Chapter 159 The Prince is a Woman 11
Unfortunately, no matter how courageous Madam Jane is, her rebellion today is doomed to fail.
They had not been fully deployed in the first place, so even if they were caught off guard today, Qiu Chi alone could defeat them all.
Even if Qiu Chi only killed those men in black, those royal guards were not there to do nothing.
The most important thing is that General Jian is still loyal to the emperor. He will not take action against Madam Jian and Jian Ninghua, but he can take action against those who follow them in rebellion.
As for the officials who were involved, they were killed by Qiu Chi as soon as they showed the slightest movement.
This rebellion was doomed to fail.
Madam Jian looked at everything before her, took out a dagger and said to General Jian, "I planned everything today. I admit failure, but Jian Wu, Ning Hua is still your son after all. I can die, but he can't! If you are a man, protect him!"
After saying that, Madam Jian looked at Jian Ninghua again, and her voice became gentler: "Ninghua, mother is about to go see your brothers, you have to take care of yourself."
Mrs. Jian actually knew that the possibility of success today was very small, but she was really unwilling to give up, so she actually wanted to persuade General Jian on the spot.
But General Jian was too loyal. She had just accused him of so much, but he still protected the emperor. Madam Jian knew that today's matter was probably doomed to fail.
But even if she failed, she would leave a thorn in the hearts of General Jian and Jian Ninghua.
She didn't know whether General Jian would change his mind because of this, but she knew about her own son.
Mrs. Jane had good intentions, but now things were not entirely under her control.
She wanted to end her life, but was stopped by General Jian.
After having someone keep an eye on Madam Jian, General Jian knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from Madam Jian and Jian Ninghua: "Your Majesty, everything that happened today is my fault. I failed to take good care of them. If you want to punish me, then punish me!"
The puppet emperor looked at Qiu Chi.
Qiu Chi stood beside the emperor and said with a smile, "General Jian, my father and I have witnessed all your efforts over the years. You are just trying to find a way out for your wife and children. It's not impossible. It just depends on whether you are willing to do so."
General Jian is actually a bit of a male chauvinist. When he saw the female crown princess Qiu Chi, he was naturally dissatisfied.
But now the emperor didn't say anything, and Qiu Chi spoke. Even if he had been dissatisfied before, now he had to bow to Qiu Chi in order to save the lives of Madam Jian and Jian Ninghua.
"As long as their lives can be saved, I will do whatever Your Highness wants me to do."
Naturally, some officials were dissatisfied with General Jian's submission to Qiu Chi.
"The emperor is still here, how can a little girl have the right to speak?"
"That's right, since you are a woman, you should give birth to children..."
Qiu Chi didn't waste time talking to the person who was talking and just whipped him.
I won't beat someone to death, but I can beat them half to death.
After one whip, those who originally wanted to say that Qiu Chi was a woman and unworthy of her dared not speak anymore.
Qiu Chi stood on the high platform, looking down at them. "Before you speak, consider the weight of your life. Can you bear the whip in my hand? I am not as merciful as my father. If you dare to disrespect me, I will send you to see the Buddha."
After dealing with the dissatisfied officials, Qiu Chi looked at General Jian again and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to die. Go to the border and guard it first. They will take good care of you."
General Jian not only agreed to go to the border, but also presented the military command to Qiuchi.
Qiu Chi took the military order and ordered his men to take Madam Jian and Jian Ninghua away and lock them up separately.
Then he looked at the puppet emperor and said, "Now that everything has been resolved, it's time for Father to pass on the throne, right?"
The puppet emperor naturally did whatever Qiu Chi said and gave the imperial seal to Qiu Chi.
Under the dissatisfied yet fearful gazes of those officials, Qiu Chi became the first empress in history, and her coronation ceremony was held half a month later.
*
Qiu Chi became the empress, but the person who reviewed the memorials was still the top scholar.
Now that she had become the emperor, her fake relationship with the third place winner was naturally no longer valid. In order to make the third place winner do things willingly, Qiu Chi even specially granted him a marriage.
The third place winner was overjoyed and worked much harder.
Naturally, some officials refuted this news. Their reasoning was: "The third place winner is your Majesty's man, how can he..."
Qiu Chi interrupted him, "Why not? I do what I want. Why do I need you to question me?"
The Empress Qiu Chi did not have a good reputation because she was too arbitrary.
When she issued an order on the day of her ascension to the throne that women could go to school and serve as officials in the court, it caused a huge sensation. The officials at that time not only disagreed, but some even wanted to commit suicide by hitting their heads against the pillars to serve as a warning.
Sadly, Qiu Chi didn't care about how future generations would judge her. She simply smiled at the official who was so overreacting that he was about to hit his head against a pillar and said, "Want to die? Why bother? I kill people very quickly. I'll definitely not make you feel any pain at all."
"Don't worry, after you die, your family will be safe and sound. After all, I am not a cruel person and will not implicate your family because of you."
What Qiu Chi said was actually the truth, but to others, it was pure danger.
Some of them also wanted to ask the retired emperor for help, but the retired emperor stayed indoors and refused to come out, saying that whatever Qiu Chi said was the truth.
Qiu Chi didn't care about their various methods at all. If anyone had any ill intentions, she would kill him herself.
In the end, they had no choice but to accept it and were always trembling with fear when attending court.
Qiu Chi has the final say in the court.
Qiuchi was very satisfied with these.
After handing the memorial to the third place winner again, Qiuchi went to see Jian Ninghua.
Jian Ninghua and Mrs. Jian are separated.
Although the treatment seemed okay, they were not allowed to step out of the room. Mrs. Jane was strong-willed and could have endured it, but not being able to see Jane Ninghua made her feel a little unfair. This unfairness made her become more and more impetuous as time passed.
In comparison, Jian Ninghua was very unlucky.
On the day of the rebellion, Qiu Chi's vigor in whipping one man in black after another had already made Jian Ninghua have vague guesses in his mind.
When Qiu Chi went to see him, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it you?"
Qiu Chi didn't hide it and nodded: "Yes, it's me."
Jian Ninghua's expression immediately turned ugly: "Why did you do this?"
Hearing Jian Ninghua's question, Qiu Chi thought he was a little funny: "I don't like you, and you are a loser, do you have the right to ask why?"
Jian Ninghua's expression turned even uglier: "You know we're planning a rebellion..."
"Of course I know. What a pity. You're a loser. How could you possibly accomplish anything?"
Jian Ninghua was easily irritated, and now without Mrs. Jian as a soothing agent, he was locked in the room and not allowed to step out. Even if Qiu Chi just came to irritate him because he was bored, his condition was still not much better.
Qiu Chi was so kind as to ask someone to tell Mrs. Jian about Jian Ninghua's affairs.
As for General Jian, Qiu Chi didn't want him to guard the border for long because she had other ideas.
It would be fine if she didn't become the empress, but now that she is, she must expand her territory and build a career.
