Dressed as a big boss Bai Yueguang, God does not allow salted fish to lie down

Prince Xu stepped forward and advocated controlling the locusts. Locust plague was the worst of the three disasters and was very harmful. Capable ministers should be sent to various places to kill and drive away the locusts. At the same time, taxes should be reduced and relief should be provided to the victims. Otherwise, civil unrest would easily occur.

However, Wang Guoxiang believed that "locusts are a natural disaster, how can they be controlled by human efforts?... Killing too many insects will damage the harmony of nature, and what will happen if more disasters come?" He advocated "cultivating virtue to avert it."

The prince was so angry that he collapsed!

However, the court officials who supported Wang Guoxiang's views were the mainstream in the court.

Emperor Jing was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. "The national treasury is empty, and you only know how to reduce taxes. Reduce taxes, but are you going to use the money from the tax cuts to fill the holes? The natural disasters are not caused by my lack of virtue, but by you who are idle and self-serving, forming cliques for personal gain, and enriching yourselves!"

Emperor Jing suspended court for three days, and the ministers knelt outside the palace, forcing the emperor to issue an edict of repentance, reduce taxes in the disaster-stricken areas, and open the granaries to release grain.

The stalemate lasted for ten days and ended with Emperor Jing issuing an edict of self-blame and Crown Prince Xu offering sacrifices on his behalf.

Tax reduction was impossible, and local governments were required to replace grain taxes with other crops, such as cotton or cloth, or with corvée labor, and to open their warehouses and release grain at the prefectures, counties, and townships.

Emperor Jing had been conceited all his life, and his self-criticism edict was a denial of all his life's merits and demerits!

He was irritable and took more elixirs. On the second day after the edict of repentance was issued, Emperor Qiyuan died suddenly in Jingyang Palace at the age of 41.

This age may not seem young, but in fact, in ancient times when medical technology was backward, the emperor abused drugs, loved to take elixirs, and did not like to exercise, so it was considered good to live to this age.

The emperor, who had brought disaster to the Kingdom of Dajing for many years, finally died.

If we were to say his greatest achievement was, it was probably that he accidentally sent Su Yuejian to Zhongli, bringing benefit to the local people.

Prince Xu was ordered to put the old emperor's body into the coffin.

The empress and concubines, many princes, officials and princes had to wear mourning clothes and cry loudly together at regular intervals to express their great grief and announce the death of the deceased to the royal family and kings.

The Crown Prince asked the Military Affairs Department to guard the imperial city, and the Royal Guards inside the palace were also to step up their vigilance.

All noble families restricted their family members from going out, and their servants and guards were all on high alert.

The ministers asked the prince to succeed to the throne.

Crown Prince Xu declined for three days in a row, and then succeeded to the throne in front of the emperor's coffin. The ministers changed out of mourning clothes and put on auspicious clothes to attend the enthronement ceremony.

The new emperor must complete three procedures to ascend the throne legally: first, ascend the throne in front of the coffin; second, complete the coronation ceremony; and third, change the era name.

According to etiquette, the mourning period should last for 27 months (which is commonly known as three years). In order to take into account the special nature of the emperor's profession, people invented the practice of "replacing months with days", using 27 days instead of 27 months. In other words, the emperor's mourning period was 27 days.

During the mourning period, the Ministry of Rites would prepare for the coronation ceremony. On the 27th, the mourning period would be removed and a grand coronation ceremony would be held on an auspicious day selected in advance.

Su Yuejian learned about this first, so she seized the opportunity and begged to return to Beijing to pay her respects.

Since she was just a princess and as a woman, she posed no threat to the superiors, so her request was granted.

While waiting for a reply, she also began to prepare for her departure. She would be back in a month and a half at most. She handed over the arrangements of farming and people's livelihood to Gu Bingxiu, entrusted the water conservancy construction to Jun Moli, and the business affairs of Yuejianfang to Su Quan.

He also instructed Su Quan to put all his efforts into building as many houses as possible in the outer city.

If there is not enough space, the desolate gravel land that is not suitable for growing crops or vegetables can be filled with concrete to harden the road surface, and bamboo sheds can be built in the future.

Su Yuejian entrusted the management and planting of her own fields to Amber, and handed the inpatient department to Peony.

This way, when she's away for a while, everyone can do their job and everything can continue to work smoothly.

Just treat it as a holiday to get rid of the locusts and go back to Beijing to visit relatives. I don’t know what’s wrong with my grandmother’s health. There are also my father, Su Xiao, Su Yao, and him...

There is still a lot to do on this journey to the capital.

There are only twelve months left until the end of the world.

Su Yuejian's mental strength is now much stronger, and his current space has reached level six.

Can use space to achieve teleportation.

