stop?" the guard asked.

"go home."

"go home?"

"Yeah. I've been out for a long time. It's time to go back to Beijing."
