Chapter 96: The Qing Dynasty Wearing a Sieve (29)

The imperial concubine finally came forward, but what the ministers did not expect was that she persuaded the ministers to regard Yinzhen as the emperor on the grounds that Elder Fifteen was young. Some ministers raised the issue of Yinzhen’s infertility, and the imperial concubine said indifferently:
In all ages, not everyone who succeeded to the throne was a parent and child of the previous emperor. Prince Yong will come to the throne and will choose the most suitable heir. "
The officials were a little dumbfounded, and even Tong Guowei couldn't believe that the imperial concubine would give up the throne that was within easy reach, and instead let the parents and children take the place. He took the opportunity to ask the imperial concubine privately, "Is the empress threatened by Prince Yong? I heard that Xuan Ying has been living in Chengqian Palace. Could it be that she..."
The imperial concubine frowned, "What did Ama say? Xuanying came to accompany me because she was afraid of my sadness. Otherwise, how could Ama have a chance to see me? Think about it, Ama, Xiao Fifteen always hates reading and writing. I only like to dance knives and guns, and listen to stories. I only like to listen to those who fight on the battlefield. Where is the material for being an emperor? Besides, if he grows up with that ability, Yinzhen will definitely make him the emperor's brother. Without that ability, even if we put him in the position now, he won't be able to do it long."
Tong Guowei persisted in persuading and persuading, no matter how he could not persuade the imperial concubine, he could only frown and leave. With the words of the imperial concubine, those who supported Yinzhen in the DPRK no longer considered it, and they all went to the throne to invite Yinzhen to ascend the throne. After Dumbele led his army back to the dynasty and buried Kangxi in the imperial tomb, Yinzhen finally officially ascended the throne with the support of his courtiers and several princes and changed his country's name to "Yongzheng".
The imperial concubine was named the queen mother, Su Yuanyuan was the queen, and the adult princes were all princes. Because the factors of instability had long been removed, there was no turbulence before and after ascending the throne, and the transition of imperial power was successfully completed.
The Kangxi in the imperial mausoleum was transformed by Su Yuanyuan with a piece of wood. The real Kangxi had a temper several times in the secret room, and his anger continued, but he also succumbed to the weakness, and his power was gradually disintegrating. Anger will not help.
Three months after Yinzhen ascended the throne, Lao Jiu prepared the fleet, and Lao Ba also distributed the power in his hands to others. Then Kangxi, the imperial concubine, the Lao Ba couple and the twins boarded the ship together and headed to the other side of the ocean. Accompanying them to protect them are Kangxi's dark guards, as well as a few blood drops and sticky members. These people are not only protecting the master, but also shouldering the heavy responsibility of exploring foreign technology. Yinzhen is not afraid that Kangxi will come back, because when he arrives in a foreign country, he will find a ship and come back, and then plan to seize the position. It is too late for anything, so he even Kangxi’s secret guards are taken away directly by Kangxi, only hope they can make sure in a foreign country. Safety.
It was said that the old man was ordered to visit Weifu privately. In the next few years, he will travel all over the country to hide his identity and uncover people who are corrupt and perverted. The imperial concubine moved into the hot spring villa with a pair of children, thanking guests behind closed doors and not allowing anyone to disturb. In this way, Yinzhen sent them away from the country without knowing the truth. He also hoped that Kangxi and Lao Ba could learn something back. The learning ability of these two people is still very strong.
With great power in hand, Yinzhen did not rush to make big moves, but slowly dispersed the power of some Manchu officials to others. The promoted officials are all open-minded people who want to blend between the Manchus and Hans. Those who think they are superior and have a sense of superiority have been transferred from the center of power for various reasons. Several important ministers discovered this incident afterwards, and at the same time they became anxious for their own family. They asked Yinzheng about Yinzhen's intentions.
Su Yuanyuan looked through the memorials that Yinzhen had thrown next to him in the imperial library, touched his chin, and showed a mischievous smile, "It's better for me to scare them and show them all the dirty things in private. Look at them. Dare to say this or that."
Yinzhen was stunned, and there was nothing wrong with thinking about it. He nodded and said, "Be careful, come back early. I'll wait for you to have dinner together."
"Do not worry!"
Su Yuanyuan asked for evidence of crimes from several ministers from the place where the sticks were glued. Each of them had a booklet in which they included records of which children they spoiled their wives and treated harshly. After reading it, Su Yuanyuan smiled with satisfaction, went to the house of a few adults in stealth, put the book on their desk, and saw that the few people were scared to death, and two of them were even too sick. It's coming!
Since then, Su Yuanyuan has unearthed many magical uses of spells and has truly become Yinzhen's greatest helper!
In the past few years, Yinzhen eliminated dissidents from the court and achieved complete imperial despotism. Su Yuanyuan occasionally went to the people to find a few officials who were corrupt and perverted the law. Quan was supposed to be the work of the old bachelor of the "microservice private visit", which made the Manchu civil and military more cautious, for fear that one day they would be caught out of something wrong. For a time, the court atmosphere became a solemn one.
He reformed the law step by step, so that everyone would not need to suffer any punishment if they told their elders and officials. As long as they were justified, they could get the most fair judgment. Once an unjust and wrong case is discovered, never be merciless! After severely handling several unjust cases, no official in this regard dared to commit another crime. Through the press, the people learned that they no longer need to be afraid of those government servants and corrupt officials, and they cried with joy.
In the past few years, the first peasant girl, Song, has also worked with people to research methods of raising pigs and chickens. Now every household in the countryside has food, poultry and livestock. When disasters occur, the queen empress will let Dubao Stores and Yurongyuan and other chain stores give porridge and clothes, and the emperor will send imperial ministers to the disaster relief. No one is worried about being starved and frozen.
