Chapter 408: The Beginning of a Peaceful and Prosperous Era (End of the Main Text)
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Okay."
"Now that my elder brother and his wife are well again, you can go to the town and listen to what the people there are saying."
"And the notices posted at the government office all state that the decrees issued by the emperor are policies that benefit the country and the people."
Today, Yun Luoxiao has become the emperor and is respectfully called Emperor Xiao.
It can be said that when Yun Luoxiao ascended the throne, he reduced taxes, granted amnesty, and took a series of measures.
Let all people be happy and celebrate together.
Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin are preparing dumplings at home.
Wei Hanchen and Miao Lengshuang went to the town for a walk and a look.
Since coming here to live in seclusion and recuperate, they have not left the village.
This was their first time to come out of the village to see it.
Miao Lengshuang found everything new and interesting.
"This place is completely different from southern Xinjiang. It looks prosperous and bustling."
Although the people's clothes were patched, their faces were filled with bright smiles.
There was a look of hope for life in their eyes.
"Oh, it's Sister Lin. You're here to buy meat too."
"Yes, in the past, we couldn't afford to buy meat, but our current emperor is so kind. He's reduced our taxes a lot, and even the land we reclaim belongs to us. If you think about it, we always have plenty left over every year, and we feel at ease, so we're willing to buy some delicious food."
"Of course not. Since the virtuous crown prince ascended the throne, he has taken the best care of ordinary people like us."
"And if it weren't for our current emperor, we wouldn't have known that the Wei family had suffered such an unjust accusation."
"It's infuriating! The Wei army is on the front lines defending our country, and a thief like Gongsun Wu pretends to bring reinforcements, only to slaughter the exhausted Wei army who just finished fighting."
“That’s abominable.”
"It's a good thing that people like Gongsun Wu are dead."
"He is a Cang countryman and hates Cang people the most."
Everyone now knows the truth, and when they mention the Wei family, they all stand up for them.
Although Gongsun Wu died, everyone placed their hatred on the people of Cang.
I wish I could drown all the people of Cang with just a spit from them.
The emperor also had the officials involved in the incident confiscated their property and executed them.
This is also the way to intimidate all officials.
Of course, they also heard another piece of news, that is, the emperor had conferred a title on a princess, named Princess Mingzhu.
It means that she is the apple of the emperor's eye.
After hearing this title, Wei Hanchen and Miao Lengshuang were both surprised.
"That... isn't that Mengmeng?"
Wei Hanchen and Miao Lengshuang walked around the town for a while, listened to a lot of news, and then went back to Shanliang with their sister.
Jiang Zhiluo wasn't surprised. She said, "Yun Luoxiao dotes on Mengmeng very much and has said before that he wants to make her a princess."
"Besides, Mengmeng used to be very attached to him and treated him as her mother, but now he treats her as his father."
"At least, brother and sister-in-law don't have to worry."
"If Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law want to take Mengmeng to their side, I will go to the capital and talk to the emperor. It should be possible to discuss it."
Yun Luoxiao treated Mengmeng very well at that time, initially out of keeping his promise and wanting to take good care of the girl from the Wei family.
Wei Hanchen and Miao Lengshuang discussed it and decided to return to southern Xinjiang first.
"We still need to resolve the issues in southern Xinjiang before we can feel more at ease."
Otherwise, if Miao Qiuyan knew about Mengmeng's existence, who knows what she would do.
Maybe they will use Mengmeng to threaten them.
After listening to the arrangements made by her elder brother and sister-in-law, Jiang Zhiluo also supported them.
Just like that, after resting at home for a few days, Miao Lengshuang and Wei Hanchen packed up their things and prepared to set off.
Now that their bodies and strength have recovered, it will be easy for them to resolve the issues in southern Xinjiang if they return there.
A month later, Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin went to the capital and met Yun Luoxiao.
Jiang Zhiluo also used the fragrant purple grass to cure Qiao Mengmeng's body.
