Chapter 160 The Crown Prince is a Woman 12
Qiu Chi's intention to personally lead the army to conquer neighboring countries once again made the officials in the court worried.
"Your Majesty, it would be extremely dangerous to lead the army in person. If you want to conquer the neighboring countries, why not just let General Jian go? You don't have to go."
These officials are also poisonous. They know that Qiu Chi is very powerful and arbitrary, but they still can't help but come out to persuade him.
Although they were full of complaints against Qiu Chi, they said, "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day. You must not put yourself in danger!"
Qiu Chi had heard enough of their talk: "Do I need you to tell me what I want to do? Just mind yourselves. Don't act rashly when I'm not in the Imperial City."
Being domineering also has its advantages.
Even though they strongly disagreed with Qiu Chi's decision and wanted to persuade him earnestly, they all shut up as soon as Qiu Chi opened his mouth.
As for the fact that they had ulterior motives when Qiu Chi was not in the capital, they actually wanted to have such thoughts as well. But now that they had been working under Qiu Chi for a while, and recalled the scene of the succession that day, they couldn't help but break out in cold sweats and were glad that they had been honest.
So even if Qiu Chi wants to lead the army in person, they dare not have any other thoughts in the short term.
Qiu Chi was going to lead the army in person, so naturally the task of supervising the country was left to the third place in the imperial examination.
A puppet emperor can also come in handy.
Although she wanted to pass the throne to the third place winner, she didn't want to foster his ambition.
What she wanted to do was pass the throne to him, instead of him coveting the throne. The nature of the matter was different.
After arranging matters in the imperial city, Qiu Chi set off for the border.
Qiu Chi doesn't like to play tricks and schemes, but she is very strong in fighting.
Her arrival also significantly increased the combat effectiveness of the border soldiers.
The army of the Pei Dynasty was unstoppable, crushing the enemy all the way, and the capital city received continuous good news.
Even though Qiu Chi is not in the capital, the pressure on her to stay in the capital is still there.
Originally, the Pei Dynasty valued culture over military affairs, but the female emperor Qiu Chi happened to be too good at martial arts, and now the military power of the Pei Dynasty has developed.
When Qiu Chi attacked other countries, he did not bring General Jian with him and still let him stay at the border.
It's not that she doesn't believe him, and she is not good to his wife and son. Although she didn't torture them physically, she tortured them psychologically. Although she didn't have much psychological burden, she didn't want to torture his relatives, and she also ordered him around, which was a bit unkind.
As for what General Jian was thinking, Qiu Chi didn't care.
It took Qiu Chi five years to conquer all the countries surrounding the Pei Dynasty, and this was even though she was intentionally restrained.
Five years later, when he returned triumphantly, the capital had changed a lot.
For example, Qiu Chi had previously issued an order that women could attend school and serve as officials in the court.
Although Qiu Chi has not been in the capital for the past five years, the words she said remain here.
Even if there are still officials in the court who strongly disagree, what can they do?
Tanhualang worked diligently to fulfill what Qiuchi had said, mainly because he felt that his daughter Wan'er was so good that she should also go to school to study.
If someone disagreed, he would bring up Qiu Chi. Even if those officials cursed Tanhualang in their hearts, they still had to give in on the surface.
It is enough to show how great Qiu Chi’s influence is.
Over time, those officials who disagreed got used to it.
When Qiu Chi returned triumphantly, the whole city was celebrating.
Qiu Chi felt a little uncomfortable with their enthusiastic welcome.
In the palace, upon Qiu Chi's return, the scholar came to her and cried, "You don't know how I've been going through these past five years. Look at my frail body, the dark circles under my eyes. They're all from exhaustion. I don't even have time to spend with my Wan'er..."
Tanhualang's meaning was very clear. He wanted Qiuchi to review memorials and handle government affairs himself.
Unfortunately, Qiu Chi doesn't want to do such tiring work.
She patted the third place winner on the shoulder and said, "You've done very well. You need to work harder in the future. I've been living in the open air for many years, and I'm not much better than you!"
No way, she is so cool outside.
But there is no need to say this.
Tanhualang was quite easy to fool. Although he knew that Qiuchi was powerful, it was indeed more difficult for him to conquer all the neighboring countries and unify them all at once, so he immediately believed what Qiuchi said.
Even though he was exhausted, he was too embarrassed to cry to Qiu Chi anymore.
After Qiu Chi came back, he rested for two days and then went to see Jian Ninghua.
Jian Ninghua's condition is very bad.
The third place winner was exhausted but full of energy, while Jian Ninghua did nothing but looked haggard and lifeless.
Seeing Jian Ninghua like this, Qiu Chi raised his eyebrows. He felt that there was no point in provoking her any further, so he wanted to turn around and leave.
But Jian Ninghua stopped Qiu Chi and said, "Kill me."
Qiu Chi stopped and looked back at him: "You won't commit suicide? You don't dare?"
Jian Ninghua stopped talking.
He really didn't dare, even though he had become like this now, feeling that living was torture every day and wanting to die, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
He tried to commit suicide, but never succeeded.
After five years, he thought that maybe he really was a waste, not only a waste, but also a cowardly waste.
Hearing Jian Ninghua's words, Qiu Chi sneered, "It's not easy. You finally recognize the fact that you are a waste."
After saying that, Qiu Chi left.
There was no point in watching Jian Ninghua any longer. As for whether he would commit suicide, he probably didn't have the courage.
As for Madam Jian, Qiu Chi didn't go to see her, but his spiritual consciousness still took a look.
Mrs. Jian is not in good spirits either, but she is better than Jian Ninghua. Compared to Jian Ninghua's dullness, Mrs. Jian is more irritable, depressed, and unwilling.
Qiu Chi didn't pay much attention to it because she was already preparing to give up her seat and leave.
Even though this era has changed a little because of her arrival, today's patriarchal society cannot be easily changed.
She became the empress entirely as a result of her suppression through force. If she had found a woman to inherit the throne, the current peace in the world would have soon ceased to exist after she left.
