Chapter 23 The tragic general Jin in Long Ao Tianwen (23)
Of course His Majesty is willing!
After Wen Shangyi's death, there was almost no turmoil in Shangjing City.
Looking at Shi Xun who appeared in Shangjing City, many people actually felt that the dust had settled as expected.
The Holy One was so afraid of the Shi family that last winter, he even did cruel things such as deducting military pay and disregarding the lives of soldiers.
Should those thousands of soldiers freeze to death at the border?
The Shi family will either rebel in the end, or they will be killed by the Holy Sage.
They only have two options.
I am a loyal minister, but it is a pity that I have not met a wise king.
This is something that almost everyone is aware of.
So now, when someone is accused of treason, even the Queen's mother family, the Bai family, has come out to support the Shi family.
Naturally, no one will come out and say anything nonsense.
The royal family was already losing its heirs, and the only young prince was killed by his own mother and concubine, leaving the country with no heirs.
So, after a month of high-sounding but forced efforts, Shi Xun finally ascended the throne.
Yes, it was Shi Xun, not Shi Yuanzhou.
Shi Yuanzhou died at the border.
When Shi Xun led his people back to the capital, foreign tribesmen at the border attacked him secretly, and Shi Yuanzhou died in the raid.
When he received the military report from the border, Shi Xun thought he had read it wrong.
Their father and son have been fighting against foreigners for decades, so they naturally know the other party's routines and methods best.
Moreover, the sneak attack recorded in the military newspaper was only a small-scale sneak attack involving 10,000 people. My father was not unprepared, nor would he be caught in this sneak attack.
Moreover, our side only lost a few hundred people, and the casualties and losses were not huge at all. Why did the Lord fall? !
But after Shi Ran saw the military report, he instantly understood Shi Yuanzhou's plan.
She shook her head to stop her brother's order to prepare for a thorough investigation, dismissed everyone in the room, and whispered, "Maybe this is my father's decision. My father has already made his decision since he asked you to go to the capital alone."
Shi Xun reacted immediately.
A very complicated expression appeared on his face, which had become increasingly tired due to recent hard work day and night.
There is relief, there is hatred, there is anger.
Finally, everything falls silent.
"As expected, he was still loyal to his late emperor. A chance encounter cost him his life. What a model of a wise king and a virtuous minister! Unfortunately, his two children killed the only bloodline left by the late emperor to whom he was loyal. When he reaches the underworld, he can no longer face his late emperor! "
Shi Xun had complicated thoughts in his heart.
He didn't know how to deal with his father's death.
Is allegiance really that important?
It was important enough for him to ignore his mother's death, enough for him to pretend to be deaf and mute for so many years, and to shed his blood for an emperor who was extremely stupid.
Shi Ran sighed.
She couldn't evaluate Shi Yuanzhou's behavior, but she also knew that Shi Yuanzhou's death at the border was the best outcome for Shi Xun and herself.
In his heart, the word "loyalty to the king" trumped everything else.
More important than love, more important than family affection, even more important than himself.
As long as he lives, he will feel guilty for the Wen family.
But at this moment, he died, and he died on the battlefield defending his family and country, which was equivalent to completely destroying the name of the Shi family's loyalty.
Those gossips whispered in the corners have become obsolete from now on.
He used his own bones to step on the last step for Shi Xun's ascension to the throne.
After that, everything went smoothly.
When Xun ascended the throne, he changed the name of the country to Dayi.
When he canonized Ran, she was the eldest princess and her title was Taiping.
Taiping means peace and stability.
Princesses in the previous dynasties were often titled with words such as soft, respectful, obedient, and peaceful.
The word "Taiping" is really special.
But Shi Ran likes it.
Along with the imperial edict of canonizing the eldest princess, there was also an edict ordering the eldest princess Taiping to join the Ministry of Industry. The official position was to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
At the same time, Cui Zhenyi, a great hero, also joined the Ministry of Work.
Of course, in addition to Cui Zhenyi, Shi Xun also appointed six female officials to join the court at the same time.
This time the court was shocked.
In the past dynasties, when was there any precedent for women to serve as officials in the same dynasty as men? !
Countless courtiers knelt directly outside the Zichen Hall of the newly enthroned Holy Lord.
They prayed and relied on the power of the ministers to allow His Majesty to withdraw this absurd edict.
But Shi Xun didn't smell Shangyi.
He will not change his decision easily just because the ministers kneel down on his knees.
In particular, this decision is obviously beneficial to the country and the people, but it only affects the interests of some men.
