The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

The cannon was secretly made by Jiang Ningning in the past two years, but it had never been used. Now, it has been put to use and brought to the table.

Very intimidating.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan also sent people to deliver many guns to Ji Wei, which further ensured the stability of the north.

Knowing that in history, those who were too successful and threatened their rulers all had a bad end, and Emperor Li was obviously afraid of Xiao Yan at that time, to avoid this, Jiang Ningning had secretly recruited staff and disciples. Even after Xiao Yan was made a king and granted Yuzhou, he directly expanded the Yuzhou army to five times its original size.

Even if she and Xiao Yan were not in Yuzhou, Yuzhou would still be as solid as a rock.

Emperor Hou Li died, and the new emperor didn't look like an emperor at all. Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan naturally expected that Dayan would be in chaos sooner or later.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan were naturally not surprised by the chaos.

Now that the new emperor is dead, the two of them don't want to get involved.

The Grand Censor is still in prison in the imperial capital.

Although he suffered a lot in prison, the new emperor and his grandfather have not killed him yet because he has always told them where the things given to him by Emperor Li are.

But now that the new emperor is dead, the troops of the purgatory and the rebels are all heading towards the capital, and the new emperor's maternal family can no longer care about the imperial censor in prison.

It just so happened that there was a jailer in the prison who had once received great kindness from the Chief Censor. Seeing this situation, he naturally thought of a way and escaped from the prison with the Chief Censor.

The Imperial Censor said he wanted to escape to Yuzhou, but the jailer thought that Yuzhou was the safest place in Dayan now, so he really took the Imperial Censor to escape to Yuzhou.

On the way, when passing by Yongzhou, he met Xie Jing.

Xie Jing was originally an official in the imperial capital, but was disliked by Emperor Li because he also submitted a memorial to the emperor to pacify Beitan and avenge the people in the north.

Emperor Li transferred him away from the imperial capital, which was actually a demotory act, and sent him to serve as a county magistrate in Yongzhou.

Now there are rebels and war in Yongzhou, so Xie Jing will naturally not ignore the people and sit high in the county government office.

He went out of the county government office to inspect every day to ensure that the people in his county could escape smoothly and enter Yuzhou.

On the other side of Yongzhou is Yuzhou.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan were naturally worried about Xie Jing staying in this war-torn place, and they also knew that Xie Jing would not leave, so they had sent people to protect Xie Jing.

Wherever Xie Jing goes, the protectors will follow.

I happened to meet the Imperial Censor. He was so old, but now he looked like a beggar. He was only accompanied by one person, and he was walking. He didn't even have a carriage. I didn't know why he was here.

The Imperial Censor has always been known for his uprightness, courage to speak out, and fearlessness of life and death, and is respected by the people. Xie Jing naturally rushed to support him.

The Imperial Censor naturally recognized him, and knew that he and Xiao Yan were classmates and friends, but he did not dare to tell Xie Jing about such an important matter as the will, so he just asked Xie Jing to send him to Yuzhou as soon as possible.

Xie Jing didn't know what was going on, but seeing that the Censor was so anxious, he naturally sent someone to drive a carriage to quickly take the Censor to Yuzhou.

Since it was Xie Jing who sent it, the Imperial Censor naturally met Xiao Yan immediately.

"Your Highness!" The Imperial Censor burst into tears.

"No, no, no." Xiao Yan hurriedly helped up the imperial censor who was about to kneel down to him.

"Of course," the Imperial Censor said. He then explained the late emperor's will, which had appointed Xiao Yan as regent. Since the new emperor was already dead, Xiao Yan was naturally the most powerful person in the entire Great Yan State.

He also explained that the will was now buried under the wall of the back garden of his manor outside the imperial capital.

The Imperial Censor kowtowed and said, "Please, Prince Regent, take charge of the situation immediately and save the people of Da Yan from suffering!"

Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning, you look at me and I look at you.

Now that’s bad, I have to get involved.