Yun Luoxiao also regained his identity as the prince of Duke Cui Hejin.
But Cui Hejin still decided to take the imperial examination to enter the capital.
Only in this way can the Cui family's reputation be restored.
Of course, in the palace, Jiang Zhiluo found some ancient books and got some clues about the Moon Clan.
She and Cui Hejin found the Moon Clan.
But when they found the Moon Clan, Jiang Zhiluo's mother had already died.
They thought it was the high priest who did it.
The high priest just looked at her and said, "Child, you are born to be the leader of the Moon Clan."
Jiang Zhiluo got straight to the point and asked, "Did you kill my mother?"
The high priest shook his head and said, "No, I simply calculated that your mother would die saving her mortal family, so we have no choice but to do everything we can to bring her back."
"It was you who also used the forbidden power of the Moon Clan."
"You and your mother saved the Wei family. If you hadn't used your abilities to defy fate, everyone in the Wei family would have died."
As he spoke, the high priest tapped Jiang Zhiluo's brow with something unknown to him.
The seal in Jiang Zhiluo's body was completely lifted.
A lot of memories came flooding back all at once.
When she was young, she dreamed that the Wei family died on the battlefield and was unjustly accused.
So she tried to change that.
But she was young at that time and her strength was too weak.
But in the end, her mother still used the power of heaven and earth to protect the Wei family.
"Your mother fell into a deep sleep to protect you and the family."
"Even if the Moon Clan used all their strength, they couldn't save her. She still died like that."
After Jiang Zhiluo stayed in the Moon Clan for a while and understood everything, she understood why the high priest wanted to prevent them from contacting people outside.
Because Moon Clan women are born with some special abilities.
Because a long time ago, the Moon Clan was once massacred, and the high priest only wanted to protect the people of the Moon Clan.
The high priest also took Jiang Zhiluo to meet the Wei family members living in the Moon Clan.
Including my eldest aunt and my second aunt.
But Madam Wei is already dead.
But the second, third and fifth young masters of the Wei family all survived.
When Jiang Zhiluo saw them, she was so excited that she cried.
When they saw Jiang Zhiluo, their eyes also turned red. They surrounded her and asked her many questions, asking about her well-being.
From then on, the Wei family returned to the capital.
Everyone in the capital was shocked when they saw that the Wei family was still alive, especially the five sons of the Wei family were all alive.
However, the emperor personally issued an edict, appointing Wei Jia as the general of the state and giving him an iron scroll and a red letter.
No one dared to disrespect the Wei family.
But from beginning to end, no one knew anything about the sixth daughter of the Wei family.
Jiang Zhiluo and Cui Hejin returned to Donghe Village.
If Cui Hejin wanted to become a civil official, he had to pass the imperial examinations and step by step reach a high position.
That would be more convincing.
In order to select talents, the emperor ordered the opening of special examinations.
It was only then that Jiang Zhiluo learned that Cui Hejin had taken the county and prefectural examinations when he was young, and had ranked first in both.
As long as you pass the academy examination, you can get the title of scholar.
A year later, Cui Hejin passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. Old Madam Cui, Cui Qingci and Jiang Zhiluo followed him to Beijing.
When everyone was talking about how Cui Hejin just married a country girl.
At this time, the Wei family revealed that Jiang Zhiluo was the sixth daughter of the Wei family, shocking everyone on the spot.
From then on, no one dared to talk about anything behind his back.
But everyone also admired Cui Hejin's good luck. When he was exiled to the countryside, he was able to marry the sixth daughter of the Wei family, who was famous for her intelligence.
That's the Wei family's favorite.
All the men in the Wei family are crazy about doting on their sisters, not to mention that both the Wei and Cui families are close confidants of the emperor.
Wei Jia Silang even led the new Wei family army he trained to the north, joined the soldiers at the border to the north, defeated the Cang Kingdom and forced it to cede the city, and signed a hundred-year peace agreement.
From then on, Yun Kingdom entered a period of peace and prosperity.
