Husband has a sweetheart

Zhang Yuqing was busy governing, keeping in mind the historical experience of building high walls, hoarding grain, and slowly becoming king, and assumed a posture of having no ambitions and just wanting to seize the existing land.

The powerful families under the rule were divided, and the land under their names was sold to the government, which was then allocated to farmers for farming. However, these children of the powerful and powerful in the past were no different from ordinary people in terms of status, and they also needed to strictly abide by the law and break the law. Going to jail can no longer be solved by spending some money and having a banquet with the magistrate and magistrate.

Many people from aristocratic families are accustomed to being superior, and cannot bear such a status gap. After selling their land, their families move elsewhere, hoping to use their accumulated wealth to create a family that is superior to others and has been superior to others for generations.

Zhang Yuqing neither opposes nor supports such people, and lets them do whatever they want, as long as they don't commit crimes. And some aristocratic families relied on their strong family background, many servants and guards, and strong soldiers and horses, and attempted to resist with force, but they were all "nuclearized" by the army. The culprit was taken to the execution ground and beheaded in the name of treason.

Zhang Yuqing and Lu Wei personally oversaw the execution to serve as a warning to others.

The elders of several aristocratic families could not accept such a result. In the past, the king and Ma shared the world. Even the emperor of Daxia did not have the guts to touch these aristocratic families. Why did Zhang Yuqing, a yellow-haired girl, pull them down from their high seats and let them stand? They are on the same level as the common people, yet they are beheaded in front of the common people!

Dozens of old men with gray beards yelled excitedly at the execution ground, wishing they could scold Zhang Yuqing's ancestors from their graves.

They are not afraid of death. They die to safeguard the dignity of the family and deserve to die!

Zhang Yuqing sneered and stood directly in front of these clan elders, facing their anger.

After they finished scolding each other, Zhang Yuqing asked: "Why are you from aristocratic families so noble than the common people?"

The clan elders immediately jumped to their feet and talked for a long time.

Zhang Yuqing understood and said disdainfully: "You are more knowledgeable and sensible than the common people, so you are more noble than the common people?"

"Of course!" a clan elder shouted confidently.

Zhang Yuqing said slowly: "You have knowledge, so let me ask you, how many kilograms of wheat can an acre of high-quality wheat field produce now?"

The clan elder's eyes widened and he said disdainfully: "Then I don't know."

"Then how to increase wheat production by [-]%?" Zhang Yuqing asked again.

"No, I don't know! Mudleg's business is despicable and dirty. Why do you ask me?"

Zhang Yuqing sneered, "Then let me change the question, how to remove impurities in steel and increase the hardness of steel?"

The clan elders all puffed up their beards and glared, "That's the blacksmith's business. You ask us about how these untouchables make a living, deliberately humiliating us!"

Zhang Yuqing shook his head regretfully, "I didn't know anything about it, but I still licked my face and said that you are of great use to me! With all due respect, in my eyes, you not only do not produce but also eat too much. You are really a bunch of waste!"

"What do you know!" The clan elder who was bluntly humiliated said bitterly, holding up the Four Books and Five Classics in his hand, "Even if you conquer the world, why don't you rely on us scholars to govern the world? Looking at Daxia, they are all illiterate and ignorant Guizhou leaders. You can defeat the world with these clay legs, but you cannot rule the world!"

Zhang Yuqing stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a sonorous voice: "Public schools in various states have opened, with free teaching and free borrowing of all kinds of books. In less than five years, what you are proud of will no longer be your advantage. In less than ten years, , you will lag behind the people you once looked down upon in studying, and twenty years from now...who will remember you?!"

As long as knowledge is no longer monopolized by the nobles of these aristocratic families, and advancement no longer depends on family origin, what else do these aristocratic families have to be proud of? It will only be a matter of time before they are submerged among the general public.

Zhang Yuqing said no more, and the cheers of the people who came to watch the execution were deafening. Although public schools only provide free teaching for three years, as long as their grades are good enough, they can continue to study for free. Even if you have no talent in reading but are a good at other things, you will still have the opportunity to stand out and be used by the Qilin Empress.

All the things that the unattainable aristocratic nobles relied on that once sat on their heads were no longer their source of confidence, and the general public also had a ladder to climb up.

Zhang Yuqing and Lu Wei pretended to ignore the affairs of other states and stay in peace. The powerful people from all over the world have not stopped their ambitions to become emperors. Many powerful people have imitated the Liangzhou king and his wife, developing themselves in a low-key manner first, accumulating strength, and then Plan for the future.

The remaining ones who are fighting fiercely are all people who have little strength and want to be emperor, and don't know the heights of heaven and earth. The melee near the capital has never stopped over the years. It has been occupied several times, the king's flag has been changed on top of the city, and the people have been in dire straits.

Finally, in the fourth year after Jin Yongxiu's death, several forces who came to Beijing to protect the young emperor finally decided the winner. King Youzhou invaded the palace, married Zhang Yuying, and got the cheap son of Emperor Yongding.

On the second day of the wedding, King Youzhou couldn't wait to announce the Zen throne of Emperor Yongding. He succeeded him as Emperor of Daxia, with the reign title Hongchang, and the original Queen Mother became the Queen.

Zhang Yuqing looked at the letter sent by King Youzhou inviting her and Lu Wei to attend his coronation ceremony, and asked in disbelief: "Can't he kill Emperor Yongding's mother and son and then become emperor? Is it because he lacks a knife in his hand?" "

God knows how much she wanted to pass a knife to King Youzhou.

