Chapter 531 [The whole class started arguing]

Before dawn the next day, Zheng Qin set out lightly, driving a simple horse-drawn carriage with Emperor Qingning.

Jiang Wanyue, her daughter and the empress dowager set off one step later in the carriage. The mother and daughter had not yet been wanted, so it was convenient for them to go to Siyang City with the empress dowager disguised as an old woman.

Before dawn, Zheng Qin held the reins of the carriage tightly, and the carriage bumped forward on the rugged mountain road.

It would take Emperor Qingning half a year to recover from the injuries on his lower body, and he was currently being tossed around in the carriage.

They went down the mountain, changed to the prepared donkey cart, and followed the path that the backpack told him.

Nothing happened along the way!

As time passed, Zheng Qin looked up at the sky. The sun had already set, leaving only a faint red glow on the horizon. Time was running out; he had to find a hiding place before dark.

Zheng Qin and Emperor Qingning got off the donkey cart, quickened their pace, and turned into a narrow mountain path.

The path was overgrown with weeds, and occasionally a few wild rabbits would dart out from the grass, startling him. Zheng Qin clutched the backpack tightly in his arms and looked around vigilantly.

As the night gradually darkened, Zheng Qin finally found a huge rock in a secluded valley. Behind the rock was a depression that was perfect for hiding.

He quickly took Emperor Qingning and hid inside, holding his breath and waiting quietly. The only sound in his ears was the rustling of leaves by the wind and the occasional barking of dogs in the distance, which seemed particularly clear.

As time passed, Zheng Qin's heartbeat gradually stabilized.

He looked at the sky, estimated that it was past midnight, and quietly poked his head out from his hiding place.

There was complete silence all around, not a single human voice. He breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his backpack, and continued walking along the path towards Siyang City with the blind Emperor Qingning.

The path ended in a bamboo forest. Passing through it, the walls of Siyang City became faintly visible. Zheng Qin quickened his pace, secretly feeling relieved.

Sure enough, what the backpack said was right!

He and Emperor Qingning disguised themselves as a father and son entering the city from the countryside. It was already past midnight, and the two of them approached the city gate safely.

It was already late at night, and the guards at the city gate were tired and lax in their checks. Zheng Qin, disguised as a man, led Emperor Qingning among several farmers entering the city and passed the inspection smoothly. The moment he stepped into the city, he breathed a sigh of relief, the weight of his heart finally falling.

As they left, they heard the guard behind them say, "Who exactly is escorting the convoy at midnight today? How could they have so many escorts from the Yuelai Escort Agency?"

"Don't ask about the Yuelai Escort Agency."

...

Zheng Qin held the backpack tightly in his hands.

It was worth it for him to sacrifice all the undercover agents planted in Prince Zhao's palace in exchange for this backpack.

He planned to store all his belongings in the backpack space when he returned to his nest, as a "recharge", which would make it convenient to spend them in the future and to escape if anything happened.

Something that happens once in a century has happened.

There was an argument in the class chat group.

If we directly copy the modern system and institutions, it will be too advanced and the people will not be able to accept it at once. We have to proceed step by step and elect someone to be the monarch to preside over the daily affairs of the court. However, the monarch does not have the power of autocracy. He is a bit like the leader of a class, who makes decisions based on the opinions of all class committees.

It is rare for the whole class to have arguments like this one.

@Jiang Lili: I won't take it. I'm just an English major, so I'm not qualified for that position. Logistics is fine for me. Otherwise, I could be the squad leader. Squad leaders have experience leading a class, and by extension, experience leading the nation.

@Squad Leader Qi Yun (Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital): I'm just a medical student! What would happen to my medical school if I became emperor? I suddenly remembered someone with the right experience for this position. @Sheng Zhixing, aren't you the Emperor of Nanzhao? You were born to be emperor!

@Sheng Zhixing (criminal investigation expert): Help! Please let me, a fifty-year-old man, go. Can you let me retire peacefully? @Xue Wei, he's already been the Governor of Northwest China. He's only two steps away from becoming emperor. Why not let him experience the feeling of promotion?

@学委員薛蔚: I graduated from the University of Political Science and Law, and my first choice is to become the head of the Ministry of Justice. Don't cue me about this; I'm busy writing new laws!

After arguing for a while, everyone turned their attention to the Xin family.

Xin Che wants to accompany Jiang Lili to travel around the world. Xin Che's parents are old now and want to live in the capital for retirement. Why not just live in the palace for retirement!

In this way, with the senior veterans in charge, if these people don’t want to go to work, they can ask for leave at any time and there will be someone to cover their backs.

Xin Chong thought he'd settled down and be able to enjoy his retirement and take care of his grandchildren, but he never imagined he'd be left to fend for himself by a bunch of scoundrels. With tears in his eyes, he accepted the training manual Xue Wei thrust at him. Under the supervision of this study committee member, he figured out the functions of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Commerce, and what a modern legal system is.

In just three days, the capital and even the whole of Dasheng changed.

But after understanding the whole story, the people were only slightly shocked and quickly accepted it. In their opinion, the Xin family was an absolutely suitable monarch.

The change of dynasties had no negative impact on the lives of the people, and even made their lives better.

The people were pleasantly surprised to find that after the territory of Dasheng expanded, they had more places to go. Moreover, it turned out that the scary grassland Valkyrie in the rumors was actually the third daughter of the Xin family who was sent to marry a foreign prince. After that, the people's views on the Bol grassland changed.

The people of the family have been wary of the covetous Bor grassland for a long time. Now they find that the Xin family has completely controlled the Bor grassland. The grassland cavalry listens to the third lady of the Xin family, and their previous worries have become unnecessary.

After all, the grassland is now strong in both men and horses. If they wanted to attack Dasheng, they would have sent troops to fight long ago. Now, the Khan actually accompanied the third lady back to visit the Xin couple and her parents' home. It is simply a strange thing!

Even the marriage story of Xin Ningyu and Yan Chaoyue has become a legend among the people. The third daughter of the Xin family tamed the wild horse of the grassland Khan with her own strength, making the people of the grassland willing to bow down and follow her.

In just three days, the prices of grapes and fruits from foreign countries, which were previously very high, have dropped a lot, and ordinary people can occasionally buy a pound or two to try them.

Furthermore, with the vast territory of Dasheng, opportunities for prosperity abounded. Officials went to Loulan to conduct business, to the grasslands to learn horse training, and upon returning from trading cattle and sheep, the common people were amazed to discover how vast the world around them could become!

I can’t imagine how powerful the Dasheng Association would have become if the emperor at that time had not been wary of the Xin family’s achievements and was full of suspicion, but had instead fully supported the Xin family.
