Quick Transmigration: Have resentment?Crazy criticize the ancestors to help you counterattack
Chapter 1555: The Bottom Line of Being an Official
Lianyi rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that Emperor Qian was really hypocritical. When his wife poisoned him, why didn't he ask to be more lenient and not vent his anger on his son? Now that the knife couldn't stab himself, he advised himself to be magnanimous.
When the emperor saw Lianyi's attitude, he knew that his daughter didn't care about it at all, so he finally chose to shut up.
Shortly after Lianyi ascended the throne, the five princes, including the third prince, tactfully packed their luggage and set off for their fiefdoms. However, these people still had some conscience and asked for permission to take their mothers out of the palace to take care of them in their fiefdoms.
Lianyi did not make things difficult for her brothers on this matter. She praised them for their filial piety and allowed them to take her mother away smoothly.
The most unwilling one among them was Concubine Rong. She was obviously only one step away from that position, but ultimately failed. She originally wanted to persist, but the Third Prince met Concubine Rong and told his mother about the missing children of the aristocratic families, which eventually changed her decision.
"Forget it. Now your father has handed over power to Anping. This capital is her territory. Even if you continue to stay here, you may not be able to achieve anything. You will also be under constant surveillance. It is better to go to your fiefdom. The emperor is far away, and you can also join forces with other princes to make plans."
The third prince immediately echoed:
"Mother is right. I think so too. I took you to my fiefdom because I was worried that once I became powerful, Anping would threaten me with my life. How could I risk my safety?"
Concubine Rong sighed that they were unlucky and followed her son to the fiefdom obediently. Her son was very busy in the first two years there. When her son had all the power in the fiefdom in his hands and began to prepare for a counterattack, Anping took the lead.
Lianyi took two years to merge Daqian and Luopan, naming the country Qianluo and changing the reign title to the first year of Jianyong. Lianyi gave herself the title Chengtian Empress, meaning the emperor who inherits the will of heaven and earth, and then began a new round of reforms.
Because the two countries were merged into one, the old and new forces were competing with each other, and each wanted to gain the greatest benefits for their own camp. Lianyi took advantage of this to stir up trouble everywhere. In the end, she acted as a peacemaker and came forward to mediate, giving a result that satisfied both parties, and sorting out the court affairs bit by bit.
Some noble families also saw Lianyi's tactics, but so what? They were using an open plot, and they all had their own selfish motives. If neither side was willing to compromise, the dispute would not be resolved, and the game would be played at all times.
The court officials and forces of Luopan Kingdom were unwilling to be suppressed by the court officials of Daqian, so they also took action. Under the instigation of Lianyi, they also involved the princes of the fiefdom, making the five princes miserable.
No matter how the court fought, Lian Yi always paid great attention to people's livelihood. Whenever someone used these designs to frame the people and compete with the people for profit, Lian Yi never tolerated it and ruthlessly executed the troublemakers, which made the court officials also feel some of Lian Yi's pulse.
The various forces were fighting each other to the death, and even fighting in the court, and the empress could turn a blind eye. But if the common people were implicated, the empress would personally take action, and those who came up with bad ideas would be punished if they didn't die.
In order to secretly support the third prince, some noble families took advantage of the national disaster and drove up grain prices to make huge profits during floods. They even took the opportunity to sell children and sent them to a secret training base to be trained as death squads.
On the day Lian Yi found out about this, he threw the imperial pen in his hand. The next day, An Qinghui (An Shiming's son) led his troops to surround the place where the family was located, and read out the other party's crimes in public. At noon, all the men of the family were beheaded at Caishikou, and all the women were exiled to the Northern Wilderness to be ordinary people. As for whether they could survive there, it depended on their own abilities.
After this incident, many noble families were frightened and restrained. It was really because the empress was too cruel. She sent troops to surround the Ma family the next day after receiving the news. What else in the world could be hidden from the empress's eyes? When she went to court the next day, Lianyi also bluntly criticized all the court officials:
“You who are standing in the court are all important officials of Qianluo State. Your words and actions not only represent yourselves, but also the families behind you, so it is best to think twice before doing anything.
You can fight for power and gain, and seek benefits for your family. I understand that being an official is to bring honor to your ancestors and protect your descendants. Don't talk nonsense about serving the country.
But you should never use the lives of ordinary people to pave the way. You use other people's lives to pave the way for your family's prosperity. I will use your entire family to pave the way for my prosperity. Do you understand?"
"Your servants understand and will keep the Empress's teachings in mind."
Everyone in the hall answered respectfully in unison.
The third prince was implicated by the Ma family and eventually lost his fiefdom. Lianyi sent people to bring the third prince back to the capital and made him a leisurely prince. After that, the other four princes also returned to the capital one after another.
When these people thought they would live under the shadow of their eldest sister for the rest of their lives, Lianyi ordered that all children aged five and above around them be brought into the palace, regardless of gender, and she also dangled a carrot in front of these younger brothers.
When Lai Fu invited all these people into the imperial study, the five of them were extremely nervous and fidgety, fearing that the ripples would cause them to be extinct.
Lianyi said with a smile:
"My brothers, you all know that when I went to Luopan to marry, I was determined to die. That's why I took the sterilizing soup before leaving the palace. I will never have children in this life. This huge kingdom must have an heir."
As soon as they said this, their breathing became a little rapid. Lianyi was very satisfied with their attitude. As long as they had the desire, it was good. Then she continued:
“So I have decided to select a suitable successor from among the descendants of my brothers, and any child under five years old is eligible, regardless of gender.
However, they must enter the palace to study, and this emperor will test them at any time, not only their knowledge, but also their character. You should know that there is no such thing as a born emperor, and these need to be cultivated from a young age.
Don't even think about letting older children enter the palace. Some of their ideas have been influenced by you and have formed fixed patterns. They can't adapt to the emperor's teaching methods, so don't add to your troubles."
Lianyi's words were very clear. She was too old to be influenced by the people around her. Some of their ideas conflicted with her governing philosophy, and she didn't have the time to correct them. Instead of doing that, it would be simpler to paint on a blank piece of paper.
Although everyone was disappointed, they also knew that this opportunity could not be missed, so they all nodded in agreement and actively sent their children of appropriate age to the palace.
A group of young people entered the palace at a young age and began their fifteen-year study career. However, the one who made it to the end was a girl, the granddaughter of the former crown prince, Qian Yanyun. (End of this chapter)