"I want the throne and a good reputation. I just don't want to be charged with regicide." Lu Wei said disdainfully.

"Do you want to go?" Sheng Guixin asked Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing said lazily: "If I don't go, I won't go. He must have been coveting my Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou for a long time. He wants to steal my territory. Unfortunately, he has neither the strength nor the courage. He is a loser... Hey, you are It’s not that you’re not feeling well, why are you shaking like this?”

The messenger sent by King Youzhou was almost crying and wished he could shrink into a quail. Can he hear this? When you say bad things about people, can you go behind their backs?
  "My Majesty has a distinguished status, you, you must not be disrespectful to my Majesty!" the messenger summoned the courage to shout. Zhang Yuqing looked at him as if he were a monkey, "I'm really sorry, I don't think he is noble. Go back to the capital and tell your master that he is not qualified to invite me."

The king of Youzhou cannot be conquered by force, but the powerful vassal kings of Chenliu, Bajun, and others have not come to an end. Any one of them can crush him to death with one finger!

The messenger went back.

The generals on Zhang Yuqing's side were afraid that Zhang Yuqing's words would offend the King of Youzhou, so they secretly prepared their troops and were quite vigilant for a while. However, they found that the King of Youzhou didn't even dare to fart, and suddenly felt that it was boring.

Hey, being invincible in the world is also very lonely!

In recent years, the governance of the three prefectures of Liang, Henan and Qingdao has been on the right track. More and more people have moved to these three prefectures. The development of all walks of life has been like a spurt. Even Zhang Yuqing, a modern soul who has experienced high-tech civilization, cannot bear it. Live in admiration.

No matter what era people are from, as long as they are given enough soil, they can bloom endless flowers of wisdom.

At this time, Fang Qin asked to see Zhang Yuqing and said that Duan Shu wanted to meet her.

Zhang Yuqing's first reaction was to refuse. She had never seen Duan Shu again since Duan Shu and Lu Dewen teamed up to deal with her and supported Lu Wei to become emperor.

"She and I seem to have nothing to talk about," Zhang Yuqing said.

Fang Qin has worked hard over the years, and Zhang Yuqing is not someone who clings to past grudges. But as far as her relationship with the princess is concerned, it means nothing.

She thinks this is good, they don't meet each other. After all, Duanshu was the mother of her husband and the grandmother of her children. She can tolerate Duanshu living and enjoying a noble and decent life, but the premise is that Duanshu no longer has undue ambitions.

Fang Qin said: "The princess prides herself on being a great talent, but she is getting old and doesn't want to waste time in the nunnery. After all, we are all family members, so she is more reliable than outsiders."

Zhang Yuqing curled her lips. Duan Shu couldn't sit still anymore, and she didn't pretend to be far away from the world. Everything was in vain. Seeing Wang Chunniang, Yuan Qin and other women have reached high positions one by one and made outstanding achievements. Duanshu naturally also has the idea of ​​​​rebirth.

"Since Madam is willing to use talents eclectically, please also try the princess' talent." Fang Qin knelt down and begged.

Zhang Yuqing said indifferently: "The reason why relatives are more reliable than outsiders is that they can help each other and become each other's backing. But for someone like the princess, do you think I dare to ask her to be my backing?"

"The princess is also feeling very bitter!" Fang Qin couldn't help but said excitedly.

Zhang Yuqing shook his head, "I am not the one who imprisoned her."

It's Lu Wei.

Fang Qin sighed in disappointment. If Lu Wei was willing to let Duan Shu come out, why would he go to Zhang Yuqing?

"There is one more thing. The princess wants to ask me to give you a message." Fang Qin said again, "Master Lu... and several young masters of the Lu family are still in prison. Many people are talking about this, and they want to attack you and your Excellency. . You and your Excellency are people who will achieve great things, and your reputation cannot be flawed."

Zhang Yuqing chuckled lightly and said with a contemptuous smile, "The person you are talking about is a saint, not someone who wants to achieve great things."

If you want to be a saint, everyone must be satisfied, and people's desires are endless, so does she still want to do things?
  After Fang Qin left, Lu Wei came out of the inner room and put his hand on Zhang Yuqing's shoulder, "I will handle mother's affairs."

He was very lucky to have a smart and clear-thinking wife who could think of everything with him.

People strive to live for their own ideals and ambitions, not to become a saint with a flawless reputation.

Fifteen years later, after Zhang Yuqing took over most of the prefectures and counties across the country, he sent Lu Wei, Sheng Guixin and his eldest son Lu Zhao to divide their troops into three groups and march towards the capital.

This time, Zhang Yuqing no longer sat in the rear. Together with Lu Wei, she embarked on the road to Beijing. The eldest daughter Lu Xiao took over Zhang Yuqing's work and sat in the rear.

Time flies, white horses pass by.

Twenty-five years ago, she and Lu Wei came to Beijing via this road. At that time, they were suspicious of each other and wary of each other.

But now, she will step into the capital through this road again and welcome her glorious era.

Duan Shu: My failure is due to the small size of the situation. I didn’t expect that women can achieve great things. If my sister had used the chicken baby's energy on herself, she would have regained her ancestral heritage. After so many years of chicken babies, chickens come out to dig wild vegetables. Sisters, you should learn from me. Chicken babies are not as good as chickens themselves!
