With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Princess Mingyue must have something on her mind, but she is unwilling to say it.

He reached out and gently patted her shoulder.

Princess Mingyue raised her head and looked into Lu Yan's eyes full of concern, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

How she wished she could tell him everything, let him share her pain.

But, she can't.

She could only bury all the pain deep in her heart and endure it all silently.

There was no way to get the poison into his food.

……

On the other side, Chen Qingwan, who returned to Jingzhou, was in a state of confusion.

She galloped on her horse, covered in dust, and the memory lingered in her mind.

It was a picture of Lu Yan and Princess Mingyue hugging each other tightly.

The flame of jealousy burned in her heart.

After arriving in the heart of the country, she ignored anyone's greetings and went straight to the bedroom.

The palace maids followed her cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

Afraid of angering this moody female general.

Chen Qingwan dismissed all the palace maids, stripped herself naked, and sank into the bathtub.

The warm water wrapped around her body, but it couldn't dispel the chill in her heart.

She closed her eyes and let her thoughts run wild.

Lu Yan's ruffian smile and Princess Mingyue's shy look.

They were all deeply imprinted in her mind.

She didn't understand why Lu Yan was so close to Princess Mingyue?

Could it be that he really fell in love with her?

"Damn it!"

Chen Qingwan suddenly opened her eyes and punched the water, splashing countless water.

She couldn't go on like this. She was the ruler of a country. How could her children's personal affairs affect her judgment?

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Lu Yan, you are the man I can never have.

In that case, I will completely forget you!

Chen Qingwan stood up from the bathtub, dried her body, and changed into a majestic outfit.

She walked to the bronze mirror, looked at the majestic woman in the mirror, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

From now on, I will only live for myself!

The bronze mirror reflected Chen Qingwan's stern face, and a firm light flashed in her phoenix eyes.

She was no longer the woman trapped in love, but the empress of the Datong Dynasty.

We must devote all our energy to national affairs.

She quickly formulated a new strategic plan, reorganized the army, and stabilized the government.

"Pass the order down, all generals, come to the conference room immediately to discuss this matter!"

Chen Qingwan's voice was cold and majestic.

The generals filed in and, feeling the fierce aura emanating from the empress, they all held their breath and did not dare to act rashly.

"I wish to reorganize the army, eliminate the old, weak, sick, and disabled, and recruit new soldiers. Do you have any objections?"

Chen Qingwan glanced at everyone and spoke in a sharp tone.

"I will obey your orders!"

All the generals responded in unison, although they had some doubts in their hearts.

But intimidated by the empress's majesty, no one dared to raise any objections.

Chen Qingwan used thundering means to set off a reform storm that swept across the country.

First, military construction was put on the agenda.

She ordered a brutal training program for the new recruits.

On the training ground, dust was flying and shouts of killing were deafening.

The recruits were sweating profusely, the formation drills were neat and uniform, and the weapons were used with great vigor.

The tactical drills are even more exquisite, and every move strives for perfection.

Chen Qingwan, dressed in military uniform, personally inspected the military camp as the scorching sun scorched the earth.

But she stood firm, training with the soldiers, her clothes soaked with sweat.

He still looked resolute, set an example himself, and greatly boosted morale.

She walked up to a young soldier and asked with concern:

"Is the training hard?"

The soldier was flattered and quickly replied:

"No hardship, serving the country is worth dying for!"

Chen Qingwan patted his shoulder appreciatively and encouraged:

"Well done! Datong's future depends on you!"

The soldiers were greatly encouraged and trained harder.

Everyone longs to be a hero defending his country.

She also ordered that soldiers who performed outstandingly in preventing cholera be commended and rewarded.

He personally awarded them medals and rewarded them with gold, silver and treasures.

This move greatly boosted the morale of the army and gave the people hope.

In order to solve the problem of food supply caused by the expansion of the army, Chen Qingwan implemented the policy of military farming.

She forced herself not to think about Lu Yan, but she had to admit it.

Lu Yan's method of governing Shannan Prefecture is indeed effective, and now we can only copy it.

"Ugh……"

Chen Qingwan sighed softly in her bedroom and rubbed her eyebrows.

"Why do I keep thinking about him? It's been... so long."

She walked to the window, looked at the bright moon outside, and murmured to herself:

"Lu Yan, where are you? Are you okay?"

The next morning, Chen Qingwan promulgated the military farming policy.

She encouraged soldiers to farm during their slack season and ordered the construction of water conservancy projects to develop agricultural production.

She went deep into the fields to understand the farming conditions.

He guided agricultural work, lived and ate with the people, and understood their sentiments.

"How's the harvest this year?"

Chen Qingwan asked an old farmer who was working in the fields with concern.

The old farmer was flattered and quickly put down his hoe and replied:

"Thanks to your majesty, this year's weather has been favorable, and the harvest is much better than in previous years!"

"That's fine, that's fine."

Chen Qingwan nodded with relief.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I will definitely make sure you all live a good life!"

The people knelt down and shouted:

"Your Majesty is wise! Long live His Majesty!"

Chen Qingwan cared about the suffering of the people and personally presided over the construction of the canal.

"We must ensure the quality of the canals and not cut corners!"

She gave this instruction to the officials in charge of building the canal.

"This concerns the people's harvest and the country's food supply. We must not be careless!"

The official nodded in agreement and admired Chen Qingwan's seriousness and responsibility.

Looking at the trickle of water nourishing the dry land, Chen Qingwan's heart was filled with hope.

"Lu Yan, did you see that? I can do it well too."

She said silently in her heart.

"The people of Datong will definitely live a good life."

Under her leadership, Datong's agricultural production is booming.

The sufficient supply of food and fodder provided solid support for the expansion of the army.

The people were grateful for Chen Qingwan's kindness and set up longevity tablets for her, praying for her to live a long life.

Chen Qingwan handled government affairs day and night, punishing corrupt officials with an iron fist and rectifying the administration of officials.

She set up a reporting box to encourage people to report corrupt officials and rewarded people whose reports were true.

Anyone who dares to challenge her authority will be severely punished.

At the morning court, she glanced at the ministers with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice:

"I will never allow anyone to harm Datong's interests. Anyone who violates this will be severely punished!"

"Please remember this!"

All the ministers were silent and submitted to him.

The officials in the palace who had once been hypocritical towards her.

Now I dare not even breathe in front of her.
