All parties in the imperial city were plotting, and the chaotic night ended at dawn.
The second prince, who killed twelve brothers and seized the throne from the old emperor, had no time to rejoice before the rebel army led by Wu Yan broke through the palace gate and became a prisoner.
Wu Yan, wearing blood-stained armor, was dreaming of ascending the throne and holding great power when he suddenly received news that the Xihe army was approaching the city - as the saying goes, 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'.
The old emperor was incompetent, causing the people under his rule to complain and suffer terribly.
Taking over such a chaotic and impoverished dynasty was not a good idea for Xihe.
However, as a chivalrous woman in the martial arts world, she had already seen all of this and was mentally prepared. Therefore, she waited for the opportunity to strike, and after the old emperor's son and Wu Yan had decided the winner, she easily captured Wu Yan and the second prince, and then quickly ascended the throne and cleaned up the court.
This time, her tactics were extremely strong, and none of the subordinates belonging to the old emperor and Wu Yan were used.
All officials who bullied the people and amassed wealth were punished according to the law. Even some of the most reputable officials were not kept by her.
This land has long been rotten and needs to be replaced by the new, and all unstable elements must be suppressed.
She never looked down on intellectuals. These people were the best at misleading people. If she didn't investigate, the Ming Dynasty, which had been defeated with great difficulty, might be revived in their hands. After all, the second prince was still alive.
She was willing to spare his life in exchange for a good reputation, but she would not allow any danger to exist.
It took a full two months to clean up the Ming Dynasty's court. When the spring grass was lush and everything was flourishing, all the subordinates finally could not bear it anymore and begged Xihe to ascend the throne.
Xihe readily agreed, but before that, she posted a missing person notice: Master Jing'an.
From the time she took over Piaomiao Sect to the time she was about to ascend the throne, a full seven or eight years had passed, but Master Jing'an had disappeared without a trace and there was no news at all.
When the imperial edict was passed down, the whole people were in an uproar and actively helped in the search.
However, there is still no news, it seems as if this person has disappeared.
"Your Majesty, the world cannot be without a ruler for a single day. Please ascend the throne soon. I'm sure the nun will come here upon hearing the news."
"Yes, Senior Sister, Master won't blame you, so don't worry."
Xihe had no choice but to agree to everyone's request.
On the day of his enthronement, the sky was clear and the weather was particularly good.
Everyone watched as their king worshipped heaven and earth, ascended to the high throne, became the master of the world, and was respected by all the people.
After the enthronement ceremony, the next step was to enthrone the empress. Well, Fang Qinglin was not shy about this at all. Instead, he enthusiastically discussed with the embroiderer how to sew the emperor's and empress's clothes. After all, he was the first emperor's and empress's wife from ancient times to the present.
After the celebration, Fang Qinglin was sent to the palace - Kunning Palace where the queen lived.
Fang Qinglin: "..."
He flicked his sleeves and went directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the emperor lived.
The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other, and did not dare to stop him for a moment.
Xihe finally came out from the pile of memorials, washed up and returned to the bedroom, where she saw Fang Qinglin sitting on the bed with his eyes closed in meditation.
She walked over with a smile, put her arms around the man's neck, and said with a sweet smile: "Why are you still working so hard on your wedding night?" Her eyes swept over his handsome eyebrows and nose, making him look more and more handsome.
Layers of curtains covered the bed, the room was filled with a faint fragrance, the beauty's shoulders were half exposed, and her eyes were sparkling and alluring.
Fang Qinglin slowly opened his eyes, unmoved by the erotic scene. "Yesterday, I heard from Hero Jiang that the eldest son of Medicine King Valley is a man of extraordinary character and appearance. He has long admired you and wants to enter the palace. What do you think?"
Xihe blinked, looked someone up and down, and chuckled: "Why, you want to marry me a concubine?"
Fang Qinglin: "..."
He slapped her on the buttocks and said angrily: "You are dreaming!"
Xi He cried softly and fell on him, soft as if she had no bones: "Woo woo, you're broken, Fang Qinglin, you're done, I'm going to punish you!"
Fang Qinglin said calmly, "What punishment do you want?"
Xihe rolled her eyes, leaned close to his ear, and exhaled sweetly: "I'll punish you by not letting you sleep tonight~~"
She smiled coquettishly, and Fang Qinglin instantly understood what she meant. He couldn't help but glance at the dazzling white, his mouth dry, and he could no longer bear it: "You said that."
He suddenly picked the man up, and Xihe screamed and hugged him tightly in fear.
...The next day, Xihe got up lazily and asked the palace maid, only then did she know what happened last night.
She burst into laughter, turned her head to glance at the man outside the house who was as graceful as a swan, and ordered the palace maid to move Fang Qinglin's things here.
The palace servants were very quick. By the time Fang Qinglin entered the room, all his things had been moved in. Qingjun's face unconsciously relaxed and he smiled. He happily helped her pick up the buns and vegetables.
Xihe smiled secretly, he was quite easy to coax.
After dinner, the two went to court together.
As soon as he ascended the throne, Xihe changed the time for attending court. Otherwise, who could bear to get up before four o'clock every day?
Fortunately, all of her ministers came from self-taught backgrounds, and few of them were serious officials. They adapted well to her arrangements and even praised the emperor for his compassion for his ministers.
The coronation ceremony has passed, and all those who followed her to build the empire have received the rewards they deserve.
Xihe is not stingy at all. He rewards those who have made contributions and is very happy to put talented people in appropriate positions.
For example, Hu Shuidi and Shen Yunzhuang. Hu Shuidi was skilled in martial arts and always rushed to the front in battle. Later, she was appointed as the general, a position higher than He Jia, Zhang Ding and others. However, her achievements were obvious, and everyone was quite impressed by her.
Chen Yunzhuang was good at making money, so Xihe got her to the Ministry of Revenue.
There are also many senior and junior brothers from the Taichu Sect. The eldest brother had previously helped the master to manage the sect. Later, after following Xihe, other sects came to join him, and he took the initiative to volunteer. The two sides got along very harmoniously, and he made an indelible contribution.
Xihe also gave rewards and arrangements to various friends in the martial arts world and people from the six major sects.
But to be honest, among these gangsters, not many can read and write, and most of them are good at wielding swords and guns, so it is really impossible for them to become officials.
Moreover, this group of people are used to freedom and will fight at the slightest friction, making them difficult to discipline.
After thinking for a long time, Xihe finally wrote three words on the paper: Six Doors.
Firstly, the people in the martial arts world are led by the six major sects, and they helped her a lot in overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and establishing a new dynasty.
Secondly, she was born into the martial arts world after all, and she could not destroy these sects as soon as she became a monarch. She hoped that the martial arts world would still exist in this world in the future.
As the saying goes, "Without rules, there will be no order." The existence of the Six Gates is to, on the one hand, strengthen the bond between the two sides, and on the other hand, to control the world of martial arts.
After that, all the major sects in the martial arts world can still select disciples and practice martial arts.
Every three years, each major sect can select disciples to enter the Six Gates after passing the assessment.
The Six Gates mainly obey the Ministry of Justice and are responsible for investigating cases and traveling around.
As for those disciples who want to go to other departments... just go and take the scientific examination like everyone else!