If the people live and work in peace, the economy will naturally prosper. Yinzhen canceled the classification of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, set up academies to teach agricultural planting, encouraged the teaching of various skills, and supported the development of commerce. This move won the gratitude of all businessmen, and their children and grandchildren will also be able to take the imperial examinations and embark on official careers in the future. Since then, they have to donate food to help the court in disaster relief.
Cement roads have been built in many parts of the country, bicycles and rickshaws have been made, and many talented people are working day and night in research institutes established by the country to study new technologies that can enable the country to develop. Dai Zi, a mechanical genius who was invited back by Yinzhen, is even more outstanding. He has seen foreign guns and can be imitated in a few days. Now he has given him full inspiration and support. The military’s weaponry is changing every year. Strong years.
Those insurgents against Qing and Ming were suppressed. Now the common people and Le, not many people are willing to rebel with them. On the contrary, the people still love the current emperor very much, because Yinzhen proposed the Manchu and Han family. All ethnic groups on this land are family members, and they really feel that there is no longer a hierarchy between different ethnic groups. Even the Eight Banners have been cancelled.
Several major families of the Manchu surnames have resisted, but at that time Yinzhen had already become a major force. With weapons in hand, how could they resist? Yinzhen did a lot of work, and finally solved the real national problem ten years later. At the same time, he abolished the tedious etiquette and changed the title of the country to a concise and domineering "empire."
When Yinzhen worked endlessly to reform for ten years, Su Yuanyuan was not idle. She often helped Yinzhen to do things that ordinary people couldn't do, and always achieved the best results without knowing it. Then she devoted herself to brainwashing the people, holding up the Li and Song as female representatives, praising the aristocratic ladies who do business by themselves, and letting everyone know that women are useful.
After the research institute researched the technology of mass papermaking, Su Yuanyuan set up a women's newspaper to tell them the stories of many powerful women such as Mulan and Wu Zetian. With Yinzhen's protection, even if someone is dissatisfied, she can't help it. She also abolished "Female Precepts" and "Female Training" and set up many women's colleges to teach women various practical skills such as reading, literacy, self-defense, medical skills, and design.
However, none of the women who graduated from the Women's College can be underestimated, even because they have to prove themselves, cherish the opportunities they get, and learn better than many men. After the first batch of women's colleges graduated, they completely overturned everyone's perception of women. It turned out that for so many years, men were suppressing women. Otherwise, how could they be allowed to beat and scold women?
Su Yuanyuan promulgated a law prohibiting the buying and selling of human beings and abolished the deed of selling one’s life. If anyone dares to buy or sell humans, he will be punished heavily. Of course, if someone wants to hire someone, they can still sign an employment contract and hire some servants to go home. The first one to take the lead is the palace. In the future, the maids and eunuchs are not just servants who signed a contract with them, and anyone who doesn't want to do it can leave.
Because she and Yinzhen have lived in modern society for two lives, and they have perfected many laws and regulations very well, so that there will be no major disturbances during the trial implementation. The few who want to take advantage of the loopholes and fish in troubled waters have been strongly suppressed.
After the Qing Dynasty was changed to an empire, Su Yuanyuan and Yinzhen simply moved out of the palace, and the ministers did not need to go to court anymore. Instead, they sat around the table in the meeting room and reported their work every morning. Su Yuanyuan was sitting next to Yinzhen. She was the first female official to hold power in the empire in a fair and honest manner. After that, a few of them passed the imperial examination, and Su Yuanyuan promoted them, and then there were outstanding women’s academies. The highest conference room is no longer the world of men.
There are not a few women serving as officials in all parts of the country, and there are more and more trends like modern development. Ullanarah, who had been watching developments before, became one of the officials. Nian opened an art academy where he taught women to draw, sing, dance, and perform, and after they had completed their studies, they would earn money by acting. The remaining few were worn later. Seeing that the Qing Dynasty has become like this, naturally they no longer have any ideas. They don’t have any special skills, but rely on various subjects in modern studies, most of them have been found. Nice career.
After ten years of hard work, in exchange for such a prosperous scene, Yinzhen and Su Yuanyuan were very surprised. They did not expect to be so smooth. This is also thanks to the full help of several brothers. Although they have not understood, they grew up together. After all, those subtle influences changed their minds and made them agree with Yinzhen's political views.
Ten years later, Kangxi and Lao Ba finally came back. Although Kangxi hated Yinzhen for the destruction of Qing Dynasty, in the past ten years in foreign countries, he also had to admit that Yinzhen really had the world, from beginning to end. There is no selfishness. He couldn't figure out how he taught, why is this son so rebellious? Not even the world laid down by the ancestors. But the matter was over, he couldn't do anything to take the throne back, so he could only swallow this breath and scold Yinzhen severely, never giving him a good face again.
Lao Ba had completely changed his exquisite temperament and looked more like a determined soldier. Once he came back, he talked with Yinzhen secretly for a long time, then resumed his official position and fully supported Yinzhen's reform. The advanced technology he brought back also made the Institute a treasure. Many research bottlenecks broke through and many new things were researched.
Tsarist Russia, Mongolia, Dongyang and other places invaded again, and the old ten, the old thirteen, the old fourteen and the young fifteen each led the bravest army to defeat them. The firearms and cannons ahead of them were an eye-opener, and they were shocked. I don't know when this lagging country actually took off. Under Kangxi's insistence, Xiao Fifteen directly stepped on Dongyang Island, and there will never be any "Sick Man of East Asia" or "biochemical experiment" after that.
Sometimes when Kangxi looked at the towering palace, he would sigh in his heart, really wanting to kill the fourth son! But having such a son is really unspeakable pride.
