Chapter 233 Xiao Yuchen ascends the throne
When Bai Ran was listening, she heard about Xiao Yuchen's future policies, and she would occasionally offer her own opinions.
Her opinions were very useful to Xiao Yuchen, and Jiang Nanyuan would occasionally express her own views. After Xiao Yuchen's efforts, most of the officials in the court were investigated by him.
He dismissed many ministers from their posts, and the imperial examination system will be improved afterwards. Corruption and bribery will also be severely cracked down.
They talked in the study until late at night, and finally stopped discussing. At night, Jiang Nanyuan took them to sleep in the illusion. Xiao Yuchen was not yet used to the palace outside, after all, those things were used by the previous man.
He was a bit of a germaphobe and didn't want to use those things. He even wanted to change his bed. He thought so and did so. The next day he asked someone to make a bed for him.
In the next three months, Xiao Yuchen restored the official positions of Lin Zhaoye and the Shangshu family, and dealt with all the remnants of Xiao Yujing.
He also changed the taxes so that farmers would pay less. The most important thing was the imperial examination. The court was short of talented people, so he shortened the time of the imperial examination and allowed capable people to recommend themselves to take the exam.
There are also corrupt officials and officials who are inactive. If one of them is found, his entire family will be punished.
The most important point is that he advocated that all counties, including towns, should have the government establish private schools free of charge. If anyone has talent, regardless of status, gender, can go to private schools for free.
Another important thing was that he asked people to implement the method of increasing rice production that Bai Ran mentioned.
If the technology is successfully developed, farmers' grain production will increase and many people will be able to have enough food to eat.
After several imperial decrees were issued, some people were happy and some were sad.
The ones who were happy were naturally the farmers and poor students, and the ones who were unhappy were naturally those who were corrupt and took bribes. They began to find ways to hide themselves and not expose what they had done in the past.
On this day, bells and drums rang throughout the capital, marking the day when Xiao Yuchen ascended the throne.
He was dressed in a dark black dragon robe embroidered with twelve patterns in gold thread, with a jade belt around his waist. He slowly walked up the white jade steps towards the supreme dragon throne.
All the officials knelt down, and the sound echoed throughout the hall.
"Long live the emperor."
Xiao Yuchen extended his hand, looked at the officials below, and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."
The officials below stood up at the same time. At a glance, almost half of the officials below were young officials. Seeing this, Xiao Yuchen felt very pleased. There were still quite a lot of young talents.
They began to discuss political affairs. Xiao Yuchen had just ascended the throne, and there were still many things to be arranged and implemented.
After a busy morning, Xiao Yuchen finally adjourned the court and returned to the imperial study. He rubbed his brows tiredly.
Being an emperor is not a good thing. I don’t know why they are so interested in this position. It is not as comfortable as when they were princes.
Moreover, Xiao Yuchen felt very uncomfortable not being able to sleep with Yuan'er in his arms.
Just a month ago, Jiang Nanyuan went out with her child. Xiao Yuchen wanted to give Jiang Nanyuan a grand wedding, and Jiang Nanyuan was marrying from the general's mansion.
So, Jiang Nanyuan moved back in. He and Jiang Nanyuan hadn't seen each other for a month, which made him very upset. But then he thought that the day for him to marry Jiang Nanyuan would be in a few days.
He finally felt better.
Thinking of this, he got up and went to the Shangyi Bureau to see if the queen's phoenix robe was ready.
The palace maids and embroiderers in the Shangyi Bureau were not surprised to see him coming, after all, the emperor would come every day to inquire about the progress.
At first they were very nervous, but as Xiao Yuchen came more and more often, they gradually got used to it.
Today, when Xiao Yuchen came over, the manager of the clothing department came out pushing an embroidered phoenix robe and bowed in front of Xiao Yuchen.
"The emperor's phoenix robe has been embroidered. Please take a look and see if there is anything you are not satisfied with."
After Xiao Yuchen heard what she said, his eyes fell on the phoenix robe. The phoenix robe was exquisitely crafted, and the wings embroidered on the clothes looked lifelike.
Xiao Yuchen reached out and gently stroked it, imagining how beautiful Jiang Nanyuan would look in this dress.
Very satisfied with the dress, he asked the director of the clothing department to fold it. He was about to take the phoenix robe out of the palace to find Jiang Nanyuan and the two children.
He missed them terribly after not seeing them for such a long time. After they folded their clothes carefully, he returned to the palace with the tray.
After handling some official business, he waited until almost midnight before secretly leaving the palace with the phoenix robe.
They came all the way to the general's mansion and soon found the courtyard where Jiang Nanyuan lived.
Jiang Nanyuan had already fallen asleep with her two children, but she was very perceptive and opened her eyes when Xiao Yuchen approached her roof.
Smelling a familiar scent, she relaxed her guard, walked over and opened the door, and saw Xiao Yuchen holding a tray with a phoenix robe embroidered with gold thread on it.
Xiao Yuchen rushed over the moment Jiang Nanyuan opened the door, and then temporarily placed the clothes on the table.
Then he turned around and hugged Jiang Nanyuan tightly in his arms, "Yuan, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you so much.
Are you and the child okay? Do you miss me? I'm so bored staying in the palace. I really want to marry you back home as soon as possible."
In fact, the day he was to marry Jiang Nanyuan was two days later, but he really couldn't bear it and didn't want to wait any longer for two days, so he sneaked out of the palace to meet him.
Jiang Nanyuan understood Xiao Yuchen's personality and knew that if he hadn't been so busy these days, he would probably have long since stopped wanting to stay in the palace.
"Achen, my child and I miss you. A few days ago, the child was talking about daddy every day."
Hearing Jiang Nanyuan say this, Xiao Yuchen let go of Jiang Nanyuan, walked towards the bed, and kissed both children on the face.
"Ayuan, try this phoenix robe to see if it fits you. If there's anything that doesn't fit, be sure to tell me and I'll have them alter it."
After the phoenix robe was finished, he couldn't wait to bring it over for Jiang Nanyuan to try on.
He also had some selfish motives, wanting to be the first to see what Jiang Nanyuan looked like wearing the phoenix robe.
Jiang Nanyuan stood in front of him and used her spiritual power, and the next moment the phoenix robe was on her body.
This phoenix robe fits Jiang Nanyuan perfectly. When she wears it, the wings embroidered on it seem to be moving, vivid and lifelike.
Jiang Nanyuan looked extremely noble, as dazzling as a proud phoenix, which completely stunned Xiao Yuchen. It was the first time he saw such a dazzling Jiang Nanyuan.
