After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

"You still have to pursue a career in politics." Qin Yao said calmly.

The rules governing the operation of this society are the same as those of feudal society.

If you want to live a good life and not be sacrificed easily, you have to climb up.

Constantly crossing classes and gaining class privileges.

But how high he can climb depends on Liu Ji's own ability.

Qin Feng worriedly asked, "Won't the Holy Queen and the Imperial Master interfere?"

In reality, there are many examples of people offending the powerful and being treated unfairly.

Qin Yao shook her head. "I'm not sure about other things, but Liu Ji will not be treated unfairly in the examination room."

Qin Feng looked at his sister in surprise. Why was she so sure?

Qin Yao explained: "Qi Xianguan is also a disciple of Gong Liangliao, but the Holy Queen has been very close to the Qi family recently. Since she can cooperate with the Qi family, it means that the matter of Gong Liangliao has been put to rest."

"The emperor is seriously ill now. On the surface, the crown prince and the eldest princess are jointly regulating the country, but in fact, the queen is the one who holds the power."

"The struggle between the old noble families and the new nobles has now entered a white-hot stage. The Holy Queen obviously needs the support of the new nobles, so she will break the old rules and serve as the chief examiner for this spring examination."

"According to Liu Ji and other scholars, all the Jinshi of this year are considered disciples of the Holy Empress."

Qin Yao analyzed to Qin Feng: "When looking at things, you can't just look at the present. If you look at the broader space and time scale, you can see that the Holy Queen is laying out a big picture."

"What game?" Qin Feng swallowed secretly, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Qin Yao chuckled and waved her hand to signal her brother not to be so nervous, but did not directly say what the game was.

I just told him about the wild articles that have been circulating in the market recently as interesting stories.

The more Qin Feng listened, the wider his eyes widened, "No way?"

Women also want to be king?

"But isn't the prince fine now?"

According to Qin Feng's understanding, now that the emperor is seriously ill, he has given the important task of regulating the country to the crown prince, which means that the crown prince's position is very stable.

To be disrespectful, if the emperor passes away, it would be natural for the prince to ascend the throne.

Even if the Holy Queen holds great power and her son becomes the emperor, she will give up the power in her hands sooner or later.

After all, the former empress dowager and the new emperor were all like this.

If power is not delegated, there will be a court struggle.

The outcome is either that the emperor is replaced, or that the empress dowager retreats to the harem and no longer participates in politics.

The choice is very clear, it's either one or two.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Brother, let's expand the scope. In addition to one and two, we can also have three, or even four."

Qin Fengteng stood up and waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he couldn't imagine it and even found it a little unacceptable.

It's weird, very weird, for a woman to be a king.

Qin Yao looked at Qin Feng's reaction and sighed inwardly.

To be honest, ever since Xu Wenqing took the initiative to reveal her purpose to the world bit by bit, she has been a little impressed by this woman.

Even her brother, a man with no vested interest in the matter, felt subconsciously uncomfortable after hearing it.

Not to mention the old ministers in the court.

The pressure is probably unbearable for ordinary people.

This shows Xu Wenqing's ability to withstand pressure is very strong.

In the eyes of court officials, if they allowed Xu Wenqing to continue to be so powerful, what they would have to worry about would no longer be as simple as who would become king.

There is also the question of whether the Sheng Kingdom’s surname is Xu or Baili.

If Xu Wenqing really achieves her goal, to which family will the throne be passed after a hundred years?
If this issue cannot be resolved properly, the world that has finally been stabilized will probably fall apart again.

The feudal imperial system is fundamentally designed to firmly safeguard the dominant position of men.

If Xu Wenqing wanted to be the king, she could not just make a test and satisfy her desire to be the king. She had to fundamentally solve the system of the royal family's "family rule".

But judging from the current social productivity, it is not enough for Xu Wenqing to overthrow the existing system.

So she could only modify the inheritance system to the greatest extent possible.

When the husband dies, the wife inherits the property, and the wife, daughter and son all have the right of inheritance.

Then this world still belongs to the Baili family.

Judging from the current situation of the struggle between the two forces, this is the most moderate plan that will not disrupt the existing distribution of interests.

Even though Qin Yao's intuition told her that Xu Wenqing wanted more than this.

But considering the limited lifespan of humans, Xu Wenqing can only go this far before he dies.

Now, whenever Qin Yao thinks of Xu Wenqing, she feels complicated.

On the one hand, she admired her courage and determination to change the world.

On the other hand, she actually doesn't like this kind of extreme means of achieving the goal by any means necessary, even sacrificing others or even oneself.

But some people also say that whenever there is change there will be bloodshed and sacrifice.

Therefore, let all merits and demerits be left to future generations to judge.

Qin Feng walked around Qin Yao's room several times and finally stopped.

But looking at his conflicted expression, he probably still needs to digest the amount of information Qin Yao gave him today.

Qin Feng asked: "Did you also tell Liu Ji about these things? Does he know everything?"

Qin Yao shook her head, "I haven't told him."

Qin Feng was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Yao continue to add: "But he must have guessed it."

"Liu Ji is actually not completely useless. He is the kind of person who can adapt to new things and new environments the fastest, so no matter where he is placed, he can live well."

"Of course, this person's flaws are also very fatal. He can only take care of himself and live a good life."

Qin Feng: Why don’t you divorce your husband?
But I just thought about it in my mind and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Because the next moment, his sister was bewitched by the coquettish Liu Ji and didn't want to leave.

The brother and sister adjusted the information and returned to the main hall.

The food has been served, smelling delicious, and is waiting for the two of them to sit down.

Liu Ji hurriedly asked his brother-in-law to sit down, then pulled out a stool for his wife and sat next to her.

Everyone sat down at the table.

Let’s eat!
Qin Yao drank the hot soup brought by Liu Ji while eating the meat that he had picked out the bones from.

Looking at Liu Ji's handsome face which was becoming more and more refined, his crossed legs were swaying up and down under the table.

Just three words: beautiful!

Qin Feng watched secretly and sighed in his heart.

But you have to pamper your own sister even if you have to kneel down!

It just so happened that Qin Feng had to go around making arrangements before the New Year, so he planned to bring Liu Ji with him.

This excited Liu Ji, and at night he ran to Qin Yao's room with a bottle of hot water for washing feet and spoke well of his uncle for a full quarter of an hour.

But no matter how much nice words he said, when it was time for Qin Yao to go to bed, he had to leave.

Liu Ji gritted his teeth secretly, stared fiercely at the bed covered with fox fur, and swore secretly - sooner or later, I will spend the night here!
Qin Yao narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Huh? You're not leaving yet?"

Sensing the chill hidden under that lazy look, Liu Ji smiled awkwardly and said, "My lady, please have a rest."

She quickly carried the foot basin out of the room, blew out the candlestick, and closed the door considerately.

Liu Ji stood outside the door, glanced at the room behind him, and sighed with regret.

After a pause, she thought about her brother-in-law taking her to meet those dignitaries tomorrow, and she became excited again, and left with joyful steps. (End of this chapter)