So, after the ministers knelt for three days, and some people fainted one after another without seeing Shi Xun, some people gradually began to retreat.
This new emperor was born from fighting on the battlefield, and his words and deeds carry the bloody atmosphere of the battlefield. If you really piss him off, someone might be killed.
But if they were allowed to withdraw like this, many people were still unwilling to do so.
At this moment, Shi Ran came, bringing Cui Zhenyi and her newly developed weapon.
Kongxiao long crossbow.
A long crossbow as tall as one person was placed in the open space outside the Zichen Palace. In the horrified eyes of everyone, the seemingly weak eldest princess neatly loaded three fine iron long arrows, and then simply pulled the bow.
The long arrow passed directly through the official hats of several adults, tore the air, and directly hit the stone statue erected hundreds of meters away.
There are three long swords, two arrows hit both eyes, and one arrow hits the center of the mouth.
"boom!"
The stone statue cracked at the sound and broke into several pieces.
Among the ministers kneeling there, many touched their heads that had lost their official hats and sat down on the ground with their legs weak.
What kind of weapon is this? If this were shot on a person, wouldn't it mean that the entire body would be destroyed?
In the Zichen Palace, His Highness, who had been refusing to see the ministers, finally showed up.
He clapped his hands in relief, and then looked at Shi Ran and Cui Zhenyi behind her.
"This thing developed by my two dear friends is very good. In the future, it will definitely help our Dayi army expand its territory on the battlefield. Dear sirs, do you think so?"
What else can anyone say?
They were trembling with fear at this moment, and half of their lives were shot away by the crossbow arrows.
From then on, no one dared to question the fact that a woman was an official.
They knew that the eldest princess could really shoot them through with an arrow, and their majesty would definitely act like she didn't know anything.
Therefore, Shi Ran and Cui Zhenyi appeared in front of Cen Jing at this moment.
They are already official officials who enjoy the royal salary at a genuine price.
Not only the two of them, Shi Xunhui will soon plan to relax gender restrictions in the imperial examination, and women can also become officials in the imperial examination.
Although this road is difficult, but with the people who started it, no matter how difficult it is later, there will be people who will be inspired to keep going.
"Cen Jing, I once thought that we came from the same era and were people who could truly move forward side by side, but later I discovered that was not the case."
After all, only women can understand women.
Cui Zhenyi sighed softly, feeling sorry for her confusion.
Fortunately, she found a true like-minded person.
"Zhenyi, you told her everything, aren't you afraid that one day she will burn down the bridge and kill you! We are people from the same era, and only I can truly understand you!"
Cen Jing knew that he would not survive, but he was unwilling to give in.
Until the last moment, he was still trying to drive a wedge between Cui Zhenyi and Shi Ran.
But Cui Zhenyi just sneered.
"So what if I cross the river and burn the bridge? At the very least, Her Royal Highness the Princess has allowed me to do what I dream of doing for all the women in the world. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."
Moreover, she believed Shi Ran wouldn't.
Although he didn't know who the companion beside Shi Ran was who was also a time traveler, Cui Zhenyi could tell that the companion trusted Shi Ran very much and taught Shi Ran almost all the knowledge of modern times.
This cannot be obtained through coercion.
It requires extremely careful teaching and teaching.
Later, she learned that Shi Ran once had a female wife. The two had similar temperaments and became good friends.
Unfortunately, God was jealous of Yingcai, and the lady later contracted an emergency and died soon after.
Cui Zhenyi thought that that person might be his fellow traveler.
She left early, but she lit a fire in Shi Ran's heart, and in the end, she also ignited herself.
Therefore, Cui Zhenyi trusted Shi Ran very much.
She would never allow Cen Jing, a bastard, to question Shi Ran.
Faced with this question, Shi Ran just smiled. She stepped closer to Cen Jing and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, "Don't worry, Cen Jing, I will treat Cui Zhenyi well. After all, After I died, she was the only one in the harem who sincerely offered me a stick of incense. As for you, you got the wealth through deception in your previous life, and you will eventually pay it back in this life. Sadomasochistic love is deep, so you should try it. Taste this."
After saying that, before Cen Jing could react from this pile of information, Shi Ran stood up and said loudly, "The traitor Cen Jing is guilty of an unforgivable crime. Now he will be sentenced to Ling Chi and executed!"
The executioner who followed behind him came forward with a wooden box of tools.
Amidst Cen Jing's horrified screams, he took action.
Cui Zhenyi slowly closed her eyes.
All this is finally over.
