Although Zhou Gaozu's appearance the next day caused a certain sensation, not many people questioned it, because anyone who has reached a certain level of martial arts cultivation can have a very keen sense of blood and can sense the closeness of blood.

A person who looks exactly like Gaozu, possesses the martial arts cultivation, and also has the blood connection with them. Even if he is not Gaozu, even the clan members present will not believe him.

Therefore, the relative recognized him without any hindrance.

The identity of Gaozu is also certain.

And with the personal endorsement of Emperor Gaozu, he recognized the identity of Emperor Ding Yun's concubine. Ding Yun, who originally had a recognition rate of at most 50% in terms of the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty and the clan, suddenly had a recognition rate of more than 80%.

Even the martial god-level ancestors approved it.

What can they do?

It’s better not to worry about this or that.

However, Zhou Gaozu did not stay for long. After he stayed in the imperial capital for a few days, he personally visited the major martial arts holy places and top sects to let them know that he was still alive and that he was the Martial God-level backer of the Great Zhou Emperor. They should all stay calm.

Then he left Dazhou and went straight to Guixu.

But everyone doesn't know that.

I just thought that he didn't know where to go to retreat for fun.

After this incident, the situation in the world that had been slightly turbulent due to Emperor Qianyu's serious injury and the appearance of Ding Yun, the emperor's concubine, was completely calmed down in an instant. After all, they were not stupid, and no one thought that they could be the gods of war.

The opponents of Zhou Dynasty only speculated that the Great Zhou Emperor might not be dead and became the God of War. They did not dare to target the imperial family anymore. Now they are sure of it directly.

Naturally, they dare not act recklessly.

Emperor Qianyu and Ding Yun both saved a lot of trouble.

It also saves a lot of trouble.

After that, there was a long period of stable development and transition, which belonged to Ding Yun's development period and the transition period when Emperor Qianyu slowly transferred his rights to Ding Yun.

During the process, Ding Yun did a lot of preparation work.

Ding Yun has prepared all the people or things that may be used in the future in more than ten years.

And time passed quickly, more than ten years.

After Emperor Qianyu sensed that he had less than a year left to live, he decisively made arrangements for his funeral and sealed himself in ice with Wanzai Xuanbing. Ding Yun naturally followed his will.

Arrange a funeral arrangement for him that suits his own wishes.

And use days to represent years.

He officially ascended the throne after three days of keeping his filial piety.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Ding Yun followed his original plan and became the God of War on the spot. For a moment, everyone watching the ceremony was speechless. No one dared to have any rebellious mentality, let alone openly oppose it.

The realm of the God of War is enough to stabilize Ding Yun's position.

As Ding Yun officially became the empress, the first thing she did was to arrest Prince Ning and Xu Taiwei, and make public all the criminal evidence of Prince Ning's lineage from birth to the present that had been collected over the years.

.

Then there were the natural punishments according to the law, those who deserved to be killed, those who deserved to be exiled, and the descendants who truly abided by the law and had no knowledge of it were all released back.

In short, Ding Yun even wants to take revenge on Prince Ning.

Nor will it violate the law.

However, even if he did not violate the law, the evil that Prince Ning had committed over the past few hundred years was enough to make him die seventeen or eighteen times.

So in the end he was properly sentenced to death.

After dealing with Prince Ning's lineage, Ding Yun officially began his own earth-shaking and thorough reform.

For example, comprehensively promote high-yielding grain rice.

For example, provide comprehensive free new education.

For example, the king of Zhenxi can be canonized as the king of the Western Regions.

For ordinary people, the first two things are definitely major events and the things they are most concerned about. But for wealthy families and relatively powerful clan princes, the light emitted by the last thing is enough to obscure the first two things.

One thing, let them ignore the first two things and only focus on the last thing.

Everyone is frantically exploring what happened, what did the King of Zhenxi do, and why did he suddenly break the earth and become the king?

And how could the Western Region be owned by King Zhenxi?

But Ding Yun and King Zhenxi did not cover up.

Let them explore and impeach.

Taking this opportunity, Ding Yun also officially launched a new policy, which was the "Order to Open up Frontiers and Expand Colonization."

The first article is that the Great Zhou clan and the people of the Great Zhou are allowed to expand their territory. When the territory expanded reaches a certain level, they can submit a petition to request the king.

It became a vassal state and vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty.

