The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and burst into tears: "I would rather Yu'er kill me, so that I can feel better."

Si Yan's expression was cold and indifferent: "It's a pity that the Queen Mother is ruthless and ungrateful, but Your Majesty is not such a person."

The Queen Mother burst into tears and said, "I don't want to think about anything now. I just want to die and put an end to it all, and never cause trouble to Yu'er again."

Si Yan looked at the empress dowager who was crying bitterly, and saw regret in her eyes.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and everyone must be responsible for what he does.

Si Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "If the Queen Mother died at this time, it would only cause trouble for His Majesty."

"Then what should I do?" The Queen Mother looked at Si Yan with tears in her eyes.

Once upon a time, it was the appearance of this woman that allowed her to end her five years of seclusion.

Now the only person she can ask for advice is still this woman.

Si Yan said calmly, "Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want, but don't die now. Otherwise, outsiders will think that Your Majesty can't tolerate your Majesty. If your Majesty truly wants to repent, then you can wait three to five years before dying. This is the greatest love your Majesty can have for your Majesty."

The Queen Mother stopped crying and stood there in a daze.

Si Yan turned around and left the palace.

Since then, the empress dowager did not seek death again. She lived a life of seclusion and worship as before.

The next day, the new emperor moved to the Changsheng Palace. The warm sunshine of early summer shone into the palace, making it bright.

Qi Ziyu lives in the main hall of Changsheng Hall, Si Yan lives in the side hall, and Si Ru and Si Yan live together.

Most of the time, Si Ru couldn't sleep. She often woke up in the middle of the night, either to check the medicinal materials or to check the medical books.

Si Yan didn't say much and assisted Qi Ziyu in handling court affairs every day.

In early May, kings from all over the country came to the palace to pay their respects to the late emperor. After crying for a while, the late emperor's funeral was held.

All officials were in mourning, and the capital city fell into sorrow and depression.

However, Daxuan was in urgent need of revitalizing the government, and all officials were in mourning while handling government affairs.

With the assistance of Grand Tutor Si Zhengxuan and his uncle, Duke Anguo, the new emperor appointed a group of loyal ministers such as Jia Zhongchun and Pei Wangjie, and quickly restored government affairs in all aspects.

However, there was still a severe shortage of talent in the Daxuan court.

A month later, the new emperor's health improved, and Si Yan moved out of the palace and lived in the military camp.

Si Yan devoted all his energy to training the soldiers in the special training camp, and assisted Si Qingshan in training his hundreds of thousands of new recruits.

Three months later, the mourning period for all officials ended, and a memorial from Si Yan was presented to the new emperor.

After reading the memorial, Qi Ziyu was very excited and immediately summoned Si Zhengxuan and Prince An and Duke Anguo.

"Grand Master, Imperial Uncle, Ah Yan has submitted a petition requesting that I select the best talents from across the land. I have people recommend talented individuals from all over the country, as well as officials with proven achievements and the love and support of the people. I have them all gathered in Shangjing and selected a group of officials who can serve the court effectively."

The new emperor's joy was beyond words, and the two old ministers were also very happy and gave their full support.

Duke Anguo bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Daxuan court is in need of new personnel. It is urgent to select a group of new talents."

"This old minister also thinks that this matter cannot be delayed." Si Zhengxuan followed.

"Okay, then it's settled." Qi Ziyu immediately made the decision, "I will immediately issue an imperial edict to conduct a talent selection. Regardless of whether they are in the court or the opposition, or hold official positions or not, as long as they have talent, they can be recommended to the capital, and I will personally conduct the palace selection."

"I obey your order." Si Zhengxuan and Duke Anguo said in unison.

Qi Ziyu was silent for a moment, then continued, "By the way, Yan State and my Daxuan State are iron-blooded allies. This time when my country rebelled, the King of Yan personally came to help and made great contributions.

"I would like to build a Yanyun Pavilion in Shangjing. In the future, when Yan's special envoys come, they will no longer need to stay at the post station, but can stay directly at the Yanyun Pavilion. This will not only show my great Xuan's gratitude to Yan, but also strengthen the relationship between the two countries. What do you think?"

"I think it's feasible." Duke Anguo said immediately.

Si Zhengxuan also nodded. His Majesty and Prince Yan had always had a close relationship, and Prince Yan had indeed made a lot of contributions to Daxuan.

Qi Ziyu sat on the throne and continued, "The position of Minister of War is still vacant. Ah Yan once proposed to the late emperor that General Ling Yuefeng be appointed as the Minister of War.

"I believe that the old general has accomplished remarkable feats by marching alone into Dingshan Pass and capturing 30,000 soldiers and horses from Xin Qi's hands. I would like to appoint him as Minister of War. What do you think?"

Duke Anguo Qi Guangan said, "Old General Ling has spent his entire life in the military, so he is most suitable to be the Minister of War."

Si Zhengxuan said: "Your Majesty knows how to appoint people to positions, which is a blessing for the people."

"Okay, that's it."

The two men saw that although the new emperor was weak, he had a broad mind, was in high spirits, and was organized in his work, truly showing the demeanor of a wise ruler.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he appointed people based on their merits and selected talents on a large scale, appointing General Si Yan to train the army.

At the same time, the new emperor issued an order to reduce taxes and labor service, allowing the people to rest and recuperate.

In the territory of Daxuan, from civil and military officials to ordinary people, everyone praised and warmly supported the new emperor who had just ascended the throne, and the people's livelihood gradually regained vitality.

September, the first year of Xinshuo in Daxuan.

Three months after the new emperor ascended the throne, he suddenly proposed to go to the military camp outside the city to review the three armies.

Si Yan is training the soldiers in the special training camp. After the first phase of training, they have truly entered the second phase, which is more brutal and demanding physical training, as well as other devilish training.

Si Yan returned to the tent and looked at Zuo Hang who had come to deliver the imperial edict: "When will His Majesty arrive?"

"Tomorrow." Zuo Hang said respectfully.

Today, Zuo Hang has been promoted to the position of Captain of the North Gate of the Imperial Palace, responsible for guarding the North Gate of the Imperial Palace and serving as a close guard to the emperor.

"Is your Majesty in good health?" Si Yan asked.

Zuo Hang was silent for a moment: "Better than before."

But compared with normal people, Your Majesty's health is not very good.

He asked Miss Si Ru, and Miss Si Ru just said that it couldn't be rushed and it would take a long time to recuperate.

"Well, I see."

Si Yan didn't say anything. It was a good thing that Qi Ziyu was in the mood to go out for a walk.

"How about going to the capital?"

"Sir, the capital city is bustling with activity right now. There's an endless stream of people coming to the capital city, recommended by various places, to wait for the palace examination."

"That's good." Si Yan had known for a long time that Daxuan was not without people available.

However, the court was in chaos due to the Prime Minister Xin and his party, and talented people were not given important positions.

Some people became disheartened and stayed away from the court, while others would rather serve as local officials than enter the court.

"Sir, this is the official seal designed and crafted for you by His Majesty himself. It symbolizes your status and was specially sent to you today."

Zuo Hang said this and handed a seal wrapped in a ribbon bag to Si Yan.

Si Yan opened the sash and saw a piece of flawless white jade inside. On the top was carved an eagle with its wings spread out, ready to fly. Below the base were engraved the words "First-rank Female Official in Front of the Emperor" and "First Female General".

This eagle is agile and majestic, with sharp eyes, a strong body, and its gaze looking into the distance, vivid and lifelike.

Si Yan took the seal gently and didn't say much, but she already understood the new emperor's intentions.
