Chapter 266 Time is not forgiving

The 22nd year of Zhaoyuan

Queen Chu fell into a coma at her birthday banquet that year.

In the days after she fell into a coma, she seemed to dream about her past life. She dreamed that she was married to Zhao Ningxiu. Although the two were not very affectionate, they respected each other.

But the good times did not last long. The female soldiers that he had arranged into the palace actually fell in love with the Fourth Prince, and then told the Fourth Prince about his training of the female soldiers.

In the end, the Fourth Prince forced himself to hand over the women's army, and he died suddenly that night.

The entire Xuanping Marquis' Mansion and Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion were executed.

So, was my previous life so miserable?

Fortunately, she had changed her fate, chose her own husband, became the queen of the country, and even followed her husband to appreciate the mountains and rivers of Daqian. She had a son, a daughter, and a granddaughter, and she was already very satisfied.

After saying goodbye to her family, she passed away with a smile on her face.

The funeral bells were soon rung, one after another, echoing throughout the capital.

Although Queen Chu, the first queen to establish a women's college, has passed away, women all over the world will always remember what she did and her achievements.

In the second year after Queen Chu passed away, Lu Zhanyan announced his abdication at the age of 45.

No matter how the civil and military officials tried to persuade or stop him, Emperor Zhaoyuan had made up his mind.

The Crown Prince had served as regent for several years before, so he knew very well what the Emperor should do. He also knew that his father had always wanted to be the youngest retired Emperor, so he followed his father's wishes.

Emperor Zhaoyuan worked hard to govern the country and had great talent and strategy. During his 23 years in office, the Daqian Dynasty enjoyed peace and prosperity.

In the 23rd year of Zhaoyuan, Emperor Zhaoyuan passed the throne to the Crown Prince.

The era of Emperor Zhaowen began here.

The twenty-third year of Zhaoyuan.

The prince ascended the throne smoothly!

The reign title was changed to Emperor Zhaowen.

Establish special examination system and promote imperial examination.

A large number of students went to Beijing to take the imperial examinations.

Prime Minister Su, who had already become elderly, passed away. Su Xianye and her son-in-law took care of his funeral, and all the things in the Prime Minister's Mansion were given to Su Xianye.

No matter how much Su Xianye hated her father, now that he was dead, all the grudges disappeared.

Lu Zhanxing and Ling'er accompanied her for a few days before Su Xianye recovered.

Because of the opening of the special examination, a large number of students came to Beijing to take the exam.

However, one of the female students fainted when entering the examination room. The examination room was built at Lu Zhanxing's suggestion, and a large number of doctors were waiting in the examination room to prevent students from unable to endure.

So, after the doctor took the scholar's pulse, he said directly that she was pregnant.

According to the Daqian law, pregnant women are not allowed to take the imperial examination and can only do so after giving birth. This is also for the sake of women's health.

The female candidate was stunned at first, then burst into tears and went directly to the Heavenly Punishment Department to sue her private school teacher.

Mu Qingli sent someone to investigate and found out that the private school teacher was actually his mortal enemy, Tan Ling.

It turned out that Tan Ling and Su Xianxin were hiding from pursuers, killed a family of three, took their names, and eventually changed their names and lived in a small town. Tan Ling became a teacher.

Tan Ling did not give up. While teaching, he did not forget to flirt with some female students who came to study there. He promised that he would help them pass the imperial examinations and become officials. The female students were deceived by his sweet words.

A few female students did become officials, but for the sake of their reputation, they had to pay him money every month to keep him quiet.

The family of three lived a pretty good life, after all, they had someone to support them.

His son was also a bad person. Knowing that his father had something on these female students, he also started to play with the girls unscrupulously.

But who would have thought that a female student would reveal that she was pregnant and unable to take the imperial examination, which exposed him.

Mu Qingli personally led people to escort the student back to his hometown, and personally captured Tan Ling and Su Xianxin's family of three, and executed them directly.

The family of three who were murdered finally got the truth.

But Su Xianxin was still unwilling to give up. Before she died, many fleeting scenes flashed through her mind. These were the scenes when she was the mother of the country. Was that her past life?

Why am I living such a miserable life now?

She was unwilling, but she was still poisoned to death by a cup of poisoned wine...

When Lu Zhanxing learned about this, he was relieved. Tan Ling was actually a nuisance.

I didn't expect that such a person could live so long.

He also developed a trumpet to hurt women.

The heroine Su Xianxin was indeed a bit lucky, but now, everything is over.

This world has been taken over by their Lu family, and the villains have successfully counterattacked.

No one could threaten them anymore.

Lu Zhanyan has completely handed over the dynasty to Emperor Zhaowen, and Lu Zhanyan has also become the youngest emperor in history.

After the second princess and the third prince grew up and got married, they also assisted the new emperor wholeheartedly.

Lu Zhanxing also handed over the Heavenly Punishment Division to Ling'er, and Mu Qingli handed over the deputy position to the calm and intelligent Second Princess.

The second princess, Princess Zhaoning, has married Xiao Chi, the son of the Earl of Jing'an and the Minister of Personnel.

Xiao Chi inherited Xiao Lanjue's wisdom and was the top scholar in the Zhaoyuan period. After marrying the second princess, they loved each other very much and made contributions to Daqian.

The third prince, Prince Jing, was fond of developing all kinds of strange things, and he also joined the Ministry of Works. Together with his uncle Yi, he studied all kinds of gadgets that could assist the people of the world, generate income for the court, and the national treasury became increasingly full.

After Lu Zhanxing, Mu Qingli and others abdicated at a young age, they spent most of their time in the Ministry of Industry researching and developing things.

The Ministry of Industry set up a research and development institute to develop such things that would be useful to the people of Daqian.

The third prince is the director of the R&D institute. After Lu Zhanxing and Mu Qingli joined, the R&D staff with ideas became even more excited.

Mu Qingli did not reveal Lu Zhanxing's identity, and even when they met, it was just like usual.

However, Mu Qingli still felt a little disappointed, but then he thought that it would be good enough to be able to stay by her side, and he couldn't ask for too much. Besides, everyone was old, so they didn't have any other pursuits.

After Lu Zhanyan abdicated, seeing that his younger brothers and others had gone to the R&D institute, he couldn't help but go there to join in the fun.

Unconsciously, the Ministry of Industry, which had never been taken seriously, suddenly became a hot topic, especially the Research and Development Institute, which was also loved by the people after the Heavenly Punishment Department.

In particular, the things they developed have greatly reduced the burden on the people.

For example, threshers are very popular among the people.

Because of the People's Daily, most people were literate, so they naturally understood that these things were developed by the Research and Development Institute of the Ministry of Industry, and that the director, Prince Jing, was also very popular among the people.

Because the retired emperor, Prince Yi, and Marquis Yong'an often visited the Ministry of Industry Research Institute, the Ministry of Industry became the first choice for officials to work in.

Time flies, and it is the seventh year of Zhaowen, and the weather is clear.

Lu Zhanxing is already fifty years old and is basking in the sun on a rocking chair at the entrance of the Liuli Courtyard.

Time is not forgiving. Her face has aged a lot, and most of her hair has turned white. Because she was sick some time ago, her spirits are not so good...