The clan expanded its territory into vassal states.

Citizens who expand their territories abroad become vassal states.

This is the core of this order, and the rest are basically the details surrounding this core content, including but not limited to factors such as the bottom line of conditions allowed by Ding Yun, as well as the responsibilities and obligations they need to perform.

In summary, it is actually very simple. It is nothing more than restricting large-scale migration of the population and taking away resources. No matter how much territory is conquered, the Zhou Dynasty must be recognized as the suzerain state, pay tribute on time, and if there is betrayal, all countries will attack together.

It's basically the same as Ji Zhou's.

It's just that there are a little more restrictions in various aspects.

But even so, as soon as this order came out, all those with power, money, or influence basically had some ideas, and some large families, even if they did not plan to mobilize the whole family, planned to branch out, that is, from within the family

Split one or more lines of people and go to work abroad.

Like Zhendong Wang Zhenbei Wang or something like that.

Even more positive response.

For a time, the prices of all war-related things in the Great Zhou Dynasty skyrocketed, and some families even took their slaves and went out to attack cities and territories.

Some sects also followed suit.

Especially those sects with religious attributes.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, they could only accept disciples as ordinary sects, but if they could really gain a territory outside and recruit some people, they might really be able to try to build an earthly Taoist kingdom or an earthly Buddha.

lofty ideals such as the country.

After all this hard work, although prices have risen a lot and the population in the country has even decreased a lot, all the forces that might have hindered Ding Yun's governance have basically disappeared. Therefore, Ding Yun's next measures have been carried out.

Everything went quite smoothly, including but not limited to building a large number of women's schools, building women's workshops, and promoting women who had been trained in the previous ten years to official positions...

In less than ten years, the Zhou Dynasty had eighteen additional vassal states and seven vassal states outside its borders. The changes within the territory were even more terrifying. Not only was the nationwide military deployment plan officially successful, the status of women was greatly improved, and female officials were more prominent throughout the country.

The territory already occupies about 40%, including food output, industrialization level, and even population, etc.

Great progress has been made in all aspects.

And this is only the first decade.

In the second decade, the original achievements were consolidated, industrialization reached the level of the second industrial revolution, the population doubled, and the literacy rate of the population reached over 90%, and the martial arts training rate reached over 98%.

Resources from outside the region are continuously imported into the country.

The number of dependent states increased to forty-three, and the number of vassal states also increased to fourteen. The total overseas territory exceeded the territory of the Great Zhou Empire for the first time, and the total area covered two and a half large states.

In the third decade, Ding Yun began to expand overseas.

When she started to expand her territory, she was not like other people who just conquered tens of thousands of square kilometers and became a country. She just destroyed one big state after another, and it was destroyed in ten years.

Two big states.

The next ten years will be about consolidating the territory we have built.

The next ten years will be about continuing the offensive.

Although the territory of the world is too huge, Ding Yun's lifespan is also too long. Everything is developing steadily and there is no need to be too impatient at all.

In the ninety-fourth year of her accession to the throne.

That is, the beginning of July in the ninety-fourth year of Yuxia.

Finally, the achievement of unifying the nine states and unifying the world was finally achieved. Although there was still one and a half states that were not directly included in the rule and were only tributary states and vassal states, after all, they all recognized Ding Yun as the suzerain state.

In addition, the scope of influence was now enough for her to imprint her mark, so Ding Yun did not take action against the remaining vassal states and vassal states in the end, but only ordered them to come to the imperial capital to participate in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony for the unification of Kyushu.

Anyone who doesn't come will be expelled from the country.

Faced with Ding Yun's tough demands and unable to resist, those vassal states and vassal states could only hold their noses and agree. Either the king came in person, or sent the crown prince or crown prince to attend the heaven-sacrifice ceremony.

But they really worried too much. Ding Yun didn't want to do anything to them at all. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens was carried out according to the procedures and did not embarrass them. At the moment of offering sacrifices to the heavens, Ding Yun finished carving his mark very smoothly.

But now after all, Kyushu has just been unified, there are still many problems that need to be solved, and Ding Yun has no heir yet, so Ding Yun still did not leave immediately, but stayed and took in the seventy-two male concubines of the Three Palaces and Sixth House, and gave birth to

He had several children, trained them into talents, and selected a suitable successor before abdicating the throne.

On the surface, I just went sightseeing.

In fact, it means leaving that world.