There was no other way, so Xiao Yan naturally sent someone to the outskirts of the imperial capital to get the will.

As soon as the imperial edict was retrieved, he saw that what the censor said was true and that he had a legitimate reason to do so, so he led an army of 200,000 to the imperial capital to quell the civil unrest there first.

The Imperial Censor was also included.

The news that Emperor Li had left Xiao Yan the will to appoint him as Prince Regent naturally spread.

There is a will and testimony from the Imperial Censor. Who wouldn't believe it?

Naturally, many soldiers and horses settled down without fighting.

There was no way, no one dared to fight against Xiao Yan's army.

Besides, Xiao Yan's army had many cannons. Those cannons were something they couldn't figure out no matter how hard they tried.

Xiao Yan arrived in the capital without any obstacles.

When they arrived at the imperial capital, several armies of the Qing court and the rebels had already broken through the city gates and killed the new emperor's maternal grandfather and his family.

Those soldiers and horses knew that Xiao Yan, the King of Yuzhou, no, the Regent, was unstoppable, so they naturally stood on both sides of the road and surrendered without a fight, welcoming Xiao Yan, the Regent, into the city.

If anyone is restless and dares to cause trouble, Xiao Yan will be very ruthless and will make sure everyone is in order and they won't dare to cause trouble again.

Not long after, peace was restored throughout Da Yan.

The Imperial Capital built the Prince Regent's Palace, and Xiao Yan moved in to manage the entire affairs of Dayan from the Prince Regent's Palace.

The palace was empty except for the guards.

Since the country could not be without a ruler for a day and there was no one in the royal family, naturally someone submitted a petition asking Xiao Yan to become emperor.

Xiao Yan rejected it.

Many people made further suggestions, but Xiao Yan still rejected them.

If someone else makes another request, it will still be rejected.

The newly appointed officials were extremely puzzled, but they did not dare to ask Xiao Yan, so someone secretly asked the Regent Princess Jiang Ningning, who was also the Princess of Dengping County.

Jiang Ningning was playing with her two children. When she heard this, she didn't answer but asked, "There have been many people who died for their country in history. How many people do you want to die for your country?"

Although Dayan was leaderless, it still had its subjects.

Some people would rather die than serve two masters.

Once he became emperor, Dayan would completely cease to exist. Not to mention others, the first person to die for his country would definitely be Mr. Ji.

Mr. Ji already had this kind of character, and his family also had the ancestral teachings that generations of people should be loyal to the Great Yan and not serve two masters.

Her husband can become emperor. Under the current circumstances, Mr. Ji will definitely not object, but he will definitely commit suicide and follow Dayan to preserve his family's reputation of loyalty and bravery.

She and Xiao Yan may ignore others, but they cannot ignore Mr. Ji.

All the officials finally understood why, and they all wanted Xiao Yan to become emperor even more.

But no one submitted a petition again, asking Xiao Yan to become emperor.

But in the end, Da Yan existed in name only and was completely controlled by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan naturally vigorously developed all parts of Dayan.

He also tightened the laws and revised and changed many systems.

All official positions in various places, regardless of their size, will be filled by capable people.

It also explicitly allowed women to leave the backyard, go to school, and take the imperial examinations.

As long as one has the ability, even a woman can enter the cabinet and become a prime minister.

Women can naturally join the army and do all kinds of things they can do.

Naturally, many people opposed it, but opposition was ineffective under the power of the strong.

Moreover, since Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning have always respected wise men, the wise men of Dayan did their best to help.

Especially the wise men in Yuzhou, Honghu Academy and Jiang Xiao School, all stood on the side of Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning.

From then on, Dayan only considered ability, regardless of gender.

Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning naturally built many more schools and academies, all of which were free of tuition, so that more people could afford to study.

In order to enhance the physique of students, both civil and military examinations were offered in schools and academies. Regardless of whether there were examinations or not, martial arts courses were compulsory courses in academies.
