Chapter 189 Finale
Xiao Jin and Ling Chan's coronation ceremony was held as scheduled.
This is actually not the first time that a female emperor has ascended the throne in Daqi, but it is the first time that two emperors have ruled the country.
After Xiao Ze ascended the throne, the reign title was Zhengguang, but within just two years, it was changed to Xingren by Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin was called Emperor Xing and Ling Chan was called Emperor Ren.
The coronation ceremonies of the two were extremely grand and unprecedented.
As soon as the coronation ceremony was over, Xiao Jin appointed An An as the crown prince and gave him the name Xiao Hetong, which means harmony and unity.
Not only do I hope that Xiao Jin and Ling Chan can live in harmony and unity in the future, I also hope that the countries around Daqi can live in harmony and unity.
Only after all these things were settled did Zuo Dongrou's funeral be held.
The affairs of the Zuo family had been made known to the world, so it was not convenient to hold a grand funeral for Zuo Dongrou. He was buried hastily and not even buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Xi Lingyue had only moved out of the palace for over a year, and now she had to move back.
But this time, she moved back happily.
After Zuo Dongrou's funeral, Concubine Hui and Prince Cheng's family asked for permission to return to their fiefdom.
The day before leaving, Prince Cheng and Xiao Jin drank all night in the Imperial Garden and talked about many things.
Afterwards, Ling Chan did not ask what they talked about.
After the two emperors came to power, Ling Chan was even busier than Xiao Jin.
In addition to dealing with those memorials, she seemed to be preparing something.
"Ajin, go back and accompany An An first, I'll be back later..." I don't know how many nights this has been.
The two of them were dealing with memorials together. Ling Chan had finished it long ago and was now writing something.
Xiao Jin had never asked or explored the matter before, but after several days, he became a little curious.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked.
When Xiao Jin didn't ask, Ling Chan didn't take the initiative to tell him, because what she was planning had not been finalized yet.
But now that Xiao Jin had asked, Ling Chan handed the item in her hand to him and said, "Take a look. Feel free to give me any comments."
"I was planning to tell you after I had planned everything."
Xiao Jin took it and looked at the contents of the booklet carefully.
It turned out that Ling Chan had been looking at the accounts of the Daqi treasury in addition to reviewing memorials.
Before, seeing how extravagant Zuo Dongrou and Xiao Ze lived, and how much money Zuo Lun plundered from all over the place, I thought Daqi was very wealthy.
Unexpectedly, Daqi's treasury was empty and the deficit was serious.
The booklet Ling Chan gave to Xiao Jin proposed a series of reform measures, all of which were about enriching the national treasury.
The most important thing is to reduce taxes on businesses, encourage the people of Daqi to do business, and promote trade exchanges among various places.
In addition, frugality was promoted in the palace and among officials, unnecessary palace expenses were cut, and the saved money was used to improve people's livelihood and welfare.
"Before this, I taught the sisters of Qingyi Tower many ways to make money." Ling Chan smiled faintly, "They are doing well in various places."
"I still have some methods I need, I can pass them on."
"Ajin, our world promotes gender equality, but men and women are actually very different."
"Those private schools established for men are ultimately unsuitable for women."
"I want to set up some women's teaching workshops specifically for women."
"Whether it's teaching them various skills to make a living or teaching them self-defense skills, it's all fine."
"Of course, we will also need to add more private schools for boys and hire famous teachers to cultivate pillars of society for Daqi."
Xiao Jin agreed with her idea.
In fact, he had wanted to make such a suggestion to the late Emperor Xiao Heng before, but unfortunately, the late Emperor passed away before he could do so.
With the joint planning of Xiao Jin and Ling Chan, they finally completed their plan within ten years.
Private schools for boys and teaching schools for girls were opened directly in every village. Anyone who was of the right age could receive education, and the tuition fees were very low.
In the past, because farmers had a lot of work to do at home, their children also went to the fields. Although they could do what they could, they could not really help much.
But since Ling Chan improved some farm tools, farmers can now work at home more easily and save time and effort, and they no longer have to restrict their children to do those trivial chores for the family.
The tuition fees of private schools were not high, and farmers could afford it, so they were naturally willing to send their children to school.
The people in all parts of Daqi were very enthusiastic about the various reforms proposed by the empress, and they actively engaged in business. The first batch of women came out of the music school.
For a time, the entire Daqi flourished.
With Hongdou in the Jianghu and Liu Huaiyu at the border, Xiao Jin and Ling Chan feel a lot more at ease.
Today, Xiao Jin and Ling Chan's first son, Xiao Hetong, is ten years old, their second son is seven years old, and their third daughter is three years old.
After giving birth to her third daughter, Xiao Jin did not allow Ling Chan to have any more children.
"Chan'er, I'm fine here, how are you?" The two of them were still calm when they were together.
Ling Chan was concentrating on writing something, just like she was ten years ago.
Xiao Jin leaned over, "Chan'er, do you have any good ideas?"
Over the past ten years, the Daqi treasury has gradually become full, the people's lives have improved a lot, and there have been fewer crimes in various places.
The people highly recognized Xiao Jin and Ling Chan.
"We have been negotiating peace with Da He for ten years, and the deadline expired two years ago." Ling Chan looked up and handed what she was writing to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin nodded.
"Huaiyu wrote to me, saying that Dahe seems to have made some unusual moves recently." Ling Chan tapped her hand on the table.
"I'm going to go to Dahe and talk to their emperor."
"Da He covets Da Qi, but only so that their people can live and work in peace and contentment like the people of Da Qi."
"In that case, wouldn't it be a better solution for our two countries to cooperate and develop together than to go to war?"
Ling Chan had already sent people to Dahe to investigate. "Dahe has some things that we in Daqi don't have."
"We have things in Daqi... Dahe is also in short supply. In that case, let's open up trade between our two countries..."
Xiao Jin thought her method was good, but... "The Dahe people are rude and barbaric. Chan'er, I'll go with you."
Ling Chan laughed sweetly, "I am here as the Empress of Daqi, a diplomatic envoy to Dahe. Do they dare to neglect me?"
"Daqi still has many state affairs to deal with, Ajin, you will stay in the capital to take charge."
"But... I still want to go with you." Xiao Jin embraced Ling Chan...
"Father, if you don't believe the Mother, how about I accompany her?" Xiao Hetong entered in the Crown Prince's casual attire, with the palace maids around him covering their mouths and chuckling.
Xiao Hetong knelt down calmly, "I have grown up and can help my father, the emperor, and my mother share their worries."
Xiao Jin and Ling Chan looked at Xiao Hetong...
Xiao Hetong raised his eyes and saw them staring at him, "Father Emperor, Mother Emperor...?"
A month later...
Xiao Jin and Ling Chan set off on the journey to Dahe.
In the palace, the palace maids stood by Xiao Hetong's bed waiting for him to wake up.
"Your Highness, the Emperor and Empress have already departed for Dahe. They have issued an order to abdicate the throne of Daqi to Your Highness."
"The Emperor and the Empress said that now that the Crown Prince has grown up...it's time for him to take on the responsibility."
Xiao Hetong was stunned!
"ah....!!"