As for the level five space compression, she felt it was useless.

However, the Third Prince Nangong Yan, who also pleaded to return to Beijing to pay his respects, had his request rejected!

Princes were not allowed to enter the capital to pay homage, especially since Crown Prince Xu had just ascended the throne. It was already a favor not to settle accounts with him, and he was only allowed to mourn the late emperor in his fiefdom.

Nangong Yan is now like a frightened bird, fearing that Xu will use him as a target after he takes office. He is scared to death and his mental state is not very good.

According to the rules, upon hearing of the death of a deceased person, one should cry fervently, bow five times and kowtow three times. After the ceremony, one should change into plain clothes and then wear mourning clothes on the fourth day. This will last for 27 days before the end.

Nangong Yan was afraid of being charged with disrespect, so he cried every day, was in a trance and acted crazy.

The officials also received instructions from above and bullied the three kings even more unscrupulously, just trying to keep them alive. The three kings were tortured to madness, and another member of the royal family was disabled.

Su Yuejian packed up the gifts to bring to the nobles in the capital. This time she planned to go to the capital alone, so she would have more time.

She assigned tasks to Uncle Wei, Qiu Ju and Dong Mei. When she was away, they were to look after Zhongli and arrange for guards to be on duty. In addition, all her servants had to practice physical fitness every day.

Practice for two hours in the morning and evening.

When she comes back, she will assess everyone, and the person who ranks last in the assessment will be severely punished.

Su Yuejian put all the things she was going to take to Beijing into the space.

Tonight is the last night before my departure.

I will be able to enter the capital and go home tomorrow.

Su Yuejian would not miss any time to cultivate his mental strength.

Let’s practice for two more hours tonight.

After connecting to the Cross Star Library, I suddenly became curious about what happened between my mother and Amanda from Cross Star. How did they get together?

What kind of person is Amanda?

So I searched the library using Amanda as the keyword to see what information I could get.

Then she realized she had made another mistake!

Amanda is actually a female leader.

It turns out that it’s not the super rich dad, but the super rich mom.

So could it be that something happened between his handsome father and his rich mother that led to her being born?

Read on...

As a result, she learned about Amanda's deeds of sacrificing her life to go to the lower plane to complete the mission for her people in the entire galaxy.

It turns out that the people of Cross will die the moment they arrive in the lower plane.

As the highest executive of the Cross people, Amanda is extremely talented. Only she can survive in the lower plane for more than a week.

You only need to conceive a purebred human embryo within this week, and you will have enough time to continue living in the lower plane until a new life is born.

At that time, her body in the netherworld will automatically die, and her consciousness can return. After returning, the consciousness can be digitized and downloaded into a different human body to continue living.

When her offspring Alpha reaches adulthood, her genes will be monitored. If there are no bad mutations and her genes are stable, then her gene sequence can be referenced to find out the root cause of the genetic disease problems of the people on the star Cross.

This is the purpose of Amanda's coming to the mortal world, which is equivalent to going on a business trip that requires changing her shell.

On the day of giving birth, her physical life span had actually come to an end and her supernatural powers would be suppressed.

When going to the netherworld, she would extract their rational brains and only retain their emotional brains, so that she could quickly develop feelings for the pureblooded person she targeted and give birth to offspring.

Amanda accidentally saved a leading man in the netherworld, and soon the two gave birth to a child.

The moment she gave birth to the child was the moment she died.

This action can be said to be full of tragedy and helplessness.

Amanda, who only has emotional consciousness, will fall in love with the man from the lower world, but she will die physically after giving birth to a child, and they will never be able to be together again.

After returning, Amanda is no longer a love-brained woman. She will rationally think that it is a mission, just like a big dream. Who would be entangled with the person in the dream after waking up?

There is a follow-up here. When Amanda went to the mortal world, she was targeted by the Human Emperor.

Amanda was too impatient to continue entangled with him, and after several attempts, she had no choice but to reveal her supernatural powers.

The Human Emperor of the lower plane coveted her beauty, but was also afraid of her divine power.

He didn't hit her again during the ten months of pregnancy, so she thought the matter was over.

However, she underestimated the meanness of the Human Emperor. On the day of her delivery, when her body was at its weakest, he launched a massacre to wipe out her entire family.

The sentimental Amanda hid her consciousness in the Yaotai Order before her death. She did not choose to return to consciousness, but stayed here, in the form of sleep, to accompany her children at the closest distance.

Until the Yaotai Order was activated, her consciousness automatically awakened. The previous plane discovered her consciousness and forcibly recalled her. After Amanda returned, her rational brain merged and her consciousness was uploaded to another body, and she continued to rule the planet Cross.

Amanda's descendant Alpha in the lower plane is also alive and well.
