Chapter 349: The Attacking Empress (34)
"Today, the Xihu and the Southern Barbarians have also surrendered and voluntarily belong to our great masters. In addition, the Beiyi who had already surrendered, Your Majesty, the great master's territory is one-third more than when you were in power."
Qi Sha told Xu Dingbang in detail the current situation, "The money in the treasury is too full to hold. The Ministry of Works is building a new treasury. The people are happy and the population is growing much higher than when you were in power."
"Your Majesty can rest assured and recuperate, Qing'an has managed the country well."
"Being the emperor, Qing'an is better than you."
Xu Dingbang closed his eyes and did not look at her. This was his last stubbornness.
Qi Sha: "By the way, there is another thing to tell Your Majesty. Ning'er has been in court for more than a year, and the ministers all think that she is smart and intelligent, with a world-renowned mind, and can be the crown prince."
Xu Dingbang suddenly opened his eyes, Ning'er? What does Duan Qing'an mean? Do you want Ning'er to be the crown princess?!
How can this be done?
His wife seized the throne, which was an unheard of shame and humiliation in ancient and modern times. The only hope lies with his eldest son Xu Hongmin.
Hongmin is well-educated and well-versed in the great power. He is not the same as Duan Qing'an and respects him very much.
One day when Hongmin ascended the throne and became emperor, he would surely see the sky, abolish the title of Duan Qing'an and revive the Xu family's country.
But if Ning'er's unfilial daughter became the emperor, she would only respect Duan Qing'an and would not care about him.
What's more, Ning'er is a woman! It's not enough for a great master to produce a queen, so would he have to produce a second one?
It turns out that Xu Dingbang worked hard to conquer the country, and was working in vain for the mother and daughter?
Oh my God, why don’t you bring down the thunder and kill this poisonous woman who is acting against the rules and causing chaos!
If the heaven could hear his voice, he would tell him that it was not that he would not be beaten, but that he would not be beaten to death.
Qi Sha smiled faintly and said, "It's what you think. Tomorrow I will issue an order to abolish the position of Prince Hongmin and rename Ning'er."
"As for Hongmin, he was appointed King Changle. Ning'er was kind and would not make things difficult for him."
Xu Dingbang shouted in vain: "Ahhhh!"
Qi Sha: "Why are you so angry? Ning'er is also your biological flesh and blood. You should be glad that I chose Ning'er, not the Xu family or the Duan family."
The ministers had no objection to the deposed Xu Hongmin.
Just kidding, everyone has already followed the queen and stood opposite the prince and the Lie Emperor. If the prince is allowed to take office, it is equivalent to booking their death date.
Emperor Lie is the title of Xu Dingbang. Originally, the previous emperor was called the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor was generally the elder of the emperor of the current dynasty and was not suitable for use at this time.
Therefore, Qisha asked the ministers to discuss Xu Dingbang's posthumous title in advance, and defined the word "Lie", and then called it "Lie Emperor".
Xu Dingbang also created a record for this. He was still alive and had a posthumous title and was called by posthumous title.
Some ministers felt that it was inappropriate, but Her Majesty the Queen was busy with all kinds of things and her civil and military skills were comparable to those of the former Pilgrimage. Such trivial matters would be as good as her wishes.
However, the ministers at first disapproved of Xu Hongning as the crown princess.
Even her number one dog licking, no, the number one loyal minister Gongsun Yuan, said that women like her are rare in the world and the eldest princess may not be as good as that.
Everyone’s suggestion is to select the best from Xu Dingbang’s concubine son to inherit the throne. If the queen disgusted the concubine son, she can also choose the Xu clan relative.
Some people flattered the queen and said that if the Xu family did not work, they could choose the prince from the Duan clan of the queen's mother's family.
As soon as this was heard, the Duan family was so happy that they gave generous gifts to the ministers who held this view that night, asking them to cheer up.
However, Gao Xing was also in vain. Qisha ordered Madam Li to give Duan a handwritten book with four words "Dream in the daytime", and the Duan family's excitement was suppressed.
Xu Hongning was also very committed to learning the way of governing the country with his mother. He also took the initiative to travel around the world and increase his knowledge.
This made Qisha very happy.
No matter how much she taught, it would be better to see it with her own eyes and it is rare that Xu Hongning can recognize this.
If you want to take charge of the country, you must know what the country looks like.
He sent a team of guards to protect Xu Hongning in private visits.
During this period, Xu Hongning would remember what he had learned every day and send a letter to his mother who was far away in Beijing. At the beginning, her view was quite naive, and she became much more mature after half a year.
After returning a year later, Qi Sha asked her what she had gained. She said: "The people's opinions are surging, and the people's hearts are like tides. The court is like a small boat above the tide, rising because of the water and falling because of the water."
Qi Sha looked at her differently. No one in this world has clearly put forward the view that "water can carry a boat, but can also overturn the boat". It is really good that Xu Hongning can have this enlightenment.
Xu Hongning also said: "I have countless women in the world, but due to ethics, I can only take care of my husband and children at home. Mother, we should all thank you. You are the one who is in charge of your position and have opened a female department to make your daughter proud!"
It was at this time that Qi Sha was relieved to let her succeed as the emperor.
Although it has been decided before, if Xu Hongning cannot bear this responsibility and barely takes over the throne, it will only become a tragedy. It would be better to let her marry in a grand manner and then become the prince from the royal family.
Now it seems that she is too worried. Give Ning'er a chance and she will also give her a surprise.
Qi Sha said leisurely: "Your Majesty, don't worry about Ning'er and I. The great master is handed over to us, so you can rest assured."
Xu Dingbang: Let me make it clear, who is worried about you? What I am worried about is myself!
After all the things to be said, Qi Sha stood up and smiled and said, "Your Majesty once said that Concubine Yu Lan is gentle and gentle, I wish you and her to be a fairy couple."
After Qi Sha left for a while, Concubine Yu returned with resentment, and Xu Dingbang's heart was cold.
——
"The Book of Great Des" records that since Emperor Wu Duan Qing'an, empresses such as Emperor Wen Xu Hongning, Emperor Cheng Xu Yishu, and Emperor Ming Xu Muqing appeared, and the status of women was greatly improved.
Thousands of years later, modern people commented that equality between men and women began with great virtues.
